Milicic did not play the fiery touch against the Warriors on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, the team also defended the Suns.

Without Nash on the court, the Suns' offense has always been a problem.If Joe Johnson is still in the team, it is actually unlikely that such an embarrassing situation will occur!

Marion forced a breakthrough and missed a layup. David Lee grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Joe Johnson.In the singles, Joe didn't push forward immediately, but fell to the ground, pulled to the low post to force Jacobson, turned over and hit a jumper. (39:36)

Marion served the ball from the baseline at the first time, and threw it directly to the frontcourt, trying to catch the Eagles by surprise. His passing strength was very strong, and he had full confidence in Barbosa's speed.

The speed of the Brazilian Lightning did not disappoint Marion. He sprinted with all his strength and chased the ball abruptly, but the moment he caught the ball, he was less than half a meter away from the bottom line, and under full speed, there was no one left. Way to brake.

In the blink of an eye, Barbosa made a puzzling operation. He pressed the ball in the court, and he rushed directly out of the baseline and flew towards the audience. . . . . .

Kittles laughed at Barbosa's great gift. The Eagles ignored Barbosa who fell out of the field, played five-on-four in the frontcourt, and created an offensive opportunity with three passes and two leads. David Lee easily scored a layup. (41:36)

Kittles brushed a steal, David Lee easily scored 2 points, Marion avoided a turnover, and only Barbosa injured the world formed.

A low-level mistake made Barbosa a little distressed. In the next round, he singled out Eddie House, dribbled continuously under the crotch and changed direction, and succeeded in breaking through the right.

Kittles shrinks and flanks Barbosa with Milicic.

Barbosa was not Nash, and failed to pass the ball to the most suitable position, and passed it to Jim Jackson in the right corner.

Jackson made a three-pointer and missed.Milicic got stuck and protected the backcourt rebound.

The Eagles fought again and passed to David Lee in the low post. After catching the ball, he turned around in the middle, and Kurt Thomas jumped up with his right hand and missed a throw.

Marion resisted Milicic and protected the backboard. This time, he obviously had a chance to counterattack, but he did not accelerate his advance, but continued to fall into the quagmire of positional warfare.

Without the team's brains, the Suns' offense was a mess.D'Antoni called a timeout, put Nash back on the court, and controlled the rhythm of the game.

As soon as Nash came on the field, he immediately helped the Suns stop the bleeding on the offensive end. After forcibly erasing House through the change of dribbling rhythm, he took a step back and let the chasing House lose his position on the defensive end. Wait for House to try to defend again It was already a step too late, and I could only watch Nash throw the ball. (41:38)

The Eagles attacked, Joe Johnson and David Lee played a pick-and-roll and then split the ball. David Lee missed a mid-range shot, and Kurt Thomas protected the rebound.

David Lee's offensive efficiency began to decline, and Ke Yan also called Paul, Dior, Josh Smith and others to teach them face-to-face.

The Suns attacked, Nash cut into the penalty area through a pick-and-roll, strolled in the garden of the Eagles penalty area, disrupted the Eagles' defense, and sent a pass behind the back to help Kurt Thomas dress up and score without defense. (41:40)

Whether Nash is here or not, the Suns are completely two teams!This game has a more obvious manifestation.

The Hawks called a timeout after halftime, and Ke Yan made personnel adjustments. House, Joe Johnson, and David Lee were replaced. Paul, Josh Smith, and Diaw came on. Josh Smith was put back at the small forward position. After Barnes left, Keyan had to deal with it.

Paul dribbled the ball in a clear rhythm, with his feet slightly staggered back and forth, looking at Nash in front of him, his desire to challenge was not concealed in his eyes!

The range of the dribble increased, and the shoulders shook to the left and right.

Nash immediately raised the center of gravity of his body. At this moment, Paul leaned sharply to the right, stretched out his left foot to the left, and stepped to the right like lightning, rushing to Nash's right.

Nash's center of gravity quickly shifted to the left, his outstretched arms trying to block Paul's breakthrough.

However, Paul's left foot stopped suddenly, and he stopped his body rushing to the right with the strength obtained by kicking the ground. With his right hand, the ball left in front of him.

When the ball reappeared, it came to the left side of Paul's body and hit the ball with his left hand.

"呵" Paul stepped on the floor with his right foot, leaving a harsh friction sound.

With his left heel, Paul accelerated the dribble and forcibly passed Marion who wanted to defend. With a heavy shot, Paul firmly grasped the ball with both hands, and he stood up from the ground.

The right hand pulled the ball behind his head, his legs bent back, and Paul soared into the air.

Kurt Thomas, who took off a beat slower, collided with Paul.

Boom!Gritting his teeth fiercely, Paul, who has always been known for his dexterity, was unexpectedly tough. His raised right hand was like a sharp knife cutting through Kurt Thomas who was standing in front of him.

"Boom!"

The basket wailed in pain!

Ke Yan on the coach's bench also held his head in his hands, showing an incredible expression.

Although he is the only person who has seen Paul dunk Howard, but seeing Paul score such a "Westbrook" dunk on the spot, it still had a great impact on Ke Yan.

The fans at the Phillips Center cheered wildly. This dunk also inspired the morale of the Eagles team, and both offensive and defensive ends burst into a completely different state.

Under Paul's defense, Nash used more pass control. . . . . .Perhaps "influence" is a more appropriate word, because the game is no longer under Nash's control.

Paul, the first-year rookie, has already challenged Nash.Compared with the last time the two played against each other, Paul has accumulated some experience and is more confident to challenge for the MVP!

In the absence of Joe Johnson, Paul and Diaw's dual-core drive is more stable than the Suns' offense tied to Nash.

Compared with Diaw, who is really not stable in scoring output and is more willing to lead the team with passing, Paul has a "shooting guard" side, and uses a more determined personal offense to help the Eagles maintain their lead.

With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Joe Johnson re-dressed and joined forces with Paul to restart the "roll call" tactic, chasing Nash's offense.

The Eagles went all out and played a wave of 14:5 attacks. Before halftime, the point difference was opened to double digits.

At 64:51, the Eagles entered the second half with a 13-point lead!

It is indeed a direct dialogue between the two teams with the strongest offensive power in the league. The confrontation between the two teams made the fans dizzy. Even during the intermission, there were fans everywhere discussing what happened just now. wonderful attack.Among them, the most talked about is, of course, Paul's shocking button!

Even Ke Yan didn't expect Paul to be so "violent"!

However, at the beginning of the second half, Paul, who had a good touch in the first half, seemed to have lost his touch in the locker room, missing five consecutive shots.The Suns took the opportunity to play a 16:7 attack wave and narrowed the point difference to 4 points in the first half of the third quarter.

However, Ke Yan did not criticize the players, but asked the players to insist on the tactic of "calling" Nash, and he did not hesitate to use the team's greater consumption to fight for Nash.

As long as there is a problem with Nash's physical strength, the Suns will be self-defeating!

Restricted by the physical talent brought about by birth, Nash's confrontation is not outstanding.But he did polish his physical fitness very well. The defensive end was constantly impacted, but he was still able to maintain a stable and efficient offensive end.Although the Suns' offense requires Nash to hold the ball a lot and comb it to find the right direction, he is very familiar with it.

On the contrary, the Eagles, after being penetrated by Nash again and again, the defensive formation also loosened!

This is equivalent to the "defensive counterattack" on the football field. There is only "defense" without "counterattack", and it must be impossible to defend!Players are human beings too, and it is impossible for them to maintain a high degree of nervous tension all the time.

At this time, Ke Yan has nothing to do.As a coach, he can design the most targeted tactics that can restrict 99.99% of players, but there are always some geniuses that you cannot resist.

Duncan was able to smash the Lakers' three-high formation by himself, and Nash also supported the Suns' offense with super physical fitness and super offensive awareness!

The Suns scored 35:26 in the third quarter, narrowing the point difference to 4 points!

In the fourth quarter of the game, the game has completely entered a white-hot state. The two sides compete for every point, the body contact has increased, and the physical consumption has also increased. Of course, this is the result of Ke Yan's intention. The team has more people who can control the ball, and they are here to fight this war of attrition with the Suns.

For the Eagles, only Joe Johnson has played longer. So far, he has played 37 minutes. Paul, Diaw, and Josh Smith have played no more than 34 minutes, not to mention that they share the pressure on the court.

As for the Suns, Nash has played 39 minutes, and Marion has played more than 40 minutes!

The Eagles have an absolute advantage in physical strength!

Nash stood on the three-point line, propped his hands on his knees, panting heavily, looked up at Paul who was advancing forward, and waited for the opponent to pass halftime before standing upright.

Paul's dribbling rhythm is getting faster and faster. After a forward change, the ball passes through Paul's crotch, and then Paul's body turns around.

Nash kicked his right foot and slid laterally to the left, trying to block Paul's attack.

At this moment, Paul pulled back suddenly and took a step-back jumper. Although Nash barely jumped up, he still looked at the ball and sighed.

"Swish!" (116:110)

There was a clear sound of wiping the net, and Nash smiled wryly.

In the transition between offense and defense, Nash dribbled the ball forward, cruising beyond the three-point line with the ball.

The Eagles' defense has become stronger, and the Suns' continuous running positions are all stared to death. This makes Nash want to pass the ball and can't find a good catcher for a while, and wants to pull out the horse to cover. Lyon was also entangled tightly by Josh Smith.

"I can only do it by myself!" Nash gritted his teeth, his physical fitness seemed to recover a little at this moment, and the rhythm of dribbling in his hands also picked up.

Suddenly, he shook his body violently, and the right hand holding the ball slammed the ball. When the ball hit the ground, he stepped out with his left foot, and his body tilted accordingly. The shaking of his right shoulder made Paul's defense hesitate for a while.It was this hesitation that Nash seized the opportunity to complete the breakthrough.

Josh Smith's supplementary defense was quick, Nash took the next step, compressed the defense of the Eagles and then returned the ball to Marion who inserted in the back row, the hacker took a step forward and wanted to throw a shot, but was defended by Paul interference.

"Beep!" The referee whistled Paul for a foul.

Marion made one of two free throws.Paul earned a point for his foul this time. (116:111)

The Eagles attacked, Joe Johnson leaned against Bell, caught the ball in the low post, turned around in the middle and made a fallback jumper.

Compared with Joe Johnson, Bell's height and shape are not right, so he can only try his best to close his eyes, but if he can't cover them, the goal is scored! 118:111.

In order to save money, Savor let go of Joe Johnson, who is very suitable for the team and can help Nash relieve pressure.Today, Joe Johnson made his old club suffer for himself!

The Suns attacked, Nash broke through with the ball, was double-teamed near the penalty area, and separated the ball from the periphery.

Marion catches the ball on the left side, Josh Smith makes up the defense in time, Marion lacks confidence, and distributes the ball to Harrington in the rib, Harrington catches the ball and makes a shot, Dior saves it in time, the defense interferes with the shot, The ball missed again, and the rebound was grabbed by Posey who retracted.

After landing, Posey passed it to Joe Johnson. The latter held the ball and quickly passed Bell's defense.

Dio paused for a while after catching the ball, which accidentally disturbed Marion's center of gravity. The hacker staggered and almost fell.A rare opportunity, Dior took the ball to the inside, and made a three-step layup and easily scored. 120:111.

With two and a half minutes left in the game, the Eagles opened up the point difference to 9 points, and the victory is set!D'Antoni called a timeout, Ke Yan got up and gave the players high fives one by one.

If they beat the Suns in this game, the Eagles will complete the feat of "killing cattle and horses day". For an Eastern team, this achievement is quite special!

Before Marion sent the ball, D'Antoni called another timeout.

"Called two timeouts in a row to restore Nash's physical strength." Ke Yan saw through D'Antoni's trick at a glance, and warned the players, "The more the Suns are like this, the less optimistic Nash's physical fitness is. Who will play up later? Nash who will attack. We have a 9-point advantage, nothing to be afraid of!"

The Suns players continued to pick and roll and move. The Eagles players switched defenses very quickly and did not easily lose their positions. James Jones barely made a three-pointer and missed. He complained to the referee about Posey's thugs, but the referee ignored it.

Marion failed to grab an offensive rebound, Dior pushed the ball out of the penalty area with one hand, Joe Johnson picked up the rebound and passed it to Josh Smith, Josh Smith held the ball and rushed Bell to the inside, attracting Jones to double-team and then forcibly After missing a layup, Joe Johnson, who followed up, picked up the rebound and made up the ball. (122:111)

The point difference came to 11 points, with 2 minutes left, and the game completely lost its suspense.

Half a minute later, the Suns replaced the main players and conceded the shot.

The final score was fixed at 126:115. The Eagles shot the sun at home and completed the kill against the top three in the West.

"You really taught other teams how to play against us!" After the game, D'Antoni and Keyan came together, and D'Antoni complained.

"Rolling" Nash's tactics played a big role in this game, and it is estimated that someone will imitate them in subsequent games.

"I just want to say that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. If other teams imitate rashly, it should be a good thing for you." Ke Yan said.

The Eagles used the "roll call" tactic to drag Nash down. First, it was based on the fact that the team has a pair of top-level backcourt combinations with singles capabilities in the league. Both of them can stare at Nash. Among other teams, there are such configurations The "Parker + Ginobili" of the Spurs, TJ Ford + Reed of the Bucks, and Arenas + Daniels of the Wizards are very reluctant.As for the Suns against the Spurs, Nash can defend Bowen, who knows nothing but corner three-pointers, so the Spurs may be easy to imitate.

Secondly, the performance of the Eagles' bench lineup in this game is also the key to victory.The Suns have a weak bench lineup. For the Hawks, David Lee played a good output, forcing Nash to lead the team early.

All in all, without a strong backcourt combination support, without a solid bench lineup to play an advantage, the roll call tactics can only suppress Nash, and there is no way to win.

After the game, Ke Yan, Paul, and Joe Johnson became the focus of media interviews.

The reporter asked Ke Yan: "In today's game, the Eagles consciously targeted Nash on the offensive end and achieved good results. Do you think this exposed Nash's weakness?"

"The hacking tactics exposed O'Neal's weakness in free throws. Can you say he is weak? Moreover, even if we consciously targeted Nash, he still scored 26 points and 14 assists. I think he is too great." Ke Yan spoke for Nash.

These American reporters still don't want to see crooked nuts win the MVP!

Commenting on the reason for the win, Ke Yan said: "I was an assistant coach under Mike, but my tactical style is closer to the old Nelson, because I don't like the team's offense to be guided by one person. I think Joe Johnson The joining of the Eagles is of great significance to our Eagles, a shooting guard who can score and pass the ball is too important to us!"

Ke Yan almost made it clear that it was a huge mistake for the Suns to let Joe Johnson go!
