Chapter 1359 Birdman

"Shit!"

Erik Spoelstra cursed as the injury appeared just after the game started.

He glanced at Li Ba angrily, feeling extremely helpless.

This madman, he only has a few games left, is he looking for a few people to take the blame?

He waved to the bench and called up the birdman Chris Anderson.

This is a forward who came back from the Chinese Basketball League. He has excellent jumping ability and plays hard. He must fight for the first ball and the first rebound. He has excellent blocking ability and is said to have practiced fly-catching training.

At this time, the team doctor checked Favors and said to Erik Spoelstra: "Erik, his neck muscle is strained and he can't play in this game."

"Damn it!"

Erik Spoelstra cursed irritably.

4:6, the Suns lead at home, and the Heat attack.

The same tactics, James point guard, so that Li Ba can be attracted, and then Wade responds outside, and three forwards rush in to grab rebounds.

"James, you double-team Wade." Li Ba shouted loudly while retreating.

Harden immediately rushed to Wade, and he and Hill implemented a double team in advance.

Drummond was under the basket, and Jimmy Butler, two people dealt with the three forwards of the Heat.

As long as the ball was passed in, the Heat could form an advantage of more people against fewer people under the basket.

James saw this, and everyone saw this.

Similarly, Li Ba was of course very clear, so what he had to do was to prevent James from passing the ball in, let the ball die in his hands, and prevent the other four Heat players from getting the ball.

James singled out Li Ba, and the pressure came up immediately, because he had never taken advantage of Li Ba in singles, but was taken advantage of by Li Ba.

He approached the top of the arc, and he knew that Li Ba's defense was full of initiative, so he suddenly made a breakthrough move, trying to shake Li Ba off, and then pass or shoot.

But he predicted wrongly, and Li Ba didn't retreat at all.

Why didn't Li Ba retreat?

His brain was not broken, there were five people piled up in the paint area, what was James doing? James can only shoot or pass from the outside, and there is no breakthrough space, so no matter how real James's breakthrough is, his first reaction is to hold himself down.

James was a fake breakthrough, and this time he failed to shake Li Ba off. Because he did not keep up with the subsequent force, he stopped beside the latter, and the ball was a little out of control, and even strictly speaking, he was a little traveling.

At this time, Li Ba moved, turned around, stole the ball behind James, grabbed the ball that was a little out of control with one hand, and then turned and ran fast.

"Beautiful, the iron hammer stole the ball and ran fast, no one in the Heat could keep up with his fast break... Tomahawk slam dunk!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

4:8, the Suns led.

The Heat attacked again.

Wade was watched by Harden and Hill again. The Suns were two-on-three under the basket, and James singled out Li Ba again.

"Come out and do a pick-and-roll!" Head coach Erik Spoelstra shouted on the sidelines.

Marvin Williams ran out immediately.

Li Ba "saw" someone coming up from behind, and he observed that James was waiting for the pick-and-roll, so when the person behind was about to arrive and one step away, he suddenly pressed James closely.

At this time, seeing that the pick-and-roll was about to arrive, James' attention was distracted. He was preparing for the next move, and he didn't expect Li Ba to stick to him at this time.

Yu Jia excitedly screamed: "Mistake, lost the ball, Tiechui stole James again, he was fast, he rushed into the top of the arc..."

Li Ba held the ball and pushed forward frantically, forming a strong impact force with the blessing of speed, explosive power and weight.

James followed Li Ba one step behind him and gradually caught up.

But at this time, Li Ba stepped into the paint area, holding the ball in his left hand, carrying James in his right hand and flying up.

"Bang!"

The moment he hit the basket with one arm, the whole backboard was broken.

"Yeah!"

The whole audience stood up and cheered for this ball.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah..."

Guoguo jumped up and cheered non-stop.

"A super heavy dunk from the basketball god, Iron Hammer, he shattered the Heat's backboard!" Barkley screamed crazily.

"Wow..."

Behind the baseline, James panted, and on the floor in front of him stood Li Ba, with broken glass all over the floor.

The reporters next to him frantically pressed the shutters in their hands to freeze this moment.

4:10, the Suns led, and the game entered the timeout time.

When Li Ba left the court, everyone in the front row stood up and applauded him to celebrate.

The two teams returned to the bench, and the atmosphere was completely opposite. The Heat's morale was extremely low.

One was injured, and another three consecutive blocks were swallowed. The backboard was shattered again. The successive blows made the pressure in the hearts of all Heat players explode tenfold, including James and Wade, and even felt a kind of panic in their hearts.

"Champion! Champion! Champion..."

At this time, thousands of Phoenix fans present began to shout, and then Li Ba's fans began to join them. The entire American West Arena was boiling, and the home atmosphere reached its limit.

Thirty minutes later, the rebounds were replaced and the game resumed.

The two teams did not change their lineups. The Heat attacked and James advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

The Heat wanted to boost morale, and the only way to boost morale was to dunk and return one.

Therefore, the Heat changed their offensive tactics, and the human wave tactics were replaced by breakthrough points and pick-and-roll tactics.

To use breakout tactics, Millsap, Marvin Williams, and Chris Anderson must all clear the Suns' paint area for James and Wade to break through.

However, the Heat's lineup has a weakness in the sudden scoring tactics, that is, Birdman Anderson can only live in the paint area. 80% of his offense is at the basket, and there are very few shots near the basket. There is no threat when he is pulled out.

At the same time, Millsap and Marvin Williams' three-pointers are not very good. Even if they can pull out, they can't get far.

But you can still fight.

Birdman came up to set up a pick-and-roll for James, and Millsap and Marvin Williams were left and right, but the Suns' basket was still empty.

But Drummond and Butler were not pulled too far, just on the edge of the paint area. As long as Wade or James broke through, they could shrink back to defend the basket.

At this time, Millsap pulled directly to the right three-point line and set up a pick-and-roll for Wade.

His three-point shooting rate this season is 33.3%, averaging 0.5 shots per game, but his two-point shooting rate is 42%, averaging 2.3 shots per game. If he and Wade do the pick-and-roll, it is not just a matter of doing it. After the wall is stretched, he can stay near the three-point line and attract the Suns' defense.

But Birdman Anderson is just a simple wall. After being dismantled, he can only move down and lead the Suns' defense into the paint instead of staying outside to attract defense.
