Chapter 116: Overtaking Opportunity
After the timeout, Bryant did return to the court, and at this time, he had only been resting for about two minutes off the court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bryant came on to replace Blake, Gasol also returned to the court at this time, and after finding that the team was not doing too well, D'Antoni sent directly into the starting lineup.
Popovich also seemed to anticipate D'Antoni's lineup changes, and Bonner returned to the court at this time, at which time, the Spurs' lineup became Duncan and Bonner on the inside, and Li Yang, Green, and Ginobili on the outside.
Parker continued to rest off the court, and in order for the team's offense to be guaranteed at this time, Ginobili was the away point guard.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant did not directly control the ball in his hands, and after the ball was handed to Nash, Kobe Bryant ran actively.
The league's top scoring guards are actually very good off the ball, such as Kobe, Wade, and Ginobili's off-ball running skills are very good, but their offensive ability with the ball is too strong, so it is even more impressive.
Kobe Bryant was actively running with the help of his teammates' cover, and behind him, Li Yang chased closely, and after Gasol's high cover, Li Yang was a little slower and was unable to stop Kobe's catch.
After receiving the ball, Kobe Bryant did not give Li Yang a chance to directly defend, rushed forward, and made a quick stop jump shot.
Li Yang, who followed closely, jumped up to interfere, but was unable to stop Kobe's shot. Kobe Bryant's shooting touch today was really good, and he hit a direct two-point shot.
Ginobili had the ball in possession of the halfcourt, and the ball was in the hands of Duncan in the high post, and Ginobili and Green immediately began to run.
However, Kobe Bryant and Nash did a very good job of defending this section, and Ginobili and Green both went around in circles, but they didn't find too good offensive opportunities.
Ginobili regained control of the ball outside the three-point line on the left side, and Li Yang also pulled to the bottom corner at this time, bringing Ci Shiping out of the inside.
However, knowing that Li Yang did not have much lethality on the outside, Ci Shiping was a little far away from Li Yang at this time, obviously directly emptying Li Yang, and his attention at this time was more focused on Ginobili who was holding the ball.
Duncan blocked the high position, Ginobili began to break through the dribble, and Li Yang also began to move at this time.
Nash was affected by Duncan's blocking and dismantling and was unable to stop Ginobili in time, Gasol chose to shrink the defense, Ci Shiping also began to move his steps towards that side at this time, and Li Yang immediately moved his steps along the baseline.
Li Yang's move immediately attracted Ci Shiping's attention, he turned his body sideways, and then glanced at Li Yang, as if telling Li Yang:
"Boy, don't move, I've got my eye on you!"
Finding that Ci Shiping was eyeing him, Li Yang immediately stopped and stood still, which undoubtedly made Ci Shiping feel a little proud, Li Yang stood there He was not worried, because Li Yang's shooting was really bad, even if Ginobili gave the ball to Li Yang, it didn't matter.
Ci Shiping turned his head again, and found that at this time, Ginobili was also stopped by Nash and Gasol, and his heart was more relaxed, at this time, he only needed to keep an eye on Li Yang, and he didn't have to think about stepping forward to help defend.
Keep an eye on Li Yang...... fu*ck, what about people?
Ci Shiping turned around and prepared to defend Li Yang, but at this time, he suddenly burst into a foul language, Li Yang was gone!
Stopping made Ci Shiping relax his vigilance, and when the other party turned his head to look at Ginobili, Li Yang quickly started and cut into the basket!
In terms of fighting hearts, Li Yang can't be said to be the strongest in the NBA, but at least, Ci Shiping is not his opponent.
Li Yang got rid of Ci Shiping and cut to the basket, and at this time, Ginobili had just picked up the ball, he was about to pass back to Duncan, and after seeing Li Yang cut into the basket, he smashed the ball between Gasol and Nash, and a ground pass sent the ball directly to Li Yang.
Ginobili's pass was always so weird that Gasol and Nash didn't react at all, and the ball had already fallen into Li Yang's hands.
Li Yang, who received the ball, had already come to the three-second zone at this time, but it was not easy for Li Yang to complete the attack, because at this time, Howard made up for it!
After receiving the ball, the speed did not decrease, Li Yang stepped into the three-second zone, and at the same time, the center of gravity was sharply raised.
Watching Li Yang's movements, Howard, who came to the basket, immediately raised his hand and prepared to jump up, to stop Li Yang who was trying to complete the dunk in front of him.
But at this time, Li Yang didn't jump up directly, stepped forward with his right foot, and took a big step forward again, he came directly to the bottom right of the basket!
Realizing that he had made a mistake in judgment, Howard was busy moving sideways, but he had already raised his center of gravity and jumped, and his movement speed naturally could not be compared to Li Yang's.
When Howard was trying to keep up with Li Yang's footsteps there, Li Yang had already taken off with the momentum of these two big steps!
Jumping from the lower right of the basket, Li Yang's body jumped out of the lower left of the basket, his right hand reached the side of the basket, and his wrist was lightly hooked, and he hit the basket.
And at this point, Howard hadn't even had time to jump.
At 87:86, Kobe Bryant just completed an offensive to open up a 3-point difference, and at this time, Li Yang's cut layup tied the score.
"Smack!"
"Yang, well done!"
Seeing Li Yang and Kobe Bryant on the court, the Spurs fans on the scene also began to shout loudly, and at this time, Li Yang, who had completed the offense, quickly retreated to the halfcourt.
It's really good to complete the offense, but for him, defending Kobe Bryant is the more important task, and in this game, Kobe Bryant's hand is extremely hot.
As in the previous round, Bryant did not take the initiative to attack the ball at the beginning, and after Nash possessed the ball to the halfcourt, Bryant continued to run without the ball.
However, in this round, Kobe Bryant did not get the basketball easily, Li Yang was actively following the block, and Duncan and Split often came out from the side of the covering player to interfere with Kobe Bryant's catch.
Kobe Bryant, who couldn't receive the ball for a long time, could only pull it outside the three-point line at this time, in fact, the Lakers could also beat other people at this time, but Kobe Bryant felt hot today, and just now he completed the offense under Li Yang's defense, at this time he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
Pulling two steps outside the three-point line, Kobe Bryant finally took the ball, and the Lakers players completely pulled it away at this time, leaving Kobe Bryant enough space to attack.
Li Yang looked at Kobe Bryant who was slowly approaching, retreating one small step at a time, always keeping a relatively appropriate distance from Kobe, for a player like Kobe who can burst and shoot, whether it is too tight or too far.
Kobe Bryant suddenly started to break through and rushed to the right side, Li Yang also quickly moved his feet to block, and when Kobe Bryant rushed into the three-point line a step away, Li Yang stopped in front of the opponent.
"Squeak!"
At this time, Bryant's sudden emergency stop was raised.
This ball was almost exactly the same as the previous one, and Li Yang, who had been on guard, immediately took a step forward to jump up to defend, but at this time, Li Yang suddenly found that Kobe Bryant did not jump directly.
Shooting feints?
This thought immediately flashed through Li Yang's mind, and Li Yang, who understood it, quickly stopped his action about to jump, and at the same time, the raised hand was quickly retracted.
Bryant did want to foul, and he had a noticeable pause after his center of gravity was raised, and then he jumped up to shoot.
According to Kobe's assumption, Li Yang had already jumped up in the air at this time, and no matter how bad he was, he had already raised his hand to stick it, so he was ready for a physical confrontation with this ball.
But what Kobe didn't expect was that Li Yang hid so fast and jumped in the air, he wanted to rely on Li Yang, but he leaned directly into the air, which undoubtedly directly affected his shooting rhythm.
"Bang!" the ball hit the basket and bounced, indeed while the iron was hot.
At the same time, the referee's whistle did not make any sound, Li Yang did not foul, and the defense was successful!
“suprs!go!go!”
The Spurs fans at the scene began to shout neat slogans at this time, the Spurs have the right to attack, and they have the opportunity to overtake!
