Chapter 1292 Iron Hammer, Do You Have the Nerve to Call Yourself the Strongest Defender?

Li Ba quickly went down with the ball again and began to attack the US team's basket crazily.

Love was left behind again. He was fast in the paint, but he couldn't keep up with Li Ba.

James surrounded the penalty area from the left wing, and Li Ba entered the penalty area with the ball from the right wing. The two flew up on both sides of the basket almost at the same time.

At this moment, years of fly-catching training allowed James to focus as never before. He stared at the ball held high by Li Ba in his right hand. The moment it passed by Li Ba, and the moment it flew under the basket, His right hand whipped out quickly.

But just before James hit the ball, Li Ba's right arm suddenly accelerated and struck down, then pressed the former's right hand with his strong wrist and smashed the ball toward the basket.

"boom!"

Li Ba flew past the basket and smashed the US team's basket at the same time.

"Why can't you cover him? Was your shot too slow? It must have been too slow, otherwise the hammer would not have had time to accelerate when it hit the basket."

James, whose cap was empty, was very reluctant.

"yeah!"

The whole audience cheered again.

At this time, the whistle sounded, and the referee ran over and pointed at James. The thug fouled, and Li Ba added a free throw.

Yu Jia was excited and suddenly shouted: "Did James commit a lot of fouls today?"

Zhang Lili hurriedly looked for the data and shouted after a few seconds: "Oh, he really has a lot, four times?"

In the final quarter, the Chinese team launched a ten-to-two attack wave, 78:76, leading by 2 points.

Coach K could only call the last timeout, and there were still 6 minutes left in the game.

Barkley said: "Obviously, the Chinese team has seized on the weakness of the crowd tactics, that is, when the ball holder is double-teamed by many people, the person we withdraw is too close to the penalty area, which gives the Hammers a chance to assist. opportunity to defend.”

Kenny Smith said: "Yes, it was like this a few times just now. After Kobe and the others withdrew, they had no chance to get to the three-point line and take another shot. This gave the Hammers a chance. So any tactic has weaknesses. This requires It depends on how the head coach responds to the situation. However, it seems that Coach K called the timeout too late.”

Jordan said: "If they had a Kobe or Durant-level perimeter, there would be no suspense in this game."

In front of the U.S. team's bench, Coach K has decided to abandon the crowd tactic.

After the timeout, the game continued and Li Ba made a free throw.

At the critical moment, Li Ba made an extra free throw, 79:76, and he helped the Chinese team lead by 3 points.

Team USA attacks.

Durant was active on the left three-point line, Kobe was on the right, Love and Chandler were under the basket, and Paul advanced with the ball.

After seeing this, Zhang Liji said: "The US team replaced James. This is sacrificing perimeter offense and protecting rebounds."

Durant caught the ball and hit a three-pointer to tie the game.

The Chinese team attacks.

"Lao Zhu, Lao Wang, if you are left open, set up a pick-and-roll for me." Li Ba explained, and the two nodded quickly.

Let's use Chen Jianghua's speed to let him pass the ball up front.

The others pulled away, and Li Ba was under the basket.

On the defensive end, the US team only asked Durant to follow the Arab League, Paul to follow Chen Jianghua, and Kobe, Love, and Chandler to shrink in the penalty area.

Chandler was under the basket, Love was on the left, and Kobe was on the right, cutting off Li Ba's receiving route and preventing him from participating in the Chinese team's offense.

In this way, both Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng were shorted.

"Give me."

At the critical moment, Li Ba chose to believe in himself, stretched out his hand to Chen Jianghua, and rushed to the free throw line.

Chen Jianghua passed the ball, Li Ba received the ball in the high post, and Kobe and Love double-teamed.

But at this time, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu provided offensive cover to block Kobe and Love.

Li Ba turned around, Wang Shipeng broke through behind him, and took the ball to Chandler at the basket.

Holding the ball high in his right hand, Li Ba accelerated with one step, then accelerated with two steps, and then jumped into the air.

Feeling the powerful impact from Li Ba, Chandler was frightened and stepped aside.

"boom!"

A dunk that made the whole audience cheers helped the Chinese team take the lead again.

Kobe glared at Chandler. This guy actually completely lost his defense? Do you still have the nerve to be the hammer’s little brother?

"Hammer, how do you teach your little brother? Chandler and Love are both poor defenders, but you still have the nerve to be called the strongest defender?"

In anger, Kobe sprayed Li Ba.

Li Ba was confused, Shen Jingbing, what the hell does this have to do with me?

The game continues on offense.

The US team's outside offense is still extremely sharp, but Li Ba's inside offense is still extremely powerful.

With the help of pick-and-rolls, Li Ba frequently hit the U.S. team's rebounds, so much so that Chandler and Love didn't even dare to have a physical confrontation with him.

In the eighth minute of the last quarter, with 105 seconds left in the game, 88:86, with Li Ba leading the attack, the Chinese team still led by 2 points.

There was no timeout for either side, and the U.S. team attacked.

Li Ba was on the free throw line, watching Paul advance, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: "You can't guard them in the frontcourt anyway, why not press full court? Interrupt their rhythm and catch them off guard?"

He is an absolute action person and immediately shouted to his teammates: "Everyone, run, press the whole court!"

Ah Lian reacted quickly and immediately got involved with Love.

The others were a little slow to react and were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.

But Kobe and the others couldn't understand Mandarin, so it still had an effect.

Chen Jianghua was fast, and although his defense was not very good, he still harassed Paul.

"Give me the ball."

Kobe reacted the fastest, and immediately shook off Wang Shipeng's entanglement, rushed across the center line, and asked Paul for the ball.

Li Ba stared at Kobe and quietly moved two steps in Kobe's direction.

Of course, he didn't dare to speed up, because he had to prevent Paul from passing the ball directly to Chandler under the basket.

At this time, Paul pushed the ball to Kobe.

At this moment, even before the ball left Paul's hand, Li Ba accelerated and pounced on Kobe.

A total distance of about six meters, as Kobe ran forward, this distance was still shortening.

When Kobe received the ball and looked back, he saw that Li Ba was only one step away from him, within reach.

"Snap!"

Li Ba picked up the ball that Kobe had just received with his left hand, and then turned around and blocked Kobe behind him. At this time, the ball fell, and he jumped up to grab the ball.

The moment he landed, he turned around and rushed to Kobe, holding the ball and rushing into the frontcourt.

"Beautiful! This defense is so beautiful!" Jordan shook his head and praised.

"Bang!"

Li Ba flew and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Thanks to his first step, it gave him the highest initial velocity, allowing him to rush up instantly, which is very beneficial for his sprint."

Barkley smiled.

"Yes."

Jordan nodded.

The US team attacked again.
