In the second half, the Warriors attacked first.

Zhou Xuan and Biedlings blocked and dismantled, Thomas changed the defense, Nash immediately bypassed the defense from behind to chase the defense, Zhou Xuan can give the middle, but the empty cut Biedrins will definitely choose to attack strongly rather than attract the defense to Randolph, he lacks the ability to run the ball. Stadameyer is still under the basket and can block it, whether it is strength or explosiveness, Bidrins does not have an advantage.

If the offense is focused on Biedrins, the Suns will be happy. Thinking about this, Zhou Xuan didn't pass to Bidrins, and he couldn't make the opponent comfortable. He passed to Margeti first and then ran away.

Margeti singled Hill, changed direction and dribbled without getting a good shot, and when the time was still there, he passed to Randolph. The fat man singled Thomas on the perimeter, forced a missed shot under interference, and the rebound was picked up by Stadameyer.

The Suns immediately counterattacked, and the Warriors were not slow to retreat, Randolph followed Thomas, and Nash took the frontcourt to pass to Hill, which was blocked by Ellis. Ellis' ability is not only offensive, his lateral movement is very fast, he is good at defending breakaways, but he can't do it against strong players. And he has a skill on the defensive end, which is steals, and he will use pressing defense to cause opponents to make mistakes.

The veteran Hill's offense is more of a frame, and he can do everything at his peak, but he is not as fast as he was back then, and it is very difficult to think about Ellis. Of course, he can rely on his height advantage to make a direct jump shot, but it is too far from the basket. So he passed to Richardson, who had some back-to-back ability in the low post and a strong physique to push his opponents apart, and now his opponent is Margeti, who is just as strong.

Richardson turned and missed a shot, and the rebound was picked up by Randolph, who was back inside.

Zhou Xuan shouted when he received the baseline ball: "Double block dismantling, pull it out." ”

Both insiders understood what he meant, the Warriors' double blocking and dismantling was not two people creating opportunities for the ball carrier, but one left and one right to cover the flanks without the ball, causing an opportunity for the air to cut out of place, and Zhou Xuan still organized the attack in the middle. This style of play is similar to the variant of the Eagles' offense, and the aim is to play with speed in the positional offense.

As soon as the players pulled away, Zhou Xuan faced Nash at the top of the arc, and when Randolph and Biedrins pulled to the sides, he dribbled under his crotch and suddenly broke through to the left, Nash followed very closely, but Zhou Xuan didn't plan to pass, just needed a pass space, and sent the ball inside.

Randolph blocked Richardson and Ellis cut inside. The Suns defended the joint defense, Thomas didn't defend very far away, and Ellis received the ball and hit a pull-up jumper. 65 to 66.

The Suns offense, the Warriors are a 32-zone joint defense, mainly defending a few shooters on the outside, and giving Biedlings a person on the inside. Nash and Stadamyre played a blocking and dismantling cooperation, Zhou Xuan chased after the defender after the defender, and Biderins was not strict in blocking that, and went to defend Stadamyer again. Nash made a pull-up jump shot, Zhou Xuan didn't cover it, but Nash missed the ball, and Margeti grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Warriors were not in a hurry to counterattack, Zhou Xuan slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, two inside lines pulled out to block and dismantle, Ellis and Magetti continued to "double ghost shot", this time Zhou Xuan passed to Margety, Stoudamire changed the defense Margeti and followed to the basket, Margeti passed to Ellis who cut in the air, the latter passed through the gap and made a layup. 67 to 66.

The Warriors frequently hit the Suns' basket with air cuts.

Suns head coach Gentry was a little depressed on the sidelines, he originally thought that with Thomas's ability to evacuate, the Suns could defeat the Warriors, but he didn't expect that the Warriors took the initiative by relying on air cuts. The breakthrough ability of the two veterans, Richardson and Hill, has deteriorated, and they can't play like the Warriors, so they can only share the ball after Nash's breakthrough.

Now the Suns aren't protecting the basket enough. If Camby is on the court, although the speed is slow, he has the height to block and stand under the basket can play some deterrent effect, and Stadameyer can rarely block under the basket, averaging only one block per game in 36 minutes this season. Thomas didn't know what the block was, the defense was sparse, and the Warriors hit the basket directly. The Suns' big man must also have a follower to defend Randolph, otherwise his jump shot will be very powerful. Also weakened was the Suns' rebounding, Thomas's ability to grab rebounds was so poor that it was unrealistic to expect him to defend the inside, and Bidrins grabbed three frontcourt rebounds.

The Warriors don't have trouble defending, Margeti is in the low post, Randolph can just follow Thomas, he can only shoot on the perimeter, and his offensive ability with the ball is average. The Warriors went on a 12-4 run to take a five-point lead.

Gentry asked for another timeout. However, he also doesn't know how to defend against the Warriors' offense, and the Suns lack an interior defensive core. Stoudmayre's physicality promises to be a good defender, but his awareness is so bad that he is more often described as a black hole on the pitch.

Van Gundy saw the Suns' predicament and said: "Now the Suns have problems defending, and the offensive end is too dependent on Nash's organization, and Nash's play is also limited today, he is very difficult to beat Zhou Xuan one-on-one, relying on cover, Zhou Xuan can also bypass the cover to chase the defense, Nash is difficult to pass the ball to his teammates to score easily, he can shoot by himself, but he scores high scores, which is not the way the Suns are used to playing." ”

Johnson said: "Zhou Xuan didn't score in the second half and gave two assists, but he can still help the team. ”

The Suns didn't bring on Camby, but instead sent Barbossa to replace Hill and strengthen the offense. It was a reluctant move, and the Warriors had already shown in the first half that they had a way to target Camby.

Immediately after the timeout, the Suns went back 6-0, and neither Randolph nor Biedlings were good enough to defend the pick-and-roll. Randolph went outside to talk to Thomas, the Suns shifted the ball, and the "Brazilian Lightning" immediately broke through with the ball.

Zhang said: "The Sun also began to use the air cut after the blocking, and returned the favor in his way, and it was too difficult for Randolph to keep up with Barbossa. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "The two sides have dedicated an offensive battle, and this kind of game is very interesting. ”

The game was interesting, but Zhou Xuan was a little helpless. Back then, he also liked the Suns' run-and-gun style of play, and now that he has started to play in the NBA, he understands that the Suns couldn't win the championship when they were so beautiful in attack.

Nash can't stop Parker, and Stadamire can't stop Duncan. Parker and Duncan, on the defensive end, were able to contribute more to the team, and because of these defensive details, the Spurs didn't look like they had the best lineup but won the game.

The coaches of both teams did not dare to replace Zhou Xuan and Nash, for fear that the two of them would not be able to organize the offense and be pulled away by the other party. At the end of the third quarter, Zhou Xuan did not score in a single quarter, with 15 points and 12 assists. Nash also had 13 points and 10 assists.

During the break, Nelson Sr. decided to replace Ellis with Azubuk to strengthen the perimeter defense.

He said that he didn't like to use a tactical board, and said loudly: "The Suns are nothing remarkable, not so long ago, they were a team outside the playoffs, the defense was full of holes, and the offense relied on a few stars, so can't it be prevented?" Their first three stanzas are also dominated by empty cuts. In the fourth quarter, don't defend the inside line, and the regional joint defense compresses the defense, and don't let them easily enter the restricted area. On the outside week, pay attention to Nash's three-pointers, and Coronna follows Richardson. Others get a chance to shoot from the perimeter, but they can't go into the three-second zone. ”

The Suns didn't feel very good on three-point shooting today, and their shots were reduced in the second half, and the Warriors' 32-game defense played a role. The old Nelson deliberately arranged it this way, and in the crucial fourth quarter, he suddenly compressed the defense and did not shoot the defense, can the Suns players still find the crosshair?

In the fourth quarter, the Suns re-fielded veteran Camby. The Warriors also stepped up defensively, replacing Biedrins with Turiaf. It was this substitution that became the turning point. Turyaf is physically strong, not slow to move, and is the best at helping to defend blocks, averaging 16 per game. There is 1 in 4 minutes of playing time. 8 blocks, outperformed Biedrins. If it weren't for Turiaf's slight weakness in rebounding, many people felt that he should be the starting center for the Warriors.

Turyaf played as soon as he came on the court, sitting on the inside to block the strong inside attacks of Stoudeyere and Richardson in succession. And the Suns opened with air cuts and blocking, suffered a loss, and the rhythm was disrupted.

Nash can control the overall offensive tempo, but how to adjust everyone's offensive rhythm and shooting rhythm is not something he can control. Richardson missed two three-pointers, Barbosa missed a three-pointer, Barnes missed an open three-pointer, and several offensive misses, and the Warriors went on an 11-2 run to widen the margin to 12 points. This is also the biggest point difference between the two teams in today's match.

Gentry was again forced to call a timeout, and the Warriors are close to a nine-game winning streak.

Zhang reasoned and said: "Now that Camby is really old, Turiaf can squeeze him away and score under the basket, and the speed of blocking and dismantling is too slow. The Warriors' interior line is more appropriate, Randolph attacks, Turyaf defends, and the division of labor is very clear. ”

Yu Jia continued: "There is also the Suns' low-post offense, they rely too much on outside shooting and air cutting, and there is basically no low-post back-to-back offense, which is very similar to the Warriors at the beginning of the new season." It turned out that Marion practiced back play, and now he is gone, Stoudamire is more of a frontal attack on the basket, and today he only blew up with Randolph, who didn't shoot much today, but shot 7 of 10 and caused four fouls. He's a lot more powerful than Smalls in the basket. ”

Zhang said: "Stoudamire has a beautiful style of play, and he has been selected for the best team in the league before, but he is really not as solid as Randolph in terms of skills. This year, I think Randolph should also be named to the All-Season Team, but I don't know how many times it will be. After hitting the most, it is often the time to test the individual ability of the star, and I don't know how the Sun will adjust. ”

Gentry was well aware of the importance of defense, and after the timeout, in order to strengthen the defense, especially the pick-and-roll, he replaced Camby and put Luis ? Amondson was replaced.
