Chapter 146: Counterattack (Ask for Subscription!) )
"The current situation, it's no longer the Suns' turn to hide secrets, they played too casually during that time, a little relaxed, but I still believe that Steve can stabilize the situation, don't ask me why! Look at Sam, I guess he got his head clipped, and he actually replaced Jamal, who came up? Characters I've never heard of. Barkley said he couldn't understand it, everyone said they couldn't understand it, and D'Antoni raised his eyebrows even more, probably with joy in his heart.
"I think Sam meant it obviously, to play a small lineup with the Suns." Kenny smashed his mouth, "I admire his courage, he didn't need to put the strongest lineup, and he actually came to play tricks, I think he will die an ugly death." ”
"I think you should support the Raptors or make a bet with me because it's fun, and the audience is more willing to watch that. Because I think there's no suspense in the game. ”
"I won't lose a dime to you." Kenny looks like you think I'm stupid.
"Sacrifice! It's all about the ratings. ”
"Then we can change it, you support the Raptors, I support the Suns, bet on it, what about 50,000 dollars?"
"I came out of Phoenix, how could I possibly support the Raptors? The audience is going to beat me to death. ”
"I'm positive, it's more interesting."
……
Not only are the above people stunned, but the Suns players are all in a daze, who is this guy? It seems to be a little familiar. The Raptors team members can't believe it, this guy hasn't played here yet, and now at such a critical moment, he actually asked Sam to name him, which is really a dog. Even the person concerned wondered, thinking that he was hallucinating, and Sam called him again and again to confirm that it was true. That mood! That blindfold! That's refreshing! He experienced what it was like to have pie in the sky.
Who surprised everyone? That's right! Matt Barnes is a bum. People think Sam is stupid and has a brain in the water! Are you sure? The fact is that Sam has his own considerations, first of all, in the team training match, Barnes showed good strength, especially on the defensive end, fierce! On the offensive end, he has excellent awareness and ability to cut air, and has a certain three-point basket. The second is not to occupy the ball, a typical 3D player, easier to use than Jalen, more reliable than Smith, because there are already Kyle and Bosh in the team, and the other players who occupy the ball are reactionaries and are not welcomed. The third is that he can play the power forward position, just enough to get rid of Marion, and he believes that Barnes' fierce defensive attitude can cause problems for the Suns' top scorer. Finally, Barnes has the best relationship with Kyle, it can be said that he is a follower of Kyle, Sam wants to establish Kyle as the core, first of all, he has to help him set up a team, and now Barnes's presence is equal to nothing, and it will be hellish to help Kyle. With all of the above in mind, Sam decided to use Barnes to test the effect, especially against Marion.
Sam's offensive strategy was simple, with Kyle holding the ball or shooting it, Smith pulling space in the corner, Barnes cutting in the air, Bosh blocking at the top of the arc, and Peterson ambushing him outside the weak-side three-point line that he is most familiar with. In the second set of singles tactics, Bosh is in the low post or face frame at a 45-degree angle, and everything else is the same, except that Kyle stands at the top of the arc. The third set is Smith's response, intermittently breaking through, not counting tactics. Anyway, Sam's purpose is obvious, pull the empty basket.
The game started again, Kyle held the ball at the top of the arc and looked at the empty basket, and the boy was happy! Kicking around Bosh, Barnes blocked again on one side, Kyle hit the basket directly, and the space under the basket was wide, only the delayed Bell stuck to Kyle, in a one-on-one situation, Kyle would be afraid of him, and directly hit the free throw line to kick the ball, when Kyle flew into the air, Bell didn't even dare to jump, and only stupid people did things that humiliated him.
Nash controlled the ball and galloped, Kyle defended and was unhappy about Nash's miss. "With all due respect, you're the best MVP ever, not one."
Nash Dang didn't hear it.
"I'm disappointed that you're a man of his word."
Nash ran half a lap of the court, then handed the ball to Marion and ran away.
"Are you a thief who stole Tim's best player trophy, are you ashamed?"
No one paid attention to the broken thoughts here, and almost did it directly over there. Marion tentatively stepped and suddenly distributed it to Barbosa, he himself crossed to the basket, got rid of Barnes, and when the ball arrived, Barbosa hung high very accurately. Marion picked up the ball and rushed up to dunk, but Barnes directly made an iron sand palm, pushing the neckless man to a stumbling side, almost falling off the floor of the baseline and becoming a headless man.
Marion was on fire at that time, such a dangerous action was killing him! He rushed up to find Barnes theory, who knew that Barnes was even more awesome, staring at his neck wide-eyed, looking like a cannibal, and directly opened his mouth to provoke, "You touch me and try it, I'll kill you." "It was as if he was the real victim. People will have momentum, and the momentum of the wicked will be more obvious, and it will send a signal to you, that is, as long as you gently pinch him, he will really kill you. At this time, Barnes has this kind of momentum, which is completely unreasonable.
Marion, as the offensive core of the team, is the scoring arrow, without him, the Suns may really lose, and Barnes is just a small role and insignificant. So Marion shook his head and cursed twice, he just didn't dare to do it, it wasn't worth it! Isn't it? Of course! You can also think that Marion cowards.
The referee came over and gave Barnes a first-degree foul, and the matter settled down. In fact, Sam let Barnes go on for this reason, if Marion is brought down, it will be better.
A first-degree malicious foul, the Suns made two free throws and one throw, and Barnes had to suffer, which is the range he can accept. Of course, if you take the initiative to kill someone or maim the other party, then he will be finished, and he will not be mixed up in the NBA, he will not be able to mix. Now different from the 80s, 90s, can be like Ranbier to be a real villain, into the new century, Stand began to rectify, the punishment for fighting and brawling deliberately disabled and violating the code of sports ethics is more and more severe, especially after the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident", even more so, the crackdown is so severe that those wicked people are relieved, look at the current Artest, poor and depressed, the salary is gone, and he will be pointed out by thousands of people. This is still an All-Star player, and if you do this with a small role like Barnes, it will really be crippled, and expulsion from the league may also happen.
Marion didn't know whether he was glad that he didn't bend his waist and his heart was beating too fast, or if he was scared by Barnes, and missed the first free throw, but finally the second free throw. The Suns still have the ball.
This time, Nash slipped to the bottom and looked back at the moon-style shooting. The Raptors' defense is in place, Kyle, Barnes, and Peterson are three guys with good defense, plus two uncles with good defensive attitudes and relatively positive actions, and there is nothing obvious out of position and leakage. But Nash entered, so there's nothing to say, strength!
The Raptors' offense is still the same routine, with Kyle rushing to the basket with the help of blocking. This time, the Suns' Barbosa contracted to help defend, Kyle chose to share the ball to Peterson, and the nearby Dio came to pounce, and Peterson scored again. Bosh is completely empty, so what are you waiting for? Cast it directly, enter!
Then the two sides began a tug-of-war, and the Suns' offense was still efficient, but they also couldn't stop the Raptors' big and four, and the three-point rain crackled down.
With the Raptors trailing the Suns by two points at 103-105 two minutes before the break, the time for the bayonets to be red came to the table. The Raptors are still the five three-point combinations, and the Suns are also a super five short lineup.
Before the game, who would have thought that the Raptors at the bottom of the belly could fight with the super powerhouse Suns until the last moment, without a trace of defense, and now the momentum and intensity of the two sides, who loses and who wins, is really not necessarily. Before the game, who would think that Kyle has the ability to fight Nash without falling behind, everyone looks down on Kyle, basically unanimous, if you want to say that Kyle can slash 30+, then he will definitely be slapped by someone, and you will be stunned if you don't die, what? Kyle says he could, well! And he did. Replaced by Barnes, people shouted that they couldn't understand and scolded Sam for being stupid, but now looking at it, who is more stupid than whom? Barnes still contributed a dunk and was successful in defending Marion. Everything in today's game is weird, the script has seriously deviated from the core, the protagonist seems to be about to become a villain, the poor and frustrated are going to become rich and handsome, and the storyline of the counterattack has been paved, can it really be? Everyone is asking themselves in their hearts.
The audience is no exception, they are no longer calm, they are no longer talking and laughing, they are starting to get nervous, they are starting to worry. It seems that nothing can be achieved before the game, so it's a shame to lose a lot of money.
The coaches of both sides asked for details, as for the tactics, there is still a Mao tactic, and all the family resources have been taken out to fight. The current situation, in addition to the superstar performances, is the test of the players' on-court performance, resilience, mentality, momentum, and physical fitness. Of course! The most important thing is how to be less lucky, but it seems that the referee is also a surprise factor, such as now.
Kyle has a foul on offense, I'm Nima! Kyle made a change of direction, and Bell didn't stand still, the latter fell to the ground in response, and it was clearly a fake fall! Kyle expressed disbelief, the theory was fruitless, he was nameless, such an obvious blocking foul, blind! But there is nothing to be done! Competitions, as they are often the case, are fraught with all sorts of unpredictable factors. He can only comfort himself silently in his heart, the home whistle! Go back to Toronto, you don't have to get angry, calm down!
Nash blew across the half court like a gust of wind, spun around twice, had no chance, and gave the ball to Bale, who in turn flicked it to Barbossa. Barbosa started to bypass Dio and burst into the basket, Marion cut in from the weak side to catch the ball, and it was a chest * push shot, Barnes jumped like a big horse monkey, and fished the ball directly, and made a meritorious service!
Kyle took the ball and squeezed past Nash first, changed direction and then passed Bale, and finally jumped with Barbosa head-on, threw a small throw, the ball tossed three times, and fell into the net in the sigh of the audience, 105:105, flat!
The ball went in, but Kyle was very dissatisfied, his jersey was ripped off by Bale when he broke through, and he was beaten by Barbossa fiercely when he made a layup, so he didn't blow it, Kyle walked to the baseline referee and showed his dark arms, "It's red, do you see it?" ”
But the referee looked around blankly, "Huh? I'm sorry! All I saw was pitch black. ”
Kyle is embarrassed! I can only walk away stupidly, there is no time to reason, Nash is almost halfway through there.
This time the Suns offense was much more patient, Nash was three in and three out, like no one, but it was useless, no chance! The Raptors have come out with a concentration of one hundred and one. Then the Suns started a game of guiding the ball, passing it back and forth, and then it went together. In the last three seconds, Bell took a sudden step, stepped back and leaned back to make his hand, which was picturesque! It's a pity that he is not Kobe, and Peterson is not a scumbag, three do not stick, and the ball is rushed in from the weak side by Kyle to get it.
It's simple, Kyle is driving at full speed, and the players on both sides are also running wildly. Kyle didn't stop at the top of the arc, and directly changed direction to push forward against Bale, and under the basket, Dio and Marion bent down one after another, ready to give Kyle a hard blow. It's a pity that they did useless work, Kyle threw Bosh in the middle distance, Barbossa came to pounce, Bosh divided Peterson again, Nash also came to the fox fake tiger, Peterson was very selfless and honest, did not bully the new MVP who was a head shorter than him, and again transferred to Barnes in the bottom corner, another completely empty position.
Barnes Steady Ball Aim, Fire! All eyes are on the ball drifting in the air, huddled under the basket, and it turns out that they are all big fools, including Kyle. The ball went headlong into the basket, Barnes seized the opportunity, and he made a meritorious service! At 108:105, the Raptors led by three points.
With forty-three seconds left, D'Antoni called a timeout, and the tension was thick and everyone was waiting for it.
"Hold on! Running out of the open space as usual, I don't think I need to dwell on anything, you know your position very well. ……! D'Antoni said so, but he still said a lot of it, and at the end he added, "I think you all know that we can't afford to lose this game." ”
The words are already obvious, because of Kyle's remarks, this game is hot, and now Kyle has scored more than 30 points, which can be regarded as a successful slap in the face, if the game is also lost, what do others think of Nash? Those who fought before the game are still shameless? And just like that, with a heavy heart, they stepped on the pitch again, and this goal had to go in!
Nash ignored the sweat stains on his forehead and began to split his shoulders, calmly cruising back and forth, observing his teammates' movements. But there is really no chance, there is often a bit of a gap, the ball is passed, the Raptors speed is in place, and the misplaced singles actually have a chance, such as Bell playing Kyle, but he can't afford to bet, let alone bet, Kyle defense is not a vegetarian, and they saw it tonight. In the end, it was Nash who made a difficult step-back jumper outside the three-point line, accompanied by the audience's lamentations, and came out of the frame!
However, Marion got the rebound and organized again, Nash passed quickly with the help of the block, Peterson blocked the basket in front, Kyle twisted next to him, Nash could only return the ball, Dio tentatively stepped, and then stepped back directly, just threw it directly! Isn't he afraid of being beaten by Nash? Everyone didn't expect that such a critical moment would be too abrupt.
It's a pity not! Bosh grabbed the crucial rebound and flicked it to Kyle, who was nearing the halfway point, who rode the dust and performed a fancy dunk.
With eleven seconds left in the game, the Raptors led by five points and basically sentenced the Suns to death.
And so it was, and Nash had two points but six seconds left on the clock. Foul! Give Kyle a point increase, two free throws and two hits! In the end, the game ended with the Suns missing a three-point shot.
The Toronto Raptors came back from home to win 112-107 against the mighty Phoenix Suns. Kyle perfectly counterattacked and slapped all the uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters in the United States.
