NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 746 Popovich was ejected
"Congratulations, Charles, you are ranked third." Kenny Smith laughed.

"I knew there would be such a day." Barkley shook his head and laughed.

"What do you think of the Hammers' ability to score?" Kenny Smith asked.

"He, like me, has a different scoring ability from other insiders." Barkley smiled triumphantly.

"What ability?" Kenny Smith asked cooperatively.

"Explosive scoring. You know, after us, Iverson had 26 points in a single quarter, Isiah Thomas had 25 points, Michael Jordan had 24 points, Elgin Baylor had 23 points, Tracy McGrady had 18 points, Kobe had none Into the top ten. They are all outside, and our explosive scoring ability inside completely blows them outside."

Barkley smiled proudly.

In the live broadcast of CCTV, Yu Jia talked excitedly about Li Ba's scoring in a single quarter for a while, and then asked, "Mr. Zhang, the hammer shouldn't hit in the second quarter, right?"

"Definitely can't play, the first quarter was too aggressive." Zhang Lili said with certainty.

"According to what Yifei told us, the Suns will make a rush at the beginning of the game and take down the Spurs. Now they have indeed done it." Yu Jia laughed.

Zhang Lili said: "Duncan took the ball 8 times in the first quarter, which is already a lot, but his efficiency is average, and he was robbed by the hammer.
1 interception, 2 blocked shots, 2 missed shots, 2 missed dribble, only 7 shots, 2 of 4 shots in total, only 4 points and [-] rebounds.

In the final analysis, none of the 8 times he took the ball hit the basket. Except for mistakes, they were all close-range shots, and the distance from the basket was still too far.

He shot 70.5% at the basket this season and 39.9% at close range, which is a huge gap. "

Yu Jia said: "The ball that was blocked behind him was the one that was chased by the hammer when he slipped for a layup. The same was true for the steal and the one that was missed. Three slips and all failed."

Zhang Lili said: "Duncan also really wants to hit the basket, where the shooting rate is [-]%! But the defense of the Hammer is too strong, and there is no chance for him to get close to the basket."

"Mr. Zhang, the stats of Hammer and Duncan are too different, but they should be regarded as super at the same level, right?" Yu Jia asked.

"Well, let me put it this way, I think on the defensive end, I won't talk about the retired ones. The active ones, the Hammers are at a separate level. His current defensive ability has to be calculated, otherwise it will be bad for others. Fair." Zhang Lili smiled.

Yu Jia laughed out loud.

Zhang Lili continued: "On the offensive end, thanks to his strength and speed, the Iron Hammer has exploded a huge scoring ability in the fast break, which we did not expect before. In this kind of sports warfare, his ability is definitely Much stronger than Duncan, Duncan has no mobile combat ability.

But in positional warfare, Duncan's offensive ability is still stronger than that of the Hammer. He is stronger in terms of scoring means and offensive distance. After so many seasons, this has been proved.Of course, this refers to when Duncan is not facing the hammer.

Once Duncan faces a unique defense like the Hammers like now, his efficiency, as everyone has seen, is far lower than usual performance.

Let me put it all together, the strength of the Hammer is already stronger than Duncan.In the playoffs of the first two seasons, the Spurs were eliminated by the Suns consecutively, which actually shows this point. "

In the second quarter, Li Ba sat on the bench.

In order to chase points for the Spurs, Popovich played GDP to death, and Duncan played for another 8 minutes.

After halftime, 55:51, the Spurs were still 4 points behind, chasing 10 points in one quarter.

"The Hammer consumed too much in the first quarter, but Tim Duncan played 8 minutes in the second quarter, and his consumption was even greater than that of the Hammer. Then in the second half, I think the Suns will have the advantage on the inside."

Buckley said.

“蒂姆第二节又是7投5中，4罚2中，送出一次盖帽，半场14投7中，拿下16分7篮板2助攻1盖帽3失误3犯规的数据，表现还是不错的。“肯尼史密斯说道瞎。

Barkley said, "Kenny, I don't think so."

"uh-huh?"

"If this is the performance he played against the hammer, you are right. But no, this is the data he played against Kurt Thomas." Barkley laughed.

"Judging from Tim's performance, the Hammer's defense is even more terrifying." Kenny Smith praised.

"So, our view, I think it will really appear, the league will speed up, and we will enter the era of small ball."

Buckley shook his head and said with a smug look on his face.

In the locker room of the home team, Popovich looked at the sweaty Duncan and said: "Tim, the Suns will definitely not play fast breaks in the third quarter. That guy's energy consumption is no less than yours. They should be in the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, you focus on recovering your physical strength, control the rebounds, let others attack, and you exert your strength in the final quarter."

At the beginning of the second half, the two teams returned to the starting lineup of the first quarter.

Spurs attack.

Ginobili made a three-pointer from the right wing and hit a goal, 55:54, and the Spurs were only 1 point behind.

But the moment the ball brushed past the basket, Li Ba started and rushed to the frontcourt.

"Fast break! The Suns play fast break tactics again!" Barkley roared in surprise, his voice somewhat sharp.

Bowen's reaction was a bit slow. When he was close to the center line, Li Ba rushed past him. He pulled, but Mao didn't catch up.

Only Manu Ginobili, who returned to defense, was left in the frontcourt. He left Tony Allen behind, quickly approached the center from the left wing, and hugged Li Ba desperately.

But the moment he approached, he was knocked into the air with a bang.

Ginobili flew one meter as if he had been in a car accident, fell to the floor and rolled twice before stopping.

But the whistle didn't sound, and Li Ba rushed to the basket.

"Bumping foul!!!"

Popovich's screams sounded from the sidelines.

"boom!"

At the same time, the ball came in, Li Ba soared up, dunked his arms, and scored the first goal of the second half.

"what!!!"

The brutal attack instantly aroused the emotions of the away fans. They stood up from their seats and shouted wildly.

The Suns bench, Liu Yifei and the others also stood up and cheered.

"He fouled! Didn't you see? He hit Manu on purpose! He should be sent off immediately! Immediately!"

The excited Popovich yelled at the referee on the field.

"Shh!!!"

Huge hisses sounded.

But this did not change the referee's will. He walked to Popovich and sent a T directly.

Popovich went berserk, yelling, "Did you take the money? Who gave it to you? I'll give you double!"

Well, the referee sent another T, then pointed to the entrance of the channel, and directly expelled Popovich.

"Shh!!!!"

The head coach was sent off, and the AT&T Arena was boiling.
