Chapter 235 I Can Guard Him

March is a month to remember.

American scientists announced the discovery of water in the depths of craters on the surface of the moon; the world's first submarine cable mainly used for Internet transmission was opened; the box office of "Titanic" exceeded 10 billion US dollars; the scam of "Miracle Doctor" Hu Wanlin was exposed

In terms of world sports, many eyes are focused on the upcoming Football World Cup in France.

This World Cup is the first World Cup in the history of the World Cup with 32 teams participating in the competition.

Although football has always been the number one sport in the world and the influence of the World Cup has always been great, the expansion of the army will undoubtedly make this influence and attention continue to expand, especially in Asia and Africa, where football levels are relatively backward.

In addition, the popularization of television, the innovation of information and communication technology and the maturity of commercial operation have also brought more attention to this World Cup.

There are also superstars such as Ronaldo who turned out two years ago. Many people believe that the "alien" will lead the Brazilian team to successfully defend the title and win the championship in one fell swoop in this tournament.

Also in this month, a song "The Cup of Life" performed by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin was confirmed as the official theme song of the World Cup.

With various events attracting attention, the attention of the NBA has declined year-on-year.

There is no way around this. Every year after the trade deadline, there will be a period of cold reception. On the eve of the playoffs, many teams vying for the playoffs will fight for the first place. The excitement and topicality of the game will increase, and the attention will naturally increase again.

Schramff's injury had a certain impact on the Sonics. There have been some failures in these days, but it didn't hurt the Sonics' ranking. At most, it narrowed the gap with the Lakers.

The Lakers also lost games. At the end of the season, they are still a bit overwhelmed. Judging from the current situation, winning 72 games in one season is definitely an almost impossible task.

So 72 wins is considered one of the most difficult records in the NBA.

In mid-March, the winning and losing Supersonics defeated Timberwolves, Lakers and other teams at home one after another, and their record improved again, stabilizing their No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

On March 3, the Sonics started their Western Conference road trip and flew to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.

The Suns have a good record this season. Kidd, who was a former star with mediocre statistics, was also selected for the All-Star Game. Barkley is often ridiculed by some unscrupulous Phoenix media.

It is considered that if Barkley does not leave, the Kidd + Barkley lineup is not much worse than the Rockets!

But they don't hurt their backs when they stand and talk.

If Barkley doesn't leave, where can the Suns get a bunch of young guards from the Rockets?Then where is the condition to trade Kidd of the Mavericks?

Do you use Steve Nash?Mavericks don't want it

The second-year Nash is really awkward in Phoenix. Unlike Qin Fei and Kobe, who are hot potential new stars, Nash is not young. He entered the league at 22 years old, and now he is 24 years old.

Nash is also a traditional point guard who mainly passes the ball. In this way, it is difficult for his personal data to explode.

In his second year in the league, Nash averaged 9.1 points and 3.4 assists per game.

That's right, the use of Nash has basically become a pitcher-type organizer who uses a conduction-based strategy to open up space.

Fortunately, Nash's shooting is extremely accurate, and his three-point shooting percentage has stabilized at more than [-]%, otherwise he might really lose his job.

too difficult

The relationship between Nash and Qin Fei is not bad. The two had contact during the draft, and they were both regrettable players who almost entered the lottery.

"The prodigal son turns back" Kidd is the best consolation for the Suns, and there is nothing else to be happy about.

For example, Kevin Johnson, the core player of the previous team.

Since Barkley left, KJ has been caught in a vicious cycle of injuries, slipping from a 20+10 All-Star point guard altar, affected by injuries this season, has been playing on and off, averaging only 9.5 points and 4.9 assists per game, and many games are played off the bench.

But having said that, because of KJ's injury, the coach gave Nash a little chance, so that the second-year Nash still seems to have improved, otherwise Nash's data will not be much better than the first season.

George Karl is very interested in the Suns' tactics.

Interested points to share with everyone.

"The Suns don't have a center in the traditional sense."

"They have a lot of very dynamic and impactful backcourts, and their style of play is slanted forward, including relying on technical forwards as support points. They can run, jump and shoot in five positions."

"Their passing and cutting cooperation is based on"

When Qin Fei heard this, isn't this just the early running and bombing? In this way, the Suns' running and bombing has long been traditional?

Take a look at the name of the head coach of the Suns-Danny Ainge.

Well, he is also a well-known heartless person.

The Suns built by Danny Ainge concealed the shortcomings of not having a center as much as possible, but lack of height and lack of rebounds are always a shortcoming. If at this time, give a fourth position who can grab rebounds and shoot three-pointers, the Suns can take off directly.

Later, a boy with a strange appearance and arms above his knees joined the Suns, and with the top point guard, he really carried forward the tradition.

Currently, playing against such a team, George Karl feels no pressure at all.

After the arrangements were made, the players from both sides walked out of the locker room.

In the orange arena, the passion of Phoenix is ​​everywhere, and the fans are very lively, much more noisy than San Antonio.

Compared with Qin Fei, he still prefers to be more lively. What's the point of being dull and silent?

George Karl and Danny Ainge shook hands, the two of them smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries.

"The Sonics are in good shape recently, and this game is very difficult for us."

"Don't say that, Coach Angie, the kids are all eating according to their abilities, it's not easy, and you are playing at home, so you have a lot of advantages."

Angie smiled: "I hope there will be a wonderful game."

At this time, the starting players of both sides appeared on the field.

The Sonics started with Payton, Qin Fei, Michael Smith, Kemp and Geiger.

The starting players of the Suns are: Kidd, Rex Chapman, Clifford Robinson, Antonio McDyess, Holt Rod Williams.

Among them, Rex Chapman, who Qin Fei is playing against, is a player who entered the league in 88. He is 1 meters tall.

The other three players are all forwards, and their official heights are all around 2 meters, which is nothing more than a difference of two centimeters to the left and one centimeter to the right.

官方的身高很有意思，四号位球员都喜欢给自己报2米08，五号位球员都喜欢报2米11或者2米13，很少有人报个2米07或者2米12。

Clifford Robinson was a titan of the former Trail Blazers, nicknamed "Uncle Cliff". He was excellent in running and jumping, and worked hard on the court.

Antonio Chuck Days is a young man, the No. 95 pick in [-], after spending two seasons with the Nuggets, he came to the Suns.

Combining Robinson and Chuck Days, one can run, jump and have motivation, and occasionally make a three-pointer, and the other can grab rebounds, but has no long-range shooting ability.

The starting center is a pseudo-center, and he will usually be replaced by veteran Danny Manning later in the game.

Danny Manning was the No. 88 pick in 20. At his peak, he was also a man who could contribute more than [-] points. He suffered two serious knee injuries. Now he has found himself in the Suns, and he has made a lot of noise as a substitute.

The two teams looked at each other, and then Qin Fei stood beside Rex.

Rex was shorter and thinner than him, Qin Fei's face was calm, and he was overjoyed again.

Danny felt helpless when he saw the matchup, but there was nothing he could do. The Suns guards were all this way, thin, short, fast and able to shoot. Kidd, the only defensive player, had to mark Payton.

"It's okay, I can prevent it!"

Before playing, Rex made a guarantee to the head coach and was willing to issue a military order.

Qin Fei didn't know about this entanglement. After he put on the armguard, he stretched the tendons in his left and right feet to dredge the muscles and bones.

"duo~"

The game officially started with the sound of the buzzer.

Off the court, Steve Nash was sitting among a group of big guys from the Suns, looking at the back of the No. 18 jersey with envy on his face.

"Still thinking about it?"

Kevin Johnson sat next to Nash.

"Ah, no."

Nash flatly denied it.

"It's nothing, it's very normal to have such thoughts."

Kevin Johnson has an insight into people's hearts. He has a clear understanding of Nash's thoughts, and even stands in Nash's perspective. Kevin Johnson feels that there is nothing wrong with it.

In fact, he still feels sad. His fellow players Pippen, David Robinson, and Reggie Miller wouldn't have

"If the Suns choose again, will they choose me or Qin Fei?"

Nash whispered, seemingly talking to himself, as if asking Kevin Johnson.

Kevin Johnson answered in the affirmative without a doubt: "Of course I chose you. In fact, our team has great confidence in you. You will be the most important asset of the Suns."

"We have never doubted your talent and hard work. In the future, you will definitely thank yourself for persevering on the scene."

After Nash heard it, although he also suspected that it was the official answer of Kevin Johnson's politician, he still heard it comfortably and it was much better. When he looked at the field again, behind him, Qin Fei, the No. 18 pick, had already started his first attack.

Seattle chose a classic pick-and-roll and failed, and Payton gave the ball to Qin Fei on the wing.

He trusted Qin Fei more and more. Looking at the target of defense today, he felt that Qin Fei was stable again.

Qin Fei faced Rex's three-threat attack. After all, Rex was a small man, and he stuck to the front. After he couldn't shake, Qin Fei made an explosive breakthrough.

The speed was too fast, and when Rex realized it, Qin Fei's entire body had rushed to his face.

"boom!"

The two confronted each other, and Rex, who weighed seventeen or eight catties less than Qin Fei, couldn't bear it, so he moved away with a muffled grunt, and Qin Fei came back a second time, pushing gently with his non-dominant hand.

It never occurred to Rex that the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and an upright face would actually make such a secret move.

This time he couldn't stand it even more. After Qin Fei broke through, he immediately switched hands and dribbled the ball.

NBA guards are very fast. After passing someone, they may not be really safe. Many people can complete outflanking from behind and easily break the dribble, so Qin Fei vigilantly changed hands to protect the ball, and Rex had no chance to counterattack.

Qin Fei adjusted slightly. At this time, the Suns were crowded inside, including Uncle Cliff to double-team him.

He didn't rush, a pass to the weak side.

It turned out to be Michael Smith catching the ball.

Oh, forgot, if it is Schramf, this will be able to be cast directly.

Michael Smith has no shooting ability, and he didn't shoot from a wide open. He dribbled in, carried the defensive player, and missed the throw.

Off the court, Steve Nash shook his head.

"If it was me, I would definitely play inside. Even if I can't see what's going on under the basket, if I see someone jumping over, there must be an empty space under the basket."

Nash thought silently in his heart, and then felt that what was he thinking so much about, did he have a chance to pass the ball?Now he is just a pitcher for a team, occasionally throwing two strikes, and he is said to be taking risks.

Because a real strike and a mistake are actually in an instant. If you can catch a score, it is a strike, and the rest is a mistake.

However, he came to his senses again, what is the comparison between passing the ball and Qin Fei? He didn't do this in the first place. It was because of Schramf's injury that he took on some "organizational responsibilities" temporarily.

Qin Fei actually likes to pass the ball quite a bit, but it was really his fault for the ball just now. Michael Smith didn't have the ability to shoot from a long distance, and he gave the ball to someone else.Looking at the appearance of a half-empty seat, it is actually useless at all.

Of course, many fans don't think so. There is no NBA player who can't shoot. It must be Michael Smith's fault. Qin Fei's pass is a good ball!

At this time, Danny Ainge found it very difficult off the field.

It's useless to issue a military order with him. If you can't guard it, you can't guard it. He understood with just one ball. Rex still took the idealist route.

How can you say that if you can defend yourself, you can defend yourself?The key is to seek truth from facts!

Rex also knew that he was useless on defense, so he was very active on the offensive end. In the Suns' running position, he even got rid of Qin Fei, who has the skill of "off-ball running killer", and went to the three-point line to receive Kidd's second pass.

At that moment, he was extremely determined, raising his hand and hitting a three-pointer like a long-range missile.

Hit the center of the basket with precision!

Dude, leave the problem to Angie.

Angie originally wanted to blame Rex, who took the initiative to defend, but now that he has made a three-pointer on the offensive end, the merits and demerits are offset, at most it is a soy sauce argument, and the responsibility does not rest on his coach!

What Danny Ainge thinks is clear, as long as he has a defensive winger like Pippen in his hand, it won't be so embarrassing.

When he thought about it again, he felt weird again.

Now a second-year Qin Fei has become so strong?Even his first reaction was to use Pippen to defend?

Angie felt that it was not very scientific, and he needed to observe again.

Subsequently, Qin Fei in the first quarter showed a good offensive state and skills.

In addition to passing the ball, he will force a breakthrough to cause a foul, force a breakthrough to complete a layup, and force a breakthrough to cause another foul.

shoot?

Facing a short and thin defensive target, Qin Fei tried his best to break through, and soon Rex received two fouls and had to rest.

Angie:

Kevin Johnson?

When KJ was at his peak, his defense was definitely at the league's first-tier level, especially his defensive breakthroughs.

Feeling the coach's scrutiny, Steve Nash puffed up his chest silently

either way

Angelo thought about it, broke the can, and finally called him out.

"Brother, I can only rely on you. Back then, you were also a high-ranked rookie. You have been in the league for many years. There is no reason why you can't hold down a second-year brat today, right?"

George McLeod, the No. 89 pick in 7, who was named, stepped in and nodded solemnly with a serious face.

But I'm a fucking pitcher

Unexpectedly, he, who has been named a pitcher all his life, will become a life-saving figure like an iron gate for perimeter defense in the Suns.

Steve Nash looked disappointed and heaved a sigh of relief.

The state of mind is quite complicated for a moment.

Forget it, I can't deal with Qin Fei, so I will give it away if I go up.

I'm still waiting for the replacement lineup.
