After the timeout, the Nuggets made no substitutions.

In fact, it can be said that no one can replace it.

What the Nuggets did this past summer, in addition to the four-way deal, was to let go of Jones and Abrams on the back line, renew Carter's contract, and then use the 25th overall pick in this year's draft to pick Wei Wei.

En Ellington.

If Bell is not injured, this operation will be no problem at all. It will ensure the strength of the backcourt and increase the depth, which can even be regarded as A-level.

But problems arose after Bell was injured. No one can replace his role on the defensive end.

After the timeout, Anthony turned his back to claim the position!

Lin Ying's continuous dunks made him feel full of provocation.

However, he failed to catch the ball in his first attempt to gain position!

Hill saw the right moment and snatched the ball away!

It may be a little unbelievable to say that this Jordan successor, who was highly praised by Stern at the beginning, turned into a defensive hero when he was about to retire!

For this kind of super talented player, as long as they want to defend, they can play good defense.

Similar examples include Durant and Tracy McGrady.

Hill passed the ball to Nash immediately, and the Suns immediately launched a fast break and pushed forward in a V-shape.

Billups commanded and mobilized the Nuggets to retreat quickly, but the Suns did not get a direct scoring opportunity.

But Nash started to show off. He suddenly slowed down and seemed to stop to regroup, but suddenly turned around and headed towards the basket.

Billups was stunned and it was too late to pursue him.

Fortunately, Anthony has also retreated and jumped up to chase the hat.

Then...Nash passed.

The ball was directly hit by Lin Ying who was following up.

Just when the fans thought Lin Ying was going to score three times at the basket, Billups quickly made up the defense.

This experience and judgment, confirmed by the eyes, is a former FMVP.

Then... Lin Ying also passed it on!

Stoudemire arrived late, but at the right time.

Huashan: Stop hitting me!

"Bang!"

Stoudemire's two-handed slam dunk!

The basket trembled.

After all, I still didn’t escape being poured in again!

Stoudemire roared with excitement again after landing.

Those goggles look even more domineering.

After he finished yelling, there was an unstoppable smile on his face.

When your team has a good passer, you will feel very happy.

When your team has two excellent passers, it is a joy that others cannot imagine!

This is also the difference between Stoudemire and Anthony.

He prefers to play without the ball!

8 to 4.

The opening five attacks ended in four, one pick-and-roll, one misplaced single and two defensive counterattacks.

Most of the ball was still in Nash's hands, but Lin Ying's mismatched singles tactics were integrated without leaving a trace.

In the case of huge changes in the lineup, the team's offense can be adjusted to this extent through the preseason. Gentry's offensive level is indeed something.

Anthony finally got the ball.

He directly turned his back and attacked Hill.

Although he has not received the same guidance from Buckley as Lin Ying, he has his own understanding of the application of big butts.

And his improvement in confrontation has indeed made him more comfortable in singles.

I saw him arch his butt, then turn around and shoot a jumper.

This coincides with what Buckley taught Lin Ying before.

In terms of singles skills, especially mid-range singles skills, Anthony is fully worthy of the name of offensive kaleidoscope.

Hill's interference slowed things down a little.

"Whoa!"

Anthony's shot hit steadily!

After scoring the goal, Anthony tapped his head with three fingers and his eyes turned to Lin Ying unconsciously.

That look was a silent response.

But before he finished tapping with three fingers, he saw a ball flying past his eyes.

Suns, hit the fast break with a long throw from the backcourt!

Others are playing defensive counterattacks, but the Suns are more straightforward. When you score, they play fast!

In the blink of an eye, the Suns' frontcourt was three against two.

It's Nash again, breaking through the middle to attract the defense and directly score Richardson in the bottom corner.

Classic V-shaped offense.

Richardson's open three-point opportunity, he adjusted before taking the shot.

His shooting movement is very light, and the trajectory of the ball is very positive. At first glance, he looks like the player who has played with Nash.

"Whoa!"

The three-point shooter makes a move!

After scoring the goal, Richardson made his iconic cute gesture of banging his head with both hands, which once again detonated the Aviation Center Arena.

The Suns were on fire in the first quarter!

"What did I say? Lord Barker has always been the one with the most accurate predictions!"

In the commentary box, Barkley looked proud.

What could make him happier than succeeding in pretending!

Kenny Smith touched his chin at this time with a suspicious look on his face.

"How did you know?"

He now seriously doubts that Barkley has been to the Suns training camp again.

"That's necessary. They've been training all summer. How could it be possible..."

Halfway through his words, he saw Smith's evil smile.

I accidentally jumped into the pit.

"Okay, the Suns have a chance to compete for a championship."

He did not continue talking, but suddenly changed the topic.

Before he finished speaking, Smith immediately burst out laughing.

Barkley tried to say something, but was interrupted several times by Smith's laughter.

"Okay, let's not discuss what kind of opponent the Suns will face. Let's talk about it itself. How many minutes can they maintain such an offense?"

Smith looked at Barkley seriously.

Bang bang bang!

Nine minutes into the first quarter, the score was 30 to 20.

The Nuggets scoring 20 points without finishing a quarter is not a bad offense, but the Suns have already scored 30 points!

As Barkley laughed, Smith reached out and touched his face.

The person who got slapped in the face tonight was not Barkley, but Smith!

Unconventional, the program is very effective!

The Suns fans at the scene felt like they were "back to youth".

The dazzling and stormy Suns team back then is back!

And you can fully feel their desire from the way the Suns attack.
