The 0607 season is a season in which the strength gap between the teams in the league is relatively obvious in recent seasons.This point can be seen from the 10+ winning streak of several strong teams.

Only half of the season has passed, the Eagles, Mavericks, and Suns each completed a 12+ winning streak, and now, the Eagles and Mavericks are hitting their next 10+ winning streak, and the Suns, still He is working hard to continue his winning streak.

If it weren't for this direct dialogue, maybe the Eagles could easily continue their winning streak, and the Suns could also create more brilliant results.But unfortunately, the arrangement of fate made the two teams meet at this time.At the same time, this is also the Las Vegas All-Star Game, a battle between the two head coaches of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams ahead of schedule.

Before the start of the game, Ke Yan chatted with D'Antoni as usual, but found that he was a little "passionate". As the Eagles were promoted to the level of "competitors", D'Antoni was not as enthusiastic about him as before.

It's normal for D'Antoni to feel some resentment when he sees his former subordinate's momentum surpassing his own!Not to mention, he also contributed to the Eagles' take-off. It was he who "supported" Joe Johnson and helped the Eagles complete the first step of reconstruction!

After the simple greetings, Ke Yan returned to his seat, feeling a little embarrassed.If one day, Snyder forms a galaxy battleship in the Bobcats to challenge himself, I don't know what attitude I will have when I look at him.

The final preparation time before the game passed quickly in a restless atmosphere. Players from both sides stood on the field and the game was about to start.

The Hawks' starting lineup hasn't changed much, Paul, Joe Johnson, Battier, Garnett and Diaw.According to statistics, this set of first half-round net points is as high as 20.4 points, the first in the league, far ahead of the configuration of the Mavericks Terry, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, and Dampier.

Compared with the last round of confrontation, the Suns lineup has changed. Richardson, who was traded from the Warriors, served as the team's starting small forward. He is the outside attacker who best matches Nash's style of play after Joe Johnson. , It can not only provide accurate outside shooting, but also use the ghost's running position to score, and even play singles with the ball when Nash is targeted by the key defense.

In exchange for Richardson, who is more suitable for the team, in exchange for Harrington, who does not match the team, the deal reached by the Suns and the Warriors can be described as a win-win situation!

This is also the reason why Ke Yan is somewhat unclear about the situation in the Western Conference this season. The Warriors have been weakened, and it is still unknown whether they can complete the black eight; the Suns have also strengthened.The Spurs have to break through the Suns and the Mavericks to enter the finals, which is not easy.

"drop--"

The referee whistled, Stoudemire won the jump ball cleanly, and allocated the basketball to Nash, and the game officially started.

No anti-theft

Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and beckoned Stoudemire to come up to cover in the first round. After seeing Nash's gesture, Paul knew that the opponent was going to play a pick-and-roll. He glanced back to see if Stoudemire was Where did it come from, so that he could prepare to squeeze the cover.

But at the moment Paul was distracted, Nash raised his hand and threw a three-pointer without warning!

The timing of Nash's shot was really unexpected. Paul didn't react at all. He could only watch the basketball fly over his head, draw a high arc, and fall straight into the net.

"Shh!"

3: 0.

After the ball was scored, even the entire American West Center was at a standstill for a moment, as if shocked by Nash's lightning-like three-pointer, and then burst into cheers.

"Hey, Nash made an unreasonable three-pointer at the beginning. This shot reflects his experience! He hit Paul by surprise!" Zhang Lili said, "We often broadcast Eagles games, usually Well, Paul used these little tricks to play tricks on his opponents, and this time he met his grandfather!"

The Eagles attacked, Joe Johnson held the ball across the half court, handed the ball to Diaw who pulled out from the three-point line, then accelerated his movement, and took away Marion who was marking him.

The other players of the Eagles also opened up the space one after another, and Diaw created a chance to single Richardson.Dior is holding the ball and rushing inside. Richardson, you use your strength to mark him, but he turns around nimbly and wipes it away. If you try to block the position, you can't stand on your feet at all. You can't help but watch Dior oppress Get to the basket, dress up and score.

Dior is considered "short in stature and soft (lazy)" among the inside players, but he is an insider after all, and he has to make a living on the inside every day. If he opens his posture and fights inside, Richardson will definitely not be able to guard against it.

The round changed, the Suns attacked, and Nash still held the ball. This time Paul stepped forward to defend.

Although he didn't make the All-Defensive Team last season, Paul's defensive ability is quite good among point guards. He entangled Nash firmly and did not give the opponent a chance to break through.

Marion mentioned the position at the top of the arc, and his wide body blocked Paul firmly behind him. Nash used his cover to get rid of the defense.After completing the "block", Marion slid down immediately. Paul and Diaw all chose to pounce on Nash, handing Marion and Stoudemire to Garnett.

Nash gave the ball to Marion. The latter noticed Garnett's replacement. Instead of handing the ball to Stoudemire, he played a time difference himself. basket.

The media said that "Nash, Marion, Stoudemire" is the MSN combination, but the relationship between Marion and Stoudemire depends on Nash to reconcile.It's not about their relationship here, it's about their style of play.

Last season, when Stoudemire was reimbursed for the season due to injury, Marion sent 21.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.7 blocks. During the season, when Stoudemire came back, Marion directly lost the possession of the ball. His statistics dropped to 17.5 points and 9.8 rebounds. He was obviously not good at shooting, but he had to make way for Stoudemire and stand in a more outside position. Make room.

Looking back, Marion has to do the dirty work on the defensive end. Insiders like Nowitzki and Boozer need Marion to defend; outside scorers like Joe Johnson are usually Marion's misplaced defense.It gives people the feeling that Marion is supporting Stoudemire and doing the dirty work, but more resources on the offensive end are allocated to Stoudemire.

The Eagles attacked, Garnett received the ball at the horns, hit Stoudemire with his back, squeezed twice to the inside and then turned around flexibly, practiced blood and tapped Stoudemire twice to induce the opponent to take off Played a time difference and sent the ball to the basket.

The offenses in the opening two consecutive rounds were all singles, which is not "Eagle"!

In the next few rounds, the Eagles resolutely flanked Nash on the defensive end. While exerting higher confrontation, they also tried to block Nash's passing line. The disadvantage of this is that it is easy to form a "one defense two" situation in the interior , but the intention is also obvious, which is to "consume" Nash.

On the offensive end, the Eagles have added individual singles.Nash and Stoudemire are both obvious defensive loopholes, and they happen to be on the offensive strengths of the Eagles (Paul, Garnett).

At the 6th minute of the first quarter, the Eagles were attacking. Ke Yan gestured to Paul to attack. Paul nodded to show his understanding.

As usual, he called for cover, but this time the target who came up to cover was none other than Joe Johnson.

While Joe held up Nash in the singles, Paul immediately accelerated to break through to the inside. Marion retreated and followed without saying a word, leaving Nash to Joe Johnson.

.

.

Paul broke through "blocked", slowed down and walked to the wing, and handed the ball to Joe Johnson outside the three-point line.The latter catches the ball and grabs Nash from the frame, easily pushes the opponent away, and hits a mid-range shot! (15:15)

Looking back, the Suns missed the offense, the rebound was grabbed by Garnett, Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and still used the cover of Joe Johnson to complete the breakthrough, and then handed the ball to Joe Johnson to force Nash, Richard Mori misses Dior, and Dior fakes to seduce Bell to defend, but the moment the opponent pounces on him, he distributes the ball to Battier in the bottom corner, and the latter hits a three-pointer accurately! (18:15)

"The Suns are starting to work hard! Use the pick-and-roll of Joe Johnson and Paul to start the offense. It happens that the Suns are misplaced and misplaced defense. This kind of pick-and-roll can create Paul's small attack against Marion. Joe Johnson is strong. Eating Nash also has an obvious advantage in size! As for the Suns, other people don’t make up for it. Joe Johnson can play whatever he wants here! But if you fill up, it will naturally reveal a gap. The key point is that the Eagles can catch the transfer ball These gaps!" Zhang Lili said with emotion, "Ke Yan is really powerful, and his thinking is really open!"

In Ke Yan's previous life, Zhang Lili spoke for the Lakers and Kobe on a daily basis, intentionally or unintentionally blackmailing other stars.Therefore, many people say that Zhang Reasonable's real name is "Weiping Bryant", but he himself disagrees with this statement, saying that the reason he supports the Lakers is Phil Jackson, who is "Zen Secret".

In 2011, Zhang Lili also made a statement on his scarf: "Many people say that I am a Lakers fan and a Kobe fan, but it is not true; I am a Zen master fan, and I am a very old fan. From the Bulls in the past to the Lakers now, I support the team he coaches. As a person who has witnessed him from assistant coach to coach to legendary coach at close range, I am indeed impressed by him."

But it was useless to say these verbally. Zen master dismissed get out of class from the Lakers and went to the Knicks as the general manager. Zhang Lili did not turn to support the Knicks, but continued, "Kobe made a shot! Good shot! Oh, it's a pity that I didn't make it. Although I didn't Go in, but the tactics are played out, this kind of ball is very reasonable." The attributes are obviously exposed, he is Comey!

In this life, although Kobe has also contributed some "famous games", the Lakers' share of broadcasting in China is not enough, and Zhang Lili hasn't had time to cover him up.His current attribute is "Ke Mi", Ke Yan's Ke!

The Eagles hit the pick-and-roll again, Joe Johnson charged Nash to the inside, Marion retreated to the penalty area and missed Paul, who caught the ball and hit a three-pointer accurately, the Eagles completed a wave of 8:0 attacks, with 6 points Advantage enters the official suspension. (15:21)

After returning from the timeout, the Eagles continued to target Nash, resolutely double-teamed him on the defensive end, and increased consumption of him; on the offensive end, Joe Johnson frequently found opportunities to misplace him to attack him, which not only disrupted the defensive formation of the Suns, but also constantly Consume Nash's stamina.

At 25:34, after the first quarter, the Suns fell behind by 9 points.This is nothing like a team with 12 consecutive victories!

In the second quarter of the game, D'Antoni put Stoudemire on the court against the relatively weak substitute of the Eagles, and cooperated with the Brazilian Lightning Barbosa to chase points!

Nash's defense and physical fitness are his Achilles' heel, and the Eagles also have the Eagles' weakness, that is, the strength of the bench lineup is insufficient!No way, the Eagles chose to trade depth for strength!

But compared to D'Antoni who can never cover up Nash's problem, Ke Yan has many ways to solve the team's weak bench lineup. He can open the score as soon as possible and let the main players clock in in three quarters; he can selectively give up some games , anyway, he is in the east, and he has an obvious advantage: when facing a strong enemy, he can even increase the playing time of the main players, so he can play the main players to death!

3 minutes into the second quarter.The Suns approached the score to 2 points, and Ke Yan replaced the Big Three at 9 minutes and 05 seconds to match up with Gibson and Milicic in the Suns' rotation.

As soon as the main players appeared on the stage, Paul and Garnett immediately restrained Barbosa and Stoudemire. Stoudemire was a bit "bullying the good and fearing the evil", or he was really restrained to death by Garnett dead

Controlling Stoudemire's point, the Eagles then gained an advantage on the scene.

Such a situation is tantamount to a dilemma handed over to D'Antoni.Immediately follow, change to the main lineup to fight, Nash will be more consumed, not sure if this veteran can hold on; but if the Eagles reverse the "Tian Ji horse racing", use the fourth to abuse the Suns' middle four , Once the point difference is widened, the main players are equivalent to "scoring points with weight", which is also very troublesome!

"This game is interesting!" Zhang Lili said excitedly, "Ke Yan is now playing this game as a playoff! It depends on how D'Antoni chooses."

"If you hesitate, you will lose." D'Antoni knew the essence of this sentence, so he made a decisive decision and replaced the main players to start a decisive battle with the Eagles!

Returning to the court, the main players of the Suns played exquisite cooperation. It was still the pick-and-roll between Nash and Marion. Nash broke into the penalty area and attracted double-teams. After plugging in Richardson.

The slam dunk king received the ball, and he was not polite, soaring towards the Eagles' basket, he completed the dunk against Dior's defense!

"eon!" Stoudemire pushed Richardson to vent his depression.

The fans at the scene also cheered for Nash's exquisite pass and Richardson's domineering dunk with applause.

On the sidelines, Ke Yan also showed a smile,

He likes Diaw, who is now in charge of the defensive end!
