Chapter 213: Battle of the Suns 1

The Knicks' home court is always a stadium that is not lacking in passion, after a few consecutive away games, the Knicks shut up everyone who thinks the Knicks will decline because of the trade, but this game still attracted a lot of attention, broadcast live in the United States, this game has also received a lot of attention in the country, previously, the Knicks rumored that the player change trade, the most famous is that the Knicks want to trade with the Suns and Venus,

The current Suns have a strong lineup, it stands to reason that now is a very prominent period for the Suns, as long as the Suns have a chance, they will definitely get a good championship opportunity, but even now or in the previous life, the Suns finally fell apart, the Suns have a long history, but they have never won a championship, in the history of the Suns, the most famous star is the big-mouthed Barkley, but even when Barkley is in the Suns, the Suns can't go to the height of the championship, Not to mention the sun that was playing small ball later, with a group of people such as Nash, Marion, and Xiaobawang, they didn't let the sun shine brightly.

The Suns have Marbury, Penny Hardaway, Marion, Stoudemire, etc., but the current Suns are not a team that is in place, if the Knicks have such a lineup, and now Van Gundy has been running in the Knicks for many years, the Knicks definitely have the strength to win the championship.

But the Suns are not the Knicks, and the Knicks don't have such a chance, but now the Knicks and the Suns are rumored to be a test for both sides, and the object of the transaction is the current Marbury and Knicks' star Houston, in fact, in the previous life, the Suns and the Knicks traded, but the deal was in 04, when the Suns were facing a bad state, and the deal turned out to be unsuccessful.

If this deal is successful now, the Knicks will definitely have the strength to move forward on the road to the championship, because of an uncertain factor, Liang Xiao, now the Knicks are on the quarterback, Liang Xiao has proved step by step that he has the ability to replace Houston, Houston is aging step by step, the Knicks are facing restructuring after Ewing, it seems that the transaction is also the Knicks are ruthless to change, the Knicks are now facing the lineup is too big a gap in the strength of the point guard and the inside, stopping the Knicks from moving further,

However, this game still has to be played, Liang Xiao is preparing for this game before the game, and the domestic court Wutai also attaches great importance to this game, because the Knicks' game is very popular in China, and now the Knicks and the Suns have a scandal in the transaction.

The game started soon, this game is a tough battle for the Knicks, whether it is personnel or strength, they all have the strength of a fight, the Suns have Marbury, Marion, Hardaway and this year's rookie Stoudemire, Marbury is a player of the golden generation of 96, there is absolutely no doubt about the ability, otherwise he would not have been selected with the fourth pick in 96, the Bucks were selected that year and then traded to the Timberwolves, Marbury and Garnett led the Timberwolves to the playoffs twice, but at that time, Marbury, who was very high-spirited, got the title of lone wolf, and after staying with the Nets for a short time, he swapped owners with Kidd to the current Suns.

Penny Hardaway is also a legend, with Jordan's successor ability, he has been tormented by injuries, and now he is also very unhappy with the Suns, the head coach is very unpopular with him, and he has very little playing time, this guy who used to be with the Magic and the big sharks can now only sink into an unimportant role, can only play the same character on the court, playing less than 30 minutes, and was able to go from playmaking guard to scoring guard to small forward in the past. Now the injury can only be affected by the moment, and in the previous life, he also came to the Knicks with Marbury.

Marion's ability is now rising, but it has not reached the peak of the time when he and Nash reached the peak later, the little bully Stoudemire is also in his rookie season, in his previous life, he beat Da Yao and Butler to get the best rookie of the season, and now it is also on the rise, it is precisely because of Marbury's reputation and Hardaway's injury, as well as the two rising stars, the Suns are not a neatly knitted team now, this season's game, although the Suns' strength in the West can enter the playoffs, But now it has been in an awkward situation in the strength ranking of the alliance.

"The game officially started, and now the Suns' lineup is Stoudemire at the center position, the rookie is performing very well in the New Year, averaging 18.5 points per game, 8.8 rebounds, the data is gorgeous, Marion at the big forward position, Hardaway at the small forward position, Joe Smith at the point guard, and Marbury at the point guard, such a lineup is very strong."

"Yes, look at the current Knicks' lineup can not be compared with the Suns, although the lineup cannot be compared, but there is definitely a certain ability to defeat the Suns, don't look at the Suns are now a luxury lineup, but there is still a lack of integration in strength."

"Coach Sun, now the trade rumors between the Knicks and the Suns are getting bigger and bigger, you see if it's the same as the American media said, Houston and Marbury will swap owners."

"I think there are still opportunities, it depends on whether the two teams really make up their minds, both teams want their own reinforcements, but I am more optimistic about the Knicks profiting from this trade."

Imperial Court Wutai was also very concerned about the transaction between the Knicks and the Suns before this game, and now the Knicks have Liang Xiao, they want the Knicks to be strong.

In the jump ball, the little bully directly overpowered Harrington to get the start of the game, after Marbury advanced to the front court, he didn't choose to play this ball for others, as the core of the Suns and Marbury now has a personality that likes to be alone, he started this first ball, obviously, in the point guard Easley is not comparable to Marbury, Marbury as a receiver, is very gorgeous on the dribble, the action is smooth, the most famous cross step is the use of perfection, Directly past Easley's inside impact, dodged Thomas's fill-in, and hit a layup,

Marbury's skills are very good, otherwise, he would not have become the target of Chinese fans in his previous life, because when Da Yao entered the league, his state was not very good, and when the Sun and the Rockets were in the game, when Marbury used his cross to face Da Yao, he used too much force to cause Da Yao to be shaken to the ground by Marbury, and the Sun's bench laughed, because of this, Marbury became a public enemy, but in the end Da Yao still proved his strength, gave a shot back to those who had laughed at him,

After the Knicks made a layup on Marbury's side, Houston, who is now a trade rumor, did not show weakness, facing Joe Smith with a quick stop shot, which seemed to be saying to the Knicks' senior management, my current state is in the prime of life, don't grasp the trade to others so easily, the current Joe Smith is also in the state of the Suns has not found the state, in the previous life, Joe Smith in the next few seasons is getting better and better, now his scoring average does not exceed ten points per game, and then it continues to rise, All of a sudden, it was about 17 points, and in the face of a league veteran like Houston, he didn't have the strength to compete.

In the next few rounds, the Suns continued to use the inside line to impact the Knicks' lineup on their side, but the Knicks really wanted to limit the Suns in the positional war, but the Knicks' idea was good, but in the process of implementation, the effect of the restriction was not great, although the Sun's interior line was strong, but it did not exist as a positional war, the Sun's interior Marion is not a good positional war, and he can show his value more in the sports war. But as long as he moves, the effect is different, the hacker has the same throwing, plus a slam dunk, and what is even more incredible is that there are three points, these three sharp weapons make the Knicks suffer,

Xiaobawang's singles ability on the inside line is strong, and it is also strong in sports, 45 degrees of cuts, slam dunks and layups after receiving the ball, are all nightmares for the Knicks inside, which makes Harrington, a long man, helpless, not to mention physical fitness, but that impact, Harrington can't be compared with Xiaobawang, no wonder he can beat Butler and Da Yao in his previous life to get the title of best rookie,

But fortunately, on the Knicks' side, the Knicks performed well with two guns, and the most unexpected thing was that Houston's state in this game was explosive, I don't know whether it was stimulated by trade rumors, wanting to prove himself, or facing the weak Joe Smith, the score was very easy, no matter what, Houston broke out, and the battle between the madman and the penny Hardaway in the small forward position was also unusually eye-catching, the madman's ability is undoubted, and the impact of the penny and the incredible breakthrough also brought people great ornamentationIn the last three minutes of the first quarter of the game, the Knicks still lost, because the Suns were strong and had an impact on the Knicks, and the Knicks were Houston's outburst stabilized.

Van Gundy replaced Liang Xiao and had to be replaced, Marbury's ability was too strong, and the guy who was selected as an All-Star in 2001 had to let Liang Xiao, who has been in good shape and ability, replace him, and the Knicks had 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, trailing by 3 points,
