In the night, the fans in Philadelphia were still cheering hard for the home team, and in the afterglow of the setting sun in Phoenix, the West Eighth Side, a white man with long hair had just finished his daily training and was about to go home, when his mustachioed head coach called him to stop.

"Come to the general manager's office, there's a funny guy here, I think you should check it out, Steve."

When he came to the president's office, Nash, who thought there was some "new tea", only saw the team's general managers Colangelo Jr. and D'Antoni gathered in front of the TV.

Little Colangelo didn't say anything when he saw Nash coming, but just beckoned to him to come and sit down.

The new tea hasn't come yet, or is there any new tea ready to be traded?

With doubts in mind, Nash sat down and looked at the game on the screen — the Heat and the 76ers — and he understood something.

There wasn't much time in the game, looking at the time on the side of the screen, there were 3 minutes left in the third quarter.

"Now you're number one in assists, and that sophomore Chinese player is number two." D'Antoni said, pointing to the handsome teenager on the screen.

"I remember him, the sixth man who won the Pistons championship last year, and I remember that Mr. Colangelo didn't want to trade him in the summer?" Nash turned to look at Colangelo.

Colangelo nodded and said, "yes, I wanted to trade him in the summer, but the Dumas bastard asked for too much, and they dared to ask me for two first-round picks with one year left on their contract, so I hesitated at the time, and then we signed Quentin (Richardson) instead, but honestly, I'm kind of sorry now." ”

"Don't be too greedy, one double-double per game is enough, and one more, everyone else won't dribble, right?" D'Antoni shook his head and laughed.

"We don't need him to start with the ball, but his off-the-ball ability, his shooting ability, his ability to play the ball and his defensive ability are all what we need, and with him, we can have a playmaking attack in the second team. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

In addition to Nash, including Joe Johnson, Marion, Jr., and Ragabel, who has made an important contribution to the Suns' defense next year, are all signed or traded by Colangelo Jr.

"It's all in the past, I can't buy regret medicine, so let's watch the game first." D'Antoni was relieved.

At present, the Suns are 8-2, the first in the league, and the average net win over opponents is 11 points per game, which is also the first in the league.

On the screen, the Heat have overtaken the score, Wade is out of the game, and now the Heat are led by Fat Ao and Mo Wen, who rested in the first half of the third quarter.

In Wade's absence, the Heat's main focus was on high-post pick-and-roll, but it wasn't Fat who mentioned high-post cover, but Haslem.

Although the quality of Ao Fat's body type as a cover is definitely historic, except for the key ball, absolutely no one will want to lift Ao Fat up, his starting speed is too slow, and the speed of blocking and dismantling is about the same as that of a tractor. And in any case, the most intimidating part of Ao Fat is under the basket, whether it is to attract defense or compete for rebounds.

Although the 76ers know that Mo Wen wants to play blocking and dismantling, it is not easy to defend, Rasul and replacing Wade Damon Jones are ambushed in the bottom corner on both sides, they have each shot three points tonight, it is impossible to completely empty them, and O'Neal sinks to the bottom position, which also makes their interior line dare not relax, and the whole space is quite open.

And when this kind of space appears, Nash can guess the next plot.

If you don't change the defense, Mo Wen has space to shoot, and if you change the defense, Haslem can cut in the air, and Mo Wen can also make a big breakthrough, even if he fails to break through in the end, but he attracts the defense, and the ball goes to the sides or O'Neal under the basket, which is also a scoring opportunity.

This kind of is the suppression of the lineup, similar to the Suns, either a pitcher or a punching monster, even if the positional battle does not require too complicated tactics, it can play a good offensive success rate.

And after Wade came on the court in the fourth quarter, Mo Wen gave Wade part of the task of holding the ball, but it did not reduce his presence.

Whether it's his obvious routine interaction with Wade on the outside, or his reappearance of playmaking options when the tactics can't be opened, Nash shines.

Looking at Mo Wen's 17 points and 13 assists at the end of the game, D'Antoni couldn't help but nod.

"Although this data produces a little moisture, I have to say that his sense of smell and response in positional warfare are really terrifying."

"Don't look at me, my hands are itchy right now, I just want to know when we can play with the Heat." Nash spread his hands.

Colangelo took a notebook from the side.

"December 13th, well, I remember it was the beginning of the All-Star voting, tsk, Steve should be ready, how ugly is it to be picked on by a sophomore when you turn around?.

······

"Evaluation? What else can I say, without Mo, the victory in this game will definitely be won by us, brother, a sophomore player who averages double-doubles in assists per game, what else can you make me rate? He's already shown to be a top point guard, and all that's left is time to build up. ”

Iverson, who cut 40+ in the air, said helplessly in front of the camera that he planned to urge the management to find him a helper later.

For so many years, he was also fed up with the days of struggle alone.

"Congratulations, after the game, your average assists per game also managed to reach a double-double, do you have anything to say?" At the press conference, a reporter asked.

"Actually, it's all teammates who play well, and if you think about a team with an interior monster like Shaq, a talented guard like Wade, and a bunch of shooters who shoot accurately, all I need to do is open up space and pass, and I just do what I have to do."

Mo Wen said modestly, it's not that he can be low-key, he knows how much water is in his data, and he can feel the "love" of the scorekeeper for him in the first few games.

Wade and Fat contributed half of his assists, but they are not simply catch-and-shoot scorers, they are more accustomed to receiving the ball and dribbling it to their liking rhythm before launching an offensive finish, if it is someone else, it will definitely not be an assist, but the scorekeeper will count it for him.

If only this happened at the Heat's home court, the Heat's home scorekeeper was a girl, which could be interpreted as an obsession with his male color.

But he can also have this kind of preferential treatment away from home, and the problem is clear.

"Then do you have any interest in the whole assist king, now only Nash has a double-double assists except for you." A reporter next to him continued to ask.

"No, I'm not interested in stats, and I'm happiest when I'm holding normal stats and working as a bench for the Pistons."

"I'm just a normal player, nothing special, at most it's just a little bit better to pass the ball."

"Cutting good data is just a passing thing, and the proportion of happiness that data brings me may not even be 5%."

Ask everyone, do you like more depictions of games, or do you like to be open on and off the field?
