NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 405 One hat after another

In the 8th minute, the Cavaliers attacked.

It was the same tactic again, James took advantage of Big Z's pick-and-roll, went directly to the basket from a high position with the ball, broke through Marion's supplementary defense arbitrarily, and rushed to the basket.

This time Li Ba had already prepared in advance, guarding the basket under Varejao's entanglement, raised his arms, and jumped up to face James.

Varejao secretly pulled Li Ba's jersey, but couldn't hold it, and could only watch him take off.

"boom!"

Li Ba firmly pressed his palms on the thrown basketball, and at the same time, the two of them opened in response.

When pushed away by the reaction force, Li Ba grabbed the ball with both palms and forcibly grabbed the ball, then landed, his right foot did not move, and his left foot took half a step back to stand firm.

On the opposite side, James landed two staggers and sat directly on the floor.

"Yeah! The hammer blocked 4 shots in a single quarter, and he gave it to LeBron James." The roar of the Suns' on-site commentator sounded immediately.

At the end of the first quarter, at 18:29, the Suns led by 11 points.

李坝打满一节，单节3投3中，2罚1中，拿下7分6篮板1助攻2抢断4盖帽1犯规的数据。

There were three offenses behind him, one was a second offense after grabbing an offensive rebound, one was an alley-oop, and the last time he asked for the ball, he got the ball and was cut by Varejao.

Substitute time for the second quarter.

The Cavaliers boss James really wanted to win the game and played the entire second quarter.

Throughout the second quarter, he crazily rushed into the Suns' penalty zone, making 7 of 4 shots and 7 of 5 free throws. He scored 13 points in a single quarter, causing Chandler to make 2 fouls, as many as 1 foul, which was very lethal.

Under his leadership, the Cavaliers regained 6 points in the second quarter, 44:49, only 5 points behind.

"The defense of the Suns' bench lineup is very strong, but compared with the main lineup, it is much worse in hardness. Chandler is not a very tough defensive person, at least not." Zhang Lili said.

"But in fact, this is already very strong. Last season, on the bench, the Suns often lost [-] points in a single quarter, giving the main team hard work to resist the pit. So far this season, there has been no such situation. And there is no such thing as James. A strong striker, or that kind of strong inside attack, plays against an average team, and the bench lineup is also very good, often making money." Yu Jia said.

Come back at halftime and the game restarts.

The two sides returned to the starting lineup in the first quarter.

Knights attack.

James went to the right wing and asked for the ball after entering the wing.

Varejao actively went up to do the pick-and-roll, blocked Battier, and then James plunged into Li Ba's defense behind him.

"Snapped!"

When James broke through with the dribble, Li Ba, who switched defenses, staggered past him, and with his left hand down, he grabbed the basketball that bounced off the floor.

The sun began to set a fast break.

"Damn rookie!"

Cavaliers coach Paul Silas scolded Varejao on his own initiative to pick and roll.

With James' breakthrough ability, there is no need for this pick-and-roll at all. The tactical position he arranged for Varejao is to contain the hammer as much as possible, so that James does not have to face the defense of the hammer and gets a chance to attack.

And this pick-and-roll, instead, let James defend with the hammer head-on. This is a tactical pick-and-roll with the cart before the horse.

Looking for a dead ball opportunity, he replaced Varejao.

Varejao was confused, I played well, I was active, I was full of energy, why did I end up playing?But he still has to come down.

"Rookie, go sit on the bench and think about life." When Varejao was off the court, Li Ba gave him a trash talk.

"none of your business?"

Varejao glared at Li Ba, said a word, and left the stage with his head held high.

Drew Gooden enters.

Knights attack.

James got the ball on the right wing again.

Relying on tyrannical strength, Battier was violently crushed, and James rushed to the paint area.

Marion defended the big Z in the high position, and Li Ba stood in the low position on the right wing, ushering in the impact of the Cavaliers boss.

One step up, Li Ba blocked James' breakthrough line.

"squeak!"

With force under his feet, James changed direction downward.

Li Ba took half a step back and stood in front of James again. The latter had no time to react, and the two collided instantly.

James took advantage of the huge kinetic energy to knock Li Ba back half a step, but he was also knocked back half a step, and the breakthrough failed.

The whistle didn't sound and the game continued.

Li Ba stepped back with his left foot and immediately stabilized himself.

At this time, he saw that James lost control of the ball, and the ball was bouncing on the floor next to James. He immediately took the first step forward, stepped forward with his right foot in front of him, bent over and stretched his arms, and grabbed the ball with his right hand. Grab it in your hand and sweep past James.

"Beautiful steal! James' tyrannical breakthrough was blocked by a flood control dam, and our basket is protected by a flood control dam..."

The roar of the Sun team's on-site commentator suddenly sounded.

The sun was about to set, and Marbury assisted Barbosa to score a goal.

"James is still a little tender now. He is still far away from single-handedly playing the hammer." Barkley joked.

"He needs to gain weight, and his basic strength needs to be stronger to have a chance against the hammer." Kenny Smith said.

"I think it's better to shoot, he lacks this." Barkley said.

"You're right. There are not many people in the league who can single-handedly defend against the Hammers. Especially for guys like James who don't have enough shooting ability and can only hit the paint, the Hammers are more comfortable defending." Kenny Smith said .

The knights attack again.

This time James didn't ask for the ball, and he honestly ran without the ball on the left wing, looking for opportunities to cut in.

Opportunities were always there, and then Big Z kept jumping from the high post and made 3 of 2 shots over Marion's head. Then Li Ba switched defenses.

In this way, Li Ba left the low post, and James got the opportunity to cut to the basket.

48:55, the Suns lead by 7 points.

Knights attack.

Big Z catches the ball high.

James immediately squeezed Battier out of the way and cut into the paint.

Gooden also dropped out from the low post on the right wing at the same time, taking Marion away and leaving the Suns' lane empty.

Simple pass and cut tactics are not easy to defend.

At this moment, Li Ba has to take care of both high and low positions.

He takes a step back.

"You want to lie to me again?" Big Z secretly said.

He missed the shot and took the opportunity to pass the ball.

With this pass, Li Ba suddenly rose violently, blocking the block with a single palm of his right arm.

"predict!"

The distance was too far and the ball was too high. Li Ba was not the kind of jumper who could bounce more than one meter. He barely touched the ball. The ball changed its trajectory and jumped up.

"Here comes the cap! Number 5!"

The Suns on-site commentator shouted quickly.

James rushed to the basket to take a look, and hurried up to grab the ball.

Battier, who was half a step behind, was directly and brutally knocked away. The weight difference between the two was more than ten kilograms, and there was also a big difference in strength and quality, so they couldn't fight against each other.

"Snapped!"

James jumped up behind Li Ba, grabbed the ball, then turned and rushed to the basket.

Li Ba landed and turned around, followed closely behind.

Big Z followed behind.
