Chapter 283 Victory

The moment he landed, Li Ba jumped up reflexively, jumped up with Duncan on his back, and turned sideways in the air.

On the right side, the right arm pressed upwards obliquely, and the right palm pressed towards the basketball locked by him.

Duncan just doesn't understand, how do you know where the ball is if you don't watch it?

When he saw Li Ba, who was close at hand, jumped up and pressed his palm directly, this thought flashed through his mind, he was surprised, depressed, but he couldn't understand it.

"boom!"

Duncan smashed his arms and hit the ball directly on Li Ba's right palm.

"Boom!"

Li Ba was directly smashed down. Duncan's strength was very strong. He staggered and couldn't stand still, and sat on the ground.

This is the second time he fell to the ground tonight and this quarter, and he was directly knocked over by Duncan.

And Duncan also failed to smash the ball into the basket. When it fell to the ground, the ball was still in his hands.

"flute!"

The whistle sounded, Duncan walked, and the ball was exchanged.

"Oh oh oh oh, another two consecutive blocks! The hammer sent out five blocks in a single quarter! This is the seventh block and the eighth block in this field! Spurs players, continue to hit our goal In the paint, the Hammers will send more blocks, that will give us an adrenaline rush! We need excitement! The most complete excitement! And you will swallow the bitter fruit of failure!"

The roar of the Suns on-site commentator sounded, and a small group of Suns fans who followed responded enthusiastically. Amidst the shouts, their palms kept shaking.

This two consecutive seals, together with the three consecutive seals just now, determined the final tone of this game.

Although Duncan still played well, but including himself, the Spurs players no longer hit the basket. The outside line has no guarantee of shooting percentage, and in the case of no guarantee of rebounds, this is a fatal point.

94:83, the Spurs lost the crucial G5 game at home.

Duncan made 13 of 28 shots in 48 minutes of the game. With Li Ba rarely assisting in defense, his shooting percentage was close to 50%. In addition, he made 6 of 10 free throws and scored 32 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls.

Li Ba defended with all his strength, and played a fast break in the fourth quarter. He only made 3 of 3 shots in 48 minutes, 6 points, 27 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, 8 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. The statistics may not be as good as Duncan, but he Protected the paint area, drove the Spurs out of the paint area, and protected the rebounds, leading the team to victory.

With a big score of 3 to 2, the Suns took the initiative in the series.

In the interview after the game, Barkley asked with a smile: "Iron Hammer, there are very few offenses today. What are you worried about?"

"Charles, you're asking knowingly, I'm afraid of being chopped off!" Li Ba laughed.

The media reporters laughed, and Barkley asked seriously: "Win the G5 game, do you have the confidence to finish this series at home?"

Li Ba's expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, "This is inevitable."

"Iron Hammer, your average rebounds per game in the first five games was 21.6. Above you are Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain. They are close to 25. Do you have the confidence to surpass them?" Zhang Reasonable asked with a grin.

"I only have five games, and their playoff games are more than 160 games, including the end of their career when their data is declining. I am not qualified to compare with them now. You can make such a comparison at the end of my career. Comparing, that is comparable. But I believe, this is just me now, and I am full of confidence in the future." Li Ba laughed.

"How do you evaluate Tim Duncan's performance this time?" ESPN reporter asked.

"Am I qualified to evaluate the number one power forward in history? Well, just kidding. Let me put it this way, although I won this game, I have to say that I have not yet the ability to guard him. He is still efficient and super Yes. The only person who can defend Tim now is himself. But his performance is so stable, I don’t even think he can defend himself.” Li Ba laughed.

Back in the locker room, Dayao made a phone call.

"Tie Hammer, you did a good job. If you work harder, you will be able to advance to the second round."

"Dayao, are you envious?"

"Hehe! The Spurs just don't have Kobe and Ray Allen, otherwise they wouldn't have to go in to find you to get a hat, and just shoot you outside."

"Oh, you said that, the Lakers swept the Grizzlies, we still have to play G6, our physical fitness is too bad, the Spurs are really not a thing, they are trying to drag us to death."

"What the hell, we swap? If you have to hit you, just laugh." Dayao said depressedly.

A post-match press conference was held shortly afterwards.

Barkley asked Duncan, he said: "Tim, how do you evaluate the defense of the Hammers? And in the G6 game on May 1, what are you going to do?"

Duncan stared wide-eyed and replied: "Everyone has seen his defense. We are now one game behind. As for the G6 game, we will go all out and we will deal with him."

"Mr. Popovich, do you have anything to say about today's tactics? Is the loss a tactical problem or a player problem?"

Zhang Lili was flopped, and he asked.

Li Ba was surprised that Lao Zhang could ask such a question?

Without thinking about it, Popovich said blankly: "The team's loss is my problem. The players have done a good job. There are some tactics... There is a problem with the restrictions on some people, and we have done a good job with him. not enough."

Back at the hotel, Li Ba went to Alba's room for a walk, and when he was addicted to his hands, he yelled like a wolf: "It's over, it's over, Xika, I'm dying, my hormones are burning me to death! I'm about to die!" exploded!"

"Ba, I'm right here!" Alba hooked her fingers on the bed.

"Aww! After playing the playoffs, let's see how I torment you?"

Li Ba roared, turned his head and rushed into the bathroom, and the cold water bath began.

The next afternoon, the Suns headed back to Phoenix, greeted by a convoy for miles.

That night, the Mosaic team was eliminated by the Timberwolves with a score of one to four.

Dayao desperately scored 20+10 in the fifth game, but it was useless. Garnett added a double-twenty, and the three-headed monsters teamed up to score 76 points. 91:109, the Mosaic team was blown out.

"Dayao, go back to the beach and go fishing with peace of mind."

"I will help you and Dazhi prepare the fishing rod."

On May 1st, Li Ba and Dazhi went to the airport to pick up Dayao, who came to watch the Suns and Spurs' Game 6 match.

"Dazhi, didn't you get any playing time in the playoffs?" After getting in the car, Dayao chatted with Dazhi first.

"Seven minutes per game is not bad." Da Zhi laughed.

"The main reason is that the confrontation ability is a bit weak. The defensive strength of the playoffs, we and the Spurs are fighting in the paint area, and he can't stand in it." Li Ba said.

Dazhi nodded. In the second quarter of the previous game, he also played for a few minutes in the second half of the quarter and got an elbow from Duncan, and he couldn't stand it on the spot.

"At the end of the season, it's very important that you strive to increase the shooting speed of the CIC, especially in the playoffs. There is not as much space and time as the regular season for you to shoot slowly." Li Ba said.

"What Iron Hammer said is not nonsense." Dayao teased.

"Haha..." The three of them laughed.
