Chapter 133 Only 13 Rebounds?

The Nuggets' offense still focuses on the outside.

Miller and Anthony performed a pick-and-roll. After breaking into the left wing, they made a two-pointer and missed the basket. Li Ba took the rebound again.

After Marbury received the ball, he quickly went down, and Anthony, who switched defenses behind him, chased after him.

The Nuggets returned to defense very quickly this time, and Li Ba didn't dare to delay, and immediately played quickly after passing the ball.

Marbury slid a corner under the basket. Under the pressure of Anthony behind him, he didn't make a shot and went around to the top arc again.

At this time Li Ba ran in from beside him, and when he crossed the free throw line, he suddenly raised his right hand and shook it twice in a row.

Seeing this, Marbury immediately threw the basketball at Li Ba's head with one hand.

When Li Ba rushed in, his opponent center Elson was still behind, and Nene, who had just settled in the low position on the right wing, had to rush to the basket to defend Li Ba.

But when he suddenly saw Li Ba raised his hand, his whole body was shocked, and Li Ba's alley-oop without watching the ball rang in his mind.

"Defend the ball!"

At this moment, Nene forgot not to foul easily, only this idea.

He was originally a passionate player, very energetic on the court, and at this moment, his blood was boiling.

Li Ba sped up and jumped up, chasing the basketball he had been locking on with his right hand that just flew over his head.

At this time, Nene also jumped up.

Li Ba rushed to the basket head-on, while Nene rushed from the right wing and blocked Li Ba's lob dunk from the side.

Li Ba's right hand just caught up with the basketball, and when he pressed it to the basket, a black hand slapped him from the right.

"drink!"

He yelled violently, the waist and abdominal muscles contracted wildly, the right latissimus dorsi expanded wildly, the right triceps strongly expanded, and the right arm accelerated the downward chop with greater force.

"Snapped!"

Nene missed the basketball with his palm and hit Li Ba's right hand.

"boom!"

At this moment, Li Ba showed the top quality of absolute strength and blasted the Nuggets' basket.

"flute!"

The referee's whistle blew.

"Oh hoo, another no-look alley-oop! Kenny, come up with a good name for it, right? It deserves to have its own name. Like, Barry's urinal free throw." Barkley yelled After a sentence, he joked.

"Hey, Joan Barry, Charles is mocking your dad," Kenny Smith called to the Nuggets bench.

"Ha ha!"

Joan Barry smiled and waved to the live broadcast booth.

"Ba's empty catch?" Smith said back.

"His surname is Li, not Ba, you idiot!" Barkley laughed.

"Li's empty pick-up?"

"not so good."

"Then let's use Ba's air pick-up."

On the field, Li Ba started to make free throws.

The left and right wings are low, the Nuggets' Nene and Elson are facing the sun's Jack Voskull and Joe Johnson, very actively preparing to grab rebounds.

"Master wants to score this goal." Li Ba was a little annoyed when he saw this scene.

Today is the first time he has played so many offenses in the low post. The Nuggets' inside line has no strength to support him. He scored a lot of points, but it also exposed his weakness in free throws, which is a big problem.

"brush!"

Ha, really hit it, Li Ba laughed out loud.

"4 of 8 free throws, 50% of the shots, Hammer, congratulations, you will often get free throw opportunities in the future, just like O'Neal."

Barkley laughed wildly after he finished speaking.

In the next few minutes of the third quarter, Li Ba used this kind of alley-oop without watching the ball to hit twice.

This kind of attack has a strong concealment, and it is launched very suddenly.

The Nuggets' backup center wanted to foul, but couldn't find a chance before Li Ba made a shot, and it was too late after the shot.

However, today the Nuggets' outside touch is really good. Nearly 50% of their field goals are very scary. In addition, most of the rebounds are bouncing baskets. Li Ba didn't catch many rebounds. So at the end of the third quarter, the score 66:76, the Suns are still 10 points behind.

"Today, the Hammer made 7 of 12 shots, 4 of 8 free throws, and scored 18 points. This is also his highest score in the league. In the third quarter, he reduced his offense and made no turnovers, but he didn't score enough. He only scored 5 points. It doesn't help the team," Barkley explained.

"The two offensive mistakes in the first quarter were mainly because he relied on strength in the low post attack, without fake moves and pace movements. I recommend him to participate in the training camp of the big dream during the offseason. But his kind of eating cakes without watching the ball The lob was really good," Kenny Smith asked.

"He developed the incredible attacking method of Ba's lob, which allows him to directly have the face-to-face without his slow turn, no fake action, no step movement under the basket, and purely strength-based post-up. The ability to attack at the basket, which increases his offensive range and offensive speed. Also, this offense is very sudden and has a high success rate. Yes, his offensive ability in the paint area is indeed underestimated." Barkley analyzed.

"But I think there could be mistakes that way, who knows?" Kenny Smith said.

"Hey, Kenny, don't tell that rookie, let him make mistakes, I like to see him deflated." Barkley said with a smile.

"Generally speaking, the Hammer is in the paint area. He has the ball-handling offensive ability of playing back and facing the basket. He also has the offensive method of Ba's alley-oop. His offensive methods in the paint area have been enriched a lot. It's progressing very quickly," said Kenny Smith.

"He must also develop offensive skills such as small hooks, throws, and close-in shots. This is a traditional center's offensive weapon in the low post. These skills require footwork and coordination, so the hammer needs to continue to enhance his sensitivity. , to increase his movement speed," Barkley said.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides basically continued the lineup of the previous quarter.

The game progressed to the eighth minute.

"There is not much hope. Today the Nuggets feel hot from the outside, and the Suns only have two main offensive points, the Hammers and Marbury. The Suns cannot narrow the point difference." Barkley said.

"There are many outside shots, and most of the rebounds are shot baskets. The Hammers have only grabbed 13 rebounds so far. This is also an important reason why the Suns are behind." Kenny Smith said.

"Haha, there are only 13 rebounds, haha! Camby and Nene only grabbed 11 rebounds. How many do you want the Hammer to catch alone?" Barkley laughed after hearing this.

"Of course it's only, which is lower than his average of 14.2 rebounds per game." Kenny Smith "struggled with reason."

"Haha, Kenny, you're right, you're still 1.2 short." Barkley laughed.

"I have to say one thing. Today the Nuggets played inside and wanted to kill the hammer. Later, their inside line was blown up by the hammer, so they relied on the outside line. This shows that the dominance of the hammer inside the paint area has seriously affected the Nuggets. King's tactical use," said Kenny Smith.

"Are you using dominance to describe that rookie? Well, let's not talk about that. Speaking of the Nuggets, their tactics cannot last long, because no one can guarantee the touch on the outside. Of course, the Nuggets are lucky today. So far, they have taken 74 shots, 62 shots outside the paint area, and made 30 shots, including 8 three-pointers, and the shooting rate is as high as 48%. This is the reason why they can lead." Barkley said.

The score was 84:94, and the point difference was still 10 points.

In the 10th minute, the Sun called the last long timeout.
