The Knicks' final game of the three-game road trip came to Phoenix in the West as promised, and fans were very interested in this contest between two offensive teams.

Under the leadership of Nash, this season's Suns are as strong as ever, and the regular season boss has previously achieved three consecutive wins.

"The Knicks haven't been in great form lately, and we're on a three-game winning streak, so it's not too hard for the Suns to win this game!"

The rebuttal of the New York reporter made some people very disdainful, "than offense? God, is there any team in the league that knows more about offense than we do? As for the Big Apple, it's true that he's very good, but unfortunately, he's staying with the Knicks right now! ”

Xiao Si's implication is very clear, New York is not to worry about anything except Li Chen, the meaning of the existence of others is just to drag the big Apple back, as for the offense in the mouth of Knicks fans, it is simply not an order of magnitude with the offensive level of the Suns.

Xiao Si's conceited remarks completely annoyed the arrogant New York fans, and there were countless counterattack remarks on the league's official website for a while, what Suns can't win the championship in their lifetime, what Xiao Si is a freak who loves to wear the No. 1 jersey, and what Nash is an old bean sprout. In short, the whole Suns team is stained with Xiao Si's big light this time.

Of course, the war of words can only affect the morale of both sides after all, and it really waits until the game starts. Whether they are strong or weak has to be verified by their respective strengths, and although New York fans are powerful, they are still a little worried about the result of the game. After all, from all aspects, there is a big gap between the Knicks and the Suns.

Before the game, in the away team's locker room, Li Chen was asking D'Antoni's opinion. Considering the promise he made to Lindsay, he was very serious about today's game.

"Coach, I've thought about it, everyone's not in good shape. I think I'm supposed to be at the heart of the team and I'm going to be the one who wants to score, even if it's a lot of pressure on my body, but it's a little bit tiring. I don't want to hear the Phoenix people laugh at me even more, I want to win this game! ”

"Are you sure?" D'Antoni looked at his disciple calmly, in fact, Li Chen had informed D'Antoni of this idea as early as yesterday, when the mustache thought that the core of the team was losing his temper. So I didn't take his words seriously.

But after thinking about it. He suddenly realized that what Li Chen said did not seem to be wrong, even if it was contrary to the concept of team basketball that he agreed with.

"Yes, I'm sure!" Li Chen insisted on his thoughts, "I don't want to monopolize the power of the hand alone, it's just that everyone's state is in front of me, and sharing the right to play is just a waste of opportunity to be honest, and I also want to boost the fighting spirit of those guys through my performance!" ”

Recalling the New York media's protection of the Knicks these days, Li Chen seemed very dissatisfied. "Yes, we are a young team. We're going to have a lot of shortcomings, but I don't think that's going to be a shield for us. ”

Li Chen is very prepared in order to get D'Antoni to support his decision, "Since we are on the field, we should think about how to win the game, you know, our goal this year is the playoffs!" If we go on the current state, I doubt we will be able to carry the next 70 games! ”

D'Antoni quietly thought about what his disciple said, from all aspects, the method Li Chen said was indeed the best, of course, as the coach of the Knicks, he had to consider more than that.

"I don't have an opinion, it's just that you can handle it yourself on your teammates' side, after all, I am the coach of a team, let everyone serve you, I still make that choice for the time being, you are the core of the team, you can handle this kind of thing!"

D'Antoni's attitude is very clear, if he wants to take over the game, he can take care of it, but he has to take care of the relationship with his teammates, and he will not come forward to be this villain anyway. In this way, if the game is lost in the end because of Li Chen's arbitrariness, he can also push the responsibility to Li Chen's side.

At 7 p.m. local time, the game officially kicked off at the Suns' home stadium in the center of the Sky Corridor, with both teams fielding their strongest lineups.

In the face of the former old coach, the Suns' old members such as Nash, Xiaosi, and Hill all appeared, even though the Suns' current coach has become Gentry, but everyone will not forget that it was D'Antoni who gave Phoenix the opportunity to be reborn, and it was he who led the Suns from a team at the bottom of the Western Conference to a leader in the league, and later Gentry was just blessed by his predecessors.

Robin Lopez served as the Suns' starting center, and compared to his older brother on the Nets, the young man had to hone all aspects, especially in terms of offensive means, the younger brother and the older brother were simply incomparable.

The Suns' quarterback was handed over to Jason Richardson, who had won two consecutive dunk titles, and it has to be mentioned that if it weren't for the mercy of the referees to Fred Jones back then, Richardson would have almost completed the great feat of three consecutive championships. In addition to dunking, Richardson's three-point strength is also really good, even if he can't get rid of the image of a dunk, but this does not affect him to become the team's top scorer.

D'Antoni still fielded his old team, and the lack of new ideas in the lineup slightly disappointed the New York fans who were expecting changes from the team. Anyway, I replaced Battier, it's just a big deal to compare who is more accurate in his three-point shooting.

Fans of one of the four ancient countries are very unhappy with the fact that Mustache did not let Batman start. What's the use of putting Hughes on it, and what else can he do other than contribute a couple of ugly breakaways, defend Nash? God, do you think Nash is the rogue old man playing the wild ball next door? If a person can prevent it, then he won't be called a wind-chasing boy!

In fact, as expected by fans, Nash, who has rejuvenated this season, once again burst out with strong vitality, and the combination of one inside and one outside with Xiao Si gave the stunned boy-like Knicks a profound lesson in the first quarter.

32:21, under the powerful offensive of the Sun. The Knicks seem to have completely lost the ability to control the game! Even if the No. 10 on the other side is as fragile as an old sprout, it doesn't mean that the Knicks can take advantage of their physical strength.

A consummate guard on the offensive end, Nash has all the qualities of a good scorer: whether it's a driving layup. Shooting from mid-range, three-pointers to free throws, Nash can be at the top level.

What's even more remarkable is that while Nash's quest to score is as easy as picking up a bag, he doesn't need to score to dominate the game at all, and he only shows his sharp teeth when necessary. His and Smalls' pick-and-rolls are a nightmare for almost all teams.

No one could have predicted what he would do next. Is it passing, or is it attacking on your own? And when it comes to critical moments, Nash can still step up and deliver a fatal blow that his opponent will never forget.

Internode breaks. There was a mourning on the bench of the Knicks, and the pre-game vow had already been rushed out of the sky by the bad score at the moment, and the low state made people almost have no desire to play again, in the most intuitive words. Except for Li Chen. No one believed that this game would be won.

Lindsay in the audience looked at the scoreboard not far away very depressed, which clearly showed that the Knicks were 11 points behind in just one quarter, but this is not the worst, because it is not uncommon for NBA games to be reversed by large scores, but today's Knicks can't see the meaning of a little reversal.

"Damn, that little bitch should laugh at me again when I get back, and I encouraged you to lose all three games. God, how lucky I am! Although Li Chen has told Lindsay that he wants to win this game. But the girl took it more as a joke, and now the facts seemed to show her that it was really just a joke.

"Damn bastard, look at how I squeeze you dry tonight, I finally came to play with you for an away game, and I was so unawesome!" The bad girl frowned, Li Chen not far away seemed to be saying something to his teammates, as before, the man was still the only person in the team who played normally.

"Eh, guys, we seem to be having a hard time!" After a quarter of the game, Li Chen was more sure of his previous thoughts, if he didn't stand up again, today's game would really be no play, and it wasn't terrible if he couldn't fight, but he didn't believe that he could fight this kind of thought made people feel sad.

David Lee was very annoyed, "Damn, their attack is too smooth, and my hand feels no better, even the attack can't compare to others, how can we fight!" ”

Babyface is also a little disappointed, compared to the previous three consecutive wins, this time it seems that the "three consecutive defeats" that are about to be achieved seem to have a greater impact on him, and he even began to doubt whether his strength can stay in this highly competitive league, at least from the current state, Evans Jennis, Harden, these guys who are ranked at the top of the rookie power list, he can't compare.

Everyone's expressions were all in Li Chen's eyes, and it could be seen that the successive defeats made everyone's hearts a little heavy. If they lose again, it will be difficult to guarantee the confidence of the players themselves.

It's time to make a change! Li Chen nodded secretly, and he asked solemnly, "Can anyone think of a solution to this?" ”

Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, except for D'Antoni, no one knew what Li Chen meant, they didn't know what this seemingly indifferent boss wanted to say. Blame them for their state? Indeed, Li Chen is the only one who can be blamed, because he is the only one in the entire team who is playing normally.

"Can no one stand up?" The situation was all under control, Li Chen was very satisfied, and he stood up as he spoke.

"If you can't do it, then I'll have to take over the game!"

Big Apple's words are surprising, take over the game, does he think he can do better? Everyone thought it was incredible to Li Chen's idea, in their opinion, the core of the team was good enough, and the loss was just because they didn't give it their best, but now Li Chen himself said that he was going to take over the game, so that said, he felt that the game could still be won!

"Coach?" David Lee turned his head to D'Antoni, although Li Chen's words were not very comfortable, but he still wanted to see what the coach thought, after all, if Li Chen wanted to take over the game, it would be right, because the other people's state was too bad.

Seeing that Li Chen had already done what he wanted, D'Antoni had no reason to stand up and stop him, so he simply pressed all his chips on his disciple, "Just do what Cruz said?" I'm sure he'll surprise us! Isn't it, Cruz? ”

"Cruze? Well, what about others? ”

In the distance, Lindsay, who was thinking wildly, suddenly found that the little man he had been slandering suddenly appeared in front of him, the bad situation did not affect him, the smile on the man's face was still so flat, and at the same time so charming!

"My goddess! Can you give me some encouragement? You know, we're in a terrible situation right now, and I need your support! ”

The camera follows the focus as promised, and the bad girl is very excited, even if she is a little embarrassed, but on the surface she is very calm, and in a similar situation to Taylor, she has no reason to lose to the little beauty in the formation.

Ignoring the audience's coaxing, Lindsay calmly kissed Li Chen's forehead.

"Fifty points, I'm looking forward to it!" (To be continued......)
