Chapter 1253 Trading Warcraft

In the second quarter, Ray Allen rested off the court for half a quarter, then took down Ginobili in the second half, and Dudley came on to play the third position.

At the same time, the UAE did the same, resting for half a quarter, replacing Xiaoha in the second half, and the Polish Hammer came on to play the entire quarter.

Such a lineup would not work against the Heat. Although Li Ba strengthened his rebounding control and defense, the Heat still regained a lot of points in the second quarter.

The Big Three of the Heat counterattacked desperately and double-teamed Li Ba. They scored 30 to 18 in a single quarter, 47:52. At halftime, the Suns only led by 5 points.

The Suns' offensive ability was seriously lacking in the second quarter. Li Ba served as the main attacker in the second quarter, but was severely double-teamed by the Heat. He made 4 of 9 shots and 4 of 7 free throws. He scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In the half, he made 12 of 17 shots and 10 of 17 free throws. He scored 34 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 4 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls.

Returning to the locker room, Payton immediately asked Li Ba: "Hammer, how is your physical fitness?"

"No problem." Li Ba said.

"what about you?"

Payton asked Ray Allen and Ginobili again.

Both played for a quarter and a half, playing a lot of minutes, but took few shots and ran less. They each took three shots in the second quarter and only made one.

"Gary, I'm ready."

Nash said with an expectant look on his face at this time, he had already taken off his suit.

Payton nodded. Nash had already shown his ability to play in the recovery training in the afternoon. After thinking about it for a while, he said:

"Then in the third quarter, the Hammers, Yi, Lei, Manu, and Steve will fight. The Hammers have to save their energy for the final quarter. This quarter focuses on defense, and the offense is handled by Lei, Manu, and Yi Lai. .”

"OK!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Li Ba raised his right hand and said to everyone: "They said we want a tiebreaker, but we have to win in this game. The Suns' championship never relies on a tiebreaker."

At this point, other people's hands came up, and he yelled: "Brothers, let us defeat the Heat together and defend the dynasty!"

"Overthrow the Heat and defend the dynasty!" Exciting shouts rang out from the Suns locker room.

The halftime break is over and the third quarter begins.

The Heat still started the game with all their starters, and the main force was beaten to death. Pat Riley's harsh style was brought to the extreme.

Sitting on the sidelines, Dayao was glad that he listened to Li Ba and chose the Celtics instead of the Heat, otherwise he might have been ruined.

"Nash?"

Seeing Nash come on to warm up, Pat Riley knew he had been fooled.

"Mike, we must strengthen the confrontation with Nash and try to defeat him."

Before Bibby came on the court, he grabbed Bibby's arm and said in a low and extremely firm tone.

Bibi's teeth trembled. Did he want him to be hit to death by a hammer? It was lucky that he wasn't injured last time, but again?

"It's just a strong confrontation, the hammer can't say anything, you don't have to worry." Pat Riley shouted in a low voice.

Bibby swallowed dryly. He wouldn't believe Pat Riley's nonsense. What about strong confrontation? You know how to fight strong, but not the Hammer? Wasn't the last collision just a strong confrontation? He was almost beaten to death, and the Hammers didn't even get a foul.

Seeing Bibby playing noncommittally, Pat Riley's face was extremely gloomy.

On the other side, Li Ba happened to notice the situation here when he came on the court. When he saw Pat Riley talking to Bibby, he guessed how to defend Nash.

He thought for a while and called Nash, then whispered: "The Heat may intensify their confrontation with you. You try to make as little contact as possible, and we try to speed up the passing of the ball."

He also asked Ginobili and Ray Allen to protect Nash in the backcourt to prevent the Heat from pressing the whole court.

The game started and the Heat attacked.

Wade suddenly hit a mid-range shot after Ginobili, 49:52, the Heat fell behind by 3 points, and the Suns attacked.

Ray Allen served from the baseline, Nash received the ball and advanced, and Ginobili responded nearby.

Bibby defended quite actively, but in fact he played half the game without a minute's rest. He was already very tired. In addition, he was not a strong defensive player, so the quality of his defense was average.

Nash got rid of Bibby and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

Pat Riley didn't see how tough Bibby's defensive actions were, and he knew that this kid didn't listen to him. Disappointed, he decided to trade this disobedient kid before he retired.

In fact, he is just a fan of the authorities, or maybe he is just taking a chance.

Because even if Bibby injured Nash, Li Ba would definitely find an opportunity to take action. Who would be injured more when the time comes is uncertain, and the Heat may not be able to take advantage.

At this time, Arab League did not enter the basket, but pulled to the right wing.

Bosh followed Pat Riley's defensive tactics and chose to defend the Arab League.

At this time, James let go of Ray Allen and, together with Gasol, double-teamed Li Ba under the basket in advance.

According to Pat Riley's thinking, Ginobili and Ray Allen only scored 6 points in the half, and there was no running. This is obviously a sign of physical failure, and it is completely okay to leave one open.

Moreover, Li Ba absolutely needs to be double-teamed.

After James left Ray Allen, the latter received the ball from Nash at the top of the arc on the left three-point line, took off and missed.

Li Ba competed with James and Gasol for rebounds, and with his positioning and bounce speed, he touched the ball first and directed the ball towards Ray Allen.

Ray Allen took the second shot and still missed.

"rebound!"

Pat Riley yelled from the sidelines.

But he was disappointed. Li Ba was brave and grabbed the rebound again.

"Vote again!"

At the critical moment, he had to use his shot to activate the perimeter. He did not make a second attack and passed the ball to Ray Allen.

This time Bibby came over to defend, and Ray Allen faked his feet, shook the former, and took the third shot.

"Uh-huh!"

The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.

"Beautiful! Although Ray Allen made 2 of 6 shots today, it's a good thing if he can hit the shot. The Suns can still score from outside." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Does James still dare to double-team the Hammers so boldly now?" Yu Jia said excitedly.

Pat Riley shook his head in disappointment. He united with so many people, hollowed out the Suns' championship lineup, and only hired Marc Gasol with the promise of a big contract. But now he knows that in front of Li Ba, , Marc Gasol is simply not enough to watch.

He has decided to retire next season, but yesterday the Heat got a piece of information from Nike. Howard's sneaker contract expired, and the Heat are working on the problem. If they can win Howard, then Nike will operate Howard's deal.

Of course, Nike didn't say Howard would definitely be traded to the Heat, because the Magic's wish was to be traded to the West.

But no matter what, this is an opportunity that can be fought for.

He had an idea to sign and then trade with Gasol, add Bosh as the core chip, two for one, and trade Warcraft.
