On paper, the configuration of the bench team is not bad, but if you look closely, Mike Reed is no longer the star player of the Bucks, affected by injuries, Mike Reed has never regained his former ability, and now he is only averaging 8 points per game in the Suns, but the shooting rate is only 40%. It can be said that he cannot be regarded as a qualified substitute player.

Power forward Channing Frye, although he has a certain ability to block and rebound, but due to his thin stature, he has not been able to make a difference under the basket, and with the help of Nash, he has gradually become a projection space power forward. With a height of 211cm and a weight of only 115kg, Frye has always been a constraint on his development.

As for center Marcin Gortat, he is a long-term interior man with excellent mobility and is good at blocking and dismantling; With a medium-range range, both hands can jump hooks; Mobility is enough to defend pick-and-rolls, and the ability to defend rebounds and blocks under the basket is also the best player for the Suns at the moment. So although he is currently on the bench, he is averaging more than 30 minutes per game.

Chen Shu saw such a starting and substitute lineup, a lineup dominated by veterans, and tactics that required impact, and everyone felt that it was indeed difficult for the Suns to make a difference this year.

The two sides are in place, and head coach Gentry is still practicing the "run&gun" tactics that the Suns have been using today. In fact, the Suns' tactical routine is not complicated, in short, it is a "fast" word. Nash's Suns do not pursue complex passing to create open shooting opportunities, but keep the ball in motion as much as possible, not letting go of any shooting opportunity, and every player can be the initiator of the offense, but also the finisher of the offense, striving to play the most efficient blitzkrieg in the shortest time.

As soon as he came up, the starting team kicked off, Nash took the lead, quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, and saw Chen Shu who came to defend him, in Chen Shu's suspicious eyes, he flashed by, and in an instant, there was no sign of slowing down. Before small forward Hakeem Warrick's defense arrived, the basketball was already under Nash's wrist and into the hands of Grant Hill, who dribbled a step to open up space with the defense and hit a mid-range shot.

In a flash of lightning, 4 seconds passed while the main team completed a wonderful offensive coordination. Not only did Chen Shu not reflect, but even the veteran players of the Suns did not keep up with the defense in time. It can be seen how Nash's speed and timing of his passes fit well with the "run&gun" tactic.

It's no wonder that in previous seasons, the Suns, under the leadership of Nash, slaughtered all sides in the playoffs, but unfortunately failed to break out of the West, perhaps the difference is not strength, but luck.

"Beautiful mid-range, Hill" Nash came over and clapped his hands with Hill.

Although it was only a training match, Nash conveyed the spirit of leadership and encouraged his teammates. This is exactly what Chen Shu is currently missing.

This training match was actually decided by Nash and Gentry after discussion, with two purposes, one is to let Chen Shu get familiar with the technical characteristics of each teammate, so that he can integrate into the team better and faster. The second is to let Chen Shu and Nash play against each other, and feel the charm of fast attack tactics, everything Nash does on the court can provide Chen Shu with an example for him to learn and experience.

From here, it can be seen that Chen Shu is indeed lucky to be favored by Nash and has always considered him. This is a rare thing in the vanity fair of the NBA.

Of course, for Gentry, there is another purpose. It is to really assess Chen Shu's current strength and potential. Let's see if we can get a first-round pick and Ronnie Price right, which is what management is most concerned about. After all, Nash is about to grow old, and he still has plans to pursue the championship next year, and Chen Shu is favored by Nash as his successor, which still needs to be verified.

After coming back to his senses, Chen Shu was not polite to Nash, he knew that only by showing his strength could he be recognized by his coach and teammates. Straight outside the 3-point line to pull out his hand, Nash has very little interference.

Nash's height, weight, and arm span can be said to be strikingly similar to Chen Shu. And with the help of the system, Chen Shu's bounce has now reached the upstream level, and he can say that he has exploded Nash.

3-point hit, no suspense. Gintri on the sidelines clenched his fists expressionlessly, Chen Shu's ability to attack the outside of the defense was stronger than Nash, and several tactics suitable for Chen Shu flashed in his heart.

"Hey, Chen, your outside ability, it's really strong, it's a training game, you have to connect your teammates, that's the most important thing for a point guard" Nash whispered to Chen Shu, Nash is a traditional point guard, although he has top-notch shooting ability, but still the first priority is to connect the team.

Nash's meaning is obvious, the Suns need a player like Nash who can sort out the team's offense, and if Chen Shu wants to take over the team, the first thing to do is to learn to control the team's offensive system, and then intersperse his own offense.

Back at halftime, Nash once again demonstrated to Chen how a successful guard should quickly catch the action on the court and get the basketball to his teammates in the open space as soon as possible.

Nash came over with the ball, Chen Shu didn't get distracted this time, and used his footsteps to block Nash tightly in front of him. Even so, Nash stood at the top of the arc and stopped, but the basketball was passed straight to Morris by him in the form of a hand-throwing hanging pass, and Morris took the ball and hit a jumper.

This pass has no unbridled imagination, no sense of fluidity, and no difficult skills, not even gorgeous, and ordinary people seem to have such a bland cooperation.

But Chen Shu understands that this is the realm of a top point guard, and Nash can save a lot of unnecessary skills, and use his vision and fleeting timing to give the ball to the right teammates.

This is also what Nash demonstrated to Chen Shu, and it is exactly what Chen Shu needs to learn now.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, through observation and learning, I have comprehended, and the passing attribute has increased by 4 points."

Chen Shu almost jumped up with excitement when he heard the system's prompt. Fortunately, he reacted, but now in full view of everyone, if he really reacts, he will be regarded as a psychopath.

Chen Shu also knew for the first time that he could increase his own attributes through comprehension. Thinking about it for a moment, in fact, this is also very reasonable, learning and training are ultimately transformed into consciousness and perception, and then reflected through their own attributes.

"Thank you, Steve," Chen said to Nash gratefully.

"Haha" Nash just glanced back at Chen Shu and smiled knowingly. Everyone likes to deal with smart people.

Chen Shu's passing attribute has now reached 77 points after just comprehending, and Nash's almost hand-to-hand words and deeds are worth Chen Shu's several months of solo training.

At this time, Chen Shu suddenly discovered that coming to the sun was really the right one, and having a selfless mentor like Nash would be of great benefit to his career. This is something that Chen Shu didn't feel at all in the bulls.
