NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 66 Run, Old Bird

Frank, who used to be in a suit and leather shoes, lost his jacket at this time. He also undid two buttons of his white shirt and rolled up his sleeves. There was a lot of sweat stains on his back.

He looked at the VIP room of general manager Colangelo, scratched his head, and then held the tactical board in his hand, knocking on the substitute players who were going to play in the second quarter: "Now... let Mike Let me explain the tactics to you."

"Frank, are you surrendering directly?"

Li Ba, who was wiping sweat on his seat, immediately covered his face with a towel to prevent Frank from seeing his contemptuous expression.

"Well, that's good, listen to me now."

D'Antoni took the tactical board in Frank's hand without hesitation, and said calmly while drawing with a pen:

"We play run and boom. We have to move, the ball has to be passed, like a flowing wind, no one can hold the ball for more than one second...well, I ask for a lower, two seconds, just like we usually Running like a tactical training... Seven seconds, no, ten seconds, ten seconds to complete an attack..."

Well, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Suns played D'Antoni's running and bombing.

However, D'Antoni didn't seem to think about it too carefully. This kind of tactics that requires excellent coordination with top point guards may not be able to play with the main players of the Suns.

Therefore, in the second quarter, the Suns bench was in chaos. Like a headless fly, they hit themselves four times and hit the Eagles players three times. Two of them were called offensive screen fouls.Just one mistake, there are five times.

By the 6th minute, 45:28, the Suns trailed by 17 points at home.

"Hush!!!!!!!!!!!!"

There was no silence in the American West Arena, but boos sounded.

Suns general manager Colangelo sat in the VIP room without moving a bit, with a serious expression on his face.

He is full of expectations for the team this season, but now that the Hawks, a slender team that hasn't made the playoffs in several seasons, have played the Suns to reveal their true colors, giving him a clue about the true strength of the team. Doubts, including coach Frank's coaching ability.

In the first quarter, the only thing that satisfied him was the rookie Hammer signed by the team with a basic salary. His rebounding ability is completely worthy of a top middle-class contract.

"Unfortunately, only 1+1 was signed."

He does not deny that he regrets it now. If the hammer continues to perform like this throughout the season, then the Suns may have to spend tens of millions of annual salary in the next contract in order to block the big contracts that other teams throw in front of the hammer.As far as he knew, Hammer wanted to make a lot of money.

"Unfortunately, there is no offense, only defense. Now there are three seconds of defense. It is no longer the era of Russell's ancient defensive center!" He murmured.

During the long timeout of the Suns, the atmosphere on the bench was very calm, and the audience behind the bench was also silent.

D'Antoni couldn't do it either. The sweat on Frank's body subsided a little, he took over the command again, and began to call the main players to listen to him explain the tactics.

"From now on, stop shooting wildly from outside and play inside. Strongly play inside, which is conducive to rebounding."

Well, Frank feels that Li Ba's rebounding is more reliable, don't shoot outside, and lose the point of rebounding.

"Stephen, pass that ball in for me. Amare, go to the inside. Your mid-range shot is average today, and going to the inside is more stable. Hammer, grab the offensive rebound and hand it over to Amare, and you will be in charge of the offensive screen. In addition, Ah When Mare goes inside, you pull out a little, but don't go too far, pay attention to protect the rebound. Others pull out..."

When he finally pulled it away, he felt a headache.

As far as the Suns' outside shooting rate is concerned today, the Eagles will probably go short if the outside line is opened, and they will rush down and eat their two inside lines alive under the basket.

The timeout ends and the Suns attack.

The bully made a low post on the left wing, then caught the ball and backed Raheem.

Li Ba was in the low position on the right wing, outside the paint, and did not enter the paint.

He still settled on the Eagles' starting center and two-time shot-blocking champion Theo Ratliff, stuck the latter behind him, faced the paint himself, and watched the bully attack.

He doesn't want the ball either, and he won't give it to Xiaobawang if he asks for it.

When Frank saw this scene, the sweat on his forehead immediately came down.

"Hammer, you're not Duncan, don't stay like this, okay? You still want the ball when it's time to ask for it?"

Seeing that such a good position of Li Ba was wasted so much, he wished he could pounce on Li Ba and beat him up.

But this opportunity is also very short, only a second or two, and then it disappears.

The reason is simple. Ratliff is not an idiot. If he can't handle Li Ba, he goes around the front to defend. He directly sticks to the baseline and bypasses Li Ba, enters the paint area, and intends to double-team the bully.

As soon as he entered the paint area, Li Ba was helpless. All the defensive players went in. As an offensive player, he watched the fun outside?

He immediately took a step forward, kept up with the opponent, and relied on his weight and strength to squeeze Ratliff out of the baseline, preventing him from double-teaming the bully.

Little Overlord was really strong, but Rahim's defense couldn't help him. Before he was double-teamed, he turned right and slipped to the bottom, jumping directly to attack the basket.

This action, if Li Ba hadn't pushed Ratliff out of the bottom line, he would definitely meet Ratliff. The result is unknown, he may be intercepted, or he may be dunked by the opponent.

Li Ba pushed Ratliff out of the bottom line, looked back, saw the guy, the little bully was attacking the basket, and the eagle's small forward had already jumped to the basket at some point, soared into the air, and pressed his palm towards the basket. The ball was smashed into the basket.

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

The moment before entering the basket, the ball was hit, hit the backboard heavily, and bounced to the right wing at [-] degrees.

Li Ba had already lowered his head and rushed into the court from the baseline. The moment the ball rebounded, he was locked on by him, and then he began to move with all his strength.

There are two types of rebounds, one is hitting the basket, the other is right under the basket, relying on grabbing, and the other is rebounding, which is far away and relying on picking.

It is very troublesome to grab this kind of rebounds that rely on picking up. You have to multi-task, because you have to move while looking at the ball, and you must avoid bumping into others. If you hit someone, you may have to call a foul, so generally there are few insiders. Players go to grab this kind of rebound by picking it up.

But Li Ba can be single-minded. He only needs to avoid others when he moves with his head down. It's like sprinting with all his strength, which saves him a lot of time every time he grabs a rebound. This is because his speed is relatively slow, but Still grabs a lot of pick-up rebounds for a reason.

Sixty degrees on the right wing, Marbury and Hawks point guard Terry, as well as Joe Johnson and Hawks shooting guard Glover are all waiting for this rebound.

The other three were destined to be disappointed. When they were looking at the ball with their mouths open, a giant shadow rushed in front of them, then soared into the sky, and grabbed the ball.

"Throw it in, old bird!"

Facing several players in the first and second positions, Li Ba threw the ball towards Marbury without any hindrance to his sight, and shouted: "If you don't score this ball, don't call me Ba."

"Shh!"

Marbury broke through the defensive player in one step and used a mid-range shot to rewrite the score to 45:30.
