Chapter 53: Waiting for the Opportunity (Third Update, Ask for Collection!)

"Hey, Yang, I see you always have your eyes on that guy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Returning to the field after the break, Li Yang sat on the bench as usual, he was watching the game on the field, and Dior on the side suddenly pushed him and said.

"Who?" Li Yang was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted, what Dio said Noah.

Since he was blocked by Noah before the end of the first half, although Li Yang is not very depressed, he has been thinking about it in his heart, so his eyes always involuntarily look at Noah on the field.

"That guy blocked me in the first half. Li Yang replied to Dior, and there was another sentence he didn't say, "If you have the opportunity to play again, you must find this field." ”

"It's just a cap. Dio said with some surprise, "It's normal to be blocked in the NBA. ”

"Yes, it's just a cap. Li Yang muttered to himself, "But this is my first time in the NBA." ”

"Yang, what did you say?" Li Yang spoke in Chinese, and his voice was very small, and Dior did not hear clearly.

"Oh, no. Li Yang shook his head, "I mean, the Bulls are doing a great job defensively. ”

After hearing Li Yang's words, Dior didn't ask any more questions. The Bulls' defense is really good, and they only let the Spurs score 9 points in the third quarter, and the defense is really good.

However, as opposed to defense, their offense is not very good, the Spurs' defense in this quarter is actually not very good, the Bulls have had several offensive opportunities, but whether it is Rohr Deng, Belinelli or Boozer, the shot has not been able to hit, so close to half a quarter, the Bulls only scored 11 points, and they were not able to complete the overtake.

Halfway through the third quarter, Popovich also stood up at this time, and while he kept walking around the sidelines to supervise the battle, his eyes swept to the sidelines from time to time, apparently preparing for substitutions.

Finally, when there was a dead ball on the field, Popovich made a substitution, replacing Split and Danny Green with Dio and Ginobili.

Ginobili and Dio are Popovich's favourite substitutes at the moment, so it's no surprise that they were the first to get their chance to play.

However, Li Yang is not worried that he will not have a chance to play next, Popovich scolded Jackson when he was angry just now, and said that the opponent has no chance to play tonight, so when replacing Leonard, Popovich will naturally think of himself, after all, there are not many players in the Bulls who can play the No. 3 position now.

Li Yang was not wrong, when there were 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Popovich replaced Leonard, and it was Li Yang who came on the court.

This time, Popovich made three changes, Duncan for Split, Li Yang for Leonard, and Mills for De Colo.

On the Bulls' side, Tom Thibodeau relied heavily on the starters, and four of their starters remained on the court, except that Jimmy Butler replaced Carlos Boozer with a large and four small lineup.

Butler is the 30th player selected by the Bulls in the first round in 11 years, with excellent physical fitness and defensive ability, it is with his defensive ability that he has gradually been valued by Tom Thibodeau this season, from an average of about 8 minutes per game in his rookie year, this winter season has risen to an average of more than 20 minutes per game, and is an important bench player for the Bulls.

In a sense, Butler and Li Yang's styles are somewhat similar, the difference is that Butler's shooting will be better than Li Yang's, but Li Yang's physical fitness is stronger than the opponent's.

Butler, this is also the player that Li Yang is now opposing.

The Bulls' offense, the score of the two teams at this time was 62:64, and the offense of the two teams was weak in this quarter, so the difference was still around 2 points until now.

After Robinson dribbled to half-court, the ball was handed to Rohr Deng, trying to make Rohr Deng misplace to attack Dior, but in the face of Duncan's timely defense, Rohr Deng could not succeed, and the ball was handed back to Nate Robinson.

After getting the ball, Robinson tried to attack Mills by surprise, but his shooting touch today was really not very good, and the ball smashed into the basket.

The ball bounced a little far, which deprived Duncan of a direct chance to win the rebound.

Li Yang rushed towards the landing point as the basketball fell, but the ball was snatched away by Noah, who was closer.

found that the rebound was snatched away by Noah, and at this time, Duncan had already pulled out to defend Noah, Li Yang immediately returned to the defense and moved in the direction of Butler outside the three-point line.

However, although the person moved in the direction of Butler, Li Yang stopped two meters away from the opponent, Butler's offensive ability is not excellent, and the three points are also very unstable, which also makes Li Yang not have to do his best when defending the opponent.

At this time, although Li Yang also took care of Butler's defense, he was actually ready to help other teammates help defend and make up for it.

However, his teammates didn't seem to need help at this moment, and several players did a good job of following up, and Noah held the ball around the free throw line for a long time, but couldn't find a good passing opportunity.

Seeing that the offensive time was decreasing little by little, Noah glanced at Duncan, who was about a meter away from him, and raised his hand to make a shooting feint.

However, Noah's feint seems to be too fake, and when he makes it, Duncan is not moved at all.

This is also to blame Noah's own shooting action, his shooting is pushed out of the eye position with both hands, and he is now doing this casually, there is no effect of ordinary people raising their center of gravity to shoot.

Duncan wasn't shaken off, and Noah's action continued, smashing the ball to the floor and he himself rushed to the basket with the ball.

Noah is an excellent defensive interior player, but unlike the average blue-collar defensive interior player, Noah has a hand to deal with the ball, although the dribbling and breakthrough ability is not first-class, but it can also reach the average level of an interior player, so at this time, he dribbles and breaks through, but he also looks good.

Defending Noah is Duncan, Shi Fo, who has been in the league for many years, has seen almost all types of players, and defensive breakthrough players are naturally very experienced, and after seeing Noah break through, he immediately went up.

Two steps inside the three-point line, Li Yang immediately moved away from Butler and began to shrink the defense after seeing Noah dribbling the ball to break through.

At this time, Noah was already entangled with Duncan, although Noah was able to continue to move towards the basket, but Duncan was tightly stuck in front of the side and did not lose position.

Seeing this, Li Yang didn't immediately step forward to wrap up, but he continued to move his steps to the basket, followed closely by the two, and was ready to attack at any time.
