The Eagles' offense was changed because of Boris Dior, D'Antoni called a timeout, simply asked Marion to limit the Frenchman, and also asked Nash to follow the Eagles' ball-controlled guards, symbolically telling Stoudemire to help defend more, as for the effect...... Only God knows.

Back on the court, Nash took control of the ball and slipped out with Marion's block, and then suddenly hit a mid-range shot that stepped on the line, which stabilized the situation, and it was time for the Hawks to attack again.

The DJ at the American Airlines Center sounded a few warnings, which prompted a chorus of "Defend" from the Phoenix home fans.

This time, Dior did not pull out to make a high block for Van Exel, who was in possession of the ball, but squeezed into the low post inside to hold the position. Although the hacker is a talented defender of the long-armed monster type, he is really helpless to be asked by Dio to occupy a position when he is inferior in height and weight.

At the same time that Dio received a pass from Van Exel, Josh had already begun to cut into the air, and Richardson did not dare to slack off and followed, and the Suns players, even if they were poor defensively, knew that interrupting the Hawks' scoring rhythm was the most important thing at the moment.

D'Antoni stood on the sidelines waiting for where the basketball in Dior's hand would develop, this big man made his eyes shine, the Suns' interior line is indeed enviable, but it is not a big man who can be a shaft on the inside, Marion prefers to float on the outside, and Xiao Si is even more out of the low post, and the empty cut is the majority of his attack.

And the next moment, Dior showed the singles skills he needs to have to play the inside label, he first dribbled back, and then turned around to make a layup, Marion was stuck in his position and couldn't get up, but the Suns had another spring man on the inside, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, Xiao Si had jumped high, like a big dark cloud.

But the ball in Dior's hand is gone, the left 45-degree angle, originally Josh Smith's position, Van Exel has already been in place, taking advantage of Smith's air cut and running back to block and dismantle, Fan Maniac bypassed Nash's follow-up defense and calmly received the ball!

"Huh!" , another three-point hollow sound.

The Frenchman's height and excellent vision pair make the Eagles energetic, and the Eagles' off-ball runs have shown Thibodeau's tune. Teaching ability, with people who can pass the ball well, you also need to have the opportunity to pass the ball.

Jiang Qi exhaled a long breath, and in Xue Bing's opinion, it was like a big stone had really landed in his heart.

"What's wrong?"

"I was worried that the team would keep losing."

Xue Bing glanced back at the screen, "Can you win this game?" ”

"Can't win." , Lao Jiang shook his head, "If you can't limit the Suns' offense, you can't win, but this change will bring confidence to the team, think about it, if you come to do something, but you can't find a smooth direction to do it, what will be the result in the long run?" ”

"You're saying that even a loss in this game will give the players confidence back?"

"Yes, because it's hard for them to attack anymore."

"Didn't you play him in the previous games?" Although Xue Bing was able to gain something through observation, he did not pay attention to the competition itself.

"Dior has played before, but never been at the heart of the team's functioning like he did today, and it didn't merge with the team's overall movement, and he didn't run into a suitable opponent like the Suns."

"The opponent's defense is not good?"

"Well, there is this reason, but there are not many teams in the league that have a solid defensive system, and they are all teams that can compete for the championship, even if they lose, it is determined by the difference in strength, but those teams that are not strong enough, relying on the stars to beat us alone will frustrate the confidence of the players, they are all a group of young people, the impact of a long loss is very bad, I don't want them to feel that Atalanta is a hopeless place, so it won't be long before the players themselves lose their fighting spirit."

He paused, "Only by striving to cross the threshold of the playoffs, only by fighting until the end of the season, and waiting until two or three catalyst players are added next season, will the team as a whole be upgraded to the next level, otherwise even if it has the strength to compete for the championship, but the players have not experienced the grinding, I am afraid it will be difficult for the team to make a difference." ”

In Jiang Qi's planning, the goal that the regular season team needs to achieve is to have the vigor of young people, the foundation of iron-blooded defense, and the determination to fight to the end, even if they can't make the playoffs, they must hover around that line, rather than completely messing around from players to teams......

But as he predicted, the Suns' offense can't be beaten without stopping them.

Dio had to sit on the bench after the first quarter to recuperate, Thibodeau left Crawford on the court, and Iguodala came on to watch the Brazilian lightning Balbosa who replaced Nash with the Suns' tempo, Matt Barnes to mark Joe Johnson, and Al Jefferson to partner Chris Anderson on the inside.

This lineup is more about the rhythm of the competition, Jefferson mainly attacks the success rate of the low post, has Crawford on the outside, has Iguodala in the air, and as for Barnes, now his three-point shot is as agile as Duan Yu's six-vein sword, and locking up Joe Johnson's firepower on the court is the most important thing.

The collision of the two sides in the second quarter and a half rotation lineups originally had a slight advantage for the Hawks, and Iguodala, who did not start, put all his energy on Balbosa, pestering the Brazilians to plummet, but Joe Johnson hit the ball with a few strong shots, and Jefferson showed his improved speed in the face of Hunter, and calmly hit several low-post singles.

When D'Antoni shook his head in desperation, he had to let Nash and Smalls get back on the court.

In this Suns team, no one can replace Nash's position, and the Suns team with Nash can be regarded as having a soul, a storm of speeding up and bombardment, so that Thibodeau, who wants to play the rhythm card, is completely defeated, Jefferson singles Hunter but also has to beware of Xiaosi's defensive blocking, and as long as the shot does not go in, the Suns' fast break will be delivered to their own basket in a blink of an eye, which makes the Hawks quickly turn into a disadvantage.

Thibodeau was also helpless, so he had to replace Dior again and let Van Exel replace Crawford to rest.

It's just that there is only one of the two attack points on the outside, and Barnes in the third position is still a pure defensive giant, which makes Dio a little depressed, and the main thing is that Hunter has tonnage and fierce defensive movements, which is more difficult to deal with than Marion......

The Frenchman tried his opponent's strength after the inside position, then threw the ball to the outside and ran out himself, using the mid-range shot to pull the inside line and barely support the team's attack.

But it still couldn't stop the Suns from pulling the score apart......

But at this time, there was a sudden accident on the field!

Originally, Nash was the veteran Van Exel to mark, but after the middle block, Iguodala came to change the Canadian, Nash shook his defense with a high-frequency center of gravity, and wanted to break through directly from the outside, but Iguodala subconsciously stretched his foot...... Immediately afterwards, something that worried the audience at the American Airlines Center happened right in front of him, Nash covered his knee with his hand after falling to the ground, although the Suns team doctor who should have hung the pennant in the league rushed up to do emergency treatment, but in the end Nash still did not stand on the court without health, and was carried by the staff to the locker room.

Jiang Qi put the empty black tea cup on the coffee table, "The game is over." ”
