Chapter 175: The Lakers Are Behind

The Lakers attack.

Kobe didn't wait on the left wing anymore, and ran directly to Payton for the ball. He couldn't watch Payton waste his possession of the ball.

Now Payton has no choice but to turn his face if he doesn't give it, and he can only hand over the ball.

"Mr. Gloves, you can choose to call the police." Li Ba smiled.

"Shut up, rookie!"

This time Payton and Kobe roared at the same time.

"Shaq, why don't you buy yourself out, and then come to my sun and let us beat Kobe together?" Li Ba said to O'Neal again.

"Rookie, shut up!" O'Neal cursed weakly.

Kobe once again singled out Joe Johnson. Frank didn't plan to double-team Kobe on the outside today. Let Kobe to toss Joe Johnson and grind it out to see if he can use Joe Johnson as the third scoring point in the playoffs.

"Kobe, shoot one on Joe's head and let me see if his defense has improved." Li Ba shouted.

"Boss, Kobe said he'd get sixty points on me," Joe Johnson yelled.

"It doesn't matter, you must be careful, don't step on Kobe's feet, don't hug him, and don't elbow him. We can't learn those dirty defenses." Li Ba urged.

Kobe's face twitched, what the hell, are you threatening me?

He originally wanted to shoot from the outside, and let Payton see what a strike was, but he was irritated, and he directly rushed to Joe Johnson and rushed to the paint area.

The two teams were separated, and Li Ba and O'Neal were on the inside line. Marion was pulled to the short right corner, one meter away from the paint.

Li Ba entered the defense in front of the reasonable collision zone under the basket, and O'Neal entered the mode of watching a show beside him, and did not make an offensive cover.

Phil Jackson saw it and sighed.

"Fuck!"

Without O'Neill's interference, Li Ba defended with all his strength. When Kobe was approaching, he suddenly shouted, stepped forward with his right foot, raised his right arm high, and made a fierce pounce.

Kobe's heart skipped a beat. He originally wanted to attack Li Ba and cause damage, but with Li Ba's vicious look, he was worried that Li Ba would directly attack him, so he immediately stopped.

Li Ba adopted active defense this time, slowing down Kobe's breakthrough speed.

But his forward probing is just a tentative action. Once Kobe changes direction urgently, he can immediately withdraw his right foot.

At this time, Kobe had already jumped up after the emergency stop, and made another fallback jumper.

When Li Ba saw Kobe jumping up, he kicked off his left foot, jumped up with all his strength, and rushed towards Kobe.

This moment seemed to be frozen, and the two lay reclined in the air for an instant, with Li Ba on top and Kobe on the bottom.

The next moment, Kobe's eyes were extremely cold, his wrist flicked, and he shot the basketball.

However, Li Ba took off with all his strength, coupled with the high bullet speed, his body almost completely covered Kobe, coupled with his terrifying wingspan, the result disappointed Kobe.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba slapped the basketball with his left hand.

"oh!"

The fadeaway jump shot was blocked from the front, and the Staples Arena was suddenly exclaimed.

"Boom!"

Li Ba bumped into Kobe, and the two rolled into a ball.

The basketball landed and was caught by Joe Johnson, who was chasing up from behind, and started a counterattack.

"The block from the flood dam, it goes to Kobe Bryant. Now the Suns go on the break, Marbury gets a pass from Joe Johnson..."

Barkley groaned loudly.

"Damn it, get away from me!"

"I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

Kobe pushed Li Ba angrily, and Li Ba got up unhurriedly.

"boom!"

This time it was Marion who dunked the ball. He came down from the low post quickly, caught up with Joe Johnson, and dunked on the head of Devon George.

14:7, the Suns lead away by 7 points.

"The current sun is really cruel. He dunks on other people's heads at every turn. This is all brought up by a hammer. He doesn't like others flying over his head, but he likes flying over other people's heads the most. , This is a typical double standard." Barkley complained.

This time Phil Jackson called a timeout.

"Gary, you're the point guard, and it's up to you to decide who to give the ball to," Phil Jackson said.

Gary Payton just wants to curse, doesn't that make him offend Kobe?

Phil Jackson said to Kobe with a bad face again: "Kobe, Shaq has a good chance, why don't you try to give it to him?"

Kobe didn't speak, just wiped his sweat with his head down.

"Shaq, Kobe breaks through, you have to cover the offense, don't let that rookie have the opportunity to defend Kobe with all his strength." After talking about Kobe, Phil Jackson said another word to O'Neal.

"I thought he could make a shot." O'Neal explained, but this explanation was worse than no explanation, and Kobe directly pushed back: "Next time I will make a shot, don't worry."

"There will always be a next time," O'Neill muttered.

Kobe's face turned cold, his eyes became extremely sharp, but he didn't speak.

Well, Phil Jackson didn't say anything, and just sat back on the bench.

Back from the timeout, Kobe asked for the ball again.

Payton really had no choice but to look at the bench helplessly, and then gave it to Kobe.

"Kobe, do you know, because of your persistence, you have the opportunity to be great! Give up your persistence, and you will be ordinary from now on!"

Li Ba growled in a low position.

"Great because of persistence?"

These words reached Kobe's heart, at this moment he felt that Li Ba was his confidant.

A confidant is rare, so he decided to fly over Li Ba's head and score another 60 points to thank Li Ba.

"boom!"

Kobe made a three-pointer and hit the iron.

Observing the arc of Kobe's shot, Li Ba started ahead of time.

Fortunately, the basketball rebounded the same way after hitting the basket. He judged correctly and grabbed the rebound in two steps from the left wing three-point line.

Bryant ran back in an instant and began to return to defense.

Although he missed the shot, the sharpness in his eyes became even sharper.

"The Hammers rebounded outside the paint, and I think he's making a conscious effort to expand his rebounding area."

Buckley said.

"That's for sure, I know he's doing Rodman's kind of anticipation training." Kenny Smith said.

The Suns fast break again, Bryant is the first to return to defense, followed by Payton and Devin George.

Marbury received the pass from Li Ba and went to the basket from the middle. After an emergency stop, he shook Kobe with a layup, and then made a successful layup.

16:7, the Suns lead away by 9 points.

The atmosphere in the Staples Arena was a bit depressing. In the first 5 minutes, the point difference almost reached double digits. Is this still a super team?

"The Suns' offensive success rate is too high, and the Hammers also control the rebounds very well. Now the Lakers have to solve both the offensive problem and the rebounding problem. They can't do without one of them." Zhang He understood. .

"Mr. Zhang, what did Hammer say to Kobe just now?" Yu Jia said.

"Perseverance makes greatness?" Zhang Lili smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, in the NBA or other industries, any successful person is a persistent person."

"So what's Kobe going to do next? Will he keep asking for the ball?" Yuga asked.

"It's very possible. He's not even persistent, he's stubborn, he's paranoid. Didn't someone call him paranoid? It's reasonable for him to want the ball, but it's unreasonable not to want the ball, haha!" Zhang Reasonable laughed.

(I wrote too much about the Lakers fight, and it was the longest game, everyone should be mentally prepared)
