Warriors offense.

Playing away, Zhou Yang, as the star of the house, must make a strong response, otherwise it will be difficult to play.

Zhou Yang advanced to the front court with the ball, and in the face of the double bag, he first passed the ball to Turkoglou.

Then Zhou Yang beckoned, and Curry ran towards him.

The Suns defenders are very sensitive to the Splash Brothers' runs.

Seeing that the two of them were "going in both directions" again, they hurriedly surrounded the two of them.

Who knows, Zhou Yang and Curry haven't met yet, but they suddenly ran back at the same time and quickly separated.

This......

What's the way to play?

Richardson and Fry, who were defending Zhou Yang, were stunned for half a second.

Just then, Turkoglou made a precise pass of the ball.

Only then did Richardson know that he had been fooled.

If you want to pounce again, it's too late, Zhou Yang has already shot three points!

The Suns players felt a chill.

Pity...... Boom!

Zhou Yang turned astray.

Fortunately, Chandler made a shot under the basket, protected the rebound, forced a layup, was held by Stoudemire, and sent to the free throw line.

The Suns were under-averaging height, conceded rebounds, and paid the price for their five-man lineup.

But Gentry was really happy because Zhou Yang didn't make a three-point shot.

This is the best news for the Suns!

Zhou Yang was also very annoyed, shaking his head slightly, but his mind was still very calm.

After all, playing away from home, the first shot was too urgent.

Zhou Yang's mentality has not changed, but his Warriors teammates began to panic when they saw Zhou Yang's miss.

Chandler made one of two free throws and the Suns launched a counterattack.

Nash pushed forward and called for cover again.

Because Nash hit a three-point shot just now, the Warriors' deployment was greatly delayed, and Turkoglu stuck to Nash and didn't give him a chance to shoot.

But if you stick so tightly, it will be easier for Nash to break through.

Scold!

Nash bent over and shifted gear, shook off the gap, and as soon as he accelerated, Tekoglou was left behind.

Zhou Yang immediately went to make up for the defense, but Xiao Si had already reached the free throw line at this time.

Nash made a ground-hitting pass, operated to the limit, and passed the ball to the plugged in Small.

Xiao Si took advantage of Chandler's lack of defense and shot directly, hey!

Two points in hand.

The Suns' first two points came from Nash!

The Canadian elf, when he returned to his home stadium, exploded instantly.

5-1, the Suns lead.

The Phoenix home fans raised their arms and cheered on their heroes.

Winning the championship last year made Suns fans ecstatic.

Over the years, the Suns have had no shortage of superstars, but they have always missed out on a championship.

Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Nash and many more.

Finally, last year's Nash and Stoudemire brought a huge surprise to Suns fans and won the only championship in history!

Fans are never satisfied.

Although before the finals last year, many Suns fans said that as long as they won the championship this year, they would have fulfilled their wish.

But this year, they still hope that the Suns can make persistent efforts and win two consecutive championships, or even three consecutive championships!

That's the beauty of competitive sports.

Never stop, never say never!

The Warriors played awkwardly under the pressure of the Suns' home court.

Zhou Yang's poor hand felt even more shackled by the Warriors players.

At the end of the first quarter, the Suns took an eight-point lead.

31:23.

Zhou Yang scored 5 points on 2-of-4 shooting in the first quarter, and Curry scored 6 points on 2-of-6 shooting.

On the Suns' side, Nash scored 9 points and Xiao Si scored 12 points, playing extremely efficient.

The home fans were even more excited, the whole arena was shaking, and the Warriors players were under tremendous pressure.

Although the score fell behind a lot, Zhou Yang's mentality did not change much.

It's just that he's a little anxious, and he really doesn't feel good today.

Zhou Yang saw that his teammates were all frustrated, bowed his head and said nothing, so he laughed and teased them.

"What's wrong with you? The game has just started, if there is any frustration, just fight back in a while! ”

Curry blamed himself for getting a couple of open spots in the first quarter, but he just couldn't shoot, a little bit short.

At least two of the balls came out of the basket and were a bit unlucky.

"Second Brother Yang, I didn't play well just now, otherwise we wouldn't be behind......"

"Look at what you said, it's not your business alone, I don't play well, it doesn't matter, the away basket must be towards their own family, let's smash it, it's honest!"

Zhou Yang's ridicule made his teammates laugh.

The tension dissipated a lot.

Nelson Sr. also took the opportunity to pour a few large bowls of chicken soup, and the mood of the Warriors players improved.

At the start of the second quarter, Curry came off the bench.

Curry did what he said, and as soon as he got on the court, he singled out Carter with the ball and scored two points.

But the Suns' bench state is the same as the main team, they are too good, and they feel hot.

Immediately hit a small climax of 11:4 on the Warriors' bench.

Nelson Sr. watched from the sidelines and sighed.

Is it destined to be a game for the Suns?

In the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that can turn the tables from 0:3 down, so the whole Suns team has shown a desperate attitude.

Although Curry has increased his off-ball runs and shots, the Suns have become more and more defensive intensive.

With 4:32 left in the second quarter, the score came to 45:31 and the Suns led by 14 points.

The old Nelson had no choice but to call another timeout, ready to replace the main force on the court.

Before Zhou Yang came on the court, old Nelson put his arms around Zhou Yang's neck and whispered: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, we are facing the defending champion, as long as we guarantee that the series can be won!" ”

Old Nelson is as careful as a hair, and he knows Zhou Yang's character very well.

Zhou Yang is good anywhere, but there is one point, and he will be rewarded on the field!

Last year's defeat in the Western Finals made Zhou Yang linger, and the old Nelson knew it.

So he could see that Zhou Yang wanted to kill the sun with a stick.

But after all, they are the defending champions, and it is too difficult to sweep them.

Zhou Yang's poor opening hand is also related to this psychology, he wants to win too much, so he uses too much force.

Zhou Yang listened to the old man's words and nodded again and again, he understood the old man's good intentions.

"I understand, coach, don't worry! I know what to do. ”

The main players of both sides returned to the court and continued the second quarter of the game.

The Warriors attacked, and Zhou Yang held the ball in the backcourt.

Before reaching the halfway line, Zhou Yang passed the ball to Turkoglou, ran to the bottom corner himself, and made a gesture towards Turkoglu at the same time.

Although Zhou Yang didn't feel good today, the defenders still didn't dare to relax and followed him like a shadow.

When Turkoglou saw Chandler raise his hand for the ball, he immediately passed the ball over.

Without a center, the Suns could only watch Chandler play the basket and score two points.

Stoudemire has already committed 2 fouls, so he didn't dare to make a move this time.

The Warriors players seem to have just remembered-

yes, we have a center, they don't!
