Chapter 1134: Heavy Dunk Under a Four-Man Double Team
It was still double stacking, but this time the Lakers were higher, and A-Lian was not left open again.
In addition, Odom was replaced by Duncan to defend Yao Ming, and A-Lian was defended on the right wing in the low post.
Li Ba received the ball one step below the left elbow, and Artest was inside.
At this time, Li Ba suddenly turned around, rushed past Artest in the first step, dribbled once, and accelerated in the second step, generating a strong explosive force and rushed to the basket.
Seeing this, Pau Gasol and Duncan on the two wings in the low post immediately shrank to the basket and closed the door to defend.
At the same time, Odom under the right elbow also shrank down immediately, and together with the other three, formed a four-man double team against Li Ba.
Facing the closed defense of Pau Gasol and Duncan, Li Ba jumped up without hesitation.
"Bang!"
He knocked open the closed door of Pau Gasol and Duncan in the air, and the two exploded to the sides and fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
In the four-man double team, Li Ba dunked with both arms, exploding the Lakers' basket.
"Yeah!"
The whole stadium was boiling instantly, and thousands of people cheered.
"Well done!"
Yao excitedly hit Li Ba's chest.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and gave Duncan a hand foul.
"This is a real inside attack! Except for the rookie season, I haven't seen the hammer play like this for several years." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
Li Ba walked to the free throw line and prepared to shoot free throws.
He could have chosen to pass it just now, he had the ability, and he knew everyone's position very well, but he chose to attack.
The reason is very simple, Kobe attacked the penalty area, he attacked, it's the same principle, to cause damage to the opponent's inside line.
Then he made the free throw, 2:5, the Suns led.
The Lakers attacked.
"Be careful of their pick-and-roll tactics." Li Ba reminded.
While shouting, he ran to the basket and shouted to Yao: "Let's switch defense, you just cut off his receiving line, don't defend him to death, he can't score many points."
In this way, Li Ba defended beside Duncan, and Yao played against Artest on the left wing.
"No problem, Artest doesn't have many shots, and most of them are jump shots. He doesn't break through. His main task is defense. Yao Ming can just follow him." Zhang Heli shouted.
"Kobe, be careful when breaking through." Phil Jackson shouted off the court.
Barkley looked at it and laughed, "I rarely see Phil yelling like this on the sidelines."
At this time, Kobe began to break through. In order to improve his hit rate, he had to get close to the paint area.
Odom made another pick-and-roll, and Al-Jazeera switched to defend Kobe. Kobe changed direction and broke through Al-Jazeera again, then rushed to the paint area with the ball.
"Al-Jazeera is not good at defending Kobe, too slow." Yu Jia shouted.
Li Ba directly threw away Duncan and rushed to Kobe, making active defense and forcing Kobe to make the reaction he wanted.
"Pass? Or shoot? Shoot!"
Kobe was two steps away from Li Ba. At this moment, two thoughts flashed in his mind. But then, he made a choice.
The next moment, he jumped up.
"Shoot? Or pass? Kobe will definitely choose to shoot."
When Kobe jumped, two thoughts flashed through Li Ba's mind.
Li Ba rushed towards Kobe with all his strength, and Kobe leaned back in the air to shoot.
Li Ba felt that his fingertips seemed to touch something. After landing, he staggered forward, propped up his left hand on the floor, and immediately turned around and rushed to the basket, and then the sound of the basketball hitting the basket was heard.
At this time, Ginobili, who was broken by Kobe, turned around and rushed down.
If this ball hits, he can play fast break; if it doesn't, Duncan grabs the rebound and makes a second attack, and enters the offense and defense transition; or Li Ba grabs the rebound, and also enters the offense and defense transition.
Kobe also immediately climbed up from the floor and chased Ginobili who was three steps ahead.
Under the basket, Duncan grabbed the rebound, jumped slightly on the spot, and sent the ball to the basket.
But at this moment, Dayao and Li Ba arrived at the same time, and two big hands, one on the left and one on the right, blocked the ball at the same time.
Duncan sighed in his heart. If this was his college days, he would have dunked directly. How could he be blocked?
The ball was under force and jumped over Dayao's head.
Li Ba "saw" that there was someone behind Dayao and no one was defending him. It could only be Artest. He immediately turned around and rushed behind Dayao.
Artest received the ball and immediately jumped up to shoot. As soon as the ball was shot, a big hand rushed over and grabbed the ball in the air.
"Beautiful, Iron Hammer and Dayao blocked the Lakers in succession, and now they are counterattacking!"
Li Ba successfully blocked the shot and "saw" someone running to the front court. He immediately glanced over there. It was Ginobili.
"Manu!"
He immediately shouted and threw the ball over.
Ginobili received the ball and pushed forward, making a layup.
Kobe was still two steps away, and the defense failed.
2:7, the Suns led at home.
"Kobe, pay attention to passing the ball, trust your teammates, and pay attention to the timing of shooting!" Phil Jackson shouted loudly.
In the second half of the sentence, he reminded Kobe that when Li Ba was under the basket, he should take advantage of the pick-and-roll opportunity to shoot and not get too close to the paint area.
The Lakers attacked.
Yao Ming was still defending Duncan in the low post.
Kobe advanced to the right wing. He had already observed the positions of both sides. Li Ba was on the left wing and chose to break through directly.
With a strong step, Ginobili turned around to chase and defend. At this time, Odom's pick-and-roll arrived and he was left behind by Kobe.
Li Ba took advantage of Kobe's breakthrough opportunity and had already left Artest behind and rushed into the paint area.
Kobe is not the kind of point guard who can observe the entire situation when breaking through. That kind of point guard is Nash and Kidd.
If it were Nash and Kidd, Li Ba would never do this.
Kobe had just broken through Ginobili and encountered the Arab League's defense change. He turned around and passed the Arab League again. When he was about to take the ball into the paint, Li Ba arrived.
The moment the two passed each other, Kobe was dribbling, and Li Ba grabbed the ball with great accuracy and completed the steal.
"Fuck you, it's a steal!" Yu Jia was so excited that he cursed.
"here!"
Ginobili on the outside turned around and shouted to Li Ba.
Li Ba passed the ball, Ginobili held the ball with all his strength and went down quickly. No one from the Lakers could catch up in time and successfully made a layup.
2:9, the Suns lead.
Phil Jackson shook his head. He believed that just after Kobe broke through Ginobili, it was the best time to take action. This was a wrong choice of time to take action.
"Kobe, do some coordination with Lamar," he shouted again.
Kobe glanced at Phil Jackson and nodded.
The Lakers attack again.
Kobe advanced to the right wing and did not stop. Instead, he carried Ginobili directly to the flank.
At this time, Odom made a pick-and-roll. After Kobe broke through Ginobili, he met the Arab League's defense. At this time, he passed back to Odom, who formed a huge mismatch advantage over Ginobili. The mid-range shot Take the shot and hit the ball.
Phil Jackson nodded at this time, turned around and sat down.
