Chapter 67 Blocking Shots or High-Altitude Steals?
Seeing the Suns center grab another rebound, and it was a rebound that rebounded so far, Stotts felt a danger in front of the Hawks bench.
He yelled at the passing point guard Terry: "Jason, give the ball to Raheem and let him miss that rookie center."
Terry nodded. As a first-class point guard, he also felt that the rookie grabbed too many rebounds.
If the Suns hadn't shut down collectively today, it might be useless for them to be lucky. That rookie really grabs too many rebounds.
Moreover, the rookie's defense is very clean, and there is no foul yet. Of course, this is also the reason why Ratliff did not attack.
"Hey Sharif, go to the basket and hit that rookie center No. 68," he yelled at Raheem.
"call!"
When Raheem heard that he was going to fight Li Ba, he felt a little pressure, he let out a heavy breath, and began to switch positions with Ratliff.
But he was still in a calm mood, because it was almost two quarters, and he hadn't seen this rookie make any excessive moves, so he shouldn't elbow him, right?
When Li Ba saw it, he laughed, is this going to fuck him?
"Hammer, don't foul easily!" Frank shouted from the sidelines.
Li Ba didn't have time to answer, because Rahim was asking for a seat.
Rahim was born in Muslin's family. He has a very good personality and has no bad habits or violent habits, but this is also the reason why he cannot become the real boss in the Eagles.
He is a technical power forward with strong offense and weak defense. Of course, he is talented, but he also has flaws. His speed is not very fast, his body is relatively not strong, and his style of play is relatively soft.
Because of his relatively slow speed, he can't play small forward, he can only play power forward.
As for the position of power forward, because of his weak style of play, he must be equipped with a fierce defensive center to help him do the dirty work. The reason for the starting center.
Another point is that Raheem is at the power forward position, and basically relies on picking up rebounds instead of grabbing them. This is why the Eagles need a defensive center.
In terms of technology, Raheem has a good mid-range shot and three-pointers, but in the paint, he also has a unique low-post turn shot, and he has a strong scoring ability in the paint.
And, he likes dunking very much. His bounce is not high enough, similar to that of Li Ba, but his pace is one of the best among the four positions in the active NBA.
In general, although Raheem belonged to the golden pick in 1996, his reputation was not big enough. One of the important points is that he did not enter the playoffs.
If you haven't played in the more defensive playoffs, you won't be recognized. This is the rule of the NBA.
Now that the soft-playing Golden Tanhua is seeking a position next to Li Ba, what will happen?
"Sharif, use your stunt to kill him!" Hawks small forward Wu Sheng Jackson shouted.
"Ah!"
Li Ba smiled at Jackson's canthus.
What the hell, I haven't settled with you yet!
"Sharif, do as the coach said before the game." Terry shouted hastily.
"What the hell, you're using me as mud, right? You can hit him however you want?" Li Ba got a little angry.
Rahim didn't care what other people shouted, and he didn't fight Li Ba hard, that was not his style, but he used his steps to move around Li Ba.
He's not quick, which is his weakness and why he can't play small forward, but he moves really well in the paint.
Its characteristic is not that it is fast, but that it is very flexible. After turning around a few times, Li Ba became a little dizzy and couldn't keep up with his feet.
After finding that Li Ba couldn't keep up, Rahim entered the paint area and immediately asked for the ball, and successfully received the ball.
He is not far away from Li Ba, because his purpose is to make Li Ba's foul.
When he received the ball, Li Ba followed and blocked Rahim from the basket.
The little overlord on the left wing was tightly entangled by Ratliff, unable to get through, unable to form a double-team, and a one-on-one match between Li Ba and Raheem was formed under the basket.
Raheem caught the ball with his back. The moment he caught the ball, he felt Li Ba sticking to his back.
He immediately turned around continuously, shaking Li Ba's head so hard that he couldn't turn his head, and suddenly jumped up against Li Ba's body.
But he didn't turn around and throw the shot, because the shot was far away from Li Ba, and he was worried that it wouldn't cause Li Ba's foul, but he made a shooting action on Li Ba's head.
"Don't stretch out your hands indiscriminately, don't eat and shake..."
This is what coach Liu Baile of Li Ba's university team scolded him and scolded him the most.
Raheem made a shooting action next to him, and he didn't make the best throw, so he knew what Raheem was going to do.
Because he jumped up and shot next to him, and Rahim's own jumping ability is not good, so the height of this shot is very low.
Moreover, in order to attract him to make moves, Raheem's shooting movements are not fast.
Li Ba didn't take off to block the shot at the first time, but when Rahim's ball was shot, he suddenly took a step back and turned around. At the moment he faced the basket, he suddenly took off and rushed to the backboard. Go in time.
This action is a kind of rear side training in his fly catching training, which belongs to the fly catching training action after moving one step.
At present, his success rate of catching flies from the back side is not high, 19%, which is much lower than other directions, but this is not a fly catching mosquito, but a ball countless times bigger than a fly and a mosquito.
Also, his wingspan is integral to making this move.
"Snapped!"
Like countless flies killed by Li Ba, the ball was caught on the way up.
The moment Li Ba jumped up, Marbury jumped to zero, and quickly turned around and jumped down.
The referee pointed to the Suns' frontcourt, indicating that the steal was valid.
"Block? No, this is a high-altitude steal! This is an extremely beautiful aerial operation!" The Suns commentator roared excitedly.
"Fast attack!"
The audience chanted again, countless people stood up, their eyes moved back and forth between Li Ba under the basket and Marbury who was about to get off.
"Whoosh!"
Li Ba dunked the ball firmly in his right palm, swung it forward vigorously, passed the ball in a straight line, and smashed the ball to Marbury.
"boom!"
Terry, who recently returned to defense, was still three meters behind him, but Marbury missed a layup.
"Fuck!" Li Ba cursed with fire in his eyes.
Marbury hurriedly stopped and turned around, grabbed the ball before Terry, and passed it back to Marion who was following him.
"boom!"
Marion flew up and smashed the basket with one arm.
45:32, the Suns are still 13 points behind at home.
"Old Ma, didn't you bring paper with you today?" Li Ba yelled under the basket of the Eagles.
Marbury spread his hands, looking helpless.
"Haha!" There was a burst of laughter in the arena.
