Chapter 434 Numb Scalp
The two insiders are in the low position on the left and right wings, Bowen sinks to the left bottom corner, Parker is at the top of the arc, and Ginobili is active on the right wing.
Ginobili got Parker's pass through a reverse run, and drove the ball into the paint.
Marion immediately stepped up to defend.
But Ginobili twisted his waist and rushed in.
Marion hurriedly followed, and Duncan handed it over to Percy.
At this time, Li Ba had already reached the basket, and Lasu was still in the low position on the left wing and was emptied.
Ginobili rushed to the basket and was greeted by the vicious Li Ba, who immediately took off and shot.
Li Ba then jumped up to block the shot.
But he immediately realized that something was wrong. The angle and direction of the ball were wrong. This was not a shot, but a pass. Ginobili gave it to Rasu.
"Boom!"
Li Ba landed, turned around at the fastest speed, and rushed to the low position on the left wing.
Ginobili under the basket was watched by Marion, and he immediately moved to the free throw line, pulling Marion out of the basket.
Duncan then moved from the low post on the right wing to the basket, ready to grab the rebound.
In this way, through passing and moving, the paint area of the Suns was occupied by Duncan.
When Rasu received the ball, Li Ba threw himself one step away, and he immediately jumped up and shot.
Li Ba also jumped to block the shot.
This block was a bit reluctant, he felt a little touch, and after landing, he immediately turned around and rushed to the basket.
"boom!"
The ball bounced off the basket and bounced to the front.
Duncan moved out a bit, grabbed the rebound over Posey's head, and then jumped up again, with a big and a small, to dunk Posey.
"Snapped!"
At this time Li Ba swooped back, rose into the air, and slapped the ball from the side.
Neither man catches the ball, which bounces and is caught by Posey.
"oh!"
Not long after the opening, Duncan was blocked, and the audience exclaimed.
The Suns attacked, Marbury received the ball and advanced quickly.
Parker is too experienced and has been closely following Marbury. The Suns failed to make a fast break and turned to positional warfare.
Li Ba went at full speed, dropped Rasu, and ran directly to the basket, compressing the Spurs' defense, forcing Duncan to guard him, and forming a five-on-four frontcourt again.
Marion got open, pulled directly to the right-wing three-point line, and got Marbury's pass.
"boom!"
It's a pity that this open three-pointer was missed, and the ball bounced high to the left of the basket.
At this time, Lasu also went to the basket, and Duncan flanked Li Ba, and the three competed for the rebound.
Li Ba took off desperately in the two-person pinch, touched the ball first, clicked the ball, and then caught the ball through a better second take-off.
Immediately after landing, Li Ba held the ball with both hands, arched back vigorously, knocked Lasu half a step back, then immediately turned right, facing the basket violently.
Duncan jumped behind to block the shot.
"Snapped!"
A slap hit Li Ba hard on the left forearm, and then he took advantage of the situation to pull.
"boom!"
Li Ba's left hand was directly pulled away, and his right hand hit the basket. Of course, the ball also jumped up and missed.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded.
The two fell to the ground and bumped into a ball, supporting each other so they didn't fall.
"Tim, is it necessary to fight so hard in a regular season?" Li Ba shouted.
"What you said, it is my responsibility to make you unhappy." Duncan said.
"Okay, let's base each other's happiness on the other's unhappiness." Li Ba laughed.
Next, he hit the first free throw, and Li Ba became more confident in the second free throw. Then he hit the board with too much force and was caught by Duncan.
4:0, the Suns lead.
The Spurs frontcourt, the inside line emptied the basket, and Ginobili caught the ball on the right-wing three-point line and began to break through.
But Posey followed closely, and Ginobili's speed did not rise.
At this time, Duncan took the initiative to pull from the low position on the right wing to the wing and do a pick-and-roll.
Although Ginobili threw off Posey for the wall, he ushered in Marion's defense. He immediately passed back to Duncan, and then rushed into the paint without the ball, trying to pull Marion away.
But Marion didn't follow, turned around and started double-teaming Duncan with Posey.
Duncan jumped first and forced a shot in the double-team.
"boom!"
Hit the board.
4:2, the Spurs trailed by 2 points at home.
"This is the strength of the big basic skills. This mid-range shot is already two points in the mid-range, and he still scored in the double-team, strong!"
Zhang Li said in admiration.
Sun attack.
The Spurs returned to defense very quickly, especially the center Rasu, who ran with all his strength to avoid being thrown off by Li Ba again. Others also deliberately made some obstacles in front of Li Ba, so this time the Suns did not form a five-on-four frontcourt. situation.
"The Spurs' reaction was really quick." Zhang Lili laughed.
This time Li Ba went to the low position on the left wing first, then suddenly started to accelerate, threw away Rasu, and went to the basket.
As soon as Duncan on the opposite side saw it, he immediately moved to the basket.
But his opponent, Marion, went in the opposite direction and pulled directly to the right wing.
Bowen on the free throw line hurried over to defend, and his position was filled by Ginobili.
But Marbury's pass was very timely and reached the hands of Marion, who jumped up and shot before Bowen.
"Shua!"
The splash appeared and the mid-range shot hit.
"Yeah, Marion made one of two shots, and the Suns led the Spurs 6:2." The Suns on-site commentator roared loudly.
"The Spurs are still weak as a center. They are not as strong as the hammer, and they are not as fast as the hammer. It is very difficult to defend. As long as the hammer moves to the basket, Duncan must come to help defend, and Marion will be empty. It's too late." Zhang Lili yelled.
In the next few minutes, Parker took over the offense. He strengthened the pass after the breakthrough. Everyone got the rain and dew.
This style of play also makes it difficult for the Suns to concentrate their defense, and there are no key targets for double-teaming.
At the end of the first quarter, at 28:20, the Suns led by 8 points.
Li Ba made 2 of 2 shots and 1 of 2 free throws in a single quarter. He scored 5 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
He doesn't take many shots, and his main role on the offensive end today is to attract double-teams and make others open. Duncan's defense against him was also in place, and he didn't let him get a good shot. The next two shots were two offenses.
"The Suns' defense is still good, and the Spurs don't score much. Today, the Spurs' defense has a problem. The Suns scored 28 points in a single quarter." Yu Jia said.
"Rebounds 13:9, the Suns had 4 more shots. The number of shots, 27:20, the Suns had 7 more shots. The shooting percentages of both sides are similar, and they are not bad. The Spurs mainly lost on the rebounds. One in and one out, the number of shots is much worse. " Zhang Lili said.
"Another rebound, another rebound!"
On the bench at this time, Popovich also had a headache.
"You can't steal him."
While wiping his sweat, Duncan said helplessly: "He now moves more and more predictively, and his movement speed is faster than last season. He is a shot faster than me, and I am very passive in rebounding with him."
"Damn it, why did such a monster appear?" Popovich really had a headache.
No matter how good other people can grab rebounds, they only get 20 rebounds once in a while, maybe a few times in a lifetime, but this pest can grab 20 rebounds every 30 minutes. If it is like playing forty-eight minutes in the playoffs, how many rebounds do you have to grab? ? 30 per game?
When he thought that this number was an average per game, his scalp tingled.
