Chapter 109 Everyone Prepares
The playoffs adopt a 2-2-1-1-1 game system. The Lakers rank fourth, and they won all three games against the Suns in the regular season, so they have home court advantage. The first two games were held in Los Angeles.

In the Staples Arena, Li Du and Nash were standing on the sidelines. Li Du said to Nash, "Senior Nash, I'm sorry, but today our boss ordered me to restrict you to the greatest extent."

"Really, come on!" Nash still acted calmly on the surface, but he was excited in his heart, "Kobe, this guy really holds a grudge! He eliminated the Lakers last season, and he's here for revenge this season!"

The Lakers' starting lineup is:

Point Guard, Derek Fisher

shooting guard, lee duo

small forward, kobe bryant
Power Forward, Lamar Odom

Center, Kwame Brown
The Suns' starting lineup is:

Point Guard, Steve Nash
shooting guard, raja bell
Small Forward, Shawn Marion

power forward, james jones
Center, Amare Stoudemire

As the referee tossed the ball high, the game began.

Stoudemire jumps to the ball first, and Nash controls the ball over the frontcourt.As soon as he crossed the center line, Li Du defended him and gave Nash physical contact as soon as he came up. Li Du pressed against Nash tightly, not giving Nash the slightest chance to breathe.

"Defend like this when you come up?" Nash was forced by Li Du's footsteps to be messy. While stabilizing his figure, he looked at Li Du in surprise.Although it is said that every goal in the playoffs must be contested, the game is very long after all. Li Du used this extremely energy-consuming defensive method when he first came up. In the later stages of the game, there will be problems with the distribution of energy!

So Nash was very puzzled. With Li Duzhi's shrewdness, it is impossible for him not to know about the distribution of physical strength!But this is better, Nash can take this opportunity to consume Li Du.

After changing two fake moves, Li Du couldn't be shaken, so Nash called Stoudemire to come up for the pick-and-roll.

Li Du knew what he was going to do when he saw Nash's hand gestures, and said with a sneer, "Senior Nash, I have already defeated your trick, and you still play this trick?"

"Crack?" Nash smiled mysteriously: "Then you come and try to break it."

As he said that, Nash stood still. Stoudemire just stepped up to block Li Du, and immediately went down. Nash's pass also arrived. Stoudemire scored an easy layup.

"Fake cover!" Li Du laughed and said, "Senior Nash, you really took great pains to deal with us Lakers!"

Nash returned to the defense and said: "To be precise, this is specially used to deal with you!"

Li Du also ran forward, and said coldly to Nash: "Fake cover can only be used as a sneak attack, not a normal tactic. I would like to know what tricks you will use next time!"

Nash didn't answer, and took the initiative to defend Fisher.

"Your opponent is me!" A foul voice came, and Li Du turned his head to see that Marion had followed him.

"My opponent?" Li Du cast a sideways glance at Marion.He knew that Marion was very mobile. When the Suns played against other teams, Marion almost always made the fast break first.And because of his weird shooting movements and extremely fast movement speed, he is called a "hacker".It's a pity that Marion is defending Li Du this time.

Li Du settled down to the three-point line in the left bottom corner, and then looked at Kobe's gestures. As long as Kobe gave an order, Li Du could quickly start and get rid of Marion.

Kobe received Fisher's pass, felt Lagabel's strength with his back, and then didn't let Li Du move at all, and jumped up to shoot after turning the shot directly.Lagabel didn't expect Kobe's first ball to be a large three-pointer with two or three steps across the three-point line.The score was overtaken again!

After the ball was thrown, Li Du did not return to defense, but kept following Nash. As long as he passed the ball to Nash at the kickoff, Li Du would lead the defense all the way to limit the Suns' offensive rhythm.

Nash ran back and forth near the baseline before receiving the pass. Li Du had quick feet and long hands, and Nash couldn't get rid of it.And just when Nash received the ball and was about to push forward, he suddenly found that Li Du's hand had reached the position where he was about to drop the ball. , came a turn around.

Li Du had planned to break Nash's ball this time, but when he saw Nash making this move, his heart moved, and he quickly retreated two or three steps, blocking Nash's front again.

After Nash turned around, he felt vigilant in his heart, and he stopped entangled with Li Du. He took a step back, almost stepped on the bottom line, and threw a long basketball pass.Li Dugang stood firm and had no time to throw the ball forward.

I saw the basketball across the entire court, and it fell steadily into the hands of Marion who had already run below the Lakers free throw line.Beside Marion, Odom has followed up. Seeing that the phone is not good, he made another pass and passed it to James Jones.

Jones is playing the power forward position today. In fact, his height is only 2 meters, and he moves very fast.After receiving a pass from Marion, Jones took advantage of the opportunity to avoid Fisher who was defending, picked the basket and scored the ball.

In this attack, the sun didn't use it for another 7 seconds!
Both Li Du and Nash were still standing in the Suns' half. Seeing this attack, Li Du frowned and didn't say anything.Nash felt like he had escaped a catastrophe. If he hadn't paid special attention to Li Du just now and found out that Li Du was going to steal the ball earlier, I'm afraid this attack would not have been like this!
The Lakers attacked, and this time Kobe gestured for Li Du to move.

Marion kept his eyes on Li Du all the time, but he was almost dazzled when Li Du's figure moved. Li Du ran two steps, and Marion hurried to follow.

Li Du's running position this time is to lead Marion to sway left and right inside the sun. Marion is much stronger than Li Du, and when Li Du runs, he always clings to people and spins. Li Du was on the other side of the inside line.

However, the sun had already expected this to happen. Seeing that he could not keep up, Marion hurriedly raised his hand to signal for a change of defense.James Jones immediately let go of Odom, who was defending him, and followed Li Du to the outside. ,

This is what Kobe wanted. Just when the Suns changed their defense and James Jones was chasing him, Kobe shook, staggered Lagabel by half, and rushed in two steps towards the inside of the Suns.Stoudemire was originally standing in the penalty area, but Kwame Brown withdrew after helping Li Du with an off-ball screen, so he had to follow.It was at this time that Kobe came in!
Lagabel is not as tall and strong as Kobe. After being staggered by Kobe, he also followed a few steps. When Kobe took a step, he was thrown away.Lagabel didn't dare to foul, so he had to watch Kobe Bryant layup and score the ball.

When returning to defense, Li Du still led the defense against Nash, but this time Nash was prepared and did not allow Li Du to steal the ball again.As he was running, Li Du saw Nash flick his wrist and accurately pass the basketball to Stoudemire while running.
