Chapter 311 Taking Food From the Tiger's Mouth?

"Playing against the Lakers is when the Suns' bench lineup is the most passive. O'Neal and Malone take turns playing, which is enough to play the Suns' bench inside." Zhang Li sighed.

"It can't be helped, Mr. Zhang, it's hard to find a good insider. The Suns picked up the hammer by luck. Do you want to pick up the second one? Haha!" Yu Jia laughed.

"That's right." Zhang Li said with a smile.

The halftime break is over and the game is back.

In the third quarter, the starting lineups of both sides were the same as in the first quarter, and the Lakers attacked.

"Kobe, go in and shoot, we need success rate." Phil Jackson said before Kobe came on the court.

Kobe was taken aback, are you letting me open fire freely?

Phil Jackson also has no choice. Only the success rate can limit Li Ba's rebounds and reduce the number of quick plays of the Suns. This is the way he came up with.

This method is to give the ball to Kobe and let him solve the problem. but

The premise is that Kobe needs to rush in instead of shooting outside.

Kobe began to make shots outside again in the second quarter, otherwise the Lakers would have widened the point difference, which is what annoyed him.

Kobe's shooting percentage and shooting percentage are 21% and 33% for three-pointers, 28% and 40% for two-pointers from far away, 17% and 44% for two-pointers in the middle, 13% and 45% for two-pointers near the basket, and shots at the basket 21% vs. 63%.

One of the five attempts will go directly to the basket and the success rate is as high as 63%. This is the offensive method that Phil Jackson now wants him to take.

With Malone and O'Neal holding Li Ba in check, the success rate of this offensive method may be higher.

"Others pay attention to the pick-and-roll and cover Kobe's breakthrough. Kobe, we want to win. If you go in and the hammer comes up to deal with you, Shaq or Karl Malone will have the best chance."

Finally, Phil Jackson exhorted.

Kobe curled his lips to show that he heard it, and he didn't bother to nod.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe took the ball and broke through Malone's wall on the right wing.

After the pick-and-roll, Marion switched to defend Kobe. The latter accelerated in a change of direction and rushed in, ushering in Battier's defense.

At this time, Devin George also came down, blocked Battier, and the continuous pick-and-roll screens cleared the way for Kobe to enter the paint area.

At this moment, Kobe reached the paint area.

Li Ba had an elbow, and O'Neal wrapped him too tightly, so he turned sideways, sent his right elbow out, then broke free from the entanglement, and jumped towards Kobe from the basket.

O'Neal in the back raised his hand enduring the pain, the basket was on his head, give me the ball, bastard Kobe, this is his heartfelt voice.

But Kobe ignored O'Neal, and even when he saw Li Ba rushing over, he was still obsessed with it.

At this moment, he wants to be alone and blow up the sun!

Facing Li Ba, Kobe suddenly stopped and jumped up.

Li Ba leaped up, threw his body forward at 60 degrees in the air, stretched his right arm, and sealed it with his right palm.

At this moment, Kobe in the air suddenly leaned back, lay down in the air, and instantly opened the distance from Li Ba, and then, with the blessing of his powerful ability to stay in the air, he shot the ball.

"What the hell!"

Kobe is still in the air, and Li Ba has landed. This is the difference in the ability to stay in the air.

"boom!"

At this time, the sound of smashing baskets sounded.

Li Ba suddenly turned around to grab a rebound, but stopped suddenly because he saw the ball rolling into the basket.

49:40, the Lakers lead away by 9 points.

"Boy, I'm going to shoot you! I'm going to score 60 points on you! I'm going to win G3! Then G4G5!"

Kobe retreated backwards, and coldly spat out a bunch of trash talk at Li Ba.

"Mamba, next time I will slap you to the floor!" Li Ba replied.

Kobe's face froze. He had been blocked by Li Ba a few times, and he was also blocked on the floor. Those memories are not very good.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, he raised his chin towards Li Bagao, turned around and ran to the backcourt.

"Why are you so proud of a long worm? What the hell!"

Li Ba ran to the front court depressed, while summarizing the reasons for this failure.

Kobe's fadeaway is the direct cause, but in fact, it was his underestimation, thinking that Kobe was just a jumper, and he didn't make enough mental preparations for the fadeaway, but in fact the fadeaway is Kobe's forte, this time he was careless up.

But in fact, he also understands that he can't block every attack in the paint unless he has eight arms, each of which is two meters long.

Kobe has emergency stop jumpers, pull-ups, fadeaway jumpers, as well as big moves, step-back jumpers, and even nirvana, whether he can get in or not depends on the opponent's defense, but only on my touch. , This kind of person who can change his shooting posture in the air has invincible coordination and is the most difficult to guard against.

The Suns attacked, and Marbury advanced to the frontcourt, signaling to pull away.

At the top of the arc, Marbury shook Payton half a step away and forced his way in.

But Payton made a small move in his hand and dragged it, but Marbury didn't rush up.

This time, at the free throw line, he immediately encountered a double team from Payton and Devin George, and then Malone also rushed up from the low post to form a triple team.

"Here, Stephen!"

Li Ba yelled and immediately came up to meet him.

He "saw" the ball moving around in the crowd, and suddenly heard Marbury's exclamation, and then "saw" that the ball was in Malone's hands, and he had already circled behind Marbury.

Ma Longqiang grabbed the ball and immediately turned sideways to face the frontcourt, holding the ball with both hands, and wanted to hand it to Payton beside him.

But just as he turned sideways, a pair of big hands appeared in front of his eyes.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba clasped his palms together, forming a scramble with Ma Long.

"Give me!"

With a deep shout, before the whistle sounded, Li Ba made a strong grab, and the basketball came out of Malone's hands immediately.

Ma Long was not ready, did not exert all his strength, and the ball in his hand was forcibly robbed.

This is a tiger's mouth grabbing food, how can he bear it?

Under the rage, he saw a pair of extremely cold eyes staring at him fiercely, and pointed the tip of two big elbows at him. He immediately grunted, clenched his fists, and clenched his teeth.

He couldn't bear it. In case of a conflict, the idiots like O'Neal and Kobe would not help him. He had to fight the Suns alone.

Li Ba raised the ball above his head with both hands, pointed his elbows outward, glared at Ma Long, and waited for him to come up. He turned around and elbowed him, but he didn't expect the opponent to be soft. He snorted and handed the ball back to Ma Long. Stephon Marbury.

"Haha, Hammer, your elbow is harder than his, so you have to do this to him!" In the front row, Jordan burst into laughter.

"Calm down, this is playing basketball, there is no personal grievance." Zhang Liyi breathed a sigh of relief and explained.

"There are ghosts without personal grievances. I don't believe that Ma Long doesn't hate Hammer." Yu Jia complained in his heart.

Marbury received the ball, and Li Ba made him a wall to block Payton. The former didn't break through and ran out of time. He jumped directly behind the latter and made a high two-point shot.

"Shua!" Two points hit.

49:42, the Suns trailed by 7 points.
