Chapter 1211: Reporters’ Questioning of Li Ba

Zhang Lili said with some regret: "In this game, the Suns' offensive tactics are to hit the basket to cause damage. Otherwise, if the Hammers pass a few more balls, the five-double will be stable."

Xu Jicheng said: "But then the Suns might lose. If the Hammers produced such data, the Lakers would be beaten until the end."

Zhang Liji nodded and said: "The killing method is reasonable."

Yujia said: "Kobe and Parker combined to make 23 of 42 shots, including free throws, and scored 57 points. Their performance today was actually very good.

But the Hammers made 19 of 23 shots at the basket and scored 49 points including free throws, which was much more efficient than Kobe and Parker. "

Zhang Lianda said: "The efficiency of the inside and outside lines cannot be compared, otherwise Kobe and Parker would not have been in the paint area in the first three quarters."

The Suns won the G3 game with a loss of troops and generals, which greatly surprised the media.

At the scene, Li Ba accepted media interviews.

"Iron Hammer, 49 points is your highest score in the playoffs. You also played a quadruple-double and 5*5 data, and the data of your teammates are very poor. Does this mean that you let your teammates become the game?" Bystanders? You can't make your teammates better?"

A FOX reporter asked.

Li Ba took a look and saw that he was an old acquaintance, the guy he had quarreled with after the G1 game, and he said: "Your question clearly exposed your ignorance and unprofessionalism."

"Hammer, please answer my question head-on." The reporter said angrily.

Li Ba said disdainfully: "Didn't I answer clearly enough? We won, we are the victors, everything the victors do is right, and the victors should not be criticized. This is the true meaning of competitive sports.

As a reporter from a professional media, you don’t even know this. I can only question the professionalism of FOX Sports Channel. Are you deceiving us viewers? Could it be that FOX couldn’t afford to hire several professional basketball reporters?

As for whether I can make my teammates better, look at where my teammates are now after we successfully defended the title last season? Their worth has at least gone up a notch. Only the blind and ignorant can't see all this, and that's you. "

The reporter's face was darkened by the rebuke again, and he was speechless.

Yu Jia and Zhang Lijia were laughing in the crowd, and Yu Jia whispered: "The hammer is going to kill you!"

At the scene, Jordan also accepted interviews with the media.

"Michael, do you have anything to say about this game?" Barkley was among them, and he was the first to ask.

"Both the Suns' victory and the Lakers' defeat surprised me. I really didn't expect that the Suns could still win against the Lakers despite losing three veterans." Jordan shook his head and sighed.

"Of course the Sun's victory was caused by the Hammer's ability. Do you have anything to say about this?" Barkley asked again.

Jordan nodded and said: "In the past few seasons, when the Hammers won the first five championships, he rarely played hard at the basket like this. He always used his mobility to gain an advantage. And This time it was different. He used his hard hitting skills to cause powerful damage to the Lakers inside, which I didn't expect."

"So what do you want to say about the Hammers' basketball skills?" Barkley continued to ask.

"Powerful destructive power." Jordan said seriously.

"How does it compare to the four major centers?" Barkley asked.

"You mean offensively?" Jordan asked.

"Of course, do you still want to compare their performance on the defensive end? Is there any need to compare?" Barkley laughed.

Jordan also laughed, thought for a while and said: "Compared with the four super centers, the Hammer is the smallest, and his mobility is the best.

When attacking with the ball, what he uses most is to directly break through the opponent, or turn around to break through, or directly crush him. This is what he is best at. Not to mention the inside players, with his turning speed and first step, even if He is a top defender, like Kobe, it is impossible to guard against him, he is too fast! The impact is too great! His breakthrough ability gives him an unparalleled advantage at the basket.

I have to say that today he wanted to be lethal, so he slowed down some of the basket attacks, otherwise he would have scored more points.

Comparing the four super centers, only Dameng's pace at the basket can be compared with him.

But Iron Hammer and Dameng move in two different ways. Iron Hammer is a crushing type with speed and impact, while Dameng is more flexible and changeable. It's hard for me to distinguish between them. "

On the other side, Karl Malone was also surrounded by the media.

The Lakers lost the game and he didn't want to be interviewed, but the media stopped him and he had no choice but to accept the interview.

"Karl, you said the Lakers would win, but now they're losing. Do you think there's anything wrong with that?" a reporter asked.

"I think some whistles are unnecessary. Several blocking fouls by Tim and Paul belonged to the home whistle. They actually jumped up to defend. The referee was too sensitive." Karl Malone said.

"What do you think of the Hammers' performance?" a reporter asked.

"I have nothing to say, I'm not familiar with him." Karl Malone said.

"Karl, I asked what you thought of his performance, not whether you were familiar with him." The reporter asked.

Karl Malone said with a dark face: "Sorry, I'm not paying attention to him, I don't like him."

"Is it because he didn't let you see a Lakers victory?" a reporter asked loudly from behind.

"Whatever you say, don't even think about me talking about him anyway." Karl Malone said angrily.

"Haha..." Some reporters couldn't help laughing.

Karl Malone couldn't stay any longer and forcibly left the reporters.

The G4 game was on the 9th. The team on the 8th did not arrange training and had a day off. On the afternoon of the 9th, a training session was arranged.

The team specially simulated the Lakers' offense to do some defensive tactics training.

Especially for the Lakers' bottom-line breakthrough tactics, Payton and Li Ba worked out some defensive coordination tactics and then conducted drills.

After practice, the Suns held a tactical meeting.

At the meeting, some tactics for the G4 battle were formulated.

On the evening of the 9th, the G4 battle began.

The starting lineups for both teams were announced before the game.

Lakers: Duncan, Gasol, Artest, Kobe, Parker.

Suns: Li Ba, Allen, Ray Allen, Ginobili, Nash.

At the same time, Carter left the injured list and entered the twelve-man activated roster, and Kwame Brown returned to the inactive status.

During the locker room interview, a reporter asked Li Ba: "Hammer, as far as I know, you are not satisfied with the state of Kwame Brown and Milicic, so you don't let them play."

These words were obviously accusatory and were a cross-examination. All the Suns players in the locker room immediately looked over. Except for Milicic, he didn't care about this. He was more concerned about whether the blond hair on his head had faded.
