NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1200

The Suns attack.

Li Ba gestured to Nash, and then began to run towards the basket.

Duncan and Gasol followed, while cutting off the passing line.

At this time, Li Ba suddenly ran back, squeezed up from between Duncan and Gasol, and ran to the high position.

Duncan followed up and Gasol watched Li Ba's movements while staring at Ah Lian on the right wing.

At this time, the Arab League who was emptied quickly cut into the paint area, forcing Gasol to go up and block him.

At this time, Nash gave the ball to Li Ba in the high position. The latter turned around very quickly, broke through Duncan, and went to the basket.

Gasol returned to the defense, Li Ba jumped up first, and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.

4:4, the two tied.

Zhang Lili yelled: "This ball was played well. It made full use of the mobility of the Hammer and the United Arab League over Duncan and Gasol. After all, they are younger."

Xu Jicheng said: "This is the way to fight, using your own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses."

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson touched his chin.

The Suns have played the tactics just now, and the Lakers are not very effective in coping with it, because neither Duncan nor Gasol can defend Li Ba alone.

But if Li Ba is to be double-teamed around the clock, then Yi's point will be completely emptied, which is also very dangerous.

Yi is different from Artest in that he has a good air cutting ability. It is possible for Yi who is completely shorted to score [-] or [-] points in a game.

So what to do?

"Tony, keep an eye on your people."

Phil Jackson called out to Parker, who nodded.

The Lakers attacked, this time it was Kobe who broke through with the ball.

Ginobili's defense was stronger, and this time Parker did the pick-and-roll for Bryant.

Nash and Ginobili switched defenses, but Nash's ability to prevent pick-and-rolls was zero, and Kobe easily reached the flank with the ball.

It is better to break through along the bottom line, so that it can stay away from the supplementary defense of Alian and Li Ba above. If they want to go down to supplement the defense, then Duncan and Gasol will be empty.

This is a tactic that Phil Jackson racked his brains to come up with, targeting the defensive loopholes in the first position, and then letting Duncan and Gasol leave the low post to empty the Suns' basket.

In the past few seasons, the Lakers' breakthrough ability was useless, but this season, the Lakers faced the Suns, and there was no end to their breakthroughs.

The moment Kobe broke into the paint, A Lian, who was close to the right wing, went down to defend first.

He can't go down to make up the defense too early, or sooner or later, he can go down to make up the defense when he is in the position between Kobe and Gasol. If it is too early, Kobe can pass, and if it is too late, Kobe will go straight to the layup.

Li Ba watched Kobe break into the paint with cold eyes, and moved one step down, only one step away from the basket, just on the edge of the reasonable collision zone.

Kobe passed the defense of the United Arab Emirates, then passed the basket, and suddenly turned around and took off.

He didn't directly attack the basket, but after jumping, his body lay back as he continued to fly backwards.

The moment Kobe turned around, Li Ba stepped to Kobe's side, and then followed Kobe to take off.

But at this time, Kobe's hands holding the ball slammed on the floor, and with a bang, the ball passed to Duncan.

Duncan rushed down with Li Ba, received Kobe's ground pass, and made a layup with one step.

"Snapped!"

Ah Lian on the right side of the basket took off to block the shot and slapped the ball down.

"Beautiful!" Yu Jia exclaimed excitedly.

"Looking" at the position of the ball, Li Ba turned around and grabbed it casually, caught the ball in the air, and immediately threw it to Ginobili outside. The unguarded Ginobili immediately rushed down.

Parker failed to catch up, and Ginobili made a layup.

6:4, the Suns lead.

The Lakers attack.

Kobe didn't want Parker's pick-and-roll this time, and he made a sudden move to Manu Ginobili. He didn't go around the bottom line and went straight to the paint.

Gasol immediately withdrew to the right wing, in the opposite direction of Bryant's breakthrough, to make an offensive cover.

The UAE chose to defend against Gasol and handed over the paint to Li Ba.

Bryant and the UAE staggered past and reached the paint area.

The moment his sight was blocked by Ah Lian, Li Ba rushed towards him, and stood in front of him in just one step.

With a bang, Kobe bumped his head on Li Ba's body, and after rebounding, he sat down on the floor.

Li Ba casually caught Kobe's out-of-control ball and passed it to Ginobili outside.

The Suns played an outside fast break. Ginobili, Nash, and Ray Allen quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Only Tony Allen and Parker had the opportunity to return to the defense for the Lakers.

Ginobili advanced to the basket, encountered Tony Allen's defense change, and immediately passed the ball to Ray Allen, who made a three-point jumper.

9:4, the Suns lead.

"Kobe, play according to the tactical requirements." Phil Jackson shouted with some headaches.

Kobe, who had just returned to the center line, nodded and raised his right hand, indicating that the ball was his.

Just now he did not do as required, did not go around the bottom line, if he broke through the bottom line to the basket, then Li Ba's defense could not be so timely, because the distance is farther.

The reason why he didn't go around the bottom line was because he wanted to play one by himself, because if he went around the bottom line, Li Ba would definitely make up the defense. He didn't have a chance to play by himself, and he probably wanted to pass the ball to Duncan.

The Lakers attack.

This time Kobe made a breakthrough according to the tactical requirements. The UAE was pulled to the right wing by Gasol, and Li Ba defended.

At this time, Kobe rushed through the basket and gave the ball to Duncan. Duncan made a gesture to hit the basket, and the former turned upward at the same time.

Li Ba returned to the basket, Duncan passed back to Kobe who was behind him, and at the same time blocked in front of Li Ba, making an offensive screen for Kobe.

Bryant made a jump shot near the basket two meters below the free throw line and made a solid hit.

9:6, the Lakers trailed by 3 points.

Barkley explained: "This ball was played very patiently. Through many short-range passes and offensive screens, finally under the defense of the Hammers, I got an open chance to close the basket, which proves that this tactic can indeed break the Hammers. Defense in the paint."

Sun attack.

Li Ba moved around the basket, raising his right hand to make gestures.

Ah Lian, who was about to pull to the flank, immediately entered the paint area, made a pick-and-roll for Li Ba, and blocked Gasol.

At this time, Nash passed the ball in, Li Ba received the ball, and immediately hit Duncan hard.

"Snapped!"

Duncan can't defend Li Ba alone, so he can only choose to foul by thugs.

The referee whistled and Li Ba made two free throws.

"Just play like this. If Duncan and Gasol play one down, the Suns will definitely win." Zhang Reasonable shouted.

Next, Li Ba continued to beat Duncan under the basket.

The Lakers desperately double-teamed Li Ba, but UAE's offensive coverage was in place, and the quality of Gasol's double-teaming was not high, which made the Lakers' defense in trouble.

Phil Jackson frowned, because this kind of change was something the Suns didn't have in the regular season.

The Suns didn’t have this kind of offensive cover at the basket in the regular season. Once the Arab League was emptied, they always pulled out the open jumper, but now they gave up this open opportunity and chose to let Li Ba play hard at the basket. Instead, it made the Lakers more passive.
