Chapter 736 Kobe, You Try It Out

The Suns still use the original style of play, with Li Ba at the high post as the organization center. The offensive efficiency is very good and the scoring is very average.

After one quarter, 34:25, the Suns led by 9 points.

During the break of the round, Barkley analyzed on the live broadcast: "In the second half of the first quarter, Kobe's shots were blocked several times, especially the Hammer had three defenses against him, sending two big blocks and one steal. .

I think these few shots are debatable, he actually has a chance to pass the ball to Yao, you must know that Yao has been lost by the hammer, he is absolutely open, he is moving to the basket, as long as there is the ball, 100% 100% chance. "

"I noticed that it was just one time. The other Kobes didn't have a chance to pass the ball at all. He didn't see the Hammer's help defense at all. How would he know that Yao was empty?"

Kenny Smith laughed.

"Even if you didn't see Yao's open space, but he has attracted double-teams, he should choose to pass the ball, because there must be teammates who are already empty." Barkley argued.

"So what? He has been paying attention to sharing the ball in the first four games, but the team lost three games. This is why he made a change."

Kenny Smith said.

"But this can win the Suns? Look, the Hammers haven't attacked yet. Once his fast break comes out, what will the Lakers do?"

Buckley said.

"Of course that's a problem. Maybe Kobe will look forward to his touch improving again?" Kenny Smith laughed.

"Twenty three-pointers in a single game? Haha, the Hammer strengthened his defense against him, and he only made one three-pointer. I bet, if he hits a few more three-pointers, the Hammers will definitely If you switch defenses, you will defend him yourself."

Buckley said.

"Then who will guard Dayao?" Kenny Smith asked.

"Ha, just let it go, Kobe can't pass the ball anyway." Barkley laughed.

"Charles, don't black Kobe, be careful he will call you, chat for three hours, or six hours."

Kenny Smith laughed too.

Barkley laughed dryly, because it really happened. That time he said a few words about Kobe during the live broadcast, and then Kobe's phone calls and text messages came at night, and he was almost annoyed by Kobe that night.

Before the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson didn't say anything about Kobe. He knew it was useless to say it, and the team was about to be eliminated. Kobe could play whatever he wanted, anyway, this was his team.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Ba stood up from the bench.

Kobe over there was sitting still, but jumped up immediately when he saw it.

"Let's go back to the second quarter. It seems that the Hammer wants to end this series." Zhang Lili shouted.

"The Spurs swept the Nuggets. They already have an advantage in terms of physical reserves, and they still have home court advantage. The Suns definitely hope to end this series as soon as possible." Yu Jia laughed.

Lineup for the second quarter, the Suns, Li Ba, David Lee, Kurt Thomas, Battier, Payton.

On the Lakers side, Turiaf, Cook, Devin George, Vujacic, Kobe.

The Lakers attack.

Li Ba didn't go to take his seat, but stood directly on the center line.

Low post, guarded by Kurt Thomas, against Turiaf.

"Wow, where is the hammer?" Yu Jia exclaimed.

"The Lakers' bench lineup does not have a Yao. Without Yao's containment in the low post, there is a defensive champion like Kurt Thomas at the basket. It is enough. Now the hammer is completely liberated. He can defend whoever he wants. Guard against whom."

Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Come here, Kobe, let's go heads-up."

Li Ba stood in the middle circle and hooked his fingers at Kobe.

"Hush!"

Lakers fans booed.

Kobe, who was advancing with the ball, was about to grit his teeth. This bastard actually defended him himself?

But so what? Surprise him and kill him!

At this moment, Kobe seemed to have a murderous look.

He advanced two steps away from Li Ba, suddenly changed direction to the right and accelerated, rushing to the center line.

Li Ba immediately moved a step to the left and approached Kobe.

His first steps, both front and rear, side to side, are top notch.

This step forced Kobe to increase the angle of the change of direction. Once he crossed the center line, he was forced to the right wing by Li Ba.

In the end, Li Ba blocked Kobe two steps away from the right-wing three-point line. Two thick, strong and long arms like iron pillars moved left and right, covering an area of ​​230 centimeters to the left and right in an instant, blocking Kobe's breakthrough. All paths are blocked.

"Kobe, give it a try." He also challenged.

Kobe frowned.

Li Ba suddenly moved his left hand and grabbed the ball that Kobe dribbled to the floor, startled the latter, quickly retreated, and hugged the ball with both hands.

"Okay, Kobe can only choose to pass or shoot." Zhang Lili shouted immediately.

"Shet!"

Kobe immediately realized that he could no longer dribble, otherwise it would be a second luck.

Li Ba took another step forward, forcing Kobe three steps away from the three-point line, almost approaching the center line.

So what if he puts Kobe in this position?

At this time Vujacic withdrew from the top of the arc and signaled Kobe to pass the ball.

"Kobe?"

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson couldn't bear it anymore. What are you waiting for if you don't pass from such a long distance?

But it was fine if he didn't shout. When he shouted, Kobe's eyes flashed coldly, he jumped up instantly, and made a super long-distance pull.

Li Ba couldn't react to Kobe's stubbornness, he thought Kobe would pass the ball.

But he kept on locking on to the ball. When the ball rose instantly, it immediately stimulated his fly-catching reaction. He jumped up accordingly, and with a movement of his right hand, he grabbed the target like lightning.

"Snapped!"

The ball was caught by him directly.

If the shot was thrown back this time, Li Ba would definitely not be able to defend against it, but it just wasn't.

The moment he landed, he immediately started, holding the ball himself and going off.

This is close to the center line, and after two steps, he stepped across the center line.

Kobe chased after him, but his left arm was enough to stop Kobe from getting close.

Li Ba changed direction with the ball from the left wing, and carried Kobe into the paint. His body exploded and blew up the Lakers' basket.

Vujacic, who returned to defense from the middle, did not dare to approach Li Ba at all. He was only 85 kilograms for fear of being hit to death.

36:25, the Suns led by 11 points.

Li Ba returned to defense immediately after landing, stopped in the middle circle again, and raised his finger at Kobe.

"Hush!"

His provocation received another burst of boos.

Kobe changed course this time, instead of confronting Li Ba.

He made a big change of direction and took the initiative to rush to the right wing.

Li Ba immediately moved quickly and rushed towards Kobe.

He wanted to intercept Kobe on the way, otherwise Kobe might make an emergency stop jumper without waiting for him to get in position.

The Suns had no one to help defend Kobe, and if Li Ba didn't take the initiative to double-team any player who was facing Li Ba, no one would help defend him.

Kobe accelerated, accelerated again, rushed a step beyond the three-point line on the right wing, saw Li Ba approaching from the corner of his eye, immediately stopped suddenly, and jumped up.

Li Ba rushed over in one step, came to Kobe's front, also came to a sudden brake, took off on the spot, did not change direction, stretched his right arm to the right, and grabbed it with his right hand.

But at this moment, Kobe in the air leaned back to let Li Ba's catch go, and then the ball was released.

Li Ba landed and looked back, looked at the arc, and knew that the ball had been scored.

Sure enough, the next moment, the basketball passed the basket.

"ah!"

Staples burst into cheers.

When Li Ba turned his head, he saw a pair of cold eyes staring at his face.

"I'm going to cum..."

Kobe opened his mouth and spat out trash talk mixed with icy scum.

But as soon as his words came out, Li Ba had already started and rushed to the frontcourt.

Kobe's face changed, he turned around quickly, and chased after him.
