Chapter 1312 Owen Is Defeated

Li Ba did not focus too much on Thompson beside him, but stared at Irving, he did not want to capsize in the gutter.

In addition, he must observe and understand the rising star among point guards like Irving.

At this time, Irving dribbled and broke through on the right wing, first faked a breakthrough, then pulled back, and then broke to the left. When Harden caught up, he suddenly turned and jumped, and then Harden was shaken away by two steps.

"Swish!"

The water splashed and hit two points.

"You can't defend me. This is why I am the No. 1 pick and you are only the third." Irving sprayed trash talk to Harden.

"..."

Harden was so angry that he blew his beard and his two small eyes were wide open.

Barkley said at this time: "Irving's breakthrough method, combined footwork, can only be achieved when the point guard's ability reaches the top level this time."

Kenny Smith shouted: "Go on, Irving, shake down the hammer, let us see what the hammer looks like lying on the floor."

Barkley laughed.

The Suns attacked, and Li Ba once again bullied Varejao.

Varejao had no idea what to do. He was not as strong as Li Ba, and his pace was not as fast as Li Ba. He was beaten three times in a row, and he was inexplicably angry.

The enemy was too rampant, and he felt that he had the power to kill the enemy, but he was powerless to turn the tide.

Seeing Varejao's expression of eating shit, Li Ba asked in confusion: "Silly, are you being raped? Do you want me to give you a dozen TT?"

"..."

Being teased by the league's number one bully, Varejao felt like vomiting blood.

Looking back, Irving was preparing to break through with the ball on the right wing again.

The Suns did not switch defense, and did not let George Hill, who had better defense, defend Irving. Li Ba just wanted to hone Harden's defense in the regular season.

"James, don't let him go, stick to him, move faster, and take the initiative to force him to create opportunities for teammates to double-team."

He began to instruct Harden on defense.

With Li Ba's guidance, Harden immediately followed the prescription and the effect was immediate.

He weighs 100 kilograms, while Irving weighs only 88 kilograms. When his chest pressed against him, Irving's center of gravity was squeezed.

At this time, George Hill went up to assist in defense and double-teamed successfully, and Irving lost the ball.

"Come on if you dare!"

After losing the ball, the angry Irving yelled at Li Ba.

Li Ba smiled. This kind of junior is really too arrogant, even more arrogant than he was in the past. This is not enough lesson!

The Suns played a fast break, and Irving came back with the ball to the front court and hooked his finger at Li Ba.

"Oh!"

The whole audience exclaimed in disbelief.

"To put it nicely, it's called a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, but to put it badly..." Zhang Heli complained.

"That's courting death!" Yu Jia followed with complaints.

"Will Tiechui go out?" Xu Jicheng asked.

"Oh, Tiechui signaled Harden to let go of Irving, and he let Irving go in by himself." Barkley shouted excitedly at this time.

"Dear audience, please enjoy the one-on-one match between No. 1 draft pick Irving and undrafted draft pick Hammer." Kenny Smith shouted excitedly.

"Idiot, go in and die." Harden stepped aside and motioned Irving to go in.

"Kill the gods and become a saint, today!"

Irving gritted his teeth and really rushed to the paint area with the ball.

At this moment, the attention of countless people around the world was focused.

Li Ba left the reasonable collision area under the basket one step away and waited for Irving two meters inside the sideline of the paint area.

Irving stepped into the sideline of the paint area, and at this moment, Li Ba suddenly rushed up and grabbed the basketball he was carrying to the floor with one claw.

"So fast!"

At this moment, he felt like he was going to lose the ball, so he quickly slowed down to protect the ball.

Forced Irving to slow down and protect the ball, Li Ba's active defense strategy was successful, and then he stuck to Irving's back, blocking his way to break through.

But his defense did not stop, he "saw" the position of the ball, and at the moment of sticking, his left arm went around Irving's body and stabbed it accurately.

"Snap!"

The ball was dropped, and then Harden caught up with him.

Looking at Harden walking away with the ball, Irving was dissatisfied. His breakthrough had not yet begun, and his strength had not yet been exerted?

"Come again!" He shouted at Li Ba.

Harden made a quick break, and Irving was put in with the ball again.

When he reached the sideline of the paint area, before Li Ba could steal the ball, he suddenly stopped and slowed down, and made a quick stop jump shot.

Li Ba quickly stole the ball, and at this time Irving retracted his jump shot and suddenly broke through one step to the left front.

This is his usual breakthrough action. Next, he will use the movement of turning and jumping to completely get rid of the so-called basketball god in front of him, and then shoot in an open position.

But just when he broke through with one step, Li Ba's moving position was beyond his expectation. He did not block him in front, but took the initiative to slow down by half a beat and blocked him below.

This made his next turn and jump action unable to connect, and he could only continue to break forward.

But Li Ba was below him, and under the huge force, he was farther and farther away from the basket, and could only dribble with his left hand.

Irving rushed to the free throw line, but still could not get rid of Li Ba's defense, so he was forced to pull up and back to the outside line first.

Just as he pulled up and switched the ball to his right hand, Li Ba suddenly appeared from behind him on the right side and grabbed his ball with one claw.

"I... was intercepted by a center?"

Looking at Li Ba, who was running down the court with the ball, Irving felt a chill in his heart.

"This is the iron hammer's defense. No top guard has ever been able to challenge him!" Barkley shook his head and exclaimed.

"Come again!"

"Come again!"

"Come again!"

Next, Irving did not give up and continued to challenge Li Ba.

Li Ba was not polite at all. He would crush any of these juniors who were looking for death and would never let them live.

Later, Irving was already timid. Li Ba even took the initiative to play the No. 1 position and continued to abuse this rookie who didn't know how high the sky was and what awe was.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 51:105, and the Suns had already exceeded by 54 points.

In the third quarter, Li Ba played for only 29 minutes, but he had a 5*5+3 double-double, double-digit steals, 4 big blocks on Irving, 8 steals, and forced Irving to make 18 turnovers, breaking Irving's record of 9 turnovers in a single game.

"Am I still fit for basketball?"

After playing three quarters, Irving returned to the bench in a daze. His face was pale and his heart was cold. He even doubted his future career.

He had a concept that sports like basketball had no importance in the real world and were just a pastime. After today's blow, this concept even affected his outlook on life.

At this time, Barkley complained: "Enough of the hammer, that kid has been broken by you. If you continue to beat him, he will commit suicide."

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "If we continue to play, this game may enter the top five in the history of point difference."

Barkley flipped through the information on the computer and nodded: "The fifth place is 62 points, it's really possible."
