NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 151 Sealed!Still sealed!

During the break during the festival, Ao was wiping his sweat, and Reggie Miller stood in front of him expressionlessly.

Just when Xiao Ao felt uncomfortable and wanted to cover his head with a towel, Reggie Miller squatted down and said in a gentle voice: "Listen, Jermaine, on this team, you are the boss, and I am not the boss." .”

Xiao Ao opened his mouth, and a look of astonishment flashed on the baby's face.

Is this what Big Mouth Reggie Miller said to him?Isn't he in a reprimanding tone?

"Since you are the boss, then you should assume the responsibility of being the boss." Reggie Miller continued.

"I will. Yes, Reggie, I will do it." Xiao Ao said firmly.

"I believe you can do it because you're an All-Star on both ends. So, Jermaine, go and blast that rookie offensively, and then crush him defensively, if he dares to attack."

Reggie Miller said in a bewitching tone.

"I will."

Jermaine O'Neill glanced sideways at Li Ba, nodded emphatically.

"Okay, now I'll tell you how to deal with that rookie."

Reggie Miller patted Xiao Ao's shoulder with approval, and continued:

"On the offensive end, you can pull out to shoot, you can shoot him dead, we will do a good pick-and-roll for you, and attract the defense. On the defensive end, go to the low post to hold him, don't let him get close to the basket easily. If your strength Not enough, you can try to cut off his line of receiving the ball. Your pace moves faster, and you can defend around the front. You are so tall and have excellent wingspan. If you defend around the front, he will be helpless."

"OK, Reggie, I listen to you." Jermaine O'Neal nodded.

Reggie Miller stood up and exchanged a relieved look with coach Rick Carlisle.

The boss of others kicks the former boss away, and then takes the position by himself. He can control everything on and off the field, while his own boss can only rely on coaxing.

They all glanced at Li Ba who was chatting and laughing with his teammates on the bench next to him in unison, shook their heads and sighed, this is the gap between the boss and the boss.

"flute!"

The fourth quarter begins.

Both teams were starting lineups in the first quarter.

The Pacers serve from the baseline.

For the first ball, the Pacers made a high pick-and-roll, and Jermaine made a mid-range shot and made a hit.

Li Ba brought it up, but the pick-and-roll had already been completed. Pacers point guard Kenny Anderson broke into the paint after taking it apart. He could only switch defenses with Marbury to defend Anderson.

Although the pick-and-roll tactic may seem simple, it is really difficult to defend if it is used well.

Against Jerome, with his shot height, there are not many Suns who can defend him. Marion's physical condition can barely defend Jerome, but his defensive skills are still weak. The only one who can really defend him is Li Ba.

If Li Bashang's speed is fast enough to block Xiao Ao and his point guard before they are separated, that's fine. As soon as they are separated, he must switch to the player who broke into the penalty area after the separation, and he cannot defend Xiao Ao in the high position.

And if he doesn't play the low post at the beginning and follows Xiao Ao, it is still a matter of speed. If Xiao Ao moves around within the three-point line, he will not be able to keep up, and it will be even more troublesome.

So Frank was scratching his head a little bit about this simple tactic.

Xiao Ao didn't score many points in the whole game, but in this position, not counting the 8 points in the second quarter, this is the second time he scored.

The Suns were attacking, but Li Ba still didn't ask for the ball. His teammates felt okay today, so he just wanted to do a good job of defense and play his energy on the defensive end.

James Posey played 25 games for the Denver Nuggets last season, averaging 13 shots per game and scoring 14 points per game.

In the second half of the season, he was traded to the Mosaic team, and the number of shots dropped sharply to 7. In a few games with the Grizzlies this season, he only had 9 shots.

But today, with the support of the Hammer boss, he has made 12 shots and is almost catching up with the Nuggets.

He made 12 of 5 shots, including two three-pointers, two of three free throws, and scored 14 points. Now he is asking for the ball on the left-wing three-point line again.

Without hesitation, Marbury gave it.

"Shh!"

The opposing player Al Harrington couldn't produce enough defensive energy for him on the defensive end. A simple three-threat, fake and real shot, he made the third three-pointer of the field.

57:71, the Suns led by 14 points at home.

"Old Ma, give him the ball next time!"

The moment the basketball was caught, Li Ba's roar sounded.

James Posey raised his fist, and he laughed when he was not used to smiling.

"Boss, don't forget me!" cried Joe Johnson.

He also took 5 shots today, and he felt good, and he also hit [-] shots.

"Today's James Posey has become the third offensive point of the Suns. I didn't expect it."

On the sidelines, in front of the Pacers bench, Rick Carlisle frowned.

But even if he expected it, there was nothing he could do. Al Harrington was strong offensively and weak defensively. In this case, it depended on whether Harrington could stand up and score more points than Posey.

And so far, Harrington made 9 of 5 shots and has scored 12 points. He is 5 points behind Posey and is more efficient, but the points lost in this position are not small.

The Pacers attacked, Jermaine Ao once again used a high pick-and-roll, misplaced Marbury, and scored two points.

59:71, the Pacers trailed by 12 points.

"Jermaine, that's it, beat that rookie!" Reggie Miller shouted excitedly as his boss rose up.

The situation is still the same. After Li Ba switched to defend the pick-and-roll and broke through to Kenny Anderson, the latter passed back, which was simple and effective.

Except for Li Ba, Xiao Ao's fight against the Suns was a dislocation effect.

The best pick-and-roll team in the league is the Jazz.

The Jazz relied on this simplest pick-and-roll tactic to let black and white double evils run rampant in the league for an era. It can be seen that the pick-and-roll tactic is used well and with the right people, and it is as powerful as the triangle tactic with Jordan and O'Neal.

So in fact, it doesn't matter whether the tactics are complex or simple, it only depends on whether the person who uses the tactics is suitable.

Xiao Ao is suitable for this simple tactic, but he scratched his head when it was too complicated.

He has an absolutely accurate mid-range shot, coupled with Reggie Miller next to him, and other teammates attract defense, so the Suns dare not double-team him too much, and can only let him get whatever he wants in the high position.

On the next possession, Joe Johnson hit an iron, Reggie Miller responded with an iron, and then James Posey responded with an iron, and it was the Pacers' turn to attack again.

This time, Li Ba didn't play the low post anymore, and Xiao Ao didn't go down anyway. He just entered and exited the paint at the waist position, which was one meter higher than the low post.

"Stephen, keep up, don't let him hit the pick-and-roll!" In front of the Suns bench, Frank yelled at Stephen Marbury.

A few pick-and-rolls, because Marbury's defense went wrong, starting from him, the Pacers point guard got a chance to pick-and-roll with Jermaine O'Neal, Frank was a little annoyed.

At the top arc, Pacers point guard Kenny Anderson once again bypassed Marbury to enter the high position and played a pick-and-roll with Jermaine O'Neill.

But this time, Marbury was desperate, and Anderson's breakthrough was unsuccessful.

When Xiao Ao saw it, he immediately moved towards the top arc and took the initiative to build a wall.

This time, Marbury couldn't help it, Jermaine's pick-and-roll was really a wall for him, Kenny Anderson entered the three-point line, and then went straight to the free throw line.

Behind, Xiao Ao, who blocked Marbury, also immediately went down to return to the high position.

Li Ba was already blocked in the paint area, about one meter before the reasonable collision area, one meter higher than his previous position.

This position, two meters away from the back basket, two meters away from the free throw line, the basket and the high area one meter above the free throw line are all within his locked area.

Of course, this position has weaker protection for the back basket. If someone slips to attack the basket, he must make the fastest reaction to protect the basket.

Kenny Anderson made a breakthrough, but to his surprise, the Suns center Hammer suddenly gave way to the direction of his breakthrough and let him go straight to the basket.

At this moment, he either passed back to Xiao Ao according to the tactical requirements, or directly rushed through the hammer to attack the basket.

Li Ba stepped aside, he didn't stare at Anderson, and he didn't stare at Xiao Ao at the free throw line, his eyes seemed to be out of focus.

But in fact, he has already concentrated his attention, and his locking skills are firmly locked on the basketball.

This kind of locking is even better than his eyes, because the sight of the eyes will be blocked many times, but the locking will not.

Right now, he's facing the right wing, and Anderson dribbles with his right hand, and he can't see the basketball all the time, but the lock can.

"return!"

In an instant, Kenny Anderson made his decision.

He can't ruin a play with a ball and risk being thrown out of the starting lineup.

"Whoosh!"

He accelerated towards the basket, and even jumped up, making a direct attack on the basket.

But Li Ba didn't look at Kenny Anderson. When the basketball flew to the free throw line, he turned sideways at the fastest speed, and then took the first step forward.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Ao catches the ball.

He does have a habit. He doesn't have the habit of shooting the ball immediately. He keeps the basketball in his hands. This is a stagnation.

"Hurry up!"

At this moment of stagnation, Xiao Ao's teammates on the field, especially Reggie Miller, were about to shout out in anxiety.

Because they all saw the Suns rookie center who blocked Jermaine four times in the first quarter rushing towards Jerome. In the current league, no one would underestimate that guy's ability to block shots. If he didn't make a shot, it would be too late.

Li Ba started the first step head-on, one meter at a time, and Xiao Ao was on the free throw line, just within his reach, so he immediately jumped up after starting the first step, and went straight to Xiao Ao.

Xiao Ao jumped up, his left hand was about to be raised high, but he found that he could not see the basket, what he saw was a huge body, which made him feel overwhelming.

In addition, there is a ferocious face, a pair of fierce eyes, and a giant palm that slaps.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba slapped the basketball flying, and then knocked Xiao Ao down with a bang. The latter slipped two meters backwards, looking panicked.

"Aww!!!!!!!"

The Meixi Arena suddenly cheered, and countless palms shook at the same time.

"Six blocks!"

The roar of the Suns commentator sounded immediately, driving countless fans, and the roar of "six blocks" resounded throughout the audience.

The basketball flew upside down to the Suns' front court, and Marbury, Joe Johnson, and James Posey went down quickly.

But unfortunately, Li Ba's strength was too great, and he slapped the cap with all his strength in depression, and flew directly out of the baseline. The three of them ran to the frontcourt and stopped, turned around and shrugged their shoulders at Li Ba.

"Kenny, pay attention to the offensive cover!"

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle yells at Kenny Anderson.

Kenny Anderson nodded.

It is true that he had a problem just now. He should not have gone to the basket just now, but directly changed direction to block Li Ba after returning the pass.
