NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1345 Abandoned

Just as Paul took off, Li Ba took another step, and then jumped up. When he vacated to the highest point, he made a precise probe with his big hand and caught the ball.

"Beautiful!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

"This is the hammer at the fourth position. His range of activities can directly reach the three-point line, and his defensive area has completely covered all the offensive areas of the Lakers." Zhang rationally shouted excitedly.

At this time, Li Ba took advantage of the situation and rushed down. His fast attack on the three-point line was unstoppable, and under the powerful impact, no one dared to stop.

"boom!"

The Lakers' basket was smashed.

105;100, the Suns lead by 5 points.

"The Lakers are in trouble. They really have no one who can deal with the hammer at the [-]th position. The Hammer also played the [-]th position in the regular season, but the strange thing is that when he played the Lakers, he did not play the [-]th position. It should be intentional. Now the Lakers are very passive, and their offense must stay away from the three-point line, or pass to the weak side." Barkley said.

"It should be, Hammer is very cunning, his goal is only the playoffs, only the championship." Kenny Smith said.

Next, the Lakers called for a timeout.

The game restarted, and the Lakers stepped up the ball transfer on the strong and weak sides.

At the beginning, Tony Allen, who was emptied, was used as the strong side, allowing him to take the ball to attract Li Ba's defense.

But Li Ba is not a fool. Tony Allen's shooting is so bad, as long as he doesn't hit the paint with the ball, he doesn't pass at all, let him shoot, and he goes back to the paint to protect the rebound.

After playing a few times like this, with 2 minutes left, the Lakers found that it was not working. Tony Allen's open shot did not help the team get back. Instead, the point difference reached 9 points, because the Lakers had no rebounds. Li Ba and Drummond teamed up and completely controlled the rebound.

The Lakers called the last timeout and changed their tactics again. Paul held the ball on the strong side to attract Li Ba's defense, and then the ball was given to Kobe on the weak side, and Tony Allen was responsible for containing Li Ba.

This tactical change worked, allowing the Lakers to hit two goals in a row.

But at this time, the Suns played fast break tactics from the outside. When Li Ba was outside the paint, he made fast breaks himself. The Lakers were unstoppable, so the point difference still did not narrow.

With 42 seconds left in the game, 115:108, the Suns still led by 7 points.

At this time, Kobe completely took over the Lakers' possession of the ball, hitting a three-pointer and a long two-pointer in a row.

But Li Ba still directly launched an attack from the outside, and played two fast breaks, and the Lakers only narrowed the point difference by one point.

With 19 seconds left in the time, the Lakers adopted foul tactics and fouled the ball holder.

But unfortunately, this tactic still failed. In the end, 123:115, the Suns won the G1 game.

Kobe made 28 of 17 shots, 12 of 7 three-pointers, and 8 of 6 free throws. He scored 47 points and blasted the Suns' perimeter to scum. However, under Li Ba's strong defense, he still scored an empty game. .

李坝四节砍下51分27篮板6助攻10推断13盖帽3失误4犯规，50+20+4双+5*5的数据，堪比五双。

Zhang Lili said in the post-match commentary: "The victory of this G1 game shows the true strength of the Suns. It is definitely not the Suns that lost all four games against the Lakers in the regular season."

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "Hammer is really powerful in the fourth position! Actually, I think he will be stronger in the first position against the Lakers. I don't know what everyone thinks?"

Yu Jia said with a smile: "No one for the Lakers at position [-] can guard against him, and Tony Allen can't guard against Hammer at all."

Zhang Lili smiled and said, "It's not impossible for him to play number one for the entire series."

After the game, Li Ba accepted an on-site interview.

"Iron Hammer, the Suns lost four regular season games, but won the G1 game. Does this mean that the Suns did not do their best in the regular season?" A reporter asked.

"It can't be said that throughout the regular season, several young players in our team have improved, and they are getting stronger and stronger, while the average age of the Lakers is much older than us, and their physical fitness in the playoffs is not as good as ours. .” Li Ba said.

After answering a few questions, the on-site interview ended.

Not long after, Li Ba went to the post-match press conference again.

"Hammer, what do you think about Nike?" At the press conference, the first reporter asked.

Li Ba was stunned, but immediately said: "Nike, as a sponsor, turns its hands into clouds, turns its hands into rain, and acts recklessly in the league. They will regret it. I think Nike is trying to manipulate the league, and the league should stop it immediately. This kind of behavior, and even directly prohibits players from wearing sneakers and merchandise with Nike trademarks, otherwise it will make people think that Nike is the boss of the league."

His words caused a burst of exclamation at the scene. No one expected that Li Ba would suddenly shoot at Nike.

Li Ba didn't care about Nike, and before the reporter asked a question, he said: "I think other sports leagues and sports brands should join forces to stop Nike's behavior. They have crossed the line. If they are allowed to do this, sooner or later their hand will reach out to you. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the excited reporters began to ask questions one after another, without waiting for the flop.

Li Ba's attack on Nike at the press conference after the game immediately caused an uproar.

The next morning, Nike headquarters held a press conference in New York, denying everything and not admitting that Nike was involved in the public opinion storm.

Nike is still very strong, and most of the American media are on the opposite side of Li Ba, so those media immediately began to whitewash Nike.

But unfortunately, there is still a part of the media that Nike cannot influence. They are still reporting the news that Nike manipulates the NBA.

Nike was in a mess and immediately called a board meeting where Philip Knight, the company's founder, chairman and president, was under extreme pressure.

"It was reported by the media that Hammer personally told Kobe that if the league introduces rules restricting defense, then he will definitely quit the league. If he quits the league, how much impact will it have on Nike, Mr. Knight, before you implement the plan , have you considered this issue?"

"This plan must be stopped, we cannot afford to have the Hammers withdraw from the league."

Several directors attacked Philip Knight one after another.

Philip Knight was a bit devastated. These directors were his opponents in the company. He opposed them for the sake of opposition. He wished he could get rid of all these people, but unfortunately he didn't have the ability.

"It was he who made our plan fail, and he exposed Nike. He is a Chinese and should be a mole of our company..."

So, he threw out his scapegoat and pushed all the faults on Loughlin.

"What? It's over, I'm over! My ten years of hard work in the United States have been ruined! Damn Hammer, why do you want to retire? Why don't you stay in the league obediently? Why do you want to fight against Nike? Do it with your head down Is a dog bad?"

Loughlin was notified by the HR department that he was dismissed, and he was stunned. He felt abandoned by his master. Why can't such a big America accommodate him?
