NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 65 Backward

"boom!"

As soon as his feet landed, Li Ba immediately grabbed the ball with both hands and raised it up, making a movement of attacking the basket.

When Ratliff saw it, he immediately slapped the ball with his right hand reflexively, and hit the ball and Li Ba's big hand.

"Snapped!"

Amid the loud slaps, Li Ba leaped up, his strength was like a tide. Ratliff's power to steal the ball with one hand didn't work at all, and it didn't affect his attacking action. The ball hit the basket.

"boom!"

The basket trembled wildly.

"flute!"

The referee blew the whistle, the thug fouled and an extra penalty was given.

"Ow!"

The first time he caused a foul by a defensive player and received an additional penalty, Li Ba roared with excitement.

It didn't take long for him to think about his free throw percentage, though.

Thinking of this thing, he felt very ashamed.

In this era, domestic centers, including the three major centers, have a very impressive free throw percentage. Therefore, in terms of this skill, he has embarrassed the domestic center circle. Yes, maybe [-]% of them are barely on the field, and their wrists are too stiff.

"What the hell, if the ball is missed, my golden body will be broken!"

After standing on the free throw line and aiming for a long time, Li Ba's ball has not been thrown yet.

"Haha, rookie, throw it with your eyes closed!" Marbury laughed teasingly from behind.

Xiaobawang and Marion, who were defending on the sidelines on both sides of the paint, saw Li Ba like this, and hurriedly went all out to grab a rebound.

"Oh, the rookie of the Suns doesn't have the ability of the Sharks, but he has learned the faults of the Sharks. This is really commendable!"

The Eagles' live commentator laughed.

"Ha ha……"

His words made the few hundred Eagles fans on the scene laugh out loud.

"But like the Sharks, he can easily blow up the inside of the Eagles." The Suns commentator shouted unwillingly.

"What's the big deal? How many points does he average? Just a few rebounds?" The Hawks commentator said disdainfully.

"Hmph!" The Suns commentator was annoyed.

"boom!"

Li Ba threw the ball dripping with sweat, and it hit the basket as expected.

As expected, Ratliff is worthy of being a defensive center. He immediately stuck the bully behind him and took off the ball smoothly.

After Li Ba finished his shot, he saw the ball hit the basket and didn't bounce back, so he immediately turned around and returned to defense, regardless of who got the rebound.

The ball is passed to the fast-down Eagles point guard Terry.

Marbury followed up and harassed for a while, Terry changed direction, saw Ayou Glover was about to get the ball on the left wing three-point line, and the defenders around him hadn't come up yet, and passed continuously.

"Shh!"

Glover was feeling hot today, and he hit three shots in a row.

13:6, the Eagles lead away by 7 points, and the score is widening.

This is the second three-pointer made by Eagles shooting guard Dean Glover. Just in the 4th minute of the first quarter, he scored 13 of the Eagles' 8 points.

"flute!"

After the Suns served the ball, Marbury, who was holding the ball, asked for a long timeout according to Frank's request.

In front of the Hawks bench, Stotts was quite happy. Although the offensive tactics on the field were not played according to his plan, Glover broke out today, which is also a good result.

But he still said: "Good job, but next, we still have to play more inside and try to beat that rookie down. You have also seen that although his offensive method in the inside is monotonous and the attack range is not large, it is also for We got in a lot of trouble. Hitting him down would get us a lot of rebounds. Yeah, Theo?"

"Yes." Ratliff nodded with an ugly face.

For more than three minutes, not only did he not take advantage of Li Ba, but he was also taken advantage of. He didn't grab a single rebound. As a defensive center, he couldn't provide rebound protection for the team. He was a little embarrassed.

If he can't secure rebounds and provide defensive energy, his starting position will be in question immediately, because his starting position comes from his defense.

Glover, who scored 8 points in a row, also had a gloomy expression, his fists clenched tightly.

In front of the Suns bench, Frank wiped his sweat and shouted, "Defense, where is the perimeter defense?"

He stared at Glover's opponent, Joe Johnson, and shouted with some disappointment: "Joe, can you work harder on the defensive end? Don't just want the ball to shoot."

"I will."

Joe Johnson nodded solemnly, and then secretly said in his heart: "It's just two missed goals, and I will definitely make them later."

"Sean, keep an eye on that Jackson, don't let him easily participate in assisting and switching defenses, he is always your man."

After talking about Joe Johnson, Frank aimed at the almighty warrior Marion again.

"I'll keep an eye on him." Marion nodded cautiously.

Today he performed averagely. He made a mistake at the beginning and lost Jackson later, causing Jackson to switch to Joe Johnson and block a block.

"Stephen, Sean, pay attention to help defend the Eagles' shooting guard. He has hot hands today and will definitely continue to shoot." Frank said again.

After the two nodded, he said to Xiaobawang and Li Ba again: "Amalei, Hammer, you should be able to cooperate. Think about it, you are an inside team, but now there is no disconnect, no Any cooperation, it's not right."

Stoudemire shrugged, glanced at Li Ba and said nothing.

Li Ba held his head up and didn't answer the conversation, and didn't even look at Xiaobawang.

Frank has some headaches. This pair of insiders should be able to display a strength of 1+1 greater than 2, but unfortunately, they should not even display their strength of 1.5 now.

Next, Frank replaced Joe Johnson, leaving Penny at the No. [-] spot.

Joe Johnson looked disappointed and threw the towel on the seat in frustration.

The game restarts.

Looking at the players on the field, Frank hoped for a good second half.

But he was disappointed. This timeout was the beginning of the Suns sliding further into the abyss.

The first quarter was destined to be Glover's first quarter.

Later, he took four consecutive shots and hit three goals, including a three-pointer. He made 7 of 6 in the quarter and scored 15 points.

Relying on Glover's explosive performance, the luck of the whole team was boosted. The Eagles made 26 of 14 shots in the first quarter, a terrifying 53.8% shooting rate, and scored 33 points.

Compared with the outstanding performance of the Eagles, the Suns' luck is cold, even the penny who came off the bench is the same.

The team made 35 shots in the first quarter, 9 times more than the Hawks, but only hit 10 goals and scored 23 points. The shooting percentage was only 28.6%, which was outrageously low.

The only stat higher than the Eagles is rebounding.

After the first quarter, Li Ba grabbed 9 rebounds, plus 2 steals, 1 assist, and 6 points.

He didn't block the shot because Ratliff didn't have a chance to catch the ball at all in the first quarter.

He had 9 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds.

According to his memory, these 4 offensive rebounds, including his own two goals, scored a total of 3.He threw the remaining one to Marbury and fed the black hole.

Thanks to Li Ba's rebounding, the Suns grabbed 17 rebounds in the first quarter, 7 more than the Hawks, and also had 7 more offensive opportunities.

However, it doesn't matter.
