Chapter 731 So Can the Spurs and the Heat Limit the Fast Break of the Hammers?

"Hoho..."

Panting for breath, Dayao stopped at the top arc.

"Obviously, once the Suns play this deadly fast break, the Lakers can't defend at all." Barkley said.

"What if you don't double-team the Hammers?" Kenny Smith said.

"Whether it's Kobe or Walton, can they defend against such a powerful hammer alone? Impossible!"

Barkley laughed.

The Lakers attack again.

Kobe asked for the ball again, but this time Marbury didn't give it to him. He made the shot himself. One step away from the top of the arc, he shot directly.

With a bang, the ball was also hit.

66:58, the Lakers trailed by 8 points.

"Wow, at the critical moment, Marbury also made a three-pointer." Yu Jia shouted.

"If both he and Kobe can get up to speed, then there is still some suspense in this game." Zhang Lili said.

"Yes, if the Lakers' shooting percentage goes up, not only can their own score go up, but it will also allow the Hammers to grab fewer rebounds, indirectly reduce the Suns' scoring, and kill two birds with one stone." Yu Jia said.

As soon as the Lakers' ball passed the basket, Li Ba immediately slammed it down and started the fast break again.

"It's certain, the Suns have started fast-break tactics again." Barkley said with certainty.

At this time, the commentator of the Suns was screaming: "Marion served, Barbosa was entangled by Marbury, Battier caught the ball and passed it to Tony Allen, Tony went up the court and passed it!"

Li Ba carried Kobe and Walton into the paint once again, when the ball came, he caught the ball below the free throw line and was entangled by the two when it landed.

At this time, Battier has rushed to the left-wing three-point line, and he is completely open.

Li Ba immediately passed the ball, turned around and rushed to the basket.

"Battier made an open shot... no, it was a pass!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Li Ba bypassed Kobe, and as soon as he reached the basket, the ball was passed. He flew up, grabbed the ball with both hands, and smashed it into the basket with a bang.

68:58, the Suns led by 10 points.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe asked for the ball, this time Marbury passed.

Kobe made another three-pointer, but this time he missed. Li Ba grabbed the rebound, gave it to Barbosa, and immediately rushed to the frontcourt.

Dayao tried his best to return to the defense, but was thrown off by Li Ba at the top of the arc.

"Hey, Dayao ran back and forth, and he couldn't catch the ball on the offensive end. It's completely meaningless to consume physical energy." Seeing this scene, Zhang Lili sighed.

In the frontcourt, the Suns formed again to play more and play less.

Kobe and Walton wanted to close the door to block, but this time Li Ba suddenly turned to the right in front of the free throw line, dodged the block of the two, and rushed towards the basket along an arc.

At this time Barbosa's pass came.

Li Ba jumped up to catch the ball, knocked away Kobe who was blocking the block in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.

At 70:58, the Suns began to slowly expand the point difference.

"Kobe, you can't stop me."

Li Ba fell to the ground and sprayed at Kobe on the floor with a cold face.

"Bastard, you wait for me!"

Kobe sat up from the floor, gritted his teeth and sprayed back.

The Lakers attack.

Marbury didn't give Kobe the ball when he asked for it, but he didn't shoot himself.

At this time, Battier immediately defended Dayao, and Dayao's expression did not change. When the former rushed forward, he shot a jumper.

With a sound of swiping, he hit a ball hollowly.

Li Ba was right under the basket, and immediately retreated to the bottom line after receiving the ball. At this time, all the Suns players immediately stepped off.

Barbosa was the most prominent in the middle. Because of Marbury's breakthrough, there was no one around him to defend. Just after passing the center line, he received a pass from Li Ba and then advanced at full speed.

Kobe desperately cut to the middle from the left wing, but his speed was only a little faster than Barbosa, and he still couldn't catch up.

In the end, Barbosa made a layup.

"The Suns' fast break is really the same as the Knicks' run and gun, but they also have the strongest defense, and the offense and defense are too balanced.

What I want to say is that before the playoffs, even if the Suns swept the Mavericks, the outside world is still not optimistic about the Suns. This is really a huge mistake. "

Buckley shook his head.

"Now it seems that this Suns team, even if it doesn't have a ball-handling superstar or the ability to attack and score, but it has the best fast break ability, the strongest defensive system and the strongest defender. Its strength, just like the hammer said, it is really qualified to defend the title, no one has the right to look down on them."

Kenny Smith said.

Barkley said: "The main reason is that we didn't expect the Suns to raise the fast break tactics to the level of the main tactics, or even the strategic level that determines the outcome.

They used this fast break with a very high success rate to increase their scoring efficiency, coupled with the Hammer's rebounds and the possession of the ball by defense, this is why once this tactic is played, facing With the Big Three like the Lakers, the reason why the Suns can still score high every game. "

In the next third quarter, Kobe asked for the ball every time he attacked, but Marbury stepped up and didn't give Kobe alone, but distributed part of the ball to Dayao.

In fact, Dayao's shooting percentage was not bad. In the third quarter, he made 3 of 6 shots and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 9 points.

And Kobe made 3 of 7 shots, 1 three-pointer, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 11 points.

The two teamed up to score 24 points in the third quarter. In addition, Marbury scored 5 points on 1 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. The Big Three scored 25 points together.

Of course, they also took almost all of the Lakers' possession of the ball. The others added up to only 2 shots, and Vujacic made a two-pointer.

The Lakers made 18 shots in the whole quarter, made 8 shots, and scored 27 points.

This efficiency is actually not bad, regardless of the shooting percentage or scoring, it is considered very high in the playoffs.

But in front of the Suns, he couldn't make a move.

Relying on the control of rebounds and strong fast breaks, the Suns increased the number of shots to a full 28 times, which was 10 times higher than the Lakers in a single quarter. Among them, there were 23 fast breaks, and 17 of them were scored. The success rate is amazing. .

Relying on this performance, the Suns scored 43 points in a single quarter, relying on top-level defense and strong fast break ability, and beat the Lakers in one quarter.

104:79, the Suns broke 100 in three quarters, leading by 25 points.

"Everyone underestimated the Suns." After this quarter, Barkley said.

"No, it's not that I underestimated the Suns, but underestimated the Hammers. No matter the defensive end or the fast break tactics, he is the core of it. Without him, the Suns would no longer be the Suns." Kenny Smith said.

Nodding, Barkley said seriously: "Yes, in this series, the Hammers have shown a strong scoring ability.

Of course, this kind of scoring ability in fast breaks also has weaknesses, but it is precisely that the Lakers have no players who can target this weakness and limit the fast breaks of the Hammers, so the failure of the Lakers is inevitable. "

"So I want to ask now, can the Spurs limit the fast break of the Hammer? The Pistons and Heat, who are most likely to enter the finals in the East, can they limit the fast break of the Hammer?"

Kenny Smith posed a question of interest to all.
