Chapter 164: Nash in Phoenix

This meeting with the Suns is also the last meeting between the two teams this season, and in the previous two meetings, the Kings defeated the Suns twice at home and away, so it can be said that there is a certain gap in the strength of the two teams.

Steve. Nash has a very special place in Tyrek's heart, and he has become Tyrek with his memories of the past. Evans, the NBA superstar who played for the first time was Steve Brown. Nash, it was the preseason game on October 6, 2010, and Tyreco won that game, and this game also left a deep impression on Terek, and the exchange of Nash's jersey after the game is still treasured by Terrick at home, which is a witness to Tyreco's new life.

At the same time, Tyrek also knew that Nash would leave Phoenix after this season and become a member of the Los Angeles Lakers to win the championship, so this game was also the last meeting between Tyrek and Nash, who wore the Suns' No. 13 jersey......

Nash has experienced three teams in his career: Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, and Los Angeles Lakers, in the Dallas Mavericks, Nash has shown strong personal strength, and has been selected as an All-Star twice in his 6-year Mavericks career, but Nash's real peak is naturally in the Phoenix Suns, he was a late bloomer at the age of 30 and 31 years old and was elected as the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, and won the assist king in 5 of the Suns' 8 years.

In Tyreco's memory, Nash was selected as an All-Star for the last time in his career in the 11-12 season, but Nash missed the All-Star this year, Tyrek understood that it was because of his appearance that affected the development of history, after all, in his former memory, he was not elected as an All-Star in this year, and Tyrek had a feeling in his heart that he had "grabbed" the All-Star seat that belonged to Nash.

On this visit to Phoenix, Tyrek's biggest thought was to enjoy this game, the final game against the Suns' No. 13.

The last time I went to the US Airways Center in Phoenix, the Kings were with a two-game losing streak, and this time it was the same, Tyrek and Nash greeted each other for a long time before the game, because in that preseason Tyreic showed a fan in front of Nash, which made Nash also have an inexplicable good impression of Tyrek, after that preseason game, the two often contact through phone text messages and social networks, Nash has also been to Tyrek's Penglai Hall a few times, and the two who are both No. 13 are now good friends.

Nash is 15 years older than Tyrek, Nash is an absolute senior, he has been successful and has been following Tyreco's growth since last season, he knows Tyreco's talent, Tyreco's performance this season still surprised Nash, after all, Terek is not yet 23 years old, Nash thinks that he is just a substitute when he is less than 23 years old.

At this time, Nash has reached the age of 38, but in today's Suns, Nash is still the most critical core, this season Nash's personal average of less than 10 shots per game, but the shooting percentage has reached a new high in recent years, less than 10 shots can still get 12+10 average data per game, and the average number of assists per game this season is only Rajan of the Celtics. Rondo is taller than Nash, and it's fair to say that the 38-year-old Nash is still the top point guard in this league.

Steve. Nash, Jaled. Dudley, Grant. Hill, Channing. Frye, Malchin. Gortat, the Suns' starting lineup has strength, but it is indeed not a strong team, if the 38-year-old Nash and Hill, who are about to turn 40, return to the top, the son of the wind and Jordan's successor, this Suns team is absolutely terrifying, of course, this is just a fantasy, and now the 10th record in the West truly reflects the strength of the Suns today.

However, at this time, the Suns, who are still fighting for a playoff spot, have a strong thirst for victory, after all, although they are temporarily ranked 10th in the West, they are only 2 wins away from the top 8 in the West.

Against the visiting Kings, the Suns showed their fighting spirit from the start, and Gortat started the offensive wave for the Suns with a dunk after a pick-and-roll with Nash, plus a low-post single to force Cousins.

Under Nash's tandem, the Suns dominated the interior line of Gortat and Frye, Gortat output at a low post, and Freira flew kites on the outside, and the Suns' offense played smoothly, but the Suns' defense obviously couldn't prevent the Kings.

The three outside lines of the Kings' starters, Nash, Dudley, Hill, among which the best defense is actually Hill, who is almost 40 years old, you can imagine how this outside defense can withstand the impact of Tyreck, although Hill showed good defensive ability at the end of his career, but after all, age is here, speed, footwork, reaction, etc. can not keep up with the young and strong Tyreck, the two teams played hard in the first quarter of the game, and the Suns led the Kings by 2 points at 30-28.

The game entered the second quarter, and as the game deepened, the advantage of the King's individual ability was gradually revealed, and Tyrek and Cousins were obviously much stronger than others, this is talent! Cousins' low-post skills and physical condition made it difficult for the Suns to defend inside, and Tyrek was even more vulnerable to the Suns' defense, and with the support of West, Morrow, Farid and others, the score gap between the two teams was quickly widened.

Just when everyone thought that the Suns had lost the ability to resist, someone on the Suns' bench stood up in time! It's Michael. Reed!

Reed, who played for the Milwaukee Bucks for 11 years, joined the Suns this season, playing little time, but he can be regarded as a stable bench scoring point, from the 03-04 season to the 08-09 season, Reed averaged more than 20 points per game for 6 consecutive years, and was elected an All-Star in the 03-04 season.

Although Reed has long since declined, the blood of the scorer is still hot, and Reed, who came off the bench in this game, feels amazing, and does nothing else after playing, just score! Reed played 19 minutes in the game, shooting 10-of-13 and 3-of-5 from three-point range, scoring 25 points efficiently, and his personal scoring was the highest for the Suns.

Relying on Reed's magical play off the bench, the Suns held on to the Kings until the last quarter, but in the last quarter, the Chinese Kings made another effort and played a wave of 16-4 under the leadership of Tyrek to lose the suspense of the game, and finally the Kings won the victory 104-91 on the road, ending the two-game losing streak on the Suns again, and also won the 30th victory of the season, Tyrek scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

After the game, Tyrek and Nash exchanged on the sidelines for a long time, the two No. 13s sympathized with each other, Nash has reached the end of his career, and Terek is continuing to grow, although the two play styles are completely different, but the same number and the same court position, this is a kind of inheritance......
