NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 276 Important G5 Battle

Duncan and Li Ba are still outside the team and have made little contribution.

On the offensive end of the Suns, Duncan didn't care about anything else. He just clung to Li Ba, preventing him from moving in the paint or grabbing rebounds.

After going through the first quarter, Li Ba didn't dare to ask for the ball in the second quarter, for fear of making mistakes.

On the offensive end of the Spurs, Duncan doesn't attack, just pulls to the outside wing, takes Li Ba, if Li Ba leaves him, he immediately wants the ball to attack, he scored four points in the second quarter, that's what he did, 3 shots 2 in.

上半场结束，邓肯3投2中，拿下4分4篮板1次抢断1盖帽1犯规，李坝2投1中，3罚2中，拿下4分7篮板2助攻3失误1犯规。

Li Ba wanted to switch defenses in the second quarter and asked Dazhi to defend Duncan, but Duncan followed immediately, and he didn't have Duncan's scoring ability, so he couldn't pull him outside, so switching defenses was useless. Where did he go? On the other side, Duncan will follow where he is, making him unable to do any work.

"No. 21, you are such a big pest!"

When he returned to the locker room after the game, Li Ba was extremely depressed and complained to Duncan.

"Pest No. 68, today I will make you want to die!"

Duncan giggled, extremely silvery, and even spat back.

"What the hell, you're not Alba!"

Looking at the proud Spurs player, Li Ba cursed again in depression.

"The Hammer was too passive today, and was completely locked by Duncan. Duncan is really selfless. He sacrificed all his data just to lock the Hammer." Zhang Lili sighed.

"Zhang Laoli, analyze and analyze, how should the Suns play in the second half?" Yu Jia said.

"This is Popovich's exchange strategy. Duncan exchanged the hammer and let others kill the Suns. In terms of rebounds alone, the Suns only caught 18 in the first half, and the Spurs had 23. This is completely different from the first three games. The other way around, how can they not lose? In the second quarter, the Suns' players were already playing their own way, and they had no rules at all. That is to say, the Spurs didn't feel good, otherwise they would have lost even more.

what to do?There is only one way to return the Hammers to the team, rebuild the Suns' defensive system, and rebuild a flood control dam.What should I do specifically, Duncan, if this is any other super giant, he will definitely not do this, ouch, I really have no good way. "

Zhang Reasonable said.

"It seems that Hammer is facing Duncan now, and it's still not good enough!" Yu Jia sighed.

"Duncan pulls out on the defensive end. It's not that the hammer can't defend him. It's the same defense, but if you lose the paint, you can't grab the offensive rebound. On the offensive end, what kind of work is Duncan doing? He is clinging to the hammer, even the coolie It's not even a job, it's just a bag, it doesn't look like a super giant."

Zhang Lili shook his head and laughed wryly.

In the second half, Frank still didn't come up with a suitable tactic, and the players on the court played head-to-head and fought on their own.

75:99, the Suns lost 24 points in their second home game.

弗兰克第四节没让李坝上了，他三节时间2投1中，3罚2中，4分11篮板3助攻3失误1犯规。

Duncan also only played 3 quarters, leaving Li Ba to rest for a quarter.

He had the same bleak statistics as Li Ba. He made 3 of 2 shots, scored 4 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 foul. He also picked up two rebounds in the third quarter. I want to die.

Although he didn't contribute much, Parker and Ginobili scored 52 points together, and Ginobili scored 32 points, which was extremely impressive.

Marbury and Marion both scored [-] points for the Suns, but they couldn't help the team.

After the game, the Suns had 35 rebounds and the Spurs had 42.The Suns made 26 turnovers and the Spurs had only 15.

After the game, the Spurs were full of confidence, and the Suns were at a loss.

"We lost this game, all the responsibility is on me, I can't provide enough protection for the team." In the post-match interview, Li Ba took all the responsibility.

In the post-match press conference, he said again: "Tim showed a real sense of responsibility as the core of the team. He did the dirtiest and tiring work of the team. In the matchup with him, I lost , I admit that I am not yet capable of playing against him, I am not strong enough."

On the way home, Li Ba asked Alba to drive, and he called Dayao on the phone.

"Did you lose badly?" Dayao teased.

"Fuck, Tim Duncan really doesn't look like a super giant, not a thing, too shameless! No matter how great he is, I don't accept him, and he stalks and beats him all the time. He is no different from a little bastard. Drop it. Dayao, you have a lot of experience, give me an idea." Li Ba complained.

"Your main problem is being entangled by Duncan and losing control of the paint. It's easy to handle. Put a big man to carry Duncan. The first task of the inside partner is to cover you in the paint and entangle Duncan so that he can't stalk you again. .” Dayao said.

Hammer only felt his eyes light up, yes, Duncan stalks me, why don't I let someone stalk you first, why didn't I think it was so simple?What a fan of the authorities!

"Ba, is it Yao from Houston?"

Seeing that Li Ba ended the call, Alba asked.

"Yes, he gave me an idea, I think it's not bad." Li Ba smiled.

"I hope you can win the G5 battle." Alba laughed.

The next day, the media responded enthusiastically.

The famous basketball commentator Craig Sager wrote in his column: "Look, as long as Tim is serious, that villain is like a clown, completely exposing his poor strength. It is unbelievable that the DPOY was awarded to this clown!"

The well-known basketball commentator Christine Laidlow, who has always supported Li Ba, also published a column article, in which he said: "The person who can force the Spurs and Duncan to use rogue tactics has only a little bit of poor strength? "

Barkley also expressed his personal opinion. In an interview with the media, he said: "The Suns lost because the team's defensive system has not been fully established. It is precisely this point that the Spurs are strong in. They also belong to the defensive team. The G4 game is for the Spurs. The strongest point hits the weakest point of the sun.

If Frank can't solve Duncan's sticky Hammer play, the Suns will have a similarly difficult time in the rest of the series.Regarding the personal performance of the Hammer, the data speaks for itself. He is similar to Duncan, and Popovich's exchange tactics are very successful. "

Jordan also accepted media interviews and said: "The rookie Hammer's low-post scoring methods are not enough, and his scoring ability is not stable. He can score [-] points in a game, or he may only score two points. This is his flaw on the offensive end. .

If he can figure that out, he could play off Duncan on offense.If he can't, he can't become a real superstar, but only a blue-collar superstar.

On the defensive end, last night's game proved that he can't solve the stalking trick, which is a good way to deal with him, haha! "

The domestic media was equally hyped, not only using the battle of Tianwangshan to describe the G5 battle between the Suns and the Spurs, but also hyped Li Ba's DPOY and three personal data kings. Although he lost the G4 game, Li Ba's reputation in China And influence, is still high, has not lost to Dayao at all.

In the United States, the media's evaluation of Li Ba did not fluctuate too much because of yesterday's big defeat. After all, this was only his rookie season. After all, he also exchanged Duncan.

And after the four-game series, with two wins and two losses, he averaged 42 shots in 7.5 minutes per game, made 20 of 14 free throws in total, and averaged 15 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists, 4.5 steals, 5.5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls per game. Except for a slight decrease in the number of shots, from playing time to turnovers and fouls, all statistics have exceeded the regular season, and the performance in the playoffs is beyond doubt.
