Chapter 128 Capping the Melon

"Xiao En, how did you get hurt?" Li Ba ran over and asked.

"It hurt like that when I came down." Shrugging, Marion said helplessly.

"Either you're not active, or you're too tired. But we played three days ago, so, what did you do last night? How many girls did you find?"

Li Ba asked curiously.

Marion hurriedly yelled: "I didn't go anywhere, Hammer, don't wrong me, I'll just sleep in the hotel."

Li Ba looked at Battier, the two shared a room.

Battier shrugged, spread his hands at Li Ba, and did not answer.

"Okay, you'd better come back quickly, our scoring ability is not enough." Li Ba said helplessly.

"I will." Marion said.

"So, Hammer, now you have to make a move, go attack, get more points, and make a few fouls," Frank said.

"I will." Li Ba said.

At this time, the substitutions were completed, and the Suns replaced a veteran Scott Williams.

This is a substitute player for the Bulls dynasty from 90 to 93. He followed Jordan to get three championship rings. Like Tom who was bought out, he is an old guy who retired after finishing this contract. But his contract is very small, only one million dollars, not as good as Tom's more than ten million.

He has no offensive ability, averaging 5.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.6 blocks per game in his career. Let him come up, Frank hopes that he can help Li Ba control the rebound.

Nuggets offense.

Point guard Andre Miller and Anthony made a pick-and-roll at the 45-degree position of the left-wing three-point line. After the split, Anthony blocked Marbury, and Miller took a step toward the top arc, intending to shoot a three-pointer .

Because Marbury was blocked by Anthony, James Posey, who was defending Anthony, immediately came over to change defense, which formed a dislocation between the point guard and the small forward.

This dislocation, as long as the defense is timely, is beneficial to the Suns, because Posey is a small forward, and he has advantages in defense, height and wingspan.

But unfortunately, Andre Miller was just a fake pass. After attracting Posey, he threw the basketball to Anthony, who sank to the left bottom corner.

At this time, only Marbury was with Anthony.

It's another point guard-to-small forward mismatch, but this one works in Denver's favour.

After the dislocation, an open space is formed or a large one is formed to fight a small one. This is the practicality of the pick-and-roll tactics.

So, Anthony made a three-pointer without hesitation after receiving the ball.

"Shua!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

8:7, the Suns only lead by 1 point away.

Sun attack.

Li Ba and veteran Scott Williams finally ran to the frontcourt, ready to settle down.

Both teams were man-to-man. When he ran from the free throw line to the low post on the left wing, Nene under the basket took the initiative to defend.

As soon as Camby saw it, he immediately set his sights on Scott Williams, who was about to set up a low position on the right wing.

The strange thing is that Li Ba's speed did not slow down when he was approaching the low position.

Logically speaking, it should be stopped at this time, leaning in front of Nei Nei and getting ready to take a seat.

But he didn't, but suddenly raised his right arm, and his right hand shook twice sharply.

On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley saw this action, his eyes lit up, and he roared immediately: "The hammer is lowered, he is signaling for the ball...the ball is passed...the hammer accelerates and jumps..."

"boom!"

The basketball flew over his head, Li Ba chased it with his right hand, and then pressed it into the basket.

"Squeak..."

He hung one arm high above the Nuggets' rim, and the rim was shaking up and down.

10:7, the Suns led by 3 points.

The restless Pepsi Center was quiet again, and then returned to its original state.

Under the basket, on the edge of the reasonable collision zone, Nene and Camby looked at each other in blank dismay.

They didn't expect Li Ba to attack the basket suddenly just now, and they were only prepared to get stuck, but the basket was directly blown up by him.

They can be sure that Li Ba did not greet Marbury at all, and did not look back at Marbury's pass.

However, he was so unbelievable that he received a basketball from Marbury suddenly, and then dunked it.

"A lob without looking at the ball?"

At this time, they remembered Li Ba's five best balls they had seen.

When they saw it before, they didn't think it was a big deal, but now they finally realized the horror of this kind of ball.

"Oh... dog seller, Kenny, do you know why the Hammer was able to dunk this goal?" Barkley asked during the live broadcast.

"Because no one will know that the hammer will attack, the connection between him and Marbury happened at the moment when he waved his hand with Marbury behind his back." Kenny Smith said.

"Yes, the Hammer doesn't look at the ball at all. He can paralyze all opponents, even his teammates. Now I especially want to know how he trains this ability. Can he control the space to this extent?" Barkley There was an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Have you seen his five best shots the first two times? I noticed that the two times Marbury passed the ball, he yelled when he passed the ball. I think maybe the Hammers were based on Marbury's Passing time, and then simulated the trajectory of the basketball. Coupled with his ability to control the space, he achieved an alley-oop without looking at the ball. You know, people like Kidd and Stockton, they all Has the ability to pass the ball without looking at it. The difference with the Hammers is that he doesn't look at the ball and catches the ball," said Kenny Smith.

"Is it so amazing?" Barkley's eyes widened.

"Maybe his brain is a computer with analog computing functions? Maybe this is another kind of talent, who knows?"

Shrugging, Kenny Smith said.

"I want to say, this is another talent comparable to my big buttocks." Barkley touched his buttocks and said proudly.

"Oh, Charles, you're disgusting, haha!" Kenny Smith laughed.

Nuggets offense.

"Go in, I want their inside army wiped out."

On the sidelines, in front of the Nuggets bench, Nuggets coach Bzdelik waved his hand and roared.

"Aww!!!!!!!!!!!!"

These words immediately caused wild cheers and shouts in the Pepsi Center.

These words made the atmosphere of the Suns bench heavy.

"well!"

Marion, who was sitting on the bench, looked at his right ankle, which was wrapped in an ice pack, and sighed.

"Snapped!"

According to the coach's instructions, Anthony entered the left wing, received the ball 2.5 meters away from the left wing of the paint area, and began to punch James Posey with his back.

James Posey defended with all his strength, never retreating a step.

"Anthony backed Posey... the hammer came out!"

In the live broadcast, Barkley suddenly yelled.

Percy was pushed back half a step.

There was space behind, and Anthony immediately turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.

If Kobe's turnaround jumper is picturesque, then Anthony's fadeaway jumper is the stillness of time.

The terrible core strength of the waist and abdomen makes his ability to stay in the air seem to be able to stop time. This is a talent.

At this moment, Anthony was excited, he was going to score again, and the hammer who was the same agent as him could only look at the ball and sigh, he was not able to defend it at all.

He was lying on his back in the air, above the head of the desperate James Posey, shaking his swan-neck wrist, and threw...

"Snapped!"

A huge figure suddenly covered the sky, and a big yellow hand frantically slammed on the basketball he just shot. Under the blessing of terrifying power, the basketball disappeared instantly.

At this moment, Carmelo Anthony's face was full of shock and doubt.

"Aww!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Suns bench boiled instantly, all the players stood up, raised the white towels in their hands towards Li Ba, and kept shaking the other hand.

"oh!!!!!!!!"

The Pepsi Center was full of exclamations, and then turned into a sound of abuse and curses.

"Oh oh oh, the Hammer completed a help defense block two meters away from the paint area. This is a beautiful help defense!"

Barkley roared excitedly.

"You know, I've seen a few tapes of the Suns, and he did the same thing once against Gasol."

Kenny Smith said excitedly.

"Oh, tell me?" Barkley asked with interest.

"It was the same position. Gasol hit Amare Stoudemire with his back. The moment Gasol turned around, the hammer came out to attack, exactly the same as before." Kenny Smith laughed.

"That is to say, the hammer can be defended two to three meters?" Barkley said.

"No, he's only had two plays like that, so I don't think it's a regular one," Kenny Smith said.

"He is at the peak of his debut on the defensive end, but he is still improving a little bit, because his speed is improving a little bit, so I think sooner or later his defensive area will expand from the paint area." Barkley is sure.

"I agree with you." Kenny Smith nodded.
