In the first quarter of the game, the Wizards scored 33 points in a single quarter, and the Suns scored 35 points.

In the second quarter of the game, the Wizards scored another 31 points in a single quarter, while the Suns scored 32 points.

The two teams went into the break with a score of 64:67.

The fans in the stadium were stunned by the indiscriminate bombardment of the attack.

Truth be told, it's not often that they see a game like this, with both teams attacking at an astonishing pace, averaging around 10 seconds per round.

Compared to the offense of the two teams, it is a bit like a funny movie in terms of defense.

The two teams are not completely defensive, but their defensive strength is very limited, they never cover the trap, and when defending, they always consider whether they are suitable for the immediate fast attack.

The two teams have a total of 10 people on the field, but the only ones who really defend with their hearts are the center forwards of the two teams.

The Wizards' three centers, Haywood, Jordan Jr. and McGee, are not players who can independently carry the ball and attack, in the Wizards' tactical system, the role of the center is to guard the basket, grab rebounds in the card position, pull down the outside line to block and help defense.

After the Suns let go of O'Neal, there is no fixed center this season, and occasionally Stoudemire and Channing at the power forward position will be used. Frye goes to the center position, but most of the time the center position is the blue-collar Robin. Lopez.

It's a pity that in the almost crazy run-and-bomb battle between the two teams, it is difficult for the center to settle to the inside to complete the job of grabbing rebounds, and they are running back and forth most of the time, and then pulling out to block and assist their own defenders to attack.

At halftime, Wang Xiao felt that it was not a way to go on like this.

Compared with the Suns, who rely on Nash to connect the whole team to drive the team's offensive rhythm, the Wizards, who rely on running without the ball and then making long-range shots, rely more on their touch.

In the first half, Curry and others had good hands, but even so, the team still trailed by 3 points.

Once Curry and others disappear in the second half, I am afraid that the team will soon fall into a dangerous situation.

'In the second half, we had to change the lineup.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xiao still made arrangements.

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, the players were stunned, no one felt that there was anything wrong with the first half of the game, whether it was Curry or Harden and others, they all felt very comfortable playing, there was almost no pressure on the offensive end, and they could play as much as they wanted.

"In the second half, Beverley, Harden, Green, Blatch and Jordan Jr. started the game." Wang Xiao looked at these five people and said solemnly: "I don't need you to score many points, but you must drag down the pace of the game and limit the Suns' running and bombing!" ”

"Beverley, maybe you're going to have the most pressure next, because you're going to face Nash, and I'm not going to ask you to lock Nash completely, but as long as Nash is still on the court, you must never let him play comfortably, even if it's a foul, stop him!"

When facing Nash, you must not be trapped, this is the consensus of all NBA teams.

With Nash's ability, he can easily find open teammates in the bag and pass them through, leaving Beverley alone to defend Nash.

Defending to beat the Suns has been the way many teams have thought in the past few years, but not many have actually done it.

Even if Wang Xiao sacrifices this defensive lineup, it may be difficult to stop the sun in a normal state.

But Wang Xiao feels that there should be a chance in this situation now.

Because the Suns have been on the court with their side for a full 24 minutes!

Habits are a terrible thing, and they always change without even realizing it.

has adapted to the Wizards' loose defense, and suddenly the defensive pressure surged, Wang Xiao didn't believe that anyone would not make any mistakes!

This is undoubtedly a risky attempt, and if it succeeds, it is good to say, but if it fails, it will be difficult to catch it back.

However, Wang Xiao felt that this risk was necessary to take a while, and he was more inclined to make changes than to expect the players' hands to continue to be hot.

……

After the start of the second half, the Suns were surprised to find that the Wizards actually replaced the main lineup and replaced a set of bench lineups.

Beverley, Harden, Green, Blatch and Jordan Jr.

With the exception of Harden and Green, the rest of the players only play about a dozen to twenty minutes per game.

Normally, after halftime, the main players have a certain amount of rest, physical recovery, and will continue to steal points at the beginning of the third quarter.

The bench lineup usually starts to start coming up in the second half of the third quarter.

It's rare for the Wizards to take the lead in the third quarter when the scores are still tied between the two teams.

"What is that Wang Xiao thinking?"

Suns head coach D'Antoni felt strange, but as soon as the game began, he couldn't help but frown.

Because the pace of the game slowed down in an instant.

The Wizards were the first to attack after the start of the third quarter.

The whole team changed the previous style of bombardment, and actually had their own positions, and then Harden slowly dribbled at the top arc to look for opportunities, and actually dragged the 24-second offensive time to about 6 seconds before suddenly hitting the basket.

Defending Harden is dunk king Jason. Richardson, the scoring ability is quite outstanding, but he is also a typical offensive and defensive weak player in the league, especially the lateral movement speed is very slow, and it is easy to be passed by one step in the face of the young and strong Harden who is extremely fast.

Harden, who rushed inside, jumped up and scored on a throw-in before Stoudemire could make up the defense.

was singled by Harden, and the Suns didn't care, and Stoudemire immediately retreated to serve outside the line.

After Nash received the ball, he almost subconsciously turned around and wanted to play a fast break.

But when he turned around, the movement of his hands did not pause.

The Wizards' players have all stepped back and are ready to go.

In this case, Nash can only control the ball first and look for opportunities.

But as soon as he stood still, a man rushed in front of him.

Beverley's motor nerves and reflexes are excellent, as well as his defensive aggressiveness, which allows him to perform well on both defensive and tackles.

Having been in the league for many years, Nash hasn't come across a player like Beverley, and he knows exactly how to deal with that kind of defense.

But with such a hearty offense in the first half, even a point guard like Nash would feel uncomfortable when he suddenly faced a player like Beverley with a defensive style like a mad dog.

After being guarded by Beverley, Nash's first reaction was to accelerate and break into the interior.

He succeeded, one step past Beverley, he immediately rushed into the interior, and Jordan Jr. immediately came up to help the defense.

Seeing Jordan Jr., Nash's mind immediately came up with the position of Frye, who Jordan Jr. should defend at this time.

Without thinking, he immediately approached Little Jordan, and then put the basketball in his hand against Little Jordan's back.

The basketball is sent to Frye, who grabs the basketball and is about to pull up the dunk!

However, at this moment, a pair of black hands reached out like lightning and sliced the basketball off Frye's hand!

It's Beverly!

After being passed by Nash, he did not immediately chase Nash, but immediately looked at Frye, who was in charge of defense by Jordan Jr.

After watching the half-game, Beverley knew very well that if he had the opportunity, Nash would definitely choose to pass the ball instead of attacking himself, so he rushed to Frye as soon as he could.

"Squeak squeak—"

The whistle blew and the referee signaled for a foul on Beverley's cut-ball hitter.
