My style of play is from the future

Chapter 116 Who is the number one point guard
Lin Feidu looked at Paul who walked into the warm-up venue.

Without squinting, Paul walked slowly into the sidelines and started training with an aura.

Before officially entering the field, both teams will conduct a simple warm-up.

Paul actually knew that the Suns were watching him, and he could feel it in his peripheral vision.

But he didn't care.

My Banana Boat brothers live in New York, Miami, and Cleveland, but definitely not in Phoenix anyway.

Phoenix, where the Suns are located, has no acquaintances of his own, so he doesn't care who is watching him.

In Paul's view, he is not familiar with the Suns at all, and the only one who has an intersection with him on the topic is Nash.

In the past two years, when many people discussed the league's No. [-] point guard, they either said it was Paul himself or Nash.

Some people say that Nash is still the number one point guard.

Some people say that Paul has taken over the title of the first point guard from Nash.

Paul scoffed at the first opinion, Nash is still the number one point guard? !Come on, I have already proved by my strength that I am the well-deserved number one point guard today.

Two years ago, if the league hadn't finally given Kobe the regular season MVP, then he, who has the MVP, would have already secured the title of No. [-] point guard, so why would there be so many unnecessary controversies.

As for Lin Feidu, Paul also looked down on him.

He was just a rookie, so he didn't believe that this kid could play tricks in front of him.

Of course, Paul didn't underestimate the enemy because of this kind of thinking. He watched the video of the Suns' previous games very carefully. After watching the video, Paul knew that Lin Feidu must be locked on this point, because this guy's three-pointers are very accurate. .

Once the three-point shot is made, it is very easy to widen the point difference, so Paul decided that Lin Feidu would be defended by him himself.

After the warm-up on the field, the two teams returned to the locker room to prepare.

"Paul! Operate according to this tactic..."

The head coach of the Hornets, Byron Scott, was talking about tactics to his players, especially when he talked about how Paul controlled the ball. He was very serious.

Because Coster knows better than anyone that Paul is the only starting point for the Hornets under his command.

Paul's play is the top priority.

"Ok!"

Facing Coach Coster's communication, Paul responded with inadvertence.

Not only is Paul the boss of the team like this, but the other main players are obviously very perfunctory in their arrangements for him.

Seeing this, Coster sighed deeply.

He has a vague premonition that he is very likely to be forced to leave the Hornets.

Since the disastrous defeat in the playoffs last season, the attitudes of the players towards themselves have changed, especially at the beginning of this season with multiple consecutive losses, all of which made Coster feel that he has gradually lost the ability to control his players prestige.

A sense of pity rose from my heart.

But even so, as long as he stays on the coach for a day, he must do the job at hand well.

"So, other people must actively adopt this method to move positions and take the initiative to attack more. If Paul defends Lin Feidu, I hope others can do their own defense well. When Stoudemire and Nash pick and roll..."

In his position, doing his best to do his job, coach Scott is still explaining his tactics meticulously.

Even though today is the last coaching of his career, he is determined to stand up for the last shift.

In the Suns locker room.

Erwin didn't talk about tactics.

He has already finished the tactics that should be said yesterday, and the next step is to hand over everything to the players under his command, and believe that they can play their due performance on the court.

So everyone in the Suns relaxed in the locker room and chatted freely.

Their mentality is relaxed, and the winning streak has given all of them a strong psychological backing.

quickly!

The staff notifies both teams to come on stage.

Amidst the wild shouts of the DJ, the two teams entered the field.

The atmosphere at the scene was very strong.

"Lin, Lin!"

Lin Feidu heard Xiaosi calling himself in a low voice.

"Look over there, look over there quickly, Kim Kardashian is watching your game again!"

Hearing Xiao Si's words, Lin Feidu followed Xiao Si's prompting eyes and looked, and sure enough, Kardashian was sitting on the sidelines.

"I..." Lin Feidu was speechless. He hadn't seen this woman when he was just warming up, but unexpectedly, she came again in this match.

'I left you a note last time, telling you to stay away from Kardashian, why didn't you listen? !You idiot. '

Lin Feidu recalled again what the masked man with extremely cold eyes said to him.

It's really a disaster for a beauty.

Lin Feidu looked at Kardashian, the series of events happened because of the woman in front of him.

What's even more exasperating is that he has nothing to do with this woman Mao.

To be honest, if he hadn't been gagged yesterday, he really wanted to tell the two masked men that he had nothing to do with Kardashian, not only that he had nothing to do with him, but also that he didn't know him well, not at all.

Seeing Lin Feidu looking over, Kardashian smiled brightly.

She didn't know everything that happened to Lin Feidu.

The game was about to start, Lin Feidu withdrew his mind from Kardashian.

beep! !

As the whistle sounded to start the game, Stoudemire successfully jumped the ball and passed the ball to Lin Feidu.

Lin Feidu advanced with the ball. After halftime, when he was two meters away from the three-point line, he immediately felt Paul's coercive defense.

Paul likes to stop the opponent's dribble and then grab the ball with his hands.

Lin Feidu didn't follow him, and didn't join the ball.

However, Lin Feidu would never stop in front of Paul and do unnecessary frontal dribbles. After all, Paul has a low center of gravity and fast hands. If he stops in front of him and dribbles frontally, he is easy to be intercepted.

So Lin Feidu used his height advantage to cover the basketball with his back, and immediately passed the ball to Nash.

Then Lin Feidu stood two meters away from the three-point line and pulled Paul.

This is a regular style of play for the Suns today, using Lin Feidu's shooting ability to draw the opposing team's perimeter defensive vanguard.

Then it's up to Nash and Stoudemire to turn the team around, attacking the rim in a four-on-four fashion.

Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll is like a bug for the current Hornets, and they can't prevent it at all.

In the first round of offense, Nash used the pick-and-roll to rush in and get an empty blue.

Coach Scott of the Hornets saw that Nash's offense was so easy and freehand, he couldn't help but stood up and signaled the players to defend with heart.

The Hornets launched an offense.

Paul also calls the pick-and-roll.

Paul is a traditional point guard. His first choice to hold the ball on the court is usually to find teammates and create offensive opportunities for teammates.

And that's exactly what he's doing now.

After the pick-and-roll, he quickly passes the ball out.

His conduction timing can always be grasped very well. This is a characteristic that has already appeared before he entered the league.

David West catches the ball.

West's mid-range shot is very consistent.

So his pick-and-roll cooperation with Paul is one of the tactics that the Hornets often play right now.

But West didn't have a chance to shoot, because the Suns obviously knew their tactics very well and quickly locked up his shooting space.

West then passed the ball out quickly, and the Suns still made up quickly.

The Suns this season have not only undergone earth-shaking changes on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, compared to teams like the Hornets, they are also unmatched.

The ball eventually returned to Paul's hands.

Paul's basketball IQ is very keen. He found that although the Suns' defensive rotation is fast, such a defense is very easy to leave room for himself to score.

He called West for the pick-and-roll again.

At this time, there are still 6 seconds in the attack time, but Paul is not impatient.

After West brought it up, Paul strode past the blocked Lin Feidu.

Although Stoudemire chased after him, because Stoudemire's more energy was obviously to prevent Paul from connecting in series, Paul was not disturbed by Stoudemire at all.

Paul dunks directly at the basket.

Scored two points.

From an outsider's point of view, the Suns' defense this round was simply full of loopholes.

However, as the head coach, Irwin sat there leisurely, without any objection to the players' defensive performance.

Although Paul is still young at this time, he has a lot of experience, such as after scoring this dunk.

In order to prevent Frye from the baseline, he sent a fast counterattack baseline ball.

Paul deliberately pretended to be inadvertent in the air and flew the basketball out with his thigh.

Frye had to go after the ball.

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

While the opponent was chasing the ball, Paul quickly organized his teammates to return to the half-court position.

The Suns had no chance to counterattack, so they fought a positional battle again.

In fact, for the Suns, positional warfare is also very simple.

There is also a pick-and-roll cooperation between Nash and Stoudemire. This time Nash passed the ball into Stoudemire's hands, and Stoudemire directly rode David West with a brutal dunk.

The Hornets counterattacked, and Paul scored the ball.

The Suns' defensive strategy is obviously to cut off Paul's connection with others, preferring to leave Paul with more offensive space, and not to allow others to have the opportunity to participate in the offense.

In the game, once a player cannot participate in the offense, it becomes a meaningless back and forth run.

This will greatly wear down the combat awareness of the players on the field.

The Suns are different here.

Everyone is involved in the offense. Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll is not just the two of them touching the ball, but their pick-and-roll initiates the ball. In the process, their pick-and-roll will be torn to some extent The opponent's overall defense.

In this case, everyone will have a chance to end, but relatively speaking, Nash and Stoudemire have a higher probability of ending.

Lin Feidu did not participate in the offense for most of the time after the start of the game, but this does not mean that Lin Feidu's fighting awareness will wear off, because he plays a very important role on the field, and the reason why others can play so easily , because Lin Feidu completely opened up the attacking space.

You come to me on both sides.

The strength of the Suns as a whole is gradually revealed.

Their scoring is more resilient, and they can continue to attack the Hornets' defense.

For the Hornets, Paul scored high points, but the overall score of the Hornets gradually fell behind the Suns.

7 minutes after the start of the first quarter.

15:22
Of the Hornets' 15 points, 9 were scored by Paul.

It almost became Paul's performance alone.

Paul has a strong desire to win. After finding that Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-rolls frequently worked, he anxiously called his teammates to defend Lin Feidu, and he switched to defend Nash.

But this year's Paul is also not very effective in defending against pick-and-rolls.

Stoudemire's strong body stuck Paul, and Paul couldn't squeeze through.

And Stoudemire intentionally forced a few mid-range shots on Paul's head, and scored all of them.

Stoudemire's behavior angered Paul, and Paul increased his offensive output again.

As a traditional point guard, Chris Paul's scary thing is that not only can he connect teams extremely efficiently, but his personal singles ability is also among the top in this league.

As long as he doesn't put him in the penalty area, Paul has a way to send the ball to the basket against any defense in this league.

He made frequent efforts again, so the Hornets, led by him, kept chasing points.

But what happened is exactly what the Suns want to see.

Cut off Paul's tandem and let him do more isolations.

In terms of scoring ability, will the Suns be afraid of a little Paul? !Compared to Paul's singles, the Suns play Nash after Stoudemire, Nash after Stoudemire, Nash and Stoudemire, Frye, and occasionally a fast break to make Barbosa feel good .

After the whole game, Lin Feidu followed Erwin's tactics and stayed there. Although he didn't hit a goal, Paul didn't dare to let him go.

beep! !

The first quarter is over.

25:29
Needless to say, after Paul's crazy output, he really recovered a few points compared to before.

Paul's personal score came to 15 points in a single quarter.

The second quarter begins.

Nash was substituted to rest.

In his place is backup point guard Goran Dragic.

Lin Feidu didn't score for the entire first quarter. At this time, the people watching the live broadcast in front of the TV and the scene came to a concept: Lin Feidu was completely guarded to death by Paul.

It is reasonable for them to come to this conclusion.

In the past, Lin Feidu scored like chopping melons and vegetables. Even a defensive champion like Lagabel could only stop him from scoring with fouls.

But judging from the results today, Lin Feidu didn't score a single point under Paul's defense.

"gun!!!"

"gun!!!"

Paul fans have shouted for it.

And Paul himself is actually very proud in his heart. Although Lin Feidu in front of him is just a rookie, everyone now knows that this rookie's explosive scoring power is very terrifying, and he often scores various high scores in a single quarter.

But no matter how powerful he is, he is still completely locked up by himself today!

Just when Paul was secretly proud and satisfied in his heart.

For the first time, Lin Feidu didn't pass the basketball while holding the ball.

Nash rested, and Dragic, who came off the bench, had a mediocre offensive level.

At this time, the Suns' backcourt needed Lin Feidu to stand up.
