Chapter 517 One-Stop Dunk

"Western Finals!"

Next to him, in front of the Suns bench, Li Ba raised his fist and roared loudly.

"Western Finals! Western Conference Finals! Western Conference Finals..."

In the American West Arena, the audience responded with a bang, and the high momentum of the home court gathered again before going on the court.

Little General Johnson was a little envious. Dirk was good, but he rarely used words to boost morale.

But often such encouragement is very important, and can directly boost morale while suppressing the morale of the opponent.

The game restarted with the Mavericks on offense.

"Stephen, our defense has to be more active and aggressive. We are playing half-court pressing now. You press Terry immediately after half-time, slow down their transfer speed, and create opportunities for double-teams."

Before playing, Li Ba said to Marbury.

"Yes." Marbury nodded.

"Others watch their own people and prevent them from passing and receiving the ball quickly. Then whoever has the opportunity to double-team immediately, don't hesitate, your loopholes will be filled by others."

Li Ba exhorted.

Payton is eager to try on the side. He has 9 defenses and 1 DPOY. He is the most suitable point guard candidate for this tactic.

It's a pity that the Suns don't have his turn to be the main point guard, and this tactic consumes a lot of energy, and his physical fitness can't be the main point guard.

Mavericks attack.

Terry held the ball for halftime, and Marbury, who put a step forward in defense, suddenly forced him up and got close to him.

He wanted to pass the ball to Nowitzki, but Marion adopted a line defense, directly cutting off the passing line between them, and the ball was not transferred out immediately.

Then, the Suns double-teamed up.

The nearest Shane Battier rushed over directly and implemented a help defense.

His defense made it more difficult for Terry to pass the ball.

"This ball is over!"

Yu Jia shouted immediately.

Li Ba mentioned the free throw line and stared at the open Josh Howard.

"Here, Jason." Howard yelled, clapping his hands.

Terry finally found a gap and threw the ball out.

Li Ba had his eye on Howard early on, activated it immediately, emerged from behind Howard, swept past, and snatched the basketball.

"The third steal!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Marbury went down quickly, Terry turned back to defend, a step slower, the speed was not as good as the former, falling farther and farther.

Battier also made a quick layup at the same time, but Marbury didn't make the pass and went straight to the layup, giving Li Ba an assist.

The media doesn’t want to see Li Ba, but as a brother and teammate, Marbury has been helping Li Ba to collect assists since the start of the playoffs. The highest number of assists in a single game was 15, which directly allowed Li Ba to break the center forward. Assist history.

3:12, G2 game, the Suns lead the home court by 9 points.

"Poor Mavericks, you made 5 turnovers and only got 1 shot. The Suns went too far and didn't give you a chance. The Mavericks are not your mortal enemy. Your mortal enemy is the Spurs."

Barkley complained.

"They will meet in the Western Conference Finals," Smith added.

"Speed ​​up the running position, speed up the rhythm of passing and receiving the ball, speed up the transfer of the ball..." Little General Johnson yelled anxiously from the sidelines.

"He wants to fight and run away?" Frank complained on the other side.

"Haha..." the assistant coach Tarot next to him laughed.

Defensive coach Adams said with a smile: "As the rhythm speeds up, turnovers will inevitably increase. We have a hammer, which can fill many defensive loopholes and catch many opponents' turnover opportunities. The Mavericks speed up, which will do us more good than harm."

"Ron is right." Frank nodded with a smile.

The record of the Suns this season is so strong, he is very clear that the number one hero coach is not him, but Ron Adams who built the Suns' defensive system.

Of course, this is also inseparable from his cooperation and trust.

Mavericks attack.

Terry was ready to pass halftime, and Marbury's pressing had not yet started.

At this time, Finley reached 45 degrees from the right-wing three-point line and suddenly ran to the bottom corner.

Posey followed up, but Finley suddenly ran back and moved towards the top of the arc at high speed.

In the paint area, Li Ba stared at the active Finley, took a step below the free throw line, and made preparations for the defense.

At this time, Terry passed the half-court and threw the ball to Finley before Marbury forced him up.

Immediately after receiving the ball, Finley changed direction and rushed to the right elbow area, trying to enter the paint area from then on.

But as soon as he changed direction, he ran head-on into Li Ba who was jumping out.

Li Ba and Finley passed by each other, grabbing down with his left hand instantly.

"Where's the ball?"

Finley broke through Liba, and there were no more defensive players in front of him. He was still very happy in his heart, but he immediately realized that his ball did not pull up from the floor.

"Steal! A perfect supplementary steal!"

The Sun commentator's roar sounded instantly, and by the way, answered Finley's question.

Marbury went down quickly, and Terry frantically stopped.

Seeing this, Li Ba immediately stepped off and pushed forward with the ball himself.

He has long hands and arms, a low dribble height, good ball control ability, and fast advancing speed.

"Oh! The hammer has played a dragon, and the show is about to begin. Keep your eyes open so you don't miss it!" Barkley yelled immediately when he saw this.

Nowitzki's position was farther forward than Li Ba's, and he rushed over to stop Li Ba's advance, but the latter made a slight change of direction and directly knocked down the former. After a little slowing down, he picked up his speed again and continued to push forward crazily.

"ah!!!"

Huge cheers erupted in the American West Arena.

"Yeah, the hammer was reloaded and pushed forward, and Nowitzki was directly crushed..." the Sun commentator roared excitedly.

After Li Ba broke through Nowitzki, there was only Terry in front. Is this the one who can stop him?

No, when Terry saw Li Ba rushing towards him at high speed, he had only one reaction, get out of the way.

At this time, the Suns fans in the American West Arena have stood up collectively.

"Boom!"

Li Ba crossed the free throw line and took off in one step, soaring in the sky, dunked heavily with one arm, and smashed the ball into the basket.

"ah!!!!!!!!"

The fans who had been prepared for a long time erupted in the most enthusiastic cheers and applause like thunder.

"One-stop dunks, the hammer destroyed the Mavericks' offense on the defensive end, and exploded them on the offensive end. In the American West Arena, the Mavericks were bloody!"

Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"The Mavericks players obviously look low in morale, they only have to pant and wipe their sweat!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

"Defense!"

Li Ba landed with a loud roar, never slacking off for a moment, and once again led the team to start the suffocating defense of the Suns.

At the end of the first quarter, under the suffocating zone defense of the Suns, the Mavericks were blown up, and the Suns led the Mavericks by a big score.

At 10:45, the Mavericks only scored 10 points. They only made 9 shots in the whole quarter and made 3 goals, including 1 three-pointer, plus 4 free throws and 3-for-1. They made 15 turnovers in the whole quarter. One section exploded.

The Suns completed 12 steals in the whole quarter, including 6 by Li Ba, 2 by Marbury, 1 by Marion, 1 by Battier, 1 by Posey, and 1 by Payton who came off the bench later.

Of course, the Suns themselves also had 5 turnovers, but compared to the number of turnovers of the Mavericks, it is no big deal and the price is very small.
