Chapter 5039: This Difficult Opponent!
Steve Nash's eyes finally had some light in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice: "That's right! The coach was right! Since the running bombardment is limited by them, then we will fight positional warfare! Fight hard and we won't necessarily lose! When the game enters the second half, their physical strength is not enough, and we can still use running and bombing to chase points! ”
After hearing Steve Nash's words, the Phoenix Suns players who were on the floor came to their senses.
That's right!
Now that they have switched to positional warfare, it doesn't mean that they will always have to fight positional warfare!
Although they are a little unaccustomed to it, they are still very familiar with the offense and defense of positional warfare since they were young from the beginning of practicing basketball.
It's just that there is a lack of tacit understanding and the tactics are not very rich.
In that case, they tried to make it as simple as possible.
When the Knicks players run out of energy, they can switch back to run-and-shoot tactics.
When it comes to physical reserves, the Phoenix Suns players still have a fairly high level of self-confidence.
"Toot!"
Soon, the whistle blew and players from both sides returned to the pitch.
Han Ning keenly found that the Phoenix Suns players seemed to have regained a lot of confidence and morale after the timeout.
For such a situation, he can be regarded as expecting it in his heart.
Mike D'Antoni is still capable as a manager.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to lead this Phoenix Suns team to a 60-22 record and enter the Western Conference finals in the original historical process.
He also won the Coach of the Season award.
After so many years in the NBA, I still have the ability to feed chicken soup to the players.
Back on the pitch.
Phoenix Suns offense.
This time, instead of choosing to receive the ball himself, Steve Nash let teammate Joe Johnson dribble to the frontcourt.
Then, Steve Nash didn't think about getting the basketball into his hands, but went straight to the run.
There was a swap of duties between him and Joe Johnson.
At this time, Steve Nash became one of the players who was organized.
Joe Johnson, on the other hand, began to reach out and direct his teammates to run.
And, this time, the Phoenix Suns players aren't blindly chasing speed.
Rather, it was unhurriedly running little by little, and the basketball was passed back and forth in the hands of every Phoenix Suns player.
Played very patiently.
Although it was not possible to organize any too strong offensive in a short time.
But this patience made Han Ning see that they were different from before.
Finally, with less than ten seconds left on offensive time, the Phoenix Suns found a not-so-great opportunity.
Joe Johnson dribbled to the left corner outside the three-point line and suddenly passed the ball to Amare Stoudemire, who was stuck in the low post.
After Amare Stoudemire received the basketball, he didn't stop and passed it directly to his teammate Sean Marion, who ran around behind him.
With Amare Stoudemire in the low post, Sean Marion shook off Kyle Korver, who was responsible for defending him, a step away.
Then he quickly turned around and shot directly at the basket.
It's not very elegant, but it's very stable.
"Huh!"
A mid-range shot scored.
The Phoenix Suns scored 2 points.
From this offense alone, it was clear to all the Knicks players that the Phoenix Suns players had changed their style of play.
It was a bit uncomfortable for them all.
The Ben Phoenix Suns players have been looking to increase the tempo of the game.
Whether it's running or passing the ball, it's as fast as possible.
But this time, they fought unhurriedly.
It's not about speed, it's about stability.
It's obvious that we're starting to fight a positional battle with them!
This sudden change of pace really made the Knicks players a little confused.
This is also a change of pace.
It's just that this time, instead of speeding up the pace of the game, the Phoenix Suns players took the initiative to slow down the pace of the game.
Such a contrast is really surprising.
With this feeling of discomfort, the Knicks also started to attack.
Aaron Iverson dribbled to the front court, reached out and gestured, and then began to direct his teammates to run.
Soon, Kyle Korver was covered by his teammates and had a decent chance at a 45-degree angle on the right, just outside the three-point line.
Sean Marion, who is in charge of defending Kyle Korver, is still one step away from him at this time.
Kyle Korver received a pass from his teammate and started shooting.
"Bang dang!"
Unfortunately, this time, Kyle Korver couldn't score the basketball.
Not everyone can guarantee that they will be able to score every shot.
Even if there is an open opportunity, it is possible to miss.
After the basketball smashed out of the basket, the inside line instantly made a mess.
Several interior players on both teams are desperately trying to get stuck in positions to grab rebounds.
Due to Da Yao's previous blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation for Kyle Korver, he didn't have time to run back to the basket to compete for rebounds in a short period of time.
Eventually, the rebound was controlled by Amare Stoudemire.
By the time Amare Stoudemire grabbed the rebound, almost all of the Knicks players began to run wildly toward their own half.
I'm afraid that I will be counterattacked by the players of the Phoenix Suns.
However, to everyone's surprise.
This time, the Phoenix Suns players are not running!
After Steve Nash received the basketball from Amare Stoudemire, he began to slowly walk to the front court with the other Phoenix Suns players.
This time, they don't play fast attack!
It's determined to have a positional battle with the Knicks!
After seeing this scene, Han Ning couldn't help frowning.
This trick really made him a little unexpected.
He could guess that the Phoenix Suns would find a way to play with the pace of the game.
It is possible to speed up the pace of the game or slow it down.
But he didn't expect that the Phoenix Suns would make such a big determination.
Directly gave up his best running and fast attack!
is determined to fight with himself in the positional battle that he is not good at!
If this was not actually happening in front of his eyes, he really couldn't believe it.
However, it also shows how determined this Phoenix Suns team is to win!
This is a tough opponent to play against!
