Chapter 1008 Eating Crayfish

Barkley asked: "Yao, Tim, do you think you can adapt to the next changes in the league's style of play?"

Dayao looked at Duncan and said first: "It would be better if I was in the high post, and the offensive and defensive distance would be shorter. If I play in the low post, it would be quite awkward."

Duncan continued: "When I was with the Spurs, injuries recurred in the next two years and my athletic ability declined. The team basically gave up on my low-post core play, and instead relied on Parker and Ginobili's With the defender as the core of the tactics, I am more of a supporter and attract double teams. If I go to a fast-paced small ball team, I would not be able to adapt to it given my current physical condition.”

Li Badao: "There are currently several strong teams, starting from O'Neal's departure, Marion and Marbury joining forces, and Rudy Gay. The Grizzlies' style of play has changed from traditional positional warfare to small ball style. Attack and defense are quick.

The Lakers, of course, focus on traditional positional tactics. The Mavericks have Nowitzki as the core. Although he is on the outside, he is not fast, and the team's tactics have always been based on positional warfare.

The Western Conference is now a battle between the Cavaliers and the Heat, and they both focus on positional warfare.

There are six championship-level strong teams in the East and West, and there are four traditional teams. Only the Grizzlies prefer small-ball style, so traditional tactics currently prevail. "

"You said there are six championship-level teams, who is the sixth one?" Dayao said in surprise.

"You will meet him tomorrow night." Li Ba sneered.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

"Look now, you Suns are the only ones who are slow or fast." Dayao said.

"Well, whether it's a traditional team or a small ball team, our Suns take them all." Li Ba Niupi said coaxingly.

"Just blow it." Dayao said.

"Hammer, your Suns lineup is not configured well. I really don't think highly of you this year." Barkley said bluntly.

Li Ba nodded, but said: "Compared with the 2007 season, our starting lineup is missing Shane Battier and Marion, and more Arab League. If the Arab League can make up for Marion, then we will only be missing Shane Battier." Three points. Our substitute lineup is not bad, both inside and outside are good, so don’t underestimate us, we still have a chance to win the championship.”

When he said this, everyone was right.

Kobe said: "Without Battier, it's not just that you lose a three-pointer, but you will be double-teamed frequently in the paint, and you can be double-teamed from the beginning."

Li Ba smiled and said: "You can try it tomorrow night. Only after you try it can you see the real results."

"Just try it."

Kobe's fighting spirit burst out and he wished he could fight now.

At this time, the girl and the workers brought some desserts, fruits, snacks, some juice and a large pot of crayfish.

"Yifei, stop being busy, that's enough." Dayao shouted.

"I'm not busy, it's all prepared by Master Hu." The girl smiled.

"Come on, try this crayfish, it's very good." Li Ba greeted.

"Is this edible? We don't eat this here, so how can we eat it? Can we finish it all?" Kobe asked curiously.

Duncan and Buckley were also surprised. The basin in front of them was fifty centimeters in diameter and at least fifteen centimeters high. How many crayfish would there be if the basin was full?

"There are gloves here. Pinch off the head and tail. Don't eat the head. It's poisonous..." Li Ba introduced how to eat it.

"I'll try it first." Barkley took the initiative.

Dayao and Ah Lian are faster. This can only be eaten in China. There are no restaurants here that sell this.

Several people were eating crayfish while watching the game.

"This thing goes better with beer. The taste can only be discussed after we retire." An hour later, when the game was almost over and the crayfish was finished, Li Ba said with a smile.

"I didn't even eat a few, you guys ate them all!"

Pointing to a small pile of shrimp heads and shells on his side, and then pointing to the large piles in front of Li Ba, Ah Lian, and Dayao, Kobe complained.

"I didn't even eat a few! They were too fast!" Duncan also said.

Buckley and Smith also nodded. They thought they could eat one while Li Ba could eat ten.

"Is there more? I think we can still eat two big bowls." Kobe said.

"No more today. Come back next time. I'll have enough crayfish." Li Ba said with a smile.

"Next time we separate, each has his own food." Kobe shouted.

"Okay," Li Ba said with a smile.

The next day, on the night of November 20th, the Suns went to war with the Lakers.

The two most popular and influential teams in the league, this regular season game attracted a lot of attention and even attracted a large number of Hollywood stars to the scene.

Before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

Lakers: Duncan, Yao Min, Artest, Kobe, Parker.

Suns: Li Ba, Allen, Tony Allen, Ginobili, Rondo.

In the visiting team's locker room, Phil Jackson is arranging tactics.

"Kobe is on the right wing, Yao is supporting in the high post, Duncan is in the low post on the left wing and working under the basket, and Artest is on the right wing.

Tony, you hand the ball to Yao, then go to the left wing, stretch the defense, or wait for Yao's return pass, or you can cut into the paint and form a pick-and-roll with Tim.

Yao, after you get the ball, you can play alone, if you are double-teamed, pass back to Parker, pass to Duncan, or pass to Kobe on the right. Be careful when passing the ball and avoid the hammer.

Tim, your task is to use your position to suppress the hammer from the free throw line to the low left wing. Don't let him get close to the right wing, and don't let him easily help defend Kobe. "

At this time, Dayao said: "Phil, when I talked with the Hammer, he said that let Yi guard me, and he would guard Tim himself."

"Really?" Phil Jackson heard this and immediately began to think, and then said: "If he really guards Tim, then Yao can attack more, and you will have no problem beating Yi."

Dayao nodded. Although the defense of the Arab League was very good, there was still no problem in beating the Arab League with his offensive ability.

"Tim, if the Hammers guard you, when Yao attacks, you will be responsible for covering and preventing him from getting close to the high post." Phil Jackson said again.

Duncan nodded, and Jackson added: "Now let's talk about the tactical issues on the defensive end. In the positional battle, Artest directly let go of Artest, and double-teamed the Hammers throughout the game."

He stared at Artest and said: "If the Suns play fast break, you must stop him in advance and don't let him rush."

"I understand," Artest said.

At the beginning of the game, Li Ba asked Ah Lian to jump the ball. Ah Lian defeated Dayao and the Suns attacked.

"UAE is now the number one player on the Suns," Zhang Lili shouted.

"For several seasons, the UAE has been the highest, higher than Stoudemire." Yu Jia said.

At this time Rondo advanced to the top of the arc.

Parker didn't let go and defended from the front.

Artest, on the other hand, let Tony Allen go and double-teamed Lee in advance.

At this time, Li Ba suddenly moved up from the low position very quickly. Duncan couldn't keep up, and Artest was a step slower.

Rondo passed the ball to Li Ba in time. At this time, Artest was behind and Duncan was one step away.

Li Ba held Artest with his left hand, grabbed the ball with his right hand, suddenly turned left, and tried to break in.

Duncan immediately moved over and blocked Li Ba's breakthrough channel with Artest.

Li Ba failed to break through. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and stopped with his back to Duncan, preparing for a second breakthrough.
