Chapter 1026 God of Killing Mode
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe took over the ball in the first half, accelerated into the frontcourt, met Li Ba's defense, and broke through directly.
Li Ba turned around to chase and was again faced with Dayao's pick-and-roll.
But he had "seen" Dayao's movement long ago, and prepared for Kobe's breakthrough in advance, and quickly bypassed Dayao and caught up with Kobe.
Kobe entered the killing god mode, just after breaking through the three-point line, he stopped again and shot the basketball in his hand in an extremely cold-blooded way.
"Kobe, make another one!"
All the Lakers fans looked at Kobe with their mouths wide open.
But at this moment, Li Ba jumped from a position half a step behind the right side, jumped with all his strength, and his super long arms stretched out instantly, chasing the basketball with his big hands.
"Snap!"
Kobe's shot was too resolute and too fast, and he could no longer catch it. Li Ba simply slapped the ball out of the baseline with a slap.
"Alas!"
The whole audience sighed.
"Beautiful! The 8th block, only two blocks away!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
The Lakers attacked again, and there were 18 seconds left.
Kobe started from the right wing, ran two steps upward to the bottom corner, then suddenly ran back, moved quickly to the top of the arc, and reached out for the ball.
Li Ba was only half a step behind and chased closely.
At the position of one step to the right of the top of the arc, the moment the ball was in his hand, Kobe jumped up, leaned back in the air, avoided Li Ba's block, and hit another three-pointer.
112:110, the Lakers were still two points behind, and there were 170 seconds left.
"Kobe is amazing to be able to score even with such defense!" Yu Jia sighed.
At this time, Li Ba was almost down.
Because of Kobe's backward jump shot, he landed unsteadily and did not catch up with Li Ba, but fell behind.
Li Ba received the ball across the midline, pushed at full speed, just half a step past the free throw line, jumped wildly, dunked with both arms, and with a bang, the entire basket was directly smashed two feet.
114:110, the Suns led by 4 points.
"Defense!"
The attack just ended, Staples, Li Ba's roar sounded again.
The Lakers attacked, right wing, Kobe still took the ball after crossing half court.
Li Ba "saw" someone coming up from behind again, and the Lakers used the pick-and-roll tactic again, creating an opportunity for Kobe to shoot.
This time, he took the initiative to defend, and suddenly got close to Kobe before the person behind came up.
His first step in front was too fast, Kobe was caught off guard, and he didn't expect Li Ba to suddenly get close to him. He didn't complete the move, and was forced to stop on the spot, holding the ball with both hands, unable to dribble again.
But Li Ba didn't go to steal the ball because he was worried about being called for a defensive foul.
He made active defense again, retreated a step, let go of Kobe, and gave Kobe a chance to shoot.
Kobe could only shoot or pass at this time. With one step of space, Kobe would definitely shoot.
So, when he retreated a step, Li Ba was ready to block immediately.
Sure enough, Kobe shot.
Li Ba also immediately jumped up after retreating and grabbed the ball with one claw.
"Beautiful! Beautiful! The 9th block, the 9th! A five-double is coming!" Yu Jia roared excitedly.
Li Ba ran down with the ball, Kobe turned back to defend, and the two ran in parallel.
When he reached the three-point line, Kobe was one meter ahead, but this distance was not enough for him to complete the turn and stand.
Two steps later, the two rushed into the paint area.
One step later, Kobe suddenly turned around forcibly. The referee's penalty scale was also one of the factors that could be used. He bet that Li Ba, who had five fouls, would not dare to hit him.
But at this moment, Li Ba stopped and slowed down suddenly. With the sharp friction sound of his shoes under his feet, he jumped up and threw the ball near the basket.
Bang, the ball hit the basket, the force was too strong, hit the inner edge, and bounced out of the basket.
Kobe turned and rushed into the basket, ready to jump up and grab the rebound.
But Li Ba was well prepared and immediately started the first step from the front after landing.
As Kobe turned and stepped into the basket, looking up to observe the position of the basketball, Li Ba also rushed to the basket, jumped up instantly, and with a bang, pushed the ball back into the basket.
116:110, the Suns led by 6 points.
"Defense! Defense! Defense..."
When the offense and defense switched, the Suns bench immediately shouted.
On the right wing, Kobe crossed the midline to get the ball, and Li Ba pressed up. The former immediately took a step back and broke through to the left with the ball, while the latter chased closely on one side.
At this time, Dayao moved from the high position to the top of the arc, and Kobe took the initiative to look for Dayao's pick-and-roll.
But Li Ba knew Dayao's movements clearly. When Kobe rushed past Dayao, he did not hit Dayao, but went around from behind Dayao and caught up with Kobe again.
But at this moment, Kobe took a step back and retreated from the three-point line.
"Want a three-pointer?"
At this moment, Li Ba stopped abruptly, took a step forward, and rushed to Kobe.
But Kobe retreated and advanced, started again, and rushed into the three-point line.
As Li Ba moved forward, backward, and then forward again, he lost his center of gravity and failed to keep up with Kobe's final breakthrough. Kobe broke through.
Kobe left Li Ba behind and entered the paint.
A-Lin and Gasol blocked Kobe together. Kobe suddenly changed direction, attracted Gasol to move, and then took the initiative to bump into Gasol, and then made a one-handed dunk before landing.
With a swish, the ball went in and the whistle sounded.
The referee pointed at Gasol and made a gesture of blocking foul, six fouls and Kobe's free throw.
"Oh, now it's troublesome. Gasol was sent off. Who will replace him? Will the hammer go back to the basket?" Zhang Heli shouted.
"Payton is calling someone, who is he calling? Oh, Antonio McDyess got up, the veteran is here." Yu Jia shouted.
Brush, Kobe made a free throw, 116:113, the Lakers are still 3 points behind.
When the ball hit the basket, Li Ba prepared for a fast break, but was blocked by Duncan and Dayao, and the Suns entered a positional battle.
Li Ba advanced with the ball, but his speed was not fast.
"There are 105 seconds left." Barkley said.
"Kobe made 14 of 21 shots today, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 38 points." Kenny Smith said.
"Iron Hammer defended him, he didn't get many free throws today." Barkley said.
"Iron Hammer committed three offensive fouls on him, and he got three ball rights, which is already very good." Kenny Smith laughed.
At this time, Li Ba reached the top of the arc and made a tactical gesture. At this time, A-Lin and Antonio McDyess under the basket suddenly ran to the left and right wings at the same time, and took Dayao and Duncan away.
At the same time, Li Ba suddenly started a tentative step and broke through.
He leaned over, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and suddenly stretched out his right foot.
Li Ba had no outside shooting ability, and all the low-post players were pulled out. He must have broken through. Kobe was mentally prepared, retreated, and completed the retreat in time.
But at this moment, Li Ba retracted his right foot and stopped the breakthrough.
"Back cut!"
Artest on the left wing yelled at this time.
Kobe turned back suddenly and saw that A-Lian had left Yao Ming behind and rushed into the basket again.
Then, the ball flew over his head, and he saw A-Lian jump up, grab the ball with both hands, and slam it into the basket with a bang.
118:113, the Suns led by 5 points.
