Chapter 212: We're Not Weak

At halftime, the atmosphere in the Suns' locker room was a little dreary, and Nash was even more annoyed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info originally thought that the wounded Pioneers were just a piece of cake, although there were many young talents in the lineup, and the strength of the head coach was also good, but he had already lost several generals, but he didn't expect it to be an injured tiger, and he was far from dying. However, he still intends to continue to stick to the style of play in the first half, after all, it is on his home turf.

Gentry didn't disagree with Nash's idea, he had more confidence in the team, insisting that it was just the Trail Blazers resisting stubbornly, and also pulled out Miller Sr. as the main attacker, maybe everyone else's state is not very stable, and the shooting percentage will definitely not be much higher if he is forced to shoot. He has a lot of trust in Nash, knowing that the skinny point guard, who looks weak, is a master shooter, as evidenced by his 90 percent or more free throw percentage. Under normal circumstances, players who don't shoot well make bad free throws nine times out of ten, and players who shoot good free throws can't make mistakes, even if it's a mid-range near the free throw line!

So he didn't blame the team for the performance in the first half, just asked everyone to focus on the attacking side as much as possible in the second half. In fact, this is also the tactical style of the Suns, when Gentry's predecessor D'Antoni was coached, the Suns were famous throughout the league for their "seven-second offense" and "fast whirlwind", pursuing the transfer and shooting in the fast offense, using constant running to involve the opponent's defense, so as to get shooting opportunities. This time Nash offered to take responsibility for the offense, and Gentry had nothing to say, but hoped that others would be more involved in defense and share the pressure on Nash.

In contrast to the home dressing room, the atmosphere in the visitors' dressing room was relaxed, after all, they were facing a third-place opponent in the West, and it was good to be able to maintain the advantage at the end of the first half. However, McMillan didn't think that little advantage had any impact on the eventual victory, and he felt the team needed to continue to strengthen their attack in the second half. Thinking of this, he said to Ye Feng: "Ye, what do you think of Nash's organizational attack?" Can you compete with him? ”

Ye Feng knew what the head coach was thinking, in the first half, Miller had already shown a fiery shooting touch, and under normal circumstances, the coach would let them keep shooting when he saw that his players suddenly felt hot, until the feeling disappeared. Now Miller is in such a state, of course, to continue to keep attacking, but in this way, his responsibilities as the team's point guard can only be shared by others, and the most suitable player to play with him is only Ye Feng, but McMillan does not know whether Ye Feng is willing to play a supporting role, as the commander of the team to continue to organize the offense, in his opinion, although Ye Feng has been very generous, but as a young player may be a little resistant.

However, Ye Feng doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, there is comradeship on the basketball court, but there is competition many times, and shooting more when you feel good is everyone's default rule. He smiled and said: "Steve's passing is really a master, I don't dare to say if I can reach this level now, but in the second half the team will organize the offense and leave it to me, I will do my best, anyway, I am the easiest against the Suns." So, Andre, it's up to you to attack in the second half, and I hope you can continue to keep the hot touch in the first half. He smiled and glanced at Miller.

Old Miller is also a human spirit, he knows that this is Ye Feng's show of favor to himself, as a veteran, he sees the situation on the field very clearly, the main point of attack of the Trailblazers in the first half is indeed on himself, and Ye Feng has taken the initiative to organize the attack, and now he is just saying this to make other teammates clear about this. But no matter how you say it, this is also your own responsibility, since you wear the jersey of the Trail Blazers, you must contribute to the team, which you can't shirk. Facing Ye Feng's sincere eyes, he smiled and said: "No problem, look at me in the second half, Nash's offense is not bad, but the defense is much worse, I am still sure." ”

McMillan looked at the expressions of the others, everyone seemed to have approved of this arrangement, he nodded and said: "Since you all think this arrangement is acceptable, then in the second half, Ye will be responsible for organizing the attack full-time, and everyone will try to pass the ball to Andre as much as possible." Others do their part, but don't follow the sun to speed up, we definitely can't compare to the other side in terms of speed, and the half-time positional battle is our advantage. We don't go for more speed, we just need to keep the offensive efficiency, and as for the offensive rounds, we can increase the number of rounds by grabbing rebounds, and I think LaMarcus and Marcus can solve the problem. ”

After the start of the second half, the two sides continued to use Nash and Miller to play against each other, but Gentry was not a stubborn person, although he agreed to Nash's request to continue scoring, but still sent a fast defensive titan Barbosa to partner Nash in the backcourt, hoping that Barbosa could use defense to suppress Miller Sr.'s scoring. But no matter how old Miller is also a point guard, his partner is still Fernandez, who is also a player who plays without the ball and shoots well, Barbosa is just one person, he can't defend both ends, and he can only run between Miller and Fernandez.

Gentry didn't think about letting Hill switch defenses and hide Nash on the defensive end, but Hill was under more pressure, Ye Feng surpassed Hill in terms of strength, speed and ball skills, and Hill could only rely on his own experience to maneuver. So if Ye Feng wants to pass the ball, he can't stop it, and it will be even worse if he is replaced by Nash, because Nash doesn't even have a height, basically the result of being caught and bullied by Ye Feng, it is better to continue to let Hill follow. If Nash is replaced, not to mention that it will break his heart, who will the team's playmaking attack be handed over? Hill? Barbossa? They are all generals, not handsomes.

And as the game deepened, Nash's old flaws were exposed, and he was a little overwhelmed by the two major responsibilities of scoring and organization, he was not the kind of physical maniac, and the superposition of the two made him feel a little unbearable, on the other hand, on the Trailblazers' side, old Miller was still at ease, after all, he only needed to take care of scoring, and there was Ye Feng in organizing the offense. Nash sighed secretly, it seems that he still has to return to the organization, otherwise the game will be too embarrassing.

Looking at Nash's unwilling expression, Ye Feng smiled and whispered to him: "Hmph, don't think too much, we're not weak!" ”
