Chapter 369 We Must Control the Restricted Area

On the offensive end, Li Ba can rely on his strength, bullet speed, and wingspan to beat him hard at the basket, and he can drop ten times with one force, and it doesn't even have anything to do with his offensive skills at the basket.

On the defensive end, it's even worse.

In the last group match, Italy lost. In addition to the inaccuracy of the outside line, another important reason was that the two inside blue-collars could not control Li Ba, which led to the loss of control in the penalty area.

Think about it, no matter how accurate the three-pointer is, it is only 37% of the field goal percentage, and the remaining 60% of the shots are turned into rebounds, and the penalty area is out of control. Who took these rebounds?

Seeing Li Ba easily pinch Garanda, Italy's head coach Carlo, with a bitter face, pulled his few hairs on his head.

Dayao supported in a high position, facing up to another Italian insider, Marconato.

This blue-collar insider, 211 centimeters and 115 kilograms, is also very difficult to defend Dayao alone.

On the first ball, Italy did not double-team.

The ball still passed Dayao's hands first.

Li Ba stuck Garanda and asked for the ball.

Galanda wanted to go around, but Li Ba relied on his steps to move, and his absolute strength easily prevented him from turning over.

Dayao passed the ball, and Li Ba caught the ball with one hand, and instantly exploded.

"boom!"

One-arm heavy dunk, the basket trembled violently.

Li Ba just jumped a little more than one foot and dunked directly, and the bullet speed was top-notch. Galanda behind him wanted to foul, but he didn't have time to make a move.

Landing on the ground, Li Ba raised his chin, glanced at Garanda indifferently, and returned to defense directly without a word of disdain.

Looking at Li Ba, who was a little shorter than him, with such tyrannical strength and physique that overwhelmed everything, Galanda felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Seeing that dismissive look in his eyes, he felt deeply humiliated.

At this moment, he deeply realized that in the competitive world, strength is king.

"Tsk tsk tsk, really strong! The speed and power of the hammer are top-notch in the NBA. Duncan can't defend him at the basket, he can't hold it at all!"

Zhang Li said in admiration.

Italian attack.

All four insiders are crowded under the basket, but Li Ba and Dayao both occupy the best positions.

Seeing this scene, all the media by the court shook their heads.

"The generation of insiders in China can be called the platinum generation!" A reporter from the Italian sports newspaper sighed.

"The rules have to be reworked," said a British journalist for the BBC.

The Italian outside players used frequent running positions and offensive screens to run out of the open space, and defender Breli made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

First ball missed.

Li Ba took the lead to move two steps to the high post, and then grabbed the rebound at the free throw line.

After he passed the ball, the other three inside were still under the basket.

"He has begun to show Rodman's sense of rebounding, coupled with his talent of not looking at the ball, his rebounding ability will be even more terrifying!"

An American sports reporter shook his head and sighed.

The Chinese team attacked.

Dayao passed to Li Ba in the high position.

Marconato couldn't come down to double-team, because Dayao would never let go.

At this time, small forward Ligeti came from the wing to help defend.

But he was too far away from the basket. Before he entered the penalty area, Li Ba caught the ball and exploded.

"Snapped!"

thugs.

"boom!"

The rim trembled.

"Beep!"

The referee indicated that Garanda's thug fouled, and Li Ba added a free throw.

"With such a strong inside line, without the three-second rule of defense, the basket is almost unstoppable! With such a Chinese team, other men's basketball teams must have two superstar-level inside players to resist. And this Two superstar players must also have both offense and defense. This is too difficult, and only the NBA in the United States can make it together."

A French reporter sighed.

"Without restrictive rules, an insider like Hammer is cheating." A white American reporter said disdainfully.

"The NBA has restrictive rules, so what? Wouldn't the Hammer score 5*5 on Duncan's head in the playoffs, or a quadruple-double on O'Neal's head? What can the rules do?"

A young Chinese female reporter spoke unconvincedly.

"..."

The American reporter was too angry to speak, because the hard data made him speechless.

Li Ba made a free throw.

5:0, China leads.

Italy attacked, and defender Breli used the screen to hit a 3-pointer.

Looking back, Li Ba asked for the ball again under the basket.

This time, small forward Ligeti double-teamed directly and emptied Li Nan.

At this time, Dayao made a shot, carrying Marconato, turning around and stepping back to shoot a jumper.

"boom!"

Unfortunately not.

Before the ball hit the basket, Li Ba had already caught Garlanda. With his left hand, he pushed away the small forward Ligeti and took a step up.

"Come again."

Marconato was turning around to grab a rebound, Li Ba immediately threw it back to Dayao over the top.

Dayao catches the ball and hits a goal.

7:3, China leads by 4 points.

Italy attacked, on the right wing, Pozek made a two-pointer and missed.

Relying on better and better anticipation, Li Ba moved to the left elbow ahead of time and grabbed the rebound.

"Rebound, rebound, rebound..."

Italian coach Carlo's hoarse roar sounded.

China attacks.

Li Ba was under the basket and Dayao was in the high position. Italy had to take care of both high and low. Small forward Ligeti, who double-teamed, stayed in the middle of the penalty area.

Dayao catches the ball and wants to shoot.

Ligeti immediately pounced on Dayao.

But Dayao made a false pass and hoisted it to the basket.

Ligeti immediately turned around and rushed to the basket, but it was too late, and when he looked back, he saw that Li Ba had already stuck Garanda, and then violently.

"boom!"

Li Ba dunked again.

"This is the trouble in Italy now. Three players can't double-team two players. Small forward Ligeti's movement speed is not bad, but the Hammer's advantage at the basket is too great, and Garanda can't limit him at all." Yu Jia said.

"The super giant Duncan can't completely limit the hammer under the basket, otherwise he wouldn't commit five offenses, let alone a blue-collar insider? Garlanda is at most a substitute in the NBA, and he can beat the hammer. Qualified to fight."

Zhang Shili laughed.

"In the Olympics, without guys like O'Neal, Duncan, and Big Ben, the hammer is almost unsolvable under the basket." Yu Jia said excitedly.

"I can now be sure that before the next World Championships, FIBA ​​will formulate the rules for three-second defensive violations and reasonable collision zones. So the Hammer is really right. This Olympic Games is our best opportunity." Zhang reasonable way.

At the end of the first quarter, at 24:16, China led by 8 points.

The high and low offensive tactics of Dayao and the Hammers are very simple, but without two first-class or top insiders to match them, there is no solution.

In the second quarter, Li Ba and Dayao continued to play. In such a knockout match, especially when other players feel bad, they are already ready to play the whole game.

Small forward Zhu Fangyu is paired with Zhang Yunsong and Guo Shiqiang as guards.

Italy is Garlanda and Ziasig, the striker is Radulovic, and the defenders are Basile and Bradley.

"Heavy hand, we have to control the penalty area!" In front of the Italian bench, Carlo roared in a low voice before going on the field.

Italy attacked, and Bradley made a three-pointer with a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.

The Chinese team attacked.
