Chapter 400
Peja caught the ball and stopped outside the left-wing three-point line. At this time, Battier jumped up. He got up and shook Battier, and then got up again.
"careful!"
Waver's anxious voice sounded from behind.
At this time, Peja felt the wind blowing from behind, the strong wind rushed, and the invisible pressure suddenly arose.
However, his ball was still shot.
Li Ba "saw" the ball flying over his head, and quickly returned to the defense, following the ball's path and pounced on Peja.
Fortunately, Battier moved quickly and delayed Peja for a second, allowing him to arrive.
Peja took off, he took off at the same time with a step behind, gliding in the air and turned sideways, and swept over with a backhand with his right arm.
"Snapped!"
As soon as Peja took the ball, Li Ba swept it down.
"What the hell!"
Li Ba cursed, because the ball was swept towards the center line and was just picked up by Weber.
At this time, Peja, who was blocked, was not confused. After landing, he started directly and rushed to the unmanned paint area.
Li Ba quickly chased after him.
At this time, Weber passed the ball to Peja.
Peja jumped up to catch the ball, landed, took two more steps, and took off for a layup.
"boom!"
A big hand suddenly appeared on the basketball, pressing it firmly on the backboard.
"Yeah, it belongs to the performance moment of the hammer. He chased caps twice in a row. He blocked Peja with chasing caps in a row, completely ending the Kings' offense..."
The roar of the Suns' on-site commentator sounded.
Li Ba grabbed the ball from the backboard, glanced at Peja in front of him indifferently, and then handed the ball to Marbury who came back to defend him.
The Suns attack.
Li Ba still went to the basket to attract double teams.
Marion pulled to the right bottom corner, and there were no Kings players within three meters around him, so it couldn't be more empty, and he caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
"boom!"
Missed a three-pointer and the ball hit the basket.
"mine!"
Relying on the top bullet speed, Li Ba forcibly took off in the double-team, grabbed the backboard with both hands, landed, and took the ball again.
Miller and Weber put their four hands directly on Li Ba's body, but they still couldn't hold him down.
"boom!"
The arms were dunked heavily, and the basket was steep.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded.
Seeing Li Ba hanging high above the basket, Webb and Miller, who were panting, raised their hands helplessly.
"Another super heavy dunk from the Hammer! Mr. Adelman, please double-team him!" Amidst the huge cheers at the American West Arena, the Sun team's on-site commentator roared loudly.
In the end, the foul was given to Webber, avoiding Miller's fourth foul.
After the third quarter, the score was 62:78. The Suns scored 30 points in a single quarter and won 10 points in a single quarter, widening the point difference to 16 points.
Li Ba made 3 of 3 shots and 2 of 4 free throws in this quarter. He scored 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 3 blocks and 1 foul.
"Look, this is the role of the hammer at the basket, directly causing damage. In the four regular season games last season, the Suns lost three games to the Kings. There were no other changes, only two changes. One was that the bench lineup was stronger. , The second is that the Hammer has added the tactic of playing hard at the basket. With these two changes, the situation is very different, making the Kings play very passively." Zhang Lili said.
"Yes, without double-teaming, it would be too easy for the Hammers to single-play Webber or Miller under the basket. When double-teaming, the Suns were open from outside, and even if they were double-teaming, they were repeatedly hit by the Hammers with two plus one. Said To put it bluntly, the King's Prince system, which requires insiders, is inherently unable to restrain a powerful center like the Hammer." Yu Jia said.
"If the king only meets a strong center on the offensive end, that's okay. As long as he plays his own tactics on the offensive end, he still has a chance to win. But the hammer is not, he is still a monster on the defensive end. From this game Looking at it, his defense against Webber or Miller is obviously better. The combination of both offense and defense, the Kings will not be able to do it." Zhang Reasonable said.
"I didn't play in the second quarter. In the two quarters, I made 6 of 6 shots and 5 of 8 free throws. I scored 17 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 6 steals, 4 blocks and 2 fouls. Among the 6 steals, 5 were given to Webber. It was given to Miller once, which caused a total of 9 turnovers by the two. This kind of defensive strength has seriously affected the operation of the Kings' offensive axis, and this is probably an important reason why the Kings fell behind." Yu Jiadao.
"Of course, as I said just now, only when the Hammers exert their strength on the offensive and defensive ends at the same time can they win a team like the Kings. Oh, by the way, with this data, the Hammers may hit 5*5 today. ?” Zhang Lili laughed.
"Really, only one assist and one block away." Yu Jia laughed.
"Look at the Hammer's scoring ability at the basket, 21 points in two quarters. I think last season wasted the strength advantage of the Hammer at the basket. Especially in the playoffs, his strength, speed and explosive power seemed to be all It's improved from the regular season and should play a dozen at the basket."
Zhang Lili said with some regret.
The fourth quarter started and the Suns attacked.
The Kings are behind and the main force is dead.
The Suns put on Chandler, Lee Ba rested, Barbosa replaced Joe Johnson, Payton came on, Marbury rested, three out of five starters.
"Is this not going to let the hammer take 5*5? It's too unreasonable!" Zhang Lili said with regret.
Taking advantage of Li Ba's absence, the Kings launched a final counterattack.
But the Suns, which are half the main force and half the bench, still have a strong defense.
After half a quarter, 76:88, the Kings got back 4 points and were still 12 points behind.
"Why are the Suns' substitutes so strong? Maybe the Hammers won't have a chance to play." Yu Jiaxin said unwillingly.
"Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed out loud.
In the 7th minute, Peja received a high pass from Miller and hit a three-pointer from the left bottom corner. After narrowing the point difference to single digits, Frank called a timeout.
The timeout ended and Li Ba came on the field.
Only he played, Marbury and Joe Johnson continued to sit on the bench.
Sun attack.
Li Ba went straight to the basket.
The Kings immediately started double-teaming early.
"Don't let him catch the ball," Adelman yelled at Webber and Miller, then at Bibby, "Don't let the ball go in."
Unfortunately, Bibby faced Payton.
"Tender chicken, are you from this league? Don't you come from the CBA?" Peyton sprayed.
As the two major trash talk kings recognized by the league, the white trash talk king is Larry Bird, and the black man is Payton. He has won the award.
Bibby's face froze, Fa Keyou, you belong to the CBA.
While Bibby was distracted, Payton passed the ball.
He saw Li Ba stuck Webber and threw the ball directly over Bibby's head to the basket.
The moment the ball came in, Webb and Miller immediately oppressed Liba's movement space from the front and rear to prevent him from getting up.
But it was useless, Li Ba's playing time was far less than the two of them, and his physical condition was good, even though he exerted his strength, he still exploded in the double-teaming of the two.
At this time, Miller's hands were directly hanging on Li Ba's body.
Webber also secretly pulled a jersey behind.
But it's useless, they can't hold it down, they feel like holding down a giant beast, and the giant beast still jumps up.
