NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 439 Provocation from Maddie

"Oh, this ball? The two double-teamed and didn't pinch the hammer. Howard didn't have enough strength to hold it, so the hammer turned around."

Zhang Reasonable said.

"Howard is not strong enough to handle it. Yao has no speed and can't keep up. The inside combination of Dayao and Howard can't restrain the hammer." Yu Jia said.

"Now the hammer is launching fast breaks at every turn, and the Suns' game is better than last season. Especially for a big center like Dayao, fast breaks are accurate." Zhang Reasonable said.

"Let's not talk about it in China. The ratings have always been super high, much higher than the Mosaic team. I heard that the ratings in the United States are also in the top three in the league, not worse than the Lakers and Cavaliers." Yu Jia laughed.

At this time, the Mosaic team advanced to the frontcourt. McGrady leaned on Battier on the left wing and opened his right hand for the ball.

Sura passes the ball from the outside.

McGrady catches the ball, left foot forward, left against Battier, right arm holding the ball open like an outstretched wing.

The right wing slowly fell, and the moment it was about to close, suddenly, his right foot stepped forward to the right.

"squeak!"

The first step of McGrady's breakthrough can be ranked among the top five in league history, and Battier hastily retreated.

But at this moment, McGrady's right foot was retracted, and then he jumped up and shot.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

4:5, the Suns trailed by 1 points away.

Sun attack.

Dayao ran with all his might and chased after Li Ba.

"Don't, don't, I broke your leg by running, and it's a disadvantage for me to go back to China to play." Li Ba slowed down and complained on the side.

"You boy, you're so ruthless, you're coming all the way to my deathbed." Dayao said angrily.

The Suns advance to the frontcourt, others pull out, Marion pulls to the right wing, and at the same time Li Ba is holding Dayao under the basket.

Howard is in a dilemma, should he defend Marion, or did he help defend the Hammers in the past?

At the basket, Dayao was so big that Li Ba got stuck behind him and couldn't move.

"I still can't handle it. Although Dayao has a larger tonnage, his muscle mass and absolute strength are far behind the hammer." Yu Jia said.

"Each player has his or her own strengths. Dayao is more flexible, so he can shoot with a touch. The offensive threat is not comparable to that of a hammer." Zhang Lili said.

Howard finally chose to double-team Li Ba and let Marion go.

Marion catches the ball, jumps up and hits a mid-range shot before Wesley's help comes up.

6:5, the Suns lead by 1 points.

Mosaic attack.

"He double-teams the ball." Pointing to McGrady, Frank shouted to Posey.

At the top of the arc, Sura controls the ball.

Right wing, with Howard in the low post, and David Wesley on the right wing three-point line.

On the left wing, there is Dayao in the low post and Tracy McGrady on the three-point line.

Leaning on Battier, McGrady asked for the ball.

In this situation where the point guard is at the top of the arc and the others are distributed on the two wings, it is impossible for Posey to come over to help defend.

The defense is not anti-burst, Marbury stood between Sura and McGrady, cutting off his passing line.

Sura broke forward suddenly, and Marbury was half a step behind, still following closely.

But at this moment, Sura made an emergency stop, and Marbury rushed forward.

Marbury looked back and saw that the ball had passed to McGrady, he quickly turned around and rushed to McGrady, released Sura, and was about to double-team McGrady.

McGrady caught the ball with one hand and made three powerful moves.

"Sudden? Pass? Throw?"

Battier was nervous.

At this time, before Marbury pounced on his upper body, McGrady suddenly stood up and drew a low and flat arc in the air with the basketball in his hand.

At this moment, the four insiders of the two teams immediately moved to the basket.

"boom!"

The ball hit the basket and hit a three-pointer.

6:8, the Mosaic team leads by 2 points at home.

After making the shot, McGrady backed away slowly, but glanced at Li Ba.

Li Ba saw McGrady's gaze and felt a kind of provocation.

"Wow, McGrady's hands are very hot today, and he made two three-pointers in the opening game?" Yu Jia said in disbelief.

"Sean, you can let him in a little bit, and stick to the defense."

Li Ba caught up with Battier and bowed to him.

Close-fitting defense, anti-throw but not anti-burst.

Put it in, the closer it is to the paint area, the more convenient Li Ba's supplementary defense will be.

"Understood, boss." Battier said.

Sun attack.

It was still Li Ba who attracted the defense at the basket. This time after Marion received the ball, Wesley made up the defense very quickly.

But Wesley is only 183 centimeters, and Marion is 201 centimeters. Even if the former is in place, the latter still makes a shot.

"Shh!"

The splash appeared and the mid-range shot hit.

8:8, the two teams tied.

"Marion's hands are hot today." Yu Jia said.

"Wesley is too short, it's too bad for Marion to be misplaced." Zhang Lili said.

Mosaic attack.

On the left wing, Battier intentionally shrunk a bit and let McGrady come in a step.

McGrady leaned on Battier for the ball again.

Sura passed the ball by moving from position to position.

Marbury immediately came to help defend, Posey on the right-wing three-point line quickly moved to the top of the arc to defend Sura, and Wesley was proposed by Marion to defend, and Howard was free at this time.

But this vacancy was blocked by Battier from McGrady's passing route.

As long as he defends again, when Marbury comes up, the double-team will be done.

McGrady caught the ball and was immediately caught by Battier. He had no chance to face the basket, so he had to play back instead.

But at this time Marbury's double-team came up from behind.

McGrady can only rely on Battier, lift the ball, and prepare to pass back to the top of the arc.

At this moment, Posey jumped to the top of the arc and cut off Sura's receiving line.

Sura quickly withdrew and reached out to catch the ball.

At this moment, Li Ba quickly and decisively rushed up from the low position and cut into the passing line.

McGrady passed the ball, and Li Ba jumped forward.

"Snapped!"

Grab with one hand.

"Back the ball!"

Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

"Marbury's defensive attitude is really good now! The Suns' defensive system has really been established." At this time, Zhang Reasonable shouted.

"Shh!"

Posey, who started at the top of the arc, was at the front. He received a pass from Marbury and carried Sura for a layup.

10:8, the Suns lead.

Mosaic attack.

"Yao, you go to a high position."

Xiao Fan shouted from the sidelines.

In the frontcourt, Dayao settled in a high position.

Li Ba naturally defended.

The right wing is low, and Howard also pulls to the flank.

He was very steady in the mid-range shot, and Marion didn't let go of a step.

In this way, the Suns' basket was emptied.

At this time, the ball was handed over to Dayao in the high position.

At this time, Li Ba took a step to defend Dayao, but put half of his energy behind him to prevent being cut by McGrady.

At this time, McGrady really started to cut in from the left wing.

Enter the flank first, start suddenly, one step suddenly Shane Battier, three steps later into the paint.

At this time, Dayao's pass came.

"squeak!"

Li Ba turned around and started the first step.

"Snapped!"

McGrady received the ball, rushed in front of Li Ba, and rushed to the basket.

"Oh!"

Li Ba directly bumped into Battier's body, the two collided into a ball, and the latter was even knocked down directly.

"boom!"

McGrady flew up and dunked in a one-armed giant loop.

10:10, flat.

McGrady hangs his right arm above the basket, points to Li Ba with his left hand, and releases a cold breath on his face.

"what!!!!!"

In the Toyota Center, huge cheers erupted.
