Chapter 194
And this grab cap also hit the momentum of the Suns.

Joe Johnson and Marion missed consecutive shots.

The Heat took the opportunity to widen the point difference.

The start is 12:2.

There is a feeling that the game is about to be played at the beginning.

Coach D'Antoni called another timeout, but there was nothing he could do about it, grimacing.

The tactics are played out, but the shots can't be made.

There is really no way.

After coming back again, Nash took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

Relying on Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, Nash broke into the paint.

Haslem rushed to fill the defense.

Facing the muscular man, Nash did not retreat but advanced, his delicate and small body directly strengthened, and he rushed to the basket fearlessly.

Drip!

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Nash caused Haslem's thug foul and earned two free throws.

Nash walked to the free throw line, touched his hair habitually, wiped the sweat from his palms, and made two free throws steadily.

12: 4.

In the Heat's offense, O'Neal beat Stoudemire violently and scored the ball.

14: 4.

The Suns attack.

Nash held the ball in his hand and didn't pass it to his teammates who didn't feel good. He chose to do it himself again.

Stoudemire pulled out again to give Nash a pick and roll.

Wade was prepared this time, squeezed through the pick-and-roll and continued to stare at Nash.

Nash was fearless, changed direction with one crotch, and suddenly pulled it up.

Wade immediately stood up.

As the best defensive player in the NCAA, Wade's defense has always been very good.

Confrontation and wingspan are both Wade's advantages.

When meeting Nash, even height became Wade's strong point.

The two had physical contact in the air, and Nash was knocked off his back.

But Nash, relying on his strong core strength, forcibly stabilized his hands in the air, and shot a "lying back" jumper.

The ball barely passed Wade's fingertips and pierced his heart with an arrow.

Swish!
14: 6.

Nash scored 4 points in a row.

And against the Heat's tenacious defense, it was difficult to score.

Fans have always thought that Nash is a traditional point guard who is good at connecting teams.

In fact, Nash's scoring ability is also top-notch, a frequent visitor to the 180 club, and the entire frontcourt is his shooting hotspot.

(180 club: shooting percentage + three-point shooting percentage + free throw percentage exceeding 180%.)
The American West Arena is heating up again.

Small body, with great energy, it is no exaggeration to describe it.

This skinny white point guard has a lion on his body.

"Roar!"

After landing and stabilizing his figure, Nash clenched his fists and roared, which further inspired the morale of his teammates.

In the next round, Stoudemire assisted in the defense, and a bloody hat was awarded to Haslem.

Nash took the ball and advanced quickly.

The Suns still rushed to the frontcourt like a tide.

Nash hit the ground pass and assisted Marion with a dunk.

boom!
14: 8.

The Heat attack.

The speed of Wade's advancement unknowingly increased.

He rushed to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Jones Sr.

Old Jones made a jump shot.

Ah Q threw himself fiercely. Although there was no physical contact, it still gave him psychological pressure.

Jones Sr. missed the shot.

At this time, O'Neal just rushed to the basket.

Taking advantage of O'Neal's lack of reaction, Stoudemire took the backcourt rebound and went straight to Nash.

Nash still played fast.

After running back and forth continuously, the Heat's formation was a bit chaotic, and the defense seemed to be riddled with holes.

Nash deceived a group of people with a fake pass, even his own teammates, and then went to the basket and scored an easy layup.

14: 10.

In an instant, the Suns chased the point difference to only 4 points left.

Pat Riley hesitated, and ultimately did not call a timeout.

After all, the Heat still lead by 4 points.

Just told Wade to slow down on the sidelines and not to run with the opponent.

The Heat attack.

O'Neal low to attract defense, the ball to Haslem.

Haslem pulls up and shoots.

Bang!

After running back and forth continuously, Haslem had a heavy breath and the rhythm of his shots was very awkward.

Fortunately, Li Lei relied on his sense of smell to predict where the rebound would land, grabbed the rebound, and then made a wonderful pass to the basket.

O'Neal took the ball and dunked directly.

boom!
16: 10.

The Heat temporarily stabilized the situation.

And because of the goal, the Heat retreated quickly and set up a defensive formation before the Suns attacked.

The Suns attack.

Stoudemire came up for the pick-and-roll, and Wade was prepared to squeeze Stoudemire ahead of time.

But when Wade and Stoudemire squeezed together, Nash changed direction and went around from the other side of Wade.

Wade wanted to squeeze back again, but was a step too late.

Nash is too smart to play, and his golf quotient completely crushes Wade.

Immediately, Nash pulled up from the top of the arc and shot.

The basketball crossed a parabola, piercing the heart with an arrow.

Swish!
16: 13.

The Suns' long three-pointer finally opened.

The Heat attack.

O'Neal beat Stoudemire under the basket.

Marion assisted in defense in time and interfered.

O'Neill turned around and missed the hook.

Marion then took off for the second time and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Suns immediately launched another wave of defensive counterattacks.

Old Jones noticed that Nash was hot and subconsciously helped Wade defend Nash.

Nash saw it, and a precise pass flew out from the crowd and flew to Ah Q's chest.

This is the most comfortable position for a person to catch the ball.

Ah Q catches the ball, pulls it up and throws it. His movements are extremely smooth, which makes people feel like he was born to do so.

Swish!
Ah Q also has a three-pointer.

16: 16.

The American West Arena was on fire, and countless Phoenix fans stood up and screamed, whistled, and twisted their buttocks...

The Suns are on the move.

It took them just a few minutes to catch up with the double-digit point difference.

Drip!

Pat Riley didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately called a timeout.

The Heat players walked off the court, panting heavily on the bench.

It was only half a quarter of the game, and they were obviously much more tired than usual.

The Suns' offense is too fast, especially the defensive counterattack, like mercury pouring down the ground, it can be called a small ball whirlwind.

The Heat's coaching staff has statistics that the Suns' attack time per round hardly exceeds 7 seconds.

In this way, the Suns can get more shots.

So so far this season, the Suns have averaged 110 points per game, 7 points ahead of the second-placed Heat.

In the entire league, few teams averaged more than [-] points per game.

It seems that the Suns are the outliers of this era.

But seriously, it makes sense.

Mike D'Antoni, the best offensive coach, met Steve Nash, the best guard at connecting teams.

Moreover, the league just introduced the no-handcheck rule during the offseason, making it possible for the Suns to play.

If it was changed to last season, the Suns would have died miserably if they dared to play like this.

But now, the small ball whirlwind led by the Suns was born.

Relying on more shots, the Suns have repeatedly scored high scores. Not only has a good record, but also a good-looking style of play, attracting many fans.

Some people may ask: The Suns take more shots, and the opponent also takes more shots. Why can the Suns win?
Because the Suns are used to playing this way, the opponents are not used to it!

More shots also mean more frequent, denser runs back and forth.

Players from other teams are not used to it.

For example, in the current Heat team, players are panting quite badly.

Especially O'Neill, dragging such a large weight back and forth, coupled with the age of 33, is really a bit too much.

"Slow down! Slow down! Play at our own pace!"

"Success rate, don't let the opponent get the chance to defend and counterattack easily."

Riley slapped the tactical board and roared loudly.

The carnival of Phoenix fans was too loud, which seriously interfered with the Heat's tactical arrangement.

Pause back.

Li Lei took the initiative to ask for the ball, stabilized his rhythm, and then called Haslem out to pick and roll.

But Marion's switch was decisive, blocking Li Lei immediately.

Li Lei's breakthrough was fruitless, so he will look for opportunities after he stabilizes.

At this moment, Li Lei caught a glimpse of Wade sneaking through the back door from the corner of his eye.

Li Lei had quick eyesight and quick hands. He tricked Marion with a feint and directly slid the ball over.

Wade took the ball and went straight to the basket.

Stoudemire came up to defend.

Wade deftly gave O'Neill.

O'Neal received the ball and easily put it to the basket without defense.

18: 16.

Li Lei's goal can be regarded as stopping the bleeding for the Heat.

The Suns attack.

Nash continued to do pick-and-rolls with Stoudemire.

Wade squeezed past Stoudemire this time and followed Nash tightly.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Wade, Nash didn't stop, and dribbled to the flank.

Stoudemire went straight to the basket and just made a cover for Joe Johnson who was crossing.

Nash saw it and passed the ball immediately.

Joe Johnson caught the ball and adjusted it, pulled it up and shot.

Swish!
18: 19.

The Suns made three consecutive three-pointers, and the outside players all opened.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Haslem came up for the pick-and-roll.

Joe Johnson had just scored a goal. He was a little excited at the moment. He squeezed past Haslem and continued to stare at Li Lei.

However, Li Lei changed direction and went around to the other side of Haslem.

Joe Johnson tried to squeeze past again, but Haslem could not give a chance, so he blocked it firmly.

While Joe Johnson couldn't catch up.

Li Lei jumped up and voted.

Swish!
21: 19.

This ball copied Nash's previous actions.

Nash saw it and couldn't help laughing.

"What a smart little guy!"

Then looking back, Nash rushed forward, taking advantage of Wade's failure to stabilize his figure, he directly pulled up.

Swish!
21: 22.

The Suns scored 4 three-pointers in a row.

next round.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei continued to rely on Haslem's cover to create space for shots.

But this time Marion assisted in the defense in time, which interfered with Li Lei's shot.

Bang!

Li Lei's shot went wide.

Stoudemire received the backcourt rebound and looked for Nash immediately.

Looking at the audience, Nash saw a long pass accurately delivered to Ah Q. Ah Q jumped up and smashed the basketball into the basket.

boom!
21: 24.

"Steady! Hit slowly."

Li Lei saw that the Heat players were a little anxious again, and immediately reached out his hand to signal.

But Nash couldn't make Li Lei happy, he directed Ah Q to come up and press down.

Li Lei held up the basketball and avoided Ah Q's pressure.

But Nash didn't know when he touched it again, and unexpectedly cut off Li Lei's ball.

Li Lei's mistake.

Nash got the ball and rushed to the empty frontcourt.

After reacting, Li Lei desperately chased after him, trying to make up for this mistake.

At the basket, Nash rose from the ground.

Li Lei was behind him, also soaring into the air, trying to suppress Nash's shot.

However, in the blink of an eye, Nash suddenly stopped and threw the ball behind him.

Don't watch the pass?
Ah Q, who was keeping up with him, caught the ball, took off directly, and scored an easy layup.

Swish!
21: 26.

Unknowingly, the Suns led by 5 points instead.

Nash cleaned up Wade and educated Li Lei again.

The entire American West Arena exploded directly.

Phoenix fans spontaneously chanted: "MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Coincidentally, this season's MVP candidates, O'Neal ranked first, Nash ranked second, it is the boss of these two teams.
