Chapter 873 Bogut’s Alley-Oop
Reed moved forward with the ball crazily, rushed through the center line, and was blocked by Li Dam.
Li Ba stopped at the top of the arc, opened his arms, and directly blocked a space of more than two meters.
Stopping suddenly and slowing down, bang bang, while dribbling the ball under his crotch, Reid swung left and right very quickly, trying to shake Li Ba, and then break through or shoot a jumper directly.
But how strong is Li Ba's defense?
In his rookie season, he rarely faltered, preferring to let his opponents break through or take action. This is an ability that coach Liu Baile criticized.
Dayao made progress after being scolded for two months. How could it have no effect after being scolded for three full years?
At this time, Reid suddenly stopped, swayed from side to side, and immediately took the crossover dribble, preparing for a fake sudden shot.
He is transporting the ball from between his front and back legs to the floor. His next move is to pick up the ball from behind and get up to shoot a jump shot.
But at this moment, Li Ba suddenly slipped his left foot forward, leaned over, and pointed at the basketball with his left hand.
The nerve reaction speed is comparable to that of a top 100-meter athlete, the super-accurate capture, the extremely fast first step, and the super-long arms, so that Reed did not have time to react, and the ball was hit.
"Oh, what a steal! Rondo picked up the ball, Marion turned around first, he entered the paint, Rondo passed the ball...yeah!"
The Suns commentator was roaring.
"boom!"
Marion hit a one-armed tomahawk dunk and smashed the ball into the basket.
After stealing the ball, Li Ba breathed a sigh of relief.
"What the hell, bucks cubs, if you dare to take off my pants, I will kill you today!" He muttered as he walked towards the backcourt.
Barkley said at this time: "Today the Bucks can do it. They actually played a five-and-one defense. Is this a desperate attempt to survive?"
Kenny Smith said: "Try it. The ball was passed too slowly just now, which gave them a chance. With the Hammer's receiving ability, the rookie should pass the ball faster. With the Hammer's attack speed at the basket, it is impossible to pass the ball faster." There might be a five-to-one chance.”
The Bucks attack and Maurice Williams advances with the ball.
He is a point guard who is stronger in offense than organization. He is small, 185 centimeters tall like Rondo, but not fast.
But he is 6 kilograms heavier than Rondo, reaching a tonnage of 90 kilograms, and carries Rondo forward to the frontcourt.
Li Dam mentioned the free throw line.
Behind him, Bogut asked for the ball under the basket.
After a season of training, Bogut is no longer what he used to be.
He was abused by Li Ba once last season, and his open shots under the basket would be blocked. He and the coaching team analyzed the reasons. First, his passing was slow, and second, his shots were slow.
The pass is slower, which allows the point guard to speed up.
If the shot is slow, firstly, the nerve reaction speed is slow, which cannot be improved. Secondly, the rhythm of the shot is too slow and the movements are not simplified enough. This can be speeded up through training and changing shooting movements.
Later, he went through arduous training, and his shooting speed really improved. Now it's time to test the results.
In fact, not only him, but other players in the league are also forced by Li Ba's terrifying defensive ability and are constantly making efforts to improve their abilities to avoid being eliminated in this era.
Point guards are improving their passing, shooters are speeding up their shots and improving their shooting percentages, etc.
But Bogut didn't catch the ball. When Maurice Williams advanced to the top of the key, he suddenly stood up and threw a three-pointer over Rondo's head.
Rookie Rondo didn't react and only stretched out his hand.
At this time Li Ba turned around immediately.
"boom!"
The basketball hits the basket and rebounds again.
Bogut stared at the basketball and jumped.
But at this moment, Li Ba returned to defense, jumped faster and higher than him, and picked off the rebound on his head.
Rondo turned around and went down quickly, and the slower Maurice Williams couldn't keep up with him.
Li Ba passed the ball, Rondo received the ball, reached the frontcourt, and hit a layup.
The Bucks attack again.
Maurice Williams advanced to the frontcourt again, and Reed clapped for the ball from beyond the left wing three-point line.
If the boss wants the ball, he must pass it.
It was Tony Allen who guarded Reid, not Ginobili.
Ginobili's task requires more energy on the offensive end. The first scoring point of the opposing team like Reid is handed over to Tony Allen, who is weak in offense and strong in defense.
Reed, a second-round pick, is good at defense and offense, is a fierce stealer, has excellent shooting, is also good at breakthroughs, and is also okay in low-post singles. He is a very enterprising player.
While leaning over to dribble, he pushed Tony Allen closer to the three-point line.
Suddenly, Reed accelerated and started to break through from the right side.
Tony Allen immediately took a step back to defend.
But Reid shrank back again, distanced himself from Tony Allen, and then calmly shot a three-point jumper.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
At this time, Rondo at the top of the arc began to turn around and descend at full speed.
Under the basket, Li Ba caught the ball and immediately stepped back toward the baseline, preparing to serve quickly.
This is the Suns' baseline serve and fast break tactic today, which is aimed at the fact that Maurice Williams is slower than Rondo.
The unprepared Maurice Williams was left behind by more than one step at the midline. When Rondo received Li Ba's pass at the top of the arc, he was left behind by nearly two steps.
"brush!"
Rondo made a layup.
3:6, the Suns lead at home.
"It's so easy to score. The Suns' fast breaks are getting better and better. In fact, in terms of speed, today the Bucks are all boys, so the overall speed should be faster. It's just that the point guard is slow." Yu Jia praised.
"The tactics are targeted. Just like letting Tony Allen beat Eddie Jones on the field. He caught the opponent's weakness and beat him hard. It is very effective. This is also a question of the rationality of the lineup. If it is unreasonable, if there is a weakness, then It is easy to be caught by opponents." Zhang Li said with a smile.
The Bucks attack.
"Hey, Maurice, give me a ball quickly and I'll give you an assist."
Being left open again, Bogut couldn't wait to wave at the basket.
Li Ba was one meter below the free throw line and three meters away from the basket. At this time, he deliberately looked at the left wing.
Maurice Williams at the top of the arc noticed Li Ba's action and immediately made a two-handed jump pass and threw the ball in from Rondo's head.
When Rondo jumped up and the ball had not yet been released, Li Ba "saw" the ball rising rapidly and immediately turned around.
Since he jumped, he either passed or shot. If he didn't pass or shoot, he would just walk.
Regardless of whether the ball is a pass or a shot, he is right to return to defense.
Bogut saw the ball coming in. At this moment, his adrenaline surged rapidly and his emotions instantly became excited.
The ball was passed over his head. He stared at the basketball and jumped at the perfect time.
The next moment, he would catch the ball in the air and then dunk.
This was an attack on the basket that he had specially trained, and it was smoother, simpler and faster than his previous offensive moves at the basket.
Alley-oop dunks like this require good coordination, staying in the air, well-developed core muscles, and high athletic quality. One disadvantage is mistakes. He didn't do this action very well before.
He has been practicing for a long time, and he started to have trouble grasping the rhythm and kept hitting the basket. Now he is very confident.
