Chapter 17: Suppressing the Sun

In the second half, the Lakers served first, and just after halftime, Li Du took Barbosa to run all over the court. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, Barbossa's speed is not slower than Li Du's, and the straight-line speed may be a little faster, but Li Du's running position that changes according to the pace of Xingyi Fist is really difficult to fathom, and as soon as he went around, Barbossa was blocked by Odom.

Li Du stepped out of the three-point line in two steps, and Fisher's pass arrived. Li Du received the ball, did not stop, opened his hand is a three-point shot, the ball scored. Just over 10 seconds into the second half, the Lakers recovered three points. The score became 56-52, and the Lakers still trailed by four points.

The Sun insisted on the rhythm of bombardment, as soon as Nash got the ball, he saw that Li Du was about to stick to the defense, and passed the ball directly to the front court, Ragabel hit the ground after receiving the ball, and the ball went to Xiao Si who ran up from the backcourt. Bynum has not yet returned to the defense, and Xiao Si does not care about Fisher, who is going to come over to help defend in front, and jumps up to dunk the ball, and Fisher can only dodge.

58-52, the score gap came to 6 points.

Bryant waved his hand to Li Du, and the Lakers flooded into the Suns' half. Li Du still started to run quickly as soon as he passed the half, and Barbossa chased after him. He was led by Li Du in the first half and ran poorly, and he kept thinking about how to keep up with the strange pace and rhythm of the Lakers' rookie at halftime.

The way he thought of was that he would move Li Du as he could, so that he would not be thrown off by Li Du's weird rhythm.

Unfortunately, it backfired. Barbossa followed Li Du and almost tripped himself after only a few steps. Li Du took the opportunity to slip out of the outside line, and received the ball with another three-pointer, narrowing the score gap again.

Seeing this, Nash walked over and patted Barbossa, "Don't worry, it seems that the Lakers are going to focus on this young man." The next time we change the defense on the outside, he can't run away! ”

Barbosa almost tripped himself when defending Li Du, causing the fans at the scene to burst into laughter, and even Barkley laughed: "This Brazilian is very unwise, his speed is actually not slower than Li Du, but he has to do the same actions as Li Du." Doesn't he know that the pace and rhythm of the little guy of the Lakers has never been seen before, and it is impossible to accurately grasp it in a game! ”

Smith forced a smile and said, "You can't blame him, Li Du has already made 3 shots in front of him tonight." Barbossa never had any good way to restrain Li Du, so he could only try to learn the rhythm and pace of Li Du. ”

In the laughter of the crowd, Barbossa also played with his life, he used his fastest speed to rush directly to the front court with the ball, while the Lakers had not had time to form an effective defense, attracted the inside bag, and then passed to Dio, Dio leaned back under the basket and easily scored the ball.

After the two sides went back and forth to attack and defend, due to Li Du's slippery running and accurate three-point shot, the Suns had to adopt a defensive strategy against him, and once the players who followed Li Du were blocked, others immediately followed the defense.

In this way, it is no problem to chase Li Du, Li Du has a lot less chance of getting the ball, and the chance of shooting three points has also greatly decreased. But a new problem came again, because Li Du often did off-ball blocking with Odom or Kobe, and after changing defenses, it became Xiao Si or Dio to defend Kobe.

Both of them are interior players, and they don't have an advantage in the outside defense, plus the defense is Kobe, which is basically the end of being broken through and shooting casually.

Moreover, even after occasionally changing defenses, Ragabel, with his rich experience, still switches to him to defend Kobe, but first, Kobe Bryant is not something he can defend one-on-one, and he can reduce Kobe's shooting rate even if he defends very well. But what's more serious is that Kobe Bryant actually began to block and dismantle with Odom and even Bynum, and after the blocking, either Kobe Bryant got a shooting opportunity on the outside, or the Suns, who were empty by Li Du on the inside, had to bear the result of being bombarded by Bynum and Odom in turn.

Finally, at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers chased the score to 78-77, only one point behind!

After the third quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 32 points, and Odom also had 18 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. Li Du scored 12 points on 4-of-4 three-pointers, along with two steals and two blocks.

On the other hand, on the Suns' side, Xiao Si was as strong as ever, scoring 22 points and 13 rebounds, Dio also had 14 points and 8 rebounds, and Marion also scored 18 points. But Nash still only had a pitiful 2 points and 3 assists, as well as an embarrassing 3 turnovers!

If it weren't for the fact that they have been speeding up the pace of offense, and everyone's shooting hand is not bad today, I am afraid that they would have been overtaken by the Lakers long ago. But even so, Nash knows that if he doesn't make any changes, in the second half of the fourth quarter, when all the Lakers' main forces return, it will be when the Suns lose!

The opening game is significant, and no one wants to lose this kind of game!

"Coach, what should I do?" Nash and they are all in a hurry, if they continue like this, this game will be lost!

D'Antoni patted them and comforted: "Don't worry, you guys have fought for one quarter, rest first, recover your strength, and prepare to break them down in the fourth quarter." ”

In fact, there is nothing D'Antoni can do, he is a coach who is good at offense, but the question now is how to defend against the Lakers. And their offense was contained by the Lakers, and the source was that Nash was suppressed by the Chinese.

Thinking of this, D'Antoni couldn't help but look at the Lakers, and then turned to look at Nash. Sighing in his heart, Nash was limited by his physical condition and was suppressed by that rookie. But since Nash entered the league, he has encountered too many physically gifted opponents, why is he so uncomfortable with this Chinese today?

Thinking of this, D'Antoni came to Nash's side and asked in a low voice, "Steve, is that rookie really strong?" ”

Nash looked at D'Antoni, for this mentor who booed him from a point guard who would be booed by the home fans to the strongest point guard in the league today, as soon as he spoke, Nash knew what D'Antoni wanted to ask, Nash sighed and said: "Coach, his physical talent really has nothing to say, but I'm not afraid of those who play with their bodies." ”

Seeing D'Antoni nodding in agreement, Nash continued: "But this Chinese is different, when he defended me, he didn't rely on his physical talent at all, but played with his brain!" He seems to be able to see my every move, sometimes even the passing line! It's horrible! I feel like he's in control! No player has ever felt this way for me! ”

Hearing Nash say this, D'Antoni was also shocked, is there really such a terrible player? If that's the case, then I'm afraid you need to put him and Kobe Bryant on the same level. But how is it possible for a rookie to do this?

While D'Antoni and Nash were silent, the Lakers' side was buzzing. Odom was not idle on the bench, pulling Li Du to ask this and that, and also learned the steps of Li Du's positioning! With one foot forward and one heel up, he said it felt like dancing. He also made a dancing gesture in his hand, which made his teammates laugh.

Everyone's interest is so high, because they can see that Nash was not well suppressed by Li Du, although the Suns are still strong in offense, but without Nash's push, they are no longer the bombardment team that makes the whole league frightened!

Li Du didn't mess with his teammates, he stood on the sidelines and hit the bear eagle. This kung fu can be said to be the pinnacle of Xingyi boxing, as long as you get the essence, you can not only quickly recover your physical strength, but also make your physical strength increase in normal times! It fully shows the meaning of Zhuangzi's "Bear Jing Bird Shen".

And Li Du also knows that although this kung fu is based on health preservation, as a mastery of Shang-style Xingyi Fist, how can there be no fighting skills? If the bear eagle combines to practice at home and enters the level of strength, the strength of one body is not much different from that of a real bear! That is the pinnacle action of Xingyi boxing's close-knit short fight, crocodile tail cutting! That's a terrifying trick that can tear the enemy alive!

When Kobe Bryant saw Li Du standing on the sidelines and posing in a very strange pose, he knew that Li Du was practicing. Shang Yun healed his wounds with dark energy for more than two months, and he also had some knowledge of China's national arts. At that moment, he walked over and said to Li Du: "Li, come and sit and rest for a while, the practice is not in these few minutes." ”

Li Du's body did not move, and he said in his mouth: "Boss, I am recovering my physical strength." Now the advantage is back on our side, but I'm still not comfortable with Nash. Last season's MVP was not so easy to suppress. I'm going to keep my best stamina and let him know what real despair is! ”

Seeing Li Du say this, Kobe Bryant didn't persuade him, and while walking back, he muttered: "You guy, it will be a nightmare for all opposing players!" But I really want to experience it! ”

It's hard for bench players to change things on the court, especially in the Lakers and Suns. With seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Zen master replaced the substitute players and put the main players on the court again.

D'Antoni also knew that the decisive moment of this game was coming, and he also changed the main players on the field. It's just that before Nash came on the court, he stopped Nash and said, "Steve, you're the best point guard, I can't be wrong about that!" I'm sure you think so too! ”

Nash paused for a moment, and then understood what D'Antoni meant: since he is the strongest point guard, then, he will win all the challenges! Including this terrible rookie in front of you!

Slapping himself hard in the face, Nash settled down, and then took the ball and quickly advanced towards the Lakers' half. Li Du immediately came up to the defense, but this time, Nash did not avoid Li Du again, he protected the ball and did not give Li Du any chance to break the ball, while beckoning Xiao Si and Dior to come up and double block and dismantle.
