Although there is no Nash this season, D'Antoni's team will always focus on offense. They are like a warrior holding a spear, always attacking, and the defense only relies on the barrel of the gun to block.
The magic in this game is like a standard warrior, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. The shield is their flexible and active defensive rotation, while the knife is Howard and Josh's straight-forward slashing. Of course, they also occasionally perform flying knife miracles.
This is the three-pointer from the outside by Iguodala and others.
Because the Suns' defensive enthusiasm was not enough, the Magic got a lot of quick opportunities. However, it was a pity that because Marion had to keep an eye on McGrady, he could not attack the half court immediately, so Iguodala was cheap.
"It was McGrady's attack again, playing Marion alone. Unfortunately, the ball didn't go in. Howard grabbed the rebound. Howard passed the ball to Nash. Nash made another long pass without any pause. Iguodala once again went one-on-one in the frontcourt. He squeezed away
Joe Johnson, but it's a pity that he missed the layup. But Josh Smith followed up with the dunk, which was so beautiful." Kenny Smith explained the game seriously.
"This is the Magic's fast break in this quarter, probably the 5th or 6th. And the Magic's fast break is not a simple one-man running to the basket. Their fast break is three-dimensional and very layered.
Just like the attack just now, it was very typical. Iguodala missed a layup, but the Magic's inside line immediately caught up with the dunk. We observed carefully that when Josh dunked, Howard, who had just grabbed the rebound, was already there.
At the midline, look at the players behind him. There are only Hunter and Stoudemire from the Suns, and not a single Magic player. The Magic players are rushing very hard. D'Antoni has to think of a way. This is not the way to go. Now
There are still 2 and a half minutes left before the end of the first quarter, and the score is 27-24. Although the Suns are one goal behind, there are many problems exposed." Although Charles Barkley often interrupts, when he analyzes it carefully, he is still very clear.
Well-founded.
D'Antoni also noticed the problem. The players were too inactive, so he called a timeout.
"We played very well at the beginning. Although we didn't lead by much, the whole game was under our control. But I still want to emphasize a few points. First: we must protect the rebounds. Rebounds are the foundation of our current tactics. The opponent
The inside talent is also very strong, so we must be more vigilant and more focused. Second: Be careful about the opponent's pick-and-roll. I believe that the opponent will definitely strengthen the use of pick-and-roll after the timeout, instead of letting McGrady play in isolation, so no matter what the opponent does
In pick-and-rolls, you must rotate faster and more aggressively, and immediately double-team the ball-carrying player after the pick-and-roll."
"Beep" as the electronic bell rang again, the players entered the field again.
Edison took a look and saw that the Suns had made a personnel change. Ellis left the game and replaced him with Richardson.
"What does this mean? Which one of them plays point guard to organize the offense?" Edison subconsciously asked Thibodeau sitting next to him.
Thibodeau touched his hair and said, "We should let Joe Johnson play point guard. He is the only one in this lineup who can do this job."
"You mean D'Antoni is going to let Joe Johnson eat Nash?"
"It's very possible, you'll know just by looking at it."
After hearing this, Edison quickly returned his attention to the field.
Sure enough, after the restart, the Suns strengthened Joe Johnson's offense.
Joe Johnson is 201cm tall and has the height of a standard swingman, but his dribbling skills are very solid. Because of his poor physical fitness, he is a standard floor player, with accurate shooting, high stability, and reasonable timing of shots.
He doesn't take shots easily if he doesn't get a chance. He's not very fast, but he knows how to use his body very well, and his combination of man and ball is very good. You can imagine him as the peak performance of Jordan when he came back at the age of 40...
Although Joe Johnson's physical fitness is not good, but it is compared to the league's muscle level, and compared with Nash, he is still completely superior to Nash.
Joe Johnson held the ball at the top of the three-point arc, and then went to the paint area. Because he was not fast, Nash kept hanging on him. Joe Johnson did not play any pull-up jumpers or distribute the ball, but leaned on Nash.
Rushing in. At this time, Nash was embarrassed. He originally wanted to stop Johnson from breaking through, but now Johnson used him as a shield. Because of Nash's presence, Josh couldn't even come over to block the shot. But Nash immediately withdrew.
, it is unjustifiable to ignore Johnson, but in the end, Joe Johnson succeeded in a throw-in under the basket.
Edison understood at a glance that Anthony had seized on the weakness of his lineup, and he had to change his tactics. So he made a gesture to Nash, which meant that he was not guarding against shots and breakthroughs, so he let him in.
In fact, this is also a tactic commonly used by the Magic, but it is usually used against players who are fast and powerful. Because this kind of player Nash either can't keep up with others, or is directly pushed 3 meters away by others, so we simply let him suddenly.
, and then pointed at Howard and Josh to cover the inside.
What, what are you talking about if the opponent makes a pull-up jump shot? Come on, if the ones who can make a pull-up jump shot are the main scorers in the opponent's backcourt, usually Iguodala and Tony Lahren will defend such people.
. Under normal circumstances, Nash defends those whose offense is not so comprehensive, his shots that can break through are not very accurate, and his shots that can break through are not very good.
But that won't work today. The other Richardson is also a physical maniac. He can shoot suddenly and shoot harder than Johnson. If you ask Nash to defend him, you are just looking for death.
As for Joe Johnson, although he can make sudden shots, he is not fast. Even if Nash is released, Josh and others can come over in time to cover the defense and will not give him an opportunity to open an open shot.
And for Josh, Howard and even Varejao, they are used to filling Nash's position, so when Johnson attacked again, Josh came out in time to block. Under Josh's interference, Joe Johnson's offense did not
Succeeded.
But Joe Johnson quickly made adjustments. He no longer forced his shots, but instead broke through Nash to disrupt the Magic's defense and began to actively distribute the ball. Stoudemire inside was the direct result of this change.
The beneficiary is that without Josh's personal defense, his choices after receiving the ball are more calm. Although his mid-range shots this season are not as accurate as later, they are beginning to take shape, and they are pretty good without anyone's interference.
efficient.
Regarding this change, Edison is very helpless. They rely on the strength of the stars to beat you at one point. No matter how you make up for other positions, there will be loopholes. Then you rely on the stars at that position to solve the battle. There is nothing you can do.
However, although he could not defend himself and kept losing points, fortunately there was no gap in his scoring. The Magic still played well on the offensive end, and the two sides tied at 31 in the first quarter.
"After watching the first quarter, I can conclude that this game will definitely be a scoring battle. In the end, it depends on who can't score first. Whoever can't score first will lose." Kenny Smith said
He has a big bald head and looks like a magician.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Edison began to seek changes. He replaced Nash and replaced him with Hill, letting Hill organize the offense to see how the team could perform without Nash.
After two rounds, Edison gave up on this idea. Although Hill has strong personal abilities, clear ideas when reading the game, broad vision, and good passing organization skills. However, due to position constraints,
Hill can only organize offense from one side. He cannot stand at the top of the penalty area and radiate to the other four players like Nash...
The most critical thing is that when other Magic players are not strong enough to support themselves and can't take the initiative to run into open spaces, Hill does not have Nash's ability to guide players to run by passing the ball on his own.
In fact, when we watch Nash's games, especially when he was in the Suns, his passing was so timely. His ball often arrived as soon as there was an opening, so it is difficult for you to determine whether he passed the ball first or the player ran first.
.It’s hard to tell whether the player ran out of space and passed the ball over immediately, or whether the player ran out of space to catch the ball.
And this is the difference between Nash and other top point guards.
Let’s look at the other four top point guards in the league, Paul, Kidd, Rondo and Deron.
First of all, Chris Paul. Paul's assist data is overrated. I know some fans may be unhappy when I say this, but when he was in the Hornets, at least one assist in every game was artificially counted.
I often see him pass the ball to David West, and then West takes three slow steps to dribble the ball, avoids the defense and scores, but inexplicably counts Paul as an assist. Pay attention to the key words I just said, "
"Slow" three steps. If it were three steps "fast", I wouldn't say anything. You can count it as an assist. But taking three steps "slow" is obviously a demonstration of West's personal singles ability, and it also became Paul's assist.
But this also means that Paul's assist data may be watery, but his assist ability is beyond doubt. It can be said that there is no gap between Paul's organizational ability and Nash's. The only thing Paul is not as good as Nash is in passing.
Passing is the only difference between him and Nash. Nash's passing is more stable and better able to cooperate with his teammates. According to a commentator, "Paul's passing can make Griffin make alley-oops, while Nash's passing can make Gogo
"Tate Alley-oop". Sometimes when Paul passes the ball, he will use his own status as a reference. He thinks you should be able to catch it, and then he passes it, but sometimes his teammates can't catch it, causing mistakes.
Nash, on the other hand, fully considers analyzing the status and abilities of his teammates. As long as his teammates are aware of the ball he passes, they will definitely be able to catch it. And I think that even if Paul reaches 30 years old, he may not be able to do this.
.I think this ability cannot be explained by experience, but is something about personality.
Kidd is currently second on the all-time assist list, second only to Stockton. Kidd’s organization is definitely more stable than Paul’s. It can be said that what Paul is doing now is what Kidd did back then. So Paul and
The gap between Kidd is experience. As for the gap between Kidd and Nash, I think there is almost no difference. The only difference is that Kidd’s teammates are stronger. But precisely because his teammates are stronger, Kidd’s assist data is not as good as Nash’s, and
Nash is able to get good data even when his teammates are not doing their best.
Let’s talk about Deron. The little chubby Deron’s organizational skills and vision are definitely not as good as Nash and Paul, but his assists are practical. Deron is the pass that should be done, and he can do it. For example, when we watch the game, let’s talk about it below
When there is a space, Deron can pass it to the space. You need TV replays to know how to pass the ball. He can rarely do such super-level and amazing passes, and this is exactly the specialty of Paul and Nash.
.But Deron's personal offensive ability is very strong, so he creates space and opportunities for his teammates, so his assists do not rely on the running of his teammates.
Finally, let’s talk about Rondo. If Deron’s assists do not rely on his teammates, then Rondo’s assists are very dependent on his teammates. Because no matter what, Rondo’s assist ability is largely due to his excellent teammates. He only needs to pass the ball.
If the ball is passed to a teammate who runs out of space in time, the teammate can score a goal and he can get assist data. This is very similar to what we saw in the Rockets in 2005. At that time, many of the Rockets' assists were generated by Madison.
The ball was passed to McGrady, but McGrady didn't make any moves. He held the ball in place for 2 or 3 seconds and directly pulled it up. Then the player who passed the ball got an assist. Therefore, Rondo has the worst organizational ability among the four people.
Yes, but Rondo has a very high basketball IQ, he is very calm, and has a very strong ability to read the game. He knows where he should pass the ball at the most critical moment, which the three people in front of him cannot do.
.To put it simply, when the game enters the last minute and the two teams are tied, the offense does not need to deliberately waste time. So if the four people in front find that there is a gap on the outside, they will pass the ball without hesitation.
Outside, and then let the outside players attack, even if this player is a passerby. But Rondo is not, he will feel that it is not safe to do so, he will choose to wait until an opportunity arises at the point where his team is most confident, and then pass the ball
Give it to him. This is what we often say, he can pass the ball to the right person at the right time. And this is definitely not something you can explain just because his teammates are friendly. This is also an ability.
, or talent, it is difficult for others to achieve...
If we rate organization and passing ability, Nash is 99, Kidd is 98, Paul is 97, Deron is 94, and Rondo is only 90. Because in general games, 90 is a hurdle and represents the top of the league. These five people are absolutely
They are all above this level, and 95 is another hurdle, the top in history, and neither Deron nor Rondo can reach this level. As for Nash, I think he is better than Kidd and Paul. As for 100
, I think that only belongs to memory and belongs to retired figures like Stockton and Magic Johnson. Before Nash and the others retire, they are not qualified to discuss it.
Of course, I just analyzed the organization and passing abilities of the top five point guards, not their comprehensive abilities. If both offense and defense are taken into account, the order will definitely change.

I had something to do tonight, so I rushed out a chapter and posted it.
There were indeed loopholes in the previous transaction, and I changed it again. If it didn't work, there was really nothing I could do about it, because I didn't expect Hardaway's contract to be so big at the beginning, so it would be difficult to fix it. As long as everyone knows about it.
One final word. In fact, the part where I wrote about the confrontation between Tracy McGrady and Marion yesterday was an easter egg, and it had its origin. I originally thought that if any of you could guess it right away, I would add an extra chapter today. But now it seems that everyone doesn’t
