On the Suns side, Li Ba began to attack in the fourth quarter and beat O'Neal in the low post.

O'Neal played half a quarter, weighed too much, and couldn't keep up with Li Ba's mobility at all.

Li Ba now has a close shot, and O'Neal can no longer directly retreat to the rim. The result is that Li Ba takes the ball outside first, and then frequently uses top-level turns and the first step to easily get rid of O'Neal. Needless to say later. , Easy and efficient.

In the first half of the quarter, Li Ba attacked and beat O'Neal 6 times in a row, so that O'Neal finally hugged him, and then he was replaced.

With Li Ba's outbreak, 104:92, the Suns led by 12 points, this is the first time tonight the difference between the two points.

Barkley said: "The hammer's ability to move is really a bug among the inside players, and the Cavaliers traded O'Neal during the offseason. It can be said that they have failed. Let me say that the Cavaliers should have traded at the beginning. What they lack most is not the center. , Big Z and could have supported the fifth position. After Drew Gooden left, what they were short of was the fourth position."

"No, I can't say that yet."

Kenny Smith said: "It should be said that without O'Neal, the Cavaliers have made it to the finals. Its opponent must be the Lakers or one of the Suns and Mavericks. From now on, the Cavaliers with O'Neal have difficulty playing the Suns, but playing the Lakers Or the Mavericks, have an advantage, because these two teams are traditional positional teams."

Barkley said: "So you mean, if the Mavericks or Lakers make the Western Conference finals, then the deal is a success?"

"Yes, that's what I meant." Kenny Smith laughed.

Barkley thought for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Something makes sense."

The Cavaliers called a timeout, the timeout came back, and the game continued.

The Cavaliers inside is composed of Big Z and Joe Smith.

Joe Smith was the No. 1 pick in 1995. He was a star player in the American basketball world. However, it was related to the Timberwolves secret appointment scandal. Now he is about to retire, playing bankruptcy, and earning some pension money.

The so-called secret appointment scandal is a fake contract, using two contracts to evade the alliance's luxury tax, which was brought out by his agent Dan Fegan.

He joined the Timberwolves, and it was Fagan who confuses the Warriors and traded him to the Timberwolves. After the secret agreement was exposed, he became a free agent under the order of the league. He did not get the Timberwolves contract, and his career was seriously affected.

However, the inside combination of Big Z and Joe Smith is still not the opponent of Li Ba and Gasol. The Suns still focus on the inside and blow up this combination.

The Cavaliers were blown up inside, and the offense could only be launched from the outside, but James was strongly defended by the U.S., and the efficiency was not high enough, and he could not break through, so the outside efficiency was not enough.

After losing both inside and outside, the Cavaliers lost the game 116:100.

In 48 minutes, Li Ba scored 39 points, 22 rebounds, 12 assists, 10 steals, 9 blocks, 2 turnovers, and 3 fouls. He was only one block short and almost hit his sixth five-double.

Zhang Liangyi sighed: "The Cavaliers didn't have an inside attack in the fourth quarter, otherwise this five-double will definitely be a success."

Yu Jiadao: "The Cavaliers have big Z+O'Neal inside, but unfortunately they are all old! Then there is no suitable power forward. If the Cavaliers can't win the championship this season, there must be an inside problem."

Xu Jicheng said: "It turns out that there is still a big one, but after trading O'Neal, he traded the big one back to the Pistons. I think if the big one is there and playing against the Suns, it should be better than it is now?"

Zhang Fangyi shook his head and said: "O'Neal's data is okay. The big Ben status is really bad. It's not good at all, and he is about to retire. He is in a mixed game. The Sun wanted to sign the big Ben the year before, but fortunately he didn't sign in, or he would be pitted. Up."

Yu Jiadao: "In today's two games, Hammer and Yao both broke out, but the Arab League is also good, regardless of his poor data, but without him, the Suns would not defend James."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "Today the UAE's score was taken away by the Hammer. He defended and the Hammer attacked, haha!"

On the court, James was a little frustrated.

He thought he could win, but he didn't expect to lose 16 points. Li Ba didn't play much in the next three or four minutes, otherwise the points difference would be even greater.

He also saw that when playing against the Suns, as the Hammer said, there were problems in the interior, too slow, unable to keep up, and attacking. The Hammer's defense was too strong, and both offensive and defensive ends were blown up.

And he himself, later confronted with Yi, was also greatly reduced in efficiency.

He regrets that he didn't trade before the Suns.

He knows Yi's strength. He has known Yi for more than eight years, so why didn't he think of Trading Yi?

But in fact, he knows the reason for not trading Yi, because Yi played in the third position in the Eagles, and previously played in the third position in the Chinese national team, and the Cavaliers have him and Gerald Wallace two top small forwards. How can the team trade small forwards?

But today Yi played well against him at the third position and played well at the fourth position. The Cavaliers lacked power forwards, and they were in short supply!

But the real trouble is that it is now easy to get to the Suns, and the Cavaliers are likely to meet the Suns in the Finals. This trouble may be fatal.

On the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley said: "Now the ratings of the five Christmas games have come out, only the Suns and the Cavaliers have over 100 million ratings, and even reached 130 million. Congratulations to the two teams!"

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "The Lakers and the Heat have reached 60 million, which shows that our market has indeed expanded too much. In addition, the Lakers and the Heat, Yao and Garnett exchange camps, the performance is very good. Yes, Garnett got 18+9 stats, but Yao was even better with a 40+10 performance..."

He didn't finish his words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Barkley burst into laughter and said: "Kenny, don't rush to say that this deal is a failure. After all, the Lakers have to pass the Suns to make it to the Finals."

"Yes, Garnett can beat the Hammers, he doesn't need to go to the Heat, after all, the Timberwolves three-headed monster lineup is also super strong." Kenny Smith laughed.

"So you insist that Yao Dan's change to Garnett is a failed trade." Barkley laughed.

"Garnett can indeed replace many of Yao's tactical positions in the Lakers, but he does have a significant decline now. After this season, he may decline even more. And Yao is 4 years younger than Garnett. His current performance, Two years is no problem." Kenny Smith laughed.

"Then we look forward to the next performance of both sides, and also look forward to the performance of the Lakers and Suns in the playoffs." Barkley laughed.

Li Ba was interviewed on the spot. A reporter asked him his opinion on the strength of this Cavaliers team. He said: "I have told LeBron a long time ago that they have problems with their insides. They are too old and too slow. Weak, this kind of inside can play other teams, but play with us..."

He shook his head and said, "No."
