Chapter 125 Shuhao leads the team, terrifying scoring explosiveness!
Shu Hao once again stepped onto the court and looked around, but could not find Nash.
It turned out that during the timeout, the Suns also replaced substitute players one after another.
At this time, their point guard was replaced by the talented Slovak player Goran Dragic.
The third-year pick gradually gained the trust of head coach Alvin Gentry this season and became the Suns' sixth man.
As soon as Shen Fei saw Dragic come on the stage, he knew something was going to happen.
In the original time and space, this talented guard would have been traded to the Rockets this year (for Brooks), but because of his appearance, this fate was strangled in the cradle.
In his previous life, Dragic briefly spent two years with the Rockets, then returned to the Suns, completed his transformation in Phoenix, and became an All-Star player.
In other words, Dragic's career achievements are higher than Jeremy Lin's.
However, he is a late bloomer, and he only started to realize his talent in the sixth season of his career.
Jeremy Lin, on the other hand, is a "fireworks type" player. He bursts into hot and brilliant flames in a short period of time, but then quickly dims.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he did not receive good training and wasted his best period.
And now, two very young point guards with full potential will have a head-to-head confrontation!
............
Rocket attack!
Jeremy Lin carries the ball through half court.
At this time, the teammates on the field are the same people who started with him.
Shuhao is very familiar with this lineup, and he also knows very well that he is the core of the offensive end of this lineup and has unlimited firing rights.
There is no need to worry about Big Brother's feelings and he can attack freely. This makes Brother Hao even more excited and ready to show off his skills!
In the first round, he called Tucker to step forward to pick and roll.
The latter quickly lifted up and set up a solid cover for him, firmly blocking Dragic behind him.
Shuhao seized the opportunity and accelerated to the inside. Facing the Suns inside defender, he leaned on the opponent with his right hand and turned around.
Brother Hao's turn was crisp and clean, without any sloppiness. He passed the opponent cleanly and immediately completed an underhand layup!
One minute later, Tucker defended Turkoglu's strong attack in the low post, intercepted the ball and handed it to Shu Hao on the side.
After Brother Hao got the ball, he lowered his head and started to advance at full speed.
Soon, he got rid of all the Suns players and went straight into the opponent's hinterland.
At this time, Dragic was chasing after Shuhao crazily.
He is not as fast as Brother Hao, but he still doesn't want to give up.
After exerting all his energy and traveling a long distance, Dragic finally caught up with Shuhao before he could even take three steps.
However, Brother Hao's dynamic talent goes beyond speed. His strength and explosiveness are also among the top among guards.
After colliding with Dragic's body, he relied on his strong core strength to maintain his center of gravity and succeeded in another layup.
Not only that, when the basketball falls into the net...
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded and Dragic committed a defensive foul.
Two points scored, plus a penalty!
"yes!!!"
Shuhao raised his arms and shouted, and his teammates behind him quickly arrived to celebrate with him.
"Sure, Jeremy!"
Teacher Tony ruffled the young man's hair, his eyes full of appreciation.
His physical talent is also good, but he has never been good at the offensive end.
There was no other way, Tony Allen had to find another way.
[Since I don’t understand offense, then others shouldn’t understand it either!]
With this idea, Teacher Tony has become a nightmare for many stars.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to have offensive capabilities.
Therefore, when Tony Allen saw that the young Jeremy Lin could achieve such scoring ability in less than half a year under his nose...
He was envious, but more than anything, he appreciated it.
Not only are his teammates happy for Shu Hao, but the fans are also very happy that the home team suddenly has such a new star.
Ever since, with the cheers of the whole stadium, Brother Hao walked to the free throw line and made the extra free throw steadily.
As soon as this goal was scored, the score reached 26:20, and the Rockets led by 6 points!
............
After Shu Hao scored 5 points in a row, Dragic felt that he had to respond!
As the successor of Nash selected by Suns fans, he has high demands on himself and has lofty goals!
For example, this year, Dragic's goal is to win the title of Best Sixth Man.
From next year to the year after that, he plans to officially take over the position of the Suns' starting point guard from Nash.
Such great ambition also illustrates Dragic's high ambition.
Because of this, Jeremy Lin scored points on him twice, which was unacceptable to him.
Therefore, after switching between offense and defense, Dragic decided to return the favor in his own way!
He first raised his right hand high to call on the Suns' backup center, Channing Frye, to set up a pick-and-roll, and then suddenly made a crossover to bypass the screen.
Shuhao was already on guard, and immediately turned sideways, stepped forward, and stuck his right foot between the two Suns players.
According to his expectation, as long as he grabs the screen next time, he can resolve the Suns' cover tactic.
But the next moment, Dragic, who had just finished dribbling, suddenly turned around and returned to the starting point again.
At this time, Shu Hao's center of gravity had shifted, and his right foot was stuck by Fry, making him unable to turn around quickly.
Dragic smiled slightly, accelerated and headed towards the inside of the Rockets.
And Anderson, the birdman who came out with Frye, quickly moved sideways, trying to keep up with Dragic's pace.
The Slovak defender knew that Anderson was good at blocking shots, so he chose the safest way - a high throw while moving!
This is the most common and most successful way for a small guard to deal with a big man in the paint.
However... Dragic still underestimated Anderson's jumping ability.
I saw the latter kicking off the ground with his left foot and rising into the air.
In the air, Anderson was like a big bird spreading its wings. With a wave of its wings, he managed to reach Dragic's throw with his fingertips.
The basketball encountered resistance and fell against the front edge of the basketball. Tucker jumped high and collected the backboard.
The Rockets quickly launched a counterattack.
This time, Shu Hao found his teammate who was about to leave - Danny Green.
The latter stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and threw the ball one step beyond the three-point line!
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a rainbow-like arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Hollow into the net!
At 29:20, under the leadership of Jeremy Lin, the Rockets had an 8-0 spurt, and their lead was approaching double digits!
Suns head coach Gentry knew the situation was not good and quickly called a timeout again!
