Chapter 1059 Sweeping the Finals?
Facing Li Ba's defense, James did not attack much. He made 4 of 1 shots in a single quarter, was blocked by Li Ba, missed a goal, scored 2 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 turnover and 2 fouls.
He was blocked by Li Ba, but he also returned one. The one that Li Ba missed was blocked by him during the fast break.
In addition, Li Ba's mistake was also caused by his defense.
In the second quarter, Li Ba and James continued to play, but there was no matchup. The former played center and returned to the paint to control the defensive end.
In this quarter, O'Neal was not on the court. Li Ba controlled the rebounds on both ends of the offense and defense. Big Z was not his opponent at all. He grabbed 11 rebounds in a single quarter, sent 4 blocks and 2 steals, and sent 3 2 assists, 2 of 3 shots, 1 of 5 free throws, 5*[-] data in the half, extraordinary performance.
同样,对位托尼阿伦,詹姆斯也打出了高效表现,7投3中,6罚4中,拿下10分1篮板3助攻2抢断2盖帽1失误的数据。
However, the Suns had an advantage in the number of shots. At halftime, the Cavaliers did not regain the score. 45:55, the Suns led by double digits.
Come back at halftime, the game continues, and the Suns attack.
O'Neal hasn't come back yet, and the Cavaliers still have Big Z and Varejao inside.
Li Ba is still in the fifth position, and the inside line is combined with the United Arab Emirates, and the outside line is Tony Allen, Ginobili, and Rondo.
Facing the slow-moving interior of the Cavaliers, with Li Ba and Ah Lian controlling the paint on both ends of the offense and defense and ensuring sufficient rebounds, the Suns once again played outside fast break tactics.
There is a clear division of labor among the three outside lines. Ginobi is responsible for shooting outside, while the other two hit the basket crazily. In just half a quarter, they got 13 free throw opportunities.
In the 7th minute of the third quarter, 52:72, the Suns led by 20 points, half of which were free throws.
"The rebound was completely out of control. The Cavaliers replaced O'Neal, but can the old O'Neal solve the problem? I don't think the hammer will return to the point guard. He should directly face O'Neal."
Zhang Lili shouted.
As Zhang reasonably expected, Li Ba did not intend to make a substitution, and he continued to stay in the paint.
O'Neal's playing has indeed improved the Cavaliers' rebounding.
But Li Ba was in the paint, which was different from the first half. In the first half, when Li Ba was on the outside, the Cavaliers could maintain the balance of rebounds, but now even if O'Neal plays, it is impossible to maintain this balance.
After the third quarter, Li Ba grabbed 8 rebounds again in a single quarter, sent 2 steals and 1 block, and had two second offenses.
Yu Jia shouted: "It's 60:84 now, the Suns lead by 24 points, and the G1 game should be won."
Zhang Lili said: "Today, in the first quarter, the Hammer mainly attacked from the outside, and in the next two quarters, they mainly defended from the inside, which ensured the score advantage in the first quarter. The Cavaliers are still too slow inside. This finals should not be able to form against the Suns. Too big of an obstacle."
In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, the point difference widened to 30 points, and the Cavaliers gave up the game.
李坝也随之下场,41分钟的时间,他拿下了27分26篮板7助攻9抢断7盖帽1失误2犯规的数据,表现一般。
This performance was mediocre, which was what the media said after the game, because there was neither a triple-double nor a quadruple-double, let alone a five-double. There was only one 5*5+double-twenty. For Li Ba, the No. Somewhat shabby.
In the post-match interview, Barkley asked: "Hammer, how many finals do you think there will be?"
Li Ba said with a smile: "I can tell you with certainty that we will win the championship with all victories."
"Oh!"
The surrounding reporters all exclaimed.
"Sweep! Sweep..."
The Suns fans in the auditorium behind immediately cheered.
"Damn bastard, he's dreaming!" O'Neal roared angrily.
"Hammer, what do you think is the problem with this Cavaliers team? What needs to be done?" A Cleveland reporter asked.
Li Ba said without thinking: "Of course it's an inside line, the Cavaliers have to re-select the four and five positions.
I have a good relationship with Shaq, but I still have to say that he is no longer fit to start, especially the starting center of a championship-caliber team. "
O'Neill's eyes widened on the other side. He was very angry and a little helpless when he heard this sentence.
James also heard it next to him, but he thinks what Li Ba said is right. The Cavaliers can play other teams, even the Lakers and the Mavericks, because everyone plays traditionally, but not against the Suns. Can't beat, the inside line is too slow.
On June 6, the G7 battle began.
"Hammer, let's compete."
Before the opening, O'Neill approached Li Ba and issued a letter of challenge.
"OK!" Li Ba agreed.
But this whistle is a bit biased towards the Cavaliers. There is no way, the strength of the two teams is somewhat different, and the league does not want to lose all suspense in the finals.
Li Ba did not disappoint O'Neal, and always worked hard in the low position, finding O'Neal on both offense and defense.
Although the whistle was aimed at him, he still played extremely strong. Even after five fouls, the defensive intensity reached its peak. In one round, he blocked O'Neal and James three times in a row, and finally directly blocked O'Neal on the floor.
It was also because of this block that he swallowed his sixth foul, a so-called technical foul.
In the 8th minute of the third quarter, Li Ba was sent off.
It was the third time in his career that he had six fouls.
31分钟时间,除了第二节,其他19分钟时间,他一直负责主攻,18投13中,12罚8中,下场的时候砍下了34分21篮板2助攻8抢断12盖帽2失误6犯规。
In the first quarter, the old Shark was blown up by Li Ba on both ends of the offense and defense. He was intercepted by Li Ba twice and blocked three times. dam.
With O'Neal defending Li Ba, LeBron increased his impact on the paint area, but Li Ba played a dominant defense in the paint area, which made him bruised and bloody, and was intercepted by Li Ba 3 times , Block 5 times.
When Li Ba was sent off, there were 16 minutes left in the game, the score was 57:88, and the Suns led by 31 points.
At this time, Barkley shouted: "Congratulations to the league, congratulations to Mr. Stern, the ratings have exceeded [-] million, but I'm afraid it will drop soon."
After Li Ba left the field, O'Neal was actually exhausted, but in order to seize the chance of winning, he still stayed on the field.
After Li Ba left the court, the atmosphere in the American West Arena became more and more intense. Every time the Cavaliers took the ball, the audience booed extremely fiercely.
LeBron and O'Neal teamed up, and at the end of the three quarters, they played a wave of 69-90 attacks, tying the score to 21:[-], still [-] points behind.
