Chapter 885 Crack
The sun started a positional battle.
The offensive tactics deployed by Frank were to open up and let Li Ba attack hard in the low post.
According to Frank's idea, first try the outside touch, whether it can be pulled away or not, and then change.
Marion was pulled to the right-wing three-point line, which was also very uncomfortable for the Lakers. Dayao definitely couldn't keep up, so Duncan had to follow, and then Dayao defended Li Ba alone in the low post.
"If the Suns can open up the outside today, the Lakers will really be in trouble. Dayao will definitely not be able to defend against the hammer alone, and he will not be able to keep up."
Zhang Lili shouted.
At this time, Rondo at the top of the arc suddenly pulled to the left wing.
Cassell is old and has not kept up.
The next moment, with the left wing low, Li Ba suddenly turned around and entered the paint area.
Like Cassel, Dayao was too slow with his feet and lost the ball.
Rondo passed the ball, Li Ba caught the ball, took a step forward, jumped, banged, dunked with one arm, and smashed the ball into the basket.
4:2, the Suns lead.
"Next, the Lakers will have to help defend and double-team the basket, otherwise Dayao will be beaten with a hammer today."
Zhang Lili shouted.
"Then it depends on the Suns' touch on the outside. Once the touch is good, the Lakers will not dare to let out on the outside, and then they will not be able to double-team the Hammers. The Hammers can control the offensive rebounds and play a high-efficiency secondary offense. Even if the touch is good, the Lakers will not be able to double-team the Hammers. If you are restricted on the defensive end, you can also make up for the losses on the offensive end." Yu Jiadao.
Lakers offense.
Duncan and Artest were active in the paint area, deliberately blocking Li Ba's movement.
Even though there were only two more people, it would be very troublesome for Li Ba to go out to help defend, and he had to go around.
But many times, the opportunity to assist defense only lasts for a moment. If it is delayed for a moment, the opportunity to assist defense will disappear.
Yao is still in the high position and Kobe is on the right wing.
In this way, the Lakers' offensive formation is all in the paint area and the right wing, and the left wing is empty.
"Double team!"
At this time Li Ba suddenly roared.
It was Battier who responded to him. Without hesitation, he let Artest go and pounced on Dayao.
This is a tactic discussed by the Suns to break the opponent's blocking tactics.
As soon as Battier left, the basket suddenly became a little empty.
"Ouch, are the Hammers planning to challenge one against two at the basket? Artest has a basket, what if he pulls him out?" Zhang Lili shouted.
At this time, at the three-point line on the right wing, Kobe immediately changed direction, cut into the wing, and asked for the ball at the top of the arc.
At the same time, the three seconds of the attack were almost up. Artest, who was left open, pulled low to the left wing and asked for the ball at the top of the key.
At the same time, when the two men started, Li Ba moved to the right wing and made preparations to help defend on the right wing.
Of course, it was also because of the three seconds of defense that if the offensive team left, he had to go out too.
At this time, he actually had to choose to go to the low post on the left wing, because when Artestra got there, it was open.
But he took a gamble, betting on the defensive qualities of Battier and Rondo, or trusting the defensive qualities of his two teammates.
When defending the ball holder and point guard at the top of the arc, the first thing to block is the passing line in the low post at the top of the arc.
Battier and Rondo are now double-teaming Cassel. If they can't block the passing route at the top of the key and in the low post, it won't be his problem.
If teammates block the line between the top of the arc and the low post, then there is only one person at the top of the arc who can pass the ball, and that is Kobe on the wing.
Like him, Duncan followed him out of the paint because of the three seconds of attack.
Rondo's movement speed overwhelmed Cassel. The latter's pass was affected and he failed to pass the ball immediately. At this time, Battier pounced on him from the high position, but at this time he also retreated. He opened the distance between him and Rondo and passed the ball to Kobe.
He wanted to pass to Dayao in the high post and Artest in the low post, but Rondo and Battier were right in front, making it difficult to pass, so he could only pass to the wings.
At this moment, on the right edge of the paint area, Li Ba, who had been well prepared, broke away from Duncan's control and pounced on Kobe.
The two were only two steps apart. As soon as the ball reached Kobe's hand, Li Ba's big hand poked over and knocked the ball away from Kobe's smaller hand.
Ginobili, who was chasing behind, leaned over to pick up the ball, turned around and almost dropped it.
"Beautiful! Iron Hammer has found a way to break the human sea tactic!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
At this time, Kobe caught up with Ginobili, who passed the ball to Rondo in the middle. Rondo surpassed Cassel by two meters and made a layup.
6:2, the Suns lead.
Yu Jia continued excitedly: "It is to first let your teammates leave the basket, double-team the ball holder, and force the opponent to give up and leave the basket. This is the same as the offensive end, which is to open up the opponent through the outside line."
"Yes, yes, that's it. One is to open up the opponent through three-pointers, and the other is to open up the opponent by double-teaming the ball carrier."
Zhang Lili smiled.
On the sidelines, Frank laughed and said to Adams: "Ron, it's done!"
Adams smiled and nodded.
On the sidelines, on the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson began to circle his thumb, and his mind was also circling fiercely.
He decided to play another round or two and see.
Lakers offense.
Battier first followed Artest in the paint. At this time, Cassel was close to the top of the arc, and he immediately pounced on him.
"Londo, stick to him!"
At the same time, Li Ba shouted.
Rondo immediately posted Cassel, forcing the opponent to pass the ball immediately, creating an opportunity for Battier to double-team.
The two paid special attention to blocking Cassell's passing line with the basket to prevent him from passing the ball in, allowing the Lakers to form a two-on-one situation under the basket.
On the right wing, Kobe moves quickly to get out of the open space to catch the ball.
Under the basket, unable to wait for the pass, and with three seconds approaching, Duncan and Artest had no choice but to withdraw from the paint area first.
Through this tactic of actively double-teaming the ball carrier, the Suns once again broke the Lakers' tactic.
When evacuating, Li Ba once again chose to trust his teammates and ignored Duncan and Artest, but pounced on Kobe.
No matter what, there are definitely not many opportunities to pass the ball from the top of the key, because double teams are about to form, and Duncan and Artest have few opportunities to catch the ball. He can take a gamble.
"Ron, pull away a little."
Duncan followed Li Ba and retreated to the right edge of the paint area. At the same time, he pointed to the left wing and shouted to Artest.
This means that Artest has a mid-range shot. If he stretches out a little further, he not only still has the basket, but can also create opportunities for wing passes at the top of the key.
But there was no time. Cassel saw Li Ba rushing towards Kobe and did not dare to pass it. It was only delayed for half a second. Battier came up and a double team was formed.
Li Ba immediately changed direction and rushed to the top of the arc, launching a three-man double-team.
"This defense is really strong!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
Cassel held the ball in his arms and turned it back and forth, but soon Li Ba arrived, and under the three-man double-team, the ball was lost.
"Li Ba got the ball...Kobe Bryant returned to defense...The Suns beat more and less...Ginobili made a near-basket jumper!"
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley yelled continuously.
