For the Suns, the best performance in the first quarter should be Grant Hill, who shot 3-of-4 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line in the first quarter, scoring a team-high 9 points and 2 rebounds, making him the Suns' most efficient player.

The great god was once one of the most promising Jordan successors, with an elegant style of play and a low-key style, and Grant Hill at his peak was simply David Stern's dream league signature.

Michael Jordan is still a lustful, gambling hooligan after all, but Hill is a respectable and humble gentleman from start to finish, and he is an impeccable figure both on and off the court.

But the competitive arena is so cruel, and almost all of Jordan's successors in those years had the same bad luck - injuries.

Penny, Hill, and Maddie all once shined as stars, but they also slipped sharply in the history of the NBA, leaving only a sigh from the fans.

Of course, they also have a common identity - magic players.

Orlando is a land of magic, and the Magic have a great tradition:

1. Cultivate super centers;

Second, the top swingman curses.

That is, Maddie walked too fast, and went to the rocket without waiting for the curse to strike, but the final result is also clear at a glance.

Hill, who has been plagued by injuries for many years with the Magic, has not played more than 70 games in a season.

But as soon as he arrived in the Suns' first season, the 07-08 season, Hill seemed to be back in the spring, and after many years, he once again got 70+ minutes in the season.

And the following 08-09 season, Grant Hill had an unprecedented 82-game full attendance in a season, something he had never done in his rookie season.

It is true that Hill, who is almost 38 years old, will definitely not be able to average 20+ per game like he did when he was younger, but his reversible playing time still surprises countless fans who love him.

As a result, the Suns' medical team and their chief team physician, Thomas Carter, are once again the focus of heated discussion.

Although Hill's own self-discipline is also an important reason why he has been able to play well at an advanced age, the efforts of the Suns Medical Team must not be erased.

In fact, the same is true of Channing Frye, who ushered in the spring of his career this season, who was originally diagnosed with heart muscle expansion problems in the Trail Blazers, but immediately ushered in an explosion after being rescued by the Suns doctor.

Suns center Stadamyre is similar, and after suffering a career-ending knee injury, he is still able to return to the court, albeit not as good as before, but still ranked among the best in the league.

Well, once it's a coincidence, twice it's a coincidence, but what about three, four times?

Of course, the miracle of the Suns' team doctor may take a little longer to prove, but don't forget that there are still horizontal comparisons in this world.

No contrast, no harm!

The Suns are not without a wave of injuries, but it won't be long before people really find out that the reason why the miracle doctor is a miracle doctor must be because of a group of quacks on the side.

The same group of guys in the West, Portland, will use their actual actions to tell people what belongs to the existence of heheda.

In the second quarter of the game, on the Suns side, Samba Lightning Barbosa performed brilliantly in the bench time, neither Bibby nor Dragic could effectively contain his breakthrough.

The Suns are also at the forefront of the league in the adjustment of interior shooters, Frye and Dudley can both pull the inside line, and Robin Lopez does not have the presence of his brother, but he still does a pretty good job of blocking people.

At the same time, in the team's training, the Hawks' interior line, which is often hit by Erniu's long-range shots, is also accustomed to going to the outside to make up for big pitchers, which also gives Barbossa enough space to attack.

TIME-OUT！

A wave of 10:2, the Atlanta Hawks who were playing at home were stopped!

Stephen A. Smith said: "It looks like the defending champions are in trouble and the Suns are holding them back a bit on the lineup. ”

Jeff Van Gundy disagrees: "No, I don't think so, the Hawks' problem is on them.

Joe Johnson is targeted by the Suns every time, but they have enough good players to step up and finish the game, and I still think the Hawks have a better chance of winning this game. ”

Mike Brin said: "So how are the Hawks going to fight back?"

"Defend!" Van Gundy and Smith made the same judgment.

In fact, that's how Woodson was on the bench.

"Defense! Only by defending can we play an offensive that is difficult for the opponent to guard against, and stop thinking about using offense to break the opponent, it is not wise to fight with the Suns. ”

Woodson is right, overkill, the championship is not won by defense, but without defense, there is certainly no championship.

If the Hawks have a good hand tonight, they do have the capital and self-confidence to play against the opponent, but in the case of poor hand, it is also extremely necessary to make appropriate compromises and increase efforts on the defensive end.

Woodson re-switched to the main force, and on the offensive end of the Hawks, Salmons missed a long-range shot, and Frye won the rebound.

Nash quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, made an emergency stop outside the three-point line, received the worship Buddha action, shook off the claw machine, and went directly to the basket, facing the defense of Erniu is a throw.

"Smack!"

The lunar eclipse that came from the flank slapped a big hat and flew the ball fan out.

Embarrassment got the rebound and immediately rushed to the front court with the ball.

The Suns' defense was really average, and the embarrassed 15-foot dry pull-out shot hit!

Nash held the ball across the half court and sent the ball to Xi Di, who was attacking in the middle, and Ruan Erniu followed closely.

"Whoosh!", "Whoosh!"

The two almost jumped up one after another, Xidi wanted to dunk with one arm, but Ruan Erniu didn't let a step, and the basket was in front of him......

"Smack!"

Ruan Erniu came first and completed a shocking hat from the side!

And that's not all!

The claw machine took the rebound in the backcourt and immediately passed the ball to the whole court.

It's two cows!

He was at the front alone.

Frye can't keep up, only Grant Hill still has a chance to chase down!

Hasten!

Ruan Erniu hit with the ball, and Hill was also thrown off.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

Self-throwing and self-deduction!

Ruan Erniu, who had just completed the shocking hat, flew into the air, no one could stop him, Erniu was about to perform!

Ruan Erniu received a basketball in the air and a big windmill!

"Boom!"

The basketball was smashed into the hoop and the Hawks fought back.

Today's top five are born!

The familiar transition between attack and defence, the defending champions are the best way to win.

The Suns are still strong on the offensive end, but the Hawks have caught up and they are playing better.

At the top level, there is always a trade-off, and when one side plays well, the other side's performance is suppressed.

If you really want to achieve a strong confrontation that is evenly matched, it is possible for both sides to reach a similar level at both offensive and defensive ends.

The Phoenix Suns have finally shown their shortcomings, and their defense has been failing to pass.

At 30:37, the Hawks played a wonderful blitzkrieg in the second quarter.

The twin stars of Embarrassment and Ruan Er Niu broke out and instantly turned the situation on the court, 55:60, the defending champions, who were still behind in the first quarter, overtook the score in the second half of the second quarter and ended the first half of the game with a five-point advantage.

Woodson didn't say much before the game, but it was clear that he still had a lot of ideas about the game.

For the Hawks, who aspire to build a dynasty, the Eastern powers that have been repeatedly overturned are no longer their only focus, and the Western giants in the fierce competition have gradually become the focus of the Hawks coaching staff.
