Chapter 399 Quickly Return to Defense

Li Ba shook his head, but his nerve response was still too slow.

His bounce speed and bounce height can actually prevent this ball, but the reaction is a little slower.

"Chris, less singles."

Although the goal was scored, Adelman understood Webber's current strength and Li Ba's defensive strength, and he still urged him on the sidelines.

"..."

Weber shook his head helplessly, speechless.

Sun attack.

Li Ba ran to the basket, which gave the Kings a headache.

In addition to Li Ba, the other four starters of the Suns can also shoot from the outside. If they choose to double-team, there will also be open opportunities on the outside, but if they don’t double-team Li Ba, can Webb defend Li Ba alone?

"Teaming!"

Finally, Adelman made up his mind that putting an outside line is better than letting the inside line defend against the hammer alone.

As a result, substitute power forward Darius Sangueira immediately threw away Marion and went into the basket to double-team Li Ba.

In this way, Darius Sangueira entangled Li Ba closely, and Webb cut off his passing line in front.

At this time, Marion took two steps directly to the right-wing three-point line, received the ball and made an open shot.

"Shua!"

Hit a goal with two points from far.

4:13, the Suns lead.

Adelman shook his head, and the hammer hit the basket, which was unprecedented last season, and the defensive end gave him a headache.

"Look, this is to strengthen the role of the hammer on the offensive end. It can directly attract double-teams and create open space on the outside. If the Suns had this tactic last season, it's hard to say in the playoffs. In the regular season, their record will definitely be better. " Zhang reasonable touted.

The king attacks.

Webb gets the ball high again.

This time Li Ba adopted a close defense, which prevented Weber from using a straight-arm jumper.

The two long arms and huge strength also prevented Weber from bypassing Li Ba and making a three-step layup.

However, Peja passed the reverse run, got rid of the pass at a 45-degree position on the left wing, and hit a three-pointer with a jumper.

This is his second goal.

After the first quarter, at 17:29, the Suns led by 12 points.

The Kings were unable to deal with Li Ba well on both ends of the offense and defense, playing very passively.

On the defensive end, at the basket, they don't have an inside line that can defend Li Ba alone, so they can only choose to double-team, which makes the Suns' offensive efficiency very high.

On the offensive end, Weber was not efficient whether he played against Li Ba alone or responded to the pass. Li Ba blocked 1 shot, 4 steals and 5 turnovers in a single quarter.

Li Ba never leaves the paint, and he controls the rebounds very well.

In a single quarter, he made 3 of 3 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, scored 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 1 foul. His performance was extremely versatile and efficient.

For the Kings, Peja's efficiency was not very high. He made two hits in the front, but was blocked by Battier in the back and made 0 for 3 shots. He made 2 of 5 shots in the whole quarter, 0 for 1 free throw, and scored 5 points.

The second quarter came off the bench.

The Kings were half the main force and half the bench. Bibby, Brad Miller, and Peja all played for half a quarter, and Webber played for two minutes.

In the end, the Kings pulled back 6 points in the second quarter.

42:48, the Suns still led by 6 points at halftime.

"The Suns' bench lineup is really strong, and the Kings' main players took turns to play, but they only got back 6 points." Zhang Lili laughed.

Back at halftime, the third quarter began, and the Kings served from the bottom line.

Both sides returned to their starting lineups for the first quarter.

The Kings went back to Miller as a playmaker, with Webb pulling out and becoming a pitcher.

And Miller also started at a high position, facing Li Ba.

"Hey, Brad, how does it feel to beat O'Neal? Is it good?" Li Ba asked.

"It's so cool...ah!" Miller smiled smugly, but immediately exclaimed.

It turned out that when Miller was distracted, Li Ba suddenly jumped up, swung his right arm, and slapped the basketball Miller was holding high above his head.

"Snapped!"

The basketball escaped Miller's hands and jumped toward the top of the arc.

At the top of the arc, Doug Christie had just followed the tactical requirements and ran from the right wing to the top of the arc. At this time, he just caught the basketball and regained possession of the ball.

The king reorganized the offense and Miller got the ball again.

"Come on, idiot, take a shot on Mr. Hammer's head, don't you have a high jumper?" Li Ba challenged.

Miller, too, had a bad temper, with smoke coming from his nostrils.

He doesn't have Webber's ability on the offensive end, but he does have a mid-range shot at the high basket.

"Brad, don't mess around!"

At this time, Adelman shouted on the sidelines.

Miller had no choice but to put out the idea of ​​hitting one in his heart, because before going on the court, Adelman had already told him not to hit the hammer easily, and mainly focused on support.

At this time, Peja, who had just sunk to the left bottom corner, suddenly raised it from the left bottom corner and reached out for the ball.

Battier started immediately and caught up.

But at this moment, Peja ran back and ran to the left bottom corner again.

Battier slammed on the brakes, but was already half a step away.

At this time, Miller passed the ball.

"Snapped!"

Peja catches the ball and takes off.

At this time Battier rushed back, jumped as hard as he could, and blocked the block with his left arm.

He didn't know if he touched the ball, anyway, the ball flew to the basket.

Li Ba immediately turned around and blocked Miller, and then rushed to the right side of the basket.

"boom!"

At this time, the basketball hit the basket, bounced to the low post on the right wing, and was caught by Li Ba.

Sun attack.

Marbury went down quickly, Bibby interfered frantically, the fast break failed, and he turned into a positional battle.

When Li Ba ran to the basket, the double-team came early, but he still raised his hand with his back to Marbury, indicating that the ball was going to be played.

"It's right to play hard. It is necessary to kill Miller again, so as to continue to suppress the Kings' defense and open up their own outside space." Zhang Lili said.

Seeing Li Ba raising his hand for the ball, Marbury didn't even think about it, and directly lobbed the ball to the basket.

Li Ba ran to the basket, turned sideways, swung his left arm around, and stuck Webb behind him first. When the ball arrived, he held Webb behind him with his left hand, and then took off at the same time as Miller.

Weber pinched Li Ba's arm, but he couldn't stop him from getting up, but it still had some influence on his jumping speed and height.

Li Ba didn't jump up completely, and the speed of the ball was also affected, but Miller's own athletic quality was average. He was still at the same level as his head, and with his super long arms, he caught the ball with one palm.

The moment the body fell, he held the ball with his right arm, pressed Miller's left hand with his wrist, and smashed the basket.

"boom!"

One-arm dunks, the basket trembled.

"Beep!"

Miller fouled the thug and added a free throw.

"Yeah, the hammer slammed into the basket and sent another two-plus-one dunk. Congratulations to Miller for the third foul..." The Suns commentator continued to roar.

Li Ba made an extra penalty and the Kings attacked.

Miller quickly served the ball, Bibby caught the ball, saw Peja galloping at high speed on the left wing, and had already passed the center line. Battier, who was defending, dropped a meter and immediately threw a long pass.

"Get back on defense!"

Suns defensive coach Adams yelled from the sidelines.
