Chapter 1363: Explosive Opening

This is a gesture of a breakthrough tactic, but in fact, the Heat's first tactic today is not to cause damage, because if Drummond, the rookie, is beaten, Li Ba will return to the paint area, and then the Heat's offense will be more difficult to get in.

So the Heat's first tactic today is to let James pin Li Ba on the weak wing, use the exchange tactic, and then launch the offense from the strong side.

Of course, if this tactic fails, there will be a second set of tactics, a third set of tactics...

Wade saw it and started immediately, cutting into the wing from the three-point line, rushing to the paint area, and looking at the top of the arc from time to time.

At this time, Deron passed the ball, Wade received the ball, and rushed to the basket.

Drummond was inexperienced, and he lost Favors when defending Wade. At this time, Wade passed the ball, Favors received the ball and dunked, smashing the Suns' basket.

"George, follow your man closely." Payton shouted on the sidelines.

George Hill quickly raised his hand and nodded.

With just this one ball, Li Ba understood how the Heat would play today.

When running to the front court, he said to Drummond: "Andre, you come with James, focus on defending his three-pointers and long two-pointers."

"Okay, boss." Drummond nodded quickly.

Let Drummond defend James, there is a basis. His speed is the same as Li Ba. Although he is a center, he has the speed of the front line, and his return run is very fast. The athletic ability of this rookie is definitely the type of explosion.

The Suns attacked, Li Ba was in the high position, and he wanted to pass Harden's ball.

Millsap defended below, not defending from the top, but letting go one step.

Drummond and Favors were under the basket.

Li Ba held the ball facing the basket, suddenly took the first step, and rushed to the basket head-on.

Millsap quickly retreated to the basket, and Favors under the basket immediately lost Drummond. The two stood together in front of the reasonable collision zone, blocking Li Ba's breakthrough.

Li Ba made a quick stop jump shot, but failed to hit.

But fortunately, the rebound was under the basket, and Drummond was in the best position. He grabbed the rebound and sent a dunk.

Two draws, Heat attack.

James found that Drummond had caught up with him, and Li Ba went to the basket, and immediately moved to the wing, close to the paint area.

This action was also the result of the discussion the day before yesterday. On the offensive end, it was intentional to get close to the paint area, thereby pressuring the Suns' defensive lineup, especially to prevent Li Ba from coming out of the basket, and then further compress its defense through breakthroughs, so that the outside line could get an open opportunity.

After receiving the ball, James found a problem. Facing Drummond's huge tonnage, he could not launch his best crushing breakthrough.

He immediately tried other ways to break through, but it was not easy. The rookie's pace moved very fast and kept up with his rhythm.

But in the end, he still used his experience to break through this rookie and rushed with the ball...

Li Ba had been impatient for a long time. He just wanted to see Drummond's defensive heat, otherwise he would have gone up to help defend.

Drummond's huge body gave him the best cover. When James finally bypassed Drummond, he ran into his defense.

"Break the ball! Break the ball!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

As soon as the ball was lost, James turned around and chased, but he was two steps slower than Li Ba. When he started the first step, he was three steps behind.

Beside him, there was Drummond who started at the same time.

When Li Ba rushed into the paint area from the right elbow area with the ball, Wade, who was returning from the wing, desperately blocked him in front.

"Are you going to die?" Barkley shouted in surprise.

Wade really tried his best. Li Ba was about to quit the league. As a rookie in 2003, he had been suppressed for a full ten years. His current state has begun to decline from the peak. This is the last time for him to prove himself on Li Ba. Even if his bones are broken, he has to grit his teeth and stand.

At this moment, his whole body was tense.

Like him, everyone who saw this scene was tense.

The next moment, Li Ba took a step forward, changed direction and rushed past Wade, pulled to the left wing, and left the paint area.

"Huh!"

Wade breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, everyone who saw this scene breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Li Ba passed the ball and hung it in front of the right side of the basket.

James and Drummond rushed over, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed past Wade.

James rushed past Wade's left side. He had already seen Li Ba's pass. At this moment, he jumped up and stretched his arms as much as possible.

But unfortunately, the lob was very high and he couldn't reach it.

Drummond rushed past Wade's right side, jumped up to meet the ball, grabbed the ball with both hands, and pressed it towards the basket with all his strength.

"Bang!"

With the impact of the huge tonnage of 127 kilograms, this double-arm dunk directly sank the Heat's basket.

"Yeah!"

The whole audience cheered.

"Shit!"

Wade cursed.

Risking being hit to death, he still couldn't defend this ball, which made him very angry.

2:4, the Suns led, and the Heat attacked.

James didn't break through this time. He took the ball three steps away from the paint area, singled out Drummond, used his experience to shake off the latter, and then hit a mid-range shot.

Looking back, Li Ba got the ball in the low post on the left wing and singled out Millsap.

James immediately let Butler go and double-teamed him.

But at this time, Butler cut into the paint area from James, and Li Ba immediately raised his hand and made a pass.

James's defensive attention was distracted, and at this time Li Ba completed the bottom run with the fastest turn and broke through Millsap behind him.

Under the basket, Drummond squeezed Favors with his huge tonnage, making room for Li Ba to attack the basket.

"Bang!"

Li Ba flew up, raised one arm high, and slammed the ball into the basket fiercely.

Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "Beautiful! The hammer broke the double team of the Heat..."

Zhang Heli said: "The cooperation of this ball was good, and Butler's off-ball cut was very timely."

Xu Jicheng said: "The hammer is more advantageous in the low post than in the high post, because he wants to break through. It is easier to double-team in the high post, and in the low post, with his turn, even without Butler's cut-in cooperation, he actually has a great chance to complete the bottom run."

4:6, Heat attack.

Deron approached the top of the arc, while making tactical gestures, and then the three forwards all rushed to the paint area.

Li Ba saw that this must be a tactic where Deron or Wade shot from outside, and then three forwards protected the offensive rebound.

"Double-team the ball handler." He yelled immediately.

Butler moved upon hearing the sound and immediately rushed towards Deron.

Deron glanced at Wade, and before he could shake off George Hill, he had to shoot before Butler came up.

He missed, the ball hit the basket, and Li Ba grabbed the rebound.

"The double-team was very timely, causing Deron to shoot a little early, and James and Millsap were not in place yet, so they failed to protect the offensive rebound, so the Heat's offensive tactic failed."

Barkley analyzed.
