Chapter 87
"boom!"
The ball hit the basket and bounced to the opposite side of the basket.
Li Ba stretched out his hand when Dayao turned around for a jump shot, but he didn't jump up to block the shot. This was not because of any private agreement, but because he didn't think it was necessary.
He believes that his defense has affected Dayao's shooting percentage, so what he needs to do most at this time is to turn around and grab a rebound.
So he turned around immediately after Dayao shot.
Sure enough, after he completed his turn, the ball hit the basket.
The first step of the frontal start is the fastest. Li Ba immediately rushed to the basket, took half a step ahead of him, and then immediately made a turn around to catch the rushing Katoka behind him.
Xiaobawang was weaker than Cato in terms of strength and had been stuck outside. Seeing an opportunity, he rushed over immediately to grab a rebound.
"mine!"
As soon as Li Ba saw someone rushing over, no matter who it was, he immediately yelled, soared into the sky, stretched his right arm upwards, and grabbed the ball with his right hand.
"It's nice to have a long arm!"
Dayao once again witnessed how Li Ba grabbed rebounds. Not only did he have a good sense of positioning, but he didn't jump very high at all, and he bullied people with his long arms.
"How did he practice this position-grabbing player who doesn't watch the ball? Find an opportunity to ask him."
And he witnessed another time when Li Ba moved without looking up at the ball, but he was able to move to the position of the ball without looking up at the ball's movement, which made him move faster than other players. No wonder he was able to grab so many rebounds.
"Fast break!" Frank roared from the sidelines.
But at this time, Cato started to grab the ball, forcing Li Ba to raise one arm high, failing to pass the ball for a while.
"Snapped!"
Cato jumped up to grab the ball and slapped Li Ba's hand.
"flute!"
The bald referee on one side blew his whistle without hesitation and gestured for a thug foul.
"This is a rookie, not a superstar. Why are you so strict about blowing the whistle? Is it the other way around?"
Cato shook his head and raised his hands, feeling a little dazed.
Li Ba serves from the sideline, and Marbury advances to the frontcourt, waiting for Li Ba to settle down.
This time Dayao was smart, he didn't wrestle with Li Ba in the low post, so as not to waste his energy, he went in and out of the edge of the paint, ready to pick up rebounds.
Xiaobawang weighs the same as Li Ba, but is stronger in explosive power, while Cato is a meat shield, and his weight is now as high as nearly 120 kilograms, so in terms of basic strength, the former is much smaller.
This led to Xiaobawang being somewhat passive in terms of important positions, and could only be flexible in ordering positions.
He took two steps up diagonally, reached the left wing, and asked Marbury for the ball.
Marbury didn't card him, gave it.
After receiving the ball, the bully let out a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that if these guys didn't even give him the ball, he would be finished.
He himself knows very well that he belongs to the type of insider who can eat cakes. If there is no pass to him, he will not have any ability to compete with the Hammer. If there is a pass, he will still have the ability to compete.
At the moment of receiving the ball, Xiaobawang suddenly turned right, took advantage of Cato's bulkiness, completed a breakthrough, and entered the paint area in one step.
There are two kinds of his back-up habits, one is to turn around after receiving the ball and withdraw three threats, and the other is to turn around and slide to the bottom.
Of course, now that he's been promoted, he can't be considered a slippery bottom.
The reason why he chose this breakthrough attack method is that Xiaobawang hopes to complete the attack in the most violent way. He wants everyone to know and understand that he is the most dazzling, and he is the future leader of the sun.
The Mosaic team started, in addition to point guards Francis, Dayao, and Cato, as well as shooting guard Catino Mobley and small forward Jim Jackson.
These few are not defensive champions, including Cato and Dayao.
Therefore, when the bully rushed to the basket, there was nothing in front of him.
"Let me go, I'll help you get rid of him."
When Xiaobawang rushed to the basket, Dayao was stuck behind Li Ba again, he said anxiously.
"Bang!" Xiaobawang smashed the basket smoothly.
"Aww!!!"
When he was still hanging on the basket, his venting growl sounded.
"Dayao, do you think I'm stupid?"
Seeing the little bully complete the attack, Li Ba let go of Dayao behind him, and said angrily.
"Hey!" Dayao smirked twice.
At this time, Xiaobawang ran over with a cold face, and while returning to defense, he growled at Li Ba: "Rookie, I will definitely kick you out of this team, you trash!"
Dayao who was not far away heard it and glanced at Li Ba to see how he would respond.
"Sophomore rookie, when you are wailing under Malone and O'Neal, you are doomed. You will not be the boss of this team, because you can't lead the team to win the Lakers. You can't even toughen their will. No ability."
Li Ba said coldly.
Xiaobawang's expression changed, and he was speechless.
"So go do what you're supposed to do. If you're in position, you're going to have the ball. But this is the chance I'm giving you, cherish it, you won't have a lot of chances to waste the ball right now because I won't allow it. .”
Li Ba said one more sentence, and then ran to Dayao's side.
Looking at Li Ba's figure, Xiaobawang felt almost suffocated to death.
"Li Ba, aren't you being too domineering?" Dayao yelled in a low voice as he began to ask for a position on the left wing.
"I heard that Jordan usually solves problems directly with his fists in the locker room. I am more refined than him." Li Ba said.
"..." Dayao was speechless.
"Yao, go to the basket and attack!" Van Gundy Jr. yelled from the sidelines at this time.
He hoped that Dayao would increase his weight to 140 kilograms to increase his dominance in the low post, but unfortunately Dayao and his agent only agreed to increase his weight to 130 kilograms.
Looking at it this way now, 130 kilograms may not even be able to carry the rookie in China.
But just as Van Gundy Jr. finished speaking, the old cat got the ball and made a direct three-pointer.
"boom!"
The ball hit the basket and bounced off the backboard.
Li Ba still used the old method. When the ball was still flying, he pushed back Dayao first, and then entered the basket.
Now he has not mastered Rodman's ability to predict. If Rodman, he can directly predict whether the ball will go in or not. If it doesn't go in, which direction will its rebound point be? .
So now Li Ba can only enter the basket first, and then move according to the locked rebound point.
In this way, there is an extra link in the middle of grabbing the basket.
It's okay if it hits the basket, it's under the basket.
And if it is a rebound, it is a step slower. This is also the reason why it is difficult for him to grab such a rebound.
"Snapped!"
On the heads of Cato and Xiaobawang, Li Ba took the lead in grabbing the ball with his wingspan.
"Oh, look at the rebounding ability of Hammer! He is the only one who can grab the four insiders, and the other three haven't grabbed the rebound yet."
Zhang Li said happily.
Cato didn't grab the ball this time, he learned his lesson, the rookie center of the Suns is not easy to grab the ball, but he didn't walk away, instead he kept waving his hands in front of Li Ba, trying to interfere with Li Ba and not let him Launch a fast break.
But unfortunately, although he is 211cm tall, his wingspan, especially his touch height, is far behind Li Ba, so Li Ba quickly threw the ball to Marbury.
Marbury and Marion cooperated very well, and the left and right wings went down side by side.
Behind them, the fastest Francis and Mobley quickly returned to the defense.
After reaching the frontcourt, the two horses immediately cut to the basket.
The ball was in Marbury's hands at this time, he cut to the three-point line from the right wing, and after two strides, he threw the ball high in the air in front of the backboard.
"Boom!"
Marion stepped on the floor against Mobley, leaped high, caught the ball with his right palm, and then slammed it into the basket.
"boom!"
Alley dunk.
6:0, the Suns lead the Mosaic away.
Shuangma and Xiaobawang each scored a goal, and Li Ba grabbed 3 rebounds and 1 assist, causing a foul inside the Mosaic team.
The Mosaic team served and then called for a timeout.
