Chapter 1142 Allen, give me the ball
The players returned to the bench, Kobe took the towel handed over by his teammate, and angrily fell on the bench.
"Damn it, that guy is too shameful!" After sitting down on the towel, he cursed at the Suns bench.
He made 4 of 3 shots in the opening game, and then he missed the ball. Kobe is now full of thoughts of wanting to duel with Li Ba.
As if sensing Kobe's gaze, Li Ba glanced this way and smiled at Kobe.
"Hammer, there is a kind of heads-up!"
Kobe stood up excitedly and shouted at Li Ba.
At this time, the fans behind turned their attention to the two of them.
Li Ba laughed, and said to Kobe, "Kobe, if you and I are singled out, then the Lakers will lose. How high do you think your shooting percentage is against my defense from the outside?"
"Oh!"
Out of frustration, Kobe threw himself on the seat.
"Kobe, calm down, we will find a solution." Phil Jackson said.
"So Phil, what are we going to do?" Bryant asked, staring at him.
"Push the ball safely to the frontcourt first, and everyone should not rush into the frontcourt, but respond in the backcourt. Then, we will fight for three-pointers," Phil Jackson said.
"Three points?"
Bryant thought of playing the ball and only lost by three points. If his shooting percentage could be better, he would have a chance to win.
Phil Jackson continued: "You and Parker shoot outside, the others go for rebounds, and at the same time bring defenders into the paint so they don't double-team the perimeter."
Kobe asked: "What if they keep double-teaming me?"
Phil Jackson said: "They advance safely to the frontcourt and make full use of the pick-and-roll screen to find opportunities for you. You have to repeatedly and patiently do the pick-and-roll, and you have the opportunity to shoot immediately."
In the second quarter, both of them were half main force and half substitute.
On the Lakers side, Kobe took Parker and Artest, plus two substitute insiders.
On the Sun's side, there are Li Ba + Gasol Jr., as well as Tony Allen, Iverson, and Grant Hill.
As soon as Kobe came on the court, Tony Allen leaned in. He was not double-teamed, and he was the only one.
Kobe breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Li Ba.
"Not satisfied? Then I will double-team?" Li Ba asked.
At this moment, Kobe really wanted to hit someone.
The game starts and the Lakers attack.
Parker advanced to the frontcourt, and Iverson defended him. He changed direction, went directly to the latter, and entered the paint from the top of the arc.
At the same time, Bryant moves quickly from the right-wing three-point line to the top of the arc.
At this time, Li Ba came up from a low position to make up the defense.
Parker quickly turned around with a top and passed the ball to the top of the arc.
Kobe rushed to the top of the arc, just as the ball was passed, he got up, swayed Tony Allen, then got up a second time, and shot a three-pointer.
"brush!"
Three point hit.
At 27:20, the Lakers trailed by 7 points at home.
Sun attack.
Iverson took the ball and came to the right-wing three-point line.
His defender wasn't Parker, the Lakers switched and Kobe was in front of him.
The two were in the golden generation at the same time in 96. One was the No. 13 pick and the other was the No. 13 pick in the first round. But until now, the difference is quite large. The No. [-] pick has become a substitute and is about to retire, while the No. [-] pick is still the leader of the Lakers. And the core, I have to say that sometimes the draft pick can't explain everything.
Li Ba was pressing the Lakers' inside substitute for the ball, and Duncan couldn't even carry him, let alone a substitute?
Iverson saw Li Ba's request for the ball, but he didn't give it to him. He wanted to prove himself that he could help the team score.
At this moment, Kobe made a move to grab the ball.
Iverson turned sideways to protect the ball, and then immediately turned around suddenly.
But Kobe's grabbing the ball was fake. At this time, he had already taken a step back. When Iverson turned around, he happened to hit Kobe, and Kobe fell down.
The referee whistled, Iverson made an offensive foul, and the ball was exchanged.
Li Ba glanced at Iverson, said nothing, and quickly returned to defense.
The Lakers attack.
Parker took the ball to the frontcourt, and Kobe on the right ran to the top of the arc and made a cross pick-and-roll.
The two staggered, Kobe continued to run to the left wing, Parker did the opposite.
The ball was in Kobe's hands, and Tony Allen and Hill immediately chose to double-team Kobe.
But Kobe didn't make a shot, but passed back to Parker.
Parker has reached [-] degrees to the right wing, catches the ball and immediately shoots a three-pointer and hits a goal.
Li Ba had already rushed out, but Parker shot so quickly that he didn't have time.
At 27:23, the Suns still led by 4 points.
Amid the cheers of the Lakers fans, the Lakers retreated quickly.
Iverson held the ball, Li Ba asked for the ball again under the basket, and shouted: "Allen, give it to me."
Iverson struggled for a while, he didn't want to give it.
The team's momentum to win the championship is unstoppable, and he needs a performance opportunity to prove that his ring is not a random one.
But in the end, he chose to pass the ball.
However, at this time, the three seconds were up, and Li Ba was leaving the paint. At this time, the ball arrived, and before he could catch the ball, the referee blew his whistle, and the three-second offense was violated, and the possession of the ball was exchanged.
"Allen, what are you thinking?" Payton shouted at Iverson off the court.
Li Ba shook his head at Payton. This is Iverson, who is his half-idol. Give him one more chance. If it is someone else, if he asks for the ball twice and refuses to give it, he will leave the field immediately.
It's not that he doesn't play for Iverson, but now it is obvious that the inside has a great advantage, why should he force the outside?
The Lakers attack.
Bryant runs on the right wing and suddenly runs out the wing.
Tony Allen followed closely, but Bryant ran a little out of receiver position.
Li Ba has a very clear judgment on the Lakers' current tactics. Obviously, they are all three-pointers. The Lakers want to avoid the most powerful insider of the Suns.
He got to the free throw line, eyeing Kobe and Parker.
"Allen, post him!" At this time, he shouted at Iverson.
Iverson defended Parker, who was holding the ball, and immediately took half a step after hearing this.
Parker immediately took a step back. At this time, he saw Kobe's running position, quickly took the ball with both hands, and pushed in Kobe's direction.
"Fake fax?"
Iverson quickly looked over there, no ball?He understood immediately.
When Parker made a fake pass, Li Ba had already taken the second step. At this time, he "saw" that the ball was not passed, so he immediately slowed down and changed direction, and took the third step to pounce on Parker.
Parker received the pass as soon as he passed, and then took off to shoot. At this time, Li Ba landed on the third step, and then jumped up.
"Snapped!"
Li Ba's position was still a little bit off. He didn't complete the catch, and the ball was slapped down and slapped towards the center line.
Kobe took advantage of the trend and rushed to the landing point, and Parker also turned and rushed over after landing, as did Li Ba and Iverson.
Kobe was the fastest under the trend, picked up the ball first, and immediately turned left, trying to break through Tony Allen behind him.
At this time Li Ba caught up and blocked Kobe.
As soon as Kobe stopped, Tony Allen immediately got close to him, forcing the former to protect the ball and creating a double-team opportunity for Li Ba.
