Chapter 222 The Spurs' Two Big Insiders

Seeing this, Frank looked back at Barbosa who was on the bench. He wanted to start the game.

Neither Barbosa nor Joe Johnson's defense is good, but his scoring ability is now up, and his speed is suitable for the Suns' fast break tactics.

At this point the Spurs called a short timeout, Parker came on, small forward Hitch went off, Bruce Bowen returned to the third position, Ginobili played shooting guard.

"Go to the basket, I don't care whether the game wins or loses, but I want to see that kid's offensive and defensive performance." Popovich only wanted the ball.

Frank also adjusted the lineup according to his ideas, and Barbosa replaced Joe Johnson.

The Spurs attacked, and Parker quickly advanced to the frontcourt, breaking into the paint from the right wing.

He is actually best at this kind of oblique insertion from right to left.

When Parker rushed to the basket, Li Ba was in a reasonable collision zone, but the former rushed past. When the latter adjusted his position sideways, he suddenly turned around like a top, and then jumped up to cast a high throw.

Li Ba jumped a bit, but his nervous reaction was still a beat off.

"Shua!"

The basketball goes into the hoop.

58:52, the Spurs lead by 6 points.

Popovich nodded. Parker's ability to break through and layup is still very strong. This offensive method is still effective. The rookie can't make effective defense.

Sun attack.

Li Ba asked for the ball from the low post, and started hitting Lasu forcefully, using his sideways and back hitting.

This kind of advance is faster than a pure back attack, especially for players who are not as strong as him, they can't stop it at all, and the defense will collapse immediately.

In a maximum of 1.5 seconds, with three consecutive quick exertions, he pushed Lasu into a reasonable collision zone and stood under the basket.

At this time, one second of the three-second offense (one second into the paint area), he still has two seconds, enough for him to complete the offense.

Behind, Duncan has come over.

When Duncan double-teamed, Li Ba forced a jump, held the ball in both hands, and smashed the basket.

Duncan and Rasu jumped up to block the shot at the same time.

The three of them were of similar weight and collided instantly.

"Snapped!"

The ball jumped, and Li Ba was blocked for the first time since entering the league.

"oh!!!!!!!!"

There was a huge exclamation in the Meixi Arena, and countless people got up from their seats.

"oh?!"

The sun commentator hugged his head instantly, with a look of surprise on his face.

The Spurs commentator had a smile on his face, and he was about to say something.

The whistle didn't sound and the game continued.

The general was killed in battle, and the edge of the earthen jar was broken. Although it was blocked, Li Ba was not surprised. The basketball was still locked on him. He jumped over his head. He immediately turned around and jumped up, grabbing the basketball .

Popovich, who was off the field, couldn't help shrinking his eyes when he saw this action.

He can be sure that the rookie has never observed the position of the basketball from the beginning to the end, but he turned around and took off so miraculously, and grabbed the ball.

In his opinion, with this kind of ability, if he can't grab ten rebounds in a game, it's just trash.

At this time, Duncan and Lasu were preparing to grab the basketball. As soon as they made a move, they faced Li Ba's second attack.

Grabbing the ball to the ground, Li Ba didn't stagnate at all. He took half a step back with his left foot, then turned around again, and once again smashed the basket facing Duncan and Lasu.

This time Duncan and Rasu were not as fully prepared as last time. They did not expect Li Ba to grab the ball so quickly, nor did they expect his second attack to come so quickly, which caused their take-off to be half-delayed shoot.

"Boom!"

Li Ba collided with the two again, but this time he was in a higher position, which gave him an advantage in the air confrontation. With his arms smashed, the basketball blasted towards the basket.

"boom!"

The arms were dunked again, and the Spurs' basket was blown up again.

Under the basket, Duncan and Rasu staggered back after landing, almost sitting down.

58:54, the Suns trailed by 4 points.

"Oh ho ho ho, the hammer dunked the superstar Tim Duncan, he dunked the Spurs' two insiders, and he completed a shocking dunk!"

The Sun commentator jumped up directly, and the roar rolled like thunder over the Meixi Arena.

The Spurs commentator, who was just about to say something about Li Ba's being blocked, was shocked, tongue-tied and unable to say anything.

"flute!"

The whistle sounded, and the referee signaled the thugs.

Duncan and Rasu landed on the ground, and at the same time they raised their right hands in shock, indicating that they had fouled.

The referee pointed to Duncan, and Duncan reacted faster and made the block first.

This is Duncan's second offense, but it doesn't matter if it's the second half.

Li Ba added a penalty and took aim for three seconds. Today, his hand was not smooth, and the ball still hit the basket.

Duncan grabbed the rebound, Parker and Ginobili wanted to play a fast break, but the Suns are now very strong against fast breaks, and the Spurs can only switch to positional warfare.

According to the coach's request, the Spurs always hit the basket, and Parker broke through the paint again, from right to left.

Li Ba defended the basket, and when Parker rushed in front of him, he suddenly made a pass back to Duncan, the low post on the right wing.

Li Ba stared at Duncan for an instant.

However, there was no pass, and Parker continued to break through a step to the left, and did not give a shot to Lasu who was behind the basket behind Li Ba.

And just when Parker stopped and turned around suddenly with the spinning top technique, Li Ba, who was staring at Duncan, started to turn sideways.

He kept his eyes on the basketball, turned his gaze to Duncan just to numb Parker, and when he "saw" the basketball rush past him and then stopped suddenly, he knew that Parker was doing that trick again and turning back to throw.

This is Parker's usual tactic. He just took one hit just now, so he should be extremely careful this time.

Parker jumped up, and the moment he raised his arms to strike, he found that the high energy in front of him was covered by Li Ba's huge body, and a giant palm swung towards his head and face.

"Snapped!"

The basketball that was just dropped was thrown upside down and flew into the auditorium.

"oh!!!!!!!"

The American West Arena was boiling again, and countless palms shook for the third time.

"Seal! A block full of Phoenix's infinite enthusiasm, the hammer gave it to dear Tony Parker! Tony, feel the heat of Phoenix?"

The roar of the sun commentator was extremely passionate.

Popovich frowned, just made a shot, and then was blocked. It seems that he still underestimated the rookie's defensive ability.

The Spurs attacked again, and their emotions did not seem to be affected.

11 seconds left.

Ginobili has the ball, drives past Barbosa on the left wing, and pulls up for a jumper with his feet barely off the ground as the ball is released.

"boom!"

But the open space after the breakthrough was missed, the basketball bounced and went back the same way.

Seeing the rebound of the basketball, Ginobili quickly jumped forward to catch it, but the next moment, Li Ba jumped in front of him, covering all the space in front of him.

Ginobili hastily took a step back with his right foot, and was about to leave with a dribble with his right hand, when Barbosa from behind pounced on him, forming a pincer attack.
