Chapter 1138 Two Consecutive Victories

Looking back, the Suns defended, with Hill guarding Kobe and Iverson guarding Parker.

Kobe still got the ball and hit Hill alone.

"Grant, stick to him!" Li Ba shouted to Hill at the top of the arc.

He shouted while trying to get closer to Kobe.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hill immediately launched a personal defense against Kobe.

Kobe hurriedly took a step back. At this time, Duncan asked for the ball in the low right wing, and he immediately jumped and passed.

But at this moment, Li Ba cut into the passing line and completed the interception.

This is Li Ba's active defense, using Hill's personal defense to make Kobe mistakenly think that he will double-team, thus forcing Kobe to either rush or pass the ball.

Seeing Li Ba steal the ball, Iverson immediately turned around and stepped down quickly.

His speed was still very fast, even if he stepped on the accelerator of the little sports car, he was still two steps behind.

At this time, Li Ba passed the ball, and Iverson caught the ball for a layup and hit a goal.

"It's done, four pairs are done!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "The Suns have a very rich lineup, including double towers, double stacks, current breakout tactics, fast break tactics, and even one star and four shots."

"With the abilities of Iron Hammer and Dayao, they can use triangle tactics." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Two minutes later, as Li Ba blocked a shot to Duncan while assisting in defense, the audience stood up and cheered.

"Yeah, yeah, five pairs! Dad has five pairs!" Guoguo jumped up and down on the sidelines, cheering with two little slaps in the air.

At this time, the score was 89:94, the Suns led by 5 points, and the Lakers called a timeout.

"Hammer, shall we change our defensive tactics?" Payton asked.

Li Ba nodded, it was time to end the game.

The timeout ended, and the Suns played Li Ba + Arab League + Tony Allen + Ginobili + Rondo.

This is the fastest and oldest guy at all positions and the best defender.

The Lakers replaced Gasol and put Odom on.

"Full-court press!"

When the Lakers were about to serve, Li Ba shouted, and the Suns players immediately pressed the ball.

Odom served the ball from the sideline, looked left and right, saw Kobe running out of space, and quickly passed the ball.

Kobe dashed left and right, dropped Ginobili, and crossed the center line in the middle.

At this time, Odom reached for the ball from him on the right three-point line. Kobe looked at the position of the United Arab Emirates. He was two or three steps away from Odom, and there was a lot of space.

Just when Odom reached for the ball from Kobe, Li Ba, who was guarding Duncan under the free throw line, shouted to the Arab League in Mandarin: "America Lian, change defense."

So, when Kobe passed the ball, Li Ba had already pounced on Odom, who was three steps away, while the Arab League entered the basket to defend Duncan.

Odom caught the ball and took a shot, and Li Ba jumped one step away. The two jumped almost at the same time, and then the ball that had just been shot was grabbed by Li Ba with a claw.

"Beautiful, the Hammer blocked Odom!" Yu Jia roared excitedly.

Barkley shouted at this time: "In this kind of chaos of full-court pressing, the Hammers' defensive ability can be brought into full play.

This is why O'Neal said last time that if the small ball era comes, the Hammers can steal 20 times in a single game.

Now I want to say that even if there are not 20 steals, the total number of blocks and steals is very likely to exceed 20 in a single game. "

The Suns counterattacked across the board, and their overall speed surpassed that of the Lakers. Duncan, Odom, and Artest were left behind, and only Allen was left behind. The Suns formed a pattern in the frontcourt with more and less. In the end, Li Ba assisted Tony Allen for a layup.

89:96, the Suns lead by 7 points.

Kobe's face was cold. He regretted passing the ball. He had already broken through Ginobili just now, so it was his turn to do it.

The Suns' full-court press lasted until the 10th minute of the fourth quarter and lasted for half a quarter. At this time, the score reached 95:108, and the Suns led by 13 points.

Phil called the final timeout.

At this time, the Suns made substitutions, adding Dayao and Gasol, Li Ba and Hill, plus Iverson.

Barkley shook his head and sighed: "The depth of the Lakers' lineup is far less than that of the Suns, and the main players are too tired."

Kenny Smith said: "The Hammers can be used as half of the team by themselves. What do you want the Lakers to do? They can only extend the time of the main force.

And look, the Suns signed Yao with a mid-level player. This is simply cheating.

In addition, they also signed Iverson with a minimum salary, as well as veterans like Grant Hill, both of whom averaged 15+ and even still have the ability to score 20+ per game.

Even Gasol, on other teams, even the Lakers, is the main center, but in the Suns he can only play as a substitute. "

Barkley laughed and said: "The Suns have always lacked height in the past few seasons, but now with Yao and Gasol, their height has gone up instantly, and they have almost become the team with the highest average altitude in the league. The key is With such a height, they can still configure a lineup that can play fast breaks and full-court press tactics. This is indeed cheating.”

"Yes, we should split the sun." Kenny Smith laughed.

"Then prepare to have your head blown off with a hammer." Buckley shook his head and smiled.

"But Yao only signed for one year. Based on his performance, he can definitely sign another big contract, so the Suns may not be able to keep him."

Kenny Smith said.

"Yeah, I don't understand why the Suns only signed him for one year? He could have signed him for at least two or three years. However, he must be worried about his health." Barkley smiled.

With the appearance of Yao Ming and Gasol, the Suns' offensive tactics changed to positional warfare, and the defensive tactics also cancelled the full-court pressing tactics and returned to the zone defense.

The Lakers also replaced Gasol and Artest at the same time, letting Odom play as a small forward.

The Lakers attacked, and Duncan hit Yao Ming in the low post.

Looking back, Yao Ming returned Duncan in the high post.

Kobe saw that this would not work, so he took over the ball and started to fight for three-pointers.

He had a very good touch today, 8 of 15 three-pointers, and had already scored 46 points, but unfortunately he ran into Li Ba's five-double.

In the last minute or so, Kobe made three consecutive three-pointers, two of three, and made two more three-pointers, scoring 50+.

But the Suns played steadily, Li Ba attracted defense in the low post, Yao Ming shot in the high post, and he protected the rebound below and played a second offense.

In the end, the Suns won by 10 points, 106:116. Kobe's three-pointer did not equalize the score for the team, and the Lakers also lost their second away game.

Zhang Heli commented after the game: "The Hammers did not defend Kobe in this game. Kobe exploded and scored 51 points, almost half of the points, but the team still lost. This may cause some pressure on him."

Xu Jicheng said: "The scoring is too concentrated, so the Suns' defense will be more targeted. The Suns did not double-team Kobe in this game. This should be intentional to let him shoot and exert defensive power on others."

Yu Jia said: "Yes, Gasol and Duncan only scored 21 points in this game, and the number of shots was very small."
