Chapter 224 Whoever Blocked Us Once, Double the Reward
"boom!"
When Duncan fell forward, the Spurs rim was blown.
"Flute!" The whistle sounded.
"Oh, my God!" The Spurs commentator rubbed his forehead.
"Aww!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He directly dunked and knocked Duncan over, and the atmosphere in the American West Arena was completely blown up.
"boom!"
Li Ba landed, gave Duncan a stern look at Duncan who was getting up from the ground, and then walked to the free throw line.
Glancing at the ferocious Li Ba, Parker and Ginobili swallowed at the same time.
A tinge of trepidation flashed in the eyes of Bruce Bowen, who didn't come in from the outside line.
Because of the threat before the opening, his defense was significantly weakened by a notch today, especially when assisting Marbury, his hands and feet were very clean.
"Hammer, great job!"
Marion, who had just been blocked, rushed up excitedly and shouted.
"Sean, remember, whoever blocks us once, we will pay back twice! Whoever breaks one of our legs, we will break his two."
Li Ba said sharply.
These words, combined with the dunk just now, made the Spurs players next to him feel a strong sense of ferocity, and they all looked away from Li Ba.
"Ooooh, super heavy dunk, it came from the hammer, he was like a B2 heavy strategic bomber, he blew up the Spurs, it made the Spurs paint a mess."
The roar of the Suns commentator was trembling, showing his excited and surging mood.
"Shua!"
This time the hand felt good, and Li Ba actually made a hollow free throw.
64:64, the two teams tied again.
The Spurs attacked, and Duncan asked for the ball in the low post on the right wing.
Parker didn't hesitate. The boss was humiliated. In the Spurs, the ball doesn't have to be returned, because the Spurs are a whole, but Duncan wants the ball, and he will definitely give it. This is the tactical requirement of the Spurs.
Duncan hit Marion with his back in the low post, and Li Ba had to help defend. Marion couldn't hold Duncan.
But when he passed by, Duncan had backed Marion, then turned around immediately, pushed Marion at the same time, took a step into the paint area and took off with the momentum, sent the ball to the board before Li Bafang came up, and the basketball went into the basket .
Deng Daidai's attack is so simple and effective.
Compared with Li Ba and O'Neal's low-post strong play that consumes a lot of energy, Duncan's low-post strong play does not consume much energy. up to 70%.
Li Ba had a thought, why didn't he learn the trick of playing the board?
If he knows this move, with his strength and wingspan, who can prevent him from hitting the board?
But this trick is just too unappreciative and doesn't suit his personality.
Sun attack.
Marion pulled to the three-point line and made a three-pointer, which can be regarded as a breath of depression.
66:67, the Suns lead by 1 point.
The Spurs attacked and still played Duncan.
The Spurs' style of play, the ball that anyone doesn't want to play, or the ball that is difficult to handle, will be handed over to Duncan and let him solve everything.
This time Li Ba went to the basket to defend early, and started to move when Duncan had just hit Marion with his back.
Even, he stood on the right side of the basket, which means that he completely emptied the Spurs center Rasu.
As soon as Duncan turned around, he faced Li Ba.
Jump up and throw!
Li Ba had been staring at Duncan closely all the time, and didn't even look at the basketball he threw, because this throw was impossible to block with Duncan's shot height and his not-so-excellent take-off height.
Sometimes, some people's offense is so powerless, just like Kobe's three-pointer, you can only watch him shoot and watch him score.
So, he immediately turned around, ready to jam Duncan for a rebound.
In this position, Duncan hits 70% of the boards, but half of the throws are not bad.
But as soon as he turned around, he glanced at the basket and realized that the ball was wrong. This was not a shot, but a pass.
Opposite him, outside the reasonable collision zone, Rasu was about to take off and catch the ball for a dunk.
In an instant, Li Ba's whole body was shaken to zero, his feet were fully activated, and he started the first step in the front, rushed forward quickly, and jumped up directly.
Duncan, who was behind, jumped up to pass the ball and landed. Seeing Li Ba rushing forward, he took advantage of the situation and pulled it, but missed.
As soon as Rasu received the ball, he was about to hit the basket when he realized that it was blocked. A big yellow hand stretched out from below and patted it.
"boom!"
Next, the basketball jumped up and flew to the low post on the right wing, and his palms were dunked on the rim.
The right wing is low. Marion was about to jump up to grab the ball, but found that he couldn't move. He was stuck by Duncan and could only watch the latter jump up and grab the ball.
This is the difference between the two grabbing rebounds, Marion relies on mobility and wingspan, and Duncan relies on blocking.
Both methods have their own advantages. Duncan has an advantage inside the paint area, and Marion has an advantage outside the paint area and moves faster.
Just as Duncan grabbed the ball, Li Ba had already thrown himself in front of him, catching the ball with both hands.
"mine!"
This was a contest of absolute strength. Li Ba won. Before the referee blew his whistle, he shouted loudly and snatched the ball from Duncan with brute force.
Duncan finally couldn't hold back his paralyzed face. He glared at Li Ba, who was passing the ball, with a depressed expression on his face. Are you a bandit?
"Ha ha……"
The audience burst into laughter.
Marbury quickly went down again, and Barbosa went head-to-head.
Parker and Ginobili are both on the outside this time. Although the reaction is not as fast as the Maba two, they are only half a beat slower and are catching up quickly.
The four guards chased each other, Marbury and Barbosa were still slightly faster in absolute speed, and they started first, and finally Marbury assisted Barbosa for a layup.
66:69, the Suns lead by 3 points.
The Spurs attacked, and Duncan made a low position on the right wing.
Marion circles forward to defend, and Duncan reaches for the ball as he moves toward the paint.
Parker made the pass, and the basketball went toward the paint.
At the moment when Parker made the pass, and before the basketball left his hand, Li Ba suddenly pushed away Rasu and rushed over, stealing the pass before Duncan.
Watching the sun go down again, Popovich shouted loudly at Parker, "Tony, are you out of your mind?"
"boom!"
After receiving a pass from Marbury, Barbosa missed a fast break layup. Ginobili picked up the ball behind him, turned around and sent a long pass to Bruce Bowen.
"Shua!"
Bowen ran two steps back to the left-wing three-point line. Before James Posey came back, he raised his knife and scored a three-pointer.
69:69, the two teams tied.
"well!!!!!!!"
The fast break failed and he was slashed. This situation is the most morale-damaging, and there was a burst of lamentation in the American West Arena.
"Steve?"
Li Ba caught the ball under the basket, immediately dodged to the bottom line, shouted, and threw a long pass directly to Marbury who was still in the frontcourt.
Marbury took the ball and turned around to take a step forward, and took off facing Ginobili at the top arc. With a bang, the water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
69:72, the Suns still surpassed by three points.
"yeah!!!!!!!"
The Meixi Arena, which had just been hit, burst into flames instantly, restoring morale.
"Oh, oh, a beautiful three-pointer, the hammer assists +1, and the winner scores +3." The Suns on-site commentator began his roar.
Frank nodded again and again, he couldn't be more satisfied with Li Ba's performance.
Now the sun, fast break awareness has been integrated into the bone. The foundation of the fast break is the defense of the hammer.
Popovich shook his head. The situation was not what he expected. He originally wanted to force out Li Ba's strength, especially on the offensive end, but now, Li Ba has stabilized the situation only by relying on his defensive performance.
Of course, this is not the full play of the Spurs. Parker and Ginobili basically have no offense behind them, so it is time to do it.
In the first minute of the third quarter, the sun must have been caught off guard. He waved his hand and headed towards the field.
