Chapter 74 Lost

Eagles attack.

Jason Terry has been pulling back and forth outside the three-point line, consuming the offensive time, until twenty seconds later, he made a gesture to pass the ball to Raheem inside.

The Suns players immediately looked at Raheem, seeing that there was no ball, it was a fake pass.

Li Ba stuck in front of Ratliff, with his back to the basket, and it was clear that the ball flew towards Eagles shooting guard Dean Glover.

"penny!"

He couldn't help roaring.

Terry distracted the Suns players with fake passes, and so did Penny.

He looked back at the inside line, and at this turn, Glover, the player he was guarding, suddenly took a step back and left his defensive area. When he turned around, he saw that Glover had received the ball , Jumping outside the three-point line.

"Fuck!"

Li Ba cursed inwardly in depression.

"Shua!"

The explosive Glover made his twelfth pitch, scoring 28 points over Joe Johnson and Penny Hardaway.

"It's over!" Frank shook his head.

Today's Sun was defeated by this shooting guard who he didn't care about.

Dean Glover, the Hawks were selected with the 20th pick in the first round of 1999. Last season, he averaged 25 minutes per game in the Hawks, averaged 8.5 shots per game, hit 3.6 times, and hit 42.7% of the field. He averaged 9.7 points and 3.7 points per game. rebounds.

He never thought that this average scoring player would score 28 points against the Suns. Almost 18 points, 18 points more than his average per game, can this still not lose?

"Papa..."

Contrary to Frank, in front of the Hawks bench, Stotts was smiling and clapping his hands.

This tactic was designed by him.

He knew that the Suns would definitely think he would hit Raheem, so he trusted Glover's touch today, and Glover rewarded him with a three-pointer.

"well!"

The audience at the American West Arena sighed.

With 7 points behind and 47.2 seconds left in the clock, Frank still called a timeout and arranged a three-point tactic. Marion and Marbury made the shots, and Xiaobawang and Li Ba did not play in the low post, but did a pick-and-roll in the high post.

In order to grab time, Marbury quickly advanced to the frontcourt, made a pick-and-roll with the bully on the right-wing three-point line and then shot a three-pointer.

Unfortunately, three points were missed.

"Snapped!"

After pushing back Ratliff, Li Ba grabbed the 21st rebound under the basket.

Ratliff immediately pounced, but Li Ba had already turned, knocked him away, jumped up, and smashed the ball into the basket.

"boom!"

heavy buckle.

"flute!"

In the reasonable collision zone, Ratliff was hit while moving, blocking a foul.

95:90, the Suns trailed by 5 points.

The time is also multiplied by 38.6 seconds.

Standing on the free throw line, Li Ba felt a little chills in his heart, because he remembered a tactic called shark-cutting tactic, also known as slashing-man tactic.

If his strength improves in the future, will he encounter this tactic?

"Grab the rebound!" Frank shouted from the sidelines.

"Swipe!" Li Ba made an extra penalty.

When Frank saw it, he turned around angrily.

Damn the hammer, you don't make a penalty when you should make a penalty, but you make a penalty when you shouldn't. How can you do this?

Li Ba was also a little wronged, I heard you and didn't intend to invest in it, but it ran in by itself, can't blame me?

95:91, the Suns trailed by 4 points.

Eagles attack.

Terry still delayed the attack time, and the shark-slashing tactics could no longer be used in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. The Suns could only watch the time slowly drain.

In the 21st second, Terry pretended to pass the ball again to distract Marbury, but then made a surprise attack from the top arc and hit a three-pointer, 98:91, completely shooting out the sun.

Afterwards, the Suns attacked, and Marion scored a three-pointer. There was nothing to make up for it. The Eagles finally attacked and used up all the time, 98:94. In the end, the Suns lost 4 points at home.

After this game, the Suns fell out of the top eight in the Western Conference with a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, ranking ninth.

"well!"

At the end of the game, the remaining fans are full of regrets.

The fourth quarter of chasing points made their blood boil, but unfortunately they didn't do their best.

Li Ba sat quietly on the bench, drinking water, and did not leave in a hurry.

The fans were exiting the arena, and from time to time someone would come over to say hello to him, and from time to time he would get some paper balls stuffed by some chicks.

Holding his own data sheet in his hand, he felt a little regretful.

9 points, 21 rebounds, 4 blocks, 6 steals and 5 assists, can it be considered luxurious?

But it was useless, lost, and lost to a big team. According to the media, this data is at least two-thirds of the water.

"However, even if we win, it is estimated that this statistic is quite impressive in the eyes of the media, right?" He laughed at himself.

However, this game gave him some other ideas.

That is, he can actually rely on defense and play quite luxurious statistics. Even, use his defense to decide the outcome of a game, as long as his defense is better, better, better.

"Let's go, rookie."

Marbury greeted.

"Um."

Before Li Ba left, he glanced at Dean Glover, the best player of the game who was being interviewed by reporters.

Today, he and the Suns lost to this man.

With 28 points, he stepped on the floor with his luxurious data, making it worthless.

Chen Hong and other domestic reporters did not come up to interview Li Ba. They thought Li Ba must be in a bad mood, so they all went to the press conference.

"This rebound is about to enter the top ten rebounds in NBA single-game history, right?"

"Steals, he's playing a center forward, and he has so many steals, how did he do it?"

In a certain apartment in Houston, after receiving data from some reporters in Phoenix, including Zhang Lili, a group of reporters and commentators jumped up excitedly and talked a lot.

"This data is close, 10+20!" After being excited, Zhang Lili stayed for a full ten seconds and then sighed.

"Oh, it's close, 10+20+5+5+5, absolutely!" Yang Yi also sighed.

"This defense, coupled with Dazhi or Yao, will we be in the top eight in Athens next year?" Someone excitedly asked.

"Marion, Hammer, follow me." Half an hour later, in the locker room, Frank greeted.

In this game, Marion performed well, making 7 of 14 shots, including three three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points and 6 rebounds.

Little Overlord was lost in this field. He made 6 of 18 shots and 4 of 6 free throws. He barely scored 16 points and 4 rebounds.

Marbury made 5 of 16 shots, scored 11 points, 7 assists and 1 rebound, and was ashamed to attend the press conference.

Penny made 5 of 14 shots and scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.

Aside from turnovers, Joe Johnson's contributions were negligible.

At the press conference, apart from Glover, Li Ba still received some attention from the media.
