Sun Hao turned his head when he heard the sound and frowned slightly.

He didn't have much impression of Tim Thomas.

The only impression is similar to that of others, it comes from the words he said after he wanted to come to the Lakers and was rejected, "You will regret it."

When I heard this again, I felt a little owed!

Payton held the ball to the frontcourt, and Sun Hao reached out to pass the ball.

He was not angry with Thomas' words because... it doesn't make any sense for you to be angry if you are not on the court.

The problem now is that the Lakers have to send the ball into the basket.

The offense and defense in that round just now showed that the Suns' counterattack efficiency was one level higher than that of the Warriors.

In this case, the Lakers need to suppress the rhythm even more.

Or in other words, they need to ensure the success rate of the offense.

Sun Hao saw that the Suns did not have double-team, and faced Pitrus' continuous shaking, then turned around and broke through.

The biggest change in this Suns compared to history is that the starting point guard changed from Laga Bale to Pitrus.

The two have different body shapes and defense methods, but the same ones are defensive players.

However, one-on-one, it is still a bit difficult for them to guard against Sun Hao.

But just as Sun Hao turned around and finished, he looked up and saw that Marion's assisted defense had arrived!

Many people may not know much about Marion, and their understanding of him is more about his ugly shooting posture.

Indeed, Marion has some shortcomings.

The ugly posture brings a not-so-stable three-point shooting percentage and personal ball-holding ability generally make him unable to become the top superstar.

But apart from these two points, Marion possesses other abilities that are all-star.

Top-level empty cutting awareness, finishing ability, running position, top-level speed and bounce in the forward position, can be from the second position to the fifth position to the top-level single defense and cooperative defense capabilities...

It's hard to imagine a 2.01-meter-long small forward with 8+ rebounds in most of his career, or even 10+ for several seasons.

Moreover, in addition, he can also make 2+ steals and 1.5+ blocks per game!

If these data were placed on Draymond Green, Green could make himself the number one inside player in NBA history.

Because of the light of Nash and Stoudemire, many people are prone to ignore his existence.

But when you really meet him on the field, you can't ignore him no matter what.

Sun Hao tried to speed up directly over Marion, but Pitrus had already come from behind.

Moreover, both of these guys have long arm spans, blocking his shooting and passing routes.

He had no choice but to turn around and dribble through the double team, and dribble back to the three-point line.

Although the ball was not lost, more than half of the attacking time had been wasted.

The Suns' defensive strength can be seen.

Moreover, after trying this offensively, it is difficult to ensure success rate if you want to catch Nash.

When Nash was still in the Warriors, no one could help him wipe his butt, but now in the Sun, four people lined up to wipe him!

However, Sun Hao's reaction was also very fast, and he raised his hand and asked O'Neal to pull it to the high position for the pick-and-roll.

O'Neal is now physically limited, and it is the most energy-saving thing to keep him at the basket and not come out on the offensive end.

But the current situation is not the time to consider those things.

O'Neal mentioned the high position, and Sun Hao took advantage of the cover to take action in the middle distance.

O'Neal was already a big guy, but after he became fat, he became bigger, like a meat mountain.

Pitrus felt that he could not go around, but in fact he could only hit the mountain of meat.

Moreover, Sun Hao made a single shot, and Marion didn't have time to assist in defense.

"Swish!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

The Lakers finally broke the scoring drought on the field!

After Sun Hao scored the goal, he slapped O'Neal with high fives and knew how to play this Suns team the most suitable one.

Nash continued to play pick-and-roll with Sir Jr. This time the Lakers contracted, and Nash changed hands behind his back and sent the ball to the bottom corner.

Marion received the ball over there and showed off his slightly ugly shooting posture.

"Swish!"

It's ugly, but the ball is still shot!

Not very stable means that the fluctuations are relatively large, and it does not mean that there is no three-point ability.

In fact, in the third and fourth year of his career, it was this ugly posture. Marion shot nearly 40% of his three-point shooting percentage for two consecutive seasons.

Even though the shooting rate has declined in recent years, it has reached nearly one-third.

7 to 2!

The Suns are opening the score!

Sun Hao’s prediction before the game was correct. The Suns are their most difficult opponent to play in the playoffs so far!

"I have to say that the combination of this team is so perfect."

In the commentary seat, Barkley couldn't help but speak.

Although he is still Sun Chui, he is also a famous person in the Sun.

Kenny Smith, who was standing beside him, nodded seriously.

The Suns were able to go from countdown to a championship team last season, and then to the combination of offense and defense this season, which was not the sole credit of D'Antoni or Nash.

But as Barkley said, these players are so perfectly matched.

Marion’s biggest disadvantage is that he can’t hold the ball, but when he gets to Nash, he doesn’t need to hold the ball to attack!

The same is true for Stoudemire. His ball holding is even more disaster-prone than Marion, but around Nash, he is more like a fish in water as a tactical starting point!

Then back to Nash, he couldn't find his strong teammates in the Warriors, but in the Suns, he was all powerful players!

Not to mention that there is a panacea Boris Dior sitting on the Suns bench.

However, if the Lakers are either easily defeated, it would be underestimating the combination of Lakers and Instant Killing.

Fans had felt that the Lakers were not exerting their strength before, but they couldn't say where it was.

But in the next round, they soon discovered the problem.

In previous games, in order to save O'Neal's lack of physical strength, Sun Hao and O'Neal were using their respective abilities to solve problems.

When playing against the Spurs, O'Neal focused more on the defensive end, while Sun Hao killed all sides on the offensive end;

When playing against the Warriors, O'Neal has an absolute advantage in the interior, and Sun Hao will play more restraints on the outside;

But now, the instant kill combination has reappeared, and Sun Hao and O'Neal have begun to play pick-and-roll continuously!

The Suns are prepared this time, and Thomas can't catch up, so Marion assists in defense in advance.

Because the two teams had never played in the playoffs before, Sun Hao was not so impressed by Marion's assisting defense ability, so he was a little inadequate in the previous round.

But now he had already made a prediction, and after disassembling it, he was looking towards the bottom corner.

Seeing that Ariza was empty, he knew that Marion was on the way to assist in defense.

A quick pass, the quality of the pass is not better than that of Payton, but the victory is that there is an advance amount.

It was too late for Marion to help defend again.

Stoudemire hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to rush to the bottom corner.

Because O'Neal did not stay in place after the pick-and-roll, but had moved to the basket.

Ariza got a rare large open space. He adjusted his breathing, glanced at the frame before taking action.

Compared to the ball in front, the ball's trajectory and strength are much better.

"Swish!"

The result of this change is that basketball is coming to the Internet!

7 to 5!

The difference, it's back!

"This is Sun's ability. If you want to beat the Lakers easily, there is no way!"

Barkley shouted in the commentary seat.

Although he is a celebrity in the Suns team, he is on Sun Hao.

The Sun Legend? Sorry, I'm a 76-person celebrity!
