NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 867 Terrifying Co-defense Ability
"Call me."

O'Neill refused to admit defeat, and demanded the ball against Li Ba.

"Shaq, if you dare to ask for the ball, I will block you if I don't stop."

Li Ba stepped back, stepped back half a step, and spat trash talk.

Marbury suddenly moved a step from the top of the arc to the left wing, and after getting out of the way of Rondo, he threw his hands inward.

He knows Li Ba too well. If the passing speed is average, half of the ball may be intercepted, so the passing speed must be improved.

However, he estimated Li Ba's stealing ability, but ignored O'Neal's current physical condition.

The speed of the ball was too fast, and O'Neill couldn't keep up with his hands. He scooped it up, missed the ball, and the ball went straight out of the baseline.

Li Ba laughed, and quickly started to get off.

There is no need to count on O'Neill to return to defense quickly. At his peak, he could be faster than Li Ba, but now, he is like an old cow, and he is unwilling to run even if he can.

Gasol and Mike Miller were also unhappy. After approaching the center from the left and right wings, they lost a lot of Li Ba, and it was impossible to intercept Li Ba.

Li Ba drove straight all the way, crossing the top of the arc.

Marbury showed his value at this time. He polished his defense in the Suns. He is truly both offensive and defensive.

He entangled rookie Rondo and successfully blocked his fast pass.

So, without receiving the ball, Li Babai rushed back.

The positional battle was still Tony Allen's point, and the same air-cut tactics were still used. Li Ba sent a good ball again and got an assist.

0:4, the Suns lead.

Grizzlies attack.

Li Ba locked O'Neal, then let him go, and got to the free throw line.

Barkley laughed and said, "Shaq must be scolding Hammer, Hammer, dare you underestimate me, I'll smash your basket."

Kenny Smith laughed too.

O'Neal didn't scold, he moved to the basket immediately and raised his hand to Marbury at the top of the arc.

As soon as O'Neal moved, Li Ba immediately moved laterally to the middle.

He is on the next step at the free throw line, which is four meters away from the basket, and his position is no more than three meters away from the basket, which is just within his defense distance.

But this is for others, for O'Neill, he dare not let it go like this.

"Top horse, dare to pass it on?"

He took a step back and began to provoke Marbury.

"Do you dare not retreat?"

Marbury sprayed back, and then moved continuously at the top of the arc to pass the ball inward, but after finally throwing away Rondo, he passed the ball to Gasol on the right wing.

Two steps from the right-wing three-point line, Gasol singles Marion, turns around and hits a jumper.

2:4, the Grizzlies fell behind.

"Still didn't dare to pass it on." Yu Jia said with a smile.

"This is O'Neal and Marbury. O'Neal was emptied, and he didn't dare to pass. Look, this is the deterrent power of the hammer in the paint." Zhang Reasonable shouted.

The two were also blowing up, as if they didn't see Li Ba's step back.

"boom!"

At this time, the Grizzlies' basket was blown up, and the audience cheered suddenly.

2:6, the Suns lead.

The sun's on-site commentator roared: "Beautiful fast break! The hammer's charge is unstoppable, and his charge made the Grizzlies' defense into nothingness..."

Just now, when the ball went into the basket, Li Ba launched a fast break.

This time, the rest of the Suns stayed in the backcourt to receive the serve. Tony Allen reached the bottom line the fastest and implemented a fast serve. It was not given to Rondo, who was entangled by Marbury, but to Marion, who quickly passed to Lee. Dam, hit this fast break.

The Grizzlies attacked, and coach Mike saw Li Ba's step back just now, and shouted to O'Neal: "Shaq, go to the basket."

In this way, O'Neal leaned directly to the basket.

Now his mobility has deteriorated further, he is far away from the basket, and under Li Ba's defense, his shooting percentage is not high, so simply playing close to the basket can not only attract Li Ba's defensive attention, but also improve his shooting percentage.

O'Neal stood directly under the basket, and Li Ba must not be able to leave a space of three meters. Then the former really only needs to tiptoe to hit the basket, and he has no time to return to the defense.

As a result, Li Ba lost the opportunity to advance, and he was one step ahead of O'Neill, only close to him.

His position, with his ability, has completely cut off O'Neal's receiving line.

But the Grizzlies' tactical goal was achieved. Just like Yao, O'Neal successfully pinned Li Ba to a position close to the basket, greatly reducing the chances of assisting outside defense.

But it doesn't matter, there are always some people who can limit some of Li Ba's abilities. Since he can't help defend the outside line, Li Ba can stay in the paint area, catch rebounds, and block the opponent's inside attack.

There are gains and losses. Although O'Neal can contain Li Ba in the paint area, his movement is slow and cannot keep up with Li Ba's movement in the paint area. In terms of the team's inside offensive screen and rebounding control, there is some difficulty. weak.

In this way, the Grizzlies lost the inside offense and completely became an outside team.

On the contrary, Li Ba frequently played fast breaks with super high efficiency. At the same time, in positional battles, he frequently made offensive screens in the low post, allowing Tony Allen and Ginobili to break through repeatedly, and his offensive efficiency was higher than that of the Grizzlies.

Coupled with the control of rebounds, the number of shots was dominant. After one quarter, at 22:38, the Suns took a solid lead by 16 points.

Yu Jia said in surprise: "I thought the Grizzlies were very strong. O'Neal + Marbury + Gasol, the Big Three, and so many role players who can score. The lineup is very strong. I think they are even stronger than the Mavericks." If you are strong, why are you so far behind in one quarter?"

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Because Gasol is always outside, O'Neal grabs rebounds but can't grab the Hammers. In the first quarter, the Hammers grabbed 9 rebounds, the Suns had 16 rebounds, and the Grizzlies only had 10 rebounds. That's the most important reason.

Then the offensive efficiency is too poor, the sun's overall shooting rate is 56%, the Grizzlies only 41%, plus the number of shots, 16 points behind in a single quarter, no problem. "

Yu Jia looked at Li Ba's stats and said: "Iron Hammer didn't play too much. He made 5 of 5 shots and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 11 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Today I want to play luxurious data. It's a bit difficult."

"Don't look at O'Neill's old age, he just has the ability to restrain the hammer, otherwise the hammer can achieve this stat?" Zhang Reasonable said with a smile.

In the second quarter, Li Ba continued to play, trying to make the data look better.

O'Neill sat on the bench and saw Li Ba come on the field, and shouted angrily, "Hammer, what are you doing?"

Li Bayu said to him earnestly: "There is no way, those who can do more work, now the development of the entire league is on my shoulders, I have to play a little longer, Shaq, you don't have to thank me."

O'Neal's eyes rounded instantly, and he swore that this was the most shameless person he had ever seen.

In the second quarter, because there was no restraint from O'Neal, although Li Ba didn't attack much, his energy exploded on the defensive end. Even if the Grizzlies were all outside shooting, he still frequently made help defenses to the outside line, not only completed many help defenses The supplementary defense forced the Grizzlies' offense to withdraw again, and the efficiency further declined.

单节，他拿下6分11篮板3助攻3抢断3盖帽1失误的数据。
