The NBA league schedule is intensive, and the Raptors fly to Phoenix half a day early to prepare to challenge the Suns.

"Kyle! You ready? Don't be weak. At a hotel dinner table in Phoenix, JR Herbert next to Kyle laughed and teased.

"Steve is a superstar, I'm still far from it, I can only say that, otherwise I'll be scolded." Kyle reads the newspaper on the Internet and watches the news, and there is a lot of criticism, all of which reprimand him for not being able to do anything, and for a moment, Kyle has the illusion that he feels that he is a heinous villain. It's outrageous, but it's true, and that's the overwhelming pressure.

"Actually, I think Steve is very thin, too." Matt Barnes is telling the truth again.

"Please control your voice, this is Phoenix, be careful of being beaten, I won't help." Smith looked serious, and said it as if it were true.

"Matt! Please don't bother me, okay? Kyle chimed in.

"I'm so scared!" Barnes looked scared, "The fagots in Phoenix are soft, I can break them up with one punch, but seriously, the girls are still very good, just as soft, and if they are looking for trouble, I think my chest will be out of the way for them." ”

"Dude! Your skeleton looks very thin, and I don't think you can give the girl a sense of security. Smith struck, "And I'm different, they feel different in their arms, tough!" Warm! ”

……

Kyle just watched the two of them brag and quickly fell into a fantasy. His own mind has drifted to tonight's game.

The Suns entered the league very early, have been a powerhouse for decades, have never won a championship, have gone the furthest to enter the Finals twice, and they traded from the 76ers in the 92-93 season to bring in the most famous player in team history, Charles Barkley, but this big mouth is also a bitter fate, as if he was cursed, and he also ended up a tragic end without a championship for life. Since the beginning of the new century, the Suns have implemented a small-ball strategy, but at that time, they foolishly traded the ball master Jason Kidd for Marbury, resulting in the team missing the playoffs again after 13 years.

It wasn't until the 03-04 season that Mike D'Antoni took the helm and began to push the team and thoroughly implement the small-ball strategy, and last season welcomed Nash back, and they ushered in another peak. Small ball tactics, also known as run-and-gun tactics, that is, fast play whirlwind, belong to the half-court open offensive system, players constantly create shooting opportunities through movement and conduction, any player can choose to shoot as appropriate at any time in any place, they are extremely dependent on the outside feel, and the No. 4 position is mostly a player who can shoot, or a speed-type big man who is good at fast attack. They abandon their positional offense and defense, attacking quickly and sharply, emphasizing an attack in under ten seconds, that is, making effective shots before the opponent is in position. So their game is pleasing to the eye and smooth.

One of the fatal drawbacks of the run-and-gun tactics is the lack of defense. Physical strength is the main reason for this: when you use 70% of your strength on offense, you can spend a lot less on defense. In fact, on the basketball court, defense always seems to be more tiring and physically demanding than offense. Yes, the "run-and-bomb" team is not afraid of the opponent to score because they are confident of getting more. But what if you encounter a bad hand wind? What to do when the rhythm is disrupted? Traditional teams can use tenacious defense to reduce the gap and adjust the tempo, but what about the "run-and-hit" team?

The Suns' strengths and weaknesses are obvious, but can the Raptors' defense withstand the opponent's fierce attacks? Kyle doesn't know, I guess it's enough. Whoever scores more points, the Raptors are absolutely out of reach. So where does the victory come from? That seemed like something Sam should be thinking about.

Meixi Stadium, an ordinary game, but thousands of attention. The decision to broadcast the game live was a temporary adjustment, and from this point of view, how sensational Kyle's remarks were. People are expecting Nash to blow Kyle out and let the rookie know what it means to be high and thick. And the live broadcast of this game was the Suns' famous "Big Mouth Sir Charles" and his old partner Kenny Smith.

"I have to say something before the game, right? Kenny. Barkley, the big-mouthed man, spoke first.

"Yes! Man, what are you supposed to say about your ex. ”

"Alright! Kyle is an ignorant kid, and if I say that, will the fans beat me up? ”

"I don't think for the time being, but I admire your courage, great Sir Charles!"

"Come on! That's because you're cowardly. ”

"Yes! I'm sorry to disappoint you, I don't have villain attributes. ”

"That was before, don't talk about that, okay?" Ross Barkley is notoriously foul-mouthed, a habit he developed as a player. "Do you think Kyle will cry?"

"As far as I know, he's got a tough style of play."

"Is it as hard as his mouth?"

"His mouth is a little worse than yours, you should be proud."

"Hell! If he had been born in my time and had said such a thing, he would have been scared to the point that his legs would have gone limp. ”

"You were really tough in your time, so tough that our great Sir Charles didn't even touch the corners of the championship."

"Bastard! That's it. "Barkley has not won a crown in his life, which is his self-black spot for a long time, but today facing the old master, he obviously does not have that mood." Looking at the starting lineups of both sides, the Toronto Raptors center is Jamal Magloyer, the power forward is Chris Bosh, the small forward Morris Peterson, the shooting guard Jalen Rose, and the point guard Kyle Lowry. My old club started with Pierce Dior at center, Kurt Thomas at power forward, Sean Marion at small forward, Raga Bailey at shooting guard, and Steve Nash at point guard. Let's talk about it! Buddy. ”

"From the perspective of the lineup, the gap is not big, the Raptors have former All-Star center Jamal, a potential new star Chris who averages close to 20+10 per game, Morris, a defensive expert and shooter, Jalen Rose, a five-strong Tigers with a comprehensive offense, and most importantly, they have Kyle Lowry, a super rookie who averages 25+10+8+ per game. If you look at the players I've listed, they're not at the bottom. "Naked mockery.

"I love this paragraph! So what is their record? Barkley threw himself back with a smile. Kenny's words resonated with audiences across the country, and Kyle was hated for saying that.

"I'm not done yet!" Kenny looks serious and disgruntled. "But it's enough for the Suns to have Steve, a superstar with an offensive system, and that's the advantage. As for the record, I'm sorry, the Suns have lost one game so far, and they only have a 5-1 record so far, which is terrible! Why not a total victory? Maybe Steve was lazy. The Raptors did a good job with 2 wins and 4 losses, and I predict they will win one more game than last season, after all, Kyle is close to MVP level. ”

"Alright! This is one of the best analyses of your narratory career, and I must commend you. Barkley still laughed. (To be continued.) )
