Chapter 176: This Warriors team is too evil anyway!
In the second quarter of the game, Nash, Stoudemire, and Su Bei's three main players sat on the bench and watched the rotation of the lineup.
D'Antoni sent Kurt Thomas, Marion, Diaw, Laga Bell, and Barbosa.
Nelson has gone the way of the Suns, which obviously leaves the Suns with nowhere to go.
Don't ask, just ask seven people to rotate and control the main force.
The three outside cores: Davis, Jackson and Richardson continued to stay on the court, replaced by centers Andris Biedris and Michael Pietrus.
"In rotating the lineup, the Warriors also have the advantage over me!
Nelson may be able to suppress D'Antoni everywhere in terms of tactics and personnel adjustments.
It's not even possible. You have to know that for this reason, Nelson did not hesitate to field a five-small lineup, and even the outstanding performance of Zhong Biedris was put on the bench.
D'Antoni just played step by step, and seemed to take the Warriors seriously. After all, the Suns had won all three games in the first three games, so he really had the confidence not to take the Warriors seriously.
However, the Warriors have the reinforcements of Jackson and Harrington. You cannot look at this Warriors team through old eyes. The Suns were obviously caught off guard and did not pay attention to it. It is not surprising that they will fall behind in the score.
.”
In the second quarter of the game, Barbosa wanted to speed up and force a way, but Davis was not used to it. He got up close and engaged in physical confrontation, unable to get rid of Davis's defense. The Brazilian Lightning was also stubborn, resisting the defense and making strong shots.
The iron is deflected.
The Warriors counterattacked, Jackson received the ball, hit the basket, and scored two points.
The point difference between the two sides widened to 13 points.
Marion wanted to step forward, but Jackson used strong defense to prevent him from hitting the target.
It doesn't matter that there was no counterattack. Richardson and Davis played pick-and-roll tactics, and finally Richardson took the shot and returned the 3-pointer.
Swish——!
16 points!!
The game was one-sided, but fortunately, Diaw stepped up and scored two points with a two-point jumper, stopping the bleeding in time.
In the next 5 minutes, the two sides played back and forth. Diaw's unexpected explosion allowed the Suns to recover a point. The difference between the two sides was only 10 points.
The opportunity has come!
Naturally, D'Antoni was not satisfied with only chasing 1 point, and immediately replaced Nash, Stoudemire and Su Bei on the court.
Nelson also made a move, replacing Michael Pietrus with Matt Barnes, who excelled in defense, but still left the three core perimeter players unchanged.
Back on the court, Su Bei was a little thinner, and Barnes stuck to him, not giving him a chance to get the ball.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Nelson, as the head coach who trained Nash, is very clear about his instruction manual and arranges Nash's offense and defense properly.
On defense, he shrank and blocked his weakness in protecting the rim inside. At the same time, he also took advantage of the Suns' weakness in low-post offense and defended a zone defense strategy.
On the outside, the defense against Nash was equipped with Davis, a personal bodyguard, to press and defend him at any time, not giving Nash a chance to comfortably organize the pass.
Offensively, play as fast as you can, don't panic when you're in a positional battle, make a fuss about Nash's body, play singles on him, attack Nash when you're alone, and distribute the ball when you're flanked.
Nelson has two goals. One is to force the Suns and Warriors to compete on the perimeter.
Compared to what?
Of course it’s shooting!
The second is to lock Nash, the Suns' organizational brain, and force the Suns and Warriors to engage in individual isolations.
"Old Nelson's tactics to attack the Suns are not unique. The Spurs coached by Bo Povich have already figured out the Suns.
The difference between the Warriors and the Spurs is that while the Spurs interrupt the Suns' offensive rhythm, they fight for defense with the Suns, while the Warriors fight for offensive firepower, especially individual singles, and offensive firepower from the outside..."
In terms of structure, Nelson has gone further.
Add restrictions to the Suns' offense so that they cannot play their advantageous offense, but at the same time they do not refuse to compete with the Suns.
Naturally, Nash couldn't follow Nelson's wishes and started a pick-and-roll tactic with Stoudemire. Unfortunately, when the offensive opportunity came up, Stoudemire's shot was not online.
Bang-dang——!
If Stoudemire doesn't work, then look for Marion. As a result, Jackson is not afraid of mismatches. Davis is 1.91 meters tall and obviously is not afraid of mismatches. The Suns' physical advantage is not obvious. With the Warriors' mobility, the Suns can't overturn it.
Make waves.
In the 10th minute of the second quarter, Su Bei got a chance to take a shot and scored a three-pointer.
In the following time, even if the Warriors let Diaw open to attack, they would not give Su Bei a chance to shoot.
In positional warfare, everything is restricted, so increase your speed and rush forward to play fast breaks.
The Suns' offensive opportunities have obviously increased.
Subei also took advantage of the east wind to increase its score to 20 points in the first half.
However, the Warriors also thrive in run-and-gun battles. This kind of run-and-gun battle is also the Warriors' specialty. Even if the Suns play more smoothly, the advantage they can gain is not considerable.
.
Especially the offensive efficiency of Wu Sheng Jackson and Jason Richardson when they singled out Nash was too high. Jackson made 4 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He once again scored 10 points in a single quarter.
, even if Richardson only scored 7 points, he still suppressed the Suns in terms of offensive firepower.
In the second quarter, the Warriors beat the Suns by a score, taking a 14-point lead and entering the locker room to rest.
Rest for 15 minutes and come back for the second half of the game.
To be honest, a 14-point difference is really not a problem for the Suns' offensive rhythm of running and gunning for 7 seconds. It only takes a few minutes for the offensive state to be established.
However, Jason Richardson was so unreasonable. He was in such good shape that he hit two three-pointers, which completely stunned the Suns generals.
It's all convulsions, hard work, hard work, that time won't last.
The result! Richardson didn't talk about martial arts, but he persisted until the third quarter of the game, which was just over an hour. This is outrageous.
Su Bei stepped forward and exchanged shots with Richardson, but was still defeated. With the addition of Nash, he was able to withstand Richardson's firepower alone, and the game completely fell to the Warriors.
At the end of the first three quarters, the Warriors widened the point difference to 23 points.
That's it, the Warriors' generals don't have the benefit of clocking out for three quarters. In order to hit the playoff stage, they have to do everything. I ask you, can you withstand it?
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game is over.
According to the score, the Warriors defeated the Suns by 15 points and continued to build momentum for the playoffs.
Nash was targeted. He only played 30 minutes and scored 14 points and 9 assists. As the only ball-handling organizer, this data was not even enough to feed the cat.
Stoudemire's rebounding, no low-post attack, and too much reliance on Nash's assist ability, but he is useless, that is, he only has the temperament of a bully when dunking, but at other times, he is really not good.
The only good thing is that Su Bei scored 20 points in the first half and also played in the fourth quarter of the second half, raising his personal statistics to 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and broke his personal scoring record of 31 points, twice in a week.
After joining the Suns, he broke the scoring record too quickly, but it is not outrageous. It all depends on the support and support of his teammates.
Richardson made 8 of 13 three-pointers, no free throws, just throws from the outside and knocked down rebounds.
Jackson made 5 of 10 three-pointers and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 29 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, a near-triple-double performance.
Davis hit the ball and hit the rebound.
The Warriors' three core perimeter players scored a combined 86 points with only 10 minutes of rest. With such a performance, the Suns did not lose unfairly.
Su Bei is even thinking that this season, if the Warriors face the Suns in the playoffs, they will probably be a black eight or a black seven. Anyway, this Warriors team is too evil.
