Chapter 200 See You Tonight
Back in the fourth quarter, Iverson finally sat down and didn't come up. The 76ers' offense was completely taken over by the small forward Big Dog.
This guy is really strong, and he is good at all three-point shots. When he came up, he first made a three-pointer on the left wing, and then made a long two-pointer and a mid-point two-pointer. He made three of three shots. I became more courageous, and the shooting distance became shorter and shorter.
In the 7th minute of the fourth quarter, the Big Dog made 4 of 6 shots in this quarter and scored 10 points. The score was 86:95, and he was still 9 points behind.
The Suns' shooting percentage began to decline in this quarter. With three more shots, they scored two points less.
But the American West Arena is still very stable, because the Hammers still firmly control the paint area and rebounds, which is the basic guarantee for winning.
The Big Dog attacked again with the ball and entered the paint from the left wing.
James Posey defended and retreated, retreating to the edge of the paint.
Dagou, who had already scored 20 points, was very excited. With a shake, he directly broke through James Posey and entered the long-lost paint area.
Li Ba had already reached the reasonable collision zone, and he ticked his fingers at the big dog, signaling him to come up.
The big dog's face twitched, and he rushed straight up.
Li Ba thought that the big dog would directly attack the basket, and he was about to block the shot, but he didn't expect the latter to rush in front of him, turn around directly, and hit him behind the basket.
"Fuck!"
Yu Jia's eyes widened in an instant, and he swears directly in front of the vast number of domestic fans.
Do you have a brain, Big Dog? The small forward plays the center behind the basket, and is now recognized as the top defensive center in the league, and is a powerful defensive center. How confident do you have it? Still thought you were that little Emperor LeBron James? You go ask the little emperor, do you dare to hit the hammer on your back under the basket?
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Reasonable's response was to laugh twice.
Li Ba's only reaction was to block the big dog's shooting space with his arms raised high, and then he straightened his chest and began to push the big dog outward.
Big Dog is 201 cm and 102 kg. He is neither a center forward nor a power forward. Small forwards require agility and explosive power rather than the absolute strength of inside players. Therefore, under the push of Li Ba, there is no competition at all. Power.
"Dayao can't even stand up, big dog can you stand? If you can stand, you can carry O'Neill alive." Seeing the big dog being pushed forcefully by Li Ba, Yu Jia complained.
"flute!"
The whistle sounded, and the referee signaled the dog to move.
The big dog threw the ball and left with a dark face.
"Hahaha..." There was a huge laugh at the scene.
Iverson shook his head on the bench, the big dog is still too impulsive.
He looked at Li Ba, what if the 76ers had this one?
Next, the Big Dog made three consecutive outside shots, but his touch fell, and he missed all three shots. On the fourth attack, he tried again to get close to the paint.
This time he called for the pick-and-roll, borrowed the wall from power forward Kenny Thomas, and broke into the paint from the left wing.
At this time, Li Ba had already entered the paint and was close to the basket.
The big dog made a move to pass the ball to Coleman, and Li Ba immediately looked back.
"good chance!"
Seeing Li Ba turn his head back, Dagou instantly felt as if he had been injected with hormones, and his excitement soared tenfold.
"Fuck 'no one is allowed to fly over our heads'!"
He subconsciously speeded up, took off with one step, and raised his right arm high. In the next moment, he would use a dunk to shut up all the Suns fans who laughed at him just now, and let the hateful hammer kneel at his feet.
Can the big dog's fake action fool Li Ba?
Li Ba's observation of basketball has always been based on locking skills. Of course, the big dog can't fool him. When he looks back, he just digs a hole for the big dog.
As soon as he turned around, Li Ba turned around again in an instant, and saw the big dog rushing towards the basket with the ball. He immediately took the first step forward, jumped up with all his strength, and sealed the locked basketball with his right palm.
Covering is a skill.
For a talented All-Star like the Big Dog, they have enough time in the air. If the block position is too far from the basket, it will allow them enough time and space to avoid the block.
Guys like Iverson, Kobe, and McGrady often do this. Li Ba hates the movements of pulling the pole and turning in the air.
But no matter how long they can stay in the air, the ultimate goal is to get the ball into the basket, so the best way to block shots is to let them continue dunking, and then block them when they are close to the basket.
Li Ba was like this. When the big dog was about to hit the basket and couldn't change his movements, he slapped the basketball with his palm and instantly sent it flying.
"Aw!!!!!!!!!"
With four All-Star big dogs in one night, the American West Arena fell into a carnival.
"Why? Isn't it back to defend Coleman?"
The big dog fell to the floor, and he was still dazed, unable to figure out why Li Ba could block him.
This block, also completely sealed the 76ers.
At the end of the game, 90:105, the Suns beat the 76ers by 15 points and won their 18th victory.
Li Ba came off the field in the 10th minute of the fourth quarter, grabbed 4 rebounds in a single quarter, played 30 minutes, and scored 4 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 6 blocks.
"Mr. Zhang, the Hammer's rebounding ability is getting stronger and stronger now!" Yu Jia said.
"Strong is definitely stronger, but the number of rebounds depends on the opportunity. The shooting rate is low, and there must be more rebounds. You see, when Iverson played earlier, he had more rebounds. Why? Because he made a breakthrough. The shots were missed, and the rebounds were all under the basket, most of which were taken away by the Hammers. Iverson didn't play later, most of them were outside shots, and the Hammers seemed to have fewer rebounds." Zhang Lili said.
"Recently, the steals seem to be a little less. By the way, I counted, ouch, it is still the first, and the second is Baron Davis, averaging 2.3 times per game, and the Hammer is 2.6 times."
Yu Jiadao.
"No rush, no rush, the race schedule is not halfway through yet." Zhang Li said cheerfully.
After the game, at the press conference, Iverson announced one thing. He will take a break for a period of time (in the real season, Iverson has 34 games this season), which means that the 76ers have given up this season. up.
After the press conference, the Suns rushed directly to the airport because they have a back-to-back game tomorrow.
And starting from the next game, they have a total of five consecutive away games.
At three o'clock in the morning on December 29th, Li Ba and his party arrived in Los Angeles. Their opponent tonight was the Clippers.
They lost to the Clippers away in the last game. This is their second away game against the Clippers.
He went to bed at four o'clock, and Li Ba didn't get up until noon.
First thing, call.
"Hey, Sika."
"Ba, have you arrived in Los Angeles?"
"Yes, see you tonight then."
After putting down the phone, Li Ba couldn't help laughing triumphantly again when he saw Marbury's envious and jealous look on the opposite bed.
"Steve, I have to book the presidential suite." After laughing, he said.
"Damn it, there are so many beautiful female stars in Hollywood, you will die on their belly sooner or later." Marbury scolded with a smile.
"That's impossible. Except for Alba, I haven't dated any other women this month. In fact, I may be more restrained than the players in League 99. In Phoenix, I have training every night." Li Ba said.
"That kind of fly-swatting you mentioned?" Marbury asked curiously.
"Of course, you can try it if you are interested. You are a point guard, so it might help your stealing ability." Li Ba said.
"No, I just want to score and assist, and that kind of training method is too disgusting." Marbury shook his head again and again.
