Chapter 1150 Barkley Is Too Wronged

The Suns attack.

Li Ba felt that he could not continue to do things in such a rigid manner. He wanted to cause some damage and increase the defensive pressure on the Mavericks.

"Dayao, I'll attack." He shouted to Dayao.

"Hey, the Hammers started to move actively under the basket." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Nowitzki and Josh Howard went around, Li Ba immediately withdrew to the low left wing, and Dayao's ball was passed down.

When Dayao passed the ball, Nowitzki and Josh Howard immediately blocked the path between Li Ba and the basket.

Nowitzki's turn was relatively slow. As soon as he turned around, Li Ba stepped in front of him, and he lost the opportunity to block it.

Josh Howard moved to the basket in one step. Before he could stop, Li Ba jumped up to meet him.

Josh Howard felt his eyes darken, and then there was a bang. In the violent impact, his upper body suddenly leaned back, and then the whole person was directly thrown away by the huge force. The tonnage of 95 kilograms was so powerful in Liba Under the impact, there was no resistance at all.

The next moment, there was a bang, and the basket above his head was smashed.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, Josh Howard blocked the foul, and Li Ba added a free throw.

"Lie down, Li Ba accelerated in two steps and knocked Josh Howard away. The impact was terrifying!" Yu Jia exclaimed excitedly.

"How can a swingman compete against a super center like the Hammers at the basket?" Xu Jicheng shook his head and smiled.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The Mavericks had no choice but to take advantage of Josh Howard's athletic ability and adopt a harassing defense that went around the front. Unexpectedly, the Hammers hit hard this time. They went directly to the basket and Josh Howard took a big hit. It’s a shame, look, I can’t get up.”

Under the basket, Josh Howard was lying on the floor sweating profusely, with his left hand on his lower back. Judging from his painful expression, he probably had a strained back muscle or an injury from a fall.

The Mavericks' team doctor went up, checked, and motioned for a stretcher. Josh Howard couldn't sit up and had to be carried off the field.

Junior general Johnson turned around helplessly and called substitute Marion, and gave him tactics: "Sean, you are familiar with the hammer, follow him closely and don't let him catch the ball."

As soon as Marion went up, he shouted to Li Ba: "Tie Hammer, don't do this to me, I want to fight for a few more years."

"Just don't block me at the basket." Li Ba said with a smile.

Marion didn't nod either, but the corners of his mouth twitched to show that he understood.

Nowitzki, who was standing on the sideline of the paint area waiting for a free throw, saw this scene and wondered if Marion was a traitor, right?

Marion's appearance did not solve the problem of the Mavericks. During his time with the Suns, he was a pseudo-poster and pseudo-power forward. Apart from grabbing rebounds, he did not do any dirty work in the post. Now that he is old and unable to do so, he just floats on the outside. Throw a few balls.

Now Li Ba mainly attacks the inside, using Tony Allen who was left open as a connecting point on the wing to pass the ball. Marion can't prevent Li Ba from receiving the ball, so he doesn't have much effect. Young general Johnson replaced him. The purpose was not achieved.

After one quarter, 22:34, the Suns led by 12 points.

Li Ba made 6 of 6 shots and 4 of 9 free throws in a single quarter. He scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 3 blocks. In addition to poor assists, he performed well on both offense and defense.

He caused a total of 5 fouls on the Mavericks in the paint, including one for Nowitzki, one for O'Neal, two for Dampier who came on as a substitute, and one for Josh Howard.

In the second quarter, the Suns came on the bench, with Marc + Diaw + Hill + Iverson + Rondo, which was as good as the starting lineup of an average team.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, are half main force and half substitute.

At halftime, 50:64, the Suns led by 14 points. The pure substitutes also beat half of the Mavericks' main lineup by two points.

Barkley said with a smile: "I estimate that the Suns' lineup will be dismantled next season, because these substitutes are too strong and they will never be able to get ahead in the Suns."

Kenny Smith said: "Yes, this is inevitable. There is no one who doesn't want to start. I think Iverson should leave next year. Gasol and Yi will enter the contract year next season. Yi is the main force, so he is not worried, but Gasol should have the idea of ​​leaving. The contract year is very important to him and he needs more opportunities.”

Barkley said: "Jia Kao and Yi are the same agent, that is, Gao we all know. But I still don't know what Gao is thinking? If Kao leaves the Suns, the Suns' bench depth will definitely be seriously affected. "

"Given the relationship between Gao and the Hammers, she should consider the Suns' lineup, but I think she will still support Garfield to leave the Suns, because the Hammers will also support Gargan to leave. This is his first The usual way." Kenny Smith laughed.

Barkley added: "Yao will definitely leave next year, and a team will definitely offer him a big contract. Then Rondo may also have the idea of ​​​​leaving, because he did not get the main point guard position in the Suns. , and he has the ability to become the main point guard of a team.”

Kenny Smith smiled: "If the Suns succeed in defending their title this time, then next season will be another dynasty defending season. If these players leave, the Suns will have many difficulties in defending their title. This is an opportunity for other teams."

"Hurry up and come to the Suns to mine. You'll benefit from the Suns and you'll get two birds with one stone!" Barkley shouted excitedly.

Kenny Smith looked at Buckley with a strange look on his face and said, "Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death with a hammer?"

Barkley's neck shrank when he heard this, but he immediately stiffened his neck and shouted: "Would I be afraid of him? I'm not easy to mess with."

"I guess Mr. Sarver will definitely not retire your Suns jersey." Kenny Smith laughed.

Barkley said with both grievance and indignation: "They have long wanted to retire my jersey. I know this, I know.

They only have the hammer in their eyes, but I am also a Suns legend. Although I didn't bring the championship to the Suns, I have also worked hard for the Suns here. Why are you so cruel to me?"

Seeing Barkley's appearance, Kenny Smith lowered his head and laughed so hard that his shoulders shook constantly. He really couldn't control it.

At this time in Los Angeles, at the home of old Buss, he also heard Barkley's words, and couldn't help but move his heart. Yes, digging the Suns, wouldn't it be fattening the Lakers?

Next to him watching the game were Jeanie Buss and Jim Buss. At this time, Jeanie Buss said: "Father, we can trade Gasol. He is a real center and tends to defend. This is what we need. Without Gasol, the depth of the bench will be reduced, which will definitely increase the burden on the main players, which is very beneficial to us."
