Chapter 298 Your Territory Is Being Trampled on by Me
The Lakers attacked, Payton went to the right side, and formed a triangle offensive front with Malone and Devin George.
He thinks it is better to play here. The Suns power forward Voskull can only be blown up by Malone on both ends of the offense and defense. He is more sure than playing on the left wing.
He gave the ball to George and took Marbury to the right corner.
Devin George passed the ball to Malone and immediately started cutting.
Marbury directly threw Payton away, because Payton is average in three-pointers, and now he averages no one per game. He went to double-team Malone.
George saw it and immediately blocked Marbury in the short right corner.
This is the first cover.
After blocking Marbury, George immediately turned around, ran to the low post on the right wing, stood behind Voskull, and made a second pick-and-roll screen.
Using George's pick-and-roll, Malone turned effortlessly into the paint.
At this time, Li Ba was defending the basket, and O'Neal was on the side. He suddenly turned around and blocked him behind him. This was the third covering action of the Lakers in this offense.
"boom!"
The unguarded Malone dunked his arms heavily, and the Suns rim trembled wildly.
Under the basket are Li Ba, who was dunked, and O'Neal, who was dunked with him.
"Aw!"
After dunking the ball, he finally returned a double dunk. The excited Ma Long landed and roared at Li Ba.
This was a foul move, but the referee behind him didn't seem to see it. The referee was a little farther away and didn't respond in time.
"Go away!"
With a roar, Li Ba took a step forward and slammed his palms on Ma Long's chest.
Unprepared, Ma Long staggered back, couldn't stabilize, landed on his hips, and slipped two meters backwards.
"Oh!!!!" Staples exclaimed.
"Haha, the fun is on!"
In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley jumped up excitedly.
"Oops!"
In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili groaned and stood up too.
"Fack!"
How could Ma Long bear this, he got up and rushed towards Li Ba.
"Come on, chop suey, why don't we perform a beating. I'll beat you!"
Li Ba didn't have a second reaction. With a move of his left hand, he hooked his fingers directly at Ma Long while spouting trash talk.
Malone's face twitched and he stopped.
"Calm down! The ring is important! I'm not a professional fighter, so I can't be fooled by him!" He frantically found a reason for himself.
"NONONO, calm down..."
On one side, O'Neill yelled again and again, but he was backing away.
"Damn postman! Damn hammer! They are the most annoying big pests..."
Outside, Kobe scolded and was almost on the sidelines. If the fight started, he swore that as soon as Li Ba looked at him, he would run away immediately.
At this time, the referee came over with a whistle, but he didn't dare to intervene directly between the two.
The players on the two teams reacted oppositely. The other four players of the Suns all surrounded them, but none of the Lakers came up.
The referee made a verdict and gave Ma Long and Li Ba each a technical foul and a free throw each.
"What the hell, idiot, if you don't want to do something, don't show your prestige in front of the uncle!" Li Ba cursed at Ma Long.
"Shet!"
Malone's teeth were bleeding from his teeth. He swore that he would learn to fight after he retired. He couldn't stand the humiliation.
"The hammer is really good!"
On the sidelines, Jay Chou wiped the sweat off his brow and said.
"Impulsive! Impulsive!"
There was no fight, Dayao breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think it's a good fight. It's not that he can't win the fight. His bones are very hard. Anyway, he shouldn't be able to win this series. He injured No. 11 and made his wish come true. Who made him provoke him? "
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuanyuan said so on the side.
Dayao and Jay Chou looked at each other in blank dismay, it seems that Tie Hammer likes you for a reason, both belong to a character that does not suffer and is particularly tough.
On the field, the Suns made a free throw first, followed by James Posey.
His free throw rate is 82%, the highest among players on the field, 78% for Marbury, and 81% for Marion.
Unfortunately, the ball missed the free throw.
Next, the Lakers made free throws, and Malone personally made the free throws. With a 74% shooting rate in his career, he actually made the free throws.
11:7, the Lakers trailed by 4 points.
The Lakers called a timeout.
Phil Jackson said: "Shaq, Karl, rebounding, you are super insiders, I hope you know the importance of rebounding."
The two blushed for a while, lowered their heads and wiped away their sweat.
Timeout returns, the Suns attack.
Marbury missed a long shot from the outside, Malone grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers attacked. Payton deliberately avoided the left wing with the strongest defense inside the Suns, and still looked for Malone on the right wing.
Malone catches the ball, and Voskur desperately hits behind.
The Suns never belonged to an iron-blooded team before, but after Li Ba took over, he injected this factor into it. The quality of defense can't be said. Facing Malone, Voskull dared to fight.
He knows that he has no talent, and daring to fight is the only thing he can do now, and it is also the most important foundation for him to sign the next contract.
This time, after Devin George passed the ball to Malone, he still chose to cut in and then made an offensive screen. Marbury was blocked by him. When he was about to enter the low post for the second screen, Marion rushed over and put He defended.
In this way, Malone has no chance to use the pick-and-roll to get an open position, and Voskul must be solved.
It's no problem for him, back arching off the dribble.
Voskull took half a step back, Malone stepped into the paint area, and arched again.
But this time was different, he raised his elbow, and by arching his back, his right elbow hit Voskul's chest.
This kind of elbow movement is also a relatively routine movement in the league at present, especially in the playoffs. It is lethal and saves energy.
Voskull retreated in pain, and when he was about to grit his teeth and go forward again, Malone turned around.
At the basket, Li Ba was fighting for a position with O'Neal. Just when Malone turned around, he suddenly gave up the position, turned sideways, pressed O'Neal, and rushed to the low position on the right wing.
And at this moment, Ma Long completed his turn, jumped up, and shot from close to the basket.
But what came oncoming was a big hat.
"Snapped!"
The basketball flew upside down and went straight out.
"Oh, the mailman with the hammer and blood hat!" The sun team commentator suddenly roared.
"Remember, No. 11, don't come to my territory, both offensive and defensive ends, as long as the painted floor is mine."
After Li Ba blocked Ma Long, he sent him another trash talk, which made Ma Long's face turn red.
The Lakers attack again and serve from the sideline.
One ball for one ball, Payton gave Malone.
Li Ba tried to help defend again. When he ran to the basket, O'Neal entangled him with all his strength, making him unable to help defend smoothly. After Malone backed Voskull, he stepped on the edge of the paint and made a two-pointer.
11:9, the Lakers trailed by 2 points.
"Your territory is being trampled by me!" Ma Long sneered at Li Ba after making a shot.
"Come again!" Li Ba said coldly.
