Chapter 460 If I Trade the Hammer to You...

The so-called tentative step is a breakthrough step, which is often used by outsiders.

Take a step to the right, shake your opponent, then break to the left, or vice versa.

"Test step." Barkley shouted immediately.

At the moment when Stoudemire took a step to the right, Li Ba took the first step forward, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and grabbed Stoudemire's basketball hidden under his left rib.

"Snapped!"

He pressed his right palm on the ball, then squeezed his five fingers, and used the forward momentum of his body to push forward.

"predict!"

He pushed the ball away from Stoudemire's hands, and then sprinted past Stoudemire.

"Yeah yeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy as was was, the yelling of the sun commentator sounded instantly.

"Here it goes again! This is the 7th steal of the Hammer, the 7th in a single quarter!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Marbury was about to go down, Li Ba's pass was flying in, and Nabufang's pursuit and defense were not in place.

"Snapped!"

After receiving the ball, he sped up his horse and began to push forward crazily.

"Shua!"

Leaped up and made a layup.

16:2, the Suns lead away.

When Marbury landed on the ground, Li Ba in the backcourt raised his right palm, spread his fingers apart, squeezed it hard, and shouted loudly, "Defense!"

"Defense!"

Together with the bench, all the Suns shouted in unison.

Madison Square Garden was silent, and almost all fans looked at Li Ba.

They hope to see a shattering victory tonight, hope to see a gorgeous attack like quicksilver, hope to see Stoudemire dunks one after another, hope to see Nash pass one after another.

However, everything was destroyed by this man, with his hands.

"Cover the sky with one hand. This person can really cover the sky with one hand on the court." At this moment, they gave this person an evaluation.

"Crack, click..."

After the bottom line, behind Li Ba, the reporters pressed the shutter frantically.

Kurt Thomas was standing behind the baseline, and Marion was standing in front of him, waving his hands.

"The Suns still need to control their defensive intensity. This kind of full-court press consumes a lot of energy and cannot last."

Zhang Reasonable said.

"It would be great if we could destroy Knicks' will before then." Yu Jia laughed.

"Hey, it's possible. Hammer and his team are good at this kind of thing." Zhang Lili nodded immediately thinking of the Suns slaughtering the Spurs in the playoffs.

At this time Nash received the ball, Kurt Thomas responded on one side and pushed forward.

"Hurry up, pass the frontcourt, bring up the speed..."

D'Antoni roared loudly, sweating profusely without knowing it.

Quentin Richardson sprinted frantically across the center line, cutting to the left wing while using his speed to dislodge the slower Posey.

At this time, only Li Ba was in the low position on the left wing, and the other Suns players had not yet settled down, and the defensive formation had not yet formed.

Nash, who was advancing rapidly, saw this opportunity and passed the ball directly without any hesitation.

Richardson was looking back at the ball as he charged toward the paint when he saw the ball coming.

When he turned his head, Li Ba began to raise his hand.

He deliberately chose a stealth angle and used Richardson's body to block Nash's line of sight, so Nash didn't see his uplift, and Richardson wanted to look back at the ball, but he didn't see it either.

Nash passes the ball in advance so that he can avoid Posey who is one step behind Richardson.

Richardson saw the ball coming, and quickly fixed his eyes on the high-altitude ball, and began to adjust his pace.

At this time, Li Ba rushed forward.

"careful!"

On the right, Stoudemire, who saw Li Ba's movements, shouted loudly.

But it was too late, Li Ba rushed past Richardson and took the basketball with him.

"Yeah, the 8th steal, this is the 8th..." The Sun commentator roared with extreme excitement.

"Wow, it's incredible!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

"It was less than half a quarter, and in five minutes, the Hammers scored so many steals, thanks to the fast passing of the run-and-gun tactics. Except for the Knicks, it is impossible for other teams to pass like this. It is too risky. " Zhang Lili said.

"Hammer, do it again, you are the number one in league history." Barkley shouted.

"Iron Hammer tied the league's most steals in a single quarter, and he was only one time away from breaking this record." Kenny Smith said loudly.

Marbury didn't see Li Ba's movement this time either, so he turned around a bit slower, and after receiving the ball, Nash blocked him.

But Nabu's defense was really bad. Marbury pushed forward with the ball, knocked Nash away, gave him an elbow, and then he never caught up with Marbury again.

"Shua!"

Marbury hit a layup.

18:2, away game, the Suns continue to lead.

"The Knicks' defense is really lacking. Marbury's quick play is successful every time. The offense can't be played. The defense is not good. This game is over."

Zhang Lili shouted.

The Knicks served, and Nash let Richardson, who was coming over to respond, serve.

The sun is still the same full-court pressing defense.

The ball was finally passed out, and Nash called a timeout immediately after receiving the ball.

"I don't know how the Knicks players feel about the defensive intensity of the Suns. I feel suffocated when I sit here and watch." Yu Jia said.

"Now Marbury's defense has also improved. Today's top five starters are all defensive champions. And on this basis, after the addition of Coach Adams' defensive system, the hammer will directly enhance the power of this defensive system. As long as there is no problem with physical fitness, no matter how strong the Knicks' offensive firepower is, it will not be easy to play." Zhang Lili said.

"Marbury's defense is mainly against Nash. He is very strong, while Nash is relatively fragile and has a great defensive advantage."

Yu Jia laughed.

On the Knicks bench, the atmosphere was like iron, only the sound of panting and drinking water one after another.

D'Antoni, standing in front of him, wiped his sweat. He was under a lot of pressure now, so he took off his coat, opened his neckline, and rolled up his sleeves. Only then did he feel a little more relaxed.

In the VIP private room, it was stuffy and a little heavy.

Suns general manager Colangelo is smiling, of course, while Knicks owner James Dolan and general manager smiling assassin Isiah Thomas are frozen.

Dolan and Thomas didn't understand why the team with the second record in the league played like this when they met the Suns?

Is there such a big gap between the second and first in the league?

"Run and bomb tactics, are they really not suitable for the playoffs?" Thomas began to think about this question.

"Jerry, you are lucky. But, this game has just begun..." James Dolan forced a smile.

"James, if I trade you the hammer..." Colangelo said.

Before he finished speaking, Dolan jumped up from the sofa and said anxiously to him: "You can take anyone you want, everyone, including D'Antoni."

Thomas was taken aback, and thought to himself, does that include me?

Colangelo hurriedly said: "James, I just want to say that if I trade the hammer to you, the Phoenix fans will kill me with guns."

"oh!"

Dolan sat back on the sofa dejectedly.
