Chapter 1351
Kobe laughed angrily and said, "When the hammer breaks in, you can come out to defend. You have this opportunity."

"No, Kobe, I didn't, I was stuck with him." Howard laughed.

"Even if you can't squeeze him, you have every chance to bypass him, and you should do that." Bryant emphasized.

"I know what to do, Kobe, this is my business." Howard said a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, do you want me to mediate?" Mike Brown shouted angrily from the sidelines.

"Kobe and World of Warcraft are arguing. Are the Lakers fighting among themselves? They are one to two behind. This game can't be lost again. Don't they understand?"

Barkley said in surprise.

Kenny Smith complained: "The Lakers' locker room has always been a problem, from the OK period to now."

Li Ba made an extra free throw, 0:9, and the Suns led by 9 points at home.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe asked for the ball after halftime, and pulled it to the sideline on the right wing like Paul, away from Li Ba's defense area.

"Pay attention to the pass." Mike Brown yelled from the sidelines.

Li Ba heard it in his ears, what else did he not understand?The head coach of the Lakers must have reminded Kobe to pay attention to the passing of the strong and weak sides.

What the Lakers are afraid of in outside offense? Kobe and Paul are definitely not afraid of singles Harden and George Hill, the two rookies, but are afraid of his defense.

If he helps defend the strong side, then Kobe crosses to the weak side. If he doesn't help defend the strong side, then Kobe singles George Hill.

Moreover, after he judged that the Lakers' ball was on the weak side, he was afraid that he would return to the basket, and there was a high probability that he would make a long-range shot instead of entering the paint.

When Kobe and Paul are very wide apart, this really embarrasses him. He can't take the initiative to help defend the strong side, but can only defend in the high position.

At this moment, Paul moves without the ball, drops Harden, and cuts to the wing, and Kobe immediately retreats and throws the ball over.

Kobe’s retreat is not only to get rid of Hill, but also to avoid the high-post Li Ba. He is afraid that the ball will be cut off. A knife-like straight ball.

The moment Kobe passed the ball, Li Ba started, turned around and rushed towards Paul.

Kobe and Paul are very wide apart, which certainly makes it more difficult for him to defend outsiders, but it also increases the distance of the pass and allows him more time to defend.

Paul stretched out his hands to catch the ball. Out of the corner of his sight, he saw Li Ba's movement, but he had no second choice. The next step was George Hill. If he hesitated, the double-team would form. In an instant, he immediately jumped up and shot.

In the next instant, Li Ba threw himself two meters away, then flew up, stretched his right arm as far as he could, and pointed at the basketball flying into the air.

Paul throws the ball in his hand, his body is falling, when the wind comes from the right side, and then he sees a big hand pointing the ball he just threw.

Li Ba flew past Paul, stepped on the ground immediately, then turned around and took off without looking at it, just grabbed the falling basketball with his right hand in the air.

"yeah!"

The long-distance flying hat caused the audience to cheer thunderously, and countless palms began to shake.

Hill turned around and went down quickly, received a pass from Li Ba, sprinted to the frontcourt, slammed into the paint from the right elbow, and flew to the layup.

At this time, Kobe returned to the basket from the left wing and flew to block the shot.

"Snapped!"

The ball was fanned up.

"Ugh!"

The audience sighed.

When the ball fell, Kobe and Hill rushed to the edge of the baseline and were too late to get back, but Paul rushed to catch the ball.

At this time Li Ba rushed in one step slowly, it was too late, he stopped quickly, turned around, and quickly returned to defense.

Kobe and Paul rushed down quickly, and with their absolute speed, they broke into the frontcourt ahead of Li Ba and went straight to the paint.

Drummond and Howard have returned to the basket, and the latter, instead of doing offensive screens under the basket, has opened up a little distance and asked for the ball from Paul who has the ball.

At this time, Paul and Kobe entered the paint from the left and right elbows.

Paul had no intention of passing the ball to Howard at all, and rushed straight to Drummond, and when he was two steps away, he suddenly crossed to Kobe.

Drummond turned around and moved quickly. At this time, Kobe flew up after receiving the ball, facing the former with a dunk.

With a bang, the Suns backboard was smashed, and then the referee's whistle sounded.

"Ouch, Drummond committed two crimes, this is just the beginning." Zhang Li said anxiously.

"It's the same as Howard in the last game. It's difficult to play two fouls in the opening game." Yu Jia said.

Xu Jicheng said: "The rookie is still too inexperienced. He just slapped Kobe down and didn't give him a chance to play two plus one. Just now George Hill also had a problem with his layup. He was too anxious and the hammer was behind him. Should have watched it before the basket."

Before the free throw, Drummond went off the field and stepped on Garnett, and Li Ba returned to the fifth position.

Barkley analyzed: "If the hammer hits the center, the ability to defend the outside line will be much weaker. This will liberate the Lakers' outside line and benefit the Lakers."

Kenny Smith said: "The Lakers must not be careless. When the hammer hits the center, the outside defense is as good as it is, but it is not as strong as the fourth position. It can directly drive the Lakers' offense beyond the three-point line, even Kobe and Bryant. Paul had to pull to the sideline."

Barkley said with a smile: "But there are still great benefits. Now Kobe and Paul can enter the three-point line. As long as they don't get too close to the paint area, the shooting rate will increase a lot."

On the sidelines, Payton told Garnett to tell others to play inside offense from now on.

Kobe made an extra free throw, 3:9, and the Lakers were still 6 points behind.

Sun attack.

Garnett pulled away, and the UAE followed up.

Li Ba ran to the basket, Howard and Tony Allen defended in front, blocked the former under the basket, and double-teamed ahead of time.

At this time, Jimmy Butler made a pick-and-roll and blocked Howard in front of him. Li Ba immediately turned around, bypassed Howard, and came out to catch the ball.

Paul desperately blocked Harden's pass, but Harden passed it in anyway.

Li Ba received the ball, Howard squeezed Butler away and stepped up.

At this time, Li Ba dribbled the ball and arched, arching Howard's center of gravity, and then violently turned sideways, which was a one-armed dunk, smashing the Lakers' basket.

Howard's center of gravity was arched, and he didn't have time to take off to defend. Tony Allen was on the other side, and he could only watch.

At this time, the referee blew his whistle and pointed at Howard to block the foul.

"The Lakers beat Drummond down. The Hammer wants to beat Howard down. Both sides are eyeing each other's inside line." Zhang Lili laughed.

Li Ba missed an extra penalty, 3:11, and the Suns led by 8 points.

The Lakers attacked, Howard moved around the basket, and kept the hammer in the paint. After Kobe took the ball, he broke into the right wing and hit a mid-range shot.

5:11, the Lakers trailed by 6 points.
