NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1009 Unexpected Results
But at this time, the unguarded Tony Allen made a back cut, broke into the paint, and rushed to the basket.

Artest saw it and immediately turned back to defend.

But at this moment, Li Ba held the ball with one hand and suddenly broke through for the second time.

This time, his breakthrough direction was Artest's side, he turned around, followed Artest and rushed to Duncan.

Duncan didn't expect that Li Ba would go to Artest's side. There was a problem with his positioning and he couldn't keep up, allowing Li Ba to break through successfully.

Artest heard the friction of the sneakers behind him, knew something was wrong, and turned around immediately.

But at this moment, with a bang, Li Ba deliberately bumped into Asster's body. When the latter turned around, he lost his footing and fell directly.

And Li Ba rushed past Artest, and after a step, he hung directly on the basket, and with a bang, the Lakers' basket exploded.

0:2, the Suns lead.

Zhang Lili saw this and said: "This tactic, let the hammer go up to leave room for Tony Allen's cut. Go in, the Hammers are blocked by Duncan and Artest, and there is no way to guarantee offensive rebounds."

"So Tony Allen's cut is to get Artela back and help the Hammers break through the double-team. Attacking is not the primary purpose." Yu Jiadao.

"He can also directly set the pick-and-roll for the hammer." Xu Jicheng said.

The Lakers attacked and Parker advanced to the frontcourt.

Duncan played in the low post on the left wing and under the basket, defended by Li Ba.

Dayao is in the high position, facing the UAE.

There is Kobe on the right wing, Artest on the right wing, and no one on the left wing.

"Don't take off easily, and then shoot the ball at the moment of his shot, you can do it. Just interfere with him with your hand, so that his shot can't be too smooth..."

Li Ba instructed Ah Lian how to defend Dayao in the low position.

In this game, Li Ba didn't want to win at all. He didn't even think about winning the Lakers during the entire regular season. He just wanted to use these opportunities to grind out the UAE.As long as the UAE can defend Dayao, the Suns will have hope in the playoffs.

Last season, Marion couldn't defend against Duncan and Dayao, so he played passively, while A Lian was ten centimeters taller than Marion, and his jumping was also very good, but his bounce speed was not as good as Marion's, so he had a greater defensive advantage .

As for the Allianz defense against Dayao, all he needs to do is reduce Dayao's shooting percentage. He can control the rebounds in the backcourt when he is in the low post, and Duncan can't beat him at all.

The ball was really blocked by the United Arab Emirates. Yao turned around and missed a jumper. Li Ba grabbed the rebound and the Suns attacked.

Rondo pushed to the top of the arc, at this time Li Ba reached the high position again, surrounded by Artest and Duncan.

After Rondo passed to Li Ba, he suddenly started, bypassing Parker, and rushed into the paint from Li Ba and Duncan.

His action immediately attracted Duncan's defensive attention. Duncan immediately turned sideways, holding Li Ba with one hand, and was ready to return to the basket at any time.
At the same time, Tony Allen stood behind Artest and made an offensive screen pick-and-roll.

Li Ba received the ball, "seeing" Tony Allen move in place, immediately turned right, controlled the ball with his left hand, pressed Artest with his right hand, and broke through from Artest.

Artest wanted to turn around and defend, but bumped into Ato Allen and was blocked.

Li Ba broke into the paint, and Duncan immediately returned to the basket.

But at this time, Rondo, who rushed in first, made an offensive screen and blocked Duncan one step before the basket.

"boom!"

Li Ba successfully exploded the basket.

"Beautiful! This tactic is beautiful!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

"The two players who can only break through and score have made pick-and-roll screens, giving full play to their breakthrough ability and speed advantages, making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. This tactic is really beautifully designed!" Zhang Reasonable laughed.

Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "This tactic also brings out the hammer's ability to turn around and break through, but even without Tony Allen's pick-and-roll, I don't think Artest alone will be able to prevent his breakthrough."

"Tony..."

Phil Jackson yelled at Parker: "Don't let Rondo in, watch him."

Parker nodded and continued to advance with the ball.

"Others pay attention to grabbing rebounds, go in when attacking, don't wait outside." Jackson shouted to the others.

He played the Suns and played other teams with different attitudes. He was very busy and couldn't sit still.

Li Ba returns this season. Although the Suns are weaker than the Lakers on paper, he dare not underestimate Li Ba's strength and ability to lead the team. Moreover, the boss hopes that the team will successfully defend the title and build another dynasty, which also increases his pressure. , so he was very cautious when hitting the sun.

After the first quarter, 28:25, the Lakers led by 3 points.

Li Ba's main attack, the Suns' scoring can still keep up.

The Lakers strengthened their rebound control and implemented the kind of crowd tactics in the paint, so the number of shots did not take advantage.

Ah Lian's defense against Dayao is also not satisfactory. Dayao's high-post offense is very threatening, reaching as far as the three-point line, making it very difficult to defend.

In fact, in the Lakers, Yao has a very good mid-range and long-range shooting ability, high vision, and good passing ability. His tactical status is even higher than Duncan.

Especially against the Suns, Dayao can suppress Li Ba's outside defense ability in the low post, and his tactical position is more important.

In the second quarter, Li Ba didn't play, and the Lakers came off the bench. The two sides have a tacit understanding, and this game should be regarded as a tactical contest.

The Lakers' bench is notoriously poor. The salary of Kobe, Dayao, and Duncan alone exceeds 6000 million. How many stars are there on the table?

After halftime, the Suns caught up with the Lakers and overtook them by two points, 50:52.

In the second half, the Lakers took the lead in changing the lineup. Yao stepped down to the low post, and Duncan played one on the left and one on the right, playing a double-tower single-stack tactic.

But the Suns also immediately changed their tactics. When Yao was in the low post, he played a fast break and accelerated the transition between offense and defense, that is, the small ball style.

This is Dayao's life. Even Duncan can't keep up. The Suns frequently form a situation in the frontcourt where they play more and play less.

So the Lakers' twin-tower tactics stopped after 3 minutes, and these 3 minutes made the Lakers fall behind by 6 points.

However, the Lakers did not play the Twin Towers, but the Suns still played fast breaks, increasing the speed of offensive and defensive transitions.

If the Suns were the Knicks in the running and bombing period and could not guarantee rebounds, then this kind of speed increase would not be able to beat the Lakers, and the number of shots would not be enough.

But the Suns can guarantee rebounds. Even if the Lakers use the crowd tactics, they can only regain some rebounding disadvantages, but not an advantage.

In the case of guaranteed rebounds, the Suns dragged Dayao and Duncan out of breath through quick offense and defense, and also shattered the Lakers' defense.

At the same time, when playing fast breaks on the offensive end, on the defensive end, under the leadership of Li Ba, the Suns implemented pressing tactics, forcing the Lakers to speed up, which increased the physical consumption of Dayao and Duncan, and the Lakers made mistakes. Li Ba sent 4 steals in a single quarter.

After the third quarter, 72:87, the Suns led by 15 points.

The results of the third quarter were beyond everyone's expectations.
