When it comes to running and shooting, fast attack, anyone who has watched the game in recent years, the first name that comes to mind is the sun.

When Dantoni returned from a few years in Europe, he immediately caused a whirlwind in the league.

With Steve Nash, the son of the wind who was kicked out of Dallas, the selected little bully Amare Stoudemire, plus French all-round forward Buris Dio, league defensive guru Raja Bale, hacker Sean Marion, and Brazilian lightning Barbosa, they immediately became famous in the league, and Steve Nash, the core of the team, won the MVP award in the regular season for two consecutive years.

Although he did not complete the great feat of three consecutive championships, the Canadian has planted a seed of legend about him in the hearts of Americans, when the Suns were known as the league wolves, invincible in the regular season, but every time they played the playoffs began to weaken, as they fell under the iron hooves of the Spurs again in 07, the original Suns running dynasty fell apart, with Marion being traded, in exchange for O'Neal, the Suns officially entered the pace of reconstruction.

Although O'Neal made the All-Star last year, the Suns did not make the playoffs, and the Suns' uniform team understood.

O'Neal wasn't the player they needed either, so this summer, when the Cavaliers made an offer to the Suns.

The Suns agreed without much thought and let O'Neal go to Cleveland and James formed the current 'Sharks' group.

And now the Suns compared with last season, not retreating, but advancing, the rookies in the team have grown up, can hold up a sky on the Suns' inside, Channing Frye, who was quite depressed in the Knicks last season, came to the Suns like a fish in water, shooting three-pointers inside, which is very important under the offensive system of the Suns.

The current Suns, the offense must be much worse than at the beginning, the old courtiers are now only Nash, Xiaosi and Barbossa, everyone else has left, Marion is now staying in the Mavericks to play defense, Bale and Dio went to the Bobcats, obviously Dio has a good life in the Bobcats, and the defensive titan Raga Bell is more miserable.

Just like offense, Larry Brown is about team offense, and defense is team defense, and he doesn't need any arrowheads in his team, whether it's offensive or defensive, Raga Bell is not an offensive arrowhead, he's a defensive arrowhead, and such a figure should not be reused in the Bobcats.

Although the offense is not as terrifying as it was at the beginning, the bench depth and rotation lineup in the team are more than a notch stronger than the original Suns, and now Dantony is trying to build the Knicks into the next Suns, and the Suns are moving in a new direction, and today they will face the challenge of the Pacers who have just turned to a run-and-run at home.

Speaking of running and shooting, the Suns are naturally the originators of the league, and no matter how the Pacers play, they have a clear advantage from the start.

The Suns' starting lineup today, the center is this year's rookie, the younger brother of Brook Lopez, the core of the Nets, Robin Lopez, although he is not as talented as his brother, but he also plays well, has a good movement speed, defensive intentions, plus the offensive end is also okay, has the advantage of height, can help the Suns grab rebounds, which is enough.

Because the Suns are not the Nets, they don't need a particularly good offensive player to steal the ball on their team.

The remaining four players are all former All-Star players, big forward and small bully Amare Stoudemire, today he is the team's main point of attack, because the Pacers' interior line is too poor, especially Thomas in the fourth position, height is not superior, weight is not superior, his only strength is his own jumping, but compared to bounce, Xiao Si is obviously better.

The small forward is the former savior of the Pistons, the glass man, and the most well-rounded player in the NBA who was Jordan's successor, Grant Hill.

The point guard is the former two-time dunk king, Jason Richardson who is omnipresent in offense, and the point guard is naturally Nash.

In addition to them, the Suns also have a lot of fresh players on the bench, Dudley, Channing Frye, Louis Armondson and so on, and before the start of this game, the Suns were in fifth place in the West, only half a game ahead of the Thunder.

Facing the Pacers, who are now short of major generals, it is a good time for them to consolidate their advantage, although the Suns and the Pacers play the offensive card, but the score on the court is not very high, relying on the cooperation between Zhang Kong and Granger.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers trailed the home team by just one point at 28-29 and didn't fall too far behind.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Gentry, the head coach of the Suns, first changed the formation, from the beginning of the coreless running and bombing, and instantly became the main inside, if the first quarter was just a trial, then the second quarter of the Suns has already shown their sharp fangs!

In the second quarter of the game, Stoudemire became the focus of the court, Tyrus Thomas on the Pacers' side was not his opponent at all, and in the case of being beaten up on the defensive end, the Pacers' interior line on the offensive end could not open the situation, although the score was not opened by Zhang Kong and Granger's offense, but the Suns had clearly taken the initiative on the court.

With one minute and eleven seconds left in the second quarter, the Suns pulled five people to the outside, this is the Suns' super offensive tactics, five people outside! The only one who was standing on the inside was Xiao Si, who also pulled near the free throw line, and the other four people all pulled away beyond the three-point line, the Pacers didn't dare to let Hibbert follow out to defend Channing Fry, so they could only let Thomas defend Channing Fry, and let Hibbert watch Xiao Si on the inside, because Nash on this side did not go down, and Zhang Kong was also staring at each other on the court.

Nash's strength does not lie in how sharp his offense is, but in his overall surname and experience, with a simple change of direction, he rushed directly to the defensive combination of Thomas and Zhang Kong, this ball Zhang Kong naturally has to be supplemented, and Thomas finally got the position of the main force, so he and Zhang Kong are ready to wrap Nash.

But Nash's speed was so easily limited to the bag, and when he saw Thomas coming, he had already turned away with a sideways.

"Defend Fry!" Seeing Nash's movements, Zhang Kong shouted loudly, and when he heard Zhang Kong's words, Thomas was stunned for a moment.

It was the incongruity of the combination, and in his moment's moment, Nash had already handed the ball to his left hand, then gently circled his back, and passed the ball to Frye, who was already waiting there...... Because Thomas was half a beat slower, Frye was very relaxed when he received the ball, and with a slight jump, he sent the basketball into the basket.

"Who's special!" Zhang Kong couldn't help but curse secretly when he saw that the ball had scored, but it made Frye, who happened to pass by him, listen to it really.

He was in a good mood when he had just scored, and when he heard Zhang Kong's words, he thought that Zhang Kong was scolding him, and his face immediately became unsightly.

But Frye is a man who is shady and shady, and he will never pounce on him when he hears trash talk, which is not his style.

But he has already hated Zhang Kong in his heart, in fact, he has long hated Zhang Kong, but Zhang Kong's current sentence is special, and the nameless fire in his heart is hooked up again, and then when the Sun's Stoudemire is one-on-one again, he easily dunked the ball in, this is the strength of the little overlord, and finally with this wave of 5-0 small **.

The Suns led the Pacers 63-57 in the second quarter into the second half, six points are not without chances, but the first thing they need to solve is the problem of the interior, in the first half, Xiaosi has cut nearly 20 points on the inside, and now he has a total of 17 points and 3 rebounds, his offense on the inside, so that the interior players on the Pacers' side are simply at a loss.

Tyrus Thomas, who played for the Bulls and had a good defense, was beaten by Xiao Si in this game and had no chance at all! Looking at the situation on the court, the Pacers' Jim O'Brien couldn't help but be confused, and he didn't know how to play now.

Back in the dressing room, all the players were taking time to rest, they were so tired.

Running and bombing has great physical requirements, although the physical requirements on the defensive end have been transferred to the offensive end, but the habit is not so easy to change, plus they have played four away games in a row in the last five days, even the Iron Man is now tired, not to mention that these players of the Pacers, the original physical strength is not very good, and they are still playing back-to-back in a row.

In the last three games, they have lost two games, losing two big players, compared to these, the joy of killing the Lakers has been diluted a lot, although playing the Suns is the last game, but the players on the Pacers' side have become impetuous.

The Suns don't play very cleanly, trash talk, and small actions can be said to be commonplace defensive tricks in this NBA.

If it's normal, maybe the Pacers don't care, but now the Pacers are tired and annoyed, and as soon as there are more small actions and trash talk, their side is also a little uncontrollable, which is the disadvantage of no veterans in the team, although veterans are also easy to be impulsive, but they can give young players a wake-up call at critical moments.

Jim O'Brien has been there all the time and doesn't feel that the atmosphere in the locker room is not quite right.

With the shouts of the court staff, the third quarter of the game is about to begin, and at this time, the breath of both teams is not quite right
