Chapter 316: The Battle for the Sun's Home Turf
Suns offense.
Nash dribbled past half court and was about to play a pick-and-roll.
The Warriors hula ran over with three people and directly surrounded Nash and Stoudemire.
This is Zhou Yang's on-the-spot command!
Now that the Suns have given up on center, the Warriors have only one Chandler in the restricted area, and everyone else is on the perimeter.
Nash was in a hurry, but Curry made a lightning shot, snap!
The ball was broken.
Nash rushed to counter-steal, but he knocked Curry down, and the referee's whistle blew for a foul on Nash.
Gentry had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and he noticed that the Warriors seemed to be waking up.
The Warriors serve a sideline ball and fall into a positional battle.
Zhou Yang continued to crouch in the bottom corner and let Turkoglu hold the ball.
Just when the Suns thought the Warriors were going to play inside, Chandler suddenly ran over and helped Zhou Yang block Richardson.
Zhou Yang took the opportunity to run without the ball and hit the basket, and Tekoglu directly passed an air relay.
Stoudemire pounced to make up for the defense, but Zhou Yang was too fast, and Tekoglu's pass was very exquisite, and the landing point of the ball was very beneficial to Zhou Yang.
Bang!
After Zhou Yang received the ball, he directly dunked it, and at the same time, Xiao Si's hand also hit his arm.
Honk!
The referee's whistle blew and blew a foul on Xiao Si's beater!
2+1!
Zhou Yang made a combo in a bad hand and scored 4 points, as well as a free throw!
The Suns' home fans are confused, are the Warriors going to rise again?
Now the Suns still have a 10-point lead.
This point difference is too unsafe.
Zhou Yang walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw!
45:36!
The Warriors chased the margin to single digits, 9 points!
Gentry was in a hurry and yelled on the sidelines: "Speed up! We are not tall enough, speed up! ”
The Suns players on the court smiled bitterly in their hearts.
How to speed up, the Warriors' defense suddenly expanded, not giving the Suns players a chance to react at all.
Grant Hill was still a little more experienced, and he walked over to Nash and muttered a few words.
The Suns attacked, and Nash was again covered at the top arc when he saw Grant Hill cut into the edge of the box.
The Warriors' defense is obviously guarding inside and outside the three-point line.
Then the middle position is an absolute good opportunity, and Grant Hill grabbed that opportunity.
After receiving the ball, Grant Hill pulled it straight away, and hey!
In the end, it is an old star, and the mid-range shot is really stable.
The margin is back to 11 points.
Warriors offense.
Turkoglu held the ball again, and Zhou Yang and Curry ran without the ball.
Just when the attention of the Suns defenders was on the Splash Brothers and Chandler, Turkoglu suddenly made a quick lateral move to get rid of Stoudemire and make a three-point shot!
Turkoglu didn't shoot for half a day, and the Suns players seemed to have forgotten that the agent was also a scorer!
Swish!
Although the first quarter was not in good shape, the Warriors players in the second quarter found confidence.
Three-point hit!
Zhou Yang was very excited, he rushed over and yelled at Tekoglu.
It was a very important goal and it showed that the confidence of his teammates was back!
Since last year's loss, Zhou Yang has been working hard to improve the team's chemistry, hoping that his teammates can withstand the pressure in the playoffs.
Now it seems that the results are still obvious.
After the first quarter went bergeome, the rest of the Warriors players quickly returned to normal.
At 47:39, the margin returned to 8 points.
What Gentry feared most was that the Warriors were in full bloom, so he had to call a timeout.
Zhou Yang was very satisfied with the rounds just now, and he bumped his chest with his teammates one by one to celebrate, roaring!
"Brothers, just fight like this, don't think about the result of the game first, just play out what we trained!"
It's a good idea to keep that mentality away from home.
Zhou Yang knows very well in his heart that the strength of his teammates is not weak, but it is the first time that everyone has gone so far in the playoffs and has no experience.
If you can win the championship this year, then every step of the way will be a great asset!
Zhou Yang didn't let go of any details, he was always thinking about pinching the whole team together and shaping the warriors into a champion division!
After the timeout, the Suns made another adjustment, and Haywood returned to the court.
Just now, the Warriors grabbed the inside line and played a few in a row, which made the Suns suffer a lot.
So Gentry had to switch to center again.
On the Warriors' side, there were no substitutions, but Zhou Yang kept staring at the lineup on the Suns' side.
Seeing that Heywood had been replaced on the other side, Zhou Yang immediately pulled Turkoglu and Curry to his side and whispered a few words.
The game continues, and the Suns attack.
After half time, Nash stepped forward to cover again.
The Warriors can't wrap it up because Haywood has a little bit of offensive ability.
Nash took advantage of the cover to kill near the paint area, saw Xiao Si cut in from the right, and immediately shoved the ball straight over!
After Xiao Si received the ball, he only dribbled the ball and immediately took off, ready to dunk violently!
Who knows, at the moment when he received the ball, a pair of big hands firmly grasped the ball.
Xiao Si, as a big forward, has a lot of strength, and when he saw someone grabbing the ball with him, he burst into his arms and pulled it into his arms!
But he pulled twice, and the other party didn't move!
Zhou Yang?
Xiao Si thought it was Chandler at first, but he didn't expect it to be Zhou Yang!
Zhou Yang squatted slightly with his legs, adopted the posture of squatting and stepping, and firmly grasped the basketball with his two big hands, not giving Xiao Si a chance to collect the ball at all.
The referee saw that both of them were red-faced, worried that they would fight, and blew the whistle continuously!
Doodoo Doodoo......
Then, the referee raised the thumbs of both hands and signaled the two to fight for the ball!
The Suns players were very annoyed that it was supposed to be a must-score, but it was turned into a scrum by Zhou Yang.
Although Xiao Si is half a head taller than Zhou Yang, Xiao Si is not sure that he can fight for this ball.
Because Zhou Yang's bullet speed is too fast, and he is a chicken thief.
The two stood on either side of the free-throw line and squatted slightly.
The referee tossed the ball high and Smalls jumped hard and flicked the ball towards Grant Hill.
Because only on that side, Hill has the advantage in height, and he is next to Barbossa.
Who knows, Zhou Yang is the same as Xiao Si jumping ball at the beginning, he didn't jump at all, but predicted his prediction in advance!
Zhou Yang ran directly to Grant Hill and jumped suddenly.
After all, Hill is old, and his bullet speed has dropped a lot, plus Zhou Yang has enough strength.
The two fought in the air, Hill was directly bounced away, and Zhou Yang stretched out his big hand and easily grabbed the ball in his hand.
Xiao Si saw that Zhou Yang really grabbed the ball, and roared angrily.
Zhou Yang whistled at Xiao Si with a grin, and then threw the ball to Curry.
Curry started quickly, and the moment Hill pounced, he distributed the ball to Barbossa!
The Brazilian Lightning lived up to the efforts of the Splash Brothers, hitting the basket and scoring a layup!
The Suns' timeout has failed!
