NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 750 The Charge of the Hammer

In the second quarter, Li Ba still played.

He wants to use this method to wear down Duncan's physical fitness.

Physically speaking, he is very confident, and he is stronger than Duncan.

And without him on the court, in the second quarter, it would be difficult for the Suns' substitutes to withstand the impact of the Spurs' half-main and half-substitute.

Sure enough, in the second quarter, Popovich continued to fuck GDP.

But Li Ba didn't let him succeed. He used his defense to keep the Spurs' offense out of the paint, used his rebounds to increase his own shots, and used David Lee's basket attack and large mid-range shots. Withstood the Spurs' counterattack in the second quarter.

At halftime, 49:51, the Suns trailed by two points.

Popovich was very disappointed. All three main players played for 30 minutes, and they only led by two points.

Such a Suns team gave him a sense of powerlessness and a deep sense of hatred.

“铁锤两节拿下了11分19篮板7助攻4抢断6盖帽1失误1犯规，半场差点打出两双+5*5，表现绝了！”

Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"If it weren't for the fact that the scoring ability of the bench lineup is worse than that of the main players, how can they fall behind? The number of shots is much higher than that of the Spurs." Yu Jia said.

Zhang Lili laughed and said: "Today, the outside line of the substitute lineup basically doesn't score. They all rely on the inside line to score points. The number of shots can keep the balance of the score, which is not bad."

"Lagabel didn't feel good today. He made 7 of 1 shots and missed a few spot-up three-pointers. What did he do last night?"

Yu Jia complained.

In the locker room of the home team, the atmosphere is very heavy.

Everyone knows that in the second half, the Suns will definitely exert their strength, and they must face the terrifying fast break of the Hammers again.

Thinking of Li Ba's fast break, Bo Wen felt suffocated.

He graduated from the last six fouls in the G1 game, and all six fouls were given to Li Ba, which means that he has a lot of defensive experience and was not hit by Li Ba. If he was like Ginobili, he would probably be lying in the hospital inside.

But the thought of facing that terrifying impact again gave him a headache and pain in all his bones.

The other backup forwards and guards also bowed their heads and remained silent. They were the main players who attacked Li Ba, and their defensive experience was not as good as Bo Wen's.

"He must be stopped! Stop him from the beginning!"

Popovich was simply roaring. He waved his fist and shouted: "Tim, I am not satisfied with your offensive efficiency. Our few possessions are wasted. I need you to work harder on both ends of the offense and defense."

Duncan wiped his sweat with a towel, and said in a muffled voice, "Greg, I don't want to shirk responsibility. My efficiency is indeed not high. His defense...is too strong!"

Popovich was silent for a while, and then said: "Leave the offense in the second half to Tony and Manu, you must follow him closely when the offense and defense switch, and don't let him rush.

It's just one step, just block his first step.Block his first step, we can complete the recovery, and our defense can be established. "

"first step?"

Duncan smiled wryly in his heart. How many people in the league can stop that guy's first step, counting the back line?

Popovich shouted at the others: "Everyone else is the same. Whoever is closest to that guy will block. Make sure to do this in transition. We do this and we have a chance in the second half." win.

You should know that our scoring ability is better than theirs.They got so many balls, but we are still ahead, which proves that we have a chance to win. "

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs attacked.

Ginobili broke through Tony Allen's defense, made a first-line shot from the three-point line, and hit a goal with two points from far away.

49:53, the Spurs lead by 4 points at home.

After Manu Ginobili made a shot, Li Ba stared closely at the basketball, observed its arc, judged whether the ball was hit or missed, and then made the next move.

If it fails, of course it is to move the card position to grab the board.

If it hits, then you must turn around and go down as fast as possible to implement a fast attack.

The reason why his fast attack is strong is because of this, he can predict that his fast attack is half a beat faster than anyone else.

With this ball, before the ball entered the basket, he broke free from Duncan's entanglement, and when he heard the sound of brushing, he started the first step.

Duncan is going to grab a rebound. At this moment, his eyes are fixed on the basket. After being freed, his eyes still have to be fixed on the basket, because he does not know whether the ball is hit or not.

It may only be a fifth of a second here, but it is enough for Li Ba to complete the first step of activation.

Then after the basketball entered the basket, he tried to stop Li Ba's start, but it was too late. Li Ba's first step had already been stepped out.
So from the very beginning, not only did he not have the chance to entangle Li Ba, he was also one step behind.

On the left-wing three-point line, Bowen kept staring at Li Ba. At this time, while turning back to defend, he approached the middle, ready to take foul tactics at any time.

At the top of the arc, Barbosa ran to the right wing, firstly to catch the ball, and secondly to take Parker away so that he would not block Li Ba.

When Li Ba rushed to the center line, Bao Wen leaned forward.

Half a second later, he rushed to the top of the arc, and Barbosa couldn't wait to pass the ball in.

This is not the best passing opportunity, but Barbosa's ability is at this level. It is not bad to be able to pass the ball under Parker's entanglement without passing in the wrong direction.

Li Ba "sees" the pass one step faster than Bowen. He doesn't want to be fouled. Now that the third quarter has just started, there is no chance of free throws, so he reacts half a beat beforehand.

With a block of his right arm, he blocked the approaching Bowen.

With this stop, the distance between the two was instantly shortened.

Li Ba jumped up from the free throw line, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and then strode towards the basket with a bang, exploding the Spurs' basket.

"Heavy dunk with one arm, the charge of the hammer has begun! His charge is unstoppable for the Spurs!" the Sun commentator roared loudly.

On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley yelled: "Bowen's strength is too weak, and he has no resistance at all under the single-arm block of the hammer."

Kenny Smith said: "I think Popovich has to find another way, either foul early, but that doesn't consume the physical energy of the hammer, or find a guy who is fast and strong enough, but I don't think he can find it." .”

Barkley laughed and said, "So I can only foul early?"

"I think so." Kenny Smith nodded and smiled.

"Tim, follow him! Don't let him start!" Popovich yelled from the sidelines.

The critical situation made him lose his patience with Duncan, leaving only sternness and cruelty.

Spurs attack.

Ginobili made another long shot, but this time he missed.

When Ginobili made the shot, Duncan rushed to the basket, and of course he rushed to Li Ba.

But before he got close to the basket, he was stuck by Li Ba, and then the rebound was caught by Li Ba.

But his hands immediately wrapped around Li Ba, almost hugging Li Ba.
