"What's that look in your eyes? Are you not convinced? It's right to be unconvinced, but since your general is defeated, you can only be unconvinced." Amare Stoudemire saw Tang Qian's eyes, but he didn't
Take it seriously. His current state makes him feel very comfortable and happy.
It's as if... no one in the whole world can defend himself anymore!
That's the feeling.
Tang Qian licked his lips and smiled strangely, but without saying anything more, he just ran straight towards the opponent's half.
Now the morale of the Tang Qian team feels a bit suppressed. Why? Because the offensive firepower and offensive combination of Nash + Stoudemire are too powerful! It's like just two people can score 70~80 points
Same! This made the players on the Tang Qian team nervous.
In fact, their feeling was not wrong. The two of them tonight were aiming for 60 to 70 points.
It's okay if the outside line is not accurate and it doesn't meet expectations. Nash and Stoudemire have to make up for this problem themselves.
Basketball is essentially a scoring game, so as long as you can keep scoring goals and scoring, who cares how you play, who cares whether you score 2 points or 3 points. Reasonableness is to get more points, right?
So if you can score goals even if it's unreasonable, that's fine.
Nash began to only tighten the team's defense in a targeted manner, mainly letting go of Kidd and Jordan Hill.
Needless to say, Kidd, although the 2001-02 season was his personal peak, his three-point shooting rate in the playoffs was "inexplicably sluggish". He averaged 4.5 shots per game and only managed 0.9 hits, and most of them were in the open.
On the ball and the opportunity ball, the hit rate is 18%+. Nash is so defensive, there is no problem. As for Jordan Hill, Nash’s method is to let Joe Johnson keep teasing him and put psychological pressure on him. For example, "You are absolutely
Can’t make it?” “How could you possibly make the shot?” “You really can’t make the shot.” “Why are you so thick-skinned that you still have to make the shot even if you can’t make the shot?” and so on.
Although Hill has some mid-range shooting ability, he cannot be used as a conventional weapon at all, and the player's psychological quality is very average. As long as he is provoked by "trash talk", he will easily perform abnormally and get worse as he plays. This is the case tonight, Jordan
.Hill took 6 mid-range shots, but never made one.
And the more this happened, the more unscrupulously Joe Johnson started "spraying", and the distance between his defenses became wider and wider.
In the end, even though Jordan Hill got the ball in an open position, he didn't dare to take action.
The offensive point at position 3 is equivalent to being eliminated.
There was still more than one quarter left, and it was beaten like this. Two attack points were contained. For the Suns, this was a good time and place. Kidd wanted to break this situation and increase the number of points.
His offensive ability from the outside, but...he deliberately "betted the dog" in this game. He never made any open shots from outside the three-point line. In this case, his outside shots became gradually hesitant.
Got up.
You can use your body to beat Nash, but the Suns players have very good athletic ability. Kidd can ignore Nash, but he can't ignore other Suns players. Furthermore, because of the lack of firepower from the outside, the Phoenix has obviously shrunk significantly.
In defense, if you have to break through hard in this situation, the hit rate will inevitably be impossible to get high.
Don't forget, Steve Nash is also a point guard master and the "leader" of the team.
His defensive ability is not as good as Kidd, but his overall view and court analysis are not necessarily worse than the latter.
Otherwise, can he lead the Suns to the Western Conference Finals three times? Otherwise, can he win consecutive MVP awards in his career?
Ray Allen's missed shot was mainly due to the lack of threat from Kidd and Jordan Hill, which caused the Suns' perimeter defense to focus on the former. As a result, even though Ray Allen was in the peak season of his career,
It is difficult to maintain a high hit rate.
As I said before, he is not the type to break up one-on-one situations. His specialty is three-point strikes and cold arrows from long distances.
Therefore, if the Tang Qian team's insiders cannot respond effectively, it is estimated that this game will be over.
The Suns were too suppressed from the outside.
"Rebound!"
Because the Suns have shrunk their defense, more people can participate in rebounding.
In this way, even Ben Wallace felt great pressure.
If someone uses one or even two people to block you, what can you do no matter how strong you are? One versus two or even three versus three? You must know that basketball players are all big players. As long as they are in the penalty area, they can rely on rebounds.
The situation moves the blocking position. This is completely different from the cover situation.
The Suns are also very smart. Under the command of Nash, at least one person is assigned to block people, and then the person who is not blocked will protect the rebound. The NBA is not a 2k game. As long as you really block the opponent, then forget it.
Even though he is 160cm tall, he can still protect the backboard.
To use the words of later generations of expert reporters to criticize "big brush" Kevin Love, uncontested rebounds? Anyone with hands and feet can get it. Even a teenager who has never been exposed to basketball, let him compete with the air
Could it be that I still can't get the rebound?
In short, due to the contraction, the Suns' defensive rebounding advantage has been significantly expanded.
Many factors can affect the overall situation of the game, which is also one of the charms of basketball.
As long as we control the defensive rebounds, deny the opponent a second chance to attack, and maintain our offensive efficiency, then... winning this game will only be a matter of time.
Steve Nash even thought about doing this in the next few games.
Anyway, as long as they can withstand the opponent's main lineup, their bench is not a big concern.
The Phoenix Suns are ten times better than them.
This is also one of the biggest differences between Nash and Kidd.
The Suns No. 13 can maximize the offensive ability of the players. Whether they are the main players or the substitutes, as long as they can match with him, the offensive ability will be significantly improved. In this regard, Kidd is far behind. Take a look at his performance on the net.
During the period with the Suns, there were experts who could score, but their average points did not increase much after joining Kidd.
It even has the meaning of weakening.
Because Kidd's strengths are organization, organization, and court control, he is far less powerful than Steve Nash in terms of scoring bonus.
So Nash wants to take advantage of these points, target them one by one, and then help the Phoenix Suns complete a huge comeback.
Unfortunately, some people disagree.
Just when Marion was about to win the defensive rebound, a figure suddenly appeared, and a magic weapon descended from the sky. Then he pressed Marion hard, and with a "clang", he dunked into the basket.
The second attack was successful, and the Tang Qian team did not waste this offensive round and offensive opportunity.
"Damn it! I wasn't paying attention! It's my fault for this ball! It was my mistake!" After saying this, Marion ran towards the frontcourt. After circling half a circle among the people, he found an opportunity without the ball and immediately waved. Nash responded quickly.
.
The next second the basketball appeared in Shawn Marion's hands.
Marion is now at his peak, and he is also the striker who makes the most of his ability without the ball. He has averaged 21+ points per game even though his independent scoring ability is very average. This is really not easy, and it is really powerful. This season he has surpassed
The 52% shooting rate is the ironclad proof of Nash's "Holy Light", allowing Marion, who has never shot more than 48% in any season before, to break through the 50%+ shooting rate mark for the first time.
This is definitely a super-excellent shooting percentage among outside players.
Moreover, Marion's physical fitness... There is a joke, isn't Kenneth Farid's nickname "Orc"? Someone asked how his physical fitness compared with Marion, who was at his peak back then. Because the two
They are all similar to "track and field play", but the difference between internal and external lines. Someone answered incisively and concisely: If Farid is a half-orc, then Marion at the peak is a pure orc, half-orc and pure orc, it still makes sense
To compare?
This can highlight how terrible Marion's body was back then.
He is also the type who bounces very fast and powerfully. After pushing his feet on the ground, it is as if he has been blessed with boosters and flies directly to the Tang Qian team's basket at high speed. This kind of ball Sean Marion has already jumped with all his strength.
Very few people in the league can stop him.
Ben Wallace wanted to block the shot, but his reaction was already far behind.
That's too late.
However, Marion's ball did not go into the basket smoothly.
The moment he dunked, a big yellow hand suddenly appeared in front of the basket, and then, without any bias, pressed down Marion's dunk.
This guy! This guy again! Bastard!
Marion ran wildly, and his athletic ability was really formidable. He was already in the Suns' defensive position before the Tang Qian team's attack was launched. Kidd made a pass, and the basketball flew to the unguarded Jordan. Hope
In my hands, Jordan Hill... didn't shoot.
This made Kidd anxious and said: "What are you doing? There is no one in front of you! You haven't taken action yet!"
But Jordan Hill hesitated and passed the ball back to Jason Kidd. This back and forth plus a hesitation resulted in 24 seconds of attack and only 4 seconds left. Kidd
Nash wasn't too close when it came to catching the ball, so he blocked the former's breakthrough.
There was no way, Jason Kidd took action, Duang~, another three-pointer.
"Damn it! Grab the rebound!" Kidd actually knew it as soon as he took the shot. His three-point shooting form tonight was really not that bad. This made him feel a little less confident. Ben Wallace
He tried hard to get stuck, but he still couldn't stop Phoenix's "bomb-grabbing army" after shrinking their defense. After Joe Johnson blocked him, although he successfully blocked the position, he had lost the best opportunity to grab the board. Besides, I think
To go there, in addition to Joe Johnson, there is also Stoudemire.
When it comes to rebounding, the Suns really do it to whoever can grab it, and they don't have a fixed person in charge.
Otherwise, there would not be such a strange phenomenon that Shawn Marion's rebounds per game are better than Stoudemire's rebounds per game.
The moment Marion took off, another huge force came from behind. Marion didn't pay attention, and he wanted to fall forward. He looked extremely embarrassed.
Bang~
Another discount!!!
It was the Lakers who completed another dunk on the 29th! This kind of ball has a strong impact and makes everyone happy to see it!
This is the subtle difference between a tip-in and a rebound. If you hit your opponent from behind while grabbing a rebound, you will definitely be whistled for an offensive rebound foul. But if it is a tip-in... the referee will not interfere much.
Unless the action is really too big and exaggerated, for the sake of the smoothness and enjoyment of the game, it must be a good shot by default.
This has become "one of the unspoken rules of the NBA" very early on. Just like blocking a shot, whether the shot is blocked or not, sometimes these are two completely different penalties. Players play basketball so
It's been a long time, and I've long been used to it.
No one will protest too much.
"Another dunk!!! This Oriental guy!!!" Marion felt that he had made a fool of himself. He wanted to find some face from Tang Qian. Through active running without the ball, he was really kicked.
Lyon found an opportunity. After catching the ball, he jumped from the side and flew towards Tang Qian's head.
This guy... is so stupid.
Tang Qian jumped up on the spot, took advantage of the situation, and joked that he wanted to dunk himself from the front, or did he support his "highly angry" self? Isn't that a dream, what is it? Tang Qian slapped the ball, and then not only blocked the ball, but also knocked it away
Marion, easily put the basketball in the palm of his hand.
Brutal dunk and block grab.
This made Marion stunned for a moment. Tang Qian's team once launched a fast break, 3 on 2 in the frontcourt, and Kidd made a layup himself.
"I...I actually got caught? Or dunked and caught? Bastard!!! I'm going to kill him!!!"
Marion took the next ball and rushed towards the Lakers' inside line. However, he was not a ball-handling expert in the first place. He rushed in like this. Before he could touch Tang Qian, he was beaten by Pistons No. 3 Ben Hua.
Lai Shi slapped it with a palm, and everyone fell on their backs.
"You're so arrogant! There's more than one big man in our team!" Ben Wallace said angrily to Marion after blocking the shot. On the defensive end, the Suns still contracted their strategy, and Kidd passed the ball to the opponent.
Jordan Hill, who was left open, shouted loudly at the same time: "Shoot! Shoot for me now! If you hesitate again, get out of here!"
What I dislike most about position 1 is that I have all the opportunities to pass the ball, but you don’t shoot? Are you doing it on purpose? Or is it intentional?
Jordan Hill had no choice but to hesitate for a moment and still chose to shoot. As expected, the basketball... hit the basket and flew high.
"Protect the rebound!" Nash reminded from the outside. Marion also paid special attention to the movements of Lakers No. 29. He thought to himself, I can't beat you, I will block you to death! This is always okay! Don't think that you
After two extra deductions, you can go to heaven! Playing basketball is not that simple!
But... things went against expectations. I don't know how Lakers No. 29 did it. He brushed against Shawn Marion's blocking position and passed by. Then he squeezed Stoudemire under the basket and made a "bang" sound.
, both hands completed the make-up deduction for the third time.
"You squeeze me!" Stoudemire just finished saying, Lakers No. 29 said: "Yes, I will squeeze you."
"What can you do?"
There was a fierce light in Stoudemire's eyes. In the offensive round, he would cut in without the ball and perform another super rim-busting dunk performance.
But this time, Tang Qian didn't let him succeed anymore. He slapped the dunk basketball away with a hard slap, and then said to Suns No. 32, who was still a little unsteady on the ground: "You
What can be done?”
"What can be done?"
