NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 54

Then the Grizzlies attacked, Gasol moved outside the three-second zone on the left wing to catch the ball, and the Bully defended it.

When Li Ba saw it, he immediately moved from the right wing to the low post on the left wing. He didn't care about the player Swift he was defending.

"Here, here, I'm open! I'm right under the basket, bro, give me the ball!"

Swift was excited when he saw it, the hammer left, he was free, and quickly waved to Gasol for the ball.

Gasol saw this scene when he caught the ball. At this time, he could choose to lob the ball, because the straight pass, the hammer was just above the passing line between him and Swift, and he could intercept him at any time. The pass can only be lobbed.

However, the speed of the lob is too slow and there is no suddenness. The hammer can return to defend Swift in time.

Therefore, Gasol, who has a very high golf quotient, pretended that he didn't see it and didn't pass it.

This is the main reason why Li Ba dropped Swift. He is stuck between Gasol and Swift, and it depends on whether you pass or not.

Pass, I steal.If you don't pass, I can prevent you from directly attacking the basket after breaking through the defensive loopholes.

Gasol chose, he turned directly from the basket to his back, and arched the little bully.

When Li Ba saw this action, without any hesitation, he immediately started and rushed towards Gasol, who was [-] meters away.

The reason for him rushing forward is simple. Gasol backs up the bully, no matter whether it is a real hit or a fake hit. At this moment, he can't see his own movements, which gives him the opportunity to go up and double-team.

After Gasol arched, he immediately turned around, but instead of turning and breaking through, he didn't want to face Li Ba who was watching him from behind, but took a step back, opened the distance with Xiaobawang, and turned directly to shoot a mid-range jumper.

His movement cohesion is very good, showing his good basic skills.

The moment he turned around and jumped up to make a shot, a huge figure rushed from the left side of Xiaobawang, jumped up directly, and covered the ball he had just shot with his huge palm.

"call!

With the sound of the wind, Li Ba hit hard with his right arm, and with his right palm, he slammed the ball accurately with great force.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp slap sound, the orange ball flew upside down in an instant, and flew straight up to the hilltop stands of the Meixi Arena.

"Oh!"

The audience exclaimed.

This is just a block, but the block is also like a dunk, which can quickly stimulate adrenaline.So after this crazy block, the entire American West Arena fell into a frenzy.

"Aww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The buzzing sound swept through everyone's hearts through the eardrums.

Chen Hong and more than a dozen Chinese reporters roared and frantically frantically flicked the shutter, freezing the boiling West-West Arena.

"Oh my God, violent block! This is a thrilling violent block! The big man of the Grizzlies is scared stupid! Haha, he is scared stupid!"

The Suns' on-site commentator roared excitedly again. The decibels were too high, and he had to use his loudest voice.

Gasol was indeed a little confused.

The moment Li Ba jumped up violently to cover, he even felt a fierce aura enveloped him.When the ball was slapped, his heart beat like a drum.

The excitement in Li Ba's heart was like a tide.

The success of this block shows that there is no problem with the timing of his promotion, so this is not a problem of blocking, but a problem of his defensive ability.

Watching the seething crowd, he thrusts his right hand toward them, shaking it like he's trying to block an opponent's attack.

"Aww!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This action made the fans extremely excited. The American West Arena seemed to explode, and the trembling hormones instantly surged and burned.

Tens of thousands of densely packed palms were raised up, shaking in the American West Arena.

At this time, the ball was thrown down, and the referee signaled the Grizzlies to serve from the sideline.

But as soon as the Grizzlies sent the ball out, White Chocolate who caught the ball was about to timeout.

After the players left the field, the stadium gradually quieted down, but the buzzing voices continued like rolling thunder.

"Mike, the defensive area of ​​​​the Hammers is not small."

Li Ba blocked Gasol, who was nearly six meters away from the basket, and had already left the paint area, Frank said happily to D'Antoni.

"Frank, didn't you see, he took a gamble, he completely lost the player he was defending, and it was wrong to do so. This is a gamble defense, how high is the success rate? I suggest you now Just replace him, that's the right way to deal with it."

D'Antoni persuaded earnestly.

"No, Mike, we see things differently. He's going up on Gasol's post-up. It's not a gamble. It's a very quick double-team. As it turns out, he did the right thing." defensive options."

Frank insisted.

D'Antoni could only shake his head and stop talking about it.

"Rebounds! I want rebounds! You didn't grab a single rebound, and all of them were taken away by the hammer. This is your shame! It's a shame!"

Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown roared.

Next, he replaced Swift for backup center Jack Chakalidis.

He gave Chakalidis a task to compete with Li Ba for rebounds without him attacking.

"Paul, go into the paint. It's hard for you to grab rebounds outside. You just saw that the Hammer's defense is very clean, cleaner than [-]% of the league's inside defenders. As long as you don't mess with him, don't be afraid. He elbowed you."

He said to Gasol again.

"OK."

Gasol wiped his sweat and nodded.

However, unfortunately, in the rest of the first quarter, with Li Ba fully controlling the rebounds, the Suns continued to open the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the final score was 18:27. The Suns led by 9 points and entered the second quarter.

In this quarter, Gasol didn't feel good, 4 of 1, 4 of 2 free throws, 4 points, 1 block and 1 turnover, no other statistics, and one rebound.

None of his four shots in this section were under the basket. Except for one three-pointer, the other three were mid-range shots, but unfortunately only one was made.

The Grizzlies scored the most in the first quarter was not the starter, but Shane Battier, who came off the bench behind him. He made 3 of 2 free throws and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 6 points and became the Grizzlies' first scoring point.

The starter James Posey at the second position made 1 of 0 shots and only scored 1 assist in the first quarter.

三号位的迈克·米勒也只是2中1，拿下2分1次失误1次犯规的数据。

And Swift, who was facing off against Li Ba, made zero shots in the whole quarter, didn't grab a rebound, and only got one assist.

Five starters, the data is extremely bleak, a total of 10 points and 2 rebounds.

In terms of rebounds, among the five main players, White Chocolate, the shortest point guard, picked up two backcourt rebounds. The other four players with an average height of 206 cm did not have any, which can be described as a miracle.

In the end, relying on the backup center Jack Chakadilis who played in the second half of the quarter, he grabbed 3 rebounds and did not lose too badly.
