NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 433 Make my opponent unhappy, this is my job and duty

On the afternoon of the 27th, when Sun arrived at the hotel, Li Ba received a call from Duncan, saying that he would like to have dinner.

In the evening, in a western restaurant, the two chatted while eating.

"Hammer, you are right, that kind of foul must have a strong response." Duncan laughed.

"Tim, please don't laugh, please? I'm going to take away your silver tricks. It's too lethal. You make the guests here feel unsafe. Be careful, the boss will drive you out."

Li Ba said with a haughty face.

"Okay, hehe, okay, I know I'm not very good at laughing, my laughing muscles may not grow well, but I actually like to laugh, because I can find happiness in many things..."

Duncan raised his face helplessly, and while cutting up the sausage, he said with a meaty smile.

"Will you participate in the next Olympics?"

Li Ba was also slicing the sausage, interrupting Duncan's self-talk, and asked casually.

"Next time?"

Duncan was startled, and suddenly remembered the disastrous defeat in the Olympics, and sighed: "Hammer, you make me unhappy."

"It's my job and duty to make my opponent unhappy." Li Ba smiled.

"For your words, I will participate." Duncan said with a straight face.

Li Ba put down the knife and fork, raised his hands, and said shakingly: "Then I will press you to death again."

Duncan stared at Li Ba for a while, nodded, and continued cutting sausages.

The next night, the game started, and the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Posey, Marbury.

Spurs: Rasu Nesterovic, Duncan, Bowen, Ginobili, Parker.

The Spurs' previous record was 22 wins and 6 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference and third in the league, second only to the Suns and Knicks.

However, the Spurs rank No. 1 in ESPN's prediction of the probability of winning, and they currently have a 43% probability of winning.

The Suns have the second-best chance of winning at 41 percent.

The strength of both the Spurs and the Suns has increased this season, but the Spurs are still more optimistic based on their previous championship experience.

But the Suns, judging from this chance of winning, have indeed become a strong team at the championship level.

The Spurs mentioned Ginobili to the starting lineup, but this change is not for the sun. This season has been like this since the first game. Ginobili is no longer the sixth man of the Spurs, but the standard starting point guard.

Because of this, Frank arranged for Posey to play the second position, strengthening the defensive energy of the starting lineup.

"Hey, Manu, wow, Manu, Mediterranean hairstyle? That's not okay, you're so careless about your image..."

At the entrance of the passage, when Li Ba saw Ginobili, he yelled and went up to touch it.

Ginobili quickly moved away, but it was too late, feeling that his hair had been pulled away again, he couldn't help but said with a dark face: "Hammer, enough is enough, there are not many left."

"hey-hey……"

Duncan next to him laughed so much that he touched it as well.

The game was broadcast live on CCTV.

"Mr. Zhang, the Suns are the starter, the Hammer should be the third scoring point, right?" Yu Jia asked.

"That's not necessarily the case. If Battier and Posey are open, they can both score. But in general, the Spurs' starting lineup is more capable of scoring, and the top three scoring points are all in the starting lineup.

For the Suns, Marion is currently scoring first, Marbury is second, Joe Johnson is third, Posey is fourth, Battier is fifth, Hammer is sixth, Barbosa is seventh, up to eighth ... The starters scored slightly weaker, but not by much. " Zhang Lili said.

"Today's game is still very important. The Spurs are the first championship-level strong team that the Suns have encountered this season. This game can test their strength." Yu Jiadao.

"Yes, that's right. The Spurs and Suns are currently number one in their divisions. In this direct contest, winning or losing is very important, and may affect the final position in the playoffs." Zhang Lili said.

"So both parties should do their best." Yu Jia said.

At this time, the game started, Li Ba won the jump ball, and the Suns took the lead in attacking.

The Spurs had a balanced offense and defense, and retreated quickly. Lasu couldn't keep up with Li Ba's speed, but Duncan was prepared and switched defenses first, delaying Li Ba's fast forward.

Li Ba didn't find a chance for a fast break, but he still went to the basket first to look for opportunities, and at this time Lasu also defended him.

Rasu is 213 centimeters, and last season was 112 kilograms, but in order to fight against Li Ba, he gained weight in the off-season, and now he is 120 kilograms.

This made him move more slowly but with increased strength.

However, the tonnage of 120 kilograms still cannot bear the absolute strength of Li Ba.

"Oh!"

Li Ba walked around in front of Lasu, threw his arms back, and began to take his position, arching back strongly, and Lasu took half a step back.

Once again, Li Ba stood before the reasonable collision zone, and Lasu was also bumped into the reasonable collision zone.

Off the court, Popovich shook his head, but it still didn't work, and he had to rely on double-teaming to solve this big pest.

This season, Li Ba has increased his attack at the basket, directly showing his offensive threat. Popovich is very clear that although Li Ba's offense is not much now, once he enters the playoffs, if he does not have the strength to deal with it , then this pest will definitely hit the basket crazily. One O'Neal can't stand up to it, and half of it is possible.

So, from now on, we must find a way to deal with Li Ba's strong play at the basket.

The low position on the right wing, seeing that Lasu couldn't hold back, Duncan immediately came over to double-team, rushed in front of Li Ba, and cut off his line of receiving the ball.

This leaves Marion free, he pulls out, and demands the ball.

Marbury moves to the right wing and wants to pass.

Parker desperately entangled Marbury, and his entanglement played a role. Marbury failed to pass the ball immediately, and Bowen had already defended Marion in place.

But at this time, after three seconds, Li Ba had no choice but to leave the basket, and Duncan also ended the double-team and returned to defend Marion, Bowen returned to defend Battier, and Ginobili returned to defend Posey...for the first time The offensive and defensive contest at the basket is over.

But the basket ends, the other positions don't.

Posey took advantage of Ginobili's opportunity to defend Battier and pulled him to the left-wing three-point line, causing Ginobili's return to defense to be delayed in time. He had an open space and was still big.

At this time, Marbury suddenly ran back, shook off Parker, and passed the ball.

"Crack!" Posey caught the ball.

Li Ba, Marion, Duncan, and Lasu just left the basket, and immediately turned around, ready to fight for the rebound.

Especially Duncan, Popovich has already explained that his first task today is to grab rebounds, must ensure rebounds, the offense can be handed over to Parker and Ginobili.

Posey took a glance and took a calm jump shot.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Ouch, I hit the first three-pointer. Today, the sun's outside touch should not be bad." Zhang Lili yelled.

Spurs attack.

Duncan missed the basket and moved on the right wing, aiming to open the penalty area and allow Parker and Ginobili to break through.

Rasu also pulled to the low position on the left wing and missed the basket.

He averaged seven to eight shots per game. He shot close to the basket, a little over [-]%, and it would be too far away. In this position, he was threatening. Li Ba couldn't let him go and followed him.

In this way, the basket is empty.
