The point difference was narrowed to 2 points, the Eagles changed back to the main lineup + Bobby Jackson's mashup, and D'Antoni also changed back to Nash, Marion, Stoudemire, and the lineup on the field was changed to Nash, Barry Bosa, James Jones, Marion, Stoudemire.

Compared with the starting lineup, James Jones, who does not need the ball and is more accurate in open three-pointers, is obviously more suitable for Stoudemire.After being shown a wave of footsteps by Garnett in the low post, Stoudemire immediately counterattacked, benefiting from Nash's go-between to gain a step of space, and forced Garnett's defense head-on, the overlord dunked hard!

If you can dunk, you will definitely not layup, which is why Stoudemire attracts fans when he plays football, but this kind of extreme violent aesthetics is indeed easy to cause injuries, and players who rely too much on their own explosive power are brilliant at their peak, but not for long.

Paul dribbled through the half court, did not enter the offensive zone, and handed the ball directly to Bobby Jackson. After the latter used Garnett's screen, he pulled the ball directly and made a jump shot from outside the three-point line. (51:46)

Bobby Jackson is also a combo guard with the attribute of "nervous knife". When he is pumped up, his shots are really accurate!

Nash was in possession of the ball, and the entire Suns team was actively running without the ball. Just when Paul pushed forward, Nash passed the ball out of his hand.

Before Paul had time to get stuck, Nash had already run to the opposite side of Marion who received the ball.

Marion returned the ball to Nash, but the pass was not good. Nash made a mistake in his first catch, and then fell to the ground with Anthony Parker who jumped up.

Paul and Parker all fell to the ground, but before being overwhelmed to the ground, Nash completed a "fishing for the moon" from behind and hooked the ball into the hands of James Jones in the bottom corner.

"Unbelievable! Master-level ball, Nash perfectly digested the poor pass from Marion and gave James Jones a great opportunity!" Mike Breen shouted as he watched James Jones catch the ball with both hands.

Nash's pass was very comfortable, and the entire right corner was completely in a vacuum. For James Jones, this was equivalent to an open shooting practice. The ball drew an arc in the air and fell to the basket.

"Shh!"

There was a clear sound of wiping the net, and Jones raised his right hand high.

Garnett scored from the low post, and Stoudemire was able to respond immediately; Bobby Jackson hit a three-pointer, and James Jones could also respond!The Suns scored consecutive answerballs and responded in the same way, and the pressure returned to the Eagles.

Just after Paul passed halftime, Nash came to lead the defense.The thin body is not afraid of confrontation, and at the same time, the hands have been interfering with Paul's dribbling.

Carrying the harassment on his back to the top of the arc, Nash still stuck to him without giving an inch, Anthony Parker ran to Paul, and James Jones beside him followed.

When Paul and Parker were only one meter apart, Parker stretched out his hands, and Jones beside him immediately got stuck.

But he was quickly disappointed, because Paul and Parker did not cooperate hand-in-hand at all, but used this wave of operations to distract Nash's attention. A change of direction shook Nash's defense and went straight to the basket.

A feint easily ignited Stoudemire, and Paul passed the ball to Milicic, who dunked easily. (53:49)

As the Eagles continue to score, it depends on whether the Suns can collapse. The two sides will fight each other. Whoever vents their breath first will fall into a great passive position!

As a result, Nash stood up again. After completing the pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, he opened up a little space through the dribbling rhythm, took off laterally, and dodged Garnett's waving arm to score a mid-range jumper.

Forcing Nash to drift shots proved the success of the Eagles' defensive strategy; but Nash just threw the ball in. What should the Eagles do? They can only continue to find their way on the offensive end!

Paul advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the Suns changed their defensive posture. Marion stepped forward to cooperate with Nash to pinch Paul, oppressing Paul's possession.

Caught off guard, Paul was caught by Marion and Nash, but he still controlled the basketball firmly and tried to pass the ball to Milicic who was pulled up to the high post.

Milicic received the ball with one hand, without stopping, and sent it directly to the inside. The basketball was accurately delivered to Garnett. . . . . .

"Beside Dior, everyone is a passing master!" Mike Brin was full of praise for Milicic's non-stop ball transfer.

In fact, Milicic himself has such a basketball talent, but it was more or less stifled in the Pistons.

Including coming to the Eagles, he is also becoming more and more blue-collar, especially this summer, in order to participate in the World Championships, he missed the summer training advice that Ke Yan gave him, and he really missed a good opportunity, and he was doomed next season Will leave the reality of the Eagles.

Milicic continued the offensive momentum of the Eagles, but Garnett stretched his hips. The Wolf King rarely missed both free throws. When he returned to defense, he stared at his hands and expressed disbelief.

Fortunately, he made amends on the defensive end. After Nash created an open space for Marion under the basket, the magic weapon fell from the sky and took Marion's throw from the highest point, and then did not give the referee time to react. Launch a fast break for a while.

Marion is still signaling to the referee to interfere with the ball, Paul has quickly dribbled the ball forward, and at this moment the Suns have only Barbosa retreating.

Barbosa stepped back to the three-point line first, opened his arms, and expanded his defensive area as much as possible.

When he was ready for everything, Paul was less than two meters away from him.

Paul pulled the ball with his right hand and slammed his left foot to Barbosa's left.

Barbosa immediately moved his footsteps, and at this time Nash behind Paul also caught up, which gave Barbosa some confidence.

Paul also noticed that Nash was catching up behind him. When Barbosa moved to the left, Paul pulled the ball back with his right hand, and at the same time tilted his whole body to the left. The ball behind him did not bounce to his left hand. Instead, it will be pulled in front of him.

With a step with his right foot, his whole body leaned to the right, and Paul completely swayed Barbosa away.

The audience at the scene all stood up, the emotions had been rendered in place, and they were waiting for Paul to complete the layup.

"Chris Paul! The imagination is amazing, Barbosa was completely deceived!" Mark Jackson was also completely excited and shouted.

With a smart pick, Paul continued the firepower for the Eagles!The audience applauded thunderously, for Garnett's exaggerated to the extreme block just now, and also for Paul's ghostly extraordinary!

The Eagles gave a chance, but the Suns didn't grasp it. They were counterattacked in turn, and the players' mentality was a little out of balance.

Marion, in particular, was a little entangled in Garnett's "suspected" interference ball just now; He punched directly into the air and was called a technical foul by the referee.

Seeing that the situation was not good, D'Antoni quickly called a timeout to suppress Marion's negative emotions, and Ke Yan also replaced Joe Johnson with the strongest lineup.

The Suns also made personnel adjustments. Harrington and Bell replaced Jones and Barbosa, and they were also the strongest lineup.

However, the "strongest" of the Suns seems to be more correct on paper. James Jones is obviously more suitable for the other four than Harrington. Playing as the sixth man, but D'Antoni put Harrington in the starting lineup for various reasons, and the Suns' smooth offense has always been a bit "sluggish".

The biggest disadvantage of the Eagles is Diaw's absence, and their own offense is also less lubricated; and Joe Johnson is indeed somewhat restricted when facing Marion.Fortunately, Paul and Garnett performed well, helping the team end the first half with a 67:58 lead.

"The Suns and Hawks are the two top offensive teams in the league, but a very interesting scene is that their respective defensive cores limit a scorer on the opposite side. Marion chokes Joe Johnson. One point, this is the biggest contribution he made in the first half. We can see that Joe Johnson made 8 of 2 shots and only scored 5 points. And Garnett also obviously suppressed Stoudemire, the latter 13 This is not his normal level." For the first half of the game, Mark Jackson gave his own summary.

"In the halftime of the game, I will be more optimistic about the Eagles. It's not because they lead by 9 points, but because they don't rely too much on any star on the offensive end. On the Suns side, Nash took on too many tasks. In the first seven games of the season, Barbosa relieved Nash's pressure, but in this game, he failed to do so." Mike Breen was more optimistic about the Eagles, "The season has just begun, but I really feel that , if they can stay healthy, the Hawks will be the favorites for the championship."

"Are there any other favorites in your mind?" Mark Jackson asked.

"Yes, just another team led by an all-star power forward. Haha~" Mike Breen and Mark Jackson both laughed.

The Spurs, Mavericks, Suns and even the Pistons all have an All-Star power forward!

What Mike Breen and Mark Jackson said is relatively simple. In the locker room, Ke Yan is also emphasizing Nash's point, arranging Paul and the defensive players to consume him more, pinch his passing and shooting, and give him a certain space to break through. Simultaneously exert more confrontation!

"Forcing Nash to continue to attack with high difficulty, our chance of winning is more than [-]%!" Ke Yan emphasized, "especially when we have already established an advantage."

"On the offensive end, after the pick-and-roll, whether it's Paul or the inside, face Nash, boldly! Nash's lateral movement is very slow, and his defense is a loophole."

In addition to "scientists", Ke Yan also has a nickname "Earl Lightning", because he is good at fighting "blitzkrieg". In the case of similar resource allocation, after establishing an advantage, it can hold its advantage, or digest this advantage. This is what makes Keyan better than many imitators in the alliance.

In the second half of the game, Keyan's strategy was aimed at Nash.On the defensive end, let Nash start his personal offensive mode with more physical effort; on the offensive end, he will not hesitate to affect the offensive efficiency, but also put more pressure on him. The Suns want to "hide" Nash, the Eagles The team just chased Nash to play!

It doesn't matter if the score is forced to close or even catch up. The point is that if Nash can't stand it, the overall offensive threat of the Suns will be greatly reduced!

Under such guidelines, the Suns completed a wave of 21:12 attacks in the first half of the third quarter, chasing the score to 79:79 before the official timeout.

The substitute players rejoiced and saw the hope of a comeback.But D'Antoni couldn't be happy. He saw Keyan's strategy, but he was a little helpless, because it was not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.

The reason why Ke Yan is so bold is because Garnett restrains Stoudemire's natural attributes!

Facing other opponents, even without Nash, Stoudemire can score by himself, but only against Garnett, without Nash, Stoudemire can't play individual singles!

Barbosa is also constrained by the mobility of Garnett's defense, making it difficult to make a difference.

At this time, the Suns lack a Joe Johnson!Unfortunately, due to salary issues, Joe Johnson was personally given to the Eagles by the Suns!

In a sense, the Eagles, who are so powerful in front of us, were raised little by little by the Suns!

What's even more irritating is that it seems that the Eagles are closer to the championship than the Suns!

After the official timeout came back, the Suns still had the upper hand in the game. With Nash assisting Marion to score a fast-break dunk, the score came to 84:87, and the Suns overtook by 3 points.

The vicissitudes of the third quarter silenced the entire Phillips Center. Just as the fans were worried about the situation in front of them, D'Antoni made a substitution adjustment and replaced Nash with Banks.

"Control the rhythm of the game, don't follow the rhythm of the Eagles to attack!" D'Antoni chose Banks instead of Barbosa because he valued the more stable style of the floor point guard. What the Suns need is to help Nash get a rest time.

However, Nash's end itself was a signal to the Eagles. No matter who was replaced, the Eagles' defensive strategy immediately switched to a high-position attack!

Banks can only be forced to pass the ball out, and before the receiver can react, the Eagles' pincers will come up one at a time, forcing them to keep moving the ball.

However, under the rapid rotation and filling of the Eagles, the fleeting vacancy was quickly filled. The Suns players did not find the rhythm, and they did not even have a chance to break through with the ball. In the end, only Bell was about to break through in 24 seconds. At that time, he hurriedly shot a three-pointer, and the rebound that popped out of the frame was pocketed by Garnett.

The Eagles attacked. With the help of Garnett, Paul threw off Banks' defense and attracted the double-teaming of Stoudemire and Bell. It was Anthony Parker who passed the ball directly to the outside line. The latter hit a three-pointer steadily and showed his value on the offensive end. (87:87)

Looking back, the Suns still had nothing to do with the Eagles' high position. Bell made a pass error and was intercepted by Garnett. Garnett was also "influenced" by Dior. After throwing, he found Joe Johnson who was running down, and the latter easily completed the dunk without any defense! (89:87)

D'Antoni continued to change the lineup, and Barbosa came on the stage, playing double point guards with Banks to facilitate the ball.The Eagles changed their defensive strategies and were still able to prevent the Suns' offense.

Looking back, the Suns misplaced their defense, and Barbosa faced Anthony Parker, allowing Anthony Parker to experience the feeling of "Anthony". He easily pushed to the basket, turned over and made a jump shot! (91:87)

Without Nash, the Suns nearly collapsed at the end of the third quarter, with a net loss of 4 points in 14 minutes, and the score came to 102:91.

The sudden reversal of the situation made the fans say they couldn't understand it. It was only at the end of the festival that Mark Jackson saw Ke Yan's strategy and made his own interpretation of the game.

"The Eagles launched an attack on Nash on both ends of the offense and defense, forcing the Suns into the most uncomfortable offensive rhythm. It can be said that Kimi seized the Suns' weaknesses and developed an effective strategy. It seems , in addition to being a scientist, he is also a strategist!"

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ke Yan changed his previous "five-up-five-down" rotation strategy, leaving Joe Johnson on the field, with Daniel Gibson, Bobby Jackson, Millsap, and Mbenga.

With Joe Johnson in check, Gibson and Millsap both played well, which was much better than digging holes for the main lineup in the first half of the second quarter.

At the same time, a small lineup is more helpful to keep up with Barbosa's assault.After all, Barbosa is only a threat of straight-line acceleration on the counter-attack end, the change of direction is very abrupt, and there is no skill in breakthroughs in positional warfare, otherwise he would not be Barbosa, but Wade.

The point difference was further widened to 15 points. Seeing that the situation was not good, D'Antoni could only replace the main players in advance and make a last-ditch effort.

Ke Yan then replaced Paul, Garnett and others, and the game continued into a tug of war.

Although Nash felt hot at the last moment and hit three three-pointers, the Eagles had no choice but to do a better job in terms of tactics and game details, and played steadily. The final score was fixed at 131:123, and the Eagles held on to the final victory. !

When the red light came on, Paul came to Nash, and the two embraced.

Compared with Garnett's "suppression" of Stoudemire, Paul and Nash can be regarded as "back and forth". Although Nash is much better-looking than Paul in terms of statistics, there are also elements of the Eagles' tactical guidance. Paul's control and organization of the Eagles' overall offensive rhythm is also the key to the Eagles' victory.

"Next time we meet again, I probably won't lose to you." Paul was not only talking about the team's victory or defeat, but also his personal performance.

Another meaning of Paul's words is to admit defeat. At least in this game, Nash's brilliance overwhelmed him after all.

"Kimi is a great coach, under his hands, you can become more perfect." Nash encouraged.

Nash and Paul got together, and Ke Yan and D'Antoni, the former partners, also reunited after a long absence.

"The second thing I regret in my life is signing with you and giving Joe Johnson to you. Let me do it again, I would rather keep him in the West!" D'Antoni said viciously.

"Oh~ what's the most regrettable thing?" Ke Yan asked with a smile.

"I shouldn't have let you go to the Lakers! At that time, I should have kept you no matter what I said." D'Antoni said.

This is not a joke. D'Antoni didn't know that Ke Yan had already planned to be the acting head coach of the Lakers. He only said that he respected the other party's ideas and let Ke Yan leave. Maybe he was more sincere at the time, and maybe Ke Yan would stay.

"My pleasure ~ Mike."
