NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 184 You Are Good at Arithmetic

It is very difficult for Li Ba to defend against O'Neill's small hook, especially O'Neill's sideways hook, even if he is separated by O'Neill, he can't block it.

4 of the next 2 (excluding the third blocked goal), plus free throws, only scored 5 points.Adding the previous 7 points, he scored 12 points in the half quarter.

This score in half a quarter must be very high for individuals, but this is a score that concentrates most of the Lakers' ball possession, but it is not very high.

On the offensive end of Li Ba, O'Neal pushed him with all his strength. Because of his weight disadvantage, it was difficult for him to get close to the basket. Lyon carried out a three-point cooperation between the low post and the high post, and took two shots, but they all succeeded.

In general, in the direct contest between Li Ba and O'Neal, O'Neal is undoubtedly stronger in offense, and it is not at 01:30.He doesn't need to cooperate, he can score points on Li Ba's head by himself.

As for Li Ba, after O'Neal worked hard on the defensive end, it was difficult for him to score, and naturally he couldn't score points, so he had to cooperate with others.

But on the defensive end, Li Ba is still stronger.

Of course, this is the reason why the functions of the two are different, one is an offensive center and the other is a defensive center.

But for the two teams as a whole, because Li Ba is always under the basket, he has strengthened the control of rebounds, which has a more favorable impact on the Suns.

On the defensive end, because he is closer to the basket and has a strong control over the backcourt rebounds, the Lakers rarely get a second chance to attack.

On the offensive end, he didn't play hard in the back and stayed at the basket more, so his control over offensive rebounds was equally strong.

Adding up the offensive and defensive ends, because both teams played under the basket, the rebounds under the basket accounted for the vast majority. In half a quarter, he actually grabbed 7 rebounds again, with as many as 3 offensive rebounds.Compared with the total number of rebounds, the Suns had 9 in the half quarter, and the Lakers had only 4.

In this way, the Suns took 5 more shots than the Lakers in terms of rebounds alone.

In the 7th minute of the fourth quarter, when the Lakers called a timeout again, 113:103, the point difference was pulled to 10 points, and the Suns took the lead away.

"The Hammer's control of rebounds in this half of the quarter once again proves the saying, winning rebounds wins the game."

Zhang Li laughed.

"Not bad, as long as the shooting percentage is not too rubbish, with so many shots, you can't lose even if you want to. Teacher Zhang, the hammer is really good at rebounding!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

"The sense of smell, the natural sense of smell, he knows where the basketball is without looking, which makes his reaction much faster than other people."

Zhang Li laughed.

Frank walked back and forth excitedly in front of the bench, walked up to Li Ba's seat and said to him: "Iron Hammer, you are still right, you are still not good at the offensive end, you can't shoot from the outside, and you can go in with O'Neal on your shoulders. It’s very difficult, and then I will follow what you said, you will be the main defense, and you will cooperate with Stephen and Sean on the offensive end.”

On TNT, Barkley is analyzing the performance of both sides in this half of the quarter.

"O'Neal's performance on the offensive end was mediocre today. He didn't have the ball in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, he was all attacking. But in front of the flood control dam of the Hammer, his strong play was useless. He was blocked consecutively and made a small hook. The hand is too far away from the basket, and the hit rate is not high.

And because the rebounds were out of control, the Lakers didn't have a second chance to attack, but the Suns made consecutive second offenses.

In contrast to the Suns, the flood control dam of the Hammer played a decisive role.His control of rebounds on both ends of the offense and defense has been greatly reflected. In just half a quarter, the Suns took 5 more shots.Kenny, 5 more shots in half a quarter, what does that mean? "

Barkley threw the question to Kenny Smith.

"Represents the complete loss of control of the Lakers on the rebound." The latter replied without hesitation.

"Why is it out of control?" Barkley asked.

"Because they only had a marginal backup power forward, they couldn't grab rebounds; because O'Neal focused on offense in this half of the quarter, he didn't grab rebounds, and contributed little on the defensive end; because they had an opponent named Flood Dam, who only grabbed rebounds. Of course , the hammer and the block." Kenny Smith continued to complain.

"How many times has he been today?" Barkley asked curiously.

"Well, let me do the math. Kobe three times. O'Neal three times. The OK combination adds up, three plus three equals five, not...it's six times."

Kenny Smith said after counting with his fingers for two seconds.

"Yes, your arithmetic is good." Barkley praised sincerely.

The two are counting the number of blocks here, and all the Lakers fans in the audience are staring at them. After counting that posture, someone might rush down to attack them.

Phil Jackson is very helpless, the consequences of losing Karl Malone, facing the most rebounding hammer in the league today, his weakness is completely exposed.

He didn't say anything, he only explained to stabilize the players, improve the shooting rate, reduce the supply of rebounds, and then let Kobe shoot, let Onick contribute energy on the defensive end and protect the rebounds.

These words are a bit of a slap in the face, but there is no way, who knew that when O'Neal attacked, the Lakers' rebounds would be robbed like this?I haven't met the Suns before, and the problem of inside rebounding has not been so obvious.

After saying this, he approached general manager Kupchak and said, "Mitch, you've seen it all, we need a big guy who can grab rebounds."

Hearing this sentence, the Lakers owner Jerry Buss next to him was a little embarrassed and regretted it very much.

"Jerry, I don't want the hammer anymore. Give us Sean Marion. You can pick whoever you want." After Phil Jackson left, Kupchak said to Colangelo.

"Mitch, we don't know where we're going to get the [-] yet. Give you guys Sean and we go win the lottery and you win the championship? Or, I give you Sean Marion and Joe Johnson , You give me Kobe? Their salary can match."

Colangelo complained.

"Jerry, the shark is not old yet, why don't you think about it?" Ignoring this suggestion, Kupchak whispered in his ear.

"No, I think the hammer is better. He is so strong and can be used for at least 15 years." No need to think about it this time, Colangelo directly refused.

He had already decided in his heart that he would re-sign Frank's contract and give him a raise because he had brought the hammer.

The tyrant of the Heat called him a few days ago and wanted to exchange half the team for the Hammers. He gave Pat Riley a suggestion that he exchange half the team for the Sharks, which would be more reliable.

The timeout ended, the game resumed, and there were five and a half minutes left, and the Lakers had the ball.
