Chapter 638

After the Pistons, the Suns beat the Warriors again, but then unexpectedly lost to the Grizzlies, and then beat the Jazz. In the first 8 games, they had a record of 6 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the West. After the Spurs, they were the same as the Lakers The winning percentage, but the Suns beat the Lakers, so the ranking is ahead of the Lakers.

After defeating the Jazz at home on the 18th, the team rushed to San Antonio overnight to challenge the rival Spurs away.

The Spurs have had bad luck in the past two seasons. They were crushed by the Suns. They couldn't make it to the Western Conference Finals. Even Duncan almost ran away. In the end, they spent a little extravagance this season and traded a relatively capable player, Troy. Murphy.

Murphy is 211 cm tall and weighs 111 kg. He is a white insider player. He is currently in his fifth year in his career. Last year, he averaged 34 minutes per game, with a data of 15.4+10.8. He has a large scoring area, and his three-point shooting rate is 38.8%. , At the basket and near the two-pointer twice, the two-pointer shot is the least.

The defensive ability is average, but the rebounding ability is good, which is what the Spurs need.

Coupled with the traded Michael Finley, the Spurs' starting lineup is much stronger, and the bench lineup is also much stronger.

When Li Ba challenged the Spurs, Gao Yuanyuan had already rushed back to the United States.

Together with her, there is also the team she built for Li Ba in China.

Bill Duffy and his team have been waiting in Los Angeles. The two sides met, communicated first, and then contacted Mrs. Liz of WMA.

After the meeting, everyone had a formal talk about the boxing match.

For safety reasons, Gao Yuanyuan proposed to arrange for Li Ba to play a training match first, which was exactly what Mrs. Liz wanted.

Antonio, AT&T Arena.

Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Spurs: Troy Murphy, Duncan, Bowen, Ginobili, Parker.

Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Tony Allen, Barbosa.

Li Ba still hugged Duncan when they met their mortal enemies.

"Tim, you should leave. Staying here will affect your professional evaluation." Li Ba sighed.

"You young man!" Duncan said angrily.

"Haha!" Li Ba laughed.

The visiting team, especially Li Ba, naturally received huge boos.

In this back-to-back match, Liu Yifei still followed. After the two broke through the last layer of relationship, their relationship is increasing day by day, which can be called honey.

Seeing Li Datiehammer receiving such a welcome, she was also a little at a loss, but seeing Datiehammer's indifferent face and walking towards her with a smile, she realized that she quickly stood up and hugged him.

The Spurs' football market is small. Although the ticket price is cheap, the style of play is not popular, and the game is not favored by broadcasters. Only CCTV chose to broadcast the game live.

"It's coming again? We bachelors are fed dog food every day, how can we stand on it?" Yu Jia complained.

Zhang Lili laughed beside him.

Yu Jia's words won the approval of many domestic fans, and they complained on various forums.

"Dry the spurs!"

"Fuck the spurs to death!"

Before playing, the Suns bench rang out high-spirited, aggressive, and extremely ferocious shouts.

"Hush!!!"

AT&T Arena immediately burst into loud cheers.

Duncan lowered his head slightly, stared at the Suns with big eyes, and shouted at his teammates fiercely: "This time, let's blow Li Da's mouth!"

"Blow up Li Da's mouth!"

The Spurs generals shouted in unison, and then the Spurs fans shouted one after another.

All of a sudden, AT&T was full of shouts of "explode Li Da's mouth".

Li Ba's face was dark, and his heart was ruthless. Today, he must give twenty blood caps to the Spurs, especially Duncan, who took the lead in making noise, at least ten.

Today's game, like the Lakers' battle, is related to the playoff ranking and home and away advantage. If you can win, you must win.

If the regular season winning percentage is the same, then the winning or losing between the two teams is very important.

At the start of the game, Li Ba jumped the ball and beat Duncan, and the Suns attacked.

Li Ba wanted to test the strength of today's opponent, Troy Murphy, and immediately moved to the basket.

All the Spurs fans also looked to the basket to see if the team's newly introduced inside player could have any effect on Li Ba.

The rest of the Suns were pulled away, and Duncan was also pulled to the right wing by Marion. Only Manu Ginobili was in the second position, because Tony Allen didn't have three-pointers and long-range shots. He was trying to help defend the basket and was away from the paint. District is very close.

As soon as Li Ba got close to the basket, he began to push hard, while Troy Murphy fought desperately.

The result came out almost immediately, and Li Ba successfully took a position on the edge of the reasonable collision zone, keeping Murphy behind him.

"well!"

AT&T let out some disappointed sighs.

However, Popovich on the sidelines was not disappointed. Troy Murphy must not be able to handle that guy. The purpose of his trade was to value Murphy's rebounding ability.

In his opinion, Li Ba's most powerful defense is rebounding.

And this season, the Suns have become weaker. Without Marbury, the Spurs' strong back line will suppress the Sun's back line.

This season, he is full of confidence in the team, and he will definitely lead the team to the Western Conference Finals and rush out of the Western Conference.

But today, he's going to experiment with tactics to prepare for the playoffs and the Suns' series.

At this time, Barbosa moved desperately and wanted to pass the ball in, but Parker's defense was very active, so he didn't find a chance.

He ran back, trying to get rid of Parker and then pass the ball. At this time, Ginobili suddenly rushed to the top of the arc and double-teamed.

"No, Barbosa lost the ball!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

The Suns immediately returned to the defense, but it was too late. Parker and Ginobili flew together, two on one, Barbosa did not hold back, and finally Parker hit a layup.

0:2, the Spurs opened the scoring record first.

"Without Marbury, the Suns' speed advantage has turned into a disadvantage on the back line. The Suns must pay attention to this. If this cannot be resolved, the Spurs will directly suppress the Suns on the back line. Very serious."

Zhang Lili said immediately.

"Barbosa is still a bit immature and makes too many mistakes. As the main point guard, he wasted a lot of possessions." Yu Jia said.

"No, in the first two seasons he mainly played the No. 2 position on the bench. This season, he was suddenly allowed to start at the No. 1 position. He is not used to it, and his style of play needs to be adjusted. Of course, his talent is definitely not as good as that of the No. Marbury's." Zhang Lili said.

Sun attack.

Li Ba once again wanted a position at the basket.

Parker tried his best to prevent Barbosa from passing the ball, and Ginobili was ready to double-team the Suns at the No. 1 position at any time.

"Barbosa's passing ability is still not as good as Marbury." Zhang Lili said at this time.

"Oh, lost the ball again?" Yu Jia exclaimed again at this time.

Ginobili double-teamed the top of the arc again, Barbosa passed the ball in the gap, and was intercepted by Bowen. The Spurs played a fast break again and hit a goal, leading by 4 points.

"Blow up Li Da's mouth!"

There was thunderous applause at the AT&T Arena, and the fans started shouting that sentence again.
