Nash's defensive ability is known throughout the league, and while Nash won't really be a hole on the defensive end in some key moments, in normal games, Nash will definitely be an excellent target for some defenders in the league to choose to break through.

But this type of defender definitely does not include Blake.

After coming on the court, Blake, after receiving the pass, steadily dribbled the ball to the left side of the frontcourt, and then instructed his teammates to run according to the tactics.

Blake doesn't have the accurate prediction ability of Gong Feng, nor does he have the skillful passing and dribbling of Gong Feng's left and right hands, all Blake has is his strong observation ability and the ability to read the movements of his teammates.

When he saw Cook go around to defend Yao Ming, Blake knew what kind of tactical run Dio would launch, and when he saw Dio appear in the high post and prepare to receive the ball and transition to the in-cut Hill, Blake did not pass the ball at the first time, but after seeing Cotter's action, he made a feint, and directly used his best fast pass to pass it to Battier who was ready to block and dismantle with Blake, and after receiving the ball, Battier faced Yao Ming who appeared in the low post for the first time.

Battier will not miss such an opportunity and pass to Yao Ming as soon as possible, and Yao Ming, who received basketball at such a depth in the low post, will not care about Cotter's return defense.

Kurt raised his hand to indicate that this was his problem, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly, because Kurt ate Blake's simple pass feint, and at the moment of Blake's pass, he was ready to wrap Hill and sabotage the Knicks' offense this time.

Who knew that Blake suddenly passed beyond the three-point line and moved to catch the ball, and Battier had little scoring ability?

"Blake's ball pass is beautiful, according to his understanding of Cott, seize the most favorable passing opportunity, and did not even risk passing to Yao Ming, but chose the most secure Battier, it seems that Blake will also be included in the long-term improvement over the past year!" Gentry looked at Blake's pass and couldn't help but say beside Mir.

"Steady! This is what Gong Feng said! There's nothing wrong with it, but he can create the best opportunities for his teammates when they're strong, and while there's no creativity, that, combined with his three-point ability, is enough to put him in the league. Thibodeau also said on the sidelines, especially after seeing Blake delay Barbosa's catch.

"Before this game, we just let them play according to the rhythm of the usual game, and did not arrange any defensive tasks, but from the point that Blake delayed Barbossa, Blake has enough defensive judgment ability, although it is very difficult to defend Barbosa with Blake's ability, but looking at the way he defends sideways, it seems that he has confidence in his teammates."

"Although Barbosa was not fooled by this ball, but began to move the ball, but it was so whole by Blake, the Suns wanted to play their speed too hard, and once the players began to start one-on-one heads-up, the situation on the court was already in the hands of our Knicks, and Blake handled this very beautifully!"

"That's it! Don't boast! If I didn't know the good for him, do you think I'd let him play at this time? But according to the actual situation, we mostly say that we will keep him for two years, and he will inevitably leave after two years, but there is no love or anything, it is better to see if we can reach that deal! ”

At this moment, the two of them stopped talking, but the two sighed beside them, this is the reality that a league can develop rapidly, young players will inevitably make a choice in the pursuit of victory and money, and choose to stay in a winning team that has no future and money for themselves under the premise that the salary will not be guaranteed, and no young player will choose so.

After the start of the game, the Knicks' backcourt foursome began to delay the speed of their defensive players, although they did not follow the defense, but still tried to stand in front of the defenders, with backward steps, slowly reducing the pace to a range that the Knicks could accept.

Without Nash's passing and combing, the Suns couldn't help but fall into a one-man offense in the halfcourt, and in the five minutes that Blake played, the Knicks' strong half-court offensive rotation ability was most effectively reflected.

Although the Suns' outside three-pointers did not widen the score gap, it still made many fans remember the name Blake.

Seeing that his strong bench ability compared to other teams was blocked by a second-round pick that he opposed to the selection at the beginning, D'Antoni was really surprised in his heart, but it was not Blake's ability that surprised him, but the Knicks' use of tradition more thoroughly.

In the final analysis, Blake's ability is single, and his stability also needs the absolute support of his teammates, and the Knicks lineup with Yao Ming is indeed very stable, whether it is scoring or defense, but Yao Ming, a traditional offensive center under the basket, does need the support of his teammates.

But it's such a team, D'Antoni will not be afraid, as long as Xiao Si and Nash play, the current scene will naturally follow the rhythm of the Suns, D'Antoni is convinced of this.

It's just that the Suns, who have done so, have admitted that the overall strength of the Knicks is stronger than themselves, and the Knicks can still maintain the lead in the score when Gong Feng and even Jay are not on the court, which is enough to show this.

It's just that D'Antoni thought in his heart: "I already knew the toughness of the Knicks, this year after the rookies broke out in 03, although it does seem to be no different from the Knicks last season, but is it really so?" ”

Yes, the departure of Gerrard, Malone, and Cotter, and the decline in Hill's data this season are all reasons why many media are not optimistic about the Knicks defending the title, D'Antoni's heart, although Yao Ming has indeed made great progress, but the big center who has played more than 20 minutes in a season has improved, what role can it play?

And once it comes to the playoffs, once the Knicks' play is a little unstable, then whether they can continue to fight against the Pistons is a question mark, you must know that last season, if it wasn't for the well-rested Malone who had an absolute advantage over Rashid, it was a question mark whether the Knicks could win.

At the beginning of the season, all teams just treated the Knicks as a playoff team, which was a very clear sign that the Knicks' winning streak during this period did not really make the East a dominant situation.

These thoughts are buried deep in D'Antoni's mind, and what the Suns have to do is definitely not to think about the Knicks' playoff schedule, but to think about how far they can go this season.

It's just that D'Antoni or Blake are a little surprised that after Nash and other Suns main players played, the Knicks didn't make the slightest change to this, and even let Blake be the core bench of the organization, and they actually started to go head-to-head with Nash?

After Nash saw himself on the court, the Knicks bench didn't move in the slightest, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't say anything, but Nash's teammates did feel the anger in Nash's expression.

There are not many times that can make Nash angry, but on such occasions, in Gong Feng and others still have the strength to play, but they are not sent to play, this is where Nash needs to be angry, Nash, who is extremely satisfied with his teammates this season, is no longer thinking about what the playoff round is, and winning the position he deserves is what Nash wants, so after he got on the court, Nash began his own performance.

Blake is not useless in the face of such Nash, although he can not show a lot, especially the safe passing, Nash can also defend well, but at least under the high-speed rotation of the Suns, Blake's expressionless face is particularly prominent.

No matter how the Suns played, no matter how Nash broke in front of him, Blake handled all the ball with a rare amount of security at this age, and the running position after dribbling the ball to the halfcourt also surprised Nash, who defended him. (To be continued.) )
