"Porphyry!" Li Yang had just taken a step forward with the ball, and there was immediately a resistance in front of him, which made Li Yang forced to stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was Butler, Li Yang raised his head, slightly surprised.

The sudden start after shaking, using his excellent first step to break through directly, most of the time, Li Yang's move can be described as tried and tested, even if he can't directly shake off the opponent, most of the time he can directly find the breakthrough space, but he didn't expect to be directly stopped by Butler today.

Li Yang didn't try to force his way through the opponent's defense, and after retreating a little and widening the distance between the two, he started to start again.

Left and right, this trick is also commonly used by Li Yang, but this time, Butler's judgment is also accurate, when Li Yang took a step, Butler has already moved his feet and started to block.

At this time, Li Yang changed his crotch to the left and killed, and finally found a breakthrough space from Butler's defense.

But even so, Li Yang did not completely throw Butler away, when Li Yang dribbled forward, Butler still stuck to his side to interfere, plus Li Yang, the other players who delayed the Bulls, had already reacted, Noah had shrunk to the basket at this time, and Li Yang had to pass the ball out.

The ball was in Duncan's hands, and Duncan faced Noah's mid-range shot, but the ball couldn't be hit. Li Yang's attempt to hit the frontcourt rebound was also unsuccessful, and he was completely left behind by Butler.

On the other end, the Bulls' offense also fell short, and in the face of the Spurs' defense, Hinrich's shot bounced out of the basket.

Once again, the ball came to the Spurs, and this time Li Yang couldn't even catch the ball outside the three-point line, Butler followed too closely, and Parker chose to attack with the ball himself after seeing it.

I have to admit that Butler's defense is indeed very good, whether it is physical confrontation or movement ability, it is very good, once Li Yang tries to catch the ball and attack, Butler will always stick it to defend as soon as possible.

In the following round, Li Yang received the ball outside the three-point line and shot directly, but in the face of Butler's save, Li Yang's shot finally bounced out of the basket.

At the end of the first quarter, Li Yang forced a basket during a catch-and-shoot attack, trying to force a layup under Butler's defense, but because the physical confrontation with Butler was too fierce, he was blocked by Noah, who came over to make up for it.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 21:24, and the Spurs trailed by 3 points.

In this quarter of the game, Li Yang played for six minutes, shot 0 of 2, did not score a point, and at the same time made a mistake, the only thing that could be done was probably 2 rebounds.

In five of these six minutes, Li Yang was in opposition to Butler, and the two goals he missed and the mistake were also defended by Butler.

Yang looked completely restrained by Jimmy. Gal Forman, who watched the game for half the quarter with great interest, said to his assistant on the side with some disappointment at this time.

"Is Jan only suitable as a sixth man, and once he plays against a player who is very good defensively in the team's starters, he will perform badly?"

After hearing Gal Forman's question, the assistant on the side shook his head, he didn't know how to answer Gal Forman's words, in fact, the Bulls have been observing Li Yang for a while, Li Yang's performance has always been good, and because of this, when the Spurs came to Chicago to play, Gal Forman came to the scene to watch the game with great interest.

However, judging from the first quarter of the game, Li Yang's performance was indeed unsatisfactory, he was completely entangled by Butler, and the offense could not be opened at all.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Li Yang continued to stay on the court, while Butler, who only rested for one minute in the first quarter of the game, sat on the sidelines and continued to rest.

However, in this section, Li Yang also did not have too dazzling performance on the offensive end, because the performance of Belinelli, Dior, and Mills in this section was too good, and several people hit consecutive offensive hits, and played cooperatively, helping the Bulls directly overtake the score.

After four minutes of playing in the second quarter, Li Yang only had one offensive that was impressive, and that was with the help of the Bulls' mistakes, Li Yang completed a very beautiful dunk with a fast break.

However, this is obviously not what Gal Forman wants to see, Li Yang dunks well, which everyone knows, the Bulls want to see Li Yang's all-round scoring ability.

It's just that in the first half, Gaal Forman didn't wait for such an opportunity, because Belinelli was hot in this game, and Popovich did not choose to replace Li Yang in the rest of the first half.

At 46:46, in the second quarter of the game, the Spurs caught up with the difference.

After the first half of the game, Li Yang's data was 1 of 3 shots, 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, which is really a bit sluggish for Li Yang's recent performance.

The Spurs didn't pay much attention to Li Yang's statistics in the first half of the game, the Spurs' bench played well in the first half, and Li Yang's performance on the defensive end continued to be stable, so they naturally ignored Li Yang's not very smooth offense.

Li Yang himself noticed that after he realized at halftime that he had only scored 2 points in the first half of the game, he thought carefully about his performance in the game.

Then Li Yang found himself too obsessed with using his personal ability to break Jimmy Butler's defense, or the Bulls' defense, because many times Li Yang faced more than Butler alone. Whether it's a direct shot after receiving the ball or a breakthrough, it's all about scoring directly and quickly.

Thinking about this, Li Yang immediately realized that with the continuous improvement of offensive ability, especially after having more balls in his hands this season, he seems to be much more "unique" than before in terms of offensive options, for example, he seems to be much less open to the basket than before, but more like to break through after taking the ball, and most of the receiving offense is on the shooting end.

Li Yang was secretly vigilant in his heart, this is not a very good phenomenon, of course there must be an individual attack, in fact, he likes the feeling of holding the ball and breaking through others.

However, it would be a better choice to show his personal ability on the basis of cooperation with his teammates, after all, he still has a big disadvantage that his ability to hold the ball and create shooting opportunities is still very average, his pull-up jump shot is not stable, and he has not yet practiced back steps or something.

Of course, Li Yang also knows that this has a certain relationship with Parker on the court, when Parker is on the court, Li Yang positions himself more as a scorer, so sometimes it is easy to ignore some subtle coordination.

Li Yang didn't think there was any big problem, a season is very long, both the state and the mentality are prone to certain fluctuations, just adjust it.

After thinking about these clearly, Li Yang is very clear about what he wants to do in the second half of the game, or he should use the team's offensive system to choose more options to cut under the basket to find offensive opportunities, first disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm, and then find his own opportunity to attack with the ball.

And when attacking with the ball, you should play more blocking and dismantling with your teammates, unless you are forced to do so, there is no need to carry the opponent's defense, which is not wise. Before his ability to hold the ball and create shots improves, his choices on the offensive end should be more based on this principle.

When Li Yang walked out of the locker room after thinking about this, Gal Forman had also sat on the sidelines again, he wanted to see Li Yang's performance in the second half of the game, and see if Li Yang was not in good shape in the first half of the game. (To be continued.) )
