Chapter 340 Inside Advantage
"It's very hopeful to continue fighting like this today!" Yu Jia said excitedly.
"Don't be careless, Spain is very strong. They don't understand the hammer now. They were blocked three times in a row, and we got the ball in all three shots. In addition, the hammer also grabbed two rebounds. That's it. The reason why we are leading now." Zhang Lili said.
"4 of 4 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks, absolutely!" Da Liu laughed.
"My analysis is that the Spanish team will definitely cut the hammer. The hammer may not be strong at the basket. But the cooperation within the team is not tacit, and Ba's lob cooperation may not be able to play. On the offensive end, he may be a secondary offense such as supplementary dunks, and the offense with the ball and the coordinated offense will be reduced." Zhang rationally analyzed.
In front of the Spanish bench, coach Pesgueta was yelling: "As I said, pay attention to his defense, his defense...to strengthen the transfer of the ball...to tear their defensive system..."
"Hammer, well done!"
"Brother Hammer, you are too fierce!"
When he left the field, Li Ba was warmly welcomed by his teammates.
"Now pay attention to one thing, strengthen the defense of the outside line. If their inside offense is frustrated, they will definitely strengthen the outside offense..."
Harris said.
Pause back, Spain attack.
Gasol is still active on the left wing.
Li Ba still followed, with Dayao at the basket.
According to Harris' tactical arrangement, on the offensive end, Li Ba is more impactful at the basket, and Dayao can still attack when he leaves the basket.
On the defensive end, Li Ba proposed that Dayao be under the basket, so although the overall domination of the penalty area is weaker, Li Ba proposed that it can strengthen the defense of the outside line.
In this way, the overall defense will be more coordinated and balanced.
Li Ba's current speed and the speed of defending the restricted area are getting faster and faster, which is enough to meet the requirements of this defensive tactic.
Gasol received the ball, but Li Ba still took a step to defend.
"Paul, if you dare to attack again, I will definitely seal you to the floor. If you don't believe me, you can try!" Li Ba threatened with trash talk.
Gasol really didn't shoot, he passed the ball, and passed it to Bomb Navarro who moved to the left-wing three-point line.
Navarro got rid of Zhang Jinsong through frequent running, and was about to catch the ball, Zhang Jinsong rushed over and jumped up to block the shot. When he received the ball and wanted to jump up to make a shot, he saw Li Ba jumping over from inside.
Seeing the ferocious Li Ba, the pressure came to his face, and he didn't dare to make a move.
At this time, Zhang Jinsong returned to Navarro, and Li Ba immediately retreated to guard Gasol. Navarro lost the opportunity to shoot open, and also lost the opportunity to pass to the open Gasol.
"Wow, did the hammer go straight to the three-point line?" Yu Jia said in surprise.
"The effect is good. I found that his speed is really getting faster and faster! The speed of returning to defense is also very fast, and Gasol doesn't get much open time." Zhang Reasonable said with a smile.
"Was he very slow before? I think he is faster than the average striker now! Especially the first step is very fast." Da Liu asked.
"He used to be inseparable from the paint area, but now you see how wide his range of activities is?" Zhang Reasonable said with a smile.
At this time, Navarro returned the ball to Calderon at the top of the arc, who immediately passed the ball to small forward right wing Garbajosa.
The strong and weak sides were quickly exchanged. Through this rapid transfer, the Spanish team avoided the strongest defensive flank where Li Ba was.
Garbajosa caught the ball while running, and immediately made a jump shot after catching the ball. Li Nan blocked it and didn't have time to jump up.
"Shua!"
CIC hit.
15:6, Spain is 9 points behind.
The Chinese team attacked.
Li Ba is still in the basket, very easy.
The ball was not given to him directly. It was first passed to Yao who was in a high position. After attracting the defense through Dayao, he passed it in.
After the ball reached Li Ba's hands, Spain's defense stopped at Dayao's point because of Dayao's transfer support. There was a gap here, and it was impossible to double-team him immediately.
"Snapped!"
After Li Ba received the ball, Gasol directly fouled.
Because he failed to make a shooting action, there were no free throws and the possession of the ball continued.
"It's time to cut!" Zhang Lili shouted.
"Rehes, protect Paul!" The Spanish coach shouted loudly off the court.
The Chinese team continued to attack.
The ball was passed to Dayao again, and Dayao made a passing motion. Rehs immediately rushed back to the basket, speeding up the speed of double-teaming Li Ba.
But at this time, Dayao jumped up and made a mid-range shot.
"boom!"
The ball is missed.
But the rebound was caught by Li Ba, and it was given to Dayao, and Dayao made another shot.
"Shua!"
I hit it this time.
Dayao made 3 of 5 shots, and he didn't have to fight hard at the basket on the offensive end. Li Ba did the dirty work, and he easily scored 6 points with a smile on his face.
"Tie Hammer, you are a good comrade!" He teased Li Ba.
17:6, China leads by 11 points.
"Two-tower tactics, it's really difficult to defend. The strength of the hammer is too advantageous in the basket, and Dayao's height and mid-range shooting ability are also very advantageous in the high post. Spain's two insiders cannot be defended at all." Yu Yu Jia laughed.
"Next, they will definitely strengthen the protection of the penalty area, and small forward Garbajosa will participate in the double-teaming of the defense." Zhang reasonably analyzed.
Spain attacked.
Gasol is still active on the left wing.
At this time, the ball was still in the hands of Calderon at the top of the arc, and Navarro ran to the left wing three-point line.
Seeing Navado's running position, Li Ba suddenly left Gasol's side and ran to the position between Navado and Gasol.
"Huh, it's too early to double-team Navado?" Da Liu said in surprise at the live broadcast.
"hey-hey!"
Zhang Lili and Yu Jia laughed when they saw this.
On the field, Calderon saw that Gasol was empty and immediately passed the ball.
As soon as he shot the ball, Li Ba, who had just run between Navarro and Gasol, suddenly turned around.
"squeak!"
Amid the violent friction of the sneakers, Li Ba landed on the ground with one step, stretched out his left arm, and his huge palm instantly cut off the passing line.
"Snapped!"
The basketball hit Li Ba's big hand.
"Beautiful steal! Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed and praised.
"This kind of digging steal defense is what the Hammer is best at. That's how it came to 12 steals in a single game." Yu Jia laughed.
"..." Da Liu was stunned.
The fast break of the Chinese team was still not successful, and the fast down speed was not played out, and it turned into a positional battle.
"What a waste of a fast break scoring opportunity! The speed of the fast break, this should be the first problem to be solved now."
Zhang Lili said.
When Li Ba and Dayao are in position, it is still the old way, and Dayao catches the ball from a high position.
At this time, the Spanish small forward Garbajosa on the right wing directly lost Li Ba and rushed towards Dayao.
Dayao passed the ball, not to the basket, but to Li Nan who was open.
Li Nan received the ball and immediately made a mid-range shot.
"boom!"
Xiao Li's flying knife, probably because the shooting range was too short, he missed the mid-range shot.
Li Ba predicted, moved two steps to the right wing in advance, and grabbed the ball from the air.
Li Nan asked for the ball again, Li Ba gave it to Li Nan, and the former made another shot.
"Shua!"
I hit it this time.
19:6, China leads by 13 points.
"This shot is so cool! This is the advantage of having a huge advantage inside. The rebound is controlled, which ensures a sufficient number of shots. If you can't make a shot, you can shoot again."
Zhang Lili laughed.
"The Chinese team made 9 of 12 shots, the Iron Hammer made 4 of 4 shots, Dayao made 3 of 5 shots, Li Nan made 1 of 2 shots, and Liu Wei made 1 of 1 shots. The shooting percentage is amazing!"
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"The key is rebounding. All three offensive rebounds and one backcourt rebound were caught by the hammer, and Spain didn't catch one, haha!"
Yu Jia laughed out loud.
"It's mainly because of Hammer's attack at the basket and Dayao's high-post shooting, which improved the overall shooting percentage." Yu Jia laughed.
