Chapter 926 O’Neal’s Treatment: Double-Teaming in Advance

"Sean, double team the ball handler."

Li Ba still uses his old method. If you block me, I will challenge two of you, and then double-team your people.

In this way, as soon as Battier left, there was one less person under the basket, and then Parker began to face double teams.

Three seconds later, Li Ba left the paint area from the right wing and rushed towards Kobe from Duncan.

Parker faced a double-team, and was blocked by Rondo and Battier in the front. He couldn't pass in the low post. There was no one on the left, so he could only pass to Kobe on the right.

Kobe moved outside the three-point line and asked for the ball. At this time, Ginobili followed up. As soon as he caught the ball, he was blocked by the latter. At this time, he was two steps away from the three-point line.

He chose to fake a shot and make a real breakthrough. He got up, shook Ginobili, and then shorted and broke through from the right side.

But when he took one step forward and dribbled the ball with his left hand, he hit Li Ba with his head and lost control of the ball.

The whistle didn't sound, and Ginobili quickly picked up the ball from the floor, turned around and almost dropped it.

Kobe chased after him desperately, while Li Ba followed behind him.

Ginobili rushed to the frontcourt, and just as he reached the three-point line, there was a sudden stop. Kobe rushed over, and then turned around with a sudden stop.

Li Ba, who was behind Kobe, did not stop and rushed directly to the basket.

At this time, Ginobili passed the ball, and Li Ba jumped up without looking back, grabbed the ball with one hand, stretched out his bow, and smashed forward, hitting the Lakers' basket with a bang.

6:2, the Suns lead.

"Manu, nice pass!"

Li Ba landed and shouted back to Ginobili.

Ginobili smiled and returned to defense.

The Lakers attacked and called a timeout.

Barkley shouted at this time: "There are still problems with the Lakers' tactics. Rondo's defense is good. He created opportunities for Battier's double-teaming and cut off the connection between the top of the arc and the low post, which in turn provided the Hammers with help in defense." The conditions were created on the outside, with continuous double-teaming and defense, the Suns' defense is really too strong!"

Kenny Smith said: "Rondo is weak in offense and strong in defense. He can try to increase Parker's shots. Parker's shots with the Lakers are obviously less than those with the Spurs."

Barkley smiled and said: "Then which one of the Big Three will you ask to give him the right to take action?"

Kenny Smith laughed: "It turns out that the crowd tactics under the basket cannot really limit the Hammers, but instead provide opportunities for the Suns to double-team the Lakers' perimeter. Phil should immediately change the offensive tactics, Pat Riley's The tactic has failed."

Barkley said: "It can be used, but the top of the arc must pass the ball into the low post before Battier's double team, creating an opportunity to beat more than less in the low post."

On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson replaced Yao and said to Kobe: "Kobe, be careful of Ginobili's defense."

Kobe nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Phil Jackson said to everyone: "From now on, Kobe and Parker will take turns attacking on the outside, and Yao and Tim will protect the offensive rebounds under the basket and play the second offense. Everyone must go in, and on the basis of restricting the hammer's activities, Go up and fight for offensive rebounds."

After the players digested his words, he continued: "Defensively, Ron, let Battier go and double-team the Hammers in advance, not allowing him to catch the ball. Parker went to guard Ginobili. Kobe went to guard Battier and let Rondo go.

Others must make up defense in time and not let the Suns easily get the opportunity to take open shots. The defensive effect is mainly to reduce their shooting percentage. Everyone else needs to go to the basket to grab rebounds, and we need more defensive rebounds. "

The timeout ends and the Lakers attack.

As soon as Parker arrived in the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Bryant and entered the paint.

The same goes for the rest of the Lakers. Dayao and Li Ba, Artest and Battier, Duncan and Marion, plus Parker and Rondo, eight people were crowded into the small paint area.

Commentators such as Barkley and Zhang Lili were stunned and did not react.

"Rajan, go double-team Kobe!" Li Ba reacted the fastest and shouted at Rondo.

But it was too late, Kobe took action at this time.

Ginobili's defense was in place and the ball missed.

There were people around Li Ba, and he couldn't move anywhere. He watched helplessly as Duncan got the ball, and then watched Duncan hit the board and score.

6:4, the Lakers are 2 points behind.

"This is an upgraded version of the crowd tactic under the basket. Under this tactic, grabbing rebounds depends on luck. Whoever falls on the head will get it." Barkley shouted loudly.

The Suns attack.

Two people stood next to Li Ba, Dayao and Artest.

"Being double-teamed early, this is O'Neal's treatment." Zhang Lili shouted.

At this time, Rondo was close to the top of the arc. He looked around and saw that no one was guarding him. It was really embarrassing.

He immediately broke through to the paint area. Dayao returned to defend the basket and slapped Rondo's layup down.

At this time, all the Lakers players rushed towards the paint area to grab the ball.

The Suns players were unprepared and were slow to follow from the outside. The Lakers took advantage of the large number of people on this floor ball and Kobe really caught it.

Kobe immediately launched a counterattack. At this time, Li Ba was deliberately blocked by Dayao and Duncan and was unable to quickly pursue the defense.

"The Lakers really tried their best to grab rebounds, and they couldn't even defend the Suns' fast break. But everyone rushed into the paint, and it was difficult for the Suns to play fast breaks. This is really a good way." Zhang Reasonable sighed.

Kobe quickly advanced to the frontcourt, with Ginobili chasing after him. He shook the latter, then burst in, faced Rondo and completed a layup, and also earned a foul.

Next, Kobe made an extra free throw. At 6:7, the Lakers scored 5 points in a row and took the lead by 1 point.

When the Suns attack, it is not easy for Li Ba to catch the ball, so Ginobili can only attack with the ball. He is the only one in the Suns team who has this ability.

This resulted in a single point of attack that could easily lead to death.

In the next first quarter, the Lakers relied on the tactics of stacking people in the paint on both ends of the offense and defense to gradually open up the score. At 21:32, the Lakers won by 11 points in a single quarter.

"Both offense and defense are too passive. The Suns must find a way to change the passive situation." Barkley shouted.

Kenny Smith said: "On the offensive end, Kobe took over the ball, playing alone or making strong shots under double teams. In the first quarter, he showed no mercy, shooting and taking free throws. He made 5 of 13 shots and 5 of 6 free throws. 15 marks.

Duncan and Yao protected the offensive rebounds well under the basket. The two jointly contributed 5 secondary attacks, made 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 13 points.

The Big Three teamed up and scored 28 of the Lakers' 32 points. This cannot but be said to be the strength of the Big Three. "

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Li said: "In the first quarter, the Hammers made 4 of 5 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, and 2 fouls. To be honest, the data was pretty good. , but it cannot be compared with the Hammers’ previous performance.”

"The Hammers can't move on both offense and defense. It's actually pretty good to get this data." Yu Jia sighed.

"Let's see how the Suns play next. We can't be so passive. We must use tactics to release the energy of the Hammers on both offense and defense."

Zhang Lili said.
