Chapter 162

The more intense the game, the greater the physical consumption of the players.

Especially in the playoffs, no one dared to be careless. Maybe if one didn't pay attention, one might be beaten by the opponent.

When facing the Warriors, you need to be focused all the time, because they have a super big hanger on the team.

Nash is 33 years old this year. His athletic ability is not outstanding, and now it has slipped a lot. Keeping going all out for a long time makes him sweat profusely soon.

D'Antoni also saw that Nash's physical strength was exhausted, hesitated, and replaced Brazil's Shanba Bosa with 3 minutes left in the second quarter.

Barbosa is extremely fast and has been regarded by the Sun as Nash's successor-but he is not.

His passing organization ability is very poor, and his passing vision is extremely poor. After playing, he only knows three words "chug chug".

It seems that he feels that his breakthrough is like an assault rifle, which can easily kill all opponents with a sudden burst.

However, the actual situation is that Barbosa easily destroyed D'Antoni's well-crafted running and bombing tactics, and brought the team's smooth offense to a standstill. Everyone can only watch him holding the ball like carrying a pack of explosives Constantly attacking the inside of the Warriors.

Even if the Warriors' interior defensive ability is not top-notch, Milicic's talent is there, and Biedrins is also a master of defense and shot blocking, which leads to Barbosa's offensive efficiency is extremely low.

On the Warriors side, under the arrangement of the old Nelson, the number of late shots was significantly increased, and the lates were crazily screened for off-ball pick-and-rolls, so that he could get a calm shot.

No matter how strong Bell's defensive ability is, it is impossible to stare at the lateness forever, and Barbosa's defensive willingness is not strong, so it is impossible to come to make up the defense. Shot—Bell really tried his best. He interfered with lateness as much as possible, which had a certain effect, but he still allowed lateness to score 2 points in a short period of time, widening the originally anxious point difference to more than 15 points.

The Suns are about to be hit!

At this time, D'Antoni made the stupidest choice in the game. Instead of replacing Barbosa, who destroyed the team's chemical reaction, he replaced Bell with Nash and played double guards to chase points.

Probably D'Antoni felt that Bell's restrictions on lateness were not enough after the second half of the second quarter, and thought that since he couldn't, then I will fight against you.

This substitution is just stupid.

When Bell is on the court, Stoudemire can hit the opponent's basket to his heart's content. Although Bell's offensive ability with the ball is not strong, he has a unique skill of bottom line three-pointers, standing on the left and right sides of Marion, Can stretch the Warriors' defensive formation.

As a pseudo center, Diaw will also have more routes to distribute the ball.

In this way, Nash is the most offensive threat when playing pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, and it is very difficult to limit them.

Not every coach can make the most correct choice at every critical moment, that is really too difficult.

The Warriors' offensive momentum has picked up, and D'Antoni's idea of ​​fighting for offense is actually not wrong, but it's just a little bit taken for granted.

As soon as Bell was replaced, the back line consisting of two defensive black holes, Barbosa and Nash, had no threat at all for being late.

Both of them are 191cm tall, but their actual height is slightly worse than that of late, especially Nash's height is relatively high.

Just after the substitution was completed, the Suns suffered a slap in the face.

Nash played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, and Marion pulled away from the left corner, but Barbosa did not run to the bottom corner to stand, and the Warriors immediately shrank their defense.

Milicic followed up with Stoudemire immediately. The Suns' pick-and-roll tactics failed to play a misplaced attack this time, which was actually a failure.

Stoudemire didn't get a good shot and immediately passed the ball to Dior.

Dior took the ball with his back and was blocked by Biedrins, who also didn't have a chance to make a move.

He immediately diverted the ball again to Barbosa who was emptied on the right.

Brazil Lightning hesitated for some reason and lost the best chance to make a move.

Roy followed immediately and blocked his way out of the ball.

How can I be stopped by a rookie and rookie?

Barbosa, who has been playing for several seasons, is still a little confused about his own weight, so he immediately took two steps back with the ball, lowered his center of gravity and prepared to break through.

Roy didn't follow either, just waiting near the three-point line for Barbosa to rush over.

This is embarrassing now. If it was late, two steps outside the three-point line and no one was defending, it would have already been shot-even if the Warriors have a certain outside shooting ability, they are now one or two outside the three-point line. The step position is also very daring to throw.

But Barbossa can't do it!
He took a total of 438 three-pointers in the regular season this season and hit 190 goals, which is not bad.

But he is not good at super long-range three-pointers, and he dare not mess around at all.

Barbosa fought wits and courage with the air for two seconds, and finally chose to accelerate.

Because he had enough reaction time, Roy immediately blocked his breakthrough route.

Barbosa was forced to slow down, changed direction and accelerated again, got rid of Roy's defense and went to the basket.

Biedrins' excellent defensive ability was reflected at this time. He found the best position at the first time. While Barbosa was laying up, he took off with all his strength, stretched his long arms, and grabbed a cap!

In fact, Barbosa had a chance to pass the ball to his teammates. In order to supplement the defense, Dior got a good shot space, but Barbosa's passing vision limited his performance.

Biedrins blocked +1 and immediately passed to Roy.

The Suns' athletic ability is not bad, and they have retreated to defense for the first time.

Just after halftime, Roy immediately handed the ball to the late.

Late called Milicic to come out for the pick-and-roll and avoid Nash's pursuit. Stoudemire kept up with his excellent athletic ability.

But the ball was already passed late, and Milicic accelerated and rushed inside with all his strength.

His physical fitness is not bad. With his height and weight advantage, Dior can't stop him from rushing.

Diaw wisely chose to get out of the way, and Milicic dunked successfully.

The Suns attacked and the speed increased again.

The double guard combination of Nash and Barbosa rushed across the half court like a whirlwind.

The Warriors adopted a man-to-man defense. Barbosa probably got a catch just now, a little unconvinced, and went directly to Roy.

Still, Roy just delayed him a little, kept him from maxing out his speed, and put Barbosa under the basket.

Two big men, Biedrins and Milicic, stood under the basket. There was not much room for Barbosa to make a shot, and the goal still missed.

The Suns tried to grab the offensive rebound and failed. Biedrins caught the defensive rebound with his excellent jumping ability and immediately counterattacked with a pass.

Roy rushed forward with the ball, and the Suns looked back at the moon under the basket. While avoiding Barbosa's pursuit, they gave the ball to the follow-up late.

Only Nash followed Late, but his defense was in vain. Late made a classic tiptoe shot, and Roy added 1 assist.

The combination of being late and Roy, who counterattacks and looks back at the moon, is super shameless. It has become the signature skill of the Warriors. Many teams have also begun to learn to imitate it. Let a fast player counterattack and rush to the front line, and another open three-pointer The players responded from behind, but the effect was not as abnormal as that used by the Warriors.

Defensive teams often have to make a trade-off, whether to pursue the defense with all their strength, or to keep an eye on the latecomer who is following behind, so that he cannot shoot a three-pointer and let Roy score two points.

This trick was named "eating snails" by fans in China.

The point difference between the two sides further widened, and D'Antoni could only stare blankly from the sidelines.

The Suns adhered to the will of the coach, reorganized the offensive and made a comeback.

As the team leader and organizer, Nash slowed down the pace a little, but this is not necessarily a good thing for the Suns-because now the Warriors actually have the advantage inside.

You must know that the inside ability of the Warriors is not top-notch in the entire league. Under the targeted arrangement, they actually suppressed the Suns with "inside beasts" and "inside magicians".

It can only be said that the Warriors have really grasped the shortcomings of the Suns players, just as Milicic and Biedrins do not lack athletic ability.

Even the current Yao Ming complains of headaches when facing Stoudemire because his athletic ability cannot keep up.

Nash and Stoudemire once again played pick-and-roll cooperation on the outside, and Zonda chose to break through and hit the basket.

Seeing that Biedrins was in a good position, Nash distributed the ball to the outside, and Marion in the left corner got a chance.

Stephen Jackson made a mistake in his defensive choice at this time. He did not keep up with Marion at the first time, but chose to assist Biedrins inside to limit Nash's breakthrough.

The hacker's signature [-]-style shot, Jackson turned around in a hurry and rushed back without too much interference.

It's a pity that Marion's shooting ability has really degraded now, probably because Xia Tian was too addicted to cartoons, which caused the former All-Star's three-point ability to decline sharply, and this goal still missed.

The Suns didn't dare to grab the offensive rebound this time. Marion's ball bounced too high, and Jackson easily picked up a defensive rebound without pressure.

The Warriors organize the offense, and when Hill is off the court, the Warriors' first playmaker is always late.

He received the ball outside the three-point line and waited for his teammates to move. Nash seemed a little hesitant. He seemed a little afraid of a late breakthrough.

After all, the rhythm of the late Eurostep breakthrough is super weird. He is known as the most flamboyant Eurostep in the league. Many top defenders with excellent athletic ability have suffered a lot from his Eurostep. Nash knows that his defensive ability is not strong, so he dare not force him too tight.

Then the problem is coming.

As the most abnormally accurate three-point shooter in the league, he has only been late in one game with a shooting percentage below 50%. Is he the kind of player who can let go of a step or two?

Obviously not, that would be courting death.

Seeing that the opportunity was rare when he was late, he raised his hand two steps outside the three-point line and threw it away.

He shot super fast, and Nash pounced on him immediately, but there was still nothing he could do. The goal was scored, and the difference between the two sides reached 18 points!The Suns are about to be beaten.
