Chapter 192: The West Duel Begins
In fact, many people don't watch the NBA, but they all know Kobe.
And Zhou Yang actually defeated Kobe, so many girls are crazy about Zhou Yang.
Female fans are horrible.
Curry and Zhou Yang only hugged each other after the game, and he apologized to Zhou Yang.
"Second Brother Yang, I'm sorry, I'm ......"
"Say no more, Stephen, you are my brother forever! You did the right thing! Shoot when it's time to shoot, our Warriors should have this kind of blood! ”
When Curry heard Zhou Yang say this, his heart warmed, and he smiled embarrassedly: "If it was really because I was expelled and lost the game, I would regret it for the rest of my life." ”
"Don't say that, the brothers won't let you expel you in vain, everyone will help you get back the victory!"
"Thank you, thank you......"
"Don't talk about it so much, we've already qualified, we should think about the next opponent!"
"You're right, we must move on!"
……
The Warriors' next opponent is the Suns.
The Suns were particularly fierce in this year's playoffs, sweeping away the Spurs 4-0.
Although the Spurs in the regular season have a mediocre record and rank seventh in the West, the Spurs in the playoffs are still terrible.
And this Suns team was able to sweep the Spurs 4:0, which shows how terrifying the Suns are!
The Suns, with Nash and Stoudemire as the core, have taken their run-and-gun tactics to a new level.
The Warriors coached by Nelson Sr. are also known as Run-Bomb 2.0, and in the early part of the regular season, they defeated the Suns with Zhou Yang's outstanding performance.
But the Suns, who have a mature system, are playing better and better, and finally ranked third in the West, and only won three games less than the Lakers, who ranked first in the West.
The media hyped this showdown even more.
In fact, there is no need for hype, just with the duel between the two generations of running and bombing systems, it has attracted the attention of countless fans.
In the pre-match interviews between the two teams, there was not much gunpowder.
Maybe this has something to do with the temperament of Nash, Zhou Yang, and the core of the two families.
Neither of them is too flamboyant in character, everything has to be seen on the court!
Nelson Sr. was very well prepared for the series, sleeping only two or three hours a night.
He watched the video of the Suns' playoff games carefully, and also made a detailed analysis and record.
And in the pre-game training, a highly targeted tactical drill was conducted.
……
Three days later, the much-anticipated Western Conference Finals began!
Phoenix West Arena, 8 p.m.
The Suns' starting lineup is Nash, Stoudemire, Richardson, Fry, Lopez.
The Warriors' starting lineup is Zhou Yang, Curry, Andries, Margetty and Jackson.
Nash had a good impression of Zhou Yang and Curry, and took the initiative to come over and chat with the two for a while during the pre-game warm-up.
Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Lopez Jr. grabbed the first wave of possession.
Nash dribbles forward, and Curry steps up to the top defense.
Stoudemire immediately came up and blocked Curry.
Nash is not a single-hander, he never plays heads-up with people, he can play pick-and-roll.
Jackson delayed, defending Nash, but he couldn't keep up with Nash's pace.
The Son of the Wind didn't scream for nothing, he changed direction and accelerated, and he threw Jackson away.
At this time, Stoudemire immediately rushed to the penalty area!
Is the Suns' classic tactic coming?
The Warriors were prepared, and the moment Stoudemire hit the box, Andris quickly made up for it, raised his hands and stopped Smalls behind him.
Jackson, on the other hand, ran in front of Lopez and was stuck in his position.
Suns head coach Gentry frowned, and he realized that Nelson Sr. really had something.
In the first round, Stoudemire was restricted.
Of course, it is impossible to limit Xiao Si all over the court, but judging from this round, the Warriors have succeeded.
Nash was also surprised, but he had a wide field of vision and did not pass to Xiaosi, but looked back and passed the ball to Frye at a 45-degree angle!
Frye is important for this Suns team.
He is 2.11 meters tall but plays the small forward position, and he has a height advantage against Margeti.
After receiving the ball, Frye calmly shot from outside the three-point line, and hey!
Three-point hit!
The Suns' home fans immediately cheered.
This year's Suns are too fierce, and Suns fans hope to fulfill their championship dreams this year!
Before this group of Suns players, the closest thing to a championship was the Suns led by Barkley.
It's a pity that Fliggy met the god of basketball, and could only regret losing and never won a championship.
After Frye scored, he was very excited, high-fived and roared with his teammates.
Zhou Yang knew that Frye was very accurate, but there was no way, his height was there, and the height of the Warriors' lineup was not enough.
The Warriors' tactics are to contain Stoudemire, which is the Suns' regular weapon, and must be contained.
Select the question.
The Warriors attacked, and Curry dribbled through the half.
Because it's an away game, the Warriors have to respond strongly.
Otherwise, the home advantage is here, and it will be difficult to chase if it really hits a wave.
Therefore, as soon as the Splash Brothers came up, they used Wang Bang.
Zhou Yang went over to block Nash, and Richardson switched to Curry.
Then Curry quickly took it apart and passed the ball back to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang faced Nash, he could fight as much as he wanted!
Swish!
Zhou Yang didn't hesitate at all, and shot directly in three points!
Nash's defense is really not good, it can't interfere, and he can only watch Zhou Yang shoot and hit!
3:3!
The Warriors responded strongly.
Gentry saw it in his eyes and was very envious.
Although Nash is very good, he is the engine of the Sun's run-and-gun tactics.
But compared to Zhou Yang, Nash is still much worse in defense.
The Suns attacked, and Nash held the ball through half court and called for a pick-and-roll again.
But this time it was Lopez who ran out and blocked Curry.
Andris didn't defend it and crouched on the edge of the box.
Nash was about to make a move, but Zhou Yang pounced and blocked in front of Nash.
This is also Nelson's arrangement, Andris can't come out, he has to squat under the basket, otherwise Nash will play Andris around.
In the face of Zhou Yang, Nash definitely didn't dare to break through, he called a cover again, and Xiao Si came out again, covering again.
The game was so good-looking, the two sides saw the moves, and kept changing the rhythm of attack and defense.
Xiao Si blocked Zhou Yang, and Nash hit the bottom line again.
Suddenly, Nash threw the ball high and a figure soared into the air and smashed the ball into the basket!
Richardson!
Richardson, who is less than two meters tall, is also a dunk!
When Zhou Yang went to make up for the defense, Richardson quietly ran to the basket, Nash was quick and immediately threw the ball out, and the two completed a beautiful empty dunk!
