Chapter 883
In two consecutive games, especially against the Mavericks, Li Ba's performance was mediocre, which gave the entire league an opportunity. Through the crowd tactics on the offensive end, it is indeed possible to limit Li Ba's ability to assist defense on the defensive end.

Of course, this tactic also has limitations. Your outside line must be good. Otherwise, your inside line will be full of people and you will not be able to break through the outside line. up.

At the season press conference, the reporter asked Li Ba a question.

"Iron Hammer, two dunks and two dunks were blocked tonight, and there were three turnovers, and 7 misses. Is it caused by the defense of Stoudemire and Dampier?"

An ESPN reporter asked.

Li Ba nodded and said, "Tonight's game, they were very dedicated and paid a lot of attention to the game. It really affected me. I have to admit that."

The reporter asked: "So will it continue? I mean if other teams pile up people in the paint on the offensive end, will your defensive performance be affected as in these two games?"

"Of course, when there are more people, I am not invisible, and my movement will definitely be affected. But things have two sides. If there is a good side, there will be a bad side. We will make adjustments next, grasp the On the bright side, I believe we will do it. We have enough tactics to break this tactic, and there is no unbreakable tactic in this world." Li Ba said.

After these two games, ESPN updated the latest probability prediction of winning.

The Lakers have lost two games recently, both in back-to-back games, with 20 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league. The probability of winning the championship has risen instead of falling, as high as 55%, an increase of 7 percentage points.

Sun 38%, ranking second.

The Grizzlies came from behind, with 36%, ranking third.

The Mavericks are 4th, 33%.

This is the top four in the Western Conference. The Nuggets, the original fifth team, have recently lost consecutive games with 13 wins and 9 losses.

The fifth place in the championship is the Heat, 30%.

During the offseason, it turned out that the Heat were the number one favorite to win the championship. Because there are too many strong teams in the Western Conference, it is believed that the Heat have an advantage in waiting for work. However, after being double-killed by the Suns, the market has plummeted.

The Suns, because of the game between the Heat and the Mavericks, the chances of winning the championship have been reduced.

ESPN explained the changes in the chances of the Lakers and the Suns winning the championship, saying: "The Lakers and the Suns cannot meet in the first round. If one of the two teams wins the first place in the regular season, then the other will be the fourth in the playoffs." , they will meet in the second round.

In our opinion, the second round of this season's playoffs will be the finals ahead of schedule.Whoever enters the Western Conference finals will have a chance of winning the championship as high as [-]%.

Then the Lakers play against the Suns. According to the recent tactics of the Heat and the Mavericks, Duncan and Artest can limit the defense of the Hammers on the offensive end, and Yao and Kobe shot at the edge of the paint. The Suns will not be able to prevent the Lakers from scoring.

On the offensive end of the Suns, their three-pointers are not stable, especially the Lakers have top defensive players such as Kobe and Artest on the outside. They can keep a close eye on Battier and Ginobili. Once the ball tactics can't empty the Lakers, the Lakers must return to the basket from the outside and double-team the hammer to weaken his offensive efficiency.

At the same time, the Suns lost the opportunity to fast break, so they can only be forced to play three-pointers to empty the opponent, so as to ensure offensive rebounds, but the offensive efficiency will also be reduced, and they will fall into a vicious circle.

We believe that as long as the Lakers copy the tactics of the Heat and the Mavericks, the probability of winning the Suns is as high as 6%, and this is why we increase and decrease the probability of the Lakers and the Suns winning the championship. "

The Suns lost, and Li Ba's performance was lower than before. Coupled with ESPN's statement, the public's expectations for the Suns' dynasty defense began to decrease.

Li Ba accepted ESPN's telephone interview, he said: "As for your guesses on the probability of winning, I can only say that it is very bad, ESPN has not shown professional quality, and you have exaggerated that tactic too much.

Actually, could it really limit me?Is there no tactic to crack?It is impossible to think about it.I say to you, you are wasting the public's trust in you, you are destroying your brand. "

"Three points, three points, practice!"

In the Suns training facility, Frank yelled at Battier and the others.

Playing against the Mavericks, the outside feel is not good, the three-point shooting rate is only 29%, which is too low, the outside line did not complete the task of pulling the Mavericks, and Li Ba was double-teamed by many people at the basket. This is a loss the most important reason.

Frank stared at Rondo. The rookie performed well, but he didn't shoot.

Tony Allen didn't shoot the ball either, which is what annoyed him.

Kevin Martin, who had a three-pointer, didn't defend, which is also what annoyed him.

The assistant coach Taro said on the side: "Frank, it seems that there is only one inside and four outside, so we can only hit it properly."

Frank nodded, frowned and said, "I can't find the most balanced point guard on both offensive and defensive ends. The winner is the best."

"Rajon, be bold when passing the ball to the Hammer. Don't care if he can see you, don't care if he notices you. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, it's not your fault."

He yelled at Rondo.

After training, Frank called Li Ba to discuss tactics with the coaching staff.

On December 2006, 12, the Suns played against the Lakers at home.

This is a Christmas battle specially arranged by the alliance, and the attention is extremely high.

Prior to this, the Suns won 4 games in a row, 22 wins and 4 losses, second in the West.

The Lakers are 23 wins and 3 losses, ranking first in the league.

The records of the two teams are very close now, because they are both in the same division. Whoever wins No.1 in the Pacific Division will not only have home court advantage when they meet, but also can directly squeeze No.2 to the fourth place in the playoffs, so whoever They dare not relax.

The Suns lost the last game, and the Suns are determined to win this game.

The two teams have 4 games to play in the regular season, and each game is very important. Once the winning percentage of the two teams is the same, the relationship between each other's winning or losing is of great importance.

In this way, it will be a test of the depth of the lineups of both sides. If the depth is not enough, the main players will fall into a fatigued battle. Even if they win the first place in the division, the gains may not be worth the losses.

On the 24th, the Suns came to Los Angeles. Dayao, Daba and Kobe treated guests.

"Congratulations, Hammer, there is finally a tactic that can limit you." Kobe said excitedly.

"Your brain is broken. Is this a new tactic? The Spurs used it in my rookie season, and we were also eliminated. You should stop listening to the media, you will be limped."

Li Ba said angrily.

Kobe was startled, thought for a while and asked, "How did you do it at that time?"

Li Ba said: "Do you think I will make so many mistakes in the entire series, and be shot by a few shots every game? Do you think we will always miss shots from the outside?
Or do you think Nowitzki can explode so efficiently throughout the series?Can you blow out an entire series yourself?
Don't use the high scores from the waves to make up for it. It's useless. You can't beat us with a shooting percentage below [-]%, because you will lose on rebounds.My defense combined, that would give us at least ten more shots per game than you guys. "

Kobe's face froze. After thinking about it carefully, his expression became a little serious.

Dayao, who was relaxed at first, became serious.
