Chapter 180: Zhan is not a lynx that can be bullied by everyone!
March 30, Time Warner Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the road leading to the Bobcats' home court was brightly lit and busy with traffic.
Inside the arena, there was about to be a game against the Suns, and the seats were packed. It was like a huge crowd.
The Bobcats are arguably the team most affected by the butterfly effect.
Paul was drafted in 2005 and Roy was drafted in 2006.
In addition, he acquired boxing champion Chandler and All-star shooter Stojakovic in the free market.
At this time, this Bobcats team is no longer a bad team that can be bullied by everyone, but a young team with overflowing talents and full potential.
In three years, just three years, Jordan showed his strength and told others that he was a god when he played basketball, and he was also a god when he was not playing basketball and as a manager.
With the growth of Gerald Wallace and the fact that No. 2 Okafor was not injured due to weight gain in 2004, the Bobcats have already achieved a negative record this season and have secured a ticket to the playoffs. In addition, they are in the Southeast Division minor league.
With a superior internal record, the Bobcats have actually secured the top three spots in the Eastern Conference.
During the warm-up, Su Bei chatted with Paul about a few cents. At this time, Paul already had the status of a superstar. There were not many topics to talk about. It was just that Paul touched the floor of the Western Conference finals... No, it was the East.
Determine flooring and the like.
Nash also chatted with Stojakovic for a while. As a representative player of the 1996 golden generation, there is still a lot to talk about.
At this time, the lineups for both teams tonight were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
Five members of the Suns, Stoudemire, Marion, Su Bei, Laga Bell, Nash.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Barkley partnered with Kenny Smyr for commentary.
"Michael doesn't know how to play basketball at all, and his talent selection skills are absolutely terrible. He's not handsome, but just because he's the boss and has hundreds of millions of dollars...
I am really not convinced by Michael, but I don’t know why, he always succeeds, I feel like I have been living in his shadow, and I can suppress him in the gambling game..."
"Okay, let's not talk about our feelings about the failure. Let's talk about the game. Which team do you think will win?"
“Towards the end of the season, the Suns and the Bobcats, it’s not surprising which team will win, it depends on their fighting spirit.
The Suns have almost no desire for anything. They are not sure of being ranked first, but they are sure of being ranked second. Their goal is the playoffs. As long as the players in the upcoming schedule are not injured, they can accept it.
This battle is a back-to-back away game. No team would take the risk to fight for the bayonet!
So, I bet the Suns will win this game?"
"What?
The weather, the right location, the people...the Suns are all at a disadvantage, but you actually think the Suns will win?
Shouldn't the Bobcats win the game? Is it just because the Bobcats are Michael's team?"
"No!
I am optimistic about the Suns, not because I have been in the Suns before, nor because the Bobcats belong to Michael, but because, precisely because the Suns do not care about winning or losing in this game, they will have no pressure, in this mentality
If you take a shot, do you think it is possible, the Suns' offense will explode..."
"..."
The game has begun.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, there was no suspense. Chandler, who was 2.16 meters tall, defeated Stoudemire and put the basketball in Paul's hands.
Like a tide, Su Bei followed Gerrard into the backcourt.
"In the first round, the Bobcats attacked, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Nash was defending in front of him. This was an opportunity. Paul accelerated his breakthrough, changed direction while traveling, and passed Nash...
Nash was outplayed, Stoudemire made a save and flew away, Chandson flew up, and the basketball also flew into his hands..."
Bang-dang——!
With breakthrough points and alley-oops, the Bobcats easily opened their scoring account.
0 to 2!
Nash's face was calm.
Subei has also adapted to this situation of losing points.
From the moment the Bobcats score a goal, they immediately rush to the frontcourt. Attack is the last word.
As long as you score more points than your opponents and pay homage to Nash's defense, there's no problem.
"The Suns rushed forward, and Paul pressed hard to control the rhythm of the offense.
In the first round, Nash chose to be more prudent and did not play the ultimate 7-second run. The game was a positional battle and the formation was stretched."
In other words, Nash is seen as a flaw in the Suns, and Paul is also seen as a flaw.
As a sophomore, he is still 183. No matter how you look at it, Nash is a good matchup against Paul.
In front of Su Bei, Gerald was standing, so naturally he would not hit him.
"Nash was at the top of the arc. After observing it, he called a screen tactic and Stoudemire pulled him into the corner.
Huh--!
What happened, Nash suddenly jumped up from the ball, raised his hand for a three-pointer, and shot a fadeaway jumper..."
Being tricked, Paul reacted very quickly. He didn't jump up high to bet that his height could block the shot. He rushed to Nash in a smart way, got close to Nash's body, and while looking for a confrontation, he made
Reach out and turn your head to look at the basketball.
Swish——!
The three-pointer hit the net.
Nash can not only pass the ball, but his shooting is also very accurate.
He uses less offensive scoring methods, but his offensive scoring is very efficient.
3 to 2!
"The Bobcats attacked and served quickly from the baseline. Paul increased his speed and copied the Suns' run and gun operation. The Bobcats are really good at running.
However, the Suns' lineup with one player and four small players can run better.
The Suns moved in and defended Paul. Su Bei let Gerrard one step away, Stoudemire also ignored Chandler's offense, and Marion also ignored Okafor's mid-range shot.
The only one being guarded is Stojakovic. The Bobcats' lineup is full of potential. However, after being figured out by the opponent, there are also many shortcomings exposed.
How should Paul fight?"
How else to fight?
Of course, it’s fun to beat Nash. It’s always fun to beat Nash.
Paul broke through to the left, driving Nash's defensive focus to the left, compressing Su Bei's space.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bang bang——!
During the march, Paul broke through and rushed to the right. Lagabel was taken to a 40-degree angle by Stojakovic. Su Bei could not wipe his butt on the right side. Nash could only move sideways to keep up, delaying Paul as much as possible.
The speed gives teammates space to help defend.
Paul was not used to Nash, so he broke through and headed straight for Nash.
Without HC defense rules, Nash can only press his chest while fighting and retreating. Su Bei and Laga Bell on the two wings are useless, so you can ask him to step into the urn and rely on his teammates inside to help defend, resulting in a local situation of more defense and less defense.
Paul seemed to have predicted Nash's move. Before Stoudemire could save it, he had already pulled up the ball, stopped and shot a two-point jumper...
Swish——!
3 to 4!
"Paul is catching Nash and beating him non-stop!
But then again, if it were any other player, Nash would definitely be the first choice."
Off the court, D'Antoni's defense against Nash was also quite helpless.
This was his choice, and he had to finish it with tears in his eyes.
Besides, if Nash's defense hadn't really been a problem, the Mavericks, as a trench team, wouldn't have been able to dismantle the Nash-Nowitzki combination. It would have been the Suns' turn to pick up the slack.
I can only suffer and be happy!
On the court, during the Suns' offensive round, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt and was just pulled up for a three-pointer. Naturally, Paul would not give him another chance and directly pressed Nash, using his physical talents other than height to guard Nash.
"The Suns played a two-corner tactic. Stoudemire and Marion moved to the high post. Su Bei and Laga Bell sank to the side. Nash, who was forced, did not have a good one-on-one space. He dribbled the ball to the right to break through and fight Stoudemire.
A pick-and-roll tactic was adopted.
It is impossible to prevent the switch at 183. Paul can only rush to Nash with Chandler and flank Nash.
Nash is a two-time MVP, so how can a double attack prevent him from passing the ball?
Stoudemire received the basketball and it was already empty at this time. Okafu had good athletic ability. He jumped out to cover the defense. Stoudemire made a shot, a two-point jump shot..."
Bang-dang——!
There was a completely open position, but Stoudemire lost it.
"The basketball was grabbed by Marion who rushed into the penalty area. Okafor returned to defend and Gerrard also stepped in to help defend. Marion had no chance to make a shot. He passed the ball..."
Su Bei received the ball from the 65-degree three-point line on the left side, raised it, and aimed...
Gerrard deserves to be called "Elvis". Although Paul may have taken away this title, his athletic talent cannot be taken away. He was still in the penalty area just now, but Su Bei just received the ball and he rushed out.
"Su Bei collected the ball, swung past Gerrard, dribbled the ball inside and broke through to the penalty area. He drove straight into the penalty area, jumped up from the penalty area, and smashed the basket hard with one hand in the air..."
Bang-dang——!
He dunked with one hand like a Huashan, and scored two points into the basket.
5 to 4!
Paul was a little weird. When did Su Bei's body become so violent? How could he not know it?
