Kobe turned around and rushed down the court. Artest threw the ball to Kobe. At this time, Li Ba flew up, cut into the passing route with his big hand, and intercepted the ball.
After landing, Li Ba turned around and rushed to the basket two steps away.
Duncan and Gasol were already starting to go down, and they quickly retreated to the basket.
Li Ba held the ball in his right hand and rushed to Duncan on the right side of the basket. He wanted to attack Duncan and knock this guy down first.
As soon as Duncan retreated to the basket, Li Ba arrived in front of him.
Li Ba jumped into the air with a very high speed. Duncan couldn't jump up in time, so he instinctively reached out and pulled.
"Bang!"
Li Ba smashed the ball away, landed unsteadily, and fell under the basket.
"Oh!"
The girl on the sidelines was shocked when she saw it.
"Dad!"
Guoguo's eyes widened.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and ran over.
"Boss?"
The players on the Suns' court rushed over, and the bench also stood up.
"It's okay!"
Li Ba climbed up and looked at the referee.
When Duncan pulled him just now, he didn't let go and didn't fall.
At this time, the referee pointed at Duncan and called a foul for pulling, and he was sent off for six fouls.
"This foul of pulling in the air is too serious, just give it a flagrant foul." Yu Jia shouted.
"It's good that Tiechui didn't get hurt. I was shocked when he fell just now." Zhang Heli shouted.
"Duncan shouldn't have done it on purpose, it might be an instinctive reaction." Xu Jicheng said.
"It shouldn't be. When Tiechui fell, Duncan still pulled him, but didn't hold him." Zhang Heli said.
With Duncan's departure, half of the Lakers' inside line fell.
Phil Jackson replaced Odom, playing the fourth position, and Gasol played the fifth position.
The game continued, and Li Ba took free throws.

Three seconds were about to expire, Li Ba moved from the basket to the left wing low post, turned in the paint area, and suddenly turned upward. At this time, Yao Ming passed the ball, Li Ba received the ball, changed direction, and rushed to the basket from top to bottom.
Gasol and Artest hurriedly moved to the basket. At this time, Li Ba took a step and suddenly jumped up, holding the ball with one arm, and smashed it into the basket.
Gasol was below and had no chance to block.
Artest was above, but he couldn't stand in position, so he had to jump up and block from the side.
"Bang!"
The two collided.
Artest fell out, and after landing, he kept retreating and fell to the floor.
Li Ba's body was knocked crooked in the air, and he threw the ball to the basket with his right hand, then stumbled and almost fell.
The ball hit the basket and bounced towards Li Ba.
Li Ba hadn't stood firm yet, so he barely jumped up, grabbed the ball, and then jumped again.
At this time, Gasol jumped up to block the shot, but his slap didn't hit the ball, but hit Li Ba's head instead, and then with a bang, the ball went in and the whistle sounded.
The referee signaled that Gasol committed a defensive foul and Li Ba made an additional free throw.
"Okay, Gasol has five fouls." Yu Jia said excitedly.
Li Ba missed the free throw, 71:63, the Suns led by 8 points.
Odom grabbed the rebound and the Lakers attacked.
Kobe missed the three-pointer, Li Ba grabbed the rebound, personally carried the ball to the frontcourt, signaled his teammates to open up, and he wanted to single out Artest.
"He wants to cause damage, and he probably won't pass the ball, pay attention to the low post double team." Phil Jackson shouted.
With a move of his right foot, Li Ba took a step forward, but then retracted it, and then took another step forward. This time, Artest's center of gravity moved continuously, and he was directly knocked down, and then the former rushed into the paint area.
"Beautiful!" Zhang Heli and others shouted at the same time.
Gasol and Odom shrank from the low position on the left and right wings at the same time, trying to close the door for defense, but Li Ba's determination to attack the basket was so strong that he rushed towards the two people's closing door.
"Snap!"
Li Ba held the ball with his right hand, and Odom on the right jumped up and slapped him, but the former's rebound speed was too fast, and he didn't catch up, missed the ball, and hit the former's right arm.
At this time, the whistle sounded, and at the same time, with a bang, Li Ba smashed the ball into the basket.
The referee indicated that Odom had committed a hand foul, and Li Ba had an additional free throw.
"Odom has four fouls, Gasol has five fouls, and Artest has four fouls. The Lakers' inside line is in danger!"
Zhang Heli laughed.
Li Ba made the free throw, 74:63, the Suns lead reached 11 points.
Attack and defense transition, Kobe made a three-pointer, today he shot Tony Allen.
Li Ba pushed the ball forward again, serving as a point guard.
At the top of the arc, Li Ba took a step to break through Artest, who stretched out his hand to hook the former's arm.
Li Ba forced his strength and dragged Artest into the paint area.
But at this time the referee blew the whistle. If he didn't blow it, he would be kicked out of the league by Stern after the game.

The first free throw missed, the second free throw was made, 75:66, the Suns led by 9 points.
Parker shot and made a three-pointer, 75:69, continuing to extend the life of the Lakers.
Li Ba once again broke through at the top of the arc. This time Artest stopped guarding and retreated directly to the basket.
But this time, it gave Li Ba a great opportunity to rush to the basket. With Artest's active retreat, the space from the top of the arc to the basket made Li Ba's speed increase.
Three steps later, Li Ba flew into the air. With a bang, he first knocked over Artest who was retreating. Then with a bang, he dunked hard with both arms and smashed the ball into the basket.
"oh!"
The whole audience exclaimed.
"Beep!"
At this time, the referee blew the whistle and made a gesture. Li Ba committed an offensive foul and the goal was invalid. The Lakers made two free throws.
"Damn, is this an offensive foul? Which of your eyes saw Artest standing still?" Payton frantically sprayed at the referee.
"At the critical moment, our protagonist once again performed a wonderful performance." Buckley shouted excitedly.
"Charles, be careful of the company's fines," Kenny Smith reminded.
"This is an obvious blocking foul, and the whistle is too obvious, right? This is no longer the home whistle. The Suns will definitely appeal to the league."
Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
"The Hammers have to change their style of play now, there are four fouls." Xu Jicheng reminded.
"Ice Hammer will not change his playing style, he will only become crazier and more determined." Zhang Li said with a smile.
The Lakers made free throws, and Kobe made two free throws. 75:71, the Lakers were still 4 points behind.
The Suns attack.
Li Ba holds the ball again, preparing to break through at the top of the arc.
With one step, Artest reached the paint area with the ball.
"It's useless, you just can't prevent it!" Yu Jia roared excitedly.
At this time, Gasol and Odom returned to the basket from the left and right wings in the low post, and Li Ba soared.
