Chapter 521: Suffocation Defense

"The Suns still have the same defensive intensity as they did on the court!" Barkley exclaimed excitedly.

Before the double-team was formed, Marbury's control over Terry was a little more focused, and he tended to cut off the passing route between Terry and the left wing, because according to the rotation of the Suns' zone defense, there would be an open space on the left wing Appeared, he wanted to block this passing route.

Marbury's defense is not as strong as Battier's, so there is a short passing line between Terry and the right wing.

At this time, Finley on the right-wing three-point line suddenly took a step out, dodged Marion who was defending up, and asked Terry for the ball.

Terry struggled to pass the ball to Finley.

As soon as he released the ball, Posey immediately looked back.

As soon as Finley received the ball, Marion was already in front of him, waving his hands, cutting off his forward passing line.

A second later, Posey got back on defense and the Suns double-teamed Finley.

The two double-teamed 10%, and Li Ba, who defended Nowitzki, rushed forward without any hesitation, forming a three-man double-team for Finley.

"What a suffocating defense!" Kenny Smith exclaimed.

"Where the ball is, there will be double-teaming. This is the essence of zone defense. But it is very difficult to do this. In the entire league, only a few teams such as the Suns, Spurs, and Pistons can do this. defense," Barkley said.

Facing the double-teaming of the league's three top defenders, Finley had no chance of survival. The ball was quickly lost and was snatched by Marion.

The sun is about to set, Marbury, Marion, and Posey, the three of them march forward together, and Li Ba follows behind.

Terry and Finley returned to defense, and the Suns formed a four-on-two frontcourt.

After Marion and Posey reached the paint area, they pulled left and right to get out of the way to the basket. At this time, Marbury, who arrived at the basket, threw the ball into the sky without looking back.

Terry and Finley looked back, then quickly dodged to the side.

"boom!"

Li Ba rushed past Finley, jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands, and smashed forward, smashing the ball into the basket.

At this moment, his body swayed high.

At this moment, the Mavericks' home court was extremely quiet.

4:0, the Suns lead.

"Defense!"

Landing on the ground, the imposing Li Ba raised his arms and roared.

The Mavericks attacked, and General Johnson called a timeout.

"When the backcourt advances, Finley and Josh should not be in a hurry to get in position. They should cover in the backcourt and don't let Marbury press Terry."

"Dirk, you have to run in the frontcourt. Don't stand in one position. Don't let Marion entangle you easily, so that their double-team will not have a chance to implement."

At the suggestion of two assistant coaches, Johnson made some tactical instructions.

"Western Finals! Western Conference Finals! Western Conference Finals..."

At this time, on the Sun's bench, when Li Ba raised his fist, the shouts of Sun's generals sounded again, with extremely high momentum.

"Hush!!!"

Mavericks fans booed again.

But it's a pity that no matter how loud their boos are, they can't suppress the high momentum of the Suns.

The timeout ends and the Mavericks attack.

Terry advanced with the ball, and Finley and Josh Howard escorted him two steps away.

But Battier and Posey immediately stood between them and Terry, cutting off his passing and receiving lines, and also prepared to double-team Jason Terry at any time.

"Too close, pull away, pull away!"

Little General Johnson hurriedly shouted, if he doesn't pull away, Terry may be double-teamed by three people at any time, and it would be self-defeating.

In this way, Terry advanced to the frontcourt safely, and Nowitzki pulled the ball to the right-wing three-point line.

"In this way, the Mavericks can indeed solve the possibility of Terry being double-teamed, but the Mavericks' offensive speed is too slow."

Kenny Smith said.

"The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The Mavericks must solve the disadvantage of Terry." Barkley said.

At this time, Marion defended in front of Nowitzki. Like Marbury defending Terry, he also defended against shots and passes but not bursts, and implemented a close defense.

Break through, and there is Li Ba inside who can make up for the leak, which is the thickest inside barrier for the Suns.

Of course, Nowitzki won't break through, rush in to seek death?

Moreover, he is not a breakthrough master, and his movement speed is much slower than Marion.

As soon as he turned around, he leaned against Marion, and the next moment, he would turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper.

But when he turned around and jumped up, there was already one more person in front of him.

The moment Nowitzki turned around, Li Ba rushed over.

Battier immediately threw Josh Howard when he saw it, and defended the basket.

When Li Ba and Marion took off to block the shot at the same time, the space in front of Nowitzki was completely blocked, so he could only make a forced shot.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba accurately grabbed the basketball he had just shot with one claw.

"Cap grab! The hammer gave Nowitzki a cap grab!" the Sun commentator roared loudly.

The sun was about to set, Marbury took the lead, and Terry was too slow. The former made a layup and gave Li Ba an assist.

6:0, the Suns lead.

"In order to cope with the suffocating defense of the Suns, the Mavericks played too passively, and their offensive tactics were not played out at all! If this continues, I am afraid there is no hope for a comeback." Yu Jia said.

"The G3 game is over, and it seems that the little general Johnson still hasn't found a way to break the Suns' defensive tactics. Even if the Mavericks can solve Terry's point, the hammer is very difficult to overcome." Zhang Lili said.

Mavericks attack.

This time Finley and Josh Howard still escorted Terry, three steps apart to prevent Terry from being double-teamed.

Terry solved the problem of being double-teamed, speeding through the center line, but still kept moving to avoid being double-teamed again.

He moves to the right wing from the top of the key, and Finley comes over for the pick-and-roll.

The moment the two staggered past, the ball was handed over to Finley, and Finley hit Marbury in a dislocation and shot a jumper directly from the three-point line.

"Shua!"

Three-point hit.

6:3, the Mavericks cheered loudly at home.

Sun attack.

Terry returned the color to Marbury and began to press in the backcourt.

However, his strength is still not as good as Marbury. The latter swayed, dribbled the ball behind his back, and directly rushed him.

"The Mavericks want to copy the Suns' defense. It's impossible. Their tactical execution ability is too far behind, and their personal strength is also much worse." Zhang Lili said.

At this time, Li Ba walked towards the basket, which immediately attracted the defensive attention of the Mavericks.

Marion took the opportunity to pull out from the low post, ran out of the open space, received a pass from Marbury, and jumped up very quickly.

"boom!"

Nowitzki's defense didn't keep up, but unfortunately the ball missed.

Li Ba pressed Dampier to grab the rebound, and with a violent back bump, knocked back the latter, then turned around violently, and with a bang, smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Beep!"

The referee came over and made a gesture. Dampier failed to take off in the reasonable collision zone to defend and blocked the foul. Li Ba added a free throw.
