Chapter 959 Taking Off From the Free Throw Line

"Victory! Victory! Victory..."

The shouts of eighteen thousand people shook the five pines like a tsunami, and then began to expand outwards, sweeping everything.

"Victory! Victory! Victory..."

Outside Wukesong, countless people started shouting, and then continued to sweep outward throughout the entire Haidian District.

Under this huge home atmosphere, the American team is under great pressure.

Especially, after a year, when the American players heard Li Ba's morale-boosting voice again, they all felt like the nightmare was coming again.

The game started, Li Ba and Howard jumped the ball.

This was Li Ba's first game in a year. He was very excited and highly concentrated. He defeated the super-quality Warcraft and the Chinese team attacked.

Li Ba went to the basket and Dayao stayed in the high post.

Howard defended Li Ba and actually adopted a forward defense.

It's not Anthony who defends Yao, but James. This is because LeBron James' defense is several levels better than Anthony's.

In the backcourt, Sun Le advanced with the ball, Wang Shipeng responded from the side, and Arab League responded from the front.

In the frontcourt, Ah Lian went to the left wing, Wang Shipeng went to the right wing, Sun Le was at the top of the arc, and the three of them opened up at the three-point line.

Sun Le made a tactical gesture and then handed the ball to Dayao.

Dayao was very cautious against LeBron James.

The two of them were opponents in the finals and knew each other very well.

Thanks to the help of fly-catching training, James' defense is really strong now. When Dayao thought of this, he wanted to scold Li Ba for being an enemy.

At this time, Li Ba moved to the low position on the left wing, suddenly turned around and rushed into the paint area.

Howard reacted quickly and immediately turned around to follow up.

Li Ba felt that this beast had made great progress. Two years of fly-catching training had made him really focused and his reactions faster. His turns and first steps were improved compared to a year ago. He actually managed to keep up with him.

At this time, Li Ba suddenly stopped suddenly, Howard rushed over, and the latter quickly stopped and turned around.

At this time, Dayao passed the ball, and Li Ba received the ball with his right hand. He held Howard with his left hand, who had just turned around. He made a straight-arm hook and flicked his wrist to hook the ball toward the basket.

"Can it go in? It went in! The hammer's straight-arm hook hit the net hollowly, and the ball went in!" Yu Jia asked first, and then shouted excitedly.

Howard was a little disappointed. Li Ba shot too quickly. He just turned around and didn't have time to take off. He had no chance to show Li Ba his shot-blocking ability.

Team USA attacks.

Li Ba returned to defense and shouted at his teammates: "Defend with all your strength! Don't let the opponent take easy shots from the outside, keep up with your feet!"

His voice not only made his teammates nervous, but also made his opponents nervous.

Even his opponents are more familiar with him than his national team teammates, and have suffered more under him. The stronger they have suffered, the more they have suffered, so they are even more nervous.

On the offensive end of the US team, after Howard entered the basket, the other three players all opened up.

LeBron James is at 45 degrees from the three-point line on the left wing, Anthony is in the left corner, and Kobe owns the entire right wing.

Sun Le followed Anthony, UAE faced James, Wang Shipeng faced Kobe, and Li Ba defended Howard at the basket.

At the top of the arc, Dayao waited for Kidd to approach.

"The American team is just like us, one is inside and four are outside." Yu Jia shouted.

At this time, Zhang Lili exclaimed: "Who are Dayao and Sun Le?"

Yu Jia and Xu Jicheng also discovered it and shouted: "What is this?"

Not only were they confused, everyone in the audience was also confused. If Dayao was to switch to guard Kidd, wouldn't this cost his life?

Even the American team was confused and didn’t know what the Chinese team was up to.

Kidd was also stunned. At this time, he was close to the top of the arc.

"Stick him!"

At this moment, Li Ba's voice sounded from behind Dayao.

Dayao responded and took a big step, blocking Kidd two meters away from the top of the arc.

In this position, Kidd has almost no possibility of shooting a three-pointer, as the range is too far.

Similarly, with Yao's height and huge body, Kidd's view to the basket was completely blocked.

At this moment, Li Ba started. Under the cover of Dayao, he took a step from the free throw line and rushed to the top of the key.

When assisting with defense on the outside, his first target is to double-team the top of the arc, and his second target is to double-team Kobe who is catching the ball.

Why did Kidd pass to Kobe on the right? This is because Kobe faced the least defensive pressure. Although it is not certain, the probability of passing to him is the highest.

James faced off against UAE, who has already established himself as a defensive champion in the league.

Anthony faced off against Sun Yue, who was also a second-round pick by the Lakers.

Only Wang Shipeng, Kobe's opponent, is not famous.

So choosing from defensive players will pass to Kobe.

Conversely, in terms of offensive ability, the first choice is also the new FMVP Kobe Bryant, the most popular superstar of the US team.

Li Ba's quick start and first step forward made LeBron James, who had been paying attention to him, shrink his eyes.

"I haven't played for a year, and it's actually faster!" He was so surprised.

Kidd was pressed against Yao, and his first reaction was to go around.

He chose to go around from the right side, because his right hand is his dominant hand. Now the ball is on the right side and he can complete the breakthrough in the fastest time.

At this time, Dayao's huge body came into play. Kidd was able to break through the point guard in one step, but against Dayao, both steps were a bit difficult.

When he broke through Dayao from the right, Li Ba happened to be in place to help block him.

Kidd didn't react to the sudden double-team. When dribbling, the ball was grabbed directly from the floor by Li Ba.

"Beautiful! The hammer intercepted the ball! He's about to go down!" Yu Jia shouted.

He hadn't watched Li Ba play for a year, and he was very excited.

James had been paying attention to Li Ba. When he saw him helping to defend the top of the arc, he felt something was wrong. When the steal occurred, he was the most prepared and immediately returned to defense with all his strength, desperately moving closer to the center.

Li Ba took advantage of the situation and ran down quickly. After running two steps, he smashed the ball forward. It hit the ball directly one step in front of the center line and bounced forward.

Li Ba took three more steps, moved his left hand, and grabbed the ball back at the top of the arc.

"Why so fast?"

At this time, James, who was desperately trying to defend, came over from the right wing, but was still one step behind and failed to catch up.

Li Ba strode into the top of the arc, one step on the edge of the free throw circle, and another step on the free throw line.

From the top of the arc to here, in a fifteen-meter charge, his speed has completely increased. His explosive power and speed are stronger now than when he retired, and his impact is also more powerful.

Such a powerful impact made him unable to control it. He had no strength to press himself on the earth anymore. The powerful impact caused him to lose his grip. As his feet kicked back violently, he was He flew directly from the free throw line, just like a plane gliding across the end of the runway, he soared into the sky.

At this moment, everyone around the world watching this game opened their mouths wide at this moment.
