476.Are all high school students today so brave?

Nash advanced quickly, and the entire Suns team pressed forward. Payton, who was guarding the top arc, felt tremendous pressure.

The season is about to end, and the Suns' running and gunning has been recognized. This is indeed the most powerful offense in the NBA, and the Suns are also the team with the best record.

Gloves, who had danced with the gods on the highest stage, quickly suppressed this pressure and ordered his teammates to defend with curses.

The Suns did not counterattack, but after Nash fell into position, he picked and rolled with Marion and launched a small-scale rapid attack.

The little bully slid down the baseline to meet the challenge, rose up behind Randolph, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

Facing Nash, Payton withstood most of the defensive pressure, and the Trail Blazers' defense unfolded smoothly... Apart from not being able to defend, the Trail Blazers had no problems with their defense...

After scoring the goal, the bully stretched his neck, glared at Liu Xiu and ran back.

During the transition between offense and defense, Payton advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu continued to break through in singles. I recall that Big Q's defense in the Clippers was quite good back then. After coming to the Suns, he was almost finished playing for one season, and his defense was completely useless.

.

Liu Xiu easily broke into the mid-range and had a good opportunity to attack again from the previous round, but instead of making a sudden stop jump shot, he chose to go deep into the basket!

The Little Overlord immediately expanded outwards to block Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu made the ball!

Lob!

Kwame Brown scored two points with an alley-oop dunk!

The little bully's defense makes even D'Antoni, who doesn't know what defense is, look like a black question mark, leaving the opponent's center completely vacant. Is this serious?

D'Antoni can understand that the bully wants to target the warden, but even if he attaches great importance to defending Liu Xiu, it's not like this, right? No sense of defense at all?

The little bully used actual actions to prove that he did not...

When the Suns attacked, Nash continued to launch a pick-and-roll attack with Marion. This time, Kwame Brown switched to the big defense and the small defense. Randolph worked hard to follow the little bully. Nash passed the ball to Big Q.

Liu Xiu defended Big Q's long two-pointer and three-pointer. Big Q turned his back beautifully and passed Liu Xiu, then came to the left side of the three-second area and took a mid-range shot... It was iron!

Big Q’s mid-range shooting percentage this season is a terrible 14%! It’s completely unbelievable that this is a 37% shooting rate on long two-pointers, 36% on three-pointers, and averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game.

Long shot boss.

After Liu Xiu was passed, he saw Big Q make a sudden stop and hit the shot. He didn't even try to interfere. He went straight to the basket and just grabbed the defensive rebound.

Fight back!

Someone has said that the Suns have the potential to improve their defense. The Suns' defensive potential can be seen from the speed of retreat.

The Suns retreated quickly. Before retreating, Joe Johnson consciously fought against the outlaw to interfere with the latter's start, leaving Liu Xiu without the fastest contact point. Liu Xiu did not force a one-on-five, waiting for a quick start.

After the following teammates settled into formation, Liu Xiu continued to break through in singles!

The little bully continued to expand his defense. He firmly believed that Liu Xiu would definitely want to dunk him in retaliation for his early dunk.

Also, he believed that Liu Xiu would definitely want to score points when they played against them tonight. The coach did not arrange a defense specifically for Liu Xiu. He wanted to do this well, limit Liu Xiu's scoring, and surprise everyone...

Liu Xiu entered the free throw line, grabbed the ball, took three big steps, and took two large strides to reach the right side of the three-second zone close to the baseline. The little bully who expanded the defense followed closely. He felt that he was going to

Guard against Liu Xiu's 'European Step'!

Then, Liu Xiu passed again! A direct pass from the baseline. Kwame Brown took off after catching the ball and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

The fans at the scene were excited!

The warden is playing tricks on the stupid guy opposite!

The warden is already playing with this ball!

Seeing Liu Xiu's contemptuous smile and joking eyes when he retreated, the little bully was extremely ashamed and angry.

Now the little bully realized that Liu Xiu was just taking two steps to tease him.

When the Suns were on offense, the Bully got stuck in the low post with Kwame Brown and shouted at Nash: "Steve, give me the ball!"

Nash had no choice but to pass the ball in. The little bully still had to take care of his little temper.

The little bully slammed into Kwame Brown fiercely... he couldn't hold it back at all!

The bully turned around and walked to the baseline to force a shot... but was slapped on the backboard by Kwame Brown!

Pinboard hat!

Kwame Brown got the ball, and Bully tried to counterattack, but was called for a foul.

Kwame Brown's beautiful low defense won loud cheers from the fans at the scene.

Kwame Brown was surprised by this shot - are all other high school seniors so brave in the post? If there is no low post shot, do you have to force it?

In the first two games against the Magic, the second No. 1 center out of high school was like this. Once he got angry, he wanted to hit him with a back-up attack.

Indeed, the low post attack is the most domineering offensive method inside.

But you also have to be able to hit from behind!

Kwame Brown feels that he has the better chance. He has never done anything like this since he entered the NBA.

As for whether playing next to Jordan gives me the opportunity to do things that exceed my ability, that's not important.

When Liu Xiugang partnered with Kwame Brown, he could feel the difference between Kwame Brown and high school players such as Little Bully, Josh Smith, JR Smith, and Howard - the first high school student in NBA history.

The No. 1 pick rarely does things beyond his abilities. Jordan's high-pressure rule has allowed Kwame Brown to develop very good habits in this regard. Therefore, everything has two sides... as long as this kind of thing is not a fallacy.

When it comes to his warden, he can analyze it objectively and calmly.

6 to 2, relying on Kwame Brown's opening performance of 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 block, the Trail Blazers gained momentum!

When the Trail Blazers attacked again, Liu Xiu received a pass from Payton in the frontcourt and continued to play in singles.

This was different from what was planned at the beginning, but Randolph also chose to open up. The game always has to be adjusted according to the actual situation.

The little bully followed Kwame Brown closely, dunking twice and blocking a shot. The little bully hated the shame of this former high school rookie.

The little bully was determined. Liu Xiu put tying Kobe's 40+ times in the final game against the Lakers. He even associated this "ceremonial sense" with it.

Just so confident, the little bully is sure of his own judgment.

Suddenly, the little bully who was following Kwame Brown heard the cheers and screams of the fans at the scene suddenly increased, and an ominous premonition came... It was not a premonition, but a sense of impact was coming!

Liu Xiu passed the big Q and entered the inside. Marion came to the defense quickly. Liu Xiu used the European step to avoid Marion and came to close range. Unexpectedly, the little bully turned his back to him!

Of course Liu Xiu couldn't miss this good thing. He followed the inertia of the European step and took off, knocking back the little bully and smashing the ball into the basket!

The little bully who was detained had only one thought - the despicable warden was actually trying to sneak attack! You didn't buckle me when I was ready just now, and you would come in and buckle me if I wasn't paying attention!

Kwame Brown also cursed. He was having a happy fight with the bully. Liu Xiu rushed in this time. He didn't notice it and was also detained...

8 to 2, the Trail Blazers led by 6 points at the beginning! D'Antoni called a timeout!

…

Although the Suns' defense is poor, they don't just let the opponent score however they want. They still have a basic defensive goal. After all, they want to win.

It's just that they didn't expect Liu Xiu to play like this. They actually didn't care how many points Liu Xiu scored, and they didn't care at all about Liu Xiu breaking Kobe's record, but they were definitely prepared to use this to limit the Blazers as a whole.

Score.

It doesn't matter how much you can limit, as long as you limit the Blazers to score lower than them.

D'Antoni's understanding of winning and losing is similar to that of guard Bryant - when his team scores more than 110 points and the opponent scores less than 110 points, the game is won.

But Liu Xiu used his own threat to assist Kwame Brown, which made the Suns don't know how to defend, making the Suns' already poor defense even worse.

Forget it, the Suns' offense was also affected.

The young bully was toyed with by the warden while being applauded!

After entering the timeout, D'Antoni reminded the little bully to calm down and did not make any adjustments. He only played for two minutes. There was nothing to adjust on the offensive end. As for the defensive end, during the preparation training, there were assistant coaches to practice defense and the amount of training.

It doesn't quite meet the team's normal needs. When it comes to defense during the game, D'Antoni has always had the attitude of 'you decide what to do'.

D'Antoni's actions gave him the feeling of a bully, calling a timeout specifically to scold him.

Objectively speaking, this is exactly what D'Antoni did during the timeout.

Ever since, after the timeout, Xiaobawang's performance not only did not improve, but he even became more self-centered.

For the Trail Blazers, there were not many adjustments on the offensive end, but Bzdelik caught the little bully in defense and developed a defense around this point.

Bzdelik's defensive vision is incredible, and his ability to seize opportunities is also extremely strong. Relying on his adjustments, the Trail Blazers continued their 8-2 momentum at the beginning. By the time of the official timeout in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led by 17

Leading the Suns by 9 points from 8! The Suns only scored 6 points in 4 minutes!

After the official timeout came back, the Suns' offense still didn't improve. D'Antoni lasted for another 3 minutes. At 9 minutes and 11 seconds into the first quarter, he couldn't help it anymore. He had always played the entire first quarter unless there was a foul crisis.

The Bully came off and was replaced by Steven Hunter.

At this time, the score has reached 12-22, and the Suns are 10 points behind!

Replacing the Bully with Steven Hunter will significantly improve the Suns' defense. After all, he is a serious rim-protecting center, but his offense has plummeted by more than one level.

But that's just a theory. The current actual situation is that by replacing the Bully with Steven Hunter, the Suns have significantly improved on both offense and defense!

In the last 2 minutes and 49 seconds, the Suns and Trail Blazers played back and forth, scoring 8-7, narrowing the point difference to single digits.
Chapter completed!
