Chapter 1350 Kobe, What Do You Want Me to Do?

At this time, Paul passed the ball, and Li Ba started at the edge of the paint area and rushed to A-Lian.

At the same time, A-Lian's receiving the ball was affected by Butler. Although he did not lose the ball, he could not turn around and jump shot immediately.

When he got the ball firmly, he turned around and dodged Butler. When he was about to jump shot, Li Ba rushed to the front one step away.

"Snap!"

When A-Lian raised the ball with both hands and was about to jump, Li Ba picked it up easily.

"Ouch, A-Lian was stolen by the hammer!" Zhang Heli exclaimed.

Li Ba turned around to block A-Lian, successfully grabbed the basketball, completed the steal, and then passed the ball to Butler, who immediately ran down.

Kobe was on the outside and wanted to stop Butler. The latter passed the ball back to Li Ba who followed behind. Li Ba received the ball, swept past Kobe, and strode to the front court.

"Bang!"

Li Ba rushed into the paint from the left elbow with the ball. Paul, who was returning from the middle, did not dare to block him. He flew up and dunked with one arm, smashing the ball into the Lakers' basket.

"Tony, don't let the hammer leave you easily." Mike Brown shouted.

Tony Allen glanced over here and nodded.

"Yi, move away a little." Mike Brown shouted at Alian again.

Alian nodded. The position just now was indeed too close to the hammer brother.

"Kobe, pay attention to the pick-and-roll screen." Brown shouted at Kobe again.

Kobe glanced and said nothing.

The Lakers attacked.

Li Ba was in the right elbow. Tony Allen, as an offensive player, did not ask for the ball, but entangled him.

At this time, Kobe took the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing, and Alian ran towards Kobe from the wing.

Li Ba's first reaction was to pounce on Kobe.

His judgment was that A-Lin was going to set a screen for Kobe, because he was inside, Kobe could not break through, but could only shoot three-pointers, so he had to double-team and force Kobe to shoot as soon as possible, and then he would return to defend the basket.

Tony Allen wanted to entangle Li Ba, but the difference in tonnage and strength was too great, and his first step was not as fast as Li Ba, so he was left behind after the first step.

When Kobe saw Li Ba rushing over, he dared not wait for A-Lin's screen, and could only force a three-pointer under George Hill's defense.

Just as he jumped, Li Ba braked, turned quickly, and rushed back to the basket.

"Bang!"

It was short, and the basketball hit the basket and bounced to the edge of the paint area on the right wing, just in time to be caught by Li Ba who rushed back.

The four guards of the two teams turned around immediately, and Li Ba personally carried the ball in the back and quickly rushed to the front court and implemented a fast break.

Tony Allen wanted to stop Li Ba's fast break at the midline, but the latter changed direction and easily knocked the former away, holding the ball and rushing to the front court and rushing to the top of the arc.

"Bang!"

After entering the paint area, Li Ba flew up and smashed the basket with one arm again.

The Lakers couldn't attack and called a timeout.

"0:6, the Lakers haven't scored yet. Under the defense of the Hammer, their offense has problems." Barkley shouted.

"The Lakers still have to solve the Hammer's outside defense. Tony Allen alone can't entangle the Hammer."

Kenny Smith said.

"Kenny, you are talking nonsense. The Hammer is not in the paint area, he is outside. How many people do you want to use to entangle him? The range of activities is increased, and he is fast. The inside line can't keep up. It is necessary to use a faster outside line to defend, but two people are not enough. Do the Lakers have to use three outside lines to deal with him?" Barkley complained.

"So on the defensive end, he is a BUG on the outside line, which is far more terrifying than LeBron James's threat on the offensive end." Kenny Smith laughed.

"Of course." Barkley laughed.

In front of the Lakers bench, Mike Brown was arranging offensive tactics:

"Kobe and Paul moved to a position where the Hammer could not assist in defense, Tony Allen assisted Dwight to deal with the rookie under the basket... Tony, that's a rookie, you have to try to foul him and knock him down.

Now we are playing a combination of inside and outside tactics, Dwight, you have to pay attention to the protection of rebounds, if the second attack opportunity is not good, pass the ball immediately... Tony is next to you, you can also let him handle it..."

The timeout ended, and the Lakers attacked.

Paul held the ball, did not go to the middle, went to the left wing and entered the frontcourt along the sideline, away from Li Ba's defense area.

Kobe was active on the right wing.

Tony Allen risked being trampled to death by the two centers and entangled with Drummond.

"Beep!"

It was good, Drummond bumped into Tony Allen while moving, and the latter fell down at the touch.

"Just do it." Mike Brown shouted excitedly.

"Boss, I didn't use any force." Drummond shouted to Li Ba aggrievedly.

"It's okay, just be careful." Li Ba said.

The Lakers served the ball from the sideline, and Paul was also far away from Li Ba, pulling to the left sideline.

Li Ba was active in the left elbow area of ​​the paint area, very close to the three-point line.

Bang, bang, bang, after several dribbles, Paul suddenly accelerated and rushed to the wing from the 40-degree position of the left three-point line.

Harden quickly turned around and followed the defense.

Li Ba also made a defensive move at the same time, forcing Paul to shoot immediately, and then he would return to the basket to control the rebound.

Paul really didn't dare to go deep into the wing. After a step into the three-point line, he immediately stopped and jumped.

The first ball missed, it was too long, the basketball hit the basket and hit the board, and the landing point was on the right side of the basket.

Li Ba returned to the paint area, predicted the landing point of the ball, and rushed over directly, grabbing the rebound over Tony Allen's head.

"Damn it!"

On the sidelines, Lakers coach Mike Brown gritted his teeth and cursed.

"This is the difference between inside and outside offense. Outside offense requires too much touch, and the hit rate difference is too big." Zhang He understood.

The Suns, the fast break failed, turned to positional warfare.

Drummond and Howard were in the basket, with the advantage of strength, and when he got to the position, he stuck the latter behind him.

Li Ba was in a high position and encountered early double-teaming by Alian and Tony Allen, but he still asked Harden for the ball.

Tony Allen just made Drummond foul, he wanted to return one, strengthen the impact on the Lakers' basket, and not let the Lakers seize the initiative.

Harden suddenly stepped back and lobbed the ball, Li Ba jumped up to catch the ball, and caught the ball through Tony Allen in front of him. The moment he landed, he used absolute strength to force a left turn, squeezed out the double-team, and rushed to the basket along an arc.

Alian also turned back to defend, and when Li Ba jumped up to attack the basket, he jumped up to block the shot.

"Bang!"

Li Ba held the ball with his right arm, accelerated and smashed it down, pressing down on A-Lian's left hand, and smashed the ball into the basket.

Beep, the referee blew the whistle and ran over, pointing at A-Lian, making a hand-fighting foul gesture.

Howard was stuck by Drummond and could only watch from the side. He had no motivation to fight with the latter.

Kobe was watching from outside with sparks in his eyes, and strode over to question Howard: "Hey, brother, can you defend harder? You can't let this rookie get stuck behind and do nothing."

"What do you want me to do?" Howard asked.
