The Nets lost to the Suns at home and wanted to prove their strength on the road.

The two teams only played twice in a season, and if they lost again this time, Wang Jun was swept in the season.

The Suns played a great game at Madison Square Garden last time, with the starting four scoring 20+, not counting Nash. Beat the Knicks 133-118 in regulation time.

No one doubts the Suns' offensive power. Before the game even started, the media advertised that the Suns would slaughter the Nets at home.

Stodameyer has been crazy this season, averaging 26 points, 9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.6 blocks per game and only playing 36 minutes.

His offensive efficiency has put many of the top scorers to shame, and he scored a career-high 50 points against the Trail Blazers on January 2, 2005.

Nash and Small's blocking is so sharp that it's almost impossible to guard against, and Smalls is likely to become the scoring champion if he plays more minutes.

Wang Jun also leads the scoring list, averaging 29.2 points per game, but when he plays an average of 41.7 minutes per game, his efficiency is not as good as Xiao Si.

Nash performed more eye-catching, averaging 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 11.5 assists and 1 steal per game, revitalizing the team's offense and leading the assist list.

Scoring efficiency is high, it is easier to help the team win than scoring more, if you just score more points and the shooting percentage is low, such a player is likely to be a cancer.

is more typical of Starkerhouse, who almost averaged 30+ per game at his peak, but his shooting percentage was barely forty percent, and once he left the Pistons and lost the ball, he could only be reduced to a substitute.

On the 25th, Nash invited a few teammates to dinner and talked about tomorrow's game.

Nash quickly established himself as a central player as soon as he arrived on the Suns. More like the boss than Xiao Si and Marion. Those two could only score on their own, and they couldn't lead the whole team.

Nash smiled after toasting: "Kidd, Wang Jun are back, plus Carter, the Nets are not as easy to deal with as in the first game, they are also a strong offensive team, everyone must not underestimate the enemy." ”

Stadamyre is confident: "There's no way they're going to be able to hold off our pick-and-rolls. We will win! ”

"That's right, give them some color." Marion is also relaxed.

Nash sighed: "Sure enough, it's still a light enemy, it's been easy to win recently, and you can't help but put the defending champion in your eyes?" ”

Xiao Si smiled: "Don't worry, we won't relax, pass me more, the inside line of the Nets is nothing big." ”

Nash turned his head and said, "Joe, I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"I do my best." Joe Johnson said it was very plain, but in fact he was scrappy.

He's low-key. has strength, no ball possession, and is only a four-man in the team. It makes him feel uncomfortable, but he doesn't speak of depression.

He is very willing to compete with Wang Jun and wants to prove his worth in this way.

He thinks that the two play in a similar way, both of them have average physical fitness, good strength, and can shoot the basketball. He felt that he was better than Wang Jun. Because his passing awareness is outstanding.

Nash added: "I'm probably going to shoot a few more shots tomorrow, so let's be careful and grab the rebounds." I want to prove that I'm better than Kidd. ”

Xiao Si picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that you are stronger than Kidd, do you still need proof?" ”

"We only succeed when we win the championship, and no matter how good we play in the regular season, it's only the regular season, and I've experienced it too many times when I was a Maverick. Kidd now has a ring. ”

Nash is not jealous of Kidd's skills, but admires his record. Reaching the finals for three consecutive years is not something that ordinary people can do. He aspires to a championship and wants to surpass Kidd to become the best point guard.

Coincidentally, Kidd also invited a few of his teammates to dinner today, saying that he would win everything in this game. Fight for it as a playoff game.

In the face of star point guard statistics, Kidd is very faceless. He just lost to Billups, Terry, and Bibby not long ago, and he doesn't want to lose to Nash again.

Kidd is self-aware, now looking for pick-and-rolls to break through, looking for opportunities to shoot threes from the perimeter, he's not as fast as he used to be, but he doesn't feel old.

The match was broadcast live on TNT Radio.

Kenny? "This season's Suns have been one of the most pleasing teams in NBA history," Smith said. In head coach D'Antoni's offensive system of no more than 7 seconds, under the leadership of MVP point guard Steve Nash, future rising stars Joe Johnson and Amalestad Meyre are gradually emerging, with Marion who can fly and shoot from a distance on the wings, Barbossa who is as fast as lightning, and stable three-point players Quentin Richardson and Jimmy Jackson, no one seems to be able to stop their offense. ”

Barkley laughed: "It's a pity that their defense is very poor, they rely too much on small-ball tactics, and I don't expect them to beat the Spurs in the playoffs." ”

"Why aren't you optimistic about the sun?" Smith smiled and asked, "Did you deliberately go against me?" ”

Barkley shook his head. "No, I'm optimistic, but if you want to win the championship, you have to defend. The Suns didn't invent the small-ball tactic, and the Nets relied on this for their first two Finals appearances. They don't have the same offense as the Suns now, but they defend better, which is key. ”

During the warm-up, Kidd greeted Nash, saluted first and then soldiered, ready to compete.

Both are super point guards, and there is a big gap between the temperaments of the two.

Kidd has a fierce appearance, and his big bald head is a bit of a bandit; Nash has long flowing hair and glasses that look a bit like a scholar.

Looking at the image, Kidd is definitely stronger, but Nash proves what makes a person unseemly, and he is better at attacking than Kidd.

Nets starters: Kidd, Wang Jun, Carter, Kostic, Collins.

Suns starters: Nash, Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson, Marion, Stoudamire.

Stadamire won with a jump ball and the Suns attacked first.

Nash received the ball, went to the right side of the front court 60 degrees and Xiaosi blocked, Collins immediately changed the defense, which was arranged by the coach, and Nash must not be allowed to shoot easily.

Nash drew the defense and moved sideways, hitting the ground and passing the ball to the empty cut.

Carter didn't have a card and chased Nash. Xiao Si took a step to jump up after receiving the ball and scored with one hand. 0 to 2.

Kostic, who was making up for the defense, didn't dare to reach out. Chinese fans nicknamed Stoudamire "Little Overlord", and the dunk was really domineering.

Smith laughed: "Amare is becoming a superstar this season, and his dunk reminds me of Rain Man Kemp. ”

Barkley said: "The Nets' joint defense was broken at the beginning, and against the Suns, I think it would be more appropriate to use man-to-man. ”

The Nets attacked, and Kidd took it to the frontcourt and gave it to Carter.

Carter and Kostic blocked Richardson in the middle and broke down the left to attract Marion to switch.

The Suns are an absolute small-ball tactic, Xiao Si plays center, and the big forward Marion is only 201CM tall, they lack height and are afraid of the team that can attack inside, and the Nets are obviously not among them.

After coming to the Nets, Carter shared a lot of possession, and the task of attacking with the ball fell on his shoulders.

Being in charge of the ball is not necessarily a good thing, and he has been marked by the Suns' best defenders.

Carter didn't dare to hold it up when he met Marion, and he couldn't break through and pass it to Kidd on the periphery.

Kidd had his back to Nash to observe, and on the right Wang Jun dodged Joe Johnson under Collins' cover, and Kidd passed the ball.

Marion was led away by Carter, and after the misplacement, Wang Jun faced Xiao Si, who was not good at defense. (To be continued.) )
