Chapter 892 Eric, Are You Okay?

At this time, Li Ba turned outside the paint area, suddenly ran back, left Dampier behind, and rushed back into the paint area.

At this time, Rondo suddenly retreated, jumped and passed with both hands, and smashed the ball in.

"Oops!"

Terry failed to follow up and the ball passed over his head. He quickly turned around and returned to defend the basket.

At the same time, Stoudemire in the right short corner also quickly returned to defend the basket.

Now everyone knows that Li Ba has no shooting ability and only needs to retreat directly to the basket. Therefore, Dampier's follow-up defense is also very fast. As soon as Li Ba moves, he directly retreats to the basket without thinking about it.

But no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than Li Ba.

When Stoudemire leaves the paint, as long as Rondo's pass is correct, timely and accurate, no matter how Dampier defends, he will not be able to catch up with Li Ba when there is a three-second defensive violation.

Li Ba took a step into the paint area. When the ball arrived, he jumped up to catch the ball. As he flew towards the basket, he held the ball with both arms and smashed it forward.

With a bang, the Mavericks basket exploded.

Dallas offense.

Pat Riley's crowd-heavy tactic under the basket was still used. Dampier and Stoudemire both entered the basket, attracting Li Ba and Marion, and then deliberately blocked Li Ba, affecting his movement, thus limiting his Defense.

"On the inside, pay attention to the pick-and-roll during the transition between offense and defense, and on the outside, pay attention to returning to defense in time!" Junior General Johnson shouted loudly on the sidelines.

At this time the Mavericks' offense began.

The Mavericks' lineup is half stretched.

The two insiders are active under the basket. Nowitzki and Josh Howard are both close to the three-point range. With Terry, the three outside positions are far apart, which is not conducive to the Suns' assist defense and double-teaming. Form singles.

Nowitzki relied on singles in the game and directly defeated Battier.

Moreover, Terry and Howard were on the offensive end today. General Johnson specifically asked them to reduce breakthroughs and play outside. This way, when the offense and defense transition, they can return to the defense in time to prevent the Suns from using outside fast break tactics.

Half a step inside the three-point line, Nowitzki leaned on Battier to catch the ball and started playing from behind.

But in the next moment, he suddenly turned around, took a step away with his left foot, jumped up, and lifted his right leg up to prevent Battier from getting closer, and at the same time, he shot a three-pointer.

"The ugliest shooting posture!" Li Ba complained after seeing Nowitzki's actions.

At this time, the offense and defense transitioned. Terry and Howard on the outside immediately turned around and returned to defense. Nowitzki did the same, trying his best to return to defense.

The two major insiders also have a clear division of labor.

Dampier, who was slow in speed and pace, immediately returned to defense, while Stoudemire, who was fast in movement and pace, stopped Li Ba from going down quickly.

Kenny Smith said at this time: "From now on, Stoudemire is also one of the people who can defend the Hammers' fast break. Although he is a power forward, he is really fast. It's just a pity that he is too fragile!"

Barkley continued: "Whether it's the Mavericks, the Grizzlies, the Nuggets or the Heat, their overall speed is stronger than the Lakers, who have the most luxurious lineup. What I want to say is that the Suns' outside fast break tactics cannot beat these four goals. Team.

The Lakers have now made up for this. With the addition of Parker, the Lakers have truly become a five-star team, and the Suns are in some difficulty. "

As the Mavericks quickly returned to defense, the Suns did not play a fast break, but steadily advanced.

Zhang Lili said at this time: "It seems that the Suns have given up on fast break tactics. Stoudemire's mobility can indeed prevent the Hammers from going down quickly. The outside line is not slower than the Suns. How will the Suns play today?"

Yu Jia said: "In the first game, Stoudemire didn't come on the bench, so he went on a fast break and beat the Mavericks. In the last game, when Stoudemire started, the Suns didn't play a fast break and lost. In this game, if there is no outside line, The crosshair is a bit difficult.”

Li Ba came to the frontcourt, and his teammates pulled away according to tactics and asked him to play Dampier alone.

Under Stoudemire's cover, Dampier had already returned to the basket, waiting for Li Ba.

Li Ba ran to the top of the key and passed by Rondo and Terry. He pointed toward the basket and shouted to Rondo:

"Rajan."

At this moment, he suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the paint area.

Seeing Li Ba's accelerating action, Rondo's body trembled, and he instinctively took a step back to distance himself from Terry. Then he pushed forward with both hands and hoisted the ball in.

This lob does not have a rim, but is lobbed two meters in front of the basket.

This was Rondo's instinctive choice, because he saw that Dampier was just outside the reasonable collision area, hanging towards the basket, and would be intercepted by Dampier.

This lob cannot be an alley-oop, but it is safe.

Boom, Li Ba stepped onto the free throw line.

Bang, another step, he faced Dampier under the basket and rushed into the paint area.

Under the basket, in front of the reasonable collision area, Dampier saw Li Ba's extremely strong rush to the basket and instinctively wanted to retreat, but he did not dare to retreat.

Because once he retreated to the reasonable collision zone, his defense became passive.

And as long as he stands here and Li Ba hits him, he can cause an offensive foul.

At this time, the ball flew over Li Ba's head, slid from the top, and slid in front of Dampier.

Dampier finally couldn't help it anymore, jumped forward half a step, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and wanted to steal the ball.

At this moment, Li Ba fell down, jumped up, and rushed towards Dampier crazily.

He was faster, his arms were longer, his hands were bigger, he grabbed the ball with his right hand before Dampier, and then...

"Bang!"

Li Ba collided with Dampier with extremely fierce momentum, and the powerful impact instantly knocked the latter away.

With a bang, Dampier fell heavily to the floor.

At the same time, Li Ba also landed from the air, put his left foot back and stood firm.

"oh!"

There was a loud exclamation at the American Airlines Center.

The whistle didn't sound.

In the opinion of the referee, this is a normal collision when grabbing the ball. Both of them are moving and there is no cylinder space. Now it is beneficial to the attacker, so the game continues.

As soon as Li Ba stood firm, he started up again. In front of him was Dampier's leg. He didn't step over it. As soon as Dampier raised his leg, he would be in danger. He made a small step, and directly rose up and flew towards The basket is 1.5 meters away.

Although the distance was more than one meter, his arms were just over eighty centimeters, which was enough.

With a bang, a one-arm dunk, Li Ba smashed the ball into the basket.

"The hammer will hit you really hard! It will knock you over and you just can't stop it!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Eric, how are you?" Nowitzki ran over and pulled up Dampier.

"fine!"

Dampier's breathing was heavy. Li Ba was beside him at this moment, but he didn't look at him. He deliberately avoided Li Ba.

Dallas offense.

"Sean, you go guard Nowitzki."

When Li Ba returned to defense, he shouted to Marion and then said to Battier: "Sean, you go and double-team the ball carrier."

Then he shouted to Rondo: Rajon, stick to him after halftime. "

Finally, he shouted to everyone: "Brothers, from now on, we will play half-court press."

"Yes, boss." The generals of the Sun responded one after another.

"Be careful, Josh and Dirk pay attention to Jason and speed up the transfer of the ball!" the young general immediately shouted towards the court.

As a result, as soon as the Mavericks' ball was released, the situation on the court suddenly became tight.

"Ouch, are the Suns going to use a pressing tactic now?" Zhang Lili said in surprise.

"When the ball holder is double-teamed, will the Mavericks give up the blocking tactics at the basket? However, Stoudemire's current shooting is not good enough, and the transformation is not in time, so pulling out will not be of much use." Yu Jiada said.
