Richardson (below)

In the 2009-2010 playoffs Western Conference finals, the Phoenix Suns challenged the powerful Los Angeles Lakers, the first two games of the Suns were defeated by a big score, and in the third game, the Lakers' star Kobe Bryant was not soft at all, he almost played a triple-double! 36 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds on 13-of-24 shooting! Pau Gasol also had the most efficient game of the entire series, shooting 11 of 14 from the field for 23 points and nine rebounds, and Derrick Fisher was on top of his game, scoring 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting!

But the Lakers players didn't take a win away from SunCity with that kind of performance.

In this game, the whole Sun team suddenly broke out without warning and had never had a small universe in the whole season, and every player on the court was doing their best and swearing to the death!

Steve Nash scored 17 points and handed out 15 assists! Center Robin Lopez, who averaged only 8 points per game in the regular season, scored 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting, and although Grant Hill did not perform well on the offensive end, scoring only 5 points on 1-of-4 shooting, he also contributed 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals of all-round data, and our protagonist Jason Richardson scored 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting, and the hero of the victory was the "little bully" Stoudemire on the inside! He scored 29 points on 10-of-12 shooting in the second half, and even scored 42 points in the game! Whether it is facing Gasol, Bynum or Odom on the inside, Stoudemire plays with ease, and Odom has graduated with six fouls!

In the fourth game, Kobe Bryant was still the most feared killer, he hit 15 of 22 shots, including 6 three-pointers, and scored 38 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds! The rest of the Lakers starters also performed well, with Gasol scoring 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting, Bynum scoring 13 points and eight rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting, and Ron Artest, who turned the Lakers from the Rockets this season, scored 13 points on 6-of-13 shooting, Fisher scored 8 points on 4-of-7 shooting and handed out two assists, grabbed two rebounds and made two steals.

The result of the game was a 115-106 win for the Suns, the Suns mainly won on the bench, "Brazilian Lightning" Barbossa only played 17 minutes and scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting, while Dudley scored 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, Dragic scored 8 points on 3-of-6 shooting, sent 8 assists and grabbed 4 rebounds, Louis Armondeson scored 7 points on 3-of-3 shooting and grabbed 7 rebounds, on the other hand, the Lakers, in addition to Odom's double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds on 6-of-13 shooting, Others such as Jordan Farmar scored 3 points on 1-of-5 shooting and Shannon Brown went 1-of-7 for just 2 points in the game.

In the first four games, the Lakers did not ask for any bargain on the Suns, the big score was a 2:2 draw, and the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain was crucial, and whoever won this game meant that one foot had stepped on the floor of the finals!

The fifth stop, Suns VS Lakers, this is also the pinnacle of this round of the series!

This game was the Lakers hosting the Phoenix Suns from afar at Staples Center, and in the first quarter of the game, on their own turf, Derrick Fisher broke out strongly! He scored a full 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting in a single quarter! Although Nash also scored nine points, he used seven shots to get those nine points, and the Lakers led by three points at 24-21 into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lakers played a smooth inside and outside cooperation, Kobe Bryant in the first quarter of 2 shots scored 13 points on 4-of-8 shots in a single quarter, and Odom scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shots, the Lakers who played such a performance made the Suns unable to resist, and the team gradually collapsed, the Suns had as many as 7 turnovers in a single quarter, but only 4 assists, Nash scored 6 points on 3-of-5 shots in a single quarter, Stardaudemire scored 6 points on 2-of-3 shots, and Grant Hill scored 7 points on 2-of-4 shots. At the end of the first half, the Suns trailed the Lakers by 8 points at 45:53.

In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers still insisted on efficient combination tactics inside and outside, Kobe Bryant scored 8 points with 8 shots in a single quarter, Gasol also scored 8 points on 4 of 5 shots, and at the critical moment, the Suns' backup center Channing Frye suddenly became powerful, he shot two three-pointers and one shot in a single quarter and scored 8 points, Nash 5 points, Stoudemire 4 points, Dudley 6 points, Richardson 2 points, Barbossa 2 points, all the members of the Suns did their best to contribute their last strength, the Suns 27:25 Lakers in a single quarter, recovered two points.

At the beginning of the critical fourth quarter of the game, both sides first sent substitute players in order to give the starters time to breathe, but at this time the Suns' offense suddenly short-circuited, Frye, Dragic, Dudley, Barbossa all missed shots, the Suns started to defend the NBA's relatively rare 2-3 defense, but the effect was not good, Laker Odom broke through the layup and hit two points, Kobe Bryant faced Dudley ** three-point shot, that posture was really picturesque, the Suns 72-83 behind a full 11 points! The Suns changed the formation 1-3-1, the effect was immediate, preventing the Lakers for 24 seconds, with 9 minutes and 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Barbosa made a three-point shot, and the ball fell into the hands of Channing Frye under the basket, who took the ball and stuffed it to the basket and was slapped by Gasol's giant palm, Frye got up again to grab the rebound in the front court, and the strong attack caused Gasol's foul, Frye was about to make a free throw, and suddenly Dragic and Vujacic broke out into a conflict, this offensive round actually has nothing to do with the two, Xiaode is purely depressed, The whole series was put away by Vujacic and couldn't find a feeling, and then was instigated by Vujacic trash talk, lost his mind, and both sides committed technical fouls, and Frye hit both free throws, 74-83. Then there was a controversial decision on the court, Kobe Bryant made a three-point shot in an attack, and Dudley, who defended him, had a suspected hitter's action, but the referee turned a blind eye, Kobe spread his hands in the return visit, but did not speak, and the referee gave Kobe a "T" without hesitation.

Amonderson forced Gasol to score 2 points under the basket, and Frye rarely forced Bynum to cause the latter to foul, and hit one of two free throws, the Suns 77:83. 77:86!

In fact, Dragic and Vujacic are compatriots, both are Slovenian players, this game is just pushing and shoving, the sixth game is exciting, directly start to do it, that year's World Championships, the Slovenian national team in order to take care of Xiaode's emotions, did not select Vujacic into the team, think about our Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, and then look at them, alas~~ (Alas used several symbols to indicate that I am very deep tone~~) compatriots to this part, to paraphrase an Internet word, that is--I am also drunk.

Let's go back to the game, after Vujacic hit a three-pointer, there was inevitably another provocation in the return visit, and Dragic was not to be outdone, and also hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, 80:86!

Jordan Farmar faked a real pass, Kobe Bryant bypassed Dudley, and hit a two-point 80:88 in the air! Suns Frye catches the ball from beyond the three-point line and throws the ball into the basket with Gasol's long arm who ran up to block 83:88!

Then Xiao De missed the throw in the offense, and Kobe Bryant made a long pass to Gasol in the backcourt and hit a layup! 83:90!

Dudley drew a foul on Bryant on offense, and the two free throws totaled 85:90 with 5 minutes and 22 seconds left, and the two sides sent out the starting lineups.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant held the ball and attracted two people to wrap up, Kobe passed the ball to Fisher in the left bottom corner, and the latter hit 85:93 three-point shot! Gasol's retreat was not timely, and Stoudemire scored 87:93 with a one-handed dunk!

Gasol not only made a mid-range shot, but Nash continued to use the block and cover to cover the gap, threw the shot, and after the ball went in, he also brushed the messy hair on his forehead behind his ears with his hand, chic! Coquettish! 89:93! The Suns are only four points behind!

At the critical moment, the black mamba spit out the letter, and Kobe Bryant once again sent the basketball into the basket with a difficult mid-range shot, 89:95! But Nash is not a good type, Nash uses his speed to force Fisher, half a body ahead of the latter, holding the ball with his right hand and picking up the basket with one hand! The goal also caused a foul on Fisher! This ball is extremely elegant, a few points more stretching than Curry's movements! Nash hit a free throw 92-95!

Bryant missed another difficult shot, and Nash passed the ball to Stoudemire who received the ball just as he was about to violate the foul on 24 seconds, who made the basket! 94:95! There is only one point left in the difference!

At the critical moment, Fisher's big heart hit a shot from the left side, 94:97! There are two and a half minutes left in the game! The Suns handed over a timeout, and after the timeout, Frye missed a three-point shot, and Gasol forced an inside line to cause a foul on Stoudemire, and Gasol hit both free throws, 94-99!

There was only a minute and a half left in the clock, and the atmosphere on the court became more tense and hot, Nash hit a shot, Odom hit a basket, and Nash hit a two-pointer again, 98:101!

At this time, Artest hit a three-point iron, Gasol grabbed the rebound, Artest didn't hit a two-point shot, and Fry grabbed this crucial rebound! With less than 20 seconds left, the Suns can only ask for a three-pointer!

But the difficulty of shooting a three-pointer at this time can be imagined, Frye's three-pointer missed, and Nash's three-pointer didn't go in, but Nash desperately grabbed this golden frontcourt rebound, and then handed it to Richardson, who made a three-point shot, or hit the iron, Frye grabbed this frontcourt rebound again, and handed it to Richardson again, Richardson shot with a bow and arrow, calmly shot, and the basketball smashed on the rebound and then luckily fell into the net! Hit!

101-101 flat! Deathly silence throughout the Stamps Center!

Richardson scored only one goal in the fourth quarter, but it was the Suns' most crucial goal.

With 2.5 seconds left, the Lakers took a timeout by Odom, who was tall and arm-long, and at this point, anyone knew who would choose to shoot! Sure enough, Fisher ran from the left three-point line to the right three-point line to attract the defense, but the defensive Nash didn't care about him at all, it turned out that Nash's choice was correct, this was just a smoke bomb, Kobe rushed from the free throw line to the top of the arc, and suddenly folded to the outside of the three-point line on the right rib after attracting the defense, Gasol blocked the defender for Kobe, Kobe opened his hand to ask for the ball, Odom passed, Kobe's defense was still chasing after him, Kobe Bryant faced a double attack, and still chose to shoot by himself, Kobe received the ball, turned around, and jumped, The whole action was done in one go, and it was perfect, but - cast a three-no-stick!

Is it over? Of course not, as long as the red light doesn't come on, you never know what's going to happen, even if it's just a few seconds or even a few tenths of a second!

That's the beauty of the NBA, that's the charm of basketball!

Kobe Bryant threw a three-way shot and happened to fall into the hands of Artest who rushed in from outside the three-point line, and Artai turned directly in the air, threw the ball into the air, and the basketball almost rubbed against the eaves of the rebound, and then fell into the net bag!

Lore! Artest's lore!

The entire Staples Center was in a huge.

Nash had 29 points and 11 assists in the game, but still didn't walk away with a win. In the sixth game between the two sides, the Suns were suppressed by the Lakers from the beginning of the game, and the Suns scored 74 points in the first three quarters, but the Lakers scored 91 points, and in the fourth quarter, although Stoudemire scored 12 points to lead the Suns to a 29:20 scoring difference, but still could not beat the Lakers, Kobe Bryant contributed 37 points in this game, Suns Stoudemire scored 27 points, Nash 21 points and 9 assists, Richardson 13 points, Frye 12 points and 13 rebounds, but they are all in the past, This is how the Suns ended one of their most regrettable seasons.

If it weren't for Artay's stunner in Game 5, entering overtime, the Suns still had hope of winning, and if the Suns won, 3:3, maybe the result wouldn't be like this, but, without ifs, this is the cruelty of professional basketball.

And this season can be said to be Richardson's last glory.

In the 2010-2011 season, Richardson only played 15 games, and was traded to the Orlando Magic, with him, as well as Richardson's former teammate in the Warriors, Gilbert Arenas, after Arenas left the Warriors, he became the boss of the Wizards, and he can score more than 20 points almost every season. The highest season averaged 29.3 points per game, which was a moment of brilliance with Kobe Bryant at the time, but Ariana of the veteran Magic team has long since lost his courage after a major injury, and Arenas can only average 8 points per game after the end of the season.

That year's Magic was a rising confidence, the core of the team was Dwight Howard, and the overall strategic thinking was that on the offensive end, Howard turned over the river and the sea inside, and if the opponent was trapped, the four muskets on the outside line were lined up, and they took turns to volley, and on the defensive end, the muskets were responsible for the opponent's outside shots, and if they broke through the inside line, Howard sent them to the hot pot.

This year, Richardson's role on the offensive end decreased, averaging only 13.9 points per game, the Magic entered the playoffs in fourth place in the East, facing the fifth-place Hawks, but the Magic was beaten and lost the series 2:4, in the playoffs Richardson's state declined significantly, averaging only 10 points per game, in the 2011-2012 season, Richardson's state further declined, and he played 54 games in the regular season. He averaged only 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, shooting only 40.8% from the field. But relying on the league's big bug Dwight Howard's average of 20.6 points and 14.5 rebounds per game, the Magic entered the playoffs with the sixth place in the East, this time their opponent was the Indiana Pacers, this year was Howard's last year with the Magic, and at the beginning of the playoffs, Howard did not play one of the five playoff games due to injury, but more because the conflict between Howard and head coach Big Van Gundy became public, and after five games, the Walkers sent the Magic back to Orlando 4:1, Team boss Danny Granger averaged 21.4 points and 7 rebounds per game, Magic's chubby Glenn Davis played well, averaging 19 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, while Richardson averaged only 11.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.

In the 2012-2013 season, the Magic team that lost Howard began to rebuild, and it happened that the general manager of the 76ers wanted to bring in Andrew Bynum, who had begun to be a little out of his head, for which the 76ers ate up Richardson's three-year, $18 million contract (this deal may be the worst deal in NBA history, 76ers president Scott O'Neal paid Iguodala, Vucevic and Harkless plus a first-round pick for Bynum, Bynum received a check for $16.9 million from 76ers management, but didn't play even a minute for the 76ers. Richardson played in just 33 games this season, averaging just 10.5 points per game, and in 2013-2014 Richardson was reimbursed for left knee surgery and did not return until 2014-2015, playing 19 games and averaging 9.1 points per game, and after the season, Richardson became a free agent.

In 2015, Richardson, who wanted to fight again, signed an unsecured contract with the Hawks, but doctors found that he had a bone spur in his knee, and after weighing Richardson's decision to retire, and on September 24, 2015, he officially issued a statement, and finally said, "I don't want to spend the rest of my life lame, I don't want to just take money and not help." ”

His words are the same as what Yao Ming said when he retired: "I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair." "It's the same.

Rational ** is so.

Throughout Richardson's entire career, he won two slam dunk trophies in the first two years of his career, and since then, the title of "dunk king" has been on his head, in fact, Richardson is also a very good three-point shooter, he hit a total of 1608 three-pointers in his 14-year career, ranking 16th all-time, with a three-point shooting rate of 37%.

Except for the trophy of the two dunk kings, Richardson has no honors that can be obtained, he has been the boss but has led the team with poor results, officially because of this, so although Richardson's statistics at his peak are acceptable, he has never been selected to the All-Star team, and reaching the Western Conference Finals with Nashstaudemire is already the farthest he has gone in the playoffs, he is Jason Richardson, a star who once belonged to the backbone of the league, from the moment he announced his retirement, He will become a unique memory in NBA history.
