177 Unbeatable matches
"Smack!" But it was Xiao Si of the Suns team who was superior after all, and slapped the basketball down at the last moment when his body was in the air, and hit the place where the Suns players were more dense.
The landing point of the basketball was not so suitable, and Nash and they didn't have time to feel it for a while, but fortunately, at this time, Zhang Chen took the first step near the landing point of the basketball, and the person slapped the basketball back in the air.
"Attack!"
It was quickly running out near the center circle, and the basketball was downstairs, and the man was already rushing towards the half court like a whirlwind. The Suns ran back after that.
Vujacic is serious now, but at the same time a little overwhelmed, for a player like him who has been on the bench for many years, the opportunity to start is a certain glory, but on the other hand, it is more of a spur. They are worried that their starters will be bad, so they are also very cautious about how they handle basketball.
He still remembers Zhang Chen more clearly, the first time he played against the Lakers, he was blown up by Zhang Chen, although he also had a little parrying ability, but he was still made unable to raise his head.
Today, as a starter, he naturally can't show his cowardice in front of Zhang Chen, he made up his mind to attack and defend seriously, so that Zhang Chen will suffer a little loss.
The ball just now, he was also running towards the basketball, but Zhang Chen still saved the basketball one step ahead of him, and Vujacic immediately entered the state, he faced a very cunning opponent.
It was a whirlwind and immediately came to the top of the opponent's three-point line arc, and the passing direction of Zhang Chen's save was still very good, just between the big teams, and the Lakers reviewed it in a hurry for a while, but it was too late.
Xiao Si cut directly into the inside line from the right side of the basket, and the two old partners who have worked together for many years are still looking back at the moment with full tacit understanding, and the Suns' first goal is a heart-wrenching air relay!
"Amare ...... Invincibility! ”
"Steve!"
“beat-la!” With the roar of the goal and the trembling of the basket under Xiao Si's strength, the audience roared with the admiration of the two superstars. All of a sudden, the audience roared like a forest, and the chaotic sound hit people's eardrums.
Although the Lakers don't have Kobe, the speed of their offense is not small at all, and the Lakers' starting point guard is still the old fish Fisher who has always been with Kobe in the Lakers. Lao Yu now held his huge head and used his rich experience to get through the half, facing Nash and starting to direct the offense with a slightly shorter arm.
In Bryant's absence, their triangle offense is missing a crucial corner, and the Suns' defensive strategy is to shrink the defense while putting their defensive focus on the interior.
Sure enough, Lao Yu could only pass the basketball to Gasol on the inside in the end. When Kobe Bryant was there, he didn't need to be too careless about his passing target, but now that Kobe is not there, his passing target is worth thinking about.
The basketball came to Gasol's hands, Gasol shot a feint to shake off Xiao Si to force Marion to pounce on the defense, Gasol took advantage of this little opportunity, using his body that used to play guard and good passing skills, to obediently send the basketball to Odom's hands. Odom slid more than a meter away, but his layup between the falls flew into the basket crookedly.
The teams of the two sides played the first and third in the West at the beginning, and the two combinations were dazzling.
Vujacic knew that although he was standing in the starting position, he couldn't actually get too much of the ball, so he put his mind on defending Zhang Chen, and he knew that this was a very slippery guy.
Without a strong defensive player like Kobe Bryant on the outside, the Suns also put their offensive focus on the outside line under the instruction of D'Antoni. Therefore, Zhang Chen will have more opportunities.
Nash may have the intention to let Zhang Chen show off his strength in front of Vujasic, and directly passed the basketball to Zhang Chendi's hands, and did not wait for him to finish running before passing the ball, and then Nash motioned for everyone to pull away, seemingly preparing to let Zhang Chen attack alone.
Zhang Chen saw that this messenger was put on him, but he didn't shirk it, and took over the basketball.
Vujacic is often a busy man, he has a good defensive positive surname, but unfortunately he does not have the defensive awareness and defensive skills to match. His lateral movement is quite slow, and a defender who is a little stronger or faster can get past him.
It's just that Zhang Chen's speed can't reach the level of faster now, and he has only two ways to solve Vujasic, either to pull out the jump shot directly, or to let someone come out to help him block Vujasic.
Zhang Chen chose the latter, he glanced at Bell, Bell quickly understood, walked over and blocked Vujasic's side, Zhang Chen took advantage of this gap to quickly force the right wing of the three-point line about forty-five degrees, cut in.
Lama Odom quickly rushed over to make up for the defense, Zhang Chen is still impossible to enter the inner line now, although their inner line also has a short gap, but Zhang Chen's current speed is not enough to retreat in the inner line.
Therefore, in the face of Odom who pounced, Zhang Chen didn't think about it, and immediately made a backward jumper after a step-back step, ending the attack. Odom was not much taller than Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen's step-back step-back jumper made him helpless.
The basketball slid into the net, and the Suns were once again cooperating with the offense, and the crowd became even louder: "Beat-la! ”
Zhang Chen scored the first two points of the game.
Some Kobe fans who came to watch the game suddenly had some doubts, feeling as if the Lakers' No. 24 had changed to a No. 6 earth suit and lurked in the Suns. Yes, Zhang Chen's jump shot is much less technical than Kobe's jump shot, Kobe's jump shot is often throwing himself in the air and then looking for a jump shot opportunity, which is quite demanding on his abdominal muscles and waist strength and empty space.
Zhang Chen's jump shot is much simpler, but it is also very beautiful, and both of them are backward jump shots, which looks like a little god.
Sun Dasheng sat on the bench, looking at Zhang Chen, who had just hit a jump shot on the basketball court and was shaking his meritorious right hand to retreat to the half court, and was a little dreamy for a while.
Kobe Bryant was injured recently, and he finally got a chance to return to the Lakers, but his chances are still limited. Looking at the young man who danced lightly and flew brightly, he couldn't help but be fascinated: this player who is not quite a well-established player, and a player who entered the league without a draft, has now achieved achievements that many people need to look up to with their careers.
The ball was back in the hands of the Lakers, and they once again passed the basketball to the inside, to Odom, who was sometimes quite reliable and sometimes unreliable.
The Suns practice a way of shrinking the defense on the inside, easily not leaving a way for the opponent to break through, and at the same time loosening the defense on the outside. Therefore, Odom had no choice but to fight hard with his body and technique near the free throw line.
The Suns' defensive execution wasn't too strong, but it was a success to block Odom's ball.
The basketball flew out and the Suns completed a successful defense, but before the crowd could cheer, the rebound was tightly hugged by Gasol with his long arms, and then he dodged the impatient jumping defense of the Smalls with a low head, and then he hit a layup of his own.
The ball also gave the Lakers one more rebound, and they were both a little embarrassed.
Re-transitioning offense and defense, the Suns were ready to focus on the perimeter today, and the basketball flew out of Nash's hands with a shaky flight, but it flew into the basket from outside the three-point line with great precision.
Today, the Lakers' guard line is really a little dangerous, Fisher can't guard Nash, Nash has height and crosshairs in front of him, so he will naturally not be afraid of him. And Zhang Chen naturally did not have any pressure in front of Vujasic.
In the new offense, the Lakers finally had a problem, and the Suns seized the opportunity to conduct a fast break, and finally the hacker Marion ended the offense with a calm face hanging on the basket.
"Bang ......" the Lakers' new offense was cut off because of the passing route, and the offensive time was not enough so it had to be passed to the hands of Vujacic on the outside, and Vujacic was successfully interfered with by Zhang Chen when he made a jumper, and the basketball flew out, and the Suns had another chance to break quickly.
Fortunately, the rebound flew to a deeper place, so the Lakers had plenty of time to get back to defense, but their defense was a bit hasty after all, and Xiao Si caught the gap and shot.
The Lakers quickly fell into the abyss of offense, and their next shot was quite evil, and the basketball was about to make a layup, and then they actually spun around the edge of the hoop and rolled out.
The Suns are another fast break~~ The Lakers were beaten out of a wave of small **.
The Lakers are a little anxious, especially Gasol, although this person is usually jokingly called his sister-in-law, but a person who works hard in a league like the NBA, it is impossible to have no blood at all.
He also wants to prove that the Lakers' smooth sailing record over this period of time is a joint credit to himself and Kobe, so he can't let the team hit the street while Kobe is away.
This time, he started asking for the ball from Fisher.
Fisher naturally passed the ball without objection, Gasol can be used as a point guard on the inside, and his layup skills and various center feet are also quite good, but he is a good candidate for passing. Gasol then began to fight on the inside again and again, and finally he relied on his own pair of long arms to shoot the basket, and at the same time he was beaten out of the sideline by Xiao Si, winning the sympathy of the referee and allowing him to get a free throw.
Xiao Si kept muttering to the side and waiting for Gasol's free throws, Gasol's free throws were quite stable, and in the gentle fluttering of the net, he had successfully completed a 2+1, and the morale of the Lakers was re-boosted.
"Big Spanish man!"
"Good shot!"
Several Lakers fans who were mixed in the crowd waved their flags and shouted their voices hard. However, their voices soon exposed all their identities and beliefs, and soon fell into the vast sea of the people's war, which was strongly despised by Suns fans from all directions.
“beat-la!” After despying the anachronistic guys, Suns fans are back playing the banner.
The Suns still handed over to the outside offense this time, but this time the Suns' outside offense finally had a little problem, and Bell's shot was slapped down. The basketball reached Fisher, who rarely tasted rebounding, and Fisher immediately rushed towards the half court, and the lama also galloped behind him.
It was completely too late for a return visit, Odom hit a strong dunk, and the Lakers instantly hit a 5:0 small **, and the difference between the two sides was chased back.
D'Antoni quickly called a timeout.
They can't afford to lose this game.
The Suns are currently No. 1 in the West, but they still hold an embarrassing record of being swept by the Lakers so far this season, and they are a little embarrassed on the outside. Kobe Bryant, the absolute superstar of the Lakers, did not show up today, and if the Suns still lose this kind of game, they had better buy a piece of tofu to cut themselves off from the people.
D'Antoni saw that the situation of Fairy Ah was not good, and the Lakers were in an orderly manner under the support of Gasol on the inside, and the offense and defense were self-contained, becoming a difficult bone to gnaw, and he immediately called the players back.
"Guys, something is wrong...... It didn't go the way we expected, we should have been more aggressive and consistent in attack and we had to focus on every ball. When defending, try to suppress their big man......" D'Antoni began to make gestures on the tactical board, and the timeout passed quickly.
"That's it! That's it! Our main offensive line is still on the outside. Let's play! D'Antoni said heavily, and the players stepped onto the pitch again.
Maybe it's because of the change that D'Antoni just brought about with his beautiful explanation, but the Suns regained their sense after the timeout, first Silly Jr. hit an outside jumper, and then, Bell also hit a mid-range shot, and the Suns fired.
It's just that the Lakers' offense is just as ferocious, and their interior twin towers frequently hit the Suns' precarious interior line. Xiao Si's defensive awareness and defensive skills are just like that, even if their defensive enthusiasm is improved, they can't resist the opponent's surging offensive at this time.
So, when Bell hit one of two free throws, the Suns trailed the Lakers by one point.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the audience, they didn't expect the Suns to be overtaken by their opponents in this situation.
"Bang!" The Lakers didn't miss the opportunity to beat the Reservoir Dogs, and Gasol once again called for the Suns' interior to make a comeback, and he made an inelegant but effective one-handed dunk to give the Lakers a three-point lead.
“**! We were led by a Lakers team without Kobe...... Can anyone tell me what they're doing? A viewer said dissatisfied.
"Maybe there's something wrong with our attack...... Let's wait and see what happens...... Didn't you notice that we had a player today who just had a pitiful shot? His companion said.
The audience member also thought for a moment: "What are you talking about? ”
"Yes......" his companion nodded, then pointed to the basketball court and said, "Look, he's got the basketball back." ”
Nash passed the basketball to Zhang Chen, the offensive and defensive transitions of the ball just now were quite intense, Zhang Chen himself was not too exposed, Nash did not pass the ball to him for a while, and now seeing that he stood in a favorable position again, he immediately passed the basketball out.
Nash is very relieved about Zhang Chen, and he also feels that now Zhang Chen is a blockbuster, which should allow the Suns to tie the score, and now they are just three points behind, and Zhang Chen can solve it with a three-point shot.
When Zhang Chen received the pass, the right side of his body was facing Vujasic, and Vujacic saw that Zhang Chen received the ball seven up and eight times. For a player like him, he was a little afraid of letting Zhang Chen receive a pass, because he knew that this guy could score with a less difficult means on his head after being abused by Zhang Chen a few times.
Therefore, seeing Zhang Chen receiving the ball, Vujacic also had a headache, so he could only go up hard, and it was one of his advantages to defend actively, although he was often busy, but he was indeed often busy.
Zhang Chen originally used his right side to face Vujasic, but when he saw him open his hands, he suddenly used a big backward sliding step to withdraw his right leg back a big step, and then his body was already lowered, and the basketball immediately came to the right side of his body, facing Vujasic.
Wu Jia Xiqi was all soldiers, but he didn't know what Zhang Chen wanted to do, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
However, Zhang Chen soon got up suddenly in Vujasic, his heels off the ground, and it looked like he was about to jump shot.
Vujacic understood Zhang Chen's original idea of making a jump shot, and immediately put away the overwhelmed mind just now, jumped up, and prepared to block.
Zhang Chen retracted his shooting feint at this moment, and then his body quickly moved sideways, coming to a few angles to the right of the position he had just placed. Vujacic had just jumped quite strongly, and now he had no spare strength and speed to defend Zhang Chen.
He was originally not moving sideways, but now that he was shaken by Zhang Chen like this, he naturally had no spare strength.
Vujasic's defensive attitude is good, and his poor defensive skills lead to him often being deceived by his opponent's feints like an S.B, and the same is true for this ball, Zhang Chen faces the empty front and jumps unhurriedly.
The basketball slid through a brilliant arc and reached its destination, startling a white net.
Zhang Chen only made one shot, so that the somewhat irrepressible scoring disadvantage was quickly chased back, and the two sides stood on a starting line again.
