Chapter 545 Boss, I Am Very Interested in Your Second-Hand Car
"Oh, the ball was broken! The Hammer sent a wonderful steal, and he made the Spurs' offensive tactics fall short." The Suns commentator roared excitedly.
"Passing the ball patiently again and again, but the Suns have a hammer." Yu Jia said excitedly.
"This is the embodiment of defensive talent. Hammer has an abnormal sense of smell on the defensive end, precise judgment, and decisive attack. These are invisible talents that cannot be reflected in physical measurement data." Zhang Lili laughed.
Li Ba steals the ball, sweeps past Parker, and personally holds the ball to the frontcourt.
His advance immediately attracted Parker and Ginobili's double-team.
At this time, Marbury rushed from the left wing (Suns frontcourt) crazily, threw away Bowen, received a pass from Li Ba after reaching the frontcourt, quickly cut into the basket, made a layup and gave Li Ba an assist .
17:5, the Suns led by 12 points.
On the sidelines, Bobo was furious and roared at Duncan: "I said, your most important task is to keep an eye on him! As I said, the distance between you and him should be kept within one foot. You tell me, you How far was it from him? Thirty feet or a hundred feet? You dropped him and he stole the ball from us."
Duncan was scolded bloody, but speechless.
Popovich continued to scold: "I don't want your vacant seat, I just want you to follow him closely. Even if he goes to Hawaii for vacation, you will follow him for me, do you understand?"
Duncan nodded and ran to the frontcourt.
"Tim, I'm sure I won't take you to Hawaii. I'm not gay. I'll pick the prettiest girlfriend from my group."
Li Ba, who was running aside, complained.
Duncan's face was dark, and he gave Li Ba a hard look.
Next, Duncan really clung to Li Ba and never left him.
As a result, Li Ba's efficiency has dropped significantly.
But Li Ba has advantages in strength and speed. Duncan's stalking still can't completely restrict him to death. He still maintains a strong ability to return to the paint area, and at the same time, he can also make a certain amount of auxiliary defense on the outside.
But his efficiency dropped after all, and the point difference between the two teams did not widen further.
After the first quarter, 30:19, the Suns led by 11 points.
Li Ba made 2 more shots later, all of which were second offenses after grabbing offensive rebounds. He made 5 of 5 shots and scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
Popovich frowned when he saw Li Ba's data. Is this a 5*5 rhythm again? Damn vermin! How could such a pest appear in the alliance?
In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley was analyzing the first quarter. He said: "Popovich finally found a tactic that can fight against the Suns, but this tactic is still the old way, using Duncan to contain the hammer."
"Unfortunately, this season's hammer is no longer the hammer of last season. Duncan has been unable to completely limit the hammer, so the point difference has not narrowed." Kenny Smith said.
"But it works. The Spurs' offensive tactics have played out, at least they can score. The Suns have never played the same defensive intensity in the first half of the quarter. The two teams have returned to the same level. Of course, Kenny, you are right, the Spurs did not Narrow the gap, so they have to work hard." Barkley said.
On the bench of the Suns, Li Ba said to Frank: "Frank, I will continue to play in the second quarter to disrupt Duncan's physical rhythm. If we have a score advantage in the third quarter, I will rest and try to defeat them in the fourth quarter. You see How about it?"
Frank agreed, but he took a look at Li Ba's huge girlfriend group, and told him again: "If you have physical problems, come down immediately."
"Don't worry, Frank, my ban is perfectly executed." Li Ba said awkwardly.
"Boss, you are too wasteful!" Barbosa said with a mean smile on his face, and he asked again: "Boss, please take care when you change cars. I am also very interested in second-hand luxury cars recently."
"Puchi!"
Everyone laughed.
Li Ba's face was a little dark, and he said in his heart, it seems that it is best for the team to trade this kid next season, or sooner or later his head will be green.
In the second quarter, Li Ba played, and Duncan followed suit.
For the Suns, Li Ba and Dazhi partnered inside, Payton and Barbosa on the back, and Shane Battier on the front.
The Spurs have Duncan and Nazr on the inside, Parker and Brent Barry on the back, and Bowen on the front.
In this quarter, in terms of insiders, the Suns have the upper hand overall.
Although Duncan's offense is stronger, under Li Ba's defense, he doesn't take many shots, and his main energy is to contain Li Ba and control the rebound.
As for the Suns' interior offense, Li Ba also doesn't take many shots, focusing on the defensive end.
But at the 4th position, Dazhi pulled out to fight Nazr, making 4 of 7 shots, including 2 of 3 3-pointers, and scored 10 points in a single quarter, which can be regarded as blowing up Nazr.
But on the outside, it is the Spurs who have the advantage.
Parker, Barry, and Bowen made frequent three-pointers, making 5 of 11 shots in a single quarter.
Among them, Barry seized the sun's defensive loophole and Barbosa made 3 of 5 shots in the half quarter, shooting Barbosa and forcing Frank to replace Tony Allen.
At halftime, 52:46, the Suns still led by 6 points, and the Spurs pulled back 5 points.
In the second quarter, Li Ba made 1 shot and 1 shot, scored 1 second offense, scored 2 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 foul.
Of his 3 assists, 1 offensive rebound was given to Da Zhi, and 2 defensive rebounds were given to Barbosa.
In addition to the first quarter, he made 6 of 6 shots in the half, scored 12 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks and 1 foul.
Come back at halftime and the game restarts.
In the third quarter, Li Ba did not play, but sat on the bench. Chandler played, partnered with Marion, and played against Horry and Nazl.
Seeing that Li Ba was not on, Duncan also sat on the bench.
But soon, he couldn't sit still, because the inside of the Spurs was overwhelmed by Chandler and Marion on both offense and defense.
Chandler dominated the paint on defense, and Marion, with his razor-sharp cuts, blasted the Spurs on offense.
In just 4 minutes, the Suns played a wave of 10:4 attacks, 62:50, and the score difference reached 12 points.
Duncan was replaced immediately, and Li Ba continued to rest off the court.
"Once the Spurs do not have Duncan inside, it can only be regarded as a third-rate inside combination in the league. If Duncan goes up, it will be a first-rate combination."
Barkley complained.
"But the Suns' inside combination is top-notch, if not top-notch. And if this continues, Tim Duncan will be dragged down by the hammer physically."
Kenny Smith said.
"The Suns' inside combination should be divided into two ends. On the defensive end, it is an absolute top-level combination; on the offensive end, it is second-rate? Or quasi-first-rate. In general, you are right, above the first-rate."
Barkley laughed.
After the third quarter, under the leadership of Duncan, the Spurs pulled the score back, 72:70, only 2 points behind.
