Chapter 178: When it comes to offense, the Suns dare to say that everyone here is a jerk!
During the Pistons' offensive round, Su Bei kept an eye on Hamilton in his defensive area for a while.
When Hamilton was about to slip away and run to other defensive areas, Su Bei was not used to him and no longer paid attention to his offense. Instead, he moved to the side with the ball to compress the offensive space.
"The Suns' mobility is still good, and they can indeed let Hamilton swim under their noses. The key is Nash's matchup defense. He was beaten again.
He was always the one injured. Su Bei went to rescue him. Billups couldn't pass the ball with his back, so he retreated to the three-point line, glanced at Hamilton, and suddenly, he jumped up from the ball and raised his hand to release a three-pointer.
Cold arrow..."
Nash was stunned and caught off guard. He could only stare and stretched out his hand.
Bang-dang——!
The basketball shot missed.
Billups still hasn't changed, he's still the same boy as before... no, he's the same 'Tie Lou'.
Last season Billups was at his peak level in three-point shooting, averaging 43% from the field. But this season, it has dropped again, to only 34%, a drop of almost 10 percentage points.
"The rebound was grabbed by Webber. Not to mention his bravery in the past, if I have to mention it, Webber 8 years ago was the rebounding leader with an average of 13 rebounds per game. Even Garnett couldn't beat him. Marion was only 2 meters tall.
01, It’s still too much of a disadvantage.
After landing, Webber turned his back and looked for a second opportunity to attack, and Marion followed him up.
Weber passed the ball, his skills are so versatile, he can score by himself, and he can also coordinate the pass. Prince rushed in, received the ball, stepped on the penalty area, and jumped up..."
Bang-dang——!
One-handed dunk and scored two points.
5 to 6!
"With Marion and Stoudemire, who are as tall as a dragon and a phoenix in the paint, protecting the rebounds is a trap. It is simply impossible to defend against Prince who is 2.06 meters tall and rushes to the basket.
Lagabell can defend a technical forward and can use ruthless force and dirty tricks to deal with it. For the little prince with outstanding physical talent, it is too difficult. He can't defend him!"
Height is also a kind of talent. The Suns are too partial in this subject. They can't grab the board or protect the basket. It's no one's fault. I should have prepared for this!
"Marion started from the bottom line quickly, Nash launched a whirlwind fast break, and Billups continued to want to slow down the offensive rhythm. He stood in front of Nash, stretched out his hands and feet, trying to pass Nash's running hit to the ground.
Block the ball, even if it is illegal to use your feet..."
boom--!
Nash performed like a superstar MVP in running and gunning. He naturally has something on offense and is not as stretched as he is on defense.
When the basketball was in Laga Bell's hands, Prince could run. He was very athletic and rushed over like a spider. Laga Bell passed the ball to Su Bei like he was hitting a wall.
The baton came to Su Bei's hands, and with a little luck, Hamilton rushed over. Su Bei didn't blindly beat Jiba. He pushed with both hands, banged, and passed the ball to the middle.
"Playing next to Nash, a pig can learn simple passes. This is a bit rude, but the truth is not crude.
For those who can play in the NBA, there is nothing to brag about with this level of passing.
Passing is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Stoudemire ran too fast. How did he do it?
So sharp!
The little bully kept up with the defender, threw Rashid away by a long distance, rushed to the middle, caught the ball, took one step, jumped up in two steps, and performed a Huashan-style one-handed chop...
…”
Bang-dang——!
The basket was trembling. Stoudemire received Su Bei's assist and dunked like a bomb, scoring two points.
7 to 6!
"The 34-year-old Weber has just passed halftime, and the 33-year-old Rasheed is just close to the three-point line. If the Suns attack speed is slower, Marion, who is responsible for serving, will also come back in time. By then, the Suns will be playing 5 games.
3 offensive situation.
The Suns were so terrifying when they were running!
If the speed increases, the Pistons' height advantage will no longer be good, but will become the most lethal link on defense."
Defensively, the Suns are indeed afraid of height, but when switching offense and rushing at speed, height is useless and useless.
Next, the game was back-and-forth, with both sides making a fuss about their own advantages, and no one could do anything to their opponent.
Hamilton is at his peak, averaging 20 points, 3.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game. With these statistics, in front of the four shooting guards, he doesn't even have the confidence to speak louder. He doesn't take his dog with him when he goes out, fearing that the fans will come up and scratch him.
But if Hamilton is allowed to attack at will, will he really be disadvantaged by the big knife nicknamed the "Central Shooting King"?
Zone switching?
Outstanding mobility?
It was no use, Hamilton ran like crazy and frequently used his good catch-and-shoot skills to teach the Suns' defense how to behave.
You don't let Hamilton do his job and teach him how to do things?
No, he has to be a shit stick. Even if the Suns don't follow suit, he can still be a shit stick. He can catch the ball to attract the defense, and then pass the ball, putting the Suns' defense into a situation where they care about one thing and lose the other.
.
He can provide cover for his teammates, and he can play more or less in certain areas, and he can always find his presence as a troublemaker. Anyway, he can be a brick on the court and run wherever needed.
It is indeed a bit outrageous to let a scorer who averages 20 points per game urinate anywhere... no, attack anywhere.
Billups can deal the cards comfortably. Even if the offensive opportunity arises and they fail to score, they can still fight for offensive rebounds and conduct a second offense.
The Pistons' offense is firing on all cylinders.
Compared with the offense, the Suns with Nash can say loudly: everyone here is a jerk.
When they run fast, Rashid and Weber are like crouching dragons and phoenixes.
Their inside lineup looks luxurious, but it's actually aging too badly.
McDyess is 34 years old and Dale Davis is 38 years old.
Muhammad is young, but he is too weak.
If the speed can't keep up, no matter how great the defensive skills and system are, they are nothing more than paper tigers.
Even if the Suns occasionally fail to pick up speed and fall behind in positional battles, the Suns' diamond tactics are enough to give the Pistons a hard time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sitting at home, Stoudemire and Marion's shooting touches in the first quarter tonight were both on the same level.
Lagabell's shooting is terrible, but Su Bei's shooting is very stable.
After the first quarter, when the Pistons had sufficient physical strength, they could more or less keep up with the Suns' offensive speed. They did not allow the Suns' running and gunning to be fully utilized. They relied on multiple opportunities to grab rebounds and second offense to win.
1 point lead.
That's it?
1 point?
In front of the Suns, this score is nothing, not even enough to feed the cat.
In the second quarter, D'Antoni obviously lost his style. He actually asked Nash, Stoudemire, Su Bei and Marion to take a rest. The seven-man rotation that was agreed upon was going to be the main force.
Why were Kurt Tomari, Diaw, James Jones, Laga Bell and Barbosa sent?
Don’t ask: Ask because people have to grow.
Every experience has gained wisdom. It's already the end of March and our record is second in the league. Theoretically, there is a chance to catch up with the number one player in the league, but that's just a theory.
The Suns have won three consecutive games, and the Mavericks have also been on a winning streak recently. They hardly lose, so what can they do to catch up?
The Pistons are in the Eastern Conference, and there is a risk of injury. What's the point of still trying to win two games?
When you should be fighting quietly, you still have to restrain yourself.
After all, the team owner is nothing. He doesn't care about money, and he doesn't understand the game. He just gave D'Antoni a target: If the Suns can't win the championship this game, it will be a failed season!
Bosses who don’t understand football won’t give him a chance to survive. Naturally, D’Antoni won’t please the fans. He’ll only care about the main force. If one or two of them get injured, he’ll still be fighting for the championship!
The Suns are struggling, but the Pistons can't afford to waste away. The Cavaliers, led by James, are still closely following them and can replace the Pistons as No. 1 in the Eastern Conference at any time.
Billups, Hamilton and Prince continued to play, with Antonio McDyess and Ronald Murray coming off the bench.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Suns' offense quickly stalled.
Barbosa only knows how to go to the basket and use speed to break through. Billups is indeed afraid of point guards who use speed to break through.
In theory, Barbosa's offensive style is better than Billups'.
It's just a pity that the Pistons have a defensive system where teammates can cover up. Billups is at his peak and has some skills. Even if he is not good at dealing with speedy point guards, it is impossible to use his speed to eat him alive.
So easy to implement.
Bang-dang——!
Barbossa was killed.
The Suns' defense is terrible. Now they can't attack or defend. The rhythm of the game is completely in the hands of the Pistons.
After 6 minutes, the Suns were already 7 points behind.
At this time, D'Antoni couldn't sit still and replaced the main players.
At this time, the Suns' lineup became Stoudemire, Marion, Diaw, Su Bei and Nash.
