Chapter 898 This Defense Is Almost Nothing!

Anthony leaned closer to Battier, using his tonnage and strength to move Battier's center of gravity and unable to chase him. Then he immediately turned around and rushed towards the paint area.

But as soon as he took one step forward, Li Ba came towards him, and a big hand grabbed the basketball that he was carrying towards the floor with his right hand.

With a soft sound, Li Ba swatted the ball away from Anthony's control with his left hand, then rushed past Anthony, stepped forward, and grabbed the ball with his right hand.

The Nuggets retreated immediately and returned to defense quickly from the outside, but the Suns did not play a fast break, but steadily advanced and started a positional battle.

"It is said that Frank's ability is average, but his choice of tactics is still good. The Nuggets are very fast on the outside. On the contrary, after the positional battle started, the Hammers had an advantage in singles against Camby. It was right not to play fast breaks."

Zhang Lili said.

Rondo advanced to the frontcourt, and the Nuggets switched defenses. Iverson went for Battier, Anthony went for Marion, and Nene rushed directly to the basket, double-teaming Li Ba with Camby.

"Tony Allen was left open! He rushed into the paint! Rondo passed the ball?" Barkley yelled.

Tony Allen rushed into the paint with the ball. Nene rushed to cover the defense. He jumped up first and sent a floater.

But Nene reacted quickly, jumped up like a spring, slapped the ball away, and even slapped it directly out of the sideline.

"yeah!"

Nene completed the block and roared excitedly.

"Three inside players are blocked at the basket, so you shouldn't rush in at this time. Pass to Battier, or do a pick-and-roll with Battier, it's no problem to beat Iverson." Zhang Li said.

The Suns attack again.

The Nuggets still switched defenses.

Rookie Rondo received the ball, and Tony Allen, who was left open again, asked for the ball, but he didn't give it to him. Instead, he called the latter's pick-and-roll.

Tony Allen did not hesitate and immediately ran to Rondo and set a pick-and-roll.

Rondo bypassed Blake and entered the paint with the ball.

At this time, Nene made a defense again, but Rondo was very calm. He turned around and leaned into Nene's arms, smashing the ball into his crotch. The ball passed through his crotch and passed into the basket.

Li Ba "saw" the ball coming in. He blocked Camby with his left hand, grabbed the bouncing basketball with his right hand, then jumped up instantly and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.

4:0, the Suns lead.

"The rookie passed the ball beautifully!" Barkley said with a smile.

Nuggets offense.

On the left wing, Anthony wants the ball, and he wants one in return.

But this time he didn't catch the ball. When Nene went all the way to the basket, the opposing Marion turned around and pounced on point guard Blake, double-teaming him.

"Lost the ball!" Yu Jia shouted.

Rondo grabbed the ball and was about to go down with Marion.

Iverson returned to defense quickly, but Blake, who made a mistake, was a step slower.

But the defense of the two could not stop the Suns' fast break. Rondo rushed to the basket, and after being caught up by Iverson, he calmly passed the ball back. Marion flew up from behind and completed an alley-oop dunk. .

6:0, the Suns lead.

"Steve?"

On the sidelines, coach George Karl called Blake and then made a gesture.

This gesture is to ask Blake to pass the ball in.

Blake advanced to the frontcourt and was close to the top of the arc. At this time, he saw Nene running toward the basket. Marion turned and rushed toward him. He immediately dodged left, dodged Rondo, and passed the ball to the basket. .

Nene moved towards the basket and turned to look at the top of the arc. When he saw the ball coming in, he immediately turned around to catch the ball.

But at this moment, a big hand appeared from behind him and intercepted the ball first.

Li Ba "saw" the ball coming in before Nene. Camby was too weak and couldn't control him, so he successfully completed the steal.

Switching between offense and defense, the Suns attack, or positional warfare.

The Suns still opened up the game, but the Nuggets still switched defenses from the outside and double-teamed Li Ba from the inside.

"To Sean!"

Li Ba pointed at Battier on the left three-point line under the basket and shouted loudly in front of the Nuggets.

Tony Allen, who was let go by Iverson, immediately pounced on Iverson and set up a pick-and-roll for Battier.

Battier took a step toward the top of the arc, caught the ball, jumped behind Tony Allen, and shot a three-pointer.

There was a swipe, water splashed up, and a three-pointer was hit.

9:0, the Suns lead.

"The Nuggets' defense is almost useless! It's time to call a timeout, but they haven't scored yet." Zhang Lili shouted.

"Using Iverson to guard Battier, the difference is 18 centimeters, plus the wingspan, it is more than a foot. How to guard? Even if there is no pick and roll, he can't guard him." Yu Jia laughed.

"How can the Nuggets defend against the Suns' offense? There are holes all over the perimeter, and solving them is half the effort. The first thing to solve now is the offensive problem, which is what the Nuggets are good at." Zhang Lili shouted.

In front of the Nuggets bench, George Karl said seriously: "We have to continue to double-team the Hammers under the basket, but when the outside is running, don't stand still to catch the ball, the ball must be moved.

Did you watch how the Mavericks beat the Suns? Although the Mavericks also lost, they played more with less on the outside, through the movement of people and the transfer of the ball.

Next, Anthony, you continue to feint on the left wing, attracting the attention of the Suns' defense, and then separate the ball for Iverson to attack on the right wing. Blake should pay attention to the reception at the top of the key. "

The timeout ends and the game begins.

The Nuggets advanced to the frontcourt, Anthony asked for the ball on the left wing, and Iverson moved continuously on the right wing.

Blake passed to Anthony, and Marion immediately pounced on Anthony and implemented a double-team.

But according to the tactical arrangement just now, Anthony should have passed the ball at this time, either across the ball to Iverson on the right, or back to the top of the arc, but he didn't. He directly carried Battier, turned around and made a fadeaway jumper.

Then, he was blinded by Battier's blinding technique. With his two-point shooting percentage of just over 30%, it was no surprise that he missed the shot.

Li Ba was carrying Camby behind his back. He predicted that the ball was short and would bounce back. He immediately turned around and stuck Nene behind him. At this time, the ball hit the basket and bounced, and he caught it. .

The Suns' offense still focuses on Battier.

It was still a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, but this time it missed.

Nene grabbed the rebound, and Iverson ran in and took the ball. Blake asked for it, but he didn't give it to him, and he started to advance with the ball.

"Is Allen going to take over the ball? Is this the first time he has touched the ball tonight?" Barkley shouted with a smile.

Iverson pushed forward with all his strength, Rondo retreated at the top of the arc and passed the center line. The former approached the latter, dribbling and shaking continuously under his hips, and suddenly jumped Rondo from the left and reached the top of the arc.

Tony Allen then returned to the basket from the right wing and blocked Iverson.

Iverson suddenly changed direction downwards, and Tony Allen's feet also moved downwards. The former suddenly moved up a step, and the latter failed to follow and sat on the floor.

After knocking his opponent down, Iverson immediately went for a layup. At this time, Marion rushed over, flew up from behind, and slapped the basketball away.
