Chapter 528 Kill Me?

"You mean, out of the paint, Duncan's dominance will not be maintained?" Smith said.

"You're joking, Duncan who left the paint, what dominance is there? He can score points at most, a pitcher?" Barkley laughed.

Shrugging his shoulders, Smith said with a smile: "Yes, out of the paint, he can't make kills, he can't grab rebounds, he doesn't have a second offense, he can only be a shooter. So, he won't leave the paint, he won't leave the low post .”

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

The Spurs' offense turned to the outside, and Duncan's offense also took a step outside. This allowed the Spurs to start scoring more, but it did not completely solve the problem, because Duncan withdrew one step and could not control the rebound. Especially offensive rebounds, almost completely lost.

Especially on Li Ba's point, the Spurs can't solve it, and Nazr can't control Li Ba at all.

Li Ba, who is now faster, is not comparable to last season in his ability to assist in defense and return to defense.

His defense area has even covered the three-point line, which has caused great damage to the Spurs.

"Duncan shouldn't have withdrawn. This is wrong. He lost his dominance." Barkley said several times in the second half.

At 14:32, the Suns led by 18 points in the first quarter.

Li Ba made 5 of 5 shots and 1 of 2 free throws in a single quarter, causing Nazl to foul twice. He scored 11 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

The Spurs made 7 turnovers in a single quarter, grabbed 5 fewer rebounds than the Suns, and added blocks and steals, the number of shots in the whole quarter was 11 fewer than the Suns.

For the entire game, this is a huge gap, and for a quarter of the game, this is a huge gap, which makes Popovich's roar never stop.

"It's all trash. This is the Western Conference Finals. It's the Western Conference Finals. Are you awake?"

"Nazir, where's your hand? Why don't you hold him? If you're afraid of being elbowed, don't play in the NBA."

"Tim, who told you to withdraw? What about your rebound control? What about your second attack? You let me down!"

"Parker, Ginobili, you made a few shots, but what about your assists? How about breaking through the ball? How do you press the opponent's defense?"

"Bowen, where are your feet? Why don't you...well, you are all gentlemen, you are all gentlemen..."

From Duncan to Nazr, no one escaped, and they were all sprayed by Popovich in front of nearly 20,000 people at the scene and countless spectators watching the game all over the world. Get bloody.

In the second quarter, the Spurs were half the main force and half the bench. Duncan played for a full 10 minutes before leaving the field, while the Suns came off the bench.

At the end of the first half, at 42:52, the Spurs got back 8 points and were still 10 points behind.

"Dazhi, are you happy playing against Duncan?" Li Ba refused the on-site interview, and chatted with Dazhi on the way back to the locker room.

In the quarter just now, Duncan made 4 of 6 shots and 3 of 5 free throws, scoring 11 points and blowing up Dazhi.

"He's really strong, and he can't be defended." Dazhi shook his head and sighed.

He made 2 of 5 shots in this quarter, only scored 4 points, and was accompanied by three fouls. The gap is a bit big.

"You are more suitable for the rules of international competitions, and your confrontation ability is still poor. But it is not bad to be able to shoot 40% of the shots under his defense." Li Ba laughed.

Come back at halftime, the game restarts, and the Spurs attack.

Duncan played 22 minutes in the first half and played again.

He wanted a position in the low position on the right wing. According to Popovich's instructions, he did not withdraw again. Instead, he carried Marbury and went deeper to claim a position.

But he paid attention to Li Ba's movements behind, so as not to encounter Li Ba's help defense again.

Marion couldn't stand it anymore and let Duncan stand inside the paint.

In this position, Duncan can shoot, and if he misses the shot, he only needs to go in one step, and he can reach the basket to grab a rebound.

Li Ba has already reached the basket, staring at Parker at the top of the arc, as long as he dares to pass in, he dares to go up and steal the ball.

At this time, Ginobili cut to the flank from the right wing, received a pass from Parker, and then he didn't stop the ball and threw it directly to Duncan.

The Spurs did not pass the ball directly from the top of the arc, but passed this transition to prevent Li Ba from stealing.

Duncan received the ball, put his left hand against Marion, immediately jumped sideways, facing the baseline, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and sent a small hook.

Li Ba has moved behind Duncan, and then jumped up to block the shot.

But for this shot, Duncan has already taken off with all his strength, and with his wingspan, the height of the shot is very high, coupled with the small hook, the blocking distance is also very far, and he failed to block.

"Shua!"

The basketball passed the net.

44:52, the Spurs trailed by 8 points.

"Just a little bit."

Li Ba glanced at Nazr, he was dragged by this guy just now, which made him move a little slower.

Sun attack.

Li Ba first stopped at the low position on the left wing to observe Marbury's situation.

After the two looked at each other, Marbury suddenly accelerated and moved away from Parker's defense.

At the same time, Li Ba also suddenly cut to the basket.

When Duncan saw it, he immediately turned around and rushed to the basket.

After taking a step in, he saw Li Ba on the opposite side jump up, and the ball was also passed in. He immediately took another small step forward, adjusted it, and jumped up.

At this time, Li Ba grabbed the ball with both hands, faced Duncan's block, and smashed it to the basket with the ball.

Duncan doesn't have Li Ba's precise ability to block shots, he just does his best, and he can't let you hit it anyway.

"Snapped!"

Duncan slapped Li Ba hard on the right wrist.

"boom!"

The right hand was opened, and at the same time as the ball was released from his hand, Li Ba's left hand hit the basket.

"oh!"

The audience exclaimed.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, and the referee ran over.

"Cut me?" Li Ba touched his right wrist when he landed, it turned red, but that's all.

He glanced at Duncan, who had a stone Buddha on his face.

"Tim, you did a good job!" Parker and the others ran up and shouted.

"Through this tough defense, Tim boosted the morale of the Spurs." Barkley said.

"The hammer is not easy to deal with, and he will respond." Smith laughed.

"Of course." Barkley laughed.

Li Ba made a free throw. After aiming for three seconds, he took the shot and the ball hit the basket.

44:53, the Suns led by 9 points.

"Papa..."

For this free throw, the Suns fans gave warm applause.

"boom!"

But the second ball went out of the basket.

"Hey, you can't count on free throws against the Hammer." Some fans sighed.

Duncan grabbed the rebound and the Spurs attacked.

Li Ba turned around and ran, seeing Parker asking for the ball, he deliberately leaned over.

But Parker wasn't fooled, he didn't want the ball.

And Duncan passed to Ginobili, who pushed the ball forward.

Ginobili reached the 45-degree position of the left-wing three-point line, stopped for a while, and when Posey defended, he suddenly started again, twisted his waist, completed a breakthrough to Posey, and reached the flank.

The left wing is low, and Li Bashang is on the defensive.

But Ginobili broke into the three-point line and then suddenly stopped for a jumper after two steps.

Posy, who was chasing after him, made an emergency stop to block the shot, but missed the shot, and the ball had already been shot.

"Shua!"

Two points hit.

46:53, the Spurs trailed by 7 points.
