Chapter 158: Beat the Crazy Nix
The attack power of the team that plays the run-and-gun tactic is not bad, and once they go crazy, the attack power will increase exponentially
The Knicks are exactly such a team, with Li Feng's scheduling, the whole team is glued into a whole, like a high-running war machine, and any blocking will be ruthlessly crushed
Others may not know what to do, but at this time, the head coach of the Phoenix Suns, Gentry, knows how terrible the Knicks are
He knew that his team's defense was not strong, but he was repeatedly attacked by the opponent's outside players, which made Gentry very annoyed, and he couldn't help but walk to the sidelines and yell at Barbossa and others
The manager is angry with himself, and Barbossa and others are indeed depressed enough
Is it really so bad to defend yourself and others?
This may not be, but when Li Feng and others are able to send the basketball into the hoop with difficult movements when they are sticked, it seems that it is no longer so important to have defense
What's more, the Knicks can complete this kind of projection, and it is not only Marcus Thornton who is able to complete this projection, and sometimes the feeling of scoring a goal is as if it is a germ that can be contagious, and the outside line of the Knicks team at this time has undoubtedly been infected with this crazy virus
Even Duhon, who was being targeted by Barbossa, frequently played three-point plays
“So.easy”
Watching that goal bombardment, the scene became too crazy
Now in front of Barkley's eyes, there is a team that plays more Suns than the Suns, and their offense with a hint of madness has made the king of the league's running and bombing a little unable to raise his head
Time out
Seeing that the five-point lead in the first quarter was caught up by the opponent in an instant and reversed, Gentry could not bear to signal the players on the court to call a timeout to the referee
The Knicks' players swaggered back to the bench like generals returning from victory, and they were in high spirits
If the players of other teams dare to be so arrogant in the West Stadium, it is estimated that they will be booed by the Suns fans
But now who would dare to squeak when a guy who looks like a terrorist swaggers past him?
D'Antoni and his players aren't as aggressive as Nelson Sr. and the Knicks, but that's not the case now
Li Feng gave the Knicks ferocity, and the team can often play magical performances by relying on ferocity, and this group of 'bandits' is very united, and it is this unity that makes D'Antoni believe that his team is not the most elite players will not be afraid of any opponent, even if the opponent is a strong team like the Suns, Mavericks, and Spurs
"What are you guys up to? What about pick-and-roll? What about positioning? Are you going to play one-on-one with your opponent in front of him? Is your brain watery? ”
The Suns players all sat silently in the rest, not daring to look directly into Gentry's eyes, even a fool should know, Gentry, who usually speaks without half a dirty word, is already furious at this time, and no one wants to be the first unlucky person to be burned
Gentry's big fire is not because of the team's defense
The Suns' coach never struggles with defense and the reason why he gets angry is offense, and as a team that eats on offense, if something goes wrong in this area, it will be absolutely fatal
The Suns have no offense, just like the Pistons Bad Boys or the Knicks Gangsters lost their hard work and ruthlessness, and changed from a tough thug to a seductive little Lori
After venting, Gentry felt like he had calmed down emotionally
After all, the game only lasted until the second quarter, and now the priority was to get the team's offense back on track
As soon as he thought of this, Gentry's gaze unconsciously shifted to Nash's
He overestimated Barbossa's abilities
Barbosa has done quite well as a role player, but after all, he is only a natural role player, and some people asserted in Barbossa's most prominent season in 0607 that the Brazilian will not be a star, just a role player, judging from today's game, it is true...,
Although Barbossa can improve the team's degree, there is no organization
The whole team is going to be very chaotic, which is why Gentry insists on putting Barbosa on the field with Hill
Grant Hill was the playmaker of the year, and after Boris Dior was traded to the Bobcats, he was the most credible playmaker for the Suns outside of Nash, but for now, the combination doesn't work out well
Sometimes, one plus one will indeed be less than two
The timeout passed quickly, but the Suns had noticeably changed their lineup compared to before
Richardson and Barbosa were put on the bench, and they were replaced by Suns soul Nash and Slovenia point guard Dragic
Although Dragic is far inferior to Richardson in terms of offense and experience, he and Nash form a dual point guard, which is what the Suns need the most
The two-point guard strategy allowed the Suns to have an extra offensive shot, maximizing the team's offense, and the offensive problem was naturally solved, while veterans Hill and Frye were replaced by Jared Dudley and Robin Lopez
Gentry was very targeted in his lineup, and D'Antoni also made some minor adjustments, replacing Harden and Dujon with Matthews and Jarric
Seeing that Li Feng was still on the court after the timeout, Natalie seemed very happy, for Natalie, being able to watch her boyfriend running on the court was already very satisfying
"Steve Nash is back on the court, it seems that the Suns are going to start working again, but in the showdown with the Knicks, the rhythm of the game will be maintained at a very high level, and whether Nash's physical strength can be maintained at that time will be a key to determining the outcome of the game, at least in this time, Nash can be forced out, the Knicks have taken the initiative on the court"
Kenny Smith's comments are from the perspective of the in-between, and although they are a little less passionate than Barkley's, they appear professional and impartial
"Amal, don't blindly carry the opponent on the inside, run more and intersperse"
Before going on the court, Nash patted Stoudeyer's ass and said that the reason why Nash is called the core of the Suns is also a lot of connections with Stoudeyer
In this team, Nash is the only presence that can convince Stoudamire
Aside from Nash, even a veteran like Hill can't hold down Stadamire
Gentry's roar and Nash's re-appearance, the Suns' offense finally improved a little, although it was still constantly provoked by Li Feng, but at this moment, Stadameyer seemed to have suddenly learned what it meant to swallow his anger, and he was indifferent to the endless small movements in Li Feng's hands
On the contrary, with a gesture from Nash, he ran to the outside line, although it was also a block, but the cooperation between Stoudamire and Nash was already quite a bit of the shadow of the postman Malone and Stockton
Jaric is also a master who can play point guard, much taller than the average point guard, and has a larger body frame, but it is still a cut short of Stoudeyer
When Nash activated, the handsome guy was firmly blocked by the little overlord
Just like Li Feng before, after stopping Jarrich, Stadameyer did not stay where he was, but inserted the inside line Nash and Stodamire with both arrows, and the Knicks had to shrink their interior line to cut off the connection between Nash and Stodamayre
However, Nash's passing line is much more than that
Since there are no more opportunities on the inside, it means that teammates on the outside will have a lot of opportunities
With a twist of the wrist, no one could see Nash's movements clearly, and the basketball had already appeared in the hands of Dragic, who had already been ambushed on the outside...,
Aiming at the basket and taking plenty of time to shoot allowed Dragic to even have time to have afternoon tea, which shows how much of a hole the Knicks' defense has appeared in this round
But what made the Suns fans in the West Stadium couldn't help but sigh, in front of such a big vacancy, Dragic's shot finally ended with an iron
It seems that the young guy who has just come on the pitch has not found the feeling of scoring
The ball bounced high, but the basket was a mess
Lopez, Stoudeyer, Li Feng and Ibaka, these four big men went to that station, and immediately stuffed the penalty area to the brim, but it was not Stadamire who stood with Li Feng, but Lopez, who is known for his bounce and long arms
But despite his excellent jumping, Lopez didn't have the slightest intention of jumping over the ball this time
Instead, he used all his strength to carry Li Feng behind him, and Ibaka and Stoudamire competed for the rebound, although Lopez took the initiative to withdraw from the competition, but his tactics also forced Li Feng to be unable to participate
In the battle between Stadamire and Ibaka, there is no doubt that the former has many advantages
The current Xiao Si is not a hairy boy who can only pick up empty back then, he has practiced hard every summer, and his comprehensive ability is far from Ibaka, and he also has a certain advantage in experience
Within the limits of the rules, Stadamire leaned on Ibaka with his broad back, knocked his opponent into a temporary loss of gravity, and then jumped high and waved his hand to snatch the rebound
As soon as his toes touched the ground, Stadameyer didn't pause much, and then jumped again, his hands holding the ball slammed down from top to bottom towards the basket
At this time, Li Feng forcibly squeezed out of Lopez, who was blocking in front of him, and saw that Stadamire wanted to wreak havoc on his own side's basket
Almost subconsciously, Li Feng greeted him
It's a pity that from breaking through Lopez's defense line to jumping to block Stoudeyer, although Li Feng has done his best, he is still a beat slower, and it is this momentary gap that makes Stoudeyer take the lead
Before Nash returned to the court, Stoudamire played particularly unsmoothly and was very aggrieved
Now that I finally caught an opportunity to vent, the fierce player under the basket naturally used all his strength, as if he wanted to smash the basket to pieces before he was willing (to be continued)
