Chapter 385 Li Ba's Tactical Role on the Offensive End

The Eagles' starters are Jason Koller, Boris Dior, Al Harrington, Antoine Walker, Kenny Anderson.

Wu Sheng, who had some grievances with Li Ba, has been traded, and the team boss Rahim has also been traded to the Trail Blazers. The Eagles are in the process of rebuilding.

Fat Toutuo Antoine Walker was traded from the Mavericks. The former Celtics' twin stars are still superstar-level stars.

But his style of play and position are getting more and more outside, which is probably why he was traded back and forth.

Al Harrington was traded from the player supermarket Pacers. Last season, he averaged 13+6 per game in 31 minutes. He is a strong forward who can play from the fifth position to the third position.

Kenny Anderson was the No. 2 pick in 1991. His assist ability and scoring ability are very good. He is now a 35-year-old veteran.

Jason Kohler, a fringe center, the No. 15 pick in the first round of 2000, is average in strength. In the future, this is also his last season in the NBA. The rebuilt Eagles have not yet found a reliable insider.

Boris Dior, forward, 203 cm, in the same year as Li Ba, No. 21 in the first round, played 4.5+4.5+2.4 in his rookie season, has the potential of an inside rotation player, and has a good assist ability.

Seeing this list, Zhang Lili complained: "Who is the shooting guard for the Eagles?"

"I think it's Fat Toutuo." Yu Jia laughed.

"That's okay, he can play in all five positions, and now he's really playing like a shooting guard." Zhang Lili laughed.

At the start of the game, Li Ba won the jump ball and the Suns attacked.

On the first ball, Marbury advanced to the top of the arc and waited for Li Ba to settle down.

According to the offensive tactics of the Suns this season, positional warfare, under normal circumstances, must wait for Li Ba to be in position before launching an attack.

This is after Li Ba demonstrated his strong ability to attract double-teams at the basket, the Suns coaching staff formulated this tactic.

Li Ba began to set down low to the left wing, and Jason Koller, who was relatively slow, followed closely behind him.

But when running at the waist, Li Ba then changed direction and accelerated, cutting directly to the basket.

This is also a new tactical requirement. First of all, his position is not on the low wings, but directly to the basket.

If you have a chance at the basket, hit it directly. No, go to the lower wings to get a position.

The reason for going to the basket first is because Li Ba has strength and can directly ask for a position under the basket. No matter whether he can receive the ball within three seconds or not, as long as he goes to the basket, few inside players of the team can Just guard against him.

Once double-teamed, from the very beginning, the Suns will have open opportunities outside.

From the perspective of offensive tactics, this tactic has been extremely aggressive from the very beginning, and if it is played at the same time, the rhythm is also very fast, which is very entertaining.

This is the difference between the Suns' offensive tactics this season and last season. On the offensive end, Li Ba's tactical role has been strengthened.

Of course, Li Ba's basic work is still on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, he is more of a diversionary role to attract double-teams, and the Suns do not lack his scoring.

Now, when Li Ba suddenly cuts to the basket, the rest of the Suns are also pulling away, including Marion.

Through the widening of the outside line, the Eagles' defensive players can leave the paint area, making it more difficult for the double-teaming Li Ba to return to defense, and it also allows the Suns to have more open opportunities.

In the paint area of ​​the Eagles, Li Ba's sudden cut to the basket immediately attracted the Eagles' defense. In addition to Jason Koller following a step behind, Al Harrington also defended from the left wing.

"Oh, the paint is opening up, it's empty inside, and James Posey is empty on the perimeter," Yu Jia yelled.

For this shot, when Li Ba suddenly changed direction and accelerated to cut to the basket, the result was doomed.

Jason Koller took a step behind, but he didn't keep up with the pace. The others were pulled away, there was no help defense, and there was no one under the basket. Li Ba took one step closer and took off directly.

"Snapped!"

Marbury's pass arrived, was caught by the vacated Li Ba with both hands, and then hit the basket directly.

"boom!"

The arms were dunked heavily, the basket was violently exploded, the basket was steep, and the basket trembled violently.

"ah!!!!!"

In the new season, the super heavy dunk from the team leader reappeared in the American West Arena, and the long-lost cheers sounded.

"Oh, Ba's lob, a super heavy dunk from the Hammer! After a few months, we can finally enjoy such an incredible lob and a blood-thrilling super heavy dunk again!"

The roar of the Suns' on-site commentator sounded.

The Eagles attack, the first star Antoine Walker takes the ball on the right wing, under Joe Johnson's strict defense, the long shot misses, Li Ba predicts, moves ahead of schedule, grabs the rebound on the head of Al Harrington .

Harrington tried to steal, the thugs fouled, and the Suns served from the backcourt sideline.

"The foul is still worth it, otherwise it's a fast break, and Marbury has already turned around." Yu Jia laughed.

The Suns attack.

"Jason, watch him with all your might!"

Pointing to Li Ba under the basket, Eagles coach Mike Woodson shouted at center Koller.

Marbury advanced to the top of the arc, and the inside line was already in place. He saw that the Eagles still took a single defense against Li Ba, while Marion withdrew to the right wing. The Eagles had only Jason Koller under the basket, and no help defense.

"Is this looking down on the hammer?"

He complained in his heart, then took a step back and threw the ball to the basket.

"Boom!"

Li Ba blocked Jason Koller with his strength, and when he saw the ball coming, he sat back directly, then took off with his left side, pressed Koller with his left hand to prevent him from jumping, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and smashed violently.

"boom!"

The basket trembled.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, Koller did not take off to defend in the reasonable collision zone, and Li Ba added a free throw.

"Hey, is Coach Mike Woodson in Canada? He's actually fantasizing about relying on a fringe center to defend against the Hammers alone."

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley smiled strangely.

"I'll be honest, at the basket, within the distance that can directly attack the basket, the threat of the hammer is already close to the level of a top offensive center. According to the rule that the reasonable collision zone is beneficial to the offensive side, in this place, the top defensive center It is also impossible to defend against the hammer alone."

Kenny Smith laughed.

"Top-level absolute strength, top-level bombing speed, superman's wingspan, and talent without looking at the ball. This is the absolute advantage of the hammer at the basket. So no matter both ends of offense and defense, as long as the hammer is at the basket, no matter you want to grab Rebound, or prevent him from scoring, you have to arrange at least two people to deal with him." Barkley said.

"boom!"

Li Ba punished him and smashed the basket.

0:5, the Suns lead by 5 points.

Eagles attack.

Al Harrington asked for the ball in the low post on the right wing and Marbury defended behind.

As soon as Kenny Anderson passed the ball, James Posey on the right wing immediately lost Boris Dior, jumped down, and double-teamed Harrington.

As soon as Harrington got the ball, he was immediately double-teamed by the Suns' two defensive champions.

Two seconds later, with Harrington screaming, the ball changed hands and Posey snatched the basketball from his opponent.
