Nash's career three-point shooting percentage is above 40%!
It is precisely because Nash's shooting is very accurate, his breakthrough is very smart, and it is difficult to guard against him, so Nash has many opportunities to provide assists.
There's no way, you can't let go of a marksman like Nash in a pick-and-roll, right?
As long as you are afraid of Nash's attack power, you can only switch to defense.
And as soon as you switch defenses, the inside becomes a big fight against a small one.
With Nash's passing skills and vision, there is no ball in the world that he can't pass!
Double team?
That's what Nash hopes for most!
Therefore, the opponent has two choices, either to switch defense and give Stoudemire or the Suns an outside opportunity, or not to switch defense and give Nash an open opportunity.
Deng Fang chose the second option.
Nash's scoring ability is indeed strong and his shooting is accurate.
However, no matter how strong Nash's scoring ability is, what everyone is most worried about is his assists!
Once Nash is given a chance to drive his teammates, there will be no suspense in the game.
As for scoring ability, no matter how strong Nash is, you are still 35 years old!
Whether it's a layup or a shot, it requires a certain amount of physical strength.
The biggest problem for veterans is physical strength!
This is also the reason why Nash is more willing to drive his teammates rather than score himself.
In addition, if it’s really about scoring or three-pointers, who is Curry afraid of?
Since bayonet competition is not about defense, let’s do it!
Who is afraid of whom!
The referee made a three-point gesture.
0:3!
The sun takes the lead.
Looking back is the Warriors' offensive round.
Curry continues to move without the ball.
The Warriors are a newly formed team, Curry is a rookie, Lopez and Azubuike are also young and inexperienced, so they still struggle with this complex off-the-ball tactics.
Especially in actual combat.
Fortunately, the Warriors have been practicing this tactic for a while, and they practice it constantly during daily confrontation training, so the players still have a certain tacit understanding.
Of course, the Suns' poor defense is also an important reason.
Soon, Curry circled twice and ran out of the baseline with a reverse run.
Seeing Curry coming to the three-point line and being unguarded, Prince quickly passed the ball to Curry.
Curry didn't hesitate, raised his hand and shot.
The basketball hits the net!
For a shooter, you can't make mistakes over and over again.
Sooner or later you will pay for your mistakes!
3:3!
The Suns players didn't care either.
If you shoot so quickly, you are considered great if you can score!
We weren’t trying to defend against you in the first place!
Who is more afraid of who is shooting?
The Suns' run-and-gun tactics have been well-known in the league for a long time, and the name "Three-Point Team" is not just a boast!
The game continues.
The Suns' tactics are relatively simple.
As long as Nash, the passing master, is around, the ball will definitely be in his hands.
As long as Stoudemire, a super finisher, is around, the pick-and-roll between Nash and Stoudemire will definitely continue.
Whether to let Nash shoot, give Stoudemire a chance inside, or choose to help defend and give outside shooters a chance, you have to choose one of these three cups of poison.
Not giving them all?
Unless there is no Nash and Stoudemire on the opposite side!
The title of MVP in both worlds is not just blown away!
There are parallel imports for the No. 1 pick, but there are no parallel imports for the MVP!
The reason why people can become stars and MVPs is because you can't guard against their unique skills!
Different coaching options are different.
Deng Fang chose to vote for Nash!
Nash is a super shooter, yes.
Nash is very accurate in the mid-range and three-point range, yes.
But Curry will only be better than Nash at this point!
Not to mention that his shooting speed is much faster than Nash's, his off-ball movement is much better than Nash's, and his shooting percentage alone is not far behind.
We can't guard you Nash, how can you guard Curry?
Isn't it what we would like to see if the game becomes a one-on-one battle between the two of them?
One is 21 years old and the other is 35 years old. Even if they have the same scoring ability, anyone with a brain will know how to choose!
As expected, Nash and Stoudemire were in a pick-and-roll, and Lopez once again chose to stay inside.
Laga Bell goes around the screen, and Lopez prevents Nash from passing the ball to Stoudemire. In short, you can shoot if you want, but you can't pass if you want!
Although Lopez was hiding behind, Laga Bell's defensive experience was there. Even if he was blocked by Stoudemire, Nash did not dare to be careless.
As long as Laga Bell interferes with Nash a little bit, it will be fine.
Nash became the MVP of both worlds not because of his scoring ability, but because of his assists!
In the two years when Nash won the MVP, he averaged less than 20 points per game, which is very rare in NBA history.
Except for Bill Russell in the 1950s and 1960s and Wes Unseld and Bill Walton in the 1960s and 1970s, no one has been able to win the MVP with such a low score.
In today's era of very fast-paced playing, Nash can do this entirely because of his assists.
In other words, Nash and the Suns are most familiar and accustomed to Nash's assists.
In this case, I will let you compete in an unfamiliar way!
If you want to pass the ball, I will force you to score!
As long as you are not used to it, I will win!
Someone may ask, what if someone wins in this way?
what is it now?
I am willing to admit defeat!
Just admit how awesome they are!
If a person defeats you in a way that he is not good at, what can you do if you refuse to accept it?
When O'Neal kills you with a three-pointer, all you can do is worship and be willing to admit defeat!
Remember, this is not a ball, it is a game!
48 minutes!
Nash's golf IQ is very high. Seeing that Lopez was still huddled inside and Laga Bell could not come over in time, he decisively collected the ball and raised his hand to shoot.
The basketball hits the net again!
6:3!
The audience at America West Arena cheered!
Such a performance by the leader of the team would make anyone excited!
Van Gundy Jr. in the commentary box shook his head and said: "I think the Warriors' defensive strategy is stupid. How can they let Nash shoot? He is the MVP of two worlds!"
A Smith also shook his head repeatedly, sighed and said: "Indeed, I can understand that Deng Fang is wary of Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, but giving Nash an open shot is not a wise choice!"
Deng Fang on the bench looked indifferent and calm.
Deng Fang knew how powerful Nash was.
When he was still a Rockets fan, Deng Fang liked the Suns very much.
The main reason is because of Nash.
With his flowing long hair, passing the ball with elusiveness, and running and bombing in 7 seconds, I have to say, Nash and the Suns are so entertaining to watch!
One of the reasons why Deng Fang likes Curry is also because of Nash.
Curry can be said to be an enhanced version of Nash!
Elegant, spiritual, accurate, elegant and humble!
It’s all so similar!
Deng Fang chose the current defensive method partly because of this.
Deng Fang wanted to see if Nash and Curry were allowed to shoot freely and score points against each other, who would be more powerful?!
Of course, the two may be equally matched.
Not bad!
Because it will definitely be a great show!
What failed to be realized in history, Deng Fang wanted to realize it in his own hands.
