Chapter 935 Extreme Defense

Kobe caught the ball, turned around and jumped up, when Marion pounced again.

Facing the hacker's block, Kobe's eyes didn't waver at all, and it was frighteningly cold. He lay back in the air, his seemingly constant wrist without any trembling, shook forward slightly, and took the shot.

The moment he landed, Kobe turned around while looking at the basket.

In the next moment, as the basket went into the basket, he took a step forward and returned to defense.

At this time, he noticed that Li Ba on the left wing was about to get down, so he accelerated as hard as he could and moved toward the center.

For these two goals, Li Ba had to defend against Dayao in the low post and Artest on the three-point line on the left wing. Therefore, he could not help defend the attack on the right wing, but it was also because the Lakers The offensive formation was spread out, but when the offense and defense transitioned, he could not stop his fast break.

This time, he came down again.

This time it was Ginobili's quick serve and the ball came over.

But at this moment, Kobe caught up with him and leaned over from the left.

The ball was a little high and just a little to the left. Li Ba jumped and grabbed the ball with his left hand.

When he landed, Kobe slapped his hand hard. The ball was knocked away and the whistle sounded.

The beater fouled, the number of fouls was not reached, and the ball was served from the sideline.

At this time, Phil Jackson called Artest on the side and said to him: "Tell everyone, don't open up, go to the basket on both offense and defense, and don't let him play fast breaks again."

The offense restarted, Rondo caught the ball and pulled it to the top of the key, and he was let go.

Marion pulled Duncan to the right corner.

Ginobili was active on the right three-point line, taking Kobe with him.

Tony Allen entered the left wing after serving. He, who has average shooting ability, was also left open.

Li Ba dragged Dayao and Artest to move continuously, and then Parker blocked him on the side. He was double-teamed by three people in the paint area.

There were three people surrounding the wall, which made it difficult for him to run away.

This is also his weakness, because even if he has shooting ability, it is only close to the basket, and at most there is a high shot. If the attack distance is too far, he can only run in the paint area. If he runs outside, he will have no offensive threat.

"When Shane is about to go up, he must change into it immediately." Zhang Lili shouted.

At this moment, Li Ba suddenly raised his right hand and made a tactical gesture.

As soon as the gesture came out, Tony Allen on the left wing suddenly ran towards the paint area.

At the same time, Ginobili started from the right wing and also ran towards the paint area.

The two rushed towards the paint area and asked for the ball from the top of the key.

This time, the defensive attention of the three people surrounding Li Ba was distracted.

Because at the edge of the paint, not to mention Ginobili, even Tony Allen is capable of attacking.

As the defensive attention of the three was distracted, Li Ba got space, made a sudden turn, and rushed from Dayao to the basket.

And just when he turned around, according to the tactical requirements, Rondo pushed with both hands and passed the ball.

When left open, there was no delay in his passing.

The ball flew over Dayao's head. He turned around to chase Li Ba but didn't see it.

But Li Ba "saw" it. He rose up, grabbed the ball with both hands, and pressed it forward instantly. With a bang, the Lakers' basket was smashed.

50:68, a score difference of 18 points.

"The Lakers are desperate to double-team the Hammers. Even Rondo was completely left empty-handed. This is not okay, right?"

Yu Jia complained.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The Lakers probably think that with so many people in the paint, Rondo can't attack if he is left open, so there is no threat. But Rondo is a point guard, he mainly organizes offense and passes the ball."

Lakers offense.

In addition to Kobe Bryant and Parker who advanced in the backcourt, Dayao, Duncan, and Artest all entered the paint area.

"Keep double-teaming Kobe!" Li Ba yelled.

Zhang Liyi shouted at this time: "The Lakers want to use this method to force the Suns to stop double-teaming Kobe, otherwise they will use more in the paint area to defeat less, but the Suns have to double-team Kobe and at the same time implement a half-court attack on Parker." Press hard and make it more difficult to organize an attack. The two sides are going against each other!"

"Sean, double-team Parker!" Li Ba shouted again.

Marion was startled at first, but immediately rushed to the center line.

The consequence of this behavior is that Li Ba wants to challenge three people in the paint area, and it is Duncan, Dayao, and Artest. This surprises everyone. Is it possible?

Parker, who had not yet passed the halfway line, saw Marion leaving the paint area. Without any hesitation, he passed Rondo in front and passed the ball to the paint area to Duncan on the outside.

But just when he got out of the way of Rondo and before he could pass the ball, Li Ba suddenly broke away from Artest's hand and jumped from Dayao to Duncan in front.

Dayao pulled him, but Li Ba swept him away with his arm.

All this was intentional on his part. He gave Parker a chance to pass the ball. Duncan was outside and the two were most familiar with each other. Parker would definitely pass the ball to Duncan, and the pass that reached ten meters away would also give him the time he needed.

He doesn't have to look at the ball, he's moving full force, he's locked onto Duncan and the ball, and he's closing in on the target.

Duncan caught the ball, raised his hands, turned to face the basket, and was about to pass it to Dayao. At this moment, a figure flashed in his eyes, and the basketball that was raised upward was suddenly lifted into the air by a force.

"Steal the ball!"

Buckley roared suddenly excitedly.

Li Ba just flicked the basketball, turned around after landing, and caught Duncan behind him.

He knew exactly where the ball was, it was right above his head, but Duncan didn't know. Duncan needed to look up, so his position was smooth.

The next moment, he, Yao and Artest took off at the same time, grabbing the basketball with several big hands at the same time.

"Got it!"

Buckley roared excitedly.

At the last moment, top-notch athleticism determined everything. Li Ba grabbed the ball with one hand by virtue of his bounce speed and bounce height, turned around when he landed, and broke out of the three-man blockage.

As soon as he broke out of the three-man siege, he was like a dragon swimming in the sea, and the Lakers could no longer stop him.

Parker wanted to lean in and steal Li Ba's ball, but Rondo pulled him to the right, opened his hand for the ball, and pulled him away.

Kobe tried his best to catch up, but Ginobili was not slow either and deliberately blocked him on the right side, preventing him from leaning towards the center.

Li Ba rushed into the paint area, took off after one step, held the ball with both hands, and smashed it towards the basket.

"boom!"

The violent sound of hitting the basket instantly caused the basket frame to sink, and also instantly made the American West Arena ebullient.

"Yeah. A super dunk, it came from the Hammer's performance!" The Suns' home commentator's roar echoed throughout the American West Arena.

Li Ba landed and yelled at his running teammates: "Brothers, let's beat them in one quarter! Press the whole court."

"Yes, boss!"

All the Suns players shouted in unison.

"Defend! Defend! Defend..."

Huge roars rang out from the American West Arena, and the atmosphere at the Suns' home court was burning to the extreme.

"Extreme defense! The Suns are showing extreme defense..."

When he saw Li Ba standing in front of the baseline, Barkley roared with excitement.
