On Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. ET, at Charlotte's Bobcats Arena in Charlotte (not even a big corporation wants to name their arena and only use the team's name), the fourth game of the Suns' regular season begins here.

Before the game, the Suns made a news announcement, confirming that Amare Stoudemire will miss two weeks of games due to a knee contusion, and at the same time Kerr stated that the team is currently close to signing Grant Hill, and he is expected to join the team in Miami as soon as possible to play the team against the Heat.

When Leon was asked if the team would use life lineups and tactics to make up for the absence of Xiaosi, Leon said very officially that the team will definitely have someone to step up, and said that the Suns are experienced and prepared for this.

But only he knew in his heart that in this game, the team would conduct another bold experiment, but at the beginning of the game, no one could see that Leon replaced the position of Xiao Si with Turiaf and continued the team's starting lineup.

Relative to the Suns' lack of big players, the opposite Bobcats have a full lineup, and their starters are Gerard Wallace, Raymond Felton, Emeka Okafor, Primoz Blazek and Jason Richardson, which should be said to be a good lineup. Okafor, as the star of the 05 list, is very strong, Wallace, Felton, and Richardson all have very good individual abilities, and only Primoz Blazek is a bit more dish.

But it looks like this point may become a strong point tonight, at least some teams and experts think so, Primoz Blazek is 7-foot-2 tall, and there is no one on the Suns interior who can match it, and in 05,06, Primoz Blazek was an important inside point for the Bobcats, but his form dropped sharply last season, scoring fell off a cliff, and his form in the first few games of this season was just as worrying.

Some local media in Charlotte predicted before the game, hoping that Primoz Blazek would play well against the Suns in this game and boost his confidence. After all, in the last game against the Cavaliers, Gooden and Big Z teamed up to score 40 points, and they overturned the river on the Suns inside, and Xiao Si was absent again.

After the opening ceremony, Leon shook hands with Bobcats coach Sam Vincent, who had played in the NBA in the eighties and nineties, played for many teams, and was considered a qualified role player, and last season he was an assistant coach with the Mavericks, giving Johnson a hand, and as a result, the Mavericks set the best record in history and then were blacked out, and the Mavericks coaching staff was disbanded, and he was poached to the Bobcats as head coach.

As the head coach, he is not well-known, so shaking hands with Leon is also a little weak, and I don't know what strategy the Suns will use in this game.

Once the game began, the Bobcats took the lead in possession, and Raymond Felton held the ball across half court and began to organize the Bobcats' first attack. Compared to the Suns, the Bobcats are the quintessential offensive constipation team, averaging less than 100 points per game. There are two reasons, one is the slow pace of the offense, and the other is that the team's outside shooting level is not good.

Whether it is Gerard Wallace, Filton or Richardson, they all have projection ability, but they are not stable enough, especially Filton and Wallace, the two points of point guard and small forward, and the three-point ability is insufficient, so Leon arranged it very clearly before the game, playing a joint defense at the beginning and letting the Bobcats play iron outside for a while.

Sure enough, for the Suns to open with joint defense, the Bobcats were a little unprepared, the ball was guided around the outside, and after a while, he couldn't find a chance to break through, and finally Gerald Wallace took the ball in the bottom right corner and stepped inside the three-point line to shoot a large two-point shot.

"Phew!"

The ball smashed into the basket, and as soon as the ball was shot, it was known that it was crooked, and Sean Marion struggled to grab the backcourt rebound, handed it to Nash, and the Suns launched a counterattack.

After Xiao Si was absent, the Suns returned to the rhythm of the whirlwind of the past on offense, Nash advanced quickly with the ball, Marion and Dior went down quickly, Bale dragged back, Nash after some observation and selection, a back-of-head pass was given to Turiaf who was inserted from the end, Turiaf received the ball directly two big strides, and dunked under the basket from the middle!

When Turyav dunked, Primoz Blazek had just come back and got the ball that fell from the basket and went to serve from the baseline.

The 7-foot-2" Primoz Brezek couldn't keep up with the pace, and Turyaf didn't have the offensive ability but he had the advantage in speed, and the Suns started the game with the lead.

Tonight at the Bobcats' home stadium, the number of fans is still sparse, the Bobcats have only been in the league for a few years, the results are sparse, the last two seasons have improved slightly, began to build their own core lineup, there are a few players who are quite strong, but they don't have their own superstars. None of the starters could attract young fans to the scene to watch the game, so there were many players wearing Sun Nash and Xiaosi jerseys in the stands.

The Bobcats attacked, and the tactics they arranged before the game were to focus on the inside, but in the face of the Suns' joint defense, it was difficult to pass the ball inside, and it could only run on the outside. Marion got another backcourt rebound, Nash countered with the ball, and the Bobcats dropped back fast enough that they couldn't play a quick offense.

Nash distributed the ball to Dio, who received the ball in the corner, and then his wide vision found Bell in the bottom corner, and passed the ball to Bell in the bottom left corner, Bell received the ball and pretended to shoot, shook off Richardson, cut into the basket from the baseline Okafor made up for it, if Xiao Si was there, Bell hit the ground Xiao Si received the ball and dunked.

But Turyaf obviously can't, Bell passed the ball to him, Okafor can still turn back to defend, Turyaf does not have the ability to attack the basket, he can't get up in the three-second zone he can only pass the ball back, Nash reorganizes the offense.

After back-to-back crotch dribbles, Nash cut inside with the help of Dio's cover, then used the rhythm to shake off Felton, and made a difficult low-handed throw with his right hand, dodging Primoz Blazek's block, and wiping the board into the basket, and the Suns scored two more points.

As you can see from the first three games, Nash's desire to attack is much stronger now than before, which is considered a failure of Leon's offensive tuning, but Nash and Leon are convinced that this will be a big reason for their success.

The Suns got off to a good start, and the Bobcats got stuck in the Suns' defensive quagmire, they tried to shoot outside the three-point line again, this time it was Raymond Felton, a three-pointer at the top of the arc, or missed, the ball popped up and went far away, a long rebound, Dio got the rebound directly at the top of the arc, and Marion had rushed out of the long distance, Dio directly made a long pass from a long distance, Marion received the ball in the front court and dunked directly with both hands.

At the beginning of 6:0, the Bobcats had to call a timeout, obviously their coach was not prepared enough before the game, he didn't expect the Suns' joint defense to be so resolute and thorough, and the players couldn't shoot long, once the three points missed a long rebound, it was a good opportunity for the Suns to break fast, and after a few more rounds of such a ball, the Bobcats would probably be broken in the first quarter.

Vincent adjusted the Bobcats' lineup, no longer stupidly using the big man Primoz Blazek, but replaced guard Jeff McGinnis to enhance the outside projection and ball rotation ability, the Suns did not make substitutions, continued this lineup, Leon is ready to pull the score a little away, and then on his experimental lineup, in fact, he does not have enough confidence in his heart.

As the game continued, the Suns continued to attack the Bobcats at their fast pace, and the Bobcats improved dramatically after McGinnis, moving the ball faster from the outside, and they began to hit outside shots, which allowed the Suns to change their defensive strategy and return to normal.

At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led the Bobcats by 9 points at 30:21, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the Suns played a small 7:0 climax, stretching the difference to 16 points, laying a relatively large advantage, so after a timeout, Leon began to make substitutions, and he replaced Turiaf with newcomer Dudley, so that the Suns sent a lineup without a real center.

Leon began what has been described as a "self-digging grave" lineup experiment.
