Chapter 966 There Is No One Available!
At this time, Kobe passed the ball and made a cross.
On the left wing, James used his tyrannical strength to crush the Arab League and rush to the paint area. At this time, the ball came.
Li Ba turned around, and at this time Howard made a key offensive screen and stood behind him.
But Li Ba had already "saw" Howard coming up, so when he turned around, he went directly downwards around Howard and rushed towards the basket.
James held the ball in his right hand and carried Allen on the left with his left hand, rushing towards the basket. At this time, he saw Li Ba returning to defense. He was shocked at the same time. He pushed forward with his right hand and passed the ball to Howard, who had just turned around.
But at this moment, Li Ba moved upward very quickly, stretched out his left arm, and instantly cut into the passing line and intercepted the ball.
"Beautiful! This defense is so beautiful!" Xu Shiji shouted excitedly.
The US team retreated quickly and Li Ba advanced with the ball.
This time the US team has arranged for James to guard him.
"Rookie, come here and steal my ball, let me see how much you have grown." Li Ba was used to it, and started talking trash.
"If you dare, jump on me." James spat back.
He doesn't steal easily. If the steal fails, he won't be able to catch up with the Hammer's speed. Without him, there will be no one on the outside of the US team to defend the Hammer. Then Howard will directly face the Hammer. A powerful impact, and once Howard, who committed two fouls, was knocked off the field by the hammer, wouldn't the US team's inside line collapse directly?
So his defensive strategy is to prevent the hammer from rushing, not to steal.
Li Ba crossed the center line and signaled to pull away. He wanted to play singles.
"Don't pass the ball this time, Hammer, come and beat me alone." After pressing forward, James provoked.
"Silly bird, basketball is played by five people." Li Ba spat back.
"Don't you dare to fight me alone?" James spat.
The Arab League faced Howard. He was on the right wing, and Howard was standing on the right side of the paint area, but he did not dare to follow him out, so he was actually in an open position and asked Li Ba for the ball.
"I……"
Li Ba opened his mouth and uttered a word, suddenly started, and took a step past James. When he rushed to the top of the arc, he passed the ball to the Arab League.
At this time, Howard reacted quickly and pounced on Arab League.
Ah Lian softened his hand, did not make a move, and passed the ball back to Li Ba.
"Why don't you vote?" Yu Jia shouted.
But Li Ba passed the ball and rushed into the US team's penalty area.
Howard returned to the front of the basket, but Li Ba's powerful impact immediately pushed him back to the basket to reduce the defensive area.
The FIBA Central Bureau meeting held in Beijing this year has determined that a reasonable collision zone will be added in 2010, but there is no such rule now.
Therefore, when attacking under the basket, as long as Howard stands still and Li Ba collides with him, it will be an offensive foul.
However, if he stands still and does not retreat, Li Ba can bypass him and directly attack the basket as long as he changes direction.
And he knew that Li Ba definitely had the ability to change direction, so he could only choose to retreat to the basket and give up the opportunity to cause Li Ba an offensive foul.
Facing Howard under the basket, Li Ba held the ball in his right hand and jumped up with a cold expression. The former also jumped up to block the shot.
The moment he hit the basket, Li Ba twisted his waist and abdomen and moved his right arm to hit it downwards.
Snap, his right forearm actively hit Howard's raised left hand, and then he continued to hit it, and with a bang, he hit the ball into the basket.
James caught up from behind to block the shot, but the shot was empty. Li Ba knew his position clearly and could not give him a chance to back the shot. He did not pull his right arm back when he hit the basket.
Tee, the moment the ball was scored, the referee blew the whistle, Howard's thug fouled, and Li Ba added a free throw.
"yeah!"
Such a powerful dunk hit the basket, making the whole audience cheer.
"Beautiful! Two plus one, just like Dayao, Warcraft is guilty of three offenses. Prepare to be punished." Yu Jia roared excitedly.
"He's off the court. Who will play center for the U.S. team? Bosh? With his size, the hammer can hit him directly under the basket and turn him into a slag!"
Zhang Lili laughed.
"No one is available!"
Coach K scratched his head. There was no one inside, and he had a headache.
Duncan did not sign up this time, neither did O'Neal, nor did Garnett. These are the three domestic insiders who can compete with the Hammers and Yao, and it will be useless if others come.
Before the free throw, he replaced Howard and replaced him with Anthony.
Not only that, he also replaced Paul and replaced him with Boozer.
He put James as the point guard and let him face off directly with the Hammers.
Since there is no center, he plays positionless basketball proposed by Pat Riley.
Five players who are over two meters tall can all attack with the ball, pass the ball, and defend. They have unlimited defense changes and strong offensive and defensive conversion capabilities. This is positionless basketball.
Pat Riley's idea is practical. When he coached the Magic Magic during the Lakers Show Time era, he had a similar basketball concept.
In this way, the American lineup is James, Bosh, Boozer, Anthony, and Kobe.
Kobe's height is slightly lower, but his offensive ability can make up for it.
These five people all have the ability to attack with the ball, and they are very strong.
All five can pass the ball.
In terms of speed, Boozer is a little slower, which affects the speed of transition between offense and defense, but there is no problem against the Chinese team.
Defensively, Boozer and Anthony are also weaknesses.
Old K made some calculations. These five people have weaknesses, but they can still play positionless basketball.
"Tell everyone, one person attacks, four people go in to limit the hammer, and you must control the rebounds." When Anthony came on the court, he warned.
Yunus reacted slowly and did not make a substitution in time.
At this time, Li Ba scored a free throw. At 47:53, the Chinese team led by 6 points.
Team USA attacks.
James controls the ball and advances quickly.
Li Ba did not force James in the backcourt, because once the latter passed the ball, the US team's offense bypassed his point, and the entire Chinese team's defense was likely to lose control.
Li Ba retreated directly to the basket, and Alian faced James.
At this time, except for the point guard James, the other four members of the American team rushed into the penalty area. In addition, the Chinese team followed and defended the people who came in, and the penalty area was filled with eight people.
"This is still the Lakers' tactic. Can the famous old coach K have some tricks of his own?" Yu Jia complained.
"Just use it if it's easy. This tactic really has a great impact on the Hammers' defense." Zhang Lili sighed.
James pushed the Arab League forward to the top of the arc. At this time, Kobe, who was in the high position, suddenly retreated to the top of the arc. The former passed the ball, the latter received the ball, and under the cover of the former, he shot a three-pointer.
Brush, hit a three-pointer.
54:57, the US team is still 3 points behind.
The Chinese team attacks.
Li Ba controlled the ball and advanced, but James still defended and retreated, preventing the former from rushing forward.
Advancing to the top arc, Li Ba waved inside, and Ah Lian ran out from the basket.
"Pick-and-roll tactics." Zhang Lili shouted.
It is Bosh who defends the Arab League.
