Chapter 530 Don't Give Him a Chance

"O'Neill's 100 million in 5 years is not much smaller than the Hammer's contract, but his contract may be really bad. He is old. Who knows what he will be able to do in two or three years?"

Zhang Li laughed.

The fourth quarter started, and the two sides continued their starting lineups.

Sun attack.

Li Ba still walked towards the basket.

On the offensive end today, he will go to the basket every time, but he still doesn't play much. The purpose is to attract the Spurs' defensive attention and then shoot from the outside.

Even if the Spurs can't let the Spurs double-team him in advance, so that the outside line can't get open, it can also attract Duncan's defense, so that Marion withdraws, and there will be open opportunities.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Marion played 8 times today with a high success rate, 5 of 8 shots.

Now, when Li Ba walked to the basket, he firmly pinned Duncan to the low post on the left wing and the basket, while Marion immediately withdrew to the right wing.

The Spurs' zone defense was also good, and Bowen immediately came to the free throw line to help the defense, but it always created a short-lived open opportunity.

At this time, Marbury passed the ball in time, Marion received the ball, and made a jumper before Bowen arrived.

"Shua!"

Two points hit.

"You see, although the Hammers do not have O'Neal's dominance at the basket and cannot attract double-teams in advance, the key point is that the Spurs' backup center is too weak. Duncan has to stay in the low post to help defend, and Marion has The ability to withdraw is actually no different from double-teaming in advance, and Duncan has no chance to return to defend Marion." Zhang Lili said.

"Yes, if the Spurs' main center Lasu is on the court, he can hold the hammer for a while, which will liberate Duncan." Yu Jia said.

At this time the Spurs attack.

The Spurs pulled away again, and Parker broke through from the right wing with the help of Ginobili's wall. The former stayed on the three-point line, waiting for the pass back, and at the same time contained Marbury.

Posey switched on Parker, but he wasn't as fast as Marbury, and he wasn't as fast as Parker, so he was a step behind.

At this time, Marion, who was low on the right wing, stepped up to defend.

Duncan, on the other hand, took the opportunity to enter the paint area and blocked Li Ba, and the two immediately began to wrestle.

On the edge of the paint, Parker ran into Marion, and he turned with a top, passed Marion, and entered the paint.

The wrestling at the basket came to fruition, and Li Ba was even better. He pushed Duncan away and rushed towards Parker.

Relying on his super-long wingspan, his two arms, one left and one right, covered Parker's three breakthrough directions, forcing Parker to change direction only upwards.

Parker wanted to pass to Duncan, but he was afraid that Li Ba would catch the ball as soon as it went out, so he dared not pass it.

At this moment, Percy caught up and jumped behind Parker, and together with Li Ba, they double-teamed Parker.

At the same time, Marion jumped to the basket and entangled Duncan.

"Snapped!"

Grabbing with both hands, Li Ba snatched the ball from Parker effortlessly and completed a steal.

"Beautiful double-teaming, although the Spurs opened up the formation, but the Suns' zone defense still played this double-teaming." Barkley praised.

"I think the Spurs' offensive tactics this time are wrong. Duncan should not go into the basket to do offensive screens, but should withdraw and receive Parker's return pass." Smith said.

Barkley shook his head and said: "The Spurs' habitual offensive tactics are extremely powerful, using Parker and Ginobili's sharp breakthroughs to compress the opponent's defense, thus allowing the outside to get open opportunities.

However, facing the Suns, this breakout tactic cannot be played, because the Suns' defense will not be compressed, and they have a hammer inside, which is the key point.

After any breakthrough master enters, even Iverson may be crushed to death by a hammer, let alone Parker? So Duncan needs to cover.

So I think the tactics are right, but Duncan's strength is not enough to completely limit the hammer. Like just now, the Hammers squeezed him away and then made a very aggressive proactive defense on Parker, and his offensive screen failed. "

"You mean, the tactics are correct, but Duncan's strength is not good?" Smith said in surprise.

"Did I say that? Well, I admit that under the basket, Tim may be able to handle the hammer on the offensive end alone, but he really can't handle the hammer on the defensive end." Barkley laughed.

"Yes, the Hammer's ability to move is stronger this season, and Duncan's ability to limit him is weaker. He needs a helper." Smith said.

At this time, Marbury quickly got off, carrying Ginobili and hit a layup.

62:84, the Suns continued to expand the point difference.

The Spurs still haven't given up.

Duncan got low on the right wing, got deep, and got into the paint with his right hand against Marion, facing the free-throw line, his left arm outstretched for the ball.

Parker passed in.

Li Ba held Nazr firmly with his left hand, suddenly exerted strength, and threw himself at Duncan who was two steps away.

At this time Duncan took off and made a small hook.

Li Ba jumped up after taking a step, stretched his left arm forward, and tried his best to block the shot.

"predict!"

The small hook was really difficult to block, and Li Ba barely touched it with his fingertips.

As soon as he landed, he immediately turned around...

At this time, the basketball hit the basket and bounced, and he also jumped up and grabbed the rebound before Nazr.

"Yeah, the Hammers block again, he grabs the rebound again. Marbury turns, Hammers pass...Parker and Ginobili are chasing...catch up...Marbury didn't shoot Chance, he pulled to the left wing, the hammer came up...he came up...the pass..."

"boom!"

Li Ba flew up, caught the ball with both hands, and smashed the ball into the basket with all his strength.

When the body swung forward high, there was a burst of cheers, and the Meixi Arena fell into a boil.

Behind Duncan desperately chased to only two steps away, but he did not have the cap-chasing ability of LeBron James and Kobe, so he could only look at the basket and sigh.

This super heavy dunk after the block seems to have completely demoralized the Spurs.

In the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, the point difference widened to 29 points. Popovich announced that he would give up and withdrew the main force.

However, Li Ba is still on the field, he does not leave the field.

"The Hammer's current data is 9 of 10 shots, 3 of 5 free throws, 21 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 7 steals, 4 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He is one cap away. This is the reason why he does not end." Barkley He laughed.

"5*5 is not easy for the Hammers. He should play. But I don't think the Spurs will be happy."

Kenny Smith said.

"Swipe what should be done! Who told us to black our MVP? The Suns came off the bench in the second quarter, but Duncan played for 10 minutes differently? The Hammers didn't play for a second in the second quarter, and now they're only playing 30 minutes."

Yu Jia said with some dissatisfaction.

"Shameless!"

Popovich barked at the Suns bench.

"You can choose to strike."

Frank shrugged, trash-talked, and ignored him.

"Don't give him a chance! Don't give him any chance!"

No way, Popovich, who was almost pissed off by Frank, could only yell at the substitute players on the field.
