Chapter 71: Anxious Fans
The Spurs took the lead, Parker dribbled past half-court and the ball was handed to Dio, who was at the free-throw line. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Dio plays a Duncan-like role on the offensive end of this lineup, and he does have a good hand to play the game, and he can shoot inside and out, and his range is farther than Duncan, and he can extend beyond the three-point line. So after Dio got the ball, the Nuggets' defender Kenneth Farid didn't dare to let Dio go too far.
Dio was in the high post, and the rest of the Spurs players were skillful runners, and among them, Parker and Danny Green were the main runners.
Li Yang didn't run too much at this time, he was mainly covering for his two teammates, and the coach also asked for this in the pre-game arrangement.
About two meters to the left of the three-second zone, Li Yang was preparing to cover for Danny Green, followed by Iguodala, a swingman with excellent physical fitness and defense, who was once the leader of the 76ers in the post-Iverson era.
At this time, Danny Green was actively running in the hope of getting rid of the opponent, but Iguodala's defense was very tight and did not give Green a chance, so Green ran towards Li Yang at this time, hoping to use Li Yang's cover to get rid of the defense.
Li Yang stared at Green who was running over, and when Green ran over, the eyes of the two met in the air, and then Li Yang suddenly moved a little step to the left.
Li Yang's step not only blocked the sight of Wilson Chandler, who was next to him, but also directly stopped in front of Green and Iguodala rushing over. However, Green, who had already had a tacit understanding with Li Yang, took a big step towards the side almost at the same time, directly avoiding Li Yang.
Green avoided it, but Iguodala's reaction was not so fast, after all, he didn't know in advance that Li Yang would move at this time, and when Li Yang moved, his vision was also blocked by Green.
"Porphyry!"
Iguodala almost collided directly with Li Yang, if it weren't for Li Yang's preparation, plus Iguodala reacted at the last moment and made some avoidance, the force of this collision would be greater, but even so, Li Yang was almost hit and retreated directly, and Iguodala, who was following the defense, was also forced to slow down.
Because Li Yang did not deliberately block Iguodala, but moved one step ahead to block Green, Iguodala himself did not avoid it, and the referee did not punish Li Yang for a covering foul, Green who seized the opportunity immediately ran to the middle distance and took Dior's pass and shot, and hit two points!
After seeing Green's shot, Iguodala turned around and signaled Li Yang's covering foul to the referee on the baseline, but the baseline referee also happened to see everything that happened before very clearly and ignored Iguodala's complaints.
The Nuggets' offense, veteran Andre Miller controlled the ball to the halfcourt, and this point guard who looks like Karen Mok has been in the league for many years and was once considered one of the league's most underrated point guards.
Like Parker, Miller Sr. has a poor mid-to-long-range shooting, and his offense is more focused on the basket. It's just that unlike Parker, who uses speed to break through, Miller Sr. prefers to use his body and rhythm, and despite getting older, his style hasn't changed, and he squeezes Parker into the basket after halftime.
Rushing to the vicinity of the three-second zone, Miller did not directly attack the basket at this time, leaning his back against Parker, his eyes began to turn, which made Split, who was originally going to step forward to help defend, couldn't help but slow down, but then, Miller turned around and stuck Parker behind him, and then went straight to the basket to score 2 points.
Using his back, butt, and strength to squeeze opponents out of the way, rather than gaining space through dodging, is how Miller attacks the basket differently from Parker.
was completed by Miller's direct single attack, Parker was obviously not too convinced at this time, receiving Split's pass on the baseline, Parker dribbled the ball and rushed to the halfcourt.
Miller's defensive experience is undoubtedly extremely rich, and after seeing Parker rushing over, he directly let the opponent take a small step and chose to shrink the defense, obviously wary of Parker's breakthrough. Sure enough, as Parker rushed forward, he immediately moved his feet sideways into place, using his strong body to block Parker.
Finding that he couldn't attack, Parker handed the ball to Split, who was about to step forward to block it, and then turned back to the outside line to pick it up again.
Regaining possession of the ball, Parker pulled away a little outside the three-point line, which gave him more room to start, and when Split was standing on the right side to block and Miller Sr. was also following, Parker suddenly changed direction and rushed to the left.
Parker's start speed this time was very fast, and unlike Miller's judgment that Parker would block and break through to the right, Miller's defense was directly broken through by Parker at this time.
It was obviously not possible to let Parker rush to the basket, and Wilson Chandler, who was defending Li Yang in the bottom left corner, quickly stepped up to the defense.
Seeing Chandler leaving, Li Yang also immediately started from the bottom corner and rushed to the basket.
Maybe seeing that Li Yang was a little far away from the basket at this time, or maybe he wanted to try his touch, Parker did not pass the ball directly to Li Yang who slipped to the bottom line at this time, but threw the ball with a stop-stop jump shot before Chandler rushed to him.
"Bang!"
Parker, who had just come on the court, didn't seem to find the touch of a mid-range shot, and the ball smashed into the front of the basket and bounced out.
Chandler, Parker, and Miller all rushed to the basketball landing point at this time, because the interior players of both teams were not stuck on this side, and the basketball bounced directly to the outside. However, before the three of them, a figure had already reached the landing point one step ahead.
Li Yang, who just cut into the inside, saw the ball pop up, and appeared at the landing position of the basketball for the first time, and took the frontcourt rebound into his arms!
"Good board!" This scene couldn't help but make Lin Xiaobai in front of the screen shout, "Attack!"
The Spurs fans in front of the screen hoped that Li Yang could attack directly, but in fact, Li Yang did not have such an opportunity for the time being, because after seeing Li Yang get the ball, several Nuggets players pounced.
However, all the Nuggets players pounced at this time, because Li Yang had just grabbed the ball in his hand and passed it out in the blink of an eye.
Parker found that the ball was taken away by Li Yang when he rushed to the landing point, and rushed forward past Li Yang and rushed directly to the basket, and Li Yang, who had just grabbed the rebound, passed the ball to Parker with a hidden hand.
While the Nuggets players' attention was on Li Yang at this time, Parker hit an easy layup!
The two teams went back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, they played for more than four minutes, at which time the score was 7:9, and the Spurs temporarily led by 2 points.
In these four minutes, Li Yang did not make a shot, although his presence on the court was not bad, he defended actively, gave assists, and grabbed 2 rebounds, but the fact that he could not score made many Spurs fans in front of the screen very anxious.
"Li Yang is attacking, it won't be a break for a while, it's not in a state. ”
"Why didn't Li Yang make a move?"
The fans who followed Li Yang in front of the screen finally saw Li Yang playing in the game again, and he was still a starter, so they were naturally full of expectations, but Li Yang didn't make a shot for a few minutes, which made them very anxious.
