Chapter 498: Suffocating Defense

"Yeah! The Hammer sent out the second tackle. Our winner is down again, he's running like crazy, he's as fast as anyone else..."

The Suns commentator was yelling.

"Shua!"

Marbury made a layup and once again provided an assist for Li Ba.

0:7, the Suns lead at home.

"Wow, as soon as we entered the playoffs, the Hammer's defense was very active, and it has been defending out of the paint in a row." Yu Jia said in surprise.

"Yes, this is the real superstar. They will only shoot with all their strength in the playoffs. The playoffs are their stage. The Hammer's attack today is very decisive, which represents his determination and his respect for his teammates. I am full of confidence in supplementary defense." Zhang Lili said with a smile.

The Grizzlies attacked, and coach Mike Frattero called a timeout.

"Don't pass the ball casually, be more cautious. What you are facing is the most terrifying steal king in the history of the league..." Without scoring a point and making two consecutive mistakes, he was a little anxious and roared.

The Grizzlies were under a lot of pressure, thinking of the sweeping slogan shouted by the sun, this pressure made each of them unconsciously breathe heavily.

"Sweep!"

At this time, in front of the Suns bench, there was another unusually loud shout.

"Sweep!"

Li Ba raised his head and shouted, and stepped onto the field first.

"Sweep!"

The American West Arena was shouting crazily.

"Ho... ho..."

The generals of the Grizzlies even felt suffocated at this moment.

"Bang... bang... bang..."

The feeling of lack of oxygen made their hearts beat crazily, and the feeling of exhaustion appeared just after the game started.

Gasol thought of the first round of last season's playoffs. The powerful defending Spurs were defeated in two consecutive games by the mighty Suns. Can they survive today?

The timeout ends and the Grizzlies attack.

"Defense!"

Li Ba sat under the basket and used his roar to continue to increase the psychological pressure on the Grizzlies.

"Defense!"

The audience echoed him.

"It's so majestic!"

Zhang Ziyi looked at the majestic hammer on the field, who responded to everyone's call, and was extremely surprised in his heart.

White Chocolate organizes the offense at the top of the arc, observing the positions of his teammates.

Gasol made two consecutive mistakes. This time he didn't ask for the ball. He planned to calm down first and take a break.

At this time, Bunchwells on the free throw line suddenly ran to the left wing, and Posey was thrown away.

White Chocolate saw it and immediately made a move to the right, but the ball was passed back to Wells.

Wells saw White Chocolate moving to the right, thinking that he would not be given the ball, and he was not mentally prepared to catch the ball, but now, the ball came?

The ball flew in front of Wells and was caught by Battier, who was defending Mike Miller in the left corner, and the Suns attacked.

"Shet, pass it as soon as you pass it, why do you make more moves?" Bunchwells cursed at White Chocolate in his heart.

"Haha...Jason's pass can fool everyone, including his teammates." In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley was overjoyed.

"This is the magnificence of White Chocolate. He pursues the artistry of this kind of passing, which also leads to his assist-to-turnover ratio as high as 2.81."

Smith quipped.

"He doesn't care about the assist-to-turnover ratio, he's an artist." Barkley laughed.

At this time, Marbury took the lead, went to the basket and made a successful layup.

0:9, the Suns continue to lead.

Another mistake, the 58-year-old Grizzlies coach Mike spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"Bunch, get your attention, I don't want to see this kind of unnecessary mistake again!" Then he began to growl at Wells.

Wells snorted coldly. As the thorn in the head of the Grizzlies, he had great conflicts with the head coach, which made him angry and helpless.

Grizzlies attack.

"Defense!"

At the basket, Li Ba roared again.

The opening situation is good, and he will take advantage of the momentum to pursue.

Bunch Wells received the ball against Posey on the left wing and carried him high into the paint.

In contrast, Wells is 196 centimeters and 95 kilograms, and Posey is 203 centimeters and 98 kilograms. The former has a lower center of gravity and better strength.

The two are also teammates in the Grizzlies, and they know each other very well. When Wells advanced, Posey did not carry it to death, but defended and retreated, but it prevented Wells from rushing.

Li Ba is staring at Wells from the low position on the left wing. He knows that this guy is good at breakthroughs, but with him in the low position, the opponent will definitely break through upwards instead of downwards, so what he wants to focus on is Wells' left turn. .

Two steps away from the paint area, Wells suddenly blocked back with his left arm, and at the same time turned left, breaking through Posey.

But just as he turned around, Li Ba's defense had arrived, just in front of him.

"Snapped!"

Wells was about to dribble, when Li Ba swiftly grabbed the ball forward with his right hand, directly grabbing the ball from the former's hand.

"Yeah, the hammer sent out the third steal of this quarter! The winner turned around and went down quickly... the hammer passed the ball... White Chocolate desperately returned to the defense...the winner was unparalleled in speed...yeah, he made a layup."

The Sun commentator roared again and again, raising the atmosphere at home.

"0:11, the Suns' defense kept the Grizzlies from scoring. This is not a team at all." Zhang Reasonable shouted.

"In the first two minutes, the Hammers made 1 of 1 from the field and 1 of 1 from the free throw. They scored 3 points, 3 assists and 3 steals. They performed brilliantly."

Yu Jia exclaimed excitedly.

Grizzlies attack.

"Raise your concentration and pay attention to offensive screens!" Grizzlies coach Mike shouted.

On the right wing, Grizzlies small forward Mike Miller is active, guarded by Battier.

He was the No. 5 pick in the first round of 2000. He has made 40.8% of his 3-point shots in the current 5 seasons, averaging 1.5 3-pointers per game. You must know that Ray Allen can also make 2.3 3-pointers per game. Divide the ball, so he is the focus of the Suns today.

Battier defended very tightly. He knew that this kind of 3-point shooter would be terrible once he made a smooth shot.

At this moment, Gasol suddenly pulled out from the low post, and Marion followed.

The white chocolate Jason Williams at the top of the arc immediately fixed his sights on the right wing and started moving towards the right wing.

The right wing is about to become the ball side. As soon as Li Ba saw it, he immediately entered the basket from the low position of the left wing, and the Suns' defensive formation also began to move to the right wing.

That's when Gasol set up a pick-and-roll for Mike Miller, who took the opportunity to run to the right corner.

Marion and Battier immediately switched defenses, and the former quickly defended in front of Mike Miller, preventing him from getting an open chance.

But at this time, the white chocolate at the top of the arc passed the ball.

His pass was extremely confusing, and Marbury couldn't prevent it, because the direction of White Chocolate's pass was not the right wing, but Lorenzen White, who was in the low position on the left wing.

As soon as the ball was passed, the locking skill was triggered, and Li Ba turned around and rushed back from the basket.

When he took the first big step, Lorenzen White caught the ball, and he immediately took the second small step. Lorenzen White took a jump shot, and he jumped up to block the shot.

"Snapped!"

Grabbing lightly with his right hand, Li Ba firmly caught the ball with one palm.

"ah!!!"

The American West Arena sent out huge cheers and countless shaking palms for this cap-grabbing, and the momentum of the Suns at home continued to rise.

"Beautiful! The Hammer sent out a catch. He blocked the No. 7 pick in the first round of the 96 Golden Generation..." The roar of the Suns commentator sounded instantly.

Marbury went down again quickly, two steps beyond White Chocolate, then quickly caught the ball and made a layup.

0:13, the Suns lead at home.
