NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 925 The G2 Battle Begins

At this time, Phil Jackson said to Duncan: "Tim, you and the Hammer played the most in the playoffs. How do you think you should play?"

Duncan didn't think much about it, he had been thinking about it for several years, and he immediately said: "On the offensive end, someone needs to stand him, block him, and make high-quality offensive screens.

I thought I'd give it a try, and Yao and I would take turns, with Ron playing power forward.

His height and tonnage, strength, and mobility are all suitable for the counter-hammer, and should be able to limit the hammer. "

Artest turned dark when he heard it, and asked me to confront that bastard, aren't you cheating on me?
Dayao nodded at this time and said: "The Suns are all small inside, and Ron is strong defensively, and he can indeed match up with the hammer. In this way, Tim and I will take turns to play, and our physical fitness will be better, and we will fight more efficiently."

Artest's face darkened even more.

Kobe spoke at this time, and he said: "I also think it can be played like this. We don't lack offensive players, what we lack is people who limit the hammer."

At this time, Dayao said again: "But we still have to consider, should we continue to suppress the hammer in the low position?"

Phil Jackson nodded. Yao was right. If he wasn't on the court, who would hold the hammer down low?

The meeting lasted for two hours before it ended. Before leaving, Kobe was stopped by Phil Jackson, and the two came to the latter's office.

"Kobe, if the inside can limit the hammer, I hope you can increase breakthroughs. We need higher efficiency to regain rebounds and other disadvantages."

"Phil, do you think Artest can limit the hammer? Can he still show his full strength in front of the hammer?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Try it. If it doesn't work, my suggestion is to attack one on the offensive end, and all the other four will go into the paint to grab rebounds. We have a high advantage inside, and we have to take advantage of it. On the defensive end, we can put one, ahead of time. Double-team the hammer, and then rush to grab defensive rebounds. Regardless of the defensive end, we use people to block the paint area, so that the hammer can't move. If he can't move, he can't grab rebounds, he can't help defense, and he can't move. Come on quickly."

"It's a good idea, and that's exactly what I'm thinking about."

That night, the Warriors tied the Jazz one-on-one, and the Cavaliers and Pistons also tied one-on-one.

The next day, on the night of the 10th, the Lakers and the Suns started the G2 game.

Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Suns: Li Ba, Marion, Battier, Ginobili, Rondo.

Lakers: Duncan, Artest, Luke Walton, Kobe, Parker.

When the list came out, the media were surprised.

Zhang Lili yelled in the live broadcast booth: "Are the Lakers trying to win with odds? But Artest is indeed more suitable than Duncan on the defensive end against Marion, but he is not good on the offensive end. He is likely to be defeated by Ma. Lyon is dead.

But I think the intention of the Lakers is not to use Artest to fight Marion, but to use him to fight against the hammer.

Indeed, from the perspective of strength and speed, Artest is a rare player in the league who has the opportunity to limit the hammer, and the Lakers still use their brains. "

Barkley also said in the live broadcast at this time: "Yao entered the bench lineup, which increased the offensive ability of the Lakers' bench lineup, which is an advantage.

On the downside, the Lakers can no longer keep the Hammers in the post when he's not on the court.I don't know if the Lakers have considered this, but the Lakers should. "

After 10 minutes, the game started.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..."

On the Suns bench, the unscrupulous shouts of the Suns sounded again.

Li Ba and Duncan jumped the ball, and the Suns attacked.

The Suns still opened up their tactics, and Li Ba dropped low, on the left wing.

Artest followed up and Duncan was pulled to the right wing by Marion.

"Sure enough, Artest is dealing with the hammer." Zhang Lili shouted.

At this time, Li Ba got the ball, and Marion on the weak side threw off Duncan and started an air cut.

But Bryant made a very active supplementary defense, preventing Marion from cutting into the paint smoothly.

Unfortunately, he was able to stop Duncan, but let Ginobili go.

In this kind of outside defense, Duncan doesn't have the style of inside defense at all, and he can't keep up with his feet.

At this time, Ginobili cut into the paint, Li Ba carried Artest to pass the ball, the former took the ball and rushed forward for a layup and made a hit.

Barkley shouted at this time: "How does Artest defend against the hammer? With his elbow or with his toughness? The hammer can be attacked and passed, and it's hard to defend. He can't defend at all."

The Lakers were attacking at this time, and Artestra went to the left wing, trying to pull Li Ba out of the paint, but how could he do it with his mid-range shot?

For example, Okur has the three-point ability, that is, he can pull Li Ba to the sideline of the paint area. Artest is not the kind of person who shoots quickly. Li Ba directly released him three steps and mentioned it below the left elbow area. , that position has a great defense threat to the outside line.

"It's not okay, Artest can't hold the hammer at all." Barkley shouted.

"Ron, go in and post him." Phil Jackson, who had been standing on the sidelines, shouted to Artest at this time.

So Artest ran back to the paint, made a defensive move on the offensive end, and stuck Li Ba.

At this time, the Lakers small forward Luke Walton also rushed into the paint, leading the opposing Battier to block between Li Ba and the basket.

"Huge crowd at the basket!" Yu Jia shouted.

At this time, the Lakers' offense started, the right wing was low, Duncan received the ball, turned down briefly, shook Marion, then turned up, took off at 45 degrees to hit the board, and hit a ball.

2 flats.

"The Lakers are right to use the crowd tactics on the offensive end. It can not only limit the defense of the Hammers, improve the shooting rate, but also increase the control of rebounds, killing three birds with one stone."

Zhang Lili shouted.

Sun attack.

Li Ba took the ball in the low post on the left wing, turned up and down, and then slid past Artest and rushed into the paint.

After Artest loosened his center of gravity, he hurriedly turned around and chased into the paint area, but he was already a step behind.

With a bang, Li Ba blew up the basket.

Phil Jackson shook his head. Turning around, taking the first step, and getting up were all too fast. It's really impossible to defend against it alone!

"The Suns have been playing the open tactic for a season. It didn't work at the beginning, but they have been playing forcibly. Now, as the outside line is getting better and better, and the coordination is getting better and better, this tactic has really come out."

Zhang Li laughed.

"Grind it out. The Hammer has too much advantage in the low position. If you don't play this tactic, you really can't live up to his advantage." Yu Jia laughed.

The Lakers attack.

Li Ba deliberately leaned low to the right wing to see if Artest would follow, or pulled to the left wing in the opposite direction.

Artest hesitated.

"Ron, follow!"

At this moment Phil Jackson shouted loudly.

"Luke Wharton brought Battier in again, and the back of the hammer was blocked. How to solve this?" Yu Jia scratched his head.
