NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1315 Fighting the Lakers

At noon on the 11th, Kobe called Ah Lian, Paul, and Howard, and invited Li Ba to have lunch at the Xianbei Restaurant.

"Hammer, you have so many rookies, give us two." Kobe shouted when they met.

"What are you talking to me about? If you want a deal, let the management discuss it. I don't care about that." Li Ba said indifferently.

Even if he bought the team with Gao Yuanyuan, he doesn't plan to intervene in the management of the management team. Don't bother, that's not what he is good at.

Kobe really didn't talk about it. He thought Li Ba's backup rookie center was good, with strong rebounding ability, good personality, and a very aggressive look, unlike Howard the Happy Beast, who was happy when he lost.

"Brother Hammer, the Suns are very fierce this season, and they have won 9 consecutive victories." Ah Lian laughed.

"No way, the opponent is too weak, and we are too strong." Li Ba said with a smile.

Kobe rolled his eyes and the bastard started blowing again.

"The Heat strengthened the [-]th position, and that fool of the Jazz gave Millsap to the Heat, Hammer, what do you think?" he asked.

Li Ba smiled and said, "If you ask me what I think, I'll tell you, don't talk about Millsap, even if the Heat reinforce a top Duncan, it's useless."

"You will die if you don't blow it?" Kobe said angrily.

"Hammer, when will our restaurant go public?" Howard is not interested in talking about the game, he only cares about this, he is a little short of money recently.

"Under planning, next year." Li Ba said.

"Oh, that's great." Howard exclaimed excitedly.

On the 12th, before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Suns: Li Ba, Nene, Caron Butler, George Hill, Harden.

Lakers: Howard, UAE, Antawn Jamison, Kobe, Paul.

During the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "In the Western Conference Finals last season, both Howard and Alian suffered injuries. In the end, the Lakers fell to the Thunder, but the Lakers lineup itself has problems."

Xu Jicheng nodded and said, "Yes, the Lakers are already struggling to get Howard."

Yu Jia said: "After Artest was traded, the Lakers' small forward position has not yet been strengthened. I think that even if the Lakers killed the Thunder last season, they would be overwhelmed by James at the third position when they met the Heat. "

Zhang Lili said: "This season, the Lakers did not hesitate to pay a high luxury tax for reinforcements and traded Jamison, but it is true that they are a bit weak at the third position."

Xu Jicheng said: "Just like the Suns, there are too many weak Heat at the third position."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "That can't be helped, the Heat's small forward, that is a historical small forward."

Zhang Lili said: "Now the Lakers have won eight consecutive victories, and the Suns have won nine consecutive victories. The outcome of this game is very important. It will determine who will occupy the first place in the Pacific region, the first place in the Western Conference, and the first place in the league."

Yu Jia said at this time: "Teachers, have you noticed that in the first eight games, Howard's state has obviously declined a lot compared to last season. It should be caused by injuries."

Zhang Lili said: "This is really true. He is also 27 years old, and he is almost 28 years old. According to his age, he is in his peak period, but the center player is too affected by injuries. In this state, if his body can't hold on, that is It plummeted."

Xu Jicheng continued: "And Howard is still a player who relies on his body to play. If he doesn't improve, I think the Lakers may trade him."

Zhang Lili said cheerfully: "From Howard's point of view, the Hammer is 30 years old and is still at the absolute peak. It has eight consecutive 5*5 games, four triple-doubles, and three quadruple-doubles. My God, this is incomparable. !"

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Ice Hammer's physique has gone to heaven, I think it will be fine for another ten years."

"Haha..." The three of them burst out laughing.

The game started, Li Ba and Howard jumped the ball.

The jumping beast lost, Li Ba touched the ball faster, and the Suns attacked.

The outside line is opened, the shooting ability of the inside is average, and he is active on the edge of the paint area, and Li Ba is active under the basket.

Because the strength is not as good as Li Ba, Howard adopts the method of going around the front, while the UAE defends inside and keeps assisting Li Ba at all times.

At this time, Li Ba suddenly came out from the basket and asked for the ball.

Howard quickly followed and prevented Li Ba from taking the ball.

At this time, Li Ba suddenly turned around and ran back. At this moment, Harden passed the ball to the basket.

It turned out that this was a tactic of the Suns, first pulling Howard out of the basket, and then Li Ba used a faster turn to get back to the basket.

"boom!"

With a one-armed alley-oop, Li Ba slammed into the Lakers' basket.

"This is a beautiful combination, making full use of the hammer's BUG-like movement ability under the basket!" Zhang Reasonable praised.

"Dwight, don't be too far away from the basket when following the defense. The Hammers don't shoot many shots and focus on protecting the basket." Lakers coach Mike Brown roared.

The Lakers attack, Howard defends the basket, and the rest pull away.

Holding the ball on the right wing, Paul first broke through Harden at a fast speed, then suddenly slowed down. Under the control of the fast and slow rhythm, he shook Harden away, and then made a three-pointer and hit a goal.

"This is Paul's specialty. He changes speed very well when he is in possession of the ball, and he can often get room for shots." Zhang Lili said.

"Paul, Irving, and Iverson have different styles, and each has its own characteristics. The same thing, they can't get into the paint area guarded by the Hammers, they can only make jump shots from outside." Yu Jia laughed.

Having said that, the three laughed again.

"Comparing the lineups of the two teams, the Suns are still much weaker on the outside, and the third position is similar, very weak. The combination of Kobe and Paul may beat the combination of Harden and George Hill regardless of offense and defense." Zhang Lili said.

"If the outside line breaks out, the Lakers may win, but at most the Lakers have an advantage in the regular season. As long as they enter the playoffs, the Suns will have the advantage in the series." Xu Jicheng said.

"Yes, it is impossible to break out a series by playing with the touch. As long as the league does not introduce that kind of body hair-level foul rule, then in the playoffs, once the defensive strength comes up, the outside shooting rate will definitely be affected. The advantage will be highlighted.”

Zhang Lili nodded and smiled.

The Suns attacked, Harden made a three-pointer and missed.

Howard defended around the front and was in a disadvantageous position for rebounding, but was stuck outside by Li Ba.

Li Ba's two iron arms stretched left and right, and roots took root under his feet. Howard couldn't push, squeeze, or go around. He could only watch helplessly as the former grabbed the rebound.

"Beautiful, the hammer grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked successfully." Yu Jia shouted.

"This is the weakness of the defense around the front, and the rebound control is weakened. As a defensive side, you can choose to go around the front when you are at both ends of the low post and away from the basket, but if you are defending under the basket, you don't want to Rebound." Zhang Lili complained.

"The Lakers themselves are at a disadvantage in rebounding when facing the Suns. If the monsters go around, the rebounding will be even worse." Xu Jicheng said.
