Chapter 542 That's Right, What's Wrong with Hammer?
Why did you lose Duncan at this time and go to help defend Parker from a long distance?
The reason is simple. At this time, Parker is breaking through Marbury, and it is impossible to notice him. When Parker breaks through, his defense will be in place.
As long as he's in place, he cuts off the passing lanes of Parker and Duncan.
Duncan didn't catch Li Ba, and immediately moved to the basket, while extending his hand to Parker.
Parker broke through Marbury and reached the right elbow area in two steps. With a glance, he saw that Li Ba was about to pounce in front of him. He immediately jumped up instinctively and "threw" the ball.
But Li Ba had calculated that he would pass the ball, so he jumped up immediately.
Why was he so sure Parker would pass the ball instead of jumping himself?
The reason is very simple. Parker didn't dare to shoot the last ball which was only a foot away from the basket. How dare he shoot this one?
In fact, as he expected, Parker's blocking of Li Ba had a shadow, and he really passed the ball.
"Snapped!"
Li Ba relaxed his right arm and grabbed the ball with one claw.
"Yeah, the Hammer sent a block. He was so kind to Parker and gave him a mistake." The Suns commentator roared excitedly.
At this moment, the sun was about to set, and without Parker by his side, Marbury ran wildly and finally hit a layup.
6:2, the Suns lead.
"Damn it, Tony, your intention to pass the ball is too obvious! Calm down, don't rush to shoot." Popovich roared from the sidelines.
In the backcourt, Parker, who was advancing with the ball, dared not look at Popovich because Marbury was right in front of him.
"The audience is pressing!"
At this time, Li Ba was standing on a high position with Duncan. Seeing that Parker's advance was not fast, he felt that there was a chance, and immediately shouted loudly.
As soon as he gave an order, all the Suns players immediately started to move, wrapping themselves around the players they were defending.
"What does Hammer want?"
In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley shouted.
Marbury jumped in front of Parker and began to stalk him.
Parker was in a hurry, he turned sideways, with his left hand against Marbury, trying to pass the ball.
Ginobili frantically ran to the backfield, but Posey followed him to the side, pulling him with his left hand and blocking him with his right hand, cutting off his receiving line.
Ginobili ran back again, but still couldn't escape Posey's follow-up defense.
In terms of single defense ability, Posey is far better than him.
"Look at him!"
At this time, Li Ba pointed to Bowen on the left flank and shouted to Battier.
When Duncan saw that Li Ba ignored him, he immediately withdrew from the high position.
Parker was about to break through forcefully, when he saw it, his eyes lit up, a good opportunity, and he threw the ball over.
"Passed!"
This time Li Ba did not rely on his locking skills, but kept staring at Parker from the corner of his eye. At this time, as soon as Parker shot the ball, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Duncan.
Duncan stepped forward in a hurry, ready to take off and catch the ball with all his strength.
But this step of his has narrowed the distance between him and Li Ba.
Li Ba rushed in front of Duncan, but he didn't steal the ball, but just entangled Duncan to prevent him from stealing it.
Duncan was inferior to others, his center of gravity was pushed, and he couldn't take off at all. He could only watch the ball fly over his head.
"Yeah yeah..."
When the ball flew out of the bottom line, the Sun commentator screamed excitedly.
"It's so beautiful, this defense is amazing!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
"I understand. The hammer caught the Spurs by surprise. But Parker was careless about the ball. He should have time to break through Marbury." Barkley laughed.
"In terms of single defense, the Suns are stronger than the Spurs, so the Suns occasionally play a full-court press, which can also make the Spurs mess up. Mistakes are inevitable."
Kenny Smith laughed.
Duncan was aggrieved, but he had no choice but to run to the backcourt with his head down.
"Tim, your stomach is full of bad water, what are you thinking to trick me?" Li Ba ran on one side, teasing triumphantly.
"You're the one full of bad water." Duncan couldn't hold back, and sprayed.
"Are you ready to go fishing?" Li Ba said with a grin.
"Did you forget what I said, I don't fish." Duncan said angrily.
"Oh, then you can go prawn fishing. Do you have a prawn license? No you'll get caught and maybe get shot."
When the two came to the basket, Li Ba continued to tease.
Duncan really wanted to say, I don't fish for shrimps, and I won't get shot, but he didn't want to talk to Li Ba anymore, so he kept his mouth tightly shut.
Sun attack.
The Spurs have learned and behaved, and there is also a full-court press.
Marbury calmly bypassed Parker, who chased after him to harass him.
"here."
Seeing this situation, Li Ba suddenly rushed to the high position and shouted at Marbury.
Marbury reacted quickly and threw the ball over.
Duncan ran to the high position quickly, but was blocked by Li Ba's arms.
With Duncan stuck, Li Ba received the ball smoothly.
"Boom!"
With a very fierce back arch, Duncan grunted and took half a step back.
Taking this opportunity, Li Ba quickly turned left, blocked Duncan with his left hand, controlled the ball with his right hand, and rushed to the basket.
Duncan turned around and defended to the side, trying to push Li Ba out, but he was half a foot behind Li Ba and failed to do so.
After turning around for two steps, he pressed Duncan with his left hand to keep him from approaching. Li Ba suddenly jumped more than a foot, and with a bang, he dunked with one arm and smashed the ball hard into the basket.
8:2, the Suns lead away by 6 points.
"Yeah, that's the sun rush! It's lightning fast! It's fast like the wind! It destroys everything! It sweeps the spurs..."
The Sun commentator screamed excitedly.
"It also raises your blood pressure."
The Spurs commentator next to him complained angrily.
"Tony, don't mess around!"
Popovich yelled at Parker.
The full-court press just now was not his instruction, it was all Parker's own initiative.
After yelling at Parker, he yelled at Duncan again: "Tim, don't let me down, where is your control over him? You let him leave you smoothly, catch the ball smoothly, and complete the turn smoothly, What are you doing?"
Duncan was speechless.
It is indeed his problem to allow Li Ba to leave the low position smoothly.
But later, he really couldn't help it.
His strength is not as good as Li Ba's, and his speed is not as good as Li Ba's. Now Li Ba's game is strength and speed, not technology. He is not as good as people in both.
The so-called one force can suppress thousands of cleverness, and there is no speed to break through. Just now he defended this time, but later he really wanted to kill the thief madly, and he was powerless.
Spurs attack.
Li Ba stood under the basket, took Duncan with one hand, and yelled at Marbury and Battier in the backcourt: "They want to press the whole court, we will press them all the way, and I will crush them to death." .”
"YES."
All the generals of the Suns responded, and immediately began a full-court press.
"Here it comes, the hammer is on fire, it's on fire..." Barkley shouted excitedly.
"Hammer took advantage, why did he get angry? If he wanted to get angry, it was also Duncan who got angry?" Kenny Smith asked suspiciously.
"Ah?" Barkley was taken aback for a moment, that's right, what's wrong with Hammer?
