Chapter 374: Teaching Competition!
May 20, 2007, West Jersey Arena.
The opening game of the Seattle SuperSonics and the Phoenix Suns.
Amid the frantic cheers of Phoenix fans, YES and the SuperSonics kicked off the team's journey to the Western Conference Finals.
The game against the Phoenix Suns was tough.
Before the game, most of the media in the United States did not think that the superSonics had any chance.
The sun is not only powerful, but also very gram supersonic.
The strong point of the SuperSonics is Yes, and the Suns have two very good defenders up front, Marion and Ragabel.
The Suns' biggest weakness is their interior defense and defense at the point guard position.
If the SuperSonics have the ability to attack inside and point guard like the Rockets, they may be able to take advantage of weaknesses like the Suns.
But the SuperSonics, whether it is Milicic or David Lee, or Rondo at the point guard position, do not have a strong enough offensive advantage.
Your own strengths can be limited by others, and the opponent's weaknesses can't be grasped on your side.
Of course, this game is difficult to play.
4-0, that's the score that most pundits gave to this series.
With the current popularity of supersonic in the United States and the current situation of Yes being sought after among experts.
It's not so easy for most of them to make such pre-match predictions.
If not, it can't be beaten.
If not, there is no hope of victory.
These people could never have made such a one-sided prediction.
"Yes, another change of guard to hit Nash!"
"The Phoenix Suns are extremely resolute!"
Rondo, Milicic and David Lee can't catch the defensive weaknesses on the Suns' interior and point guard positions, and the SuperSonics can only use Yes to catch and use Yes misalignment to hit them.
"Yes will be very familiar to see the Suns' defensive strategy, this is the defensive tactic of the SuperSonics regular season this season!"
"Anyone who dares to change the anti-fight Yes, bag clip, desperate bag clip!"
"This game became, Yes changed the defense to play Nash, and the Suns will be desperate for the bag!"
"It's so familiar! The Phoenix Sun is too familiar with supersonic and Yes! ”
"From offensive tactics to defensive tactics, the Phoenix Suns are full of supersonic shadows!"
"It's a tough game for the SuperSonics, it's a desperate race!"
In the stands at the West Jersey Arena, Barkley was amazed.
It's not just about marveling at how much Phoenix fans love Yes.
Also marvel at the similarity of this sun and supersonic!
It's no wonder that before this series, the Suns were saying that they had been looking forward to a playoff matchup with Yes for a season.
"Without Big Teacher, we wouldn't have been able to make the playoffs this season as the No. 2 in the West."
"Without Big Teacher, we wouldn't have beaten the Rockets in the playoffs and made it to the Western Conference Finals."
"Without the Great Teacher, we would not have the fate of our Phoenix Suns this season!"
"You're all talking about how this series is going to be won or lost."
"In this series, we don't care about winning or losing, in this series, we are showing the big teachers what we have learned this season, we are here to learn!"
Thinking back to what the Suns said in an interview before the start of the series, Barkley was quite emotional.
On the bench of the Phoenix Suns, D'Antoni looked at the supersonic nine on the court with a look of adoration.
In this game, they were facing the dislocation of the big teacher, and the defensive strategy they used was not, the big teacher beat Nash, and he was desperate to go crazy.
The big teacher changes the defense to fight others, whether it is a small fight or a big fight against Stoudemire or Dio, the Suns' strategy is to wrap up!
Even if the big teacher hits Marion in a wrong position, the Suns' strategy is still to wrap up!
The big teacher beats Nash and lets go of Rondo, and Nash and Ragabel trap the big teacher.
The big teacher beats Marion and lets go of Quentin Richardson, and Marion and Ragabel trap the big teacher.
The big teacher beats Dior, lets go of David Lee, and Dior and Ragabel trap the big teacher.
The big teacher beats Stoudemire and lets go of Milicic, and Stoudemire and Ragabel trap the big teacher.
Crazy defensive strategy!
The big teacher has the best passing ability in history!
In the face of such a crazy bag, the big teacher passes the ball out, and it will be all empty!
In the face of hypersound, in the face of a big teacher, it is risky to develop such tactics.
The big teacher is not Kobe, the big teacher is willing to share the ball for his teammates!
However, the sun has the capital to take risks!
The Suns are not a spur.
The Suns are the best offensive team in the league, and even if they lose a lot of points because of such a bag, as long as they don't let the big teacher go crazy, they have a chance to stop it.
In this game, the Suns faced anyone on the court who played the big teacher, and they planned the tactics of the bag.
Including playing Ragabel in the opposite position.
The big teacher played Ragabel in the opposite position, and the whole team was nearby.
This game, this series, definitely doesn't give the big teacher any one-on-one chance.
However, the big teacher did not play too much in the attack in this game to play Dior and Marion.
Nash and Stoudemire, who are the main offenses of the big teacher.
In the face of the bag, the big teacher did a perfect job in individual attack and passing to teammates!
Jumping and passing the ball like crazy, both Rondo and Milicic got plenty of chances.
Looking at the childlike passes that came out of the hands of the big teacher, D'Antoni really admired it.
It's a pass that Nash can't pass!
This is also a legendary pass that belongs only to the big teacher.
Being able to enjoy a pass like Mr. Da at such a close distance is a kind of growth for every player on the Suns court.
Especially Nash.
If Nash were to face such a bag, the ball would definitely not be like this.
Nash has also played a throw-off system in positional warfare this season.
It is also a dumping system.
Nash's blame-throwing system isn't enough to go off the rails.
Strong is indeed very strong, but it is not as strong as the big teacher's throwing pot system.
Nash's pass was too accurate!
It is so accurate that teammates can predict it, and opponents can also predict it.
Although predicting does not mean that you can defend, there are times when it is not easy to pass the pot out.
For example, in the fifth game of the SuperSonics and the Spurs, the big teacher was replaced by Nash, and Nash would never be able to pass the ball out surrounded by Duncan.
The big teacher's passing is different, not to mention teammates, the opponent can't predict it.
Whenever the Suns organize the final game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, they will be amazed by the passes that come out of the Big Teacher in the face of Duncan's encirclement.
Each one is so imaginative.
Before the game against the Suns began, Yass didn't expect the Suns to be so crazy about his defense.
So desperate.
The sun thinks too high of him, right?
It was so high that it had left Ye Si speechless.
Needless to say, no matter if you are caught off the ball.
The extent to which the ball was pinched was also horrifying.
With his current passing ability, he can only use the so-called childlike pass to jump up and pass the ball when facing the bag.
And the only players in the entire Supersonic who can receive a pass like him are Rondo and Milicic.
Playing Ragabel, playing Dior, playing Marion, when he is facing the bag, it is very likely that he will not be able to score and pass the ball.
In the face of such a frantic defense of the Suns, the only places he can play in a misplaced position are Nash and Stoudemire.
Now Yes is in a dilemma.
Playing Nash in a misplaced position, facing Ragabel and Nash's bag, because Nash's defense is really too poor and his physical fitness is not good enough, Yes can have a good singles efficiency even if he faces the bag.
After Ye Si jumped up, he had a good feel value for brushing, and he was able to shoot on his own, but the feel value of the brush was not good, and his object of receiving the pot was Rondo!
If he is misplaced and looking for an opportunity to play Stoudemire, his individual attack will be greatly curbed against the bag of Smalls and Ragabel.
But his receiver is Milicic, who will make up for his personal offensive losses with an efficient finish.
Which of these two misalignments is best for the team?
Ye Si didn't make an assessment until the end of the game, when the SuperSonics lost 101-112 on the road.
"31 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists!"
"Yes played a perfect game!"
"SuperSonics reaped an expected loss!"
"Incredible picture, the whole Suns are lining up to thank Yes!"
Look at this Suns queue.
"Thank you for the on-site teaching!"
Ye Si was stunned.
Everyone in front of the TV was stunned.
