Chapter 1024 Hammer's Fast Break and Kobe's Defense
Suddenly, Kobe made a false shot and stood up.
Li Ba stepped forward and made a ready move to take off and block the shot.
But his defensive action is very sensible, he would rather let Kobe take a shot than take off indiscriminately.
Ever since his nerve reaction speed reached the top level and his projectile speed reached the top level, this point has become more firm, that is, he must wait for the opponent to take off before taking off.
He knew a lot about Kobe, he knew Kobe's jumper habit, when he took off, his ball was over his head.
The ball went from the right rib to the upper abdomen, and then rose to the top of the head. This time was when Kobe bent his knees and took off.
At this time, Li Ba can steal, but cannot take off.
If you can steal it, steal it, and if you can't, be ready to jump when Kobe's ball reaches his head.
This time, Kobe's action was quick and sudden. When the ball came out from under his right rib and rose to the top of his head, Li Ba missed the opportunity to steal it.
But he didn't see Kobe's feet off the ground as the ball went overhead.
At this moment, Li Ba forcibly suppressed the urge to jump.
Then, he saw Kobe suddenly shortened from the state of getting up, and he understood that Kobe wanted to break through.
At this moment, he suddenly took a step back.
At the same time, Kobe stepped out with his right foot, dribbled the ball with his right hand, and broke through from the right side and Li Ba's left side.
Between the two retreating and advancing, the position did not change.
But unlike just now, the ball was not in Kobe's hands, but on the floor.
At this time, Li Ba reached out with his left arm and caught the ball bouncing off the floor.
"Steal! Hammer stole Kobe!" Yu Jia roared excitedly.
"Damn!"
Kobe was impatient, and rushed to grab it.
But Li Ba made a sudden turn, and by virtue of his top turning speed, he passed Kobe's counterattack and rushed to the frontcourt.
The Lakers retreated at full speed, but apart from Kobe, only Fisher at the top of the arc and Luke Walton on the outside of the wing could keep up with Li Ba's speed.
Li Ba advanced to the left wing, and Kobe went around from behind him to the right. At this time, Luke Wharton and Fisher rushed to the basket, gritted their teeth and looked at Li Ba's side.
They were very sure that today the whistle was biased against the Lakers, and Li Ba dared to rush in. It was definitely an offensive foul.
But Li Ba chose to split the ball and gave it to Kevin Martin who was behind the three-point line, and then rushed to the basket, ready to grab a rebound.
The unmarked Martin shot calmly, splashed and hit a three-pointer.
108:99, the Suns lead by 9 points.
"Stealing double-double, quadruple-double!" Yu Jia said excitedly.
Barkley explained at this time: "After more than two years of fly-catching training, not only is the defense better, Kobe's first step is faster, and his breakthrough ability has been further strengthened.
But in the face of the Hammer's perimeter defense, Kobe was still intercepted, so I would like to advise all ball holders: Cherish the ball and stay away from the Hammer. "
"Pfft!"
Kenny Smith laughed instantly.
The Lakers attack and Kobe gets the ball again.
At this time, Duncan, who was almost exhausted, suddenly rushed to the basket, carrying Dior below him, and asked him for the ball.
Kobe jumped up suddenly and smashed the ball in with both hands from above Li Ba's head.
No matter how fast Li Ba reacted, he failed to catch up with the ball. When he turned around, he saw Duncan catch the ball, then turned around, bypassed Dior, sent the ball to the backboard, and hit a ball.
108:101, the Lakers trailed by 7 points.
In the transition between offense and defense, when the ball just hit the board, Li Ba launched a fast break directly inside the three-point line and rushed to the frontcourt.
Under the basket, Dior picked up the ball and quickly retreated to the basket.
Duncan quickly stood behind the bottom line, but he was not Li Ba, and his lateral movement was far inferior to Li Ba, and he failed to stop Dior from making a quick move.
After Li Ba crossed the center line, he received the ball and headed towards the paint.
Kobe tried his best to catch up, but couldn't squeeze, couldn't break, couldn't break, and couldn't overtake, so he had no choice but to follow Li Ba into the paint.
Fisher returned to the defense in time and ran to the basket, but he had no time to turn around and stand up to make a foul, and he didn't dare to stop, so he could only rush out of the baseline.
Luke Walton on the flank was farther away and didn't catch up.
Behind Fisher, Li Ba flew up, and Kobe behind followed him to catch up with the cap.
With a bang, the Lakers basket was smashed.
110:101, the Suns lead by 9 points.
"Will the Suns play a full-court press? Oh, no, they all retreated." Yu Jia shouted.
Dayao and Duncan took their positions, and this time Dayao came to the right wing, on Li Ba's side.
Bryant crosses the center line from the right wing and asks for the ball.
Fisher passed the ball, Kobe took the ball two steps away from the three-point line, and Li Ba defended him.
At this time, Li Ba "saw" someone coming up behind him, came out from the flank, and ran to his side.
"Pick and roll. Left or right?"
At this moment, he began to guess the direction of Duncan's pick-and-roll.
Dayao went from the low post to the outside, stood on the right side of Li Ba, and made a pick-and-roll for Kobe.
Kobe made a breakthrough, but did not go behind Dayao.
"Kobe is too cunning, he fell for it!" Li Ba cursed secretly.
When Dayao was on his right pick-and-roll, he was ready to take a step back and intercept Kobe behind Dayao, but Kobe broke through.
He didn't retreat, but the center of gravity had already moved, so when Kobe started, he was half a beat slower and was rushed in by Kobe.
But his turn was too fast, he turned around in an instant, stepped out, and chased after Kobe.
But at this moment, Kobe made another sudden move. As soon as he broke through Li Ba, he jumped directly outside the three-point line and shot.
Li Ba rushed over in one step, it was already too late to stop and turn around.
As soon as the ball was shot and landed, Kobe turned around and returned to defense.
At this time, Li Ba also started to get off.
The moment they started, the basketball passed the basket.
110:104, the Lakers trailed by 6 points.
When Staples cheered for Kobe's three-pointer, the two had already started another offensive and defensive contest.
The two started almost at the same time, but Kobe's speed was still faster and his position was higher, leaving Li Ba one step behind.
But one step is not enough, he needs at least two steps just to turn around and stand in place before Li Ba returns to the defense.
He has accumulated energy for a long time, and now it is time to put it to work.
Similarly, Li Ba is the same.
Ah Lian made a quick shot, but Duncan prevented him from making a fast shot, but the former suddenly took a step sideways, staggered the latter, threw both hands violently, and the ball flew towards Li Ba in an instant like a shooting star.
Li Ba ran with all his strength. He wanted to keep up with Kobe, so as not to let Kobe have the chance to turn around and make him an offensive foul.
At this time, the ball came, and in the state of charging, he immediately grabbed back with his right hand, and with a snap, the ball fell into his hand.
Even though this kind of catch without looking at the ball has happened countless times, the fans are still amazed, and Staples even applauded a lot for this catch.
