NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1224 56 points, third in a single game in playoff history

During the break between rounds, on the TNT live broadcast, Barkley analyzed: "The first quarter of the game has a very clear positioning for the next three quarters. The Suns, I mean the Hammer, will definitely continue to attack the Mavericks. Insider.

And once the Mavericks fouled too much inside, in fact, Chandler fouled three times in a quarter is enough, and the Mavericks' inside defense is useless. At that time, the Suns will completely control the paint area on both ends of the offense and defense, and increase their shots. , The outside veterans can also easily play in, and the game has completely entered the rhythm of the Suns. "

Kenny Smith said: "I think that in the first half, the hammer will hit the inside, use the powerful killing ability to press the Mavericks' main inside and the substitute on the floor, and then break down the inside defense. In the second half, he will Go outside, go to Nowitzki."

"Yes, that's what he did against the Lakers. He beat Duncan and Gasol first, and then he stood in front of Kobe." Barkley laughed.

Kenny Smith suddenly changed the topic, and said: "Charles, we have talked about the small ball era for several seasons, but it seems that there is no momentum.

In fact, many teams in the league have already started to play small ball. They have increased their speed and increased their outside offense, especially the proportion of three-pointers has increased to a very important level.

However, several of the strongest teams with championship strength are all teams in traditional positional warfare. Why is this? "

Barkley was startled, thought for a while and said: "It's very simple, traditional teams must have the strongest inside line, so that they can play positional warfare.

They control the paint and control the rebounds, which prevents the small-ball team from getting enough shots.And you have to know that the small ball does not mean that all the offense is on the outside, that is impossible, at least half of the offense will still be launched in the paint.And now the strongest inside players are all on traditional teams, so small ball teams can't gain the upper hand. "

"I think the Suns will lose two veterans next season and trade a few young outsiders. I mean the outsiders with good goals, then the Suns will form a small-ball lineup."

Kenny Smith said.

"Yes, I agree with you. The Suns themselves have a small-ball style of play. Their fast break ability is very strong, and the offensive and defensive transitions are very fast. It's just that the fast break tactics this season are not very good. There are too many veterans. I can’t run anymore, I can’t run fast,” Barkley said.

The second quarter started, and in this quarter, Li Ba continued to play, accepted Shi's hand, and played the first position.

Chandler's physique is not good, his physical ability is not good, and he can't become a player who averages 10 minutes per game, which limits his upper limit. Coupled with too many fouls, he didn't play 1 minute in the second quarter.

Facing the Mavericks' substitute insider, Li Ba's powerful breakthrough ability and terrifying impact showed great destructive power.

In a single quarter, he caused a total of 7 fouls on the inside of the Mavericks' bench, made 10 of 8 shots, 10 of 6 free throws, and scored 22 points.

On the defensive end, he formed a very good defensive effect on Terry, which affected the offensive quality of the Mavericks, and often prevented the Mavericks' offense from launching smoothly, making mistakes again and again.

Nowitzki only rested for 3 minutes before he had to play to stabilize the situation.

As soon as he came on the field, Li Ba ignored Terry and switched defenses in front of him.

In this way, although the point guard has been liberated, the Mavericks' number one firepower has been sealed, and the offensive efficiency is still not very high.

At the end of halftime, the Mavericks only scored 17 points in one quarter, and at 43:60, the Suns led by 17 points, almost blowing up the Mavericks in one quarter.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the offense of the Suns was handed over to the outside line. Li Ba did not ask for the ball to attack, but focused on defense with all his strength, and only defended the paint area and was responsible for rebounding.

The Mavericks couldn't control the rebounds, and they shot 7 fewer shots in a single quarter than the Suns. The outside offense was affected by the number of shots. Even though Nowitzki's offensive efficiency is very high, he still can't achieve the effect of chasing points.

After three quarters, 70:87, the two teams drew in this quarter, and the Suns still led by 17 points.

Chandler played the first half of the third quarter, rested the second half, and played in the fourth.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Ba began to forcefully beat Chandler.

Chandler got a foul in the third quarter. With four fouls in his body, he was powerless to resist. The Mavericks' inside defense was useless. Li Ba and Ah Lian were allowed to get whatever they wanted, and they were completely blown away.

The point difference quickly widened to 25 points, and then in the 5th minute, Chandler made six fouls, and the Mavericks were completely finished inside, even without a single rebound, and the offense fell into the embarrassment of passive water.

Barkley shook his head and sighed: "The Mavericks no longer need to persist."

Kenny Smith quipped: "Charles, do you know what Michael Jordan is thinking at this moment?"

Barkley was startled, and turned a little annoyed into anger: "Kenny, why are you mentioning him at this time?"

"Because his thoughts are definitely opposite to yours. He will never give up, but you give up, so..." Kenny Smith couldn't continue, because Barkley was staring at him with murderous eyes.

"Actually, Kenny, you made a mistake just now. You said that the Hammers would defend Nowitzki in the second half, but he didn't. He continued to attack the Mavericks inside." Barkley said.

Kenny Smith shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Actually, whether it is the Lakers or the Mavericks, the Suns have the same tactical strategy, which is to first let the hammer destroy the opponent's inside.

The difference is that this time after the Hammers destroyed the opponent's inside line, they did not defend Nowitzki, but continued to dominate the paint area.

These are two different strategies, but both are correct.

Continue to dominate the inside, grab more rebounds, and use more shots to maintain your own scoring advantage; defending the opponent's outside arrows can directly stifle the opponent's scoring momentum. "

Barkley nodded and said: "This proves the ability of the hammer. He can adapt to various tactics, giving the Suns a lot of tactical options, and making it even more difficult for opponents to beat the Suns."

At the end, 90:120, the Suns won by 30 points.

李坝全场48分钟，24投21中，24罚14中，砍下56分24篮板3助攻4抢断6盖帽1失误2犯规的数据。

Compared with previous data, except for rebounds and points, there is nothing else.

But in terms of scoring, Li Ba broke his own scoring record in the playoffs, which was 49 points before.

At the same time, with 56 points, he also entered the top ten single-game scoring rankings in the history of the league playoffs, but directly reached the third position in history.

The top two, the second is Elgin Baylor's 61 points of the Lakers, created in 1962; the first is Jordan's 63 points, created in 1986.

These two records, there is a coincidence, the opponents are the Celtics.
