Chapter 629 Falling Kobe, You Let Me Down

Staples, at this time the first quarter is over, 30:30, the two teams are tied.

Li Ba made 5 of 7 shots in a single quarter, got a big hat from Dayao, and dunked once, but he dunked Dayao 3 times, which made Yao feel like he was dying, and caused Yao's second foul. In the 9th minute Was substituted.

He was also cut three times, Dayao cut him once, Odom once, Kobe rushed in and cut once, scored two plus one, made 4 of 7 free throws, scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 4 Block 1 turnover 1 foul data.

The Suns made 8 three-pointers from the outside line in the first quarter and made 3 of them. The shooting rate is average and normal.

But Barbosa made 5 turnovers in one quarter, and Kobe and Smush frequently double-teamed him and lost a lot of possessions.

For the Lakers, Dayao played very well in the high post. He made 5 of 8 shots in a single quarter, ate two blocks from Li Ba, missed a goal, was intercepted 2 times, scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 0 steals and 1 block. The data of 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, except for a little more turnovers and fouls, the performance is still very comprehensive.

Against a defender of Li Ba's caliber, it's already pretty good for him to put up such numbers. Phil Jackson was very satisfied with O'Neal's performance against Li Ba last year.

"Tie Hammer and Dayao are fighting for real!" Zhang Lili laughed.

Yu Jia smiled and said: "Yao still defended against the Hammer twice, which reduced his offensive efficiency, but his performance was still very strong. Kobe didn't make much effort in the first quarter, so it's hard to say about the rest of the game."

In the second quarter of the game, the two sides were half the main force and half the substitute.

At halftime, 55:55, the two sides tied again.

In the third quarter, the Lakers kept their starters in the first quarter, and the Suns made adjustments, namely Li Ba, Kurt Thomas, Marion, Battier, and Barbosa.

"High pick-and-roll tactics, the Hammers do a good job of covering the offense under the basket." Frank arranged the offensive tactics before going on the court.

The Lakers attack.

The ball was still given to Dayao first.

Li Ba defended close to him, but Dayao's turn and recoil was too strong, and he couldn't let go.

With him defending Dayao alone and without assistance, the Lakers can't get open spots on the perimeter. This is the strength of the Suns, and it is also a headache for other teams.

There is no inside offensive player in the league, including O'Neal, who is worthy of the Suns' double-teaming, and Li Ba can solve the opponent alone.

The essence of the triangle offense, one thing, is to use the superstar's powerful ability to attract double-teams to create open opportunities.

But this tactic is useless in front of Li Ba, he doesn't need the help of his teammates.

But having said that, today’s defense against Dayao, even though he sent two big caps and two steals, also caused Dayao to miss a goal, and made Dayao hit 5 times in 10 offenses with the ball. , His defensive efficiency against Dayao is not very high.

Of course, this is also his defense against Dayao, which is really clean to the extreme. He doesn't want to hurt Dayao and affect the defensive efficiency.

Dayao took the ball, and Kobe quickly cut to the basket from the left wing.

Dayao hangs a pass from Li Batou, which is really unstoppable, it's too high.

Li Ba immediately turned around and rushed to the basket.

Kobe jumped up to catch the ball, and Li Ba jumped to catch the ball with one step, and then jumped up.

But at this moment, Kobe did not attack, but passed the ball back to Dayao in the air.

Dayao received the ball and made an easy shot.

55:57, the Lakers lead.

"Kobe, you have no guts!" Li Ba yelled.

"We scored, and I earned an assist." Kobe said coldly.

"Do you want to be the assist king? Have you forgotten the greatness? You should attack and keep attacking." Li Ba's eyes widened.

"You idiot, do I spend all my time attacking? I know what I'm doing." Bryant also stared.

"Kobe, you've fallen! A Kobe with no head is not a good Kobe." Li Ba shook his head and muttered.

"Hehe!" Kobe laughed angrily.

"Beautiful high-low coordination!" Barkley shook his head in admiration.

"Yes, both Yao and Kobe pass the ball well." Kenny Smith laughed.

"Yao is really strong in the high post, he can pick and roll, he can shoot high jumpers, he can roll down, he has the highest vision, he has good passing awareness and passing skills, his tactics are very important, he is the Lakers' on-court Tactical core." Barkley said.

"Yes, Yao is now like Chris Webber in the peak period of the Kings. He is the core of the Lakers' tactics and the axis of offense."

Kenny Smith laughed.

Sun attack.

Li Ba restrained Dayao at the basket, and Kurt Thomas and Barbosa played pick-and-roll tactics at high positions.

Barbosa breaks through and enters the paint.

The Lakers are also in the zone defense. At this time, Odom switched to Barbosa, who suddenly passed back.

High post, Kurt Thomas catches the ball and misses Smush Parker.

"brush!"

CIC hit.

57 flat.

"Kurt Thomas' mid-range shot is his best and only offensive method. He can even take a step out from the high post and pull to the top of the arc to shoot. It's a pity that he hasn't had enough in all previous teams. The tactical status of the player, the number of shots is not enough, which affects his scoring."

Kenny Smith said.

"The Suns' high-post pick-and-roll tactics are good, making full use of Kurt Thomas' mid-range shooting ability. I think Frank is right. The current Suns play one inside and four outside tactics, which is a bit early. Marion and their mid-range shots are good. But the three points are not consistent enough."

Buckley said.

The Lakers attack.

After Dayao took the ball this time, Devin George immediately cut to the basket from the right wing, and Kobe made another cut to the basket from the left wing.

Double cut!

At this moment, Li Ba was fully focused, and he had to react as quickly as possible.

In addition, he put another lock on Kobe.

At this time Dayao passed the ball.

Li Ba turned around instantly.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the paint area of ​​the Suns to see how Li Ba defended the ball.

Devin George just cut into the paint area, suddenly stopped, and reached out to stop Marion outside.

At the same time, Kobe took advantage of the faster cutting speed, dropped the slightly slower Battier, jumped up facing the ball, and grabbed the falling basketball with both hands.

At this moment, Li Ba also jumped up, stretched his right arm, and drew his right hand towards the basketball.

"Snapped!"

When Kobe saw Li Ba's return to defense, he just caught the ball and was about to turn the ball back, but he was sent flying by Li Ba's palm with a slap.

"Yeah, the Hammer is still the king of the paint. He single-handedly defended the Yao-Ke combination! He killed Kobe! He brutally killed Kobe..."

The Suns commentator roared excitedly.

"Yeah..."

On the sidelines, Liu Yifei shook her little hand to cheer for Li Ba, attracting CCTV cameras to focus on her for at least five seconds.

"Falling Kobe, you let me down, today I will reward you with 10 hats!" Li Ba excitedly sprayed at Kobe.

"Come on then." Kobe shot back with his eyes wide open.

Next, the Lakers continued to attack with 12 seconds left.

Smush Parker got the ball, Yao set up in the high post and extended his hand.

Seeing Dayao's request, Li Ba didn't stick close to him, nor interfered. He let him go and let him ask for the ball.

Dayao faced the outside to catch the ball, immediately turned around and leaned back, and shot.

But at the moment when he turned around and jumped, Li Bashang took a step forward and jumped with all his strength.
