The Suns made adjustments that were expected, they had a big lead, and at the same time they lacked the important inside point of Xiao Si, they no longer had a center on the bench, and only a 6-foot-9" forward like Brian Skinner was left on the bench, so he could play the center on top, and it was better to make a transition with a small man to ensure their firepower.

Leon was replaced by Dudley, a Boston College graduate small forward with height and weight, and although he is a No. 3 position, he can slightly top up the No. 4 position.

In this way, Dior was promoted to the center forward position, which was not difficult for him, and it was with this opportunity that he made a splash in 2006, and was dubbed the "French Magician".

For the first offense and defense after the lineup change, the Bobcats have completely abandoned their starting center and changed to Okafor to play the No. 5 position, playing the same big and four small. Because Brezek is on the court, the offense is four to five, and the defense is facing the Sun's completely open offensive formation, Brezek can't play any role.

Of course, this has to do with Blazek's ability, his decline in the past two years is too great, so the commentators on the sidelines and the commentators on the TV station all think that this is the Suns are facing the Bobcats to use a targeted transition lineup, not realizing that Leon is adjusting his regular style of play.

Because the Suns didn't have a center, the first shot the Bobcats came back was to let Okafor play alone, Okafor didn't score a point in the first quarter, he felt very bad on offense today, and low-post offense was not his strong point, but it was no problem to play a dozen Dio, he used his body to squeeze into the inside, and hit two points with a small hook in his right hand.

On the Suns' side, Dudley's running position was still a little rusty after he came on the court, after all, this was his fourth NBA game, Nash wanted to play a reverse running tactic, but Dudley and Marion's running positions collided together, and the opportunity was lost, Nash could only redeploy and give the ball to Dio to organize the offense in the ribs.

However, Dio opted for a back-to-back pass, which was spotted by Gerard Wallace, and the Bobcats launched a rare quick counter-attack, and so far in the game, the Bobcats struggled to score every time because they didn't have a fast break.

This time the Bobcats' fast break worked, and Richardson received the ball and staged a beautiful counter-attack dunk to score two points, further narrowing the gap between the two sides to 12 points.

In the Suns' offensive round, Nash tried a three-point shot after a cover after advancing through the half, missed, Okafor grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and the Bobcats counterattacked quickly.

The Suns defended quickly this time, but Field passed a wonderful good ball, Okafor cut to the basket, Field hit the ground and plugged it straight, Okafor took the ball and went straight to the basket, Dio didn't have time to react to the ball, he was still running back with Okafor, and Okafor accelerated and threw him out of a position.

The Bobcats have chased six points in a row, and the Suns have not scored after changing lineups, so it can be seen that Dudley is a little unaccustomed to the No. 4 position when playing this lineup.

And Dio glanced at Leon on the sidelines after a defensive mistake, this is to be put on the Celtics, and he will definitely be scolded to death by Leon, and today Leon is holding his chest on the sidelines without saying a word, he still has patience.

The Bobcats used this wave of offense to play some confidence and form, and once the players found their senses, all sorts of things came in, such as the feel of the shot, such as the stance on the defensive end, and the Bobcats were slowly recovering their decline.

On the Suns' side, Nash will still pass the ball exquisitely, and they can still score, but the offense and defense of the two sides are at odds, and when the Bobcats start to score, they can't play a whirlwind of quick counterattacks, and the scoring efficiency plummets.

What is even more puzzling to fans and commentators is that Leon actually let this lineup play for 7 minutes in the second quarter, and never had the intention of replacing an inside lineman, at most, let Brent Barry replace the underperforming Dudley, and let Jascovisius replace Nash to give their core a rest.

Turyaf did not re-enter the court until the end of the second quarter, and at this time Turyaf came on the court, the score had become 56:50, and the Bobcats were only 6 points behind, and Turiaf was powerless to return to the court, and the Bobcats were already in shape.

Vincent's drop-off of Blazek felt great, and the four-big play went smoothly until the end of the first half, when the score was 58-53, and the Bobcats trailed by just five points, outscoring the Suns by 11 points in the second quarter.

The Suns' five-man lineup suffered a blow, but this was predictable for Leon, who kept thinking throughout the first half, and sure enough, a tactical idea and idea still had to be practiced in actual combat to find out the problem.

There are several problems in the five smalls, one is on the offensive end, in the absence of interior support, the tactics are very thin, and several offenses finally end with three-point shots, and the Suns' three-point hand in the first half is not very good. Dio has tried to organize the high position, but the effect is mediocre, because except for Marion, the other players have relatively average air cutting, running or finishing ability, and everyone's awareness is still not enough.

The second problem comes from defense, after using five hours, the biggest problem on the defensive end is not the weakening of the defense in the low post, with the low post ability of the Bobcats, there is no way to pose a real threat to the Suns, the problem is still in dealing with rapid counterattacks. The result of no one on the inside is for the opponent to use his speed to attack the inside with impunity in a quick counterattack, and only Turiaf has the weight in the Suns to block the opponent's fast horse impact, but Leon put him on the bench.

At halftime, these problems will definitely not be solved, although Leon already has a solution in mind, but he still has to finish this game first.

After the start of the second half, the Suns returned to the starting lineup of Turyaf at the beginning, and the two sides started to play against each other again, and the Suns adjusted and regained the initiative on the court, or Nash stepped up, dribbled in the Bobcats three-second zone for a day trip, and after coming out, he hit a two-point shot at 45 degrees on the left side to help the Suns take the lead.

On the Bobcats' side, Vincent tasted the sweetness with one big and four small in the first half, and no longer let Blazek be the starting center, and directly let Okafor play five, and started a tug of war with the Suns at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

The Bobcats continued their good form in the second quarter as Jason Richardson found his shooting touch and hit back-to-back three-pointers. On the Suns' side, Dio reappeared as a magician and gave two beautiful assists to Marion in a row, and Marion was a direct dunk on the inside.

Without Smalls, Marion is back to the same omnipotent he was in 2006, playing well on the defensive end and putting the ball in the basket on the offensive end after receiving a pass. In fact, before the start of the season, when Leon arrived in Phoenix, there were rumors that Leon might not like Marion and wanted to trade him away. The Suns were said to be targeting the Detroit Pistons' power forward Rasheed Wallace, and the Suns were ready to trade Marion for the interior defensive stalwart against the Spurs' Tim Duncan.

And the reason for this rumor is that Rashid Wallace is more like Kevin Garnett in terms of position, but Leon has supported Marion after he came, although his on-court position has been reassigned, but Marion's importance has been affirmed, so he plays very hard.

In this way, the Suns slowly consolidated the advantage again, maintaining the score gap at about 10 points, but it was difficult to pull it away further, because the Lynx's state really played, and Okafor, who originally felt like a mess on offense, has now scored 10 points, 8 of which were scored in the second quarter.

Leon can already foresee that even if this game is won, his five-small lineup in the second quarter will definitely be criticized and even scolded by experts on ESPN and other websites, as well as fans everywhere. But he didn't care, everything went according to the predetermined plan.

Midway through the third quarter, Leon called another timeout and re-replaced Turyaf with a five-small lineup.
