Chapter 1018 Xiaoniu Is Too Shameless
The Mavericks attacked again.
This time Li Ba did not press, and let Kidd receive the ball and advance to the frontcourt.
At this time, Nowitzki suddenly pulled out from the right wing.
Li Ba "saw" this scene, and he immediately moved half a step to the right wing intentionally, and let go of Kidd and the right wing's passing line.
Kidd was quick and quick, and after pulling the ball off the floor, he pushed it with one hand and passed it to the right wing.
As soon as he pushed it with one hand, Li Ba turned around and rushed to the right wing.
After turning around, he landed on the first step, and he saw Nowitzki receiving the ball, and the latter also saw his double-teaming action.
On the second step, he landed, and he intentionally cut into the passing line between Nowitzki and Kidd.
At this time, Hill defended in front of Nowitzki, and the latter chose to pass back to the top of the arc, but Li Ba was on the line, so he could only hang over.
Li Ba turned around instantly, and the first step landed, and the ball flew over his head. The second step landed, Kidd received the ball and jumped, and then he also jumped up.
"Snap!"
Li Ba stretched out his left arm and grabbed the ball with one hand.
The moment he landed, he threw the ball behind Kidd, then turned and ran down.
Kidd wanted to chase him, but Li Ba, who rushed over, pressed him and stopped him.
Li Ba grabbed the ball back at the midline, rushed two steps, dribbled again, and then rushed into the paint area. With a bang, he dunked with one arm, and the Mavericks' basket exploded again.
"The 7th block!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
Zhang Heli laughed and said, "The defense of Tiechui gave Kidd space to shoot continuously, and he finally got a chance to block the shot. It was not easy!"
Xu Jicheng laughed and said, "102:80, the Suns led by 22 points. This score difference is something no one expected, right? The Suns played fast break very well today, and the offensive efficiency was very high. If they played like this against the Lakers that day, they should not lose, right?"
Zhang Heli laughed and said, "Yes, the Lakers' inside line is slower than the Mavericks, but I don't know what happened that day. The Suns didn't play any fast break tactics, and it was a pity to lose."
The Mavericks called a timeout and interrupted the Suns' offense. After the timeout, the Mavericks continued to attack.
Kidd came to the top of the arc again. He glanced at Li Ba, who stepped back and said to him, "Jason, do you dare to shoot again?"
"Tiechui, if you are crazy again, I will apply to leave the court." He sprayed back.
Li Ba was stunned. Can trash talk still be sprayed like this?
At this time, Kidd took the opportunity to shoot and hit a three-pointer.
"Damn, it turns out that none of these old foxes are good!" Li Ba cursed angrily.
While cursing, he rushed to the front court, raised his right hand and shook it continuously, signaling his teammates in the low position to quickly send the ball.
Alian saw the opportunity under the basket, stepped back to the baseline after receiving the ball, and swung the ball to Li Ba with one hand.
"Bang!"
Li Ba hit the basket again.
The Suns scored, and the Mavericks were still confused.
Xu Jicheng said in surprise: "Iron Hammer hits the point guard and directly launches a fast break from the top of the arc from the outside. This, this distance is too close, isn't this too easy?"
"This kind of fast break is really impossible to defend! No one can defend it! Unless LeBron James is in the position, the general point guard has speed but no strength and height, how can he defend his fast break from the top of the arc?" Zhang Heli shouted excitedly.
"With this tactic, why didn't the Suns let Iron Hammer play the point guard when playing against the Lakers? When he plays the point guard, when the offense and defense switch, Duncan and Dayao will definitely be left behind in the first half of the court and can't participate in defense at all. Can Parker defend Iron Hammer's outside fast break? He will be hit to death. The Suns don't win too easily!" Yu Jia said excitedly.
"But then again, there are pros and cons to using a hammer to play against a point guard. The con is that the defense's control over the paint area is weakened, and he has no outside shooting and cannot pull the basket. The advantage is that the offense and switch are too fast, and few point guards on the team can defend his outside fast break, which can greatly improve the offensive efficiency." Zhang He understood.
On the sidelines, the young general Johnson was scratching his head. What should he do? He had no way to defend Li Ba's outside fast break tactics.
The only way is to use the point guard's breakthrough to bring Li Ba in and not let him stay on the outside.
However, at Kidd's current age, it is difficult for him to break through.
And Kidd is not the kind of point guard who can break through and score, which is Nash's strength.
Unfortunately, during the offseason, the owner sought the possibility of trading Nash, but the Knicks refused. Without Nash, the Knicks would have nothing, and now they rely on Nash to sell tickets.
The Mavericks attacked, called a timeout, and replaced Jason Kidd with Jason Terry.
Johnson asked Terry to break in and play the breakthrough and pass tactics, and at the same time pulled Li Ba in from the outside, so that he lost the opportunity to play a fast break directly from the outside.
The timeout ended and the Mavericks continued to attack.
Terry was holding the ball and preparing to pass through the center line, but Li Ba blocked the former by moving sideways quickly, preventing him from passing.
The point guard could not advance smoothly, and the time was about to run out, and the other Mavericks came out to respond immediately.
At this time, Li Ba "saw" someone on the left wing pulling out, and Terry's eyes were fixed on him, which was ready to pass the ball to the left wing.
But at the same time, he "saw" someone on the right wing moving out.
The next moment, he "saw" Terry's ball hidden behind him.
So, he started the first step from the front, and while rushing forward, his left hand moved, and accurately caught the ball that Terry passed from behind to the right wing.
"Steal! Double steals, quadruple-double completed!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
"The outside defense of the hammer is too strong!" Zhang Heli shouted excitedly.
"Another dunk!" Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.
Li Ba rushed down from the center line and rushed into the paint area in a few steps. The Mavericks were helpless and could only watch their own basket being smashed again.
General Johnson began to plan to replace the main players. Anyway, this game was already lost.
The Mavericks attacked, and he really called a timeout again.
The Mavericks fans didn't understand the continuous timeouts. There was a lot of time left. You called all the timeouts long ago. Didn't you call all the timeouts?
But they understood immediately. When they saw General Johnson calling the substitute players, they knew that he gave up the game.
But they were also relieved and didn't have to worry about the team getting a five-double.
"The Mavericks are too shameless. Seeing that the hammer was about to be brushed... about to hit a five-double, they replaced the main players. Can they have some ambition? No wonder they have been suppressed in the West for the past few years and can't get ahead." Yu Jia said angrily.
Zhang Heli nodded and said, "The Mavericks lack the willpower to do whatever it takes. They should learn from the Spurs. Look at the Spurs. They had two quintuple-doubles. They were doomed to lose those two games, but they just stood firm. What if you can get a quintuple-double? I just won't admit defeat. I won't admit defeat. I really admire Popovich for this."
How could he know that the first quintuple-double the Spurs got was forced by Duncan. Popovich didn't want him to go up at all.
In any case, the Mavericks admitted defeat, and Li Ba was embarrassed to force another quintuple-double on the Mavericks.
Seeing that he didn't get up again, the whole audience breathed a sigh of relief.
