The Suns originally had two strongest points, one was Nash's organization and the other was Xiaosi's attack.

Chamberlain's 360-degree comprehensive defense without dead angles made it difficult for Xiao Si to catch the ball, let alone attack with the ball, so the Suns' run-and-bomb tactics lost half of their attack power, and now they can't bomb, they can only run. But you can't score when you run, no matter how fast you run, you can use it to top a ball?

Nash can only take the initiative to score, but Davis's defensive ability should not be underestimated, such a strong tonnage, such a strong body, Nash has suffered enough in his encounters, although he can use speed and skill to shake off the opponent, but that is at the cost of a lot of physical consumption.

What's more, there is also a Jackson on the outside who can switch defenses with Davis at any time, and the two of them serve Nash together, which makes the Wind Son, who is now on the MVP list, extremely depressed.

In the first quarter, the two teams that were best at fast break staged an offensive battle for the 20,000 fans in Oracle Stadium. For the Suns, it's an out-and-out offensive battle, but for the Warriors, they're not just breaking fast, they're defending, and even if only Chamberlain is serious about defense, that's enough.

Chamberlain's presence made the Warriors' restricted area impregnable, and the Suns could only score through constant shooting, air relays, fast-break dunks, defensive counterattacks, and box throwing, all of which were scrapped in this game, and Chamberlain sent four blocks in the first quarter, two to Xiaosi and two to Barbossa, which caused the Suns players to spin their legs as soon as they entered the restricted area.

At the end of the first half, the Suns scored 55 points, which is not low, but considering that the Suns averaged 112 points per game, this halftime score is still a bit unimpressive, especially since their opponent, the Warriors, scored 65 points.

Nash played 24 minutes straight and scored 20 points, which is not far from 30 points. And the assists he was best at in the past only gave five times in two quarters, which made him feel deeply helpless, shooting can't kill the opponent, and one person can't win five people.

Xiao Si, who used to perform vigorously, became invisible in this game, he only scored a total of six points in the first half, and only picked a pitiful four, you know, even Hill cut four rebounds in the first half, and the latter was the first seriously injured player of the Suns.

D'Antoni had to let Nash take a break, this is just a regular season game, and it's an away game, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, there is no need to torture the team's main players for an indifferent game, if Nash is also injured due to fatigue, it will be cool.

Raja Bale, Boyce Dior and Sean Marx came off the bench, while Hill and Barbossa were also on the floor, and the Suns were on the bench in all but the guard line.

Nelson Sr. also began to make substitutions, but this can't be said to be a substitution, Harrington, Azubuke and Barnes are all old man's favorites, these can be said to be the team's sixth man, and the Warriors' bench depth is not the best in the league, but it can also be ranked high.

Chamberlain hit five of six shots in the first half, scored 12 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, in addition to six blocks and two assists.

In the third quarter, Chamberlain was still on the court, his physical strength was not at the limit, and the old Nelson would not let him go, because he hoped that Chamberlain could mature as soon as possible.

Chamberlain and Luiz stood together talking and laughing, and Evans looked at the five people on the court with envy, constantly gearing up, maintaining their condition, hoping to get the opportunity to play.

The Suns have the ball, Nash is off, Barbosa becomes a point guard, he is a qualified sixth man, but not a qualified point guard, strictly speaking, he is the same kind of person as Azubuk, a strengthened version of Azubuk, an offensive guard.

Barbossa, the Suns' offensive rhythm did not fall but rose, he took the ball to the front court at a gallop, looked at the position of his teammates, and just when Chamberlain thought he was going to pass the ball to organize the attack, this kid was short, lowered his head and rushed inside.

Luis didn't follow, Barbossa went directly to the inside, Chamberlain smiled, this grandson doesn't remember to eat, it seems that the block he gave him in the first half was not enough.

Sean Marx, the backup center of the Suns, is a parallel commodity, which is the common feature of all run-and-bomb teams, that is, the team does not have a good center, the former Warriors are even worse, Billings is the team's best interior line, the Suns are stronger than them, there is a small Si, but it is only a little stronger, Marx's ability and O'Brien's unique fight.

Chamberlain pouted his ass hard and Marx left the penalty area, allowing him to focus all his energy on Barbossa.

Barbossa jumped, Hill slipped the bottom line and followed, Chamberlain glanced at him and jumped, Hill was an injured veteran, he didn't pay attention to it, he didn't believe that this guy dared to risk being knocked out by himself on the inside to make waves.

Chamberlain's deterrence of Barbossa was still very strong, he jumped together, and the latter wilted, as if the ball in his hand was hot, and he hurriedly handed it to Hill, who followed up on the inside. Hill got the ball and took three steps, flicked his wrist and sent it into the hoop.

Chamberlain was depressed, Azubuuk, the bird of defense? Dare to be with Ellis for a long time and be infected with the problem of defensive sieve?

Azubuuk sneered, and in retrospect, Louis wanted to pass the ball to him to get revenge, but Chamberlain got stuck with Marx, so Louis changed his mind and passed the ball to Chamberlain on the inside.

In the face of Marx, Chamberlain can show the results of his training for a month and a half, he first grabbed the ball with one hand and turned to look at Marx, the latter stared at him nervously, if he stayed before, Chamberlain would definitely push in with brute force without saying a word, and directly deducted the matter.

But now Winnie asked Chamberlain to change his style to be a tricky insider, so he pushed in rhythmically against Marx sideways, advanced two big steps and then turned sideways abruptly, skillfully slapped the ball past Marx, and raised his hand to dunk under the basket.

Marx chased after him with all his strength, Chamberlain raised his hand and he immediately jumped up, but Chamberlain pulled the ball down again, the central axis did not move his body and turned around quickly, found the gap again, jumped easily and sent the ball into the hoop.

Now Chamberlain realized the benefits of technical flow, scoring is very easy, and that kind of pleasure is not comparable to brute force dunks.

Seeing Chamberlain's breakthrough in the restricted area and a fake layup, the eyes of the fans in Oracle Stadium lit up, and D'Antoni's face remained unchanged, now all teams in the league except the Warriors expect Chamberlain to be a jumping man if he can't develop offensive skills, but his offense makes these people feel bad in their hearts.

What's worse is that in the ensuing attack, Dio forced Harrington to turn and hook his hand, only to be blown away by Chamberlain's hat. Two rounds later, the same person in a different position, this time it was the turn of Raja Bale, the tough guy finally broke through Barnes to the inside, and just threw a shot, Chamberlain came out of the penalty area and 'snapped' and came with a big hat.

At this moment, the Suns' attack was embarrassed, Barbosa floated outside with the ball, even if Luis couldn't keep up with his speed, he didn't dare to enter the interior to fight hand-to-hand.

The cheers of the fans rang out in Oracle Arena, and anyone could guess how careful the Suns were passing the ball from the outside.

When the ball passed to Hill, Hill did not continue to pass, he tentatively took a step forward, Azubuk did not pay much attention, seeing this, Hill immediately heeled the other foot, and took two steps in a row to shake off Azubuk, and rode to the penalty area.

Hill's first step on the breakthrough was quick, and before he didn't hurt his ankle, his first step was hailed as the league's first step, known as 'one step to heaven, one step to hell', and almost no one could catch up. Now although he is old and injured, the foundation is still there, and Azubuke can't keep up with this step.

Marx still didn't provide much help to his teammates, and Hill was clearly going to enter the box, but Chamberlain easily leveled Marx and then concentrated on dealing with Hill.

Approaching the restricted area, Hill's speed began to decline, and Chamberlain bent his body slightly and spread his arms to give him a big hat, so that even if the Suns starters ate a block family photo.

Hill turned sideways to gain distance, and against Chamberlain, he forced himself to rise from the ground, his outside arm raised high, and he was about to hook the ball with one hand.

Chamberlain jumped up, this kind of ball is not challenging, if it is Yao Ming, this hook is still possible, but Hill is not good, Chamberlain has absolute confidence that he can block the ball.

But Hill didn't shoot at will, when Chamberlain raised his hand to block, he was about to shoot with one hand, and suddenly the forced twist of his body changed from sideways to facing Chamberlain, and the one-handed ball was also changed to a two-handed ball, and his body shrank and drilled into Chamberlain's armpit, and then threw the ball out of the air.

The referee's whistle sounded in time, Chamberlain was shocked, and Hill took the initiative to make a foul!

The two collided with each other, how could Hill in the twilight of his life be able to withstand the young and vigorous Chamberlain? As soon as the two collided, he bounced straight out of the air and fell heavily to the ground.

Hill landed on the ground with his back, although the impact was relieved, but it was still painful, he tried to stand up with his hands on the ground, but a hand reached in front of him, he didn't think it was a teammate, he held the hand and was pulled up by the other party.

After getting up, Hill found that it was Chamberlain who pulled him, which surprised him, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you pulling me?" ”

Chamberlain shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically, "Why are you playing so hard?" ”

Hill smiled, he didn't answer, and after standing on the free throw line and hitting two free throws, he said to Chamberlain: "At this point, as a member of the team, I have to step up." ”

Chamberlain was silent, he went to the baseline to serve, and then suddenly said to Luis: "If that soft guy in Amaré Stoudemire has a big heart as tough as Grant Hill, then he may really be able to up." ”

In the first few seasons of entering the league, although Hill had a prominent record in the NBA regular season, he never led the Pistons to make a difference in the playoffs, so he attracted a lot of criticism, and the name of weakness began to appear at that time.

Hill's tragic career was ruined by this, as Hill sprained his ankle in a game against the Philadelphia 76ers seven days before the 199-2000 NBA playoffs, but he decided to go out with the injury to refute the rumors. Unfortunately, his ankle injury worsened in the playoffs against the Miami Heat, forcing him to retire midway through Game 2, and he hasn't been back to his peak since.

Thinking of these past events, Chamberlain is a little embarrassed, Hill is too upright and gentlemanly, he cares too much about the opinions of fans and teammates, and pays the price for a brilliant career for a false name about a tough guy, I wonder if he regrets it now?

Anyway, in Chamberlain's heart, Hill is already a tough guy, at least the first tough guy on the Suns.
