NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 218 Your Smile?

At 8:30, the game started.

Spurs starting lineup: Rasu Nesterovic at No. [-], Tim Duncan at No. [-], Hedo Turkoglu at No. [-], Bruce Bowen at No. [-], Tony Parker at No. [-] .

The starting lineup of the Suns includes Li Ba at No. [-], Sean Marion at No. [-], James Posey at No. [-], Joe Johnson at No. [-], and Stephen Marbury at No. [-].

The Spurs sent out the most commonly used starting lineup in the regular season this season, with Duncan as the first scoring point, Parker as the second scoring point, Hedo as the fourth scoring point, and Rasu as the fifth scoring point, and Ginobili as the third scoring point. six people.

The height on the field is also enough, except for Parker, all of them are more than two meters, and small forward Turkoglu is also 208 cm.This small forward is already two centimeters taller than Li Ba.

"Iron Hammer, the paint area is handed over to you. Now your ability to defend against the paint area has improved a bit. You must timely assist and supplement Duncan's defense."

Before playing, Frank told Li Ba to start, and then said to the crowd: "Three-two defense, the inside line is handed over to the Hammer, and the outside line is mainly defending Parker's breakthrough and mid-range shots. Stephen, after his breakthrough, he made a basket shot and two points from the distance. Takes up 56% of his shots, so focus on those two distances."

"On the offensive end, the hammer depends on the situation and focuses on defense. If you can't limit Duncan, you have to strengthen the energy on the offensive end to make up for the lost points on the defensive end."

On the Spurs side, Popovich is also giving the final tactical advice: "Council defense, everyone knows our purpose today, to find out the bottom of that rookie."

"He is fierce, but also very cunning, Shaq told me." Duncan said with a serious face.

After being threatened in the face by Li Ba, he was really not in a good mood.

The game started, Li Ba and Duncan jumped the ball.

"Hey, Tim, how many points do you plan to score against Sean today?" Li Ba asked.

Marion in the back has a dark face, what do you mean Hammer?This is a complete disbelief in my defensive ability!

Duncan twitched his face, didn't speak, and smiled copiously.

Seeing Shifo Duncan's smile, Li Ba was surprised and said, "No wonder you don't smile, that's how it is."

"How?" Duncan asked in surprise.

"It's disrespectful to smile so smugly!" Li Ba said.

"Pfft!"

Except for Duncan who was stunned and burst out laughing, including the Spurs.

Riding Duncan in a daze, Li Ba won the jump ball.

The Suns attacked, and Marbury held the ball and advanced to the top arc, waiting for Li Ba to settle down.

Li Ba was positioned low on the left wing, facing Spurs center Rasu.

Rasu is 213 cm tall and weighs 112 kg. He is a Slovenian. He was the No. 98 pick in the first round of 18. He has a 6+5 career and averaged 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per game. He has a certain defensive strength, but his strength is only average. The Spurs have Duncan backing him up. If he wasn't in the Spurs, he wouldn't be able to play the starting center.

For the first ball, Li Ba was about to hit one, but he stuck Rasu and asked for the ball.

The right winger is low, seeing Li Ba asking for the ball, Duncan stared at him.

"Oh!"

Li Ba arched after receiving the ball, but Lasu couldn't bear it, and took half a step back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Ba didn't waste his physical energy to make another round, and immediately turned around and slid to the bottom, entering the paint area from Lasu's side.

"Oops!"

Duncan, who was ready to come over to help defend at any time, knew he had been fooled. He thought Li Ba would continue to shoot, and he would shoot directly to the basket, but he didn't expect to shoot just once.

Li Ba stepped into the paint area in one step, stepped on the reasonable collision area in the second step, jumped a foot, and dunked heavily with one arm.

At this moment, Duncan had already squeezed away Marion and rushed to the basket, but he was half a beat too late, and couldn't stop Li Ba from smashing the basket.

"boom!"

Li Ba scored the first goal for the Suns.

"Aww!!!!!!!"

Cheers erupted from the American West Arena.

"Oh, congratulations to the hammer for scoring the first goal and scoring a double dunk!" the Suns' on-site commentator roared loudly.

"Needless to say strength, his turning speed is not bad, his explosive power is not bad, his first step in the front is fast, his sufficient wingspan and palm length make his dunk very fast, and it is difficult to be blocked..."

Through this ball, both Duncan on the court and Popovich off the court came to some conclusions.

"In only forty or so games, the Hammer has completed another sublimation. If he belongs to the strength of the fringe players in the league at Rock Park, then when he enters the league a few months later, he will jump directly to the strength of the main players. This is the first The first sublimation. But now, he is the absolute strength of the team's core player, he is really qualified to be called a star, and this is the second sublimation."

Also, through this ball, Frank also had some ideas.

The Spurs attack and Parker advances.

The No. 01 pick in the first round of 28, with the same pick as Barbosa, has better luck than Barbosa. He became the team's main point guard in his rookie season, scoring 9+4. With a stat of 15+5, this season continues the performance of last season, and he is already regarded as the league's first-class point guard.

Unlike the previous two seasons, he reduced his post-drive layups, increased his near two-point attempts with his pull-up jumper and lob shot, and also increased his far two-point attempts, which also increased his Offensive suddenness and menace and variety.

He has a very fast first step, a top-like breakthrough and subsequent turnaround throw, excellent speed change rhythm control, and a stable emergency stop jumper near the free throw line. These are his maturing weapons.

The small French sports car advanced to the top arc and did not stop here. When Marbury defended, it pulled to the left wing.

Marbury followed, Parker suddenly turned around and returned to the middle, and then bypassed James Posey at the free throw line, and broke into the paint from the right end of the free throw line, that is, the right elbow area.

At this time, Marbury had been thrown away, James Posey was entangled by Spurs small forward Hedo, Marion, who was low on the right wing, had no choice but to step up to defend, and the Spurs scored the first point, and Duncan was empty.

Li Ba saw Parker go around the right elbow to break through from the low post on the left wing, and immediately entered the basket. At this time, Parker passed to Duncan.

He was about to adjust his position to defend Duncan, who immediately took a step forward into the paint after receiving the ball, then jumped directly, and sent the ball to the board with his right hand.

The action is not too fast, but the connection is very coherent. He has no time to block the shot and can only watch the basketball hit the board and go into the basket.

2:2, a tie.

In the next half quarter, Li Ba stopped attacking and concentrated on the defensive end.

After half a quarter, the two teams tied at 13.

The number of shots, the Suns 13 times, the Spurs 10 times, the latter hit a little higher.

In terms of rebounds, there were a total of 13 rebounds, the Suns grabbed 8, of which Li Ba grabbed 5, and the Spurs grabbed 5, of which Duncan grabbed 2.

Li Ba has not been involved in more defense, he has been observing the Spurs, from the defensive end to the offensive end.

The Spurs did not directly attack the basket in the first half, but this is also in line with the characteristics of the Spurs.

Duncan didn't do much offense, and Parker didn't drive to the basket and perform his spinning top, but pulled up a jumper on the edge of the paint.

Halfway through the quarter, the Spurs took the initiative to ask for a timeout.
