Chapter 556 Let Me In!

"Although the Spurs lead more, but in terms of physical condition, the situation will be biased towards the Suns in the fourth quarter. Once Duncan can't keep up with the speed and rhythm of the Hammers, it will be the time for the Suns to chase points crazily." Zhang Reasonable analysis.

"Yes, the Suns' defense was completely suffocated in the third quarter, and the defense line did not shrink. Every time the Spurs scored a goal from the outside, they had to go through repeated moves. It was very difficult and consumed a lot of energy." Yu Jia said.

Then he shouted excitedly: "Anyway, the hammer is going to hit the Spurs with a 5*5 again. This will also be his 12th 5*5 and 10th playoff 5*5. Great stats that may never come."

"In the fourth quarter, the hammer must control the range of movement. Be careful of 6 fouls. Marbury should also be careful. He has already committed 5 fouls, one more than the hammer."

Zhang Lili reminded.

At the beginning of the 4th quarter, the Suns attacked.

Before playing, Li Ba observed the situation of the Spurs. After a 130-second rest, his physical fitness has recovered to a certain extent.

"Frank, it is recommended to consume their physical energy." He said to the head coach: "Gary can come up and play for two or three minutes first."

"Okay, Stephen has fouled five times, let's fight again later." Frank followed suit and waved Payton to play.

Payton played this time, starting the fourth quarter with 5 players, all top defensive champions, defending the Spurs so painfully that they wanted to die.

Three minutes later, Popovich called a timeout.

After 3 minutes, the Spurs made 0 of 4 shots and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring a total of 4 points.

The Suns continued to rely on defense to make up for the ball lost due to fouls. They also made 4 shots, but hit 3 of them, and there was a three-pointer, plus 1 penalty and 1, and scored 8 points.

Of the 3 goals made, 2 were layups after breakthroughs. Li Ba continued to make high-quality offensive screens.

In these three minutes, there were 6 rebounds. Li Ba showed his prowess and grabbed 5 rebounds alone, and Duncan snatched the other one.

78:89, the Suns are still 11 points behind.

Barkley said: "It can be seen that the Spurs have a physical problem. Under the crazy defense of the Suns, their outside shooting percentage is very low, they can't hit inside, and they can't guarantee rebounds. This may be the beginning of their failure."

"Begging for more free throws," Kenny Smith laughed.

Barkley laughed, and then said: "The fourth quarter was crazy, 6 free throws were given in 3 minutes."

Kenny Smith looked at the information in his hand and read: "Hammer has committed 5 fouls, Marbury has 5 fouls, Marion has 4 fouls, Battier has 4 fouls, Posey has 4 fouls, Payton has 3 fouls, and Wang Zhizhi has 2 fouls. , Chandler made 3 fouls, Barbosa made 2 fouls, 9 people made 32 fouls, and the Spurs have scored 46 free throws, haha!"

"So I think it's time for the Spurs to adopt killing tactics, because two of the Suns' five main players are only one foul away. I think this is the only chance for the Spurs to win." Barkley laughed.

On the side of the CCTV live broadcast seat, Yu Jia said excitedly: "26 rebounds, this hammer should be able to enter the top 10 rebounds in a single game history, right?"

"The 8th, 9th, and 10th in history are all 31 rebounds. If the Hammers get 31 rebounds, they should be ranked 11th. If they only get 32, then they will directly rank 8th in history. But don't get too hopeful , 9 minutes, to grab 5 or 6 rebounds, you still need a chance. Of course, with the bravery of the hammer today, it should not be a problem. But if you don’t get it, don’t be disappointed. With his rebounding strength, sooner or later Question." Zhang Lili smiled.

For the Suns, Marbury will play.

His playing means that the Suns' tactics will change. In the fourth quarter, when everyone is very tired, they will speed up to drag down the Spurs.

"Stephen, be careful about fouling." Before playing, Frank warned.

In this match, he originally had the attitude of giving up, but until now, he had no control over it.

Li Ba has never given up. Under his leadership, the players have not given up either. Frank naturally has no chance to give up.

This shows that in the Suns locker room, Li Ba's influence exceeds his.

But he and Li Ba have the same interests, and Li Ba has always respected him, and this is also the tradition of the NBA, so it doesn't matter.

On the Spurs side, Popovich looked very dignified. He is an old coach, and he has already felt that the situation is likely to reverse. At this time, he exhorted:

"Score in, you can't shoot outside, it will only waste the ball."

"Go in?"

Parker and Ginobili twitched, to face that terrifying angel?

"Must go in."

Popovich looked stern and authentic.

He said to Duncan: "Tim, you must do your best to contain him. This is your last chance to prove yourself this season."

Chance to prove yourself? Duncan felt a little sad.

Didn't he prove himself by winning the single-core championship in the 0203 season? Is it time to prove yourself again?

Hammer?

He turned around and glanced at Li Ba who was on the Suns bench.

It is the appearance of this guy that I need to prove myself again, right? Come on then!

A fighting spirit suddenly rose in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he said to Popovich, "Give him to me."

Popovich nodded and said to Parker, "You, Tony Parker, are responsible for beating Marbury down."

"Understood." Parker nodded.

He actually has a bad feeling. If Marbury is beaten down, Payton's defense will be even more difficult to deal with, right?

"The opportunity is here now, you need to attack him more firmly!"

Popovich then told the two guards to try their best to hit the basket first and beat Li Ba down.

Spurs attack.

The formation opened.

At the top of the arc, Parker is about to break through.

He played 8 minutes in the second quarter, and now he has played 35 minutes. Under the strict defense of the Suns, his physical energy consumption is very high, and he is actually not suitable for breakthroughs.

But there is no way, tactical requirements, it must be sudden.

Barkley shouted at this time: "This is the only weakness of the Suns now. If there are too many fouls, the defensive strength will drop significantly."

"That's right. The Suns' problem now is that they don't dare to increase their defensive strength." Kenny Smith said.

"Let him in, and I'll crush him to death."

Under the basket, Li Ba yelled at Marbury, raised his right hand, and grabbed it hard.

Seeing his action, the breath of all Spurs fans was stagnant, their eyes shrank, and their hearts seemed to be caught.

"This guy, he's so rampant after committing five crimes? Don't you know it's over?" Popovich had a headache on the sidelines.

At the top of the arc, Parker's heart skipped a beat.

"Come in!"

Li Ba was roaring.

"What are you crazy about?"

Duncan's face turned black.

At this time, Parker moved, and Marbury didn't move his feet and hands, so Parker rushed over.

He didn't dare to move, and the whistle might sound if he moved, so he could only leave it to Li Ba to solve it.

According to what Barkley and Smith said, the defensive strength of the Suns has indeed come down, especially in Marbury's position. They dare not increase their strength and can only defend with their eyes.

In the paint area, Parker headed towards Li Ba.
