Chapter 916
On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "The Grizzlies don't double-team the Hammers, and now the disadvantages have come out, they released the lethality of the Hammers at the basket.

O'Neal made 2 fouls, Swift made 3 fouls, Gasol made 1 foul, three insiders, and 6 fouls on the Hammers in one quarter, which was very lethal. If this is not resolved, the Grizzlies had no insiders in the second half. "

The second quarter starts soon.

O'Neill rested for half a quarter and played again.

He stood up from the bench, and Li Ba would definitely not sit down, otherwise the Sun's inside line would be blown up directly.

The main force of the Suns is Li Ba, and the Grizzlies are the same.

The Grizzlies' bench is very deep, with five scoring points, Artkins in fourth and Warrick in fifth are on the bench, and there are other substitutes who can score.

However, the Suns' bench score is not bad. David Lee hits the basket and has rebounds. Kevin Martin has a long shot from the outside. Tony Allen can also hit the basket.

In the second quarter, Li Ba played the main defense and fought for rebounds with O'Neal. After half a quarter, Gasol replaced O'Neal.

In this quarter, although Li Ba was still pinned down in the paint by O'Neal and Gasol, and he didn't have a lot of outside help defense, after all, he only needed to deal with one person at the same time. He still sent three steals and three blocks in a single quarter. Two blocks and two steals were given to the Grizzlies outside.

After halftime, 48:66, the Suns led by 16 points.

During the intermission, Barkley said: "It seems that although O'Neal can press the hammer in the paint area and even attract it to the basket, preventing him from helping to defend the outside line and limiting his defense, but the offensive end is single. Can't help it, it's a bit troublesome."

"I think in the second half, the Grizzlies might double-team the Hammers," Kenny Smith said.

"Why?" Barkley asked.

"Not to mention the second quarter. In the first quarter, the Suns' main outside shots were few, and they didn't play in the second quarter. After halftime, I watched the hammer play alone. How would I feel in the second half? If I were the coach of the Grizzlies, You must try the touch of the sun outside, if not, then double-team the hammer directly." Kenny Smith said.

"It makes sense." Barkley nodded.

Back at halftime, the game begins.

Grizzlies attack.

O'Neill began to exert his strength on the offensive end, holding a position in the low post on the left wing.

At this time Rudy Gay suddenly activated on the right wing and made an air cut.

Although Ginobili is active in defense, he is not as good as Rudy Gay in terms of tonnage, height, and even athletic quality, and he is forced behind.

As Rudy Gay cut into the paint, Marbury passed the ball, forcing Liba to let go of O'Neal and return to the basket.

Rudy Gay received the ball, took a step forward, leaped high to meet Li Ba's block, and threw the ball over Li Ba's head to O'Neal on the opposite side of the basket.

His quality is so good, he can jump higher and faster than Li Ba, and Li Ba's block fails.

"boom!"

O'Neal made an alley-oop and dunked with both hands, sinking the Suns' basket by two feet.

"Are you cool, Hammer?" O'Neal yelled at Li Ba as he let go of the basket.

But Li Ba ignored him, and started to get off immediately.

Rudy Gay was right behind Li Ba, trying to block him, but he swung his arm away.

"Fast, fast!"

Frank yelled at Marion.

"Return to defense! Hurry back to defense!"

Grizzlies coach Mike yelled at the field.

When Li Ba crossed the center line, Rondo didn't get off quickly. He stayed in the backcourt to catch the ball and dragged Marbury in the backcourt.

Battier followed from the left and right wings, and was still in front of Liba, and Mike Miller followed up.

Ginobili and Rudy Gay followed behind Li Ba. The latter wanted to overtake Li Ba to block him, but the former blocked him by using his speed and could not rush forward.

Ginobili's other qualities are not as good as Guy's, but he is smaller and faster.

At this time, Marion's ball was sent out, and it was not given to Rondo, but directly to Li Ba.

Li Ba received the ball, and there was no obstacle in front of the middle. After entering the paint area, he jumped up, raised one arm high, and smashed forward in an instant.

"boom!"

The Grizzlies' basket was blown.

"Shaq, are you happy?"

After smashing the grizzly bear's basket, Li Ba landed, turned around and yelled at O'Neill on the opposite side.

"There is something waiting for me to come up!" O'Neill said angrily.

"Now the Grizzlies have exposed another weakness. They can't defend against the fast break of the Hammers." Barkley roared excitedly.

At this time, Kenny Smith said: "Charles, you said that if the Grizzlies can suppress the hammer in the low position, they will have a chance to eliminate the Suns. Do you still think so?"

Barkley laughed and said: "I just said there is a chance, not sure."

At this time, the Grizzlies attacked, and O'Neal directly asked for a position at the basket.

When Li Ba came over, he would not waste his physical energy to push O'Neal out. With O'Neal's tonnage, he could not easily push him.

Marbury saw that O'Neal was about to get in position in front of the basket, and after hesitating for a moment, he threw the ball in.

He didn't really want to pass because he knew Li Ba's defensive ability too well.

At the moment he shot the ball, he saw Li Ba suddenly appear from behind O'Neal and grabbed O'Neal's side in front of him.

"really!"

Marbury secretly said, and immediately posted Rondo in front of him.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba steals the ball and then rushes forward. Seeing that Rondo is stuck by Marbury, he passes the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili received the ball and pushed hard, and Marbury returned to the basket first. The former was not afraid of the defense, and after changing direction, he forced a layup. Not only did he score, but he also got a thug foul from Marbury.

Zhang Lili sighed: "It's not that O'Neal is not strong, but that the Hammer's defense is too strong! The steal just now, his attack was really too fast!"

Yu Jiadao: "First he pushed O'Neal from the back, and then suddenly withdrew his strength and went up to grab, which made O'Neal's center of gravity move, and he couldn't respond in time, so as to ensure that he successfully completed the steal. Absolute strength, top-level response, top-level No. [-] One step, everything is top-notch, and there is nothing missing.”

Zhang Lili said: "It seems that although the Grizzlies are strong, they are still weaker than the Suns. In this series, the Suns should have no problem."

Sun attack.

Li Ba asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing. At this time, Marion suddenly started, throwing off the relatively slow-moving Gasol, and cutting to the basket.

Li Ba didn't pause after receiving the ball, and directly passed back to the basket, and Marion dunked successfully.

"Come on, this is a weak-side back-cut tactic that the Suns have played a lot this season. It means that the hammer takes the ball on the strong side, attracts the defense, and then Marion or Ginobili implements a back-cut from the weak side. It's very efficient." Zhang Lili said.

"Marion and Ginobili are both on the weak side of the sun. As long as the hammer is on the strong side, the weak side is really hard to defend!" Yu Jia laughed.
