Chapter 1058 Two Inside Players Playing Against a Small Forward, Do You Have Any Shame?

The Cavaliers attacked, but the ball did not pass James's point. Billups passed it directly to the low post.

Low on the left wing, Gasol went around to defend O'Neal, and Billups immediately swung backward.

When Li Ba saw it was a lob, he immediately turned around and pounced on O'Neal.

James saw something bad and immediately followed.

O'Neal was holding Gasol with his left hand. As soon as he received the ball with his right hand, Li Ba's double team arrived.

Before he could get the ball together, Li Ba picked it up with one hand and lifted the ball high into the air with great accuracy.

James jumped up from behind and picked up the ball again.

At this time, at the top of the arc, Ginobili turned around and started to play fast, no matter who got the ball.

The same goes for Hill on the right three-point line.

James' lob was deflected to his side, which was good for him, but just when he looked up at the ball, moved and prepared to take off, he was stuck.

Li Ba lost a link to observe the position of the ball, which allowed him to complete the position half a beat earlier.

Ginobili and Hill stepped down quickly, one or two steps ahead of their opponents.

At this time, Li Ba passed the ball to the middle. The former caught the ball, advanced to the basket, swayed Billups, and passed to Hill who cut from the wing. The latter caught the ball and made a layup.

5:9, the Suns lead.

O'Neal made two consecutive mistakes and was intercepted twice by Li Ba. Head coach Mike Brown shouted angrily from the sidelines:

"Shaq, increase your focus on the game."

O'Neal glanced at Brown and ignored him.

Next, James and O'Neal actually started to play pick-and-roll tactics.

O'Neal mentioned building a wall on the outside, which is rare for him, because he is not very suitable for this kind of outside pick-and-roll tactic. He has no shooting. This is the pick-and-roll tactic that is most suitable for Dayao.

But the Cavaliers had no choice. With continuous low post errors, James had to strengthen his offense, but he was not sure of breaking through Li Ba's defense and could only call O'Neal's wall.

O'Neal stood on the left side of Liba, close to the middle. At this time, James began to break through the wall and broke through from behind O'Neal.

Li Ba turned around to pursue the defense, and Gasol was guarding James behind O'Neal. At this time, James broke through one step, stopped for a jumper, shot two points from far away, and hit the ball.

7:9, the Cavaliers were 2 points behind.

The Suns are still on a fast break, trying to complete the offense before O'Neal returns to defense.

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Mike Brown urged the defense to return quickly.

Under his urging, the Cavaliers returned to defense significantly faster from the outside.

When Li Ba advanced to the three-point line with the ball, O'Neal was crossing the center line, three steps too slow.

"How to attack?" Yu Jia shouted.

Ginobili came down quickly and stopped at the top of the key, holding Billups there.

From the left wing, the United Arab Emirates cut into the paint area. Varejao was two steps behind and failed to keep up.

At this time, Li Ba held the ball from the right elbow and entered the paint area. James just returned to the basket and turned around, blocking his way.

Li Ba changed direction and took off, but after jumping, the ball was passed behind him to the left wing.

James moved and then jumped to block the shot, only to find that he had been fooled.

When he landed on the ground and turned around, he saw darkness in front of him, and then a huge force hit him. As he was knocked back, the basket above his head was smashed.

"Beautiful, A Lian cut in from the left wing and completed an alley-oop dunk. The hammer pass was so beautiful and caused James another foul." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

LeBron was a little helpless. He committed less than two fouls in half a quarter. None of his inside men could keep up. It was better to let Gerald Wallace start. At least Wallace could run in front and prevent Yi from getting involved. In fast break, he only needs to deal with Hammer alone.

Mike Brown also saw that Varejao was useless on the court. The Suns' offense was all about running and gunning. If he couldn't keep up with Yi, he would have no chance to foul.

Before the extra penalty, the Cavaliers made substitutions, Varejao came off and Gerald Wallace came on.

Barkley shouted: "The biggest weakness of the Cavaliers is that the inside is too slow. I have long said that the Suns will not focus on this weakness in the regular season, but in the finals, the Suns will definitely focus on this weakness. , until it explodes.”

Kenny Smith said: "In fact, in less than half a quarter, James committed two fouls. The Suns used frequent fast breaks to cause great damage to the Cavaliers, but also to their core."

Barkley smiled: "The hammer is attacking the point guard, but in fact the Suns have three inside players on the field, and one of them is the most powerful inside player currently. How can the Cavaliers fight? You see how LeBron was bullied, two If a small forward hits him inside, he will definitely want to say, Hammer, do you want to face him? "

"Haha..." Kenny Smith shook his head and laughed.

At 7:11, Alejandro missed a free throw, O'Neal grabbed the rebound, and the Cavaliers attacked.

Mo Bu received the ball and dribbled the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing for nearly ten seconds. Under Hill's defense, he did not seek a breakthrough or pass the ball. He suddenly shot a three-pointer when the time was about to end.

Missed, the basketball rebounded to the right and was grabbed by the Arab League.

"Gerrard is too short, and the Cavaliers are suffering from rebounds now," Zhang Lili shouted.

The Suns once again played a fast break. This time after the United Arab Emirates passed the ball to Hill, Gerrard blocked it and did not rush forward and failed to participate in the fast break.

On the right wing, Li Ba and LeBron advanced side by side, with the latter leaning towards the center, cutting off Li Ba's receiving line.

Hill advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed it to Ginobili in the middle. The latter was half a step ahead of Billups, received the ball and rushed into the paint, suddenly stopped and changed direction, and pulled to the right wing.

At this time, Li Ba and James rushed into the three-point line. Ginobili passed the ball. Li Ba received the ball with his right hand. After two consecutive steps into the paint area, he flew up with James on his left hand, and with a bang, he successfully smashed the basket.

7:13, the Suns led.

Zhang Heli shouted: "After two fouls, LeBron's defense is obviously not very brave, which will make the Hammer's offense more unscrupulous."

Looking back, James broke through with the ball. At this time, Billups suddenly moved from the top of the arc to the left wing, received the return pass from the former, and shot a three-pointer.

Ginobili was half a beat slower and failed to block the shot. He made a three-pointer. 10:13, the Cavaliers were 3 points behind.

"Billups made two shots, all three-pointers. Be careful. His hands are very hot today." Zhang Heli reminded.

After the first quarter, 24:29, the Suns led by 5 points.

After making two three-pointers, the Cavaliers' inside line was responsible for protecting the rebounds, and the offense turned to the outside line. The outside line was indeed very accurate tonight, and Mo Bu passed and made two three-pointers later.

However, the Suns mainly played fast breaks, with a high success rate. Gasol and Alian worked together to protect the rebounds, and they did not suffer any loss, and still maintained the lead in the score.

Li Ba made 7 of 8 shots and 2 of 3 free throws in a single quarter, scoring 16 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, and 1 turnover.
