NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 910 18 assists in a single game

At the beginning of the third quarter, the two sides resumed the starting lineup of the first quarter.

The Lakers attack.

Li Ba and Marion switched defenses.

Marion circled around to defend the high post Yao, and Li Ba was between the free throw line and the basket, maintaining a threat to the high post and protecting the basket.

It was the idea of ​​defensive coach Adams.

Use Marion's mobility to defend Dayao, with Li Ba below, Dayao can't get in, so he can only lift up.

And Marion is still in front, as long as Dayao lifts up, the former can double-team the top of the arc.

First ball, that's it.

When Parker saw that Marion was defending in front of Dayao, he wanted to pass back, but when he saw that Li Ba was behind Dayao, how could he dare to pass?

So Dayao can only lift the top of the arc and play pick-and-roll tactics.

Marion and Dayao mentioned the top of the arc together. At this time, Rondo suddenly put Parker on close defense and prevented him from passing the ball to Dayao.

The next moment, Marion immediately lost Dayao and began to double-team Parker.

Then everything went smoothly, and when the double-team was completed, Ginobili and Battier on the left and right wings also participated in the double-team.

Parker lost the ball very quickly, the Suns played a fast break, including Marion, the four quickly went down, playing more and less, and Ginobili made a layup.

59 flats.

In the next few minutes, the Suns continued to defend like this, and the Lakers were temporarily unable to respond accordingly.

In the 4th minute of the third quarter, 68:62, the Suns led by 6 points.

The Lakers called a long timeout.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers' offensive tactics changed again.

Dayao was no longer in the high position, so he pulled directly to the short left corner, more than two meters away from the paint area, and pressed Li Ba firmly to the low position on the left wing.

The rest of the Lakers opened up, either allowing Duncan to single Marion in the low post on the right wing, or allowing Kobe to attack on the right wing.

The distance is too far, and the Hammer's defense on the right wing is beyond reach.

This tactic made the sun helpless.

Li Ba tried to help defend the low post on the right wing, but Duncan split the ball in time. Yao still had a [-]% shooting rate at that distance, and scored consecutively in open situations.

And when Dayao made a shot, everyone in the Lakers immediately started rushing for rebounds, which also caused a headache for the Suns.

When the paint area was overcrowded, although Li Ba's protection of the backcourt rebounds was not completely out of control, he also lost a lot.

At the end of the third quarter, 84:92, the Suns trailed by 8 points.

Zhang Lili said: "This is the value of Dayao. Even Duncan couldn't suppress the hammer in the low position. Looking at it now, the Suns are hanging in the game."

Yu Jia said: "Although the Suns are behind, the Hammers will definitely not get a five-double in this game, but he has a lot of assists today."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Yes, he took over the ball and sent 13 assists in three quarters, which is rare in the center position."

In the fourth quarter, Frank replaced David Lee, let Marion go to the third position, and Battier went off, increasing the offensive ability and weakening the defense.

But this substitution did not change the disadvantage.

David Lee mainly attacks at the basket, but Duncan's favorite now is to defend at the basket, which can reduce his movement.

On the defensive end, David Lee is far less good than Marion, so the Suns' fourth position continues to be overwhelmed by Duncan.

At the end, 109:119, the Suns still lost this crucial game.Handed over the throne of the Pacific Division and the Western Conference, the first place in the league.

李坝全场36分钟，拿下24分21篮板18助攻7抢断4盖帽2失误2犯规的三双+双二十的数据。

Barkley said after the game: "The Suns lost on defense. The team's number of defenses can't keep up with the average number of last season, and there are very few double-teams. And the Lakers' scoring is very average, which makes it difficult for the Suns to defend.

Parker and Artest don't mention the five offensive points of the Lakers. The other three points all need to be double-teamed. Once the double-teaming is not possible, the Suns' defensive system will be broken. "

Kenny Smith said: "The Hammers control the Suns' possession of the ball. With such statistics, the Suns lost. Charles, do you think the Hammers are responsible?"

Barkley said disdainfully: "There are only two turnovers and 18 assists. What do you think he is responsible for such an assist ratio and such a performance? Go find a top point guard and see how many times they have sent 18 assists in their careers." Of? Kidd, Nash, Payton, Stockton?"

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "So far, Kidd has played 11 times with more than 18 assists, and the highest number of assists is 20 times.

Nash is also 11 times, the highest is 22 times.Payton has only one, just 18 assists.Stockton has more, a total of 71 performances with 18 or more assists, with a maximum of 28 assists. "

Barkley laughed: "So do you think he controlled the ball and was the reason for the loss? The Suns lost today on defense, on the strongest side."

Kenny Smith added: "But the defense, shouldn't the hammer be in charge?"

Barkley yelled strangely: "Why don't you think about how strong the Lakers' offense is? There are five players in the game, and it is impossible for the Hammer to defend against five players. This is a matter of lineup and tactics, not a matter of personal ability."

Kenny Smith laughed and said, "Okay, the joke was over, now let's do the interview."

On-site interview, although he lost the game, Li Ba was still transferred by reporters.

"Go over there, they're over there." Pointing to the Lakers, he said.

"Hammer, what does it mean to lose to the Lakers today?" The reporters refused to move away, and someone asked loudly.

"Three questions."

Li Ba made an agreement, and then asked: "We lost, which means we have to make changes. This is the role of the regular season. We need to pass these games and play the most suitable tactics in the subsequent series."

Another reporter asked: "Iron Hammer, the Lakers have returned to No. [-], so in the playoffs, the Suns are likely to rank No. [-]. They will play against the Mavericks or Grizzlies in the first round, and then face the Lakers in the second round..."

Li Ba raised his hand to signal, interrupted the reporter, and said: "If we are first in the playoffs and the Lakers are fourth, we will also meet in the second round, won't we?

So in fact, the only difference between us ranking first or fourth and fifth is that the opponents in the first round are different, and we will definitely meet the Lakers in the second round. "

As soon as this was said, the reporters were taken aback for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"The last one." Li Ba raised his right index finger.

Zhang Lili asked at this time: "Tie Hammer, if you don't get the first place in the playoffs, even if you win the second round against the Mavericks or Grizzlies, the physical consumption will definitely be greater than that of No. 8. Then the Suns will take over. Will you continue to overtake the Lakers and strive for the No. [-] position?"

Li Ba nodded briefly and said, "I will definitely chase."

He felt that Lao Zhang's question was useless, and if he didn't answer it like this, could it be that he didn't want to chase after him?If you can do it but you can't say it, you must say chase it.

In the middle of the night, Li Ba left the arena by car alone, instead of going back to the hotel, he went back to his home in Los Angeles.

There were too many away games this time, so the girl didn't come with her, but Liu Xiaoli has been managing the company here, so he wanted to come and visit.
