Chapter 1042 Tactical Error

Kobe landed unsteadily and fell, while Li Ba turned around and ran down with the ball.

Parker chased after him, and Li Ba passed the ball to Kevin Martin, who quickly advanced, and Parker chased after him again.

Kevin Martin rushed to the left wing three-point line, stopped suddenly and stood up, shaking Parker behind him, and then stood up again.

Bang, missed.

But at this time Li Ba rushed in and grabbed the rebound.

At this time, Lakers Garnett and Artest returned to defense and immediately rushed in to double-team Li Ba. Li Ba passed the ball to Martin, who shot another three-pointer and made it this time.

"This ball should not have been passed when Tiechui was in the backcourt. He pushed forward and attacked by himself. Garnett and Artest might not be able to keep up, and he must be a step slower." Zhang Heli shouted.

"You need assists." Yu Jia said with a smile.

"Yes, you need assists. If the assists are not double, there is no chance of a five-double." Zhang Heshi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood and laughed.

The Lakers attacked, this time Kobe was on the court to support Parker, and the two advanced to the front court, and Kobe took the ball directly.

Li Ba and Martin switched defense and faced Kobe.

"Kobe?" Phil Jackson shouted at this time.

Kobe understood that it was time to chase points, so he let him play in the interior, where the Lakers had the advantage.

At this time, he also knew that it was not time to challenge Li Ba, so he pulled to the top of the arc, dodged Li Ba, and passed the ball into the interior.

Garnett played against Gasol, leaned against him, and instantly jumped back.

When the ball was shot, Li Ba did not go in to grab the rebound. With Gasol and Dio's rebounding strength, it was still certain to protect the backcourt rebounds.

Of course, this certainty was not as great as his, but he could play a fast break without going in to grab the rebound.

Anyway, there are gains and losses, so it depends on how to choose between gains and losses.

He chose to give up some rebounds, play fast breaks, and improve offensive efficiency. This was his choice as a point guard.

When Garnett shot, he turned around.

Kobe quickly returned to defense, not caring whether he could make the shot or not.

He turned around after Li Ba turned around, a step slower.

Swish, when the two turned around and landed, the ball swiped past the basket.

"Hurry up!" Payton shouted on the sidelines.

"Return to defense!" The Lakers assistant coach yelled.

Gasol quickly picked up the ball and retreated to the baseline, dodged Garnett, and passed the ball.

The ball was also passed to Kobe, but Gasol believed that Li Ba could catch it.

Li Ba "saw" the ball coming from behind, a little high, in order to avoid Kobe, he was ready and began to adjust his pace.

When he rushed to the three-point line, Li Ba jumped up and grabbed the ball, and at this time, Kobe passed and blocked in front.

The moment he landed, he threw the ball over Kobe's head with one hand and threw the ball to the backboard.

When Kobe saw it, he immediately turned around and rushed to the paint area.

Li Ba took the first step at the fastest speed and rushed to the paint area.

At this time, with a bang, the ball hit the upper half of the backboard and bounced.

"Damn it!" Kobe cursed. The ball was too high. He had no space to jump and couldn't reach it by vertical jump.

At this time, he had lost the opportunity to turn around and stand, but Li Ba had come up behind him, and he felt a huge pressure.

Sure enough, with a bang, he heard a very heavy stomping sound behind him.

Then, the next moment, Li Ba emerged from his side, jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand, and then smashed it towards the basket.

"Bang!"

With a single-arm dunk, Li Ba smashed the Lakers' basket.

"Ah!"

A self-throw and self-dunk instantly ignited the American West Arena.

"Is this something a center can do? Oh, isn't this a job that guys like McGrady and Kobe can do?"

Barkley roared excitedly.

"Beautiful, this ball is really beautiful!" Yu Jia roared excitedly.

"Woo woo woo..."

On the sidelines, the little girl Guoguo jumped happily, opened her little arms and made the shape of an airplane, and her little mouth kept shouting.

In the first quarter, Li Ba did not attack much. In the second quarter, he played very excitedly, frequently fast breaks, 8 of 8 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 1 foul.

This foul was an offensive foul. He collided with Kobe in the fast break and was defended by Kobe.

But it was only this time. In 9 fast breaks, Kobe's defense and his defensive ability only defended one.

But in terms of rebounds, Li Ba did not contribute much, so the number of shots was not as many as in the first quarter, but the efficiency was high enough.

He did not have enough rebounds in the first quarter, because there were not many offensive rebounds, his offensive efficiency was too high, and the Lakers also strengthened the rebound protection.

In two quarters, he scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 7 steals, 7 blocks, 1 turnover, 2 fouls, and 5*5 data in the first half.

52:70, the Suns lost one point in the second quarter.

This result made the Lakers extremely disappointed. They tried their best to catch up with one point. How to catch up with the remaining 18 points?

In the third quarter, both teams played their best.

The Lakers wanted to catch up, but if they couldn't catch up in this quarter, they would give up, and the fourth quarter would be garbage time.

On the other hand, the entire Suns team wanted to help Li Ba get a five-double.

As a result, after the third quarter, Li Ba was still one assist short of a four-double.

Then, the Lakers gave up the game, and the game entered garbage time.

"Iron Hammer, I'll give you a chance. If you can't play in three quarters, I despise you if you play again!" Kobe walked over and said to Li Ba.

Li Ba laughed, nodded helplessly, and leaned back on the chair.

Kobe also shook his head helplessly and went back.

The result made him very disappointed, he still couldn't beat the Suns!

"well!"

Seeing that Li Ba was no longer playing, the audience sighed with regret.

"Dad, play ball..."

Guoguo ran over next to him, holding Li Ba's hand and trying to pull him to the court.

"Good boy, you can't hit me any more. Your uncle Kobe is going to hit someone." Li Ba laughed and picked up his daughter.

"Dad is not afraid!"

Guo Guo shook her little head and shouted.

Seeing the little appearance of his precious daughter, Li Ba fell in love with her.

At the end of the game, 95:125, the Lakers lost by a full 30 points.

In this game, such a big point difference was unexpected.

Before the game, the Suns shouted the slogan of sweeping the Lakers, and now they look extremely strong against the backdrop of this game.

Li Ba was interviewed at the scene.

"Hammer, what do you think of the Lakers' tactics in the first quarter today?" a reporter asked.

"I think the tactics in the first quarter were the basis for the Lakers' loss today." Li Ba said with a smile.

"You mean, the tactics in the first quarter were wrong?" the reporter asked.

"Of course, my hands are the most accurate and I never touch places I shouldn't. The Lakers wanted to foul me, but that's what I wanted to see. As you can see, it didn't succeed. "Li Ba said with a smile.

"How do you think we can beat the Suns, or how can we beat you?" another reporter asked.

"You asked me this question? Do I remember answering it before?" Li Ba said with a smile.

"Yes, there are media reports." The reporter said.
