Chapter 16 Chinese martial arts footwork, unrivaled in the world (please recommend, collect)

When the Lakers were attacking, Kobe still went his own way, relying on his super personal scoring ability to either draw fouls or score directly.But the Lakers still have no good way to defend the Suns' pick-and-roll. Even if Li Du tries his best to grab it, the rotation of other players behind him is often too late.

When no one can defend anyone, Kobe is an individual offense after all, and his shooting percentage is always much lower than that of the Suns' overall offense. Seven and a half minutes into the first quarter, D'Antoni replaced Nash and Stoudemire. Zen Master replaced Kobe and Li Du to rest.

巴克利拿着双方球员第一节的数据统计，大声称奇：“科比重回巅峰了！第一节他8投5中，其中三分球1投1中，罚球4罚4中，独得15分！科比今天又很有机会拿下40+。”

Smith said: "Kobe's scoring ability is unquestionable, but the Lakers have been relying on him alone to attack. The Suns have now relied on the efforts of the whole team to turn the score into 25 to 19. In other words, the Lakers Except for Kobe, the others only scored 4 points in total! If this continues, it will be very difficult for the Lakers to win!"

“那倒不一定！”巴克利神秘地笑着：“我再念另一份数据统计。湖人的新秀19号李杜，0分1抢断0篮板0助攻，哈哈，0犯规。”

"This statistic cannot show Li Du's role on the field. We saw that he worked very hard on the defensive end and did a good job!" Smith thought that Barkley was going to scold Li Du again, and began to defend Li Du.

Barkley said with a smile: "Old friend, don't worry, look at Nash's data again. 2 points, 2 assists and 3 turnovers! In comparison, Nash suffered a big loss from the Lakers rookie! He was severely restricted by Li Du !"

Smith understood what Barkley was going to say: "You mean, the rookie of the Lakers can block Nash? Indeed, everyone knows that as long as Nash is blocked, the Suns will definitely lose to the Lakers. However, it is just a rookie. Can he do it?"

Barkley and Smith are both veterans, and they are paving the way for the following games, adding gimmicks, and increasing the spectacle of the game.There is no doubt that at this time, whether Li Du can defend Nash has become an important point of this game, and it has also become an important matchup between the two teams in this game!
On the Suns' bench, Nash lay flat in the rest area. His spine had been injured all the time and he couldn't sit for a long time. So as long as it wasn't a particularly urgent situation, he would lie on the sidelines and watch the game when he was resting.Nash was lying down, but his eyes were not on the court. Instead, he looked at the Lakers' bench. There, the Chinese No. 19 just now defended himself very badly. If he is not young, the Lakers are not good at defense. If it is a pick-and-roll, the game will hang by itself.

Stoudemire came over, sat down next to Nash, and asked, "Steve, what's the matter? That rookie is really strong, but I've never seen you so tired."

Nash shook his head and said, "Amare, you don't know. That kid is a monster! One-on-one defense never loses his position, and he is very oppressive. If it weren't for our pick-and-roll Lakers who couldn't break it, this game I'm afraid the game will fall into his hands!"

"I didn't see this, but his physical fitness is too strong!" Stoudemire still has lingering fears about the shocking cap that Li Du gave him at the beginning of the game.

For the Lakers, Phil was directing the players on the sidelines. Kobe and Fisher were silent, and Li Du was also lowering his head, thinking about how to break the pick-and-roll of Nash and Stoudemire.

Finally, Kobe said to Li Du: "Li, after you play for a while, start running. We will help you with off-ball screens. If there is a chance, I will try to pass it to you!"

Li Du replied: "Okay, boss. But I think you played very well in the first quarter. Why did you pass the ball so quickly?"

The score fell behind, and Kobe was in a bad mood, but he still explained: "Because I want to save energy! On the one hand, I want to have enough energy to play at the end, and on the other hand, I am worried about being injured again."

Li Du shook his head and said: "Impossible. Boss, don't worry, my master will take action, and your knee will no longer have any hidden dangers of injury!"

Fisher patted Li Du on the side, and said: "Li, many players' injuries are actually fatigue injuries. The season is so long. If you don't ensure sufficient physical strength, you will be easily injured during games and training. This has nothing to do with recovery. The situation doesn't matter."

"So that's how it is!" Li Du thought thoughtfully, "I have never been overly tired, and my physical strength has always been sufficient. And for me, even if my physical strength is exhausted, I can adjust it back. It seems that the cultivation of Chinese martial arts is indeed Can't let go!"

After the first quarter, the Suns led the Lakers by 33 points 27 to 6.During the intermission, Master Zen was a little disappointed with everyone's performance. He said: "This is our revenge battle. If it still ends like this, we should just give up."

Without waiting for others to say anything, he continued: "If we don't want to lose this game, we still need to maintain our own rhythm and let the opponent follow us."

Next, Phil continued to order: "Kobe, the Suns are starting to double-team you, you have to pay attention to the positions of other teammates, and pass it out as soon as you have a chance." Seeing Kobe nodding, Phil was secretly relieved, and then told Lee Du said: "Lee, start running, ready to catch the ball and shoot at any time. Everyone else, help Li set up off-ball screens!"

After everything was explained, the substitute players continued to play. Li Du took the opportunity to ask Zen Master: "Coach, I can't always put Nash's pick and roll, what should I do?"

Zen Master turned around and looked at Li Du with a smile, and said, "Actually, you have done a good job. But if you really want to defend against their pick-and-roll, there is a way, but it will consume a lot of your energy. "

Li Du quickly said: "Coach, don't worry, my physical strength is fine."

The Zen master whispered to Li Du: "It may be difficult for others to do it. You have footwork and physical conditions that I have never seen before. Maybe you can. Let's do it this way..."

In the second half of the second quarter, both sides replaced their main players.At this time, the Suns had led by 45 points 38 to 7.

Nash felt uncomfortable seeing Li Du, but now that the Lakers are attacking, Nash ran to the other side to guard Fisher.

Kobe winked at Li Du, Li Du understood and began to move.The ball was still in Kobe's hands, and Lagabel quickly put up defense, and at the same time secretly made gestures to remind his teammates to prepare for double-teaming and assisting defense.

Kobe still broke through Lagabell easily. Just when he was about to kill inside, Dior rushed out, and Lagabell, who turned around, was about to double-team Kobe.

Seeing the double-teaming, Kobe still dribbled the ball unhurriedly looking for opportunities to break through.Looks like he's going it alone again!With this belief strengthened, the two double-teamed even more resolutely.

Unexpectedly, just when they were about to surround Kobe, Kobe suddenly shook his hand and passed the ball from behind to Li Du who had already thrown off Barbosa at some point.

After receiving the ball, Li Du didn't stop at all, and just raised his hand to score a three-pointer. "Swipe" the basketball into the frame.

45 to 41, after Li Du made a three-pointer, the Lakers were only 4 points behind.

"Three-point running without the ball! Is he still a shooter?" Barkley yelled loudly, and this Li Du surprised him too much.

Smith also looked shocked, "Good defense, and beautiful running and shooting skills, the Lakers really picked up a treasure this time!" After Li Du scored a three-pointer, the audience cheered enthusiastically.

With a sullen face, Nash looked at the Lakers players returning to defense. No one thought that the rookie of the Lakers was still hiding this trick!Especially the way he ran just now, Nash had never seen it before. It seemed that he was running at full speed, and he seemed to follow each other. The front and rear feet followed in a strange way. Get rid of it!
Quickly advancing to the frontcourt, Nash, as always, looked for the best time to pick and roll with Stoudemire.But this time, Li Du stuck closer, leaving almost no room for Nash to break through.Nash quickly saw that Li Du had stepped up his oppression, and wanted to use this method to force him to move the pick-and-roll position back.

"You want me to go backwards?" Nash sneered in his heart, "I'm afraid you will regret it!" Thinking so in his heart, Nash raised his head and glanced at Stoudemire.Stoudemire understood and immediately came up to prepare for the pick-and-roll.

"Still doing this trick?" Li Du also sneered in his heart. Just as Stoudemire went up the line and was about to pick and roll Nash, Li Du suddenly stepped back two steps obliquely at his feet, letting Stoudemire get out of the way. With this change, Nash and Stoudemire, who were supposed to pick and roll, became blocked in front of Li Du!

"Opportunity!" Nash saw Li Du stepping back, seemingly blocked by Stoudemire, and wanted to raise his hand to shoot a three-pointer.But when he looked up at the basket, he realized that he was standing three or four steps away from the three-point line.Shooting from this position, Nash's shooting percentage is not high.

"It turned out that he forced me to retreat in advance to push me farther to shoot a three-pointer!" Nash immediately understood Li Du's intention, and naturally had a way to deal with it.

When he used Xiaosi to block in front of Li Du, he suddenly moved across to the left. Li Du just took a step to keep up, but was blocked by Xiaosi again.At this time, Kwame Brown finally came out from the inside, and he blocked Nash's way forward.

Nash didn't care at all, and just passed Kwame Brown with an acceleration, and went inside to prepare for a layup.But as soon as he started, he heard Dior yelling "Be careful!".Before Nash could react, Li Du jumped up along with Nash at some point. His long and wide hands covered Nash's shooting line to death!
Nash took a glance and found that Barbosa had already cut in. He immediately retracted the basketball in the air, flicked his left hand, and passed the ball to Barbosa who just cut in.

"Strike!" This momentary change made both Barkley and Smith applaud!
Barbosa received a pass from Nash and was about to pick the basket.But just when his hand was stretched out and the basketball was about to leave his fingertips, a big yellow hand grabbed it and grabbed the basketball in his hand!It was Li Du who used his Bengquan to get in front of Barbosa with a kick after landing!
Grabbing the basketball, Li Du immediately passed the ball to Fisher. Fisher tapped his finger, and the basketball flew forward. Kobe was already waiting there!Kobe easily dunked the ball in, and the score narrowed again, 45 to 43, and the two sides were only two points away!

D'Antoni quickly called a timeout.
