NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1342

The Lakers attack.

Mike Brown stared at the paint area. If the Lakers want to win the Suns, they must contain the hammer inside, preventing the most powerful defender in history from going out to help defend the Lakers' outside line, and then shoot outside.

In the four regular season games this season, Howard and the UAE are responsible for assisting the defense of the Hammers, putting Nene or Garnett, and then still blasting the Suns from the outside.

In the playoffs, he still uses this tactic.

Li Ba moved below the free throw line, followed by Ah Lian and Howard, and Garnett moved around the basket.

When Garnett was young, he was very strong in defense and defense, and he could even defend to the three-point line, but now it is impossible, and his legs are slow. Because Garnett has no way to double-team the outside ball holder, the powerful Lakers can attack wantonly from the outside.

Paul came to the top of the arc, and as soon as he arrived, Harden immediately rushed up, and it was a close-fitting press.

At this moment, Li Ba also bypassed Ah Lian in front and rushed to the top of the arc.

At the same time, Garnett, who was active below, blocked Howard. If Paul can pass the ball in at this time, he will be the last defense of the Suns.

Paul failed to get the ball out in time. When Harden was close to him, he immediately pulled the ball and retreated to avoid the opponent's press. At this time, he also noticed Li Ba's help defense.

Immediately after seeing Li Ba's assisting defense, Paul immediately turned his attention to Howard in the paint, so he saw Garnett again.

With Garnett at the back, with Howard's skills, the biggest possibility is that he can't make the shot, or is double-teamed by the Hammers, so Paul didn't pass the ball in immediately.

He wasted the opportunity to play the ball at the first time, and at this time Harden went up to press again, finally creating a chance for Li Ba's double-team.

Harden's pressing position is exquisite, mainly blocking the position between the front and Paul and the right wing, which can cut off the passing route between Paul, the basket and Kobe on the right wing.

Paul gave up the first shot. After he dodged Harden's second press, he found that the passing route with Kobe was cut off, so he had to choose to pass the ball to Tony Allen on the left wing, intending to make a transition first, and then Get the ball back.

But at this moment, Li Ba's double-team came. At the moment of Paul's pass, he cut in with a big hand and completed the steal.

No one could stop Li Ba from this kind of fast break, which was only four or five meters away from the center line. Even Kobe on the right wing couldn't keep up. After Paul turned around, Li Ba threw him two or three steps away.

After Li Ba dribbled the ball twice, he rushed into the paint, flew up, dunked his arms and smashed the basket, and with a bang, the Lakers' basket sank two feet.

5:0, the Suns lead away.

Barkley yelled: "The Suns' defense is too active. It is a level higher than the regular season's defensive intensity. The Lakers must be mentally prepared. This is not a regular season Suns team. This is a playoff team." Suns."

"The Lakers need to sound the alarm, don't get obsessed with winning all four games in the regular season, now it's the playoffs, it's the playoffs."

exclaimed Kenny Smith.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe asked for the ball after halftime.

Compared with Harden, George Hill's defensive attitude and defensive basic skills are higher than the former. He is a true defensive guard. When Kobe got the ball, he immediately pushed forward.

But it's not close, because Kobe is still two steps away from the three-point line at this time, and the possibility of shooting is not very high. Anti-cast.

But Kobe's character is the opposite. If you dare to let go, he dares to shoot. He shot a three-pointer just two steps from the three-point line.

"Oh, super long three-pointer, really hit it?" Zhang Lili shouted in surprise.

"It means his hands are very hot tonight!" Yu Jia said.

The Suns attacked and Ganetra went outside.

The Lakers still implemented the tactic of playing against the Suns in the regular season, double-teaming Li Ba on both ends of the offense and defense, and playing the fourth position.

The [-]th position of the Suns has no three-pointers, and Nene is not very good at mid-range shots, only in the early [-]s. Only Garnett's mid-range shots are not bad.

But Garnett's peak period did not have that kind of powerful scoring explosive power. The highest score in the regular season of his career was 47 points, and there were only 40 times when he scored more than 4 points. The highest score in the playoffs was only 35 points, and only 30 times.

This is also the reason why the Lakers dare to let Garnett go. As long as Li Ba's outside defense is limited and the Lakers get singles opportunities from the outside, even if Garnett is released, he will not be able to kill the Lakers by himself.

This tactic allowed the Lakers to win all 4 games against the Suns in the regular season.

Garnett got the ball in two steps from the right-wing three-point line, took an open shot, and hit a goal.

Mike Brown noticed a problem at this time. The Suns' starting small forward is not Parsons, but Jimmy Butler, who has poor scoring ability. Should he be shorted?

At this time, the back defense Kobe passed in front of him, and he quickly shouted: "Hey, Kobe, tell Tony to make him defend the fourth position."

"OK!" Kobe nodded.

The Lakers attack, the right wing, Kobe once again took the ball two steps from the three-point line, Hill still put one step to defend, he did not believe that Kobe could hit consecutive ultra-long three-pointers from this position.

This time Kobe really didn't make a shot, but broke through with the ball extremely quickly. When he broke through the three-point line, he suddenly made a sudden stop and made a fadeaway jumper, and hit another three-pointer.

7:6, the Lakers are only one point behind.

The Suns attacked, Tony Allen stood in front of Garnett, and Jimmy Butler on the left wing three-point line was empty.

This is Jimmy Butler's second season. The two-pointer and near-basket shooting are still not practiced. He only has a shooting percentage in the early 35s. The far two-pointer is barely 38%. The three-pointer is okay, 9%, and half of them The offense is solved in the paint area. The regular season data is 4+21, averaging [-] minutes per game, which is an improvement from the rookie season.

He got a pass from Harden and hesitated a bit. The Suns didn't make the playoffs last season. This was his first playoff game. He didn't dare to shoot even if there were open spots and wanted to pass it out.

"Shoot." Li Ba roared.

Hearing the voice of the boss, Jimmy Butler was alert and quickly took off for a three-pointer.

This kind of shot, how can we talk about the hit rate, he made a three-point shot and fell directly out of the bottom line.

"Haha..." Staples burst out laughing.

Anxious Jimmy Butler looked at the big hammer, and the latter shouted again: "What's the point of missing a ball? If you hesitate next time, go down and sit down."

"Yes, boss." Jimmy Butler breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jimmy, get closer to the paint next time, or give me a pick-and-roll, or get the ball and go straight in, or attract the defense and pass the ball to me."

Li Ba followed up and exhorted.

"Understood, boss." Butler quickly replied.
