Chapter 576 Chauncey, What Are You Doing Lying on the Floor?
The Pistons attacked, and Billups advanced to the top of the arc and made a tactical gesture.
Rasheed Wallace came up low on the right wing, set up a high pick-and-roll, then Billups broke through and Rasheed Wallace stayed high.
If it was another team, the zone defense should have shrunk at this time, but the Suns did not, and the low-post defense was completely handed over to Li Ba.
Even Marion didn't switch defenses.
He's supposed to switch to Billups on the drive, but he doesn't, and gets in front of Rasheed Wallace.
In this way, although Li Ba needs to defend Big Ben and Billups alone at the basket, Rasheed Wallace does not get the opportunity to play Marbury in a misplaced position.
In this high-position pick-and-roll tactic of the Pistons, Rasheed Wallace received the pass and misplaced Marbury, which was the first tactical purpose.
"Look at the hammer." Yu Jia shouted.
At the time of the pick-and-roll, Li Ba had already entered the paint under the entanglement of Da Ben, and was one step below the free throw line. Billups just broke through Marbury, and met Li Ba's supplementary defense.
At this moment, Da Ben clamped Li Ba's right arm, preventing him from moving.
cast?
Divide the ball?
At this moment, Billups reacted.
He also had to react at this moment, because in the next moment, he was likely to be double-teamed by Li Ba and Marion.
He immediately veered to the left and broke behind Big Ben.
"drink!"
Li Ba suddenly exerted force on his right side and slammed into Daben's arms, and at the same time, his right elbow also slammed into Daben's body.
"Well!"
This time, the sideways force was very strong, Da Ben let out a pained snort instantly, his eyes were dilated by his elbows, his breathing was suffocated, and his face flushed instantly.
This elbow, with Da Ben's body like black iron, was too much to respond to the elbow.
Taking this opportunity, Li Ba broke free from the entanglement, turned his left side, and rushed to the basket.
As soon as he took a step, he saw Billups jumping up under the basket, and he immediately jumped up and pressed his right palm.
"Snapped!"
Just as the basketball reached its peak, Li Ba slapped it on the backboard.
"yeah!!!"
The audience cheered instantly, and countless palms shook immediately.
Li Ba caught the ball and landed on the ground. At this time, Da Ben with a ferocious expression bumped into his back, preventing him from turning around.
"Goofball! Goofball..." Billups yelled again and again.
The whistle really blew, and the referee signaled that the two points are valid, but the block is invalid.
2:3, the Pistons trailed by 1 point.
"Hush!!!!!!"
Sun fans immediately greeted the referee.
"This is still Big Ben's restriction on the hammer. His strength is really strong, which affects the speed of the hammer's return to defense." Zhang He understood.
"Ben, you're asking for trouble."
Li Ba dropped the ball, scanned the big book, and spit out a sentence with a grim expression.
"Then come on." Big Ben roared through gritted teeth.
But secretly, he felt between the left chest and abdomen, where the pain was still very strong.
"How hard is this guy's bones?" He also smiled bitterly in his heart. He was really afraid that he would suffer a lot in this finals.
"Then I will fulfill you."
Li Ba dropped another sentence and ran to the frontcourt.
"This nail-biting penalty is debatable, and it can be blown or not." Barkley said.
"But the penalty is not a problem." Kenny Smith laughed.
Barkley nodded and didn't say anything about it.
Marbury advanced to the frontcourt and made tactical gestures.
At this time, Billups greeted him, Marbury suddenly took a step back, and the former forced forward.
Just when Billups moved his feet, Marbury suddenly started forward and broke through Billups in one step.
Billups instinctively took a step back, but his feet missed and he sat down on the ground.
"Haha..." The auditorium suddenly burst into laughter.
Without a defender, Marbury made a quick stop at the free throw line, jumped up next to Billups' head, and released the shot calmly.
"Shua!"
Two points hit.
2:5, the Suns lead.
"Chauncey, what are you doing lying on the floor?" Marbury backed off while teasing Billups who got up.
"I was looking to see if you had any balls?" Billups shot back.
Pistons attack.
Billups called Rasheed Wallace's high pick-and-roll again.
Li Ba immediately moved to the next step of the free throw line, followed closely by Da Ben, who pinched his right arm again.
That's when Rasheed Wallace comes up high and the pick-and-roll happens.
"Boom!"
Li Ba bent his elbow and gave it to Da Ben again.
The moment he hit his elbow, Da Ben snorted again, feeling as if he had been hit by an iron rod, and the strength in his hand was loosened.
With this, Li Ba was freed, activated in an instant, and rushed to the free throw line in one step.
Just as Billups bypassed Rasheed Wallace, he bumped into Li Ba's supplementary defense head-on, and a big hand instantly grabbed the basketball that bounced off the floor.
"Oh hoo, a steal happened! The winning horse turned around and went down quickly...the hammer passed the ball...the winning horse crossed the center line...there is no obstacle in front of it...yeah!"
Over the US West Arena, the roar of the Suns commentator sounded like rolling thunder, and then the cheers of the Suns fans.
"Shua!"
Marbury made a layup and hit a goal.
2:7, the Suns lead.
Larry Brown called a timeout.
"Ben, can you do it?" he asked.
The Pistons players all looked at Ben, knowing that the Hammer's elbow was the toughest in the league. If Ben couldn't handle it, the Pistons would be doomed.
"I'll pay him back."
Big Ben didn't answer this question at all, but roared extremely fiercely.
"It's all on you."
Larry Brown's defensive strategy against Li Ba in this game finally returned to single defense.
In the last round where Wallace double-teamed the Hammers, he saw the decisive response of the Suns. It turned out that Marion was directly asked to double-team the ball holder. I will deal with you with a sword.
If Double Wallace can successfully limit the hammers in the end, then this tactic can also be played. After all, controlling the paint area has a greater advantage.
But the effect of double Wallace double-teaming the hammer made him temporarily give up this tactic.
He still maintained the tactic that had been executed well, that is, the tactic of placing the 1st and 5th positions and restricting the 2nd, 3rd and 4th positions.
The timeout ends and the Pistons attack.
On the right wing, Rasheed Wallace pulls out from the low post, backruns, then catches a pass and drives to the paint.
Li Ba broke free from Da Ben's entanglement, and took the initiative to attack to supplement the defense.
But then Rasheed Wallace suddenly passed the ball over the top.
Li Ba immediately turned around, but bumped into the big itself.
Big Ben also took the opportunity to give him an elbow secretly, which made him suffocate.
It turned out that the ball was not passed to Big Ben.
Prince started at the same time as Rasheed Wallace, and when he cut into the paint, he received a pass from the opposite side.
"Go away!"
Li Ba's breath roared in his chest, and the moment he was elbowed, his right elbow also hit the latter's chest.
Da Ben snorted, his body froze involuntarily, and he took half a step back.
Li Ba took the opportunity to forcefully squeeze Daben away and rushed to the basket.
Prince leaped forward and slammed his one-armed tomahawk.
But at this moment, he couldn't help being shocked when he saw that Li Ba had returned to defense.
"Snapped!"
Li Ba pressed it with one palm and stopped everything.
"Get off!"
He made a second effort and pressed Prince.
Prince exclaimed, and with a bang, he fell heavily on the floor, cracking his teeth and screaming in pain.
"yeah!!!!"
The Sun fans cheered, and countless palms shook again.
