279: Li Ang’s domain is open!(1/5)
Nash and O'Neal took turns being educated, which was clearly a slap in the face for Leon.
The bullying has come to us, Lao Li, and I won’t agree to it!
The Lakers got off to a very strong start, fully demonstrating the luxury of their lineup.
When it comes to the Lakers F4, many people think that they are just a bunch of rookies. After all, they were swept by the Pistons in the finals, which was very humiliating.
But in the first generation of Lakers F4, they fought their way out of the powerful Western Conference and reached the finals.
In the regular season, they still managed to win 56 games despite having many injured players.
Although the first-generation Lakers F4 failed to win the championship, it was definitely considered a first-rate team.
What's more, when this Lakers meet Li Ang, except for Payton, every one of the five tigers has a strong revenge mentality.
This will give them greater fighting power.
4-0, it’s the Suns’ attack.
Nash still hopes to attack through rapid advancement, but he really can't get rid of Payton.
The most criticized thing during Payton's time with the Lakers was his disastrous performance in the Finals.
In the historical 2004 Finals, Payton only averaged 4.2 points and 4.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per game, and his shooting percentage was an exaggerated 32.1%.
Basically it can be said that it has no positive effect at all.
In those five Finals games, Payton lost his game late in the game and beat Billups to the Finals MVP title.
But in fact, Payton didn't play that well in the regular season. During the regular season, Payton averaged 14.6 points per game and shot 47.1% from the field.
Definitely a qualified point guard.
The reason Payton pulled so hard in the Finals was because Billups hit Payton's weak spot.
Billups is fast and strong enough, and his butt is like that of a smaller version of Leon.
So whether it's defense or offense, Payton is very much in control.
Payton happened to meet an opponent who restrained him, so he was beaten black and blue.
Payton was guarded by Billups at that time. In some rounds, he couldn't even dribble past half court. It was so exaggerated.
The requirements for the point guard in the triangle offense, to put it bluntly, just require you to carry the ball across half the court, and no organization is required at all.
And Payton couldn't even do such a simple job well in the Finals. It would be strange for the Lakers to win.
Although he was beaten into a dog in the finals, it does not mean that Payton is completely useless. At least Payton can defend well against someone with a weak body like Nash.
Not to mention completely restricting Nash, but forcing Nash to slow down is still no problem.
Payton forced Nash to stop again, and the Suns' offense once again had to fall into position.
Li Ang was just about to ask for the ball and show off his skills, but O'Neal was the first to raise his arm in the three-second zone.
Nash gave the ball in, and O'Neill wanted to single out Shaq!
O'Neal knew that fighting against Shaq was asking for trouble, so he decided to use a face-to-face attack to deal with Shaq.
Xiao Ao is not angry with Li Ang now, but he knows that as a qualified leader, he should stand up in the most difficult times.
O'Neal Jr. faced the frame and made a triple threat move, and then accelerated to break through.
Although Shaq is not as fast as O'Brien, he is wide enough.
How do you say the famous line of Stephen Whale, a famous modernist poet in the 21st century? Ibaka is long, O'Neal is wide.
I'm really not kidding you.
Shaq took a step sideways and used his strong body to block O'Brien.
O'Neal had no choice but to force the shot against O'Neal.
The result is obvious. The basketball was not accurate at all and just missed the frame.
The Suns' positional offense still didn't score!
The Lakers counterattacked slowly and leisurely. Payton glanced at Nash who was standing in front of him, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to pull away.
He's going to start abusing food!
Payton directly hit Nash with his back, making the delicate Nash tremble.
After reaching the mid-range position, Payton turned and elbowed Nash open, and then went straight to the basket.
O'Neal Jr. quickly stepped forward to cover up the defense and hit Payton hard in the air.
But at this time, the referee's whistle sounded.
O'Neal Jr. made a defensive foul and Payton made two free throws!
After winning two free throws, Payton was very proud. He tilted his mouth and looked at Nash: "Passing you is like crossing the road in the early morning."
Nash clenched his fists and said nothing.
Li Ang looked anxious, but you should spray it back!
Payton made two free throws at the free throw line, and the Lakers started 6-0!
At this time, the cheers of Lakers fans in the stands of America West Arena even overwhelmed the cheers of the home fans.
The whole world is praising this Lakers and praising the strength of the Lakers.
Li Ang could no longer watch the Lakers widen the point difference, so he winked at Nash and signaled Nash to pass the ball to him in this round.
The obedient Nash did pass the ball to Li Ang after halftime, but the moment Li Ang was about to receive it, the poisonous snake attacked.
Kobe suddenly came out, spread his fingers, and intercepted the pass midway.
"hateful!"
Li Ang even forgot that it was Kobe who was keeping an eye on him today.
In front of this No. 8 who only wants revenge, any random pass is very dangerous.
After Kobe stole the ball, he quickly counterattacked, followed by Li Ang.
When Kobe had already reached the Suns' half court, Li Ang, who had been staying by Kobe's side, was about to cut the basketball out of Kobe's hands.
After all, it's not easy to beat Kobe from this angle. The best way is to cut the ball off before Kobe takes off.
Li Ang reached for the ball, but just when Li Ang's fingertips were about to touch the basketball, Kobe suddenly moved the ball behind his back and changed hands from behind!
After changing hands, Kobe took off directly, turned 180° in the air, and scored with a one-handed behind-the-back dunk!
From changing hands to back-buttoning, Kobe's movements were completed in one go. He won this 1-on-1 duel with Li Ang.
8 to 0!
"The Suns are in disarray and they haven't organized a successful offense or scored a goal so far.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The performance of Steve and Jermaine when facing powerful enemies seems not to be satisfactory.
The point difference has become 8 points, let's see if it is possible for the Lakers to gain a double-digit advantage in the opening stage!"
At this time, the live footage showed last season’s FMVP Li Ang.
At the moment, it seems that only he can lead the Suns out of trouble.
Against a team like the Cavaliers, maybe O'Neal is enough.
But if something really happens, everyone knows that it is Li Ang who has to come forward.
Li Ang looked at the score on the big screen and waved to O'Neal, who was about to take the baseline kick: "Just give me the ball."
"But Li..."
"Give me the damn ball!"
Li Ang personally took the basketball and took the ball across the half court.
Tomjanovich also touched his chin, wondering what the outcome of this attack would be.
Kobe lowered his center of gravity and stared directly at Li Ang.
Li Ang also bent down and started dribbling, and the cheers suddenly doubled in volume.
"Lee is going to fight Kobe directly, let's see what he will do!"
In the past, Li Ang would not have challenged Kobe like this.
But now, his attack ability in the mid-range has become much stronger.
Therefore, even when facing Kobe Bryant, who has strong defense, Li Ang is very confident.
Walking in front of Kobe, Li Ang directly held the ball with his back.
Kobe is convinced, besides playing from behind, can you do anything else!?
Just when everyone thought Li Ang was going to start using his 5-8-power butt, Li Ang suddenly passed the ball to Nash.
Nash had already slipped into the penalty area at this time, and Li Ang thought that it would be no problem for him to lay up after receiving the ball.
But I don’t know if Lao Na was not confident because he was sprayed by Payton today. After he walked to the basket with the ball... he came out from the basket and passed the ball back to Li Ang.
To be continued...
