Chapter 876 Give Me the Ball! Give Me the Ball!
The starters of the two teams met at the exit. Howard said to Li Ba seriously: "Hammer, I will surprise you today."
"Did Magic prepare a strategy for you overnight?" Li Ba said in surprise.
"That's not true."
Howard said awkwardly: "But they said they would formulate tactics for me. And tonight I will grab enough rebounds and play a strong second offense. Then I feel that my blocking ability is stronger. You have to be careful tonight." , don’t take action in front of me, I won’t hold back.”
"Are you serious?" Li Ba asked.
Nodding, Howard said seriously: "I'm serious."
Li Ba laughed, nodded and said, "The stronger you are, the happier I am. I wish us good luck tonight."
The game started, Li Ba and Howard jumped the ball.
The tonnage of Warcraft has reached 120 kilograms, which is 5 kilograms heavier than Li Ba. He has full physical and athletic talents. He can jump high and fast. He is even one of the few players in the league who can compete with Li Ba in terms of bullet speed. He won. Jump ball this time.
The Magic attacked and the Suns quickly retreated.
Howard came to the basket, but Li Ba didn't push him out and just watched from the right side.
"Give me the ball!"
Raising his right hand, Warcraft shouted excitedly to point guard Nelson.
Nelson glanced at the basket and then looked away.
Li Ba looked at Howard from the side, with a somewhat disappointed look in his eyes and a pitiful look.
The ball then went to Grant Hill.
Hill got the ball on the right wing, faked a break, and forced Ginobili back.
But he didn't take a shot, dribbled the ball, and when Ginobili pressed forward again, he made another breakthrough.
He chose the timing very well, starting when Ginobili was moving and beating the latter in one step.
Even if Hill is not at his peak, this step is now a top step.
"It is indeed the fastest first step in the history of the league."
Li Ba compared it and found that the first step just now was no slower than his first step.
And his first step, placed on the defender, is also a top first step.
How fast was Hill's first step in his prime?
At this time, Marion took a step up from the low post to cover Hill.
Hill turned his foot, changed direction suddenly and hit Marion, and entered the paint area in one step.
Li Ba dropped the monster and rushed towards Hill.
Hill seemed to have been prepared. He stepped into the paint, made an emergency stop, then stood up and shot a jumper.
After Li Ba's first step, he followed up with a small step, jumped up with all his strength, and blocked the shot.
But Hill had already prepared for this shot, and the arc was very high. With Li Ba's current blocking height, he was still a little short of it.
"Pass the ball?"
Li Ba understood in his heart.
As soon as he landed, he immediately turned around, dived back to the basket, turned around and jumped up in one step.
"Hurry up! Come down quickly! Got it!"
Howard looked at the ball sliding down. He also saw Li Ba coming back and urged him crazily in his heart.
As if there were springs under his feet, Howard soared into the sky, jumping fast and high.
When the ball falls, grab it with both hands and smash it forward.
"boom!"
The ball hit the basket and Li Ba's hand swept from the basket almost at the same time.
"yeah!"
After completing the alley-oop dunk, Howard roared excitedly at Li Ba.
Li Ba chuckled, turned around and ran away, almost getting off.
Howard quickly started up and chased after him desperately.
His speed is very fast, which is very fast for the center position, but it is still worse than Li Ba. Li Ba is a small forward's speed. He starts behind and falls further and further away.
Marion served quickly, and when Li Ba rushed through the center line, the ball came over and was caught by his backhand.
Xidu tried his best to defend, but although he was a small forward, he had the body of a power forward. His speed was not as fast as Li Ba's. He was a bit slow and could not catch up.
Hill and Nelson caught up, but the former suffered from constant injuries, and the latter was a point guard, how could he dare to touch Li Ba?
Li Ba dribbled the ball once, carried the ball into the paint area, soared into the sky, and with a bang, smashed the ball into the basket with one arm.
2:2, flat.
"Dwight, don't scream there, you have to stop him in advance!" Magic coach Brian Hill shouted at Warcraft.
"Tony, don't forget your mission!" Then he yelled at power forward Tony Barty.
Magic offense.
"Give me the ball! Give me the ball!"
After dunking a ball over Li Ba's head, Howard was full of confidence and began to ask for the ball continuously.
Li Ba still did not defend with all his strength, allowing Warcraft to easily get close to the basket.
Nelson looked at the location of the monster and then looked away.
Don't pass the ball to the person next to the Hammer!
Don't pass the ball near the hammer!
This is one of the commandments that all point guards must remember now.
At this moment, Rondo took advantage of Nelson's distraction, stretched out his arm, and touched the ball.
However, Nelson reacted quickly and caught the ball out of control. At this time, he could no longer dribble and his teammates were not in a good position, so he had to take action.
Rondo jumped up to block the shot, and Nelson raised his shot height.
Li Ba couldn't score the ball as soon as he saw it. He predicted the landing point, then moved to block the ball in advance and grabbed the rebound.
"Rajan, after the opponent takes a shot, our chance of grabbing a rebound is greater than the opponent's, so you must make it as soon as possible."
Rondo's mind flashed with what assistant coach Tarot said to him repeatedly. After blocking Nelson, he immediately started and went down quickly.
He ran four steps and after crossing the center line, he heard the shout of the boss Hammer, and then immediately looked back and saw that the ball was coming.
"Uh-huh!"
Rondo made a layup.
4:2, the Suns lead.
Magic offense.
Grant Hill got the ball from outside the three-point line on the right wing.
Ginobili focused all his attention and defended himself.
Hill's shot flashed through Li Ba's mind. There were no three-pointers, 50% were two-pointers and two-pointers from far away, 10% were two-pointers from near, and 50% were two-pointers from midfield and two-pointers from far away.
At this time, Hill started to make moves, a simple first step, eating raw Ginobili, who was also a master of breakthroughs.
At this time, Li Ba noticed that Howard beside him was leaving the paint area due to three seconds of attack, so he immediately pounced on Hill.
Hill broke through Ginobili and took two steps to the three-point line with the ball. He saw Li Ba coming to help. At this time, his ball had not yet been lifted from the floor. In the next moment, he would make an emergency stop. Jump shot.
The next moment, Hill jumped up and hit two points.
The moment he took action, he saw the strange hammer rushing towards him. He saw the crazy and indifferent look on Li Ba's face. He felt a huge pressure. He felt like he was a prey. , was targeted by this bloodthirsty monster.
"Snapped!"
There was a slap sound, and under the volleyball hat, the basketball instantly flew upside down and flew into the audience, causing a splash of exclamations.
"Grant, you are too close to the paint area!" Li Ba shouted at Hill.
"call!"
Hill exhaled, turned around and ran towards the three-point line, preparing for the next attack.
Li Ba smiled and turned back to the paint area.
