Chapter 525 Can't Help It

Marion didn't go to the low post, but ran directly on the right wing, took Duncan away, and let Li Ba single-handedly hit Nazl under the basket.

Li Ba easily carried Nazr to the basket, and the latter started to defend around the front, trying to cut off the passing line.

But when Li Ba stretched out his left arm and slapped him aside brutally, Nazr couldn't stand up anymore and was pushed aside.

At this time, Marbury passed the ball in.

Li Ba jumped up, grabbed the ball back with his right hand, grabbed the ball firmly, and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.

0:2, the sun opened the scoring first.

"Yeah! Beautiful! The Iron Horse team sent an alley-oop dunk at the beginning..." the Suns commentator roared.

"Although Rasu can't defend against the hammer, at least he can limit it. After all, he has a tonnage of 112 kilograms, but Nazr really can't defend." Zhang Lili said.

"With the Spurs lineup, even if they help defend, only Duncan can do it himself, and no one else can. Bowen and Ginobili need to help defend the Hammers. The tonnage and strength are too small. It is really a desperate thing to do." Jia said.

"Yes, don't look at Ginobili who once helped defend the Hammers in the Olympics, but this is the NBA. If you give him an elbow, you may have to end immediately. If you want him to go up to help defend the Hammers, he is absolutely terrified " Zhang Lili said.

On the sidelines, Popovich only looked at the ball, and then shouted at the court: "Tim, go in, and hand over your people to others."

He felt a little regretful, if it wasn't for the big bastard Hammer, Bowen's role on the field would definitely be much greater than it is now.

This time he also made some requests to Bowen, but Bowen didn't dare to agree, and Duncan didn't agree, which made him very regretful.

He hated the Hammer even more. This pest blocked the Spurs' way to win the championship.

Spurs attack.

The Suns didn't implement a full-court press, nor did they implement a half-court press.

Ron Adams' consideration is that the Spurs' Parker and Ginobili are both breakthrough masters, and both have the ability to make a quick stop jump shot. They are stronger than last year. Once the double-team fails, the Suns' defense will be very passive, so the defense Tactics are based on positional defense.

At this time, Parker advanced to the top of the arc while making a tactical gesture of pulling away.

"Defense!"

Li Ba roared under the basket, and his voice shook the audience.

"Damn it!"

Nazr next to him was taken aback.

Bowen quickly moved to the left wing at the free throw line and took Battier away, so that he cleared the obstacles for Parker's breakthrough from the top of the arc to the paint area.

Marbury immediately implemented close defense on Parker.

But Bowen, who had just arrived on the left wing, suddenly turned around and ran over to do a pick-and-roll. Parker took the opportunity to break through and slashed into the paint from a high position with the ball.

Battier quickly switched to defend Parker, and Li Ba, who was in the low position on the left wing, also entered the basket.

As long as Parker advances again, he will be double-teamed by the Suns.

At this time, on the right-wing three-point line, Ginobili made a sudden reverse run, took a step away from Posey, and moved quickly to the top of the arc.

At this time, Parker suddenly turned around with a top and passed the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili took off the moment he received the ball and made a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

3:2, the Spurs lead away.

"From this ball, it can be seen that the Spurs will still try to break through today. After all, Parker and Ginobili are both breakthrough guards. But facing the Hammers, they should play breakthrough tactics and use breakthroughs to oppress the Suns' defense. Afterwards, pass it out and let the outside shot." Zhang Lili said.

"The Spurs eliminated the Suns in the first round the year before last, and the Suns eliminated the Spurs in the first round last year, causing the Spurs to fail to defend their title. They are mortal enemies, and we know it very well," Yu Jia said.

Sun attack.

Li Ba went to the basket again, but Nazr did not do anything to hinder him.

Marion still pulled to the right wing, but this time Duncan let him take two steps.

Duncan stared at both ends of the edge of the paint, seeing Li Ba carrying Nazr to the basket, he was even more nervous.

At this time Marbury passed the ball.

Parker wanted to stop it, but Marbury was at his peak at this time, so he couldn't stop it.

Seeing the ball coming in, Duncan rushed into the paint immediately.

Instead of following, Marion took another step outside, making it more difficult for Duncan to return to defense or the Spurs to make up defense.

For the Spurs, the defensive formation began to flow. Ginobili on the right-wing three-point line rushed to Marion inside, Parker defended Posey, and Bowen defended Marbury.

Since there is a double team, there must be a vacancy.

Even when defending in multiple positions, several timeouts will be created.

But how big this gap is depends on how good the Spurs' zone defense is. If the defensive speed is fast enough, the chance of this gap is not great, because once the double team is formed and the passing line is cut off, the gap is useless.

The offensive side must seize this open space, and the ball holder must have good enough passing vision and passing ability. Before the double-team upper body, pass the ball to the open space, and it is an open space with good shooting ability.

Li Ba has this ability.

Seeing Duncan pounced in, he would be on his upper body in the next second. He carried Nazl on his left arm, grabbed the ball with his right hand, grabbed the ball firmly, and then threw it directly to Battier on the left wing.

Battier was emptied by Bowen, and by this time he had withdrawn to the left-wing three-point line.

Bowen, who had just reached the top of the arc, quickly returned to defense, but there was still no time?

Battier catches the ball and makes a jump shot.

"Shua!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

3:5, the Suns lead.

"Defend! Defend!"

Li Ba roared repeatedly.

The last ball made the Spurs shoot too smoothly, and he was not satisfied with the defense that time.

"Hey, Sean Battier shot through the Spurs with his three-pointer." The Sun commentator started his roar.

"Both teams feel good." Barkley laughed.

"The Hammer's pass is very good. If it is slower, Duncan's double-team will come up." Kenny Smith said.

Spurs attack.

"Follow up!"

Li Ba roared again under the basket.

On the right-wing three-point line, Posey put a hand on Ginobili's body.

The same is true for other people. Using this defensive action, they can judge the opponent's movement in time, and use pulling to block the opponent's movement in time.

The Spurs players did not stand in one position and kept running.

The Spurs' frontcourt is full of squeaking sneakers, which are very harsh and nerve-wracking.

Parker once again made a tactical gesture of pulling away.

Seeing this, Li Ba lifted it up directly, took a step below the free throw line, and let Nazr go.

Parker, who was about to break through, saw it, and instantly made a decision in his mind, pass it on, or not pass it on?

At this time, Bowen has already run over to do the pick-and-roll, and he must make a decision as soon as possible.

The pick-and-roll happened, and Parker broke through the wall.

Li Ba took a step forward with his right foot and stepped on the free throw line.

At this time, Parker, who had just completed a breakthrough against Marbury, saw Li Ba rushing towards him, and immediately chose to pass the ball.

The vacancy is too great, the opportunity is too good, he can't help it.
