Chapter 1179 Give Lifen
The second half started, and the Bulls attacked.
Rose went crazy and broke through with the ball again.
Ray Allen and Ginobili from the Suns’ perimeter, plus Nash’s three-man defense, still let him break through.
But Li Ba took the initiative to attack and defend, and when Rose finally broke through Ginobili and lost his observation of Li Ba, he forced Rose to stop, causing him to lose control of the ball, and then stole the ball from him.
The Suns counterattacked, and Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, bringing the score back to double digits.
Looking back, Rose still rushed to the paint with the ball.
With the same defensive method, Li Ba stole the ball from Rose again.
Zhang Heli said: "This is the defense of the Hammer, taking advantage of every opportunity that can be taken. Look, twice in a row, when Rose changed direction and broke through, the Hammer immediately attacked to help defend. The timing he chose was when Rose's vision was blocked or not under the basket."
Xu Jicheng said: "There are two types of point guards. One is mainly for passing and organizing. Like Nash, this situation is impossible. He always keeps an eye on the whole court; the other is Rose, who is mainly for attacking. His observation ability is not as good as Nash, so the Hammer seized the opportunity to help defend."
Although he was interrupted twice by Li Ba, Rose was stubborn, even more stubborn than Kobe, and he still rushed to the paint area guarded by Li Ba with the ball.
This time he succeeded. Using his teammates' pick-and-roll, he broke through the layers of help defense and did not let Li Ba find an opportunity to attack and help defend.
After entering the paint area, Noah made a timely offensive screen, which helped him bypass Li Ba and hit a layup.
Having tasted the sweetness again, Rose broke through more resolutely
But in the next attack, he was blocked by Li Ba's block and fell to the ground again. He was so dizzy that he couldn't get up for a while.
But this still couldn't stop Rose's breakthrough.
Unfortunately, success once doesn't mean anything, just like Li Ba giving up defense once, it also doesn't mean anything.
In the whole third quarter, Li Ba only faced Rose, and sent 5 blocks and 4 steals.
Rose broke through 14 times with the ball, got 4 turnovers, and made 2 of 10 shots.
Li Ba didn't commit a single foul throughout the whole process, so Rose's ability to cause damage could not be brought into play.
After the third quarter, the Suns led the Bulls by 28 points.
In the fourth quarter, Rose didn't play again, his body couldn't stand it, and he couldn't play anymore.
He was blocked by Li Ba's block and fell to the ground 5 times, and fell 3 times. As soon as he sat on the bench, he put ice packs on his two knees.
In the two quarters when Li Ba played, he gave Rose a total of 11 blocks and 6 steals.
Li Ba did not play again in the fourth quarter, and the game entered garbage time.
"Derrick, do you want to win the championship?"
After the game, Li Ba picked up Guo Guo and took the girl to Rose and asked.
"Of course."
Rose stood up, letting the ice pack fall to the floor, and said excitedly: "Boss, I want to be like Michael and make the Bulls glorious again."
"Do you think you can do it?"
Li Ba glanced at Rose's knees, and then walked away.
Rose looked at Li Ba's back in a daze, and then looked at Gao Yuanyuan who was walking over: "Gao, what about the boss?"
"Look at your knees, how long can you play? This is what he meant. I've told you many times, think about it carefully."
Gao Yuanyuan shook her head and left.
Rose sat back in frustration, picked up the ice pack silently, and started to apply ice again.
Windy City Rose, if he gives up his current style of play, will he still be the Windy City Rose? Will there still be so many people around the world buying his jersey?
On November 26, the Suns faced the challenge of the Clippers at home.
That morning, Yatou told Li Ba that Xianbei Cinema had completed its first cinema acquisition plan, acquiring Taihua Cinema, a total of 47 cinemas, a total of 121 screens, and the plan to build its own cinemas had also begun.
"How many cinemas are there in China now?" Li Ba asked.
"Last year, the national statistics showed 1,687 cinemas and 4,725 screens." As the chairman, Yatou said these data like a treasure.
"The space should be very large. By the way, how is the stock price recently?" Li Ba asked again.
"Yesterday it was 63, the trading volume was very small, and institutional funds are still in it." Yatou said.
"Then let them stay. Anyway, our funds are our own, and there is no cost. There are not many stocks in the hands of retail investors now, and 80% of them are in the hands of institutions and us, and they have no way to pull them up." Li Ba smiled.
"Yeah." Yatou nodded and smiled.
That afternoon, when Li Ba went to the team training, the Spurs announced that they had cut Oden, who was still unable to return.
This news is a bit sad. The most anticipated draft pick in recent years, Oden, has fallen.
In the evening, the game started and the starting lineup was announced before the game.
Clippers: DeAndre Jordan, Griffin, Gomez, Gordon, Eric Bledsoe.
Suns: Li Ba, Yi Jianlian, Ray Allen, Ginobili, Nash.
In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley laughed and said: "Everyone knows that as the most anticipated No. 1 pick, Oden's rookie season was written off. He only played 61 games in the second season, averaging only 21 minutes per game. In the second season, he only played 21 games, averaging 22 minutes per game. This season, which is also his contract year, he continued to be written off for the season. The Spurs waited for him for four years, but in the end, nothing was gained.
Now there is another No. 1 pick, Blake Griffin, who was the No. 1 pick last year. Like Oden, he was injured in his rookie season. He returned this year. I heard that the Clippers have high hopes for him. I really hope he will not be like Oden. "
Kenny Smith smiled and said, "Speaking of this kid, I am very excited. Although the Clippers' current record is very bad, 3 wins and 13 losses, this kid has shown a super explosive style of play. He is very eye-catching. Currently, he averages 38 minutes per game and scores 22+12+4. He is definitely at his peak performance as soon as he debuts. "
Barkley smiled and said, "He is like the Hammer. He has no mid-range and long-range shots, only the ability to score in the paint area, and he often solves problems with dunks. Of course, there is another big guy in the Clippers. He is really like the Hammer. He only solves problems with dunks and fast breaks. He is Jordan. "
Kenny Smith said, "You can't compare him with the Hammer. The Hammer has close-to-basket shooting, but Jordan doesn't. Let's compare Griffin with the Hammer. They both have the ability to shoot close to the basket. ”
The game started at this time.
"DeAndre, let me have the jump ball?"
After entering the court, Griffin saw Li Ba preparing to jump the ball, he quickly ran up and said to Jordan.
"OK."
Jordan was a blue-collar player, and the No. 1 pick wanted to jump the ball, so of course he had to agree.
So, Griffin stood in front of Li Ba.
