Chapter 1238 The Divine Calculator's Calculation

Li Ba took free throws, he aimed at the basket carefully and made the first one.

At this time, Pat Riley called a timeout.

After the players left the court, he shouted at Gasol in a low voice very sternly: "Mark, you have to hold the hammer, don't let him get up, don't let him get up, remember?"

"I know, sir." Gasol nodded repeatedly.

"But you have to control your fouls and use the defensive techniques you learned from him to deal with him." Pat Riley reminded.

Then he thought for a while and said: "The hammer is definitely going to cause damage. When he pulls out to receive the ball, you don't follow him out, just wait for him inside, he will definitely take the initiative to back you. Remember to use your skills, don't hold him, you can't hold him, you must know how to take the initiative to unload the force, and never lose your center of gravity."

After the timeout, Li Ba made the second free throw, 4:7, the Suns led, and the Heat attacked.

"The hammer made good free throws today, and he made all three free throws." Yu Jia smiled.

This time, Bosh and Wade still played pick-and-roll on the weak side, but Yi Jianlian made a good defense against the pick-and-roll, bypassing Wade and not defending Bosh first, but first cutting off the passing route between Bosh and James.

At the same time, Ginobili also cut off the passing route between Wade and James.

Unable to form a mismatch advantage, Bosh and Wade immediately rushed to the paint area, trying to form a situation of more people against fewer people under the basket.

But this time Ginobili and Yi Jianlian were prepared and followed them.

James made a long two-point shot and hit it.

6:7, the Suns attacked.

"Although he made the shot, the Suns' defense played out. The shot was James's ability. Dudley really couldn't defend him."

Zhang Heli said.

Li Ba first walked to the basket, and then came out to receive the ball.

He found that Gasol did not follow him, but he still chose to back the latter after receiving the ball.

But when he was arching back, he found that Gasol had retreated a little, which made his arching back ineffective. At this time, James had broken through Dudley's entanglement and rushed in front of him.

There was no way to cause damage, so Li Ba had to jump up immediately, turned sideways in the air, avoided James' double-team, and hooked the ball to the basket with his right hand.

Gasol jumped up in time to block the shot. Although he didn't block it, he didn't commit a foul.

"Bang!"

The hook shot missed.

Li Ba landed and prepared to jump again. At this time, James behind him jumped first and grabbed the rebound.

The attack under the basket failed, and Li Ba immediately retreated quickly.

After James passed the ball, he also rushed down and rushed to the frontcourt.

The two rushed into the Heat's frontcourt one after the other. At this time, Bibby passed the ball to James.

At the moment he shot, Li Ba suddenly stopped and turned around, spread his arms, and blocked in front of James.

At this time, James received the ball, but didn't react. With a bang, he bumped into Li Ba, who didn't block it and stumbled backwards and almost fell.

"Beep!"

The referee whistled and pointed at James, saying that he was fouling someone with the ball.

James was a little confused. This was his second foul.

"Haha, the Hammer turned around so fast!" Barkley laughed while slapping the table.

"This is the first time that the Hammer has committed a foul like this, and James has become the victim." Kenny Smith laughed helplessly.

Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "James has committed his second foul, great!"

The Suns served the ball from the sideline, and Nash received the ball.

Li Ba was in a high position, and James was defending below.

At this time, he saw Gasol Jr. entering the basket from the low position on the left wing. Suddenly, he turned very quickly, took a step from James, and rushed to the basket.

Nash instinctively flicked his hand and passed the ball to the basket.

Li Ba rushed into the paint area and jumped up. He "saw" the ball coming, and immediately took a step and jumped up with all his strength.

When he jumped high into the air, he put his hands together above his head and caught the ball accurately.

The next moment, Gasol jumped from the left side of the basket to block the shot, and Li Ba attacked the basket head-on.

"Bang!"

Pressing Gasol's hand, the Heat's basket was smashed two feet.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, and the referee ran over and pointed at Gasol, making a hand-hitting foul gesture.

"Yeah!"

The super dunk appeared, and the whole audience was boiling.

"Beautiful! So beautiful! Gasol and James both had two fouls at the beginning..." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Zhang Heli said cheerfully: "The turn and first step of Tiechui are really fast!"

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "In fact, James' turn and first step are also very fast now, but still not as good as Tiechui."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "After the fly-catching training, James' first step is very clean, and he doesn't have the problem he had when playing rugby before."

Zhang Heli said: "Yes, when he first entered the league, he couldn't explain clearly when he broke through in the first step, which affected the speed of his first step. He didn't have this problem in the past few seasons. It's mainly fly-catching training, sudden force, very clean and neat, if you are slow, you can't hit the fly."

Before Li Ba made the free throw, Pat Riley replaced Gasol and provided some protection.

Next, Li Ba missed the free throw and Bosh grabbed the rebound.

The Heat sent Big Z, who is 36 years old. As a 221-centimeter center, he is now very old and slow. How can he hold up against Li Ba?

In just five minutes, Li Ba successfully attacked the basket four times, causing Da Z to commit three fouls, made two two-plus-ones, made a free throw, and scored another 9 points in a row.

However, the Heat also had a good touch today. Bosh and Wade both made one of two shots, and Bosh made a three-pointer.

At the 8th minute of the first quarter, 11:18, the Heat were 7 points behind.

The Heat called a timeout again, this time using the 20-second timeout in the first half.

Barkley said: "Today, Hammer completely took over the offensive end. He was desperate to cause damage to the Heat's inside line. All the offense was done by him alone. He scored 18 points in a row, but I think this is also a problem. The Heat should react immediately."

Kenny Smith said: "The Heat's reaction was actually a bit slow. Pat Riley should have double-teamed Hammer a long time ago. Anyway, Hammer would not pass the ball."

In fact, Pat Riley has been thinking about this issue.

He is the head coach, he has to be responsible for the game, unlike Barkley and others, who are not responsible for the game at all, so they are more cautious.

But he is not considering whether Li Ba will pass the ball, but the touch of other people on the Suns.

In fact, he has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for the Suns' outside shooting to cool down.

The Suns' outside players are all veterans, and their physical strength has long been exhausted. In this game, they have not been able to get the ball, so the players' shooting will definitely cool down.

If you want to warm up your shooting, you must have the right to shoot. Now that all the shots are controlled by Li Ba, the shooting of other Suns players has become a big problem, because Li Ba cannot shoot all the time, and others will definitely shoot.

And now, the opportunity has come. It has been almost half an hour since the warm-up, and he thinks that the shooting of other Suns players has almost cooled down.
