Chapter 1144 Continuous Fouls

The Lakers did not replace Duncan, because the result is the same whether he replaces him or not. The Suns will definitely stop attacking the Lakers' inside line until they completely defeat the Lakers.

Now Phil Jackson's bet is that before his inside line is blown up, his outside line can hit the Suns.

56:49, the Suns lead by 7 points.

Two minutes later, Kobe made one of two three-pointers, and Parker hit a long two-pointer, still feeling hot.

But looking back, the Suns continued to attack the inside. Duncan, who committed five fouls, and Gasol, who committed four fouls, had already withdrawn their hands on the defensive end. This made Li Ba's offensive even more fierce. He was unstoppable at the basket, scoring three goals in a row and fighting again. Artest got a foul and hit the extra free throw, scoring 7 points in a row, 63:54, further increasing the score.

Lakers offense.

Kobe missed a three-pointer and Duncan grabbed the rebound. During the second attack, he was slapped in the sky by Li Ba.

The ball bounced out of the paint area and towards the free throw line. Li Ba landed, turned around and rushed forward.

Kobe also rushed to the free throw line, caught the ball first, then continued to rush to the left elbow area, took off one step later, leaned back sideways while gliding in the air, and with a shake of his hands, the basketball flew towards the basket.

"Uh-huh!"

The water splashed and hit two points.

Li Ba didn't look back and rushed out of the top of the arc.

"Hurry up!" Payton yelled from the sidelines.

After Dayao picked up the ball and rushed to the baseline, he turned around and threw the ball towards Li Ba.

Li Ba grabbed the ball backwards with one hand, rushed forward twice and then dribbled forward.

In front of him was Parker, who was returning to defense. He was forced to have no chance to turn around, let alone steal.

After the two rushed into the paint area one after another, Li Ba flew into the air crazily behind Parker.

Parker in front felt the wind blowing from behind, and instinctively ducked to avoid it.

The next moment, Li Ba separated his legs and flew over Parker's head. With a bang, the entire basket was sunk two feet.

"Oh!" the whole audience exclaimed.

"yeah!"

Among the silent Lakers fans, away fans cheered.

Parker couldn't stand firm when he leaned over to dodge. He staggered two steps and hit the backboard. His heart was beating violently. He felt that it was too dangerous just now.

Barkley roared crazily: "That's crazy! What Hammer did just now was too crazy! He's been crazy today!"

65:54, the Suns lead by 11 points.

The game entered a timeout because the Lakers' basket was broken by Li Ba.

The two benches are next to each other, showing completely opposite states. One side is dead, only breathing, and no morale. The other side is enthusiastic and high morale.

Kenny Smith said: "If the Lakers can withstand the Hammer's attack at the basket, then with their excellent performance from the outside today, the Lakers can win. Unfortunately, the Lakers can't withstand the attack at the basket. Once the inside line collapsed, the outside line collapsed. No matter how good you are in shooting, unless you can get a hit rate of more than 70%, it is impossible to win.”

The pause in the game gave both sides a chance to rest. Twenty minutes later, the basket frame was not ready, and the game did not restart until half an hour later.

"The Hammer was damaged twice today, which delayed it for an hour. Especially this time, it was to save the lives of the Lakers!" Zhang Lili complained.

The Suns attacked, and Kobe advanced quickly. After shaking Tony Allen, he shot another three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

The water splashed again.

Barkley shouted: "This is Kobe's 8th three-pointer. He made 8 of 16 three-pointers. He performed at a super level."

The Suns advanced steadily, positional warfare began, and it was still an inside attack.

After half an hour's rest, Li Ba's physical fitness recovered better than Duncan and Gasol. This is the advantage of young people.

Dayao is in the high post and Gasol is defending.

The ball was now in the hands of Tony Allen, who was unguarded on the right wing.

Li Ba was double-teamed by Duncan and Artest. He walked directly to the basket and shouted at Tony Allen: "Pass."

Tony Allen pushed up with both hands and really lobbed the ball.

Duncan and Artest each held one of Li Ba's arms while looking up at the ball.

Artest was on the right side of the basket. When the ball slid down from the high point, he let go of Li Ba's left arm and jumped to steal the ball.

Duncan continued to clamp Li Ba's right arm, preventing him from fighting for the ball.

At this moment, Li Ba struggled hard and turned around suddenly. His right arm followed him, causing Duncan to stagger and fall directly to the basket.

The whistle blew and the referee ran over.

Duncan on the floor and Li Ba standing looked at the referee to see how he would make the penalty.

The referee glanced at Duncan, pointed at Li Ba, and made a gesture of body violation.

"Fuck you!" Yu Jia cursed.

Zhang Lili also shouted excitedly: "Are you turning a blind eye to such an obvious movement of folding your arms?"

Xu Jicheng didn't say anything, and kept making small movements with his fingers on the table with his right hand.

The Suns fouled for the fourth time and the Lakers had the ball.

Kobe shot another three-pointer, but this time he missed, and Li Ba grabbed the rebound.

But the whistle sounded again, and the referee pointed at Li Ba and made a push.

This was Li Ba's third foul, and he got two fouls in a minute.

The away fans were already yelling and they were very emotional.

Zhang Lili reminded: "At critical moments, there are always some unexpected factors. The Hammers must be careful, otherwise Duncan will not be sent off, and you will be sent off first."

Lakers offense.

Kobe shot another three-pointer, and this time he hit it. 65:60, the Lakers were only 5 points behind.

Barkley laughed, "This is Kobe's 9th three-pointer, 9 out of 17 three-pointers. The situation on the field is favorable to the Lakers now, and the Lakers should seize the opportunity to catch up."

Kenny Smith laughed, "It would be better if the hammer was sent off."

"Haha..." The two laughed after saying that.

The Suns attacked.

Li Ba was active in the low post and was also double-teamed. He reached out for the ball again.

"No compromise, the hammer still has to play, and he is determined to play to the end." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

At this time, Tony Allen received the pass from Yao Ming and passed it to the double-teamed Li Ba from the left wing.

Li Ba faced the top of the arc and took the ball with his right hand.

At this time, Duncan came up from behind and Artest rushed up from the front. Li Ba was one and a half meters away from the basket and could not attack the basket directly.

He didn't dare to move his elbow, which would definitely be blown, so the moment he received the ball, he jumped up directly, hooked the ball with his right hand, and hooked it to the basket.

"Little hook?" Yu Jia shouted.

Duncan and Artest immediately moved towards the basket, trying to block Li Ba outside and fight for the rebound.

But Li Ba was mentally prepared. When he landed, he was half a beat faster than the two of them. He stepped on the edge of the reasonable collision zone and then jumped up.

As he moved, the ball hit the basket and bounced. After he jumped up, he just caught up. With his right hand, he pressed the ball into the basket with a bang.

"Tied-in dunk? Beautiful!" Yu Jia roared.

67:60, the Suns led by 7 points.
