Chapter 454: Violent Buckle Opening
"Young, is the game about to start?" said Whiteside, sitting in the home team's locker room, with an excited expression on his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
'Come on, Hassan, but as a substitute you need to be off the pitch first. Li Yang sweated in his heart, this guy entered the play too quickly.
Yesterday, after playing a few games of 2K with Whiteside, Li Yang's focus was not on how high Whiteside's level was, but on whether the other party could really stay focused.
The result surprised Li Yang very much, the two played 2K for more than two hours, and Whiteside really didn't show any signs of distraction, kept focused, and the more he played, the more excited he became, which made Li Yang extremely surprised.
After establishing this, Li Yang suddenly realized that this might be a good thing for Whiteside.
"Hassan, why don't you try to think of the game as a game, and when you go out on the pitch, you don't think you're playing, you think you're playing. β
After hearing Li Yang's proposal, Whiteside's eyes lit up on the spot, "Playing the game as a game, I should be the first ball, that's really cool." β
What Li Yang didn't expect was that Whiteside was really in the play, and now the game hasn't started yet, Whiteside has already entered the state, look at what he just said, it is not called whether the game starts quickly, but whether the game has started.
What made Li Yang almost faint was that when he appeared, Whiteside suddenly said: "2K games are getting better and better, it's too real!"
Looking at Whiteside's chattering appearance, Li Yang suddenly felt a little worried, shouldn't his inexplicable proposal make Whiteside inexplicable?
Of course, Li Yang can't care about the other party at the moment, and the game is about to start immediately.
The Celtics' opponent in this game is the Los Angeles Clippers, although after Paul joined, the Clippers did not make a big breakthrough in the playoffs, but the Clippers are still excellent, compared with last season, the Clippers have not made much adjustment.
Inside Andrew Jordan, power forward Blake Griffin, small forward Matt Barnes, shooting guard JJ Redick, and point guard Chris Paul are the Clippers' starting lineup for this game.
On the Celtics side, because of the uncertainty on Whiteside, Stevens still didn't put him in the starting lineup, with Sullinger at center, Jeff Green at power forward, Li Yang at small forward, Bradley at point guard, and Smart at point guard.
Salinger and Jordan Jr. jumped the ball, and the ball was unsurprisingly touched by Jordan Jr. first, and then fell into Paul's hands.
At the same time, Li Yang also quickly retreated towards the backcourt, but Li Yang did not follow Barnes, but took the initiative to face Griffin.
This is Stevens' arrangement, in the Clippers' offense, the most lethal is undoubtedly Paul and Griffin's blocking, Paul's side has Bradley to match, and Griffin's side, Stevens directly arranged Li Yang to dislocate the defense.
Although in terms of position, Jeff Green is more like a player in the No. 4 position, but in terms of physical confrontation ability, Green is really not as good as Li Yang, and Green can also play the No. 3 position, so Stevens directly misplaced Li Yang and Green.
"Huh?"
Griffin was slightly surprised when he saw that it was Li Yang who stopped him, but his action was not slow, and he continued to follow the pre-game coach's arrangement, and chose to take the initiative to play blocking and dismantling with Paul.
Paul and Griffin's pick-and-roll defense has been very proficient, and after Griffin blocked Bradley with a high-quality pick-and-roll, Paul immediately rushed into the three-point line with the ball.
Knowing that Bradley couldn't keep up with Paul's pace for a while, Li Yang quickly shrank his steps to the inside to help defend.
Paul is undoubtedly very clear about Li Yang's defensive ability, he knows that he can't easily get rid of Li Yang, so he didn't rush to accelerate to the basket, and when Bradley rushed to follow, Paul made a ground pass and sent the ball to Griffin, who was separated after blocking and covering on the side.
Under normal circumstances, Griffin would shoot directly after receiving the ball, but at this moment it was Li Yang who was opposite him.
Almost at the same time as Paul had a passing action, Li Yang had already rushed towards Griffin from Paul's side, although Li Yang's speed could not be compared with Paul's pass to stop Griffin's pass, but the next moment Griffin got the basketball, Li Yang had already rushed to the other party.
Griffin, who was raising his hand to shoot, saw that Li Yang had rushed to him, and immediately put down the ball and smashed it towards the floor, and at the same time took a step to rush past Li Yang's side.
Griffin's series of actions is really not slow, if he is facing an average big player, he will directly shake off the opponent and hit the basket.
But who is Li Yang? Even for the vast majority of outside players, it is difficult for such an action to shake out space from Li Yang's defense, not to mention that although Griffin is an inside player with an outside style of play, but the frequency of other people's actions cannot be compared with ordinary outside players after all, Griffin's self-righteous shaking feints are quite good, but in Li Yang's eyes, it directly exposes loopholes.
Rushing to Griffin, when Griffin put the ball down and was about to break through from the left side, Li Yang quickly moved a small step to this side, and at the same time, the long arm pointed directly at the basketball that had just smashed the floor and was about to rebound.
"Whew!"
With the friction sound of his fingertips sweeping over the basketball, Li Yang's big hand accurately clicked on the basketball, and stabbed the basketball that had just bounced off the floor and was about to fall into Griffin's hand directly behind Griffin.
At the same time, Li Yang's figure flashed, and it had already flashed out from Griffin's right side, reaching out to copy the basketball that landed on the floor behind him.
βSH-ITοΌβ
Griffin didn't expect Li Yang's movements to be so fast, he was still rushing forward with the inertia of his movements, but he suddenly found that the basketball was out of his control, and when he turned his head to see that Li Yang was picking up the basketball that fell on the floor, Griffin immediately understood and immediately burst into foul language.
"Yang! Yang steals the opponent and counterattacks!!"
At this moment, both the Celtic fans at the scene and the commentators at home couldn't help but shout excitedly.
"YANG, GO!GO!GO!"
With the huge shouts and cheers of the Celtics fans at the scene, Li Yang, who completed the steal, rushed to the front court on the other side with the ball, and at that time, no Clippers player could keep up with Li Yang's footsteps!
The Clippers players didn't expect Li Yang to steal Griffin so easily, so they were half a beat slower when they retreated, and no one took the first step to retreat, and when Li Yang got the ball and started a fast counterattack, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream for the Clippers players to catch up.
Li Yang, who was carrying the ball, completely threw off the Clippers players behind him, and the person was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed the half court and appeared in the free throw line on the other side!
"Yang!!Yang !!"
With the cheers and screams on the scene, Li Yang jumped up and down in the free throw line, and while the person rushed high into the air, the right hand that grabbed the ball quickly sent it to the crotch!
"Yang quickly counterattacked, jumped, this is Yang's performance moment, one step inside the free throw line, and the crotch changes hands to dunk!"
"Boom!" When Li Yang dunked the ball into the basket, the scene suddenly set off a huge wave of cheers, mixed with the excited yelling of the DJ on the spot.
Li .................. Yang !!!!!"
