Chapter 1136 I'm That Good
The Lakers attack.
Gasol and Odom stretched to the flanks left and right, Artest was on the left-wing three-point line, Kobe was on the right-wing three-point line, and Parker held the ball at the top of the arc.
Dayao defended Gasol, Allen defended Odom, Tony Allen defended Artest, Lee Dam defended Kobe, Ginobili defended Parker.
Parker moved continuously, turned suddenly, and entered the empty paint from the left elbow.
The moment he turned around, Li Ba lost Kobe and returned to the paint.
Parker entered the penalty area with the ball and found that Li Ba had also come in. He didn't dare to make a shot, so he immediately turned around with a top, and then wanted to pass the ball to Kobe who was emptied by Li Ba.
At this time, Kobe had already cut into the flank, and Parker passed the ball. At this moment, Li Ba suddenly stopped and turned around, cut into the passing line with his left hand, and broke the ball with one palm.
"..."
Phil Jackson shook his head. It wasn't a mistake. Parker turned around and passed the ball very suddenly. It was because Li Ba's defense was too strong. It wasn't that I was too weak, but that the opponent was too strong.
Ginobili turned around and went down quickly, received a pass from Li Ba, hit a layup, and provided an assist for Li Ba.
Looking back, Kobe used Odom's pick-and-roll to hit a three-pointer on Li Batou.
At this time, Li Ba played a fast break from the outside, and went directly from the three-point line.
Dayao quickly sent it to Li Ba, and Li Ba quickly advanced.
At this time, Ginobili in the middle was about to go down to the top of the arc. Seeing Li Ba rushing into the paint, he immediately made an emergency stop. .
Next, Kobe took control of the ball and made a three-pointer with all his might.
But under Li Ba's defense, the hit rate is destined not to be high, which also led to the failure of the Lakers' final counterattack.
After half a quarter, 70:96, the Suns have led by 26 points.
Li Ba got four assists in half a quarter, only one short of a five-double.
Phil Jackson did not replace Duncan, and this G1 battle is irreparable.
As the Lakers began to replace the main players, everyone in the audience looked at Li Ba.
"Will the Hammers go?" Barkley yelled.
"Oh, it's down, he's down! It seems that the five-double has no appeal for him anymore, and he doesn't care at all."
Kenny Smith suddenly yelled.
"Ugh!"
The American West Arena sighed.
Zhang Lili said at this time: "Iron Hammer is right, this Lakers is indeed not a threat to the Suns."
Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "In the final analysis, no one can deal with the hammer. He can be inside and outside, and his destructive power is too great!"
Yu Jia said with a smile: "The key is that he can play different positions on both ends of the offense and defense within one round, which makes the Lakers' tactics impossible to adapt."
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "It's like he can transform. Just now he was an invincible hammer on the inside, but he turned into a sharp knife when he ran outside, and turned into a sharp knife on the defensive end the next moment. Who is the Lakers going to play against him? From the defensive end to the offensive end, the people who play against the hammer must be constantly replaced, too often, so as long as the hammer moves, the Lakers' formation will be chaotic."
During the on-site interview, a reporter asked Li Ba: "Iron Hammer, you scored a five-double in Niles last time, so why didn't you score in this game?"
"Because the playoffs are a series, I didn't play, so I need to try my best to maintain my physical fitness and not waste my physical energy for data."
Li Ba laughed.
"Then do you admit that the five-double of the Knicks was made?" the reporter said with a smile.
Li Ba glanced at the reporter and said with a sneer: "Of course, every five-double of mine is done. I'm just so good. I can do it easily. The rest of them can do it for a lifetime and a few times. In ten years, you can't find one, do you have anything else to say?"
"..."
The reporter's face was darkened, but he was speechless.
"Ha ha……"
Yu Jia and others and some reporters shook their heads and laughed.
On June 5, the G5 battle started.
Lakers: Gasol, Odom, Artest, Kobe, Parker.
Suns: Dayao, Ah Lian, Li Ba, Ginobili, Rondo.
The Lakers' starting lineup was a bit beyond the expectations of the Suns, and Duncan actually entered the bench lineup.
"Phil, Tim is not on the injured list, why did he lose his starting job?"
In the locker room of the visiting team, a group of reporters entered the locker room and asked this question.
Phil Jackson said: "Sorry, I can't give an explanation."
"Tim, what do you think?" A reporter immediately asked.
"This is the team's arrangement." Duncan said in a low-key manner.
In the locker room of the home team, Payton was discussing the Lakers' starting lineup with the coaching staff and Li Ba.
Payton said: "Their offensive tactic must be to pull away, and then let Kobe and Parker break through. Hammer, what do you think?"
Li Ba: "Very likely."
But both Payton and Li Ba guessed wrong, and the Lakers didn't play a scoring tactic.
At the start of the game, the Suns won the jump ball and attacked first.
On the offensive end, Li Ba is still in the low position, Dayao is in the high position, and Ah Lian is on the flank.
On the first goal, Dayao hit a goal directly on the head of Gasol.
Looking back, the Lakers attacked, Gasol and Odom first pulled away, but immediately they poured into the paint with Artest.
At this time, Parker made a three-pointer at the top of the arc and missed. Gasol grabbed the rebound and made a tip-up.
"It turned out to be a crowded tactics in the restricted area. However, there are some changes. The inside line is pulled out first, and then comes back, so that you can take advantage of the opportunity of pulling out and make a time difference. So this is why Duncan entered the bench lineup, because his mid-range shot is not good. Great," Barkley yelled immediately.
"It's an old Phil thing. It's good for controlling the hammer, but it doesn't really solve the problem," Kenny Smith said.
"Using the hammer on the outside and losing control of the paint area, the Lakers snapped shots from the outside, and then others rushed to grab the rebound. This tactic is indeed beyond people's expectations." Barkley said.
"The hammer is not in the paint area, so the Lakers can at least achieve a certain balance in the paint area by playing like this. But next time they play like this, the hammer will definitely return to the penalty area faster." Kenny Smith said.
"But it's full of people, and the use of the hammer to go back is not very useful. Don't forget that this is a sea of people tactic." Barkley said.
"Then double-team the ball holder, that is, reduce the number of people in the paint area, and can also strengthen the defense on the outside. It has been proved in previous seasons that the sea of people tactic is a failure." Kenny Smith said.
In the next few minutes, the Suns really reduced the defense of the penalty area and strengthened the double-teaming of the Lakers' ball holders, which caused a great obstacle to the Lakers' outside offense and caused the Lakers' tactics to fail.
But in the past few minutes, because the rookie head coach Payton didn't respond in time, the Lakers still took advantage of it.
