Seeing No. 24 and No. 29 fighting so hard, Nash suddenly felt that he was not a "man".
After all, he had to admit that there were some things he said. No. 29 was right, and so was No. 24. He said so many great truths, saying that the team is more suitable now without him. That was all more or less...
Making excuses for being timid and scared.
I don’t know when I started to become different from what I used to be.
Not as long and flowing as before, not as eager to compete as before?
...Why did I force my comeback and rejoin the team?
In order to become a SVIP super spectator at the critical moment of the team?
Yes, I am 40 years old, which is very old at this age, but won’t I be 36 in more than two months on the 24th? In terms of injuries, isn’t the serious injury he suffered at the end of last season worse than
Is he serious? Isn't Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still the main force of the Lakers at the age of 40, averaging more than 31+ minutes per game? He also won the championship that season.
So, I am considered a very old veteran on the court, but... I am not the oldest, am I?
At the age of 40, couldn't Malone still score close to 20+8+5?
Therefore, in the history of the NBA, there are more people who are older than you. Compared with the state of the same age, there are also more people in the history of the NBA who are in better state than you. Speaking of which, think about when Kobe Bryant scored that 2+1.
Looking at his own eyes, Nash finally woke up.
You no longer have the confidence to challenge and play. You really don't deserve to step onto the court to compete.
That look... was even a little pitiful.
What's the pity?
Have pity on yourself.
I……
Nash looked up at No. 24 and No. 29 who were fighting desperately on the court. He suddenly remembered what he said to his agent before his comeback: This is my last season. I bet on this last season and lost the bet.
, and I accepted it.
So, is it time to admit it now?
Isn't it... too early?
I, Steve Nash, have always been the leading actor, not just a casual spectator!!!
In the Lakers' bench area, player No. 10 stood up, walked to the head coach's seating area, and said, "Mike, I changed my mind."
D'Antoni was stunned. Before he could speak, No. 10 started walking towards the technical table and said:
"Fang is right. Watching a play is not enough, so I'd better go on and perform it myself."
After the Lakers and Spurs each had an offensive and defensive failure, the Lakers applied for a substitution and replaced Jordan Farmar with No. 10, a 40-year-old veteran, Steve Nash. See Nash
After reappearing, Tang Qian had a hint of surprise in his eyes and said, "Steve, have you finally figured it out?" "Well." Nash smiled and said, "It's time to figure it out, right? If you don't think about it anymore, it's a disaster.
It’s too late.”
The conversation with him on the 24th was much more concise and concise:
"Ready?"
"What do you think?"
"Then come on."
"good."
Tianchao Sports Channel.
After seeing the Lakers make another substitution, Yu Jia expressed great confusion and said: "Why do you have to replace Steve Nash now? Now are the most critical 2 minutes. Nash, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't like him.
It's just Nash's defense now..." Yangyi also frowned: "I don't know what D'Antoni is thinking, but it's obviously not a clever move."
"Because if I were Popovich and saw that the Lakers replaced the 40-year-old Nash, I would definitely hit him mercilessly. I know that Nash has a glorious career with many achievements and honors. However, he After all, he is old now. If Mike D'Antoni chooses to replace Nash, who is not good at defending, isn't it equivalent to setting up a target for the Spurs to hit?"
There was a huge commotion on the Internet all of a sudden.
Looking at the messages and comments, most of them are confused and confused. Some radical fans even couldn't help but curse:
Is D'Antoni out of his mind? Why don't he replace Nash at this time? Just Nash's defense, isn't it frustrating?
D'Antoni's employees have always been "elusive". I saw it today. If we lose tonight, he will take the biggest blame!!!
My boss won’t have another season end like this, right? Will there be another chance?
Nash has long since expired and has been targeted by the Spurs. It would be better to replace him with Farmar.
Some of the remarks were getting more and more unpleasant, and some Nash fans couldn't help but jump out to criticize them. In an instant, Lakers fans seemed to be divided. This is the consequence of multiple big names coming together. , even if he is old, he still has his own loyal fans and does not allow others to criticize him. Even if he is a "friendly army" in the same team, there is no difference.
But at the end of the day, Nash's fans still lack confidence.
After all, after coming to the Lakers, Nash's aging speed is visible to the naked eye, and his defense has completely deteriorated this season. As "Nano", they themselves don't know this. It's just... After all, they have liked it for so long, even I have followed you throughout my school days, how could I bear to let him be slandered and raped so much?
As fans of Nash, how they hope that the former Son of the Wind, the former King of Phoenix, can return to the top like Kobe and have another spring. But... is it still possible? He is already older than Kobe. 4 years old.
Is this still possible?
At the Spurs AT&T Center Arena, seeing the Lakers replace Nash again, there was no need for Popovich to give any more instructions. The entire Spurs team knew what to do in the next offensive round.
However, we must guard against this ball now.
After Nash was replaced, the overall operation of the Lakers suddenly became smoother. Kobe also returned to the No. 2 position, began to look for opportunities, and focused on attacking. Looking at Nash's ball in the top arc, he is worthy of being a veteran point guard. The master quickly discovered a passing gap, and this kind of opportunity is not easy for ordinary passers, including Kobe, to find.
Or, even if you find it, you won’t dare to spread it like this.
While Nash was trying to get inside, he suddenly raised his hand and threw the basketball near the Spurs basket.
Is this... a mistake? Of course, it's impossible.
This is how the ball should be passed.
There seems to be no chance, that's because this ball is not an ordinary alley-oop. It not only requires the passer to pass the ball well, but also requires the receiver to have a certain ability and energy. After Nash passed the ball, he looked inside and felt in his heart road:
I know you can do it, right? It's hot.
Tang Qian was slightly stunned at first, but soon he recalled something in his mind. Is this... the one he did during training? Yes, it must be! Okay, good pass Steve, now it's your turn It’s my turn!!!
Just when in the domestic live broadcast room, both Yang Yi and Yu Jia thought that the ball was going to be passed incorrectly, No. 29 suddenly turned around and jumped up with a step. Although the Spurs also had follow-up defense for this ball, but...
Duncan quickly chose to give up. To give up, is No. 21 "cowardly"? Of course not. This is a strategic giving up. Because the flexibility and explosiveness of Lakers No. 29 are too good, let alone Duncan.
No one on the Spurs team could stop Tang Qian who was fully capable of taking off.
Therefore, rather than end up with a 2+1 or a flagrant foul, it is better to forget about the ball.
After all, basketball is not football. Selective giving up is a manifestation of basketball IQ.
Boom~~~
Tang Qian jumped high, caught the ball and put his hands into the basket, and the Spurs' basket was pulled to the point of whimpering.
"Beautiful pass!!!" This dunk made Tang Qian let out a slight sigh of relief. He was so surrounded by the Spurs in front of him, which made him depressed. Now Nash gave him such a benefit as soon as he came, Tang Qian
Why are you unhappy?
"Nash is such a treasure. This pass was so beautiful and wonderful. It was as if the Spurs' tight and seamless inside defense just now suddenly created a gap." After Yu Jia finished speaking, he said eloquently: "That's why I said
The No. 1 position is the commander and brains of the court. Kobe may be very capable and can pass the ball, but the threat and destructive power of this pass are completely different. The real passing master is
As a pure point guard, James has both ability and vision, which is particularly attainable."
"However, the defensive end is the key. If you can't guard people, then the Spurs will still lose the game when they are already ahead."
"It depends on how the Lakers will defend themselves this time."
How to do it? There was no way to do it. Nash tried his best to defend, but he still got a defensive foul from Parker. The latter stood on the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws. 112-116, which was equivalent to Tang Qian's wonderful dunk just now.
Lost it. This is the "key" that Yang Yi said.
If you can't defend yourself, no matter how good your offense is, it will only make the game exciting when you are already behind.
It doesn't allow him to come back and win.
But Nash knew exactly what he was doing. As soon as the half was over, he started a pick-and-roll, broke through and passed the ball. The basketball was directly passed to No. 24. No. 24 did not hesitate from the outside, raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.
Brush~
This kind of decisiveness is indeed much stronger than when Kobe was the ball handler.
Because before, Kobe had to take into account the responsibilities of the point guard, but now, there is only one.
Catch the ball, shoot the ball, take the shot.
Unleash the ferocity of his Black Mamba.
115-116, the Lakers are only one point behind.
The Spurs' goal was still Parker's. Looking at the time, there were only the last 38 seconds of the game. Basically, it was consumed all at once, and the offensive time left for the Lakers would not exceed 16 seconds. If the Spurs had been more precise,
A little, maybe only about 14 seconds will be left for the Lakers. So this game has reached the final critical point.
Any mistake would put the Lakers in jeopardy.
They are different from the Spurs, who still have a way out, but they have completely lost it a long time ago.
When Parker saw the Spurs starting halftime, he stood in the top arc and controlled the ball. He glanced at the game time and suddenly said: "Steve, your era has ended long ago, hasn't it? You can't guard me.
"." Nash didn't say anything. He just focused on the opponent, staring at the opponent, fearing that the opponent would take the opportunity to start and break through him.
"You don't need to be so nervous." Parker said, "Because it's easy for me to get past you now. Whether you're prepared or not, it's the same." There was a fire in Nash's eyes, but he has been the No. 1 position for so long.
, it is very clear what the Frenchman in front of him wants to do. This is not simply "talking nonsense", but "trash talk" and "psychological warfare". Because the more critical the moment, the mental and psychological fluctuations will
The larger the response, the more sensitive it is.
Therefore, you cannot be provoked into falling into the trap.
Nash responded with silence, seemingly completely ignoring the meaning of Tony Parker's words.
Parker seemed to have guessed this. He was not disappointed. Instead, he said: "Your peak is very dazzling. I am not as good as you, but..."
"You are completely old now."
"So, goodbye, Steve."
"You can't guard me."
Under the attention of countless people, the "French sports car" seemed to have spent no effort, just a simple change of direction and an emergency stop, and then passed the Lakers' No. 10 cleanly. Then, it took off calmly,
When Tang Qian shot, he wanted to save it from the inside, but because the distance was too far, he was not a superman and could not teleport from the basket in the penalty area to the high wing of about 16 feet in one step.
Therefore, when Parker hit the ball and the basketball hit the net, the entire Spurs home court erupted in excitement.
San Antonians are extremely satisfied with the French's performance.
On-site commentator Bill Rand also said: "This is a harvest-like shot. Perhaps this is also the last sports goal in the entire series. Tony has lived up to his nickname. He easily scored tonight."
Surpassed Nash."
As soon as the ball was scored, the Internet exploded, especially Lakers fans. Complaints about D'Antoni and Nash went crazy, as if they were always looking for a "scapegoat" and a "vent package" to express how the Lakers were about to be destroyed.
The inner fire of depression that leads to elimination.
At this time, many Nash fans had nothing to say, because, the fact is, Parker scored this key goal under Nash's defense. In the whole game, the Frenchman also scored nearly 40 points, and most of them scored
It was obtained by attacking Nash's defense.
This pot can't escape.
Alas, after all, my boyhood idol is still a hero in his twilight years. Is it difficult to guarantee his retirement?
115-118, the Spurs regained the lead by 3 points, and the Lakers called a timeout.
"Sorry Steve, I like you very much, but this is basketball, isn't it?" Parker said "bragging" to Nash before leaving the court. It sounded modest, but in fact it was arrogant. Of course, as a generation of stars,
, how many people are not arrogant? Besides, Parker just scored such a crucial goal.
He has the qualifications and capital to speak like this.
On the basketball court, the winner takes all, everyone understands this truth.
Nash looked at the Frenchman, who was 7 to 8 years younger than him, and just nodded, but didn't say anything.
He just turned around and walked to the Lakers' bench, seemingly as if nothing happened.
PS: One update tonight, tomorrow, um, we will continue to explode with 10,000 words? How about it, do you all support it???
