Chapter 529 Hammer Was Too Honest Before

Sun attack.

Li Ba walked towards the basket again, and approached the basket with Nazr on his shoulders.

The right wing is low, and Duncan didn't double-team the first time.

Double-teaming should pay attention to timing. It must be after Marbury passes the ball. If the double-teaming is done in advance, Marion will get an open position.

At this time, Marbury at the top of the arc suddenly took a quick step back.

Almost at the same time, Duncan took Marion on his shoulders and took a step towards the paint.

The next moment, as soon as Marbury takes the ball, his double-teaming will start.

At this moment, Li Ba under the basket suddenly exerted force and squeezed Nazr into the reasonable collision zone, then turned around and blocked Nazr.

At this time, Marbury passed the ball in. Li Ba grabbed the ball with his right hand and firmly grasped the ball.

At the same time, Duncan pounced.

After Li Ba grabbed the ball, he quickly retracted the ball, and his right elbow hit Nazr's chest behind him, and the latter took half a step back with a muffled grunt.

As soon as Nazir retreated, Li Ba immediately turned around and jumped up.

"boom!"

The Spurs basket was blown.

Duncan's double-team has arrived, but in the end it was half a beat too late, and he can only look at the basket and sigh.

At this time, the whistle also blew, and the referee signaled that Nazr blocked the foul.

"This is the problem inside the Spurs. Duncan doesn't have a good helper. Nazr can't carry the hammer at all. He can't carry it for half a second. He can't even grasp the opportunity to chop the hammer. If Duncan's helper changes Cheng Daben, the Hammer's attack may not be able to play this time, Daben will stand up to him, and wait for Duncan's help to defend." Barkley said.

"Like double Wallace defending O'Neal?" Kenny Smith laughed.

"Yes, as long as Ben is strong enough, the Hammer's offensive method at the basket is far inferior to O'Neal's. Double Wallace has a great chance to defend against the Hammer." Barkley analyzed.

"But it's just the hammer on the offensive end, which is not the most important thing for the Suns." Smith said.

"Yeah, this is the horror of the hammer. You can defend against the hammer on the offensive end, but the hammer on the defensive end is even more difficult to control. That is a monster. He can block you at will, steal you at will, Random rebounds," Barkley laughed.

Li Ba made an extra free throw, 46:56, with a 10-point difference.

Spurs attack.

Ginobili broke through with the ball on the left wing again.

His breakthrough ability is indeed strong, and Posey's defense is in place, but he twisted and twisted, and he did not know how to complete the breakthrough.

But this time, Shane Battier at the free throw line completed the defense in time to block Ginobili on the left wing.

At this time Li Ba stepped up from the low position.

Manu Ginobili faked the pass, shook Battier and passed the ball.

At this moment, Li Ba quickly started, stretched his left arm forward, and cut in time on the passing line between Ginobili and Bowen.

Because of Battier's supplementary defense, Bowen had a short open space, and Li Ba stared at the open space and completed the steal in time.

"Beautiful steal! Marbury is going down, he gets a pass from the Hammers...he's a step ahead of Parker...it's a step and a half now...he's in the paint...layup...yay!"

The roar of the Suns commentator sounded, then stopped abruptly at the moment the goal was scored, and was then replaced by cheers from the audience.

46:58, the Suns led by 12 points.

"Manu, you have been intercepted countless times by that guy, why can't you remember? Why?" Popovich roared from the sidelines.

Spurs attack.

Parker signaled to open so that Bowen took Battier to the left corner and Ginobili took Posey on the left three-point line.

Parker held the ball close to the top of the arc. Before Marbury came up, he suddenly accelerated, changed direction, rushed past Marbury, and rushed to the right elbow.

Li Ba had already entered the basket, and at this time he took a step up, trying to block Parker.

At the same time, Ginobili suddenly ran backwards, ran from the forty-five-degree position to the top of the arc, and took a step behind Posey.

Parker met Li Ba, took the ball again and changed direction, and pulled it to the right wing.

Marbury behind quickly changed direction and followed.

As for Li Ba, he saw Ginobili's running position, so instead of retreating to the basket, he stepped out of the free throw line.

With the Spurs pulling apart, the Suns' zone defense has been unable to make up for it in a timely manner.

For example, at this time, Battier was firmly attracted by Bowen in the left corner, and he could not defend Nazr under the basket.

Therefore, Li Ba's current move is taking a risk. He is betting that Parker will pass the ball to Ginobili.

The reason is simple, Ginobili is Parker's trusted offensive point, but Nazr is not.

There's another reason, he's betting... Parker is betting that he won't leave the paint, not let the rim go all the way.

However, he chose to guard against it.

As he stepped out of the free throw line, Parker twisted and passed the ball to ... the top of the key.

Pushing his feet hard, Li Ba accelerated with all his strength, stretched his right arm, and with a snap, he snatched the ball before Ginobili.

"asshole!"

On the sidelines, Popovich's eyes were tearing apart.

Li Ba swept past Ginobili, like a rampaging rhinoceros, and rushed to the frontcourt with the ball.

His position is the first.

Ginobili turned around to chase and was already two steps behind. By the time he caught up with Li Ba, he had already reached the top of the arc.

He wanted to pass from the right side and steal Li Ba, but the latter grabbed the ball directly in his hands.

In this way, Ginobili has no chance at all.

Li Ba strode across the free throw line, jumped up, and smashed his arms.

"boom!"

The Spurs' basket suddenly sank two feet, and when Li Ba was swinging high, the reporters and media behind the baseline frantically pressed the shutter in their hands amidst the exclamation.

"Yeah! A perfect steal and a one-stop dunk! The hammer blasted the Spurs on both offense and defense..." The roar of the Suns commentator instantly resounded through the audience.

At the same time, all the Suns fans got up from their seats, raised their arms and shouted, and the decibels of the American West Arena climbed to a peak in an instant with a bang.

"Kill the horse!"

Li Ba landed and roared wantonly at the cameras.

"Crack, click..."

Those shots captured Li Ba's ferocious, arrogant, ostentatious, hormonal-filled face at this time, and fixed it one by one.

The one-stop super heavy dunk after this steal once again suppressed the morale of the Spurs.

In the following time, the Suns continued to maintain their advantage.

At the end of the third quarter, 62:82, the point difference widened to 20 points.

"No team can overtake the Suns by 20 points in a single quarter. With the Suns' defense, the Spurs can't do it either. I declare that the Suns will win the Western Conference Finals G1."

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley spoke half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"Charles, although you are joking, I support your statement." Kenny Smith laughed.

"The Hammer didn't get the cap in the third quarter, and now it's only two caps away, which is 5*5. Come on!" Yu Jia said excitedly.

"The stats of superstars are all based on swiping. Hammer was too honest before, and suffered a lot." Zhang Li shook his head regretfully.

"That's right, people can't be too honest, you have to take what should be yours. The big contract like the hammer, the media is complaining that this is a bad contract, but if the hammer is not taken, his worth and status in the league will be destroyed." You can’t get in. If you get an annual salary of 10 million, which is the same price as Dampier, it means that your status in the league is the same as him. Otherwise, why only take so much? A superstar is the price of a superstar, and a superstar is the price of a superstar O'Neal went to the Heat, 100 million in 5 years, which represents his worth and status."

Yu Jia's topic got off the ground.
