Chapter 45

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe asked for the ball again, but Payton didn't give it this time, so Kobe became expressionless.

The Suns' defense this time is still man-to-man.

When Li Ba took his seat, he didn't go to Ma Long's side, but went to O'Neal's side, and signaled the little bully to go and defend Ma Long. Xiaobawang happily went.

"Hey, garbage rookie, are you scared?" Ma Long sprayed immediately when he saw it.

"Old guy who was abandoned by the ring, do you think I'm a fool?"

Li Ba is not fooled, he can't move, and O'Neill, who is too lazy to move, is the original match.

"snort!"

Seeing that Li Ba was not fooled, Ma Long had no choice.

Payton began to intersperse with the dribble, and the Suns were man-to-man defense, and soon the defense was not in place.

Ma Long's mobility is a bit stronger than Li Ba's, but weaker than that of Xiaobawang.

Although Xiaobawang's defensive attitude is not good, but that refers to the strength of confrontation, and the speed of defense is not bad, and Malone was not dropped.

However, he made a sharp turn from the block and used a pick-and-roll to finally get rid of the little bully and come to a position within the three-point line at the 30-point mark on the left wing.

"Whoosh!"

The glove Payton shook his hand, and the ball was passed to Malone.

Ma Long, who made a precise mid-range shot, immediately made a jump shot, and the ball went hollow into the basket.

"Hey, the postman scored from mid-range shots! In his career, he hit 41% from mid-range shots, which is really accurate! He has already won the second place in the NBA's total scoring list, and maybe he will attack Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's first place Already!"

ESPN Brin explained with a sonorous voice.

"Boy, come and defend me!" Ma Long yelled at Li Ba after making a shot.

"You come to guard me. I made 4 of 4 shots, and you made 3 of 5 shots. My offensive efficiency is 40% higher than yours. You have a brain, will you settle your score?" Li Ba snorted disdainfully.

One more shot and one less goal is 40% worse? Malone is angry.

The Suns attack.

The right wing is low, and Li Ba and O'Neill are wrestling for positions.

He felt that it was very difficult to carry it, not because he couldn't bear it, but because he had too much weight difference.

No one knows O'Neill's current weight. Maybe it's 150 kilograms. Once such a large weight has kinetic energy, how can he carry it with a weight of 110 kilograms?

What's more, O'Neill's fat body is like oiled, it is difficult to bear the force, which makes him feel even more difficult to carry.

And O'Neal is too big, with a height of 216cm and a wingspan of 231cm, both of which have advantages over him, and are even more flexible than him at the basket, so his positioning effect is not very good.

Under the confrontation, he did not successfully get a position in the low post on the right wing.

But in fact, he didn't know, and O'Neill was also very surprised. He used 90% of his strength, almost with all his strength, but he couldn't squeeze the rookie. Only with all his strength, could the rookie lose his position, which surprised him a lot.

But he was still very proud that he still had the upper hand.

"It's still close."

Seeing this scene, Frank shook his head. But to be honest, I am extremely satisfied in my heart. Because there are not two centers in the league who can do what Li Ba does. He can see that O'Neal is working hard, not just dealing with Li Ba.

"Hey, Shaq, can you be nice to that undrafted pick? You're going to break his bones." In the ESPN live broadcast, Breen laughed cheerfully.

"Rookie, who is the boss of the Lakers?" O'Neill snorted while squeezing Li Ba.

"Kobe." Li Ba said unhappily.

O'Neill was furious in his heart, the smile on his face grew wider, and he worked harder.

Grandma's, it's obviously me, you're a cheap kid, can't you kill me?

Li Ba simply took another step to the right, and stretched out his hand, signaling Marbury to give the ball. But he didn't really want the ball, but he wanted to pull O'Neal away, free the basket, and give the bully space.

O'Neill didn't know the details of Li Ba's CIC, so he had to follow him. If he knew that Li Ba was a poor shooter and didn't even have a close shot, he would definitely let Li Ba go.

The bully had already pulled Malone away from the basket, so the basket was empty.

At this time, Marbury from the top arc waved to Li Ba.

His opponent is Payton, the 1-time DPOY winner and 9-time NBA defensive first team old guy. He can't run anymore, but his defensive ability is still there. He called the pick-and-roll.

Li Ba made the wall, and Marbury broke through to the three-point line.

But Li Ba didn't cut in, but took a step outside, standing outside the three-point line.

This is a pick-and-roll tactic of the Suns. It belongs to the pick-and-roll outside cut. The inside player with the ball to be the wall has a long shot.

Li Ba doesn't have a long-range shot, but he just entered the NBA, and this is only the second game, but others don't know. When he saw him cut outside, Payton didn't run in with Marbury, and quickly defended him. side.

In this way, the basket continued to be empty, only O'Neal ran towards the basket.

Marbury didn't make a rash move in the face of O'Neill, and made a lateral change and rushed to the left wing.

Over there are Xiaobawang and Malone.

As soon as the bully saw it, he immediately started, passed by Marbury, and completed a hand-to-hand pass with Marbury, then took off in one step, and directly began to hit the basket.

At this moment, O'Neill was under the basket, and when he saw it, his face became tense. Is this going to buckle me?

And Marbury stopped directly in front of the chasing Malone, and made a screen pick-and-roll to prevent the bully from being double-teamed.

At the same time, Li Ba from the top arc bypassed Payton and rushed to the basket, ready to grab a rebound.

The little bully raised his arm and smashed towards the basket.

O'Neal took off vertically in the reasonable collision zone, and pressed his right hand to the ball that hit the basket.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp slap, and an orange ball jumped into the sky.

"Oh, the big shark blocked the shot strongly, and the bully dunk failed!" ESPN Breen roared passionately.

Malone easily squeezed Marbury away with one arm, and when he looked up at the position of the ball, his feet began to move in that direction.

At the same time, Li Ba lowered his head and moved quickly.

The moment the ball flew upwards, it was locked.

Of course, because it jumped too high, it also quickly escaped from the locked range.

However, Li Ba can still judge the approximate direction of the ball based on its initial jump angle. Now, he is moving towards this position with all his strength. That position is the left elbow not far from him, the left end of the free throw line.

This is the so-called stupid bird fly first.

Ma Long finally caught up with the ball, and when he was about to jump, he found that the air was covered by a shadow.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba took the ball into his arms with one hand in the air, and it landed on the floor with a bang.

"Damn it!"

When Ma Long saw that it was Li Ba, his eyes sharpened immediately, and he rushed forward with his two big elbows raised, like a domineering crab.

O'Neal at the basket also came over at this time, and the two insiders actually planned to work together to encircle Li Ba.
