NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1213
This time Li Ba's position was very deep, so Artest followed, and after the former entered the frontcourt, he blocked Li Ba.

But Li Ba first slowed down, then suddenly accelerated and changed direction. Artest's feet didn't keep up at all, and he was directly shaken to the other side.

Li Ba entered the paint with the ball, and Kobe blocked it with gritted teeth, but the former did not attack, but gave it to Ray Allen.

"Shh!"

Ray Allen made a three-pointer and hit a goal.

0:8, the Suns lead.

There was a problem with the offense, and the Lakers called a timeout.

Barkley analyzed: "Obviously, the Suns have put their minds on the defensive end. The Lakers have used this kind of bottom line breakthrough offense for several consecutive games. The Suns are already prepared."

Kenny Smith said: "The Suns' defensive coordination in the paint area is quite good. Coupled with the play of the hammer, the Lakers have fallen into a point where the offense is weak. The Lakers want to score. If they continue to break through the inside, they must use more offense. Screens, more passes, not this easy baseline drive."

Back from the timeout, the Lakers attack.

Parker holds the ball at the top of the key, Bryant is on the right-wing three-point line, and Artest is on the left-wing three-point line.

This time Duncan and Gasol no longer mentioned below the free throw line, but pulled left and right to the low position of the two wings.

This also opened up Li Ba and Ah Lian, exposing the Suns' basket to the firepower of the Lakers.

At this time, Parker started to break through with the ball, breaking directly from the top of the arc, instead of breaking through from the right wing, which he is best at.

At the same time, Kobe quickly moved to the top of the arc.

Ah Lian did not move, still guarding against Gasol, while Li Ba moved one step to the basket and released Duncan two steps.

Parker didn't attack, but suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Li Ba.

Li Ba took a step to the left of the basket. He saw Parker rushing, and at the same time saw Kobe kill from the top of the arc, so he knew that Parker's ball would definitely be given to Kobe.

Sure enough, Parker rushed in front of Li Ba, turned around and stopped, and the ball was passed to Kobe.

Li Ba "saw" the moment the ball was passed to Kobe, and began to react: he turned around and bypassed Parker in front of him.

Three meters directly in front of the basket, which is the next step from the free throw line, Kobe received the ball, rushed to the basket, and took off one step later.

At this time, Li Ba bypassed Parker, took a step and then took off to block the shot.

Kobe's ability to stay in the air exploded. Facing Li Ba's block, he suddenly made a 360-degree turn in the air, bypassed Li Ba, and picked the basket immediately before landing.

Li Ba, who was heavier, landed first, and then took off for the second time at the fastest speed. He stretched his long arms across the basket and grabbed the ball with a snap.

"yeah!"

It was another most exciting block, which made the audience boil.

Kobe fell to the ground, and his wrists continued.

His shot of this ball was a little slower. If he shot it 0.1 seconds earlier, he would not have been blocked.

He felt that it was a wrong choice. He should have shot with his back to the basket instead of turning 360 degrees. It was a waste of time.

The Suns played a fast break again. After Li Ba passed the pass, he quickly made a quick pass. After reaching the top of the arc, Nash passed the ball in.

At this time, Artest defended from the flank, and Li Ba hit the basket from the front with the ball. The two collided in the air, like sparks hitting the earth. It was a bang, fell heavily on the floor, and then slipped out of the bottom line.

Li Ba was also crooked in the air, but with his speed and explosive power combined, his impact was much greater than that of Artest, and he still barely completed a one-handed dunk.

The referee blew the whistle, Artest thugs fouled, and Li Ba added a free throw.

After the baseline, Artest looked pained, he couldn't stand up holding his left foot.

"Damn!"

Kobe and Phil Jackson off the court swear at the same time.

The Lakers made a substitution and got Tony Allen.

Artest was taken off the court by Duncan and Gasol, and was sent back to the locker room directly from the bench.

Li Ba made an extra free throw, 0:11, and the Suns took the lead.

Artest's injury had a great impact on the Lakers, because he still has offensive ability and has three-pointers, but Tony Allen can only break through for a layup.

Next, Ray Allen emptied Tony Allen and double-teamed the ball holder with all his strength. The Lakers became more passive on the offensive end.

It wasn't until the 4th minute that the Lakers broke the scoring drought. Kobe didn't break through again, but made a three-pointer. At this time, the score was 3:15, and the Lakers trailed by 12 points.

Barkley shook his head and sighed: "The Lakers' state is not bad tonight, but the Suns' defense is too good. If this continues, the Lakers have no chance of winning."

Kenny Smith said: "Today, the Suns have a change, that is, the Hammer has resumed his fast break, which makes the Lakers very passive, both offensive and defensive ends."

For the rest of the first quarter, Bryant took over the ball.

In order to chase points, he chose to shoot outside.

The Lakers once again adopted a crowd tactic, with Kobe and Parker shooting from the outside, while the others scrambled for rebounds.

After one quarter, at 16:32, the Suns led by 16 points, almost doubling the score.

李坝单节4投4中，3罚2中，砍下10分7篮板3助攻4抢断4盖帽的数据，防守端表现很强势。

For the second time, Li Ba continued to play, forming an outside line with Carter and Dudley, and Haslem and the Polish Hammer formed an inside line.

For the Lakers, this is a game that cannot be lost. If they lose, the series is basically over, so only Duncan is not on the main team, and Lamar Odom is the top power forward. The other main players are on the court.

The Lakers still used crowd tactics on the offensive end at the beginning, but Li Ba immediately changed their defensive tactics and started defending directly from the source.

As a point guard, he has this convenience and can defend Parker.

Although Parker was faster, it still took a few tricks for him to bypass Li Ba.

After a chaotic battle, at the end of the half, at 45:53, the Suns still led by 8 points, and were pulled back by 9 points by the Lakers.

李坝这一节依然在攻防两端发力，并没有留力，8投6中，8罚5中，拿下17分3篮板3助攻3抢断2盖帽1失误1犯规的数据。

His steals and blocked shots were given to Parker, and Parker suffered enough, with 6 turnovers in a single quarter.

But Kobe also blasted Carter, scoring 18 points in a single quarter.

In addition, the Lakers have a great inside advantage and guaranteed rebounds, so even if Li Ba performed bravely in the second quarter, he still lost some points.

Zhang Lili said: "If the Suns play as they did in the previous game, it will be beneficial to put Ginobili on the bench. The bench lineup will be strong, but then the main lineup will be weak. The fast break will lack Ginobili. , should not be able to type out."

Duncan and Gasol each played half a quarter in the second quarter, Gasol came on and Duncan rested at the start of the third quarter.

The Suns played the main force, and Carter continued to be on the court.

In the third quarter, Li Ba didn't focus on attacking anymore, but focused on defending to save his energy.
