Chapter 1132
"As for your last question, all I can say is don't compare me to Stoudemire, it's unfair to anyone! We have the same position, the same height, but we are the kind of players with different types and characteristics, there is no comparison at all! Just like Kevin and Thiem, can you tell who is better between the two?"
After countless such occasions, Lamar has already reached the state of not being surprised. Vertex Update is the fastest for any tricky inquiry, he can also be calm, and the words are impenetrable, making it difficult for the other party to find loopholes.
Seeing that Lamar found no valuable news, the reporters turned their attention to Nash.
Nash has been on fire in the league this season, not only winning the Western Conference Player of the Month for three consecutive months, but also leading the Suns to a crazy winning streak in the last 12 games. Now the Suns are close to the record of the Minnesota Timberwolves, posing an absolute threat to the Timberwolves with F4 in the West.
"Steve, first of all, congratulations on winning the Western Conference Player of the Month for the third time in a row. Do you have the confidence to win four consecutive titles?"
Steve smiled and said, "First of all, thank you for your congratulations. Of course, I'd love to win this honor for a second time, but you should know that it's not an easy task. There are a lot of good players in the West, like my teammate Stoudemire, who is an unbelievable player. I don't think we should focus on these accolades, we should think about the team win first!"
"So excuse me, do you have confidence in today's game?"
"Of course, I have absolute confidence in every game. If I had been the first to deny my strength before the game had started and lost the confidence to win, I wouldn't have had to play this game!"
'We prepare every game and try to win, and today was the same. I'm very confident in our team, today is our home stadium and there are so many supportive fans that we don't have a reason for them to go back with joy. ”
Before the game even started, the smell of gunpowder on both sides was already very strong. The soul of the two teams did not give in to each other at the press conference, as if to show their sovereignty, and they announced their confidence in winning the game.
Just like the southern orange and the northern orange, leaving the depressing Dallas, Nash ushered in his nirvana rebirth in Phoenix.
Now Steve Nash has gradually developed some domineering self-sacrificing, which has never been seen in the Dallas era.
At that time, the core of the Dallas team was Michael separation, and then became the German tank Nowitzki, and Nash was just part of the old Nelson's tactical system, and he could never become the core.
But that changed completely with the Phoenix Suns, who were at the heart of the Suns under D'Antoni, the starting point and the endpoint of the offense.
"Let's welcome the Phoenix Suns hero, the handsome and flowing league assist king, the Phoenix perpetual motion machine, Steve Nash!"
With a shout from the DJ on the scene, Nash appeared. His pace was not very fast, and he kept his head down, as if he was pondering something.
The shouts of the surrounding fans seemed to have nothing to do with him, and it wasn't until he reached the center of the court that Nash raised his head, his eyes shining with determination, his head up, his arms raised in the air, and he enjoyed the cheers of the fans.
"That guy is getting stronger!" Lamar knew that without his own appearance, Nash would have completed Nirvana in Phoenix for several years, winning the league's MVP.
When he was with the Los Angeles Lakers, Lamar played against Nash, and although Nash played well in Dallas at that time, he always gave people a feeling of not having fun.
Billups looked at Nash and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, it goes back much further than the first time Loops first played Nash.
At that time, Billups was still a rookie who had just joined the NBA and was not recognized, and Steve Nash was just a backup behind Jason Kidd, the days of the two
Time flies, nine years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now Steve has become the league's hottest superstar. And Billups also became the engine of the defending champions.
Lamar heard Billups' muttering and smiled and said, "Yes! How many nine years can there be in life?" Chauncey, you have to be careful in this game, this guy is not the same as those guys before, if you are not careful, you will suffer on him!"
In the second half of the sentence, Lamar is talking to Billups.
Billups nodded solemnly when he heard this, obviously agreeing with Lamar's statement.
Billups knows his defensive prowess won't be of much use to a point guard like Nash, whose assist-first priority is to do so, but so what?
Everyone is an old rival, and Billups believes he can't stop Nash's assist, and Nash can't stop his own attack.
When the players from both sides came on the court, Nash took the initiative to walk in front of Lamar and said with a smile: "We have to decide the victory of this game!"
Lamar replied with a blank face: "It's a pity that I've already put the game in my pocket." It's not easy if you want to!"
"We'll see!"
"Always with you!"
Then Stoudemire Jr. and Mourning stepped up to the halfway line and prepared to scramble for the ball. The referee gestured to both players and threw the ball into the air.
The competition has officially begun!
"Huh!"
"Hah!"
Xiaobawang and Mourning jumped up at the same time, their two strong arms, stretching out as far as they could towards the sky, hoping to touch the basketball before the opponent.
In the end, Mo Ning won by experience, but not completely. Perhaps it was the matchup with Stoudemire, who was amazing in his bouncing, that made Mourning feel the pressure, and as a result, the basketball that was thrown out was a little off.
Seeing this, Lamar immediately took two steps sideways and pounced in the direction of the basketball.
At this moment, Nash also chased after him, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and when he pounced, his body touched the left arm of Lamar's hand.
A tingling pain made Lamar's brain jerk, and it slowed down a lot. As a result, the basketball that was supposed to go to his arms was grabbed by Nash first.
Suddenly the scene was jubilant, and Nash, accompanied by the cheers of the fans, became faster and faster.
After completely getting rid of Lamar's pursuit, Nash faced Billups' defense, flicked his wrist and threw the basketball to the rebound.
Marion arrived just in time, caught the ball in the air and dunked it into the basket with all his strength.
After the goal, the hacker was also very excited and waved his arms violently.
Although the team's record this season is excellent, he is still a little depressed. Because the biggest contributor to this outstanding record is not him.
Before Nash joined Phoenix, Marion always thought he was on track to be the team's number one star and be the object of fan cheers like Charles Barkley's predecessors.
It's a pity that the truth is completely different from what he imagined!
Jason Kidd is gone, but Marbury is here, Marbury is gone, and the team is pinning their hopes of rebuilding on rookie Amare Studemire, and seeing the hope of becoming the team's number one star dashed, Stoudemire was injured.
Marion, who was in the dark, finally saw hope, but as soon as the light of hope was ignited, Nash came.
As soon as Nash joined Phoenix, he was like a fire phoenix reborn in Nirvana, illuminating the entire Phoenix with the fire light on his body.
Even though Marion is still the captain of the team, even if Marion is still one of the core players of the team, Marion knows that the team's number one star will never be him!
Marion is very unwilling, this is not jealousy, as an NBA player, he still wants to prove himself and prove his value to the team.
Watching Nash celebrate unbridledly, Lamar was also helpless, standing in front of the three-point line with his waist crossed, waiting for his teammates to serve.
Billups dribbled the basketball across the midcourt and handed it to Lamar.
Lamar holds the ball, and at the moment he is facing Sean Marion, who is known as a hacker.
Since Phoenix started playing the starting bomb game, Marion, who had been playing at the small forward position, became the team's starting power forward.
Although Marion is ugly, his strength is not bad, he has both internal and external abilities, and he is also the defensive general that D'Antoni relies on the most.
While D'Antoni is a fan of small-ball tactics, he also knows that without a good defender, his run-and-gun tactics are bound to be flawed.
After a shake of his shoulder, Lamar suddenly jumped up and took a shot. Lamar's whole movement was quite smooth, but at the moment of his shot, he probably thought of the damn injury again, and began to hesitate slightly.
As a result, with a "bang!", the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced out.
The players on both sides, who were completely unprepared, suddenly huddled together, looked up at the basketball in mid-air, and were ready to jump up and take the rebound at any time.
"Huh!"
Just when everyone was still deadlocked, Mo Ning suddenly jumped up from the crowd. Although his jumping ability was not as good as before after the major injury, he jumped exceptionally high at the moment.
Facing off against the little overlord Stoudemire, the representative of the Fauvist faction in the current alliance, to prove to the whole team that his sword is not old, this is what Mo Ning is most urgent to do at this moment.
"Smack!"
Mourning grabbed the rebound in his hand before Stoudemire and Marion. The moment he landed, he jumped up again and wanted to dunk with both hands, but what was waiting for him was not the cheers of his teammates, but the giant palm of Xiaobawang.
"Bang!", Xiaobawang slapped an iron sand palm on the basketball.
