Chapter 450 Our Prince Flies on the Hammerhead
Hamilton rushed to the basket while staring at the incoming ball. When the ball was about to enter, he suddenly heard a reminder from Big Ben.
"how?"
His heart skipped a beat for an instant.
At this time, the ball came.
"Snapped!"
Just then, on the right side, a long arm stretched out from behind him, and a big hand grabbed the ball.
"Hammer!?"
At this time, he understood the meaning of Da Ben's words, but he didn't understand, didn't Da Ben have stuck the hammer behind him?
"Yeah, perfect steal, stealing king Hammer gave Billups a turnover." The roar of the Sun commentator sounded.
Marbury had already turned around and went down quickly. Li Ba threw the ball in front of the former, and Marbury caught the ball and quickly advanced.
Billups returned to the defense quickly, but the absolute speed was not as fast as Marbury, and he failed to catch up. In the end, Marbury made a layup and hit a goal.
4:0, the Suns lead.
"Ben, are you fast asleep? Where's your crush?"
Larry Brown was roaring. He didn't understand why Big Ben's condition was not good every time he met the hammer.
"Chauncey, use your brain to pass the ball, don't pass it to the opponent."
Directed at Billups, Larry Brown continued to growl.
Billups looked confused, can this be my fault?
Pistons attack.
Larry Brown's offensive tactic is to empty the penalty area, then let Hamilton or Prince cut in, and then split the ball out after encountering obstacles.
Rasheed Wallace pulled to the right-wing three-point line, and Marion followed up.
Big Ben also wanted to pull, but he estimated that the hammer would let him go directly.
On the right wing, Prince cuts in and Battier is half a step behind.
On the left flank, Hamilton was moving erratically.
When Prince was about to cut into the paint, Li Ba was already under the basket.
At this time, Billups passed the ball down, and Prince caught the ball and killed it into the paint.
At this time, Da Ben suddenly took a step around and blocked Li Ba's left (lower) side.
As soon as Prince saw it, he immediately changed his direction, holding the ball and heading for the basket, from behind Big Ben.
Battier, who was chasing after him, was also blocked by Da Ben.
At the time of Da Ben's pick-and-roll, Li Ba started to turn around, but Da Ben pinched his left arm. Although he broke free, it was too late.
"boom!"
Prince sprints past Big himself, then sprints to the rim, and turns around for a dunk.
4:2, the Pistons fell behind at home.
"What the hell!" Li Ba cursed.
"Hammer, you should get used to it." Big Ben said coldly.
"I'm just used to sealing you on the floor." Li Ba spouted.
"Oh, our prince is flying on the head of the hammer!" the live commentator of the Pistons shouted excitedly.
"Nice pick-and-roll screen." Barkley praised.
"Hammer, pay attention to pick-and-roll protection."
Defensive coach Ron Adams was on hand to remind.
Sun attack.
Marion pulls out of the low post and runs to the right wing to catch the ball and is caught by Rasheed Wallace as Prince comes down from the right-wing three-point line to double-team.
Marion wanted to pass to Battier, but was broken by Prince's long arm.
The Pistons made a fast break, but was blocked by Marbury, and turned into a positional battle.
On the left wing, Hamilton tried to cut into the paint, and Posey was in place. He crossed the paint and pulled to the right wing.
The Suns quickly switched defenses, Li Ba "escorted" Hamilton through the paint, and Posey made up defense against Ben.
Hamilton reached the right wing and tried to pull Li Ba out, but Battier on the right-wing three-point line was blocked, the Suns switched again, and Li Ba returned to the paint.
The Pistons ran continuously, but in the end they didn't get a good chance to open up. The attack time was approaching, and Hamilton forced a mid-range shot over Posey's head on the left wing.
His strongest is running without the ball, taking open shots, rather than hitting hard. Posey's hand directly covered his face, blocking his sight.
"boom!"
The ball bounced off the basket.
When the ball was flying, Li Ba had already moved ahead of time, and after blocking Daben, he grabbed the defensive rebound.
"Compared to the Pistons, the Suns' defensive system is not as good, but with the hammer sitting at the basket, it can make up for it. It can already compete with the Pistons in defense." Barkley laughed.
"The battle with the Spurs has proved the establishment of the Sun's defensive system. So far, the Sun's ability to suppress opponents' shooting percentage and scoring is also the best in the league." Kenny Smith said.
"But you can't deny that the role of the hammer on the defensive end far surpasses the Spurs' Duncan and the Pistons' Big Ben. I think the Suns will be stronger after a while." Barkley said.
"You're right." Smith laughed.
The Suns attack, and Marbury goes down quickly.
No one in the Pistons could catch up with Marbury. Billups tried his best and was thrown away by more than one step. Finally, Marbury made a layup.
6:2, the Suns lead.
The Pistons attacked and called a timeout.
"The Suns have too many quick-down tactics, even gambling, but the success rate is high. Once they are played, a weakness of the Pistons will be exposed. No one can keep up with Marbury's speed at the back." Barkley road.
"Yes, the Pistons will be very passive if they can't stop the Suns' quick play tactics. There are only two ways to solve it. One is to restrict the Hammers from getting the ball from the source, and the second is to let Billups follow closely. Marbury, stop him from going down immediately." Smith said.
"It's very difficult. Both the Hammers and Marbury are superstars in their respective positions. Big Ben and Billups don't have that ability. If they had, they could have done it last season." Barkley laughed.
"If Rasheed Wallace joins the restrictions on the Hammers, there is great hope. After all, they successfully restricted O'Neal's performance in the finals." Smith said.
"Hey, Kenny, that's on the defensive end. What they're trying to do now is offensively limit what the Hammers can do on the defensive end, which is a whole different situation. Two guys on their own offense going to guard a defender, It's funny," Barkley laughed.
"Okay, okay, what you said makes sense." Smith laughed.
In front of the Pistons bench, Larry Brown was yelling: "Ben, use some strength, you are the key, you must restrain that guy, don't let him move freely, don't let him grab rebounds on your head at will."
"I'll do it."
After wiping away the saliva from Larry Brown, Big Ben took half a step back.
"Rashid, don't pull too far on offense, you're right there in the low post, help Ben control that big pest. Yes, that's the biggest pest in the paint. You can use your offensive ability to attract him double-team and pass to the cutting teammate," Larry Brown yelled again.
Rasheed Wallace nodded. He is the best team player. Victory is more important than statistics. He has no problem with the coach's arrangement. It is just that his temper has exploded a little, and his anger value is too easy to fill up.
The timeout is over and the game is back.
Rasheed Wallace was in the low post on the right wing, and after receiving the ball, he hit Marion with his back.
He is proficient in various offensive methods. After leaning against Marion, he suddenly turned around and shot the straight-arm fadeaway jumper he is very good at.
This skill is his common offensive method on the low wings. His shots are high, and his straight-arm jumpers are fast and efficient.
Marion jumped up to block the shot and didn't keep up with the rhythm.
"Shua!"
Two points hit.
6:4, the Pistons fell behind.
