For the Suns, Li Ba started to attack in the fourth quarter, playing O'Neal in the low post.
O'Neill played half a quarter, he was too heavy, and his mobility could not keep up with Li Ba.
Now that Li Ba has a shot from close to the basket, O'Neal can no longer directly retreat to the basket, and the result is that Li Ba first gets the ball outside, and then frequently uses top-level turns and the first step to easily drop O'Neal. Needless to say later Yes, easy and efficient.
In the half quarter, Li Ba made the main attack and beat O'Neal 6 times in a row, forcing O'Neal to hug someone directly at the end, and then was replaced.
With Li Ba's outburst, the Suns led by 104 points at 92:12. This is the first time that the difference between the two points has reached two points tonight.
Barkley said: "The Hammer's mobility is really a bug among interior players, and the Cavaliers traded O'Neal during the offseason, which can be said to have failed. Let me say that the Cavaliers should have traded at the beginning. What they lack most is not a center. , Big Z and Ben could support the fifth position, after Drew Gooden left, what they urgently needed was the fourth position."
"No, you can't say that just yet."
Kenny Smith said: "It should be said that without O'Neal, the Cavaliers have steadily entered the finals. Its opponent must be one of the Lakers, the Suns, and the Mavericks. As for the Cavaliers with O'Neal, it is difficult to play against the Suns, but it is difficult to play against the Lakers. Or the Mavericks, with an advantage because those two teams are traditional position teams."
Barkley said: "So you mean, if the Mavericks or the Lakers reach the finals in the Western Conference, then this deal is a success?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Kenny Smith laughed.
Barkley thought for a moment, nodded and smiled, "It makes sense."
The Cavaliers called a timeout, the timeout came back, and the game continued.
The inside line of the Cavaliers is composed of Big Z and Joe Smith.
Joe Smith was the No. 95 pick in [-]. He was a star player in American basketball at the time, but he was involved in a secret contract scandal with the Timberwolves. Now he is about to retire.
The so-called secret contract scandal is a fake contract, using two contracts to evade the league's luxury tax. This was done by his agent Dan Fagan.
When he joined the Timberwolves, it was Fegan who bewitched the Warriors to trade him to the Timberwolves. After the secret contract was exposed, he also became a free agent under the order of the league. He did not get a big contract from the Timberwolves, and his career was severely affected.
But the inside combination of Big Z and Joe Smith is still not the opponent of Li Ba and Gasol Jr. The Suns still focus on the inside and blow up this combination.
The Cavaliers were blown inside, and the offense could only be launched from the outside. However, James was defended by the United Arab Emirates, and his efficiency was not high enough, and he couldn't rush in to play, so the outside efficiency was not enough.
In the case of losing both inside and outside, the Cavaliers lost the game 116:100.
李坝全场48分钟，砍下39分22篮板12助攻10抢断9盖帽2失误3犯规的数据，只差一个盖帽，险些打出第6个五双。
Zhang Lili sighed: "The Cavaliers did not attack inside in the fourth quarter, otherwise this five-double would definitely be a success."
Yu Jiadao: "The Cavaliers have big Z + O'Neal inside, but unfortunately they are old! And there is no suitable power forward. If the Cavaliers can't win this season, there must be a problem inside."
Xu Jicheng said: "Originally there was still Daben, but after trading O'Neal, Daben was traded back to the Pistons. I think if Daben is here, playing against the Suns should be better than now, right?"
Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "O'Neal's data is not bad, but the state of the big book has dropped really badly, it is not good at all, and he is about to retire, and he is in the mix. The Suns wanted to sign the big book last year, but fortunately they didn't sign in, or they would be cheated gone."
Yu Jia said: "Today's two games, the Hammer and Dayao both broke out, but the Arab League is also good, regardless of his poor statistics, but without him, the Suns would have no one to defend James."
Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "Today, Ah Lian's score was taken away by the Hammer. He is the main defense, and the Hammer is the main attacker, haha!"
On the court, James was a little frustrated.
He thought he could win, but he didn't expect to lose by 16 points. Li Ba didn't play much in the next three to four minutes, otherwise the point difference would be even bigger.
He also saw that, playing against the Suns, like the Hammers said, there was a problem inside, too slow, unable to keep up, unable to defend, offensive, the Hammers' defense was too strong, and both offense and defense were blown up.
As for himself, when he faced up against Yi later, his efficiency was also greatly reduced.
He regretted that he didn't trade before the Suns.
He knew Yi's strength for more than eight years, so why didn't he think of trading?
But in fact, he knows the reason for not trading, because Yi played the third position in the Eagles, and he also played the third position in the Chinese national team before, and the Cavaliers have him and Gerald Wallace as two top small forwards. Why would the team still trade small forwards?
But today, Yi performed well against him at the third position, and also played well at the fourth position. What the Cavaliers lack is a power forward, which is urgently needed!
But the real trouble is that Yi has now reached the Suns, and the Cavaliers are likely to touch the Suns in the finals. This trouble may be fatal.
In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "Now the ratings of the five Christmas games are out, only the Suns and the Cavaliers have exceeded 3000 million, and even reached [-] million. Congratulations to the two teams!"
Kenny Smith said with a smile: "The battle between the Lakers and the Heat also reached 6000 million, which shows that our ball market has indeed expanded too much. In addition, the battle between the Lakers and the Heat, Yao and Garnett have performed well. , Garnett got 18+9 data, but Yao was even better, playing 40+10 performance..."
Before he finished speaking, Barkley laughed and said, "Kenny, don't rush to say that this deal is a failure. After all, the Lakers have to pass the Suns' barrier before they can enter the finals."
"Yes, if Garnett can beat the Hammers, he doesn't need to go to the Heat. After all, the Timberwolves' three-headed monster lineup is also super strong." Kenny Smith laughed.
"So you insist that Yao Dan's exchange for Garnett is a failed deal." Barkley laughed.
"Garnett can indeed replace many of Yao's tactical positions in the Lakers, but his state has declined significantly. After this season, he may decline even more. And Yao is 4 years younger than Garnett. His current performance, Two years is no problem." Kenny Smith laughed.
"Then let's look forward to the performance of both sides, and also look forward to the performance of the Lakers and Suns in the playoffs." Barkley laughed.
Li Ba was interviewed at the scene. A reporter asked him his opinion on the strength of this Cavaliers team. He said: "I have told LeBron a long time ago that they have problems inside. They are too old and too slow. Weak, such an insider can play against other teams, but against us..."
He shook his head and said, "No."
