Chapter 216 Passive
In the anticipation, the Warriors' back-to-back home games against the Suns who came to challenge started soon.

In addition to the two heavyweight media, ESPN and TNT, which broadcast live the key battle today, China's Imperial TV station also broadcast the game live.

After winning the championship, the Warriors played a lot of national games this year. They ranked third in the league after the Lakers and Cavaliers with Kobe and James with 23 games.

However, China TV does not lose every match, and broadcasts the Rockets and Warriors games throughout. When there is a conflict between the schedules of the two sides, the Imperial TV station is also the way to choose one Warriors and one Rockets.

Recently, Chinese fans are very distressed, because they can look forward to too many teams.

The Rockets and Warriors are centered on Chinese players, and they are undoubtedly the "home teams" of Chinese fans.

Wang Zhizhi performed brilliantly in the Cavaliers. Although he has declined compared to last season's outstanding performance in the finals, he has become the Cavaliers' second-in-command and the most reliable helper around James (that is, he is always sprayed as a CBA teammate. ).

Yi Jianlian's situation is also somewhat unexpected. Originally, many fans believed that after the Celtics formed the Big Three, Yi Jianlian could not compete against Garnett, so he would not have much playing time.But throughout November, Yi Jianlian played a lot of playing time. His average playing time reached 11 minutes, ranking seventh in the Celtics.

In addition to serving as a substitute for Garnett, he sometimes plays center.

In the summer, he has intensively trained three-pointers and physical confrontation, so when he plays a center in the interior, he can defend against most center players, and with his range advantage, he can help Pierce create more breakthrough space.

The most important thing is Garnett - this old hooligan who once beat up his team's rookies takes great care of Yi Jianlian. Fans can often see him on the court guiding Yi Jianlian to move, and sometimes he will take the initiative to go inside. Help Yi Jianlian make up defense.

As we all know, Garnett deliberately reported his height short because he didn't want to play center.

Closer to home, the morale of the Suns is booming, and they retained the main lineup from last season.

Mike D'Antoni sent the absolute main force of the team, Boris Diaw, Stoudemire, Marion, Lagabel and Steve Nash.

The Warriors' lineup has not changed much. Milicic and Harrington start inside, Hill plays small forward, and Roy and Late appear in the back line respectively.

Stoudemire proved why his nickname is bully.

Although Milicic has a height advantage and is also recognized as a white player with excellent physical fitness, he still lost in front of Stoudemire's beast-level bounce.

Stoudemire gave the ball to Nash, and the game immediately reached a climax.

The five starting lineups of the Suns are all fast-moving players, and they have already settled into the offensive formation in an instant. Nash also dribbled the ball into the Warriors' half court for the first time.

D'Antoni has lost to teams with lateness for several consecutive years. Naturally, he has spent a lot of time studying lateness, especially in last year's finals. D'Antoni really regards lateness as his biggest enemy.

He found that the Suns really couldn't defend against late arrivals. They had Marion and Bell on the perimeter, two strong defensive players, but Marion's strength had declined significantly, and the real core of perimeter defense had become Bell.

But Bell is obviously impossible to defend the Warriors' terrifying outside offensive ability alone, especially the terrifying three-pointer late, which may fire at any time.

Then D'Antoni had to admit that the best way to beat lateness is to attack!

But the problem before D'Antoni is that Late's defensive ability is not weak, at least among the league's outside players, it is actually top-notch.

It's just that his three-pointers are so accurate that people will always habitually ignore his defensive ability.

So whenever someone mentions being late, everyone's first thought will always be: three-pointers are super accurate, super scorers.

So D'Antoni studied for a summer, and finally found a late weakness-moving speed!

Late is 191cm tall. Although it is a bit of a false report, he is a powerful point guard with considerable confrontation ability. His moving speed can only be regarded as average among defenders!
This is the upper limit brought by physical talent. Even if you are late and three-point accurate, you can't change the fact that your physical fitness is actually just an ordinary person.

Nash's physical talent is not outstanding, but his biggest advantage is his fast movement speed. After all, he was also known as the "son of the wind" back then.

After a simulation attempt, D'Antoni believes that if the Suns want to compete with the Warriors on offense, they should not slow down their rhythm, but should further speed up the rhythm. The opportunity to be seated.

What Chi Duo is good at is direct confrontation with opponents. It is impossible for him to chase and defend opponents and stage a big hat.

Although Nash is now 33 years old, he still maintains a good movement speed, coupled with superb ball handling ability, so that he still has amazing speed when attacking.

After he got the ball, he didn't give the Warriors time to react at all, and immediately rushed up.

He was late and failed to get a good position, and couldn't catch up with Nash, so he could only watch him go away.

Stoudemire didn't rush into the inside line immediately, he stood directly outside the three-point line and waited for Nash to come over, then made an outside screen, and he immediately made an air cut.

Nash dribbled into the inside of the Warriors, and Harrington was caught in a dilemma. Should he defend Nash's breakthrough, or block Stoudemire's air cut?

In the end, Harrington chose to defend against Nash's breakthrough, but this one of the top passing masters in the league immediately seized the opportunity and passed the ball without looking at anyone.

Stoudemire rushed in like a whirlwind, caught the ball just right, and jumped directly to the Warriors basket.

"boom!"

Bully Stoudemire, he ravaged the rim.

Since suffering a serious injury, Stoudemire has learned to shoot in the middle. He has gradually reduced his dunks hitting the basket, but this not only did not reduce his threat on the offensive end, but became more Difficult to defend.

He never went to the inside to fight hand-to-hand with his opponents. He relied on his amazing impact. Even the current Yao Ming would still have a big headache when facing Stoudemire who had already charged up.

Nash's pass is also indispensable. The two did not communicate beforehand, but they showed an amazing tacit understanding.

After scoring the goal, the Suns immediately retreated quickly, not giving the Warriors a chance to play a quick attack.

He was late to receive a pass from his teammate, and slowly dribbled the ball across the half. Bell immediately posted it.

D'Antoni is still willing to use the most defensive Bell to defend him, at least to limit the late three-pointers.

Late didn't make the impulsive choice, and he handed the ball to Roy.

Huang Mamba faced Nash directly, bullying him that his defensive ability was not strong enough, so he chose to break through with the ball directly.

However, Diaw and Stoudemire on the inside of the Warriors are very mobile, and they immediately put in place defenses, blocking Roy's breakthrough route.

Roy hesitated and chose to pass the ball to Milicic inside.

This ball was a bit taken for granted. He bullied Dior for his lack of height, but he didn't expect that this guy was not bad at athletic ability. He jumped up and intercepted the ball. The Suns got a chance to counterattack, and all the players immediately went straight to the Warriors half court.

This time it took only four seconds for the Suns to complete the offense. Nash dribbled the ball to the basket and made a layup. The Suns took a four-point lead at the beginning.

But the Warriors players are still full of confidence and are not vigilant because of the good state shown by the Suns at the beginning.

The Warriors still couldn't find an opportunity to attack quickly. It took more than ten seconds for the ball to pass on the outside.

Marion's level has dropped a lot now, and his athletic ability and shooting ability have also declined, but he has a pair of amazingly long arms, and he immediately raised his hand to block it.

Hill played the ball too sloppily and was seriously interfered by Marion.

Milicic rushed to the basket to try to grab the offensive rebound, but Dio did a good job in positioning. With his help, Stoudemire easily got the defensive rebound and launched a fast-break counterattack with a pass.

Nash moved super fast, he started almost at the same time as the late, but when he reached the Warriors basket, he was already two or three steps ahead, and made another easy layup.

Reggie Miller, who explained the game, said with a smile: "The Suns' morale is so strong today. It seems that they are eager to win this game, and their pace is very fast. We can notice that the total amount of energy consumed by their first three offenses The time is less than 20 seconds, it seems that today will be a crazy battle."

During the commentary on the imperial court, it was obviously more inclined to be late. Lao Zhang frowned: "These players on the Suns field are too athletic. As long as the Warriors miss a goal, they will immediately launch a quick counterattack. , so that the Warriors have no way to make adjustments in the defensive formation. It seems that D'Antoni has studied the Warriors very carefully. If the Warriors continue to play like this, it will be difficult for them to create a new record."

The old Nelson on the sidelines has a lot of experience, and he has already seen the intention of the Suns in just three short offenses.

"Through the fast-paced offensive method, is the weakness of lack of physical talent in late play? It is quite a bold decision, but Nash is 33 years old after all, and this fast-paced play will also have a huge burden on his body. If he can't keep going, all the hard work of the Suns will be in vain."

After speaking in a low voice, Old Nelson rubbed the space between his brows and began to think about how to crack the Suns' tactics.

At this moment, he felt a dull pain in his heart.
