Chapter 963 Serving as Point Guard

Kobe reacted very quickly. When Sun Le was almost inferred, he immediately pounced on him and implemented a double-team. When Sun Le lifted the ball, his double-team was in place.

"here!"

Wang Shipeng, who was let go by Kobe, quickly went back to get the ball.

At this moment, Kobe was fully focused and prepared to steal.

The next moment, Sun Le passed the ball.

Almost at the same time, Kobe jumped to steal the ball and grabbed the ball directly.

"Tie Hammer, you did a good job!" shouted Dayao from a high position.

In the low post, Li Ba said he was helpless. Kobe's defensive ability has improved just like James.

"boom!"

At this time, Kobe dunked again. He scored 4 points in a row and tied the game at 8 for the US team.

"He hasn't improved. Maybe you still can't win the Cavaliers and won't get a championship ring. Why don't you thank me?" Li Ba complained.

"I'd rather not have that ring!"

Dayao turned around and said angrily, he said to Li Ba: "I don't care, you come to deal with their backcourt pressing."

"Oops, the back line is lagging behind!" Yu Jia sighed in frustration.

"Kobe and James' defense is pretty good, especially Kobe, who often plays defense, but their defense has gotten even better since last season. For this reason, haha, the Hammers thought they were not strong enough, so they trained them personally. So, now let’s see what the hammer will do.” Zhang Li said with a smile.

Yu Jia nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "That's right, you have to deal with the evil done by the hammer yourself."

At this time, the Chinese team served and Yunus called a timeout.

Everyone sat on the bench, a little nervous after the continuous mistakes.

Especially Sun Le, who finally got into the starting lineup, made two consecutive mistakes, both of which cost his opponent.

Yunus looked at Li Ba and said: "Iron Hammer, the guard combination of Kidd and Kobe is too strong. All our guards should be about the same. Now you need to do it yourself."

Li Ba nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me."

No one asked much because the back line was too weak. This was the tactic formulated by the national team, with Li Ba controlling the ball in the frontcourt.

Both he and Dayao can play organizational centers, and the team actually doesn't need a real point guard.

Yunus did not replace Sun Le and said to him: "Your task now is to defend Kidd with all your strength and prevent his passing. Pay attention, when the Hammers assist in defense, there will be gaps. You must Guard the passing lanes under the basket.”

"I know." Sun Le nodded repeatedly.

Sun Le was not replaced, but Dayao was replaced.

This is also a tactical requirement. Sun Le's defense is still used. If he defends Kidd, he does not need Li Ba's assistance. Then when he returns to the basket, there must be someone else on the outside, and Dayao cannot guard him. It's on the outside, so he has to go down and replace someone who can guard the outside.

This person is Zhu Fangyu, who has three-pointers, can stretch, and can defend, which is just right.

In this way, Zhu Fangyu plays against Anthony, UAE plays against James, Sun Le plays against Kidd, Wang Shipeng plays against Kobe, and Li Ba plays against Howard.

The timeout ends and the game resumes.

"Yao Yao is not on the court, but the Hammers are there. There is no problem in defending the penalty area, but the offensive firepower is a little weaker." Zhang He said understandingly.

"Oh, Hammer is catching the ball in the backcourt and advancing, is he playing point guard?" Xu Jicheng said in surprise.

Yu Jia laughed and said: "He has no problem playing point guard."

At this time, Kidd was a little confused. Li Ba advanced with the ball. Who was facing him, or him? But there is Sun Le beside him.

At this time, Howard had already gone to the frontcourt, and Anthony had also gone to the frontcourt. Kobe and James in the backcourt saw the situation and there were people around them, so they hesitated.

After this hesitation, Li Ba, who had no defender, advanced directly and quickly.

He dribbled the ball once and advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt. His speed and momentum could be described as a meteor, and huge cheers rang out from the scene.

When he arrived in the frontcourt, Howard had just arrived in the paint area. He turned around and saw Li Ba holding the ball. This was the player he was guarding. Subconsciously, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Li Ba.

Li Ba saw Howard leaving the paint area. Just as he was slowing down, he suddenly accelerated and changed direction, bypassing the latter and entering the paint area from the left elbow area.

It was hopeless at this moment. James was already one step too late when he came to defend from the wing. Li Ba reached the basket with the ball, flew up, and hit a one-arm dunk. With a bang, he hit the U.S. team's goalkeeper. basket.

At 8:10, the Chinese team took the lead again.

"One dragon dunks, beautiful!" Yu Jia roared excitedly.

"Return to defense!"

As soon as Li Ba landed, he immediately turned around and returned to defense, while yelling to remind his teammates.

With Dayao's dismissal, the Chinese team's height on the field dropped, but the U.S. team's height was not high, so the height was not compromised, and the speed increased, so the speed of returning to defense was faster.

This time Anthony served and the other four rushed forward at full speed.

Li Ba and James are advancing side by side, and neither can throw away the other, but Li Ba is now more explosive, and his absolute strength is even better, so with his strength, when he reaches the frontcourt, through his body The latter was squeezed away, and then suppressed behind him, completing the defense in the fast break.

James, who had the greatest impact, was defended, but there was also Kobe Bryant on the left wing, and Howard, the monster who rushed over with James, Li Ba's defense was not yet complete.

At this time, Kobe cut into the wing from the left wing. He widened the distance between him and Wang Shipeng, and there was an opening.

Anthony passed the ball over, and his passing ability was not good. It was too high. Kobe jumped when he received the ball, which slowed down his cutting speed and gave Li Ba a chance to defend.

Li Ba pounced on Kobe with all his strength, took the lead in the paint, and blocked the latter.

Kobe made an emergency stop, pulled the basketball back, then instantly jumped up and shot a fadeaway jumper.

The two faced off for the first time a year later.

This ball would kill Kobe even if he couldn't pass it.

Li Ba knew that Kobe would do this. He knew that Kobe would definitely lean back, because no one dared to shoot a jumper directly in front of him without leaning back. That would be looking for a shot.

So at this moment, he flew up and covered Kobe's body from the air. With a move of his right hand, he grabbed the basketball that he had just released.

"yeah!"

The extremely beautiful block instantly excited the audience. Amidst the boiling cheers, countless palms began to shake.

These fans at the scene had a great time this time, because in the past they could only watch the Suns fans do this action, and now it was finally their turn, so they shook their palms particularly actively.

The two landed, and Kobe took two steps back, sat down directly on the floor, and slid back two meters.

Li Ba staggered forward, smashed the ball out with a movement of his hand, then sped over and grabbed the ball back.

This avoids walking and starts the fast descent with ease.
