Chapter 854 Leading

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said: "The Lakers' offensive firepower is too strong, and there are too many people who need to double-team. The defense of the Suns is very difficult today. So far, after several balls have been hit, there has not been a single double-team defense."

Yu Jia said, "Because my own people dare not let go."

The timeout ends, the game begins, and the Lakers attack.

Duncan moved to the basket again, and Marion could only stick to his upper side to defend.

But Duncan immediately pushed up Marion with his strength, took a step forward, and vacated the basket.

At this time, the alien passed the ball to the basket, Duncan received the ball, sent the ball to the basket, and hit a ball.

"Dayao is in the short corner area, and he is too restrained on the hammer." Zhang Li sighed.

While he was speaking, Li Ba and Artest had a physical collision.

When Li Ba saw Duncan drive Marion under the basket and saw the alien pass the ball, he knew that the ball was hopeless.

Cassell's passing speed is too fast, he can barely return to the basket, and can be in place in two steps, but Duncan is under the basket, and his shots are simple and fast, so he will not be left with a chance.

So, he immediately started to start the fast down.

Artest's main task was to keep an eye on Li Ba. When he saw him move, he moved too, and quickly rushed to the middle.

The two collided at the free throw line.

At the moment of impact, the two fell apart.

Li Ba staggered forward to the left, and then started the first step again, rushing to the top of the arc.

Artest staggered back a step, and when he restarted to chase, he could only see Li Ba's taillights.

The contact time between the two was too short, and there was no time left for Duncan and Yao'er to return to defense. The Lakers' fast break defense this time was considered a failure.

But at this time Kobe chose to foul, hugged Li Ba, and stopped his fast break.

"Look, this is the gap between the two. The first step of the hammer's start is too fast, and Artest can't keep up with the rhythm. He can block the first time, but he can't block the second time."

Zhang Lili said excitedly.

On the sidelines, Frank was discussing defensive tactics with Ron Adams.

"Frank, Payton is still old, and his defense against Cassel is not in place. Substitute." Adams said.

Frank's coaching ability is actually mediocre, but he is good at what he does. He nodded immediately and said, "Let Rondo play?"

"Rondo is fast and defends fiercely, just to deal with Cassel." Adams said.

"Okay, let's do it," Frank said.

Taking advantage of this dead ball, Payton was replaced, Rondo played, and took the No. 1 position.

Sun attack.

"See how this positional battle will be fought?" Zhang Lili said.

Marion took Duncan out and moved around on the flank.

On the left wing, Li Ba walked towards the basket, facing Dayao.

Dayao's lower body strength is indeed great, Li Ba suddenly turned around, broke through the former, and rushed to the basket.

Although Rondo is a rookie, his passing ability is really good. After throwing off the old Cassel, he threw the ball to the basket with one hand.

Since the 0304 season, the lob between Li Ba and Marbury's Iron Horse combination has been a frequent visitor to the league's top five balls. As a point guard, Rondo has watched it many times. Now he can finally pass Such a ball was played, and it was passed to Li Ba.

"boom!"

Grabbing the ball with one hand and dunking, Li Ba slammed into the Lakers basket.

8:6, the Suns lead.

"Beautiful Ba's lob! Rondo's pass is in place!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"It's better than Barbosa's pass." Yu Jia laughed.

"Now the Suns and the Lakers can't defend each other, let's see who has better scoring ability." Zhang Lili said.

"It's still very difficult for Dayao to defend against the hammer. He can't keep up when he turns around, and he can't keep up with the first step either." Yu Jia said.

The Lakers attack.

Bryant took advantage of Duncan's cover and went into the paint.

Cassel passed the ball, but was interfered by Rondo, and the pass was a little slower.

Li Ba seized this time and quickly returned to defend the basket. As soon as Kobe received the ball, he defended the latter's side.

Kobe is a top shot, but he has taken so many caps from Li Ba in the past few seasons, how dare he single-handedly play Li Ba under the basket?

He didn't dare to pass to Dayao behind Li Ba, but he turned around, caught Li Ba behind, and passed to Duncan.

In the low position on the right wing, Duncan squeezed away Marion, caught the ball and hit the board.

But this time Li Ba hit the rebound, how could there be room for Duncan's rebound?

He forcibly squeezed Kobe out of the way, raised his figure, stretched his extra-long arms upwards, and directly slapped Duncan's cricket on the backboard, getting his first block of the night.

This is also Duncan's shortcoming. He doesn't feel as good as Yao, Garnett, and Gasol. His shooting ability is not good, which gives Li Ba a chance to block shots.

Sun attack.

Rondo ran ahead of Cassel, received a pass from Li Ba, then quickly advanced to the basket and hit a layup.

10:6, the Suns lead.

Phil Jackson discovered the second loophole in this lineup, which is still insufficient to defend against fast breaks, because the alien Cassell is too old and too slow. He can play Payton, but he is slower than Rondo, a rookie. .

In this way, as long as Kobe rushes in, once the offense and defense switch, the Lakers will suffer.

If the Suns stare at Cassell's weakness in the playoffs, the Lakers will suffer a lot.

"The Suns put super giants like Payton on the bench for three seasons, and chose to train newcomers like Barbosa and Rondo. Why do I have to use Cassel?"

At this time, he had the idea of ​​finding another main point guard.

The Lakers attack.

The alien holds the ball and enters the left wing. Below him is Artest, and below him is Dayao.

Pointing at the alien, Li Ba shouted at Rondo: "Jane, post him!"

As long as Rondo delays Cassell's pass by half a second, he can get back to the basket without leaving Yao open.

"Yes, boss."

Jiang Duo responded while posting Kassel.

Cassel hit Rondo with his back, which is very uncomfortable.

Rondo's long hands and wingspan have advantages, which makes his dribbling must be far away from the body, and the ball protection function is not strong.

Pointing to the alien, Li Ba glanced at Battier. The latter understood, left Artest immediately, and rushed towards the alien, starting the first double-team tonight.

"here."

Artest, who was emptied, immediately shouted and opened his hands for the ball.

Li Ba locked the "ball" tightly, and when he "saw" the ball moving backwards with one of the alien's sideways, he immediately rushed towards Artest.

"careful!"

Dayao at the bottom said anxiously at this moment.

As soon as Artest received the ball, when he turned around to make a jump shot, two big hands suddenly put on the ball. He was not prepared enough, and the ball was snatched away by Li Ba in an instant.

Shane Battier and Rondo immediately turned around and went down quickly.

Artest, who conceded the ball, immediately stepped forward to stop Li Ba from passing the ball. The latter blocked with his right arm and threw the ball to Rondo with his left hand.

In the frontcourt, the Suns formed a three-on-one, with Rondo, Battier, and Ginobili playing Kobe alone, and finally Ginobili made a layup.

12:6, the Suns continue to lead.
