Chapter 1233 Wade Is Forced to Take Control of the Ball
At the moment before the ball was released, a big hand went around Wade's body and stabbed the ball accurately, causing the ball to fall.
Wade hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the ball, but at this moment Li Ba jumped behind him, rushed to the floor before him, slid forward one meter, and then grabbed the ball.
"dad!"
Seeing Li Ba fall to the ground, Guo Guo jumped up anxiously.
Li Ba lay on the floor and passed the ball to Ginobili, then got up and rushed directly to the basket.
James and Wade both chose to follow Li Ba.
At this time, Ginobili passed the ball, and Li Ba caught the ball with one hand without looking back. After two steps, he took off and attacked the basket.
James and Wade jumped up from behind to chase the ball at the same time, and Wade's right hand even hung directly on Li Ba's right shoulder.
"boom!"
With a person hanging on his back, Li Ba still pushed the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Pa bang bang..."
The American Airlines Center gave Li Ba a huge round of applause.
"Beautiful, this shot was so strong! Hammer used his performance to win applause from the home fans in the finals. This is so rare!"
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
The referee gave Wade a pulling foul, Li Ba's goal was valid, and he added a penalty goal.
Li Bajia scored a free throw, 77:72, and the Suns led by 5 points.
Heat offense.
Li Ba went around and James ran in the opposite direction, trying to get rid of the former to catch the ball.
But Li Ba had a lock and quickly followed James, cutting off his receiving route again.
This happened several times, and James was very helpless.
James Jones was not a rookie and did not dare to force the lob, so he had to pass it to Wade, who advanced with the ball.
"The Hammer's defense is truly unprecedented!" Zhang Lili boasted with a look of admiration on his face.
Wade broke through again, this time being blocked by Ginobili.
"Here, Dwayne," Bosh yelled from the right wing.
His mobility was better than that of UAE Lian, so he got rid of the latter and got the chance to catch the ball.
At this moment, Li Ba stared at Wade and started the moment he passed the ball.
Instead of stealing the ball, he pounced on Bosh.
As soon as Bosh caught the ball, Alian defended him. He wanted to turn around and break through, but then Li Ba's double-team came up.
A second later, Bosh lost the ball.
Seeing Li Ba steal the ball, James immediately turned around and returned to defense.
He ran to the basket, and as soon as he turned around and before he could get a firm footing, he was hit by Li Ba. The huge pressure came towards him, making him almost unable to breathe.
Then, without a firm footing, he was forced into the reasonable collision zone.
At this moment, Li Ba took off with the ball in both hands.
At this moment, James jumped to block the shot.
"Bang!"
The two collided in the air.
The extremely heavy impact made the eyes of all the fans twitch, and their teeth felt sore.
"Well!"
The moment he was hit, a stream of air was squeezed out of his lungs. James let out a strange scream, then fell from the air, staggered, and fell under the basket with a bang.
And Li Ba, thanks to the powerful impact, was knocked slightly backwards in the air. Through the force of his waist and abdominal muscles, he stabilized his balance again. He held the ball with both arms and hit it forward. With a bang, Smashed the Heat's basket.
The entire American Airlines Center was smashed into silence.
"Hoo ho..."
After landing, Li Ba had to gasp a few times due to the intense physical exertion.
"Come again!"
James got up from the floor and yelled at Li Ba unwilling to admit defeat.
Li Ba smiled and stood in front of James. The battle started on the spot and directly entered the next round of competition.
James was so frustrated that he couldn't catch the ball again.
"Iron Hammer, if you dare, let's fight in a duel."
He yelled at Li Ba angrily.
"Have you thought about it?" Li Ba said.
James was choked. How many times had he been blocked and interrupted by Li Ba in the limited opportunities for confrontation? He really didn't dare to challenge Li Ba in a duel.
Wade held the ball again and was forced to take control.
James was entangled by Li Ba. In desperation, he had to pull Li Ba outside the three-point line on the left wing to keep Li Ba away from Wade's right wing to prevent him from double-teaming Wade again.
Barkley saw this and said: "James is very smart. He was restricted by the hammer, but he also kept the hammer away from the game."
This played until the 7th minute of the final quarter, 85:84, with the Suns still leading by 1 point, and the Suns called a timeout.
Zhang He understood and said: "The Hammers were also restrained by James. Without his help in defense, the Suns were also very passive on the defensive end.
Fortunately, the offensive end was not completely shut down. Ginobili and Carter also made three shots. Li Ba made a fast break. It was okay on the offensive end, but the internal containment was not enough to open up the Heat's defense. The outside shooting rate is not high enough, and the leading points are almost lost.
It will definitely not work if we continue to fight like this. The Suns will lose sooner or later. The Hammers must participate on both ends of the offense and defense, especially the defensive end. Just guarding James to death is not enough. "
Yu Jia took Li Ba's statistics sheet and read: "The Hammers have scored 28 points, 22 rebounds, 8 assists, 9 steals, 12 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. A five-double is in sight today."
"You have to win, otherwise five pairs are meaningless." Xu Jicheng said.
Sitting on the bench, Li Ba reflected on the matchup between himself and James and felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
Keeping James from catching the ball and isolating him from the game is actually not the best defensive method because he is also isolated.
After the timeout, Yi Jianlian replaced the Polish Hammer and the Suns attacked.
Li Ba advanced with the ball, and James still defended and retreated, not risking stealing.
Near the top of the arc, Yi Jianlian pulled Bosh away and reached the right wing three-point line. Only Haslem and Gasol were active under the basket.
Li Ba did not stop, and suddenly accelerated, like a gust of wind, swept past James and rushed into the paint area.
James reacted half a beat slower, and he couldn't hold him back, so he hurriedly turned around and chased him in.
But when he turned around, he was already a step slower.
Seeing Li Ba rushing in, Gasol quickly held Haslem with one hand and made a blocking gesture with the other hand.
But can this kind of defense stop Li Ba from attacking the basket?
He took a step forward and made a change of direction, holding the ball high in his right hand, and then jumped up facing the basket.
Li Ba's change of direction forced Gasol to adjust his position before jumping to block the shot.
But Li Ba jumped so fast that Gasol had just jumped and a tomahawk dunk was already blasted down.
"Bang!"
The explosive sound of the basket blasting sounded above Gasol's head, and then he was knocked away by Li Ba and fell under the basket.
"Yeah!"
Three thousand away fans cheered, and the entire Suns' bench was boiling with excitement, and white towels were constantly waving.
"Dad is so great!"
There was also a little elf jumping next to the bench.
