Pause returns.The Suns launched an offense. Nash used Marion's pick-and-roll to break into the basket. After attracting Garnett's help, he gave the ball to Stoudemire on the free throw line. Nate didn't jump up to make up the defense, and when he made another shot, his shooting rhythm was disrupted instead.

"Stoudemire failed to make this goal! This is an open space, and Garnett gave up defending!" Yoga was a little surprised. After returning from injury this season, Stoudemire showed that he was injured and practiced for a season. The mid-range shots that came out had a pretty good hit rate. It was quite surprising to lose this big open.

"Stoudemire thought that Garnett would come up to defend, but in fact he hesitated!" As a former national player, Zhang Lili saw Stoudemire's psychology at a glance, and explained, "At this time, the more you think The more, the more likely it will be inaccurate!"

Paul quickly advanced and switched offense and defense. Taking advantage of the Suns' unstable foothold, he made a mid-range shot, which also missed.

The Suns attacked, and Marion pulled the ball outside the three-point line to catch the ball. Seeing that no one was defending himself, he directly shot the iconic 83-style shot from outside the three-point line and made a hit! (78:[-])

Ke Yan has always "looked down" on Marion, a soft-footed shrimp in the playoffs. As a result, Marion continued his life for the Suns at a critical moment, and Milicic, who was in charge of defending him, blamed himself.

Ke Yan made an "applause" gesture to Milicic on the coach's bench, and then pointed to himself.It means it's my own problem, not his.

Paul dribbled the ball across the half court and gave the ball to Joe Johnson. Marion pressed hard and did not give Joe Johnson room to shoot.

Ganetra came out to do a pick-and-roll for Joe Johnson. Stoudemire was afraid that the rebound would explode, so he didn't follow up. Joe Johnson easily broke into the three-point line, made a mid-range shot, and made an accurate hit. (85:78)

The Suns used Marion to face Joe Johnson. Although they achieved a good single-defense effect, the Eagles have two killer moves that can punish their opponents more easily.

One is the backcourt pick-and-roll between Paul and Joe Johnson. If Paul does not switch defenses, Paul resolutely breaks into the penalty area. If he switches defenses, Joe Johnson calls Nash, which has a huge advantage; Under the emptiness, Battier and Milicic can dominate the Suns' basket; if they don't follow up, it depends on Joe Johnson's open mid-range touch.

In fact, the Suns have a great perimeter defender, Bell, but he is 5 centimeters shorter than Joe Johnson and weighs 14 pounds less. Shooting three-pointers and not being able to play their role on the defensive end is a headache for D'Antoni.

In the next 3 minutes, the Eagles used Milicic and Garnett to stick to the basket, restricting Nash and Stoudemire from operating in the Hawks penalty area, and Stoudemire or Marion pulled to the free throw line CIC, the Eagles gave up a certain amount of space.

In this case, Stoudemire's efficiency was not high, only 5 of 2 shots and 4 points.

In turn, Joe Johnson has become a nightmare for the Suns, frequently launching pick-and-rolls and frantically targeting Stoudemire.

Stoudemire didn't believe in evil, and rushed to defend, but still couldn't limit Joe Johnson's singles. Even if he didn't make it, the Eagles controlled the Suns' basket and harvested offensive rebounds recklessly.

After the third quarter, the Eagles lead the Suns by 94 points 82:12, which is also the biggest difference between the two teams in this game.

During the intermission, D'Antoni looked up at the data column, finally made up his mind, and said to Bell: "Raja, you came to defend Joe Johnson in the fourth quarter, is there a problem?"

Bell sat on the chair, panting heavily, sweat soaked his jersey, nodded and agreed: "No problem, Joe Johnson will leave it to me."

In the first round of the playoffs against the Lakers, D'Antoni arranged Bell to defend Kobe.

Joe Johnson is taller than Kobe. Like Kobe, he is good at mid-range work. He can use his skillful dribble to open up the shooting space when facing taller opponents; Open the space above the body, turn over and shoot a jumper.

Bell didn't know if he could guard Joe Johnson, but he knew that the Suns had to make changes, and he couldn't back down!

While on the Hawks bench, Ke Yan directed the players to start the fourth quarter and strive to take away the Suns!

"This group of Suns is also playing in the Finals for the first time, and they are also afraid of falling behind. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they will definitely attack hard. This is also our opportunity!"

In the tense atmosphere, the fourth quarter officially started!

Almost all the main lineups of the two sides remained on the field. The only change was that Ke Yan replaced Milicic with Dior, which was a signal of "strengthening the offense".

The Eagles took the lead in attacking. Paul held the ball for half court, and the rhythm slowed down to land. All five members of the team were active on the outside, forcing Stoudemire to defend the basket.

Joe Johnson received the ball from the flank, with his right foot as a support point, suddenly turned half a circle to the right, and raised the ball as a fake shot. Bell behind him didn't jump up, but took another step forward when Joe Johnson turned around, desperately Hold on to Joe Johnson.

Height and confrontation are not dominant, Bell can only defend Joe in this way.

Joe Johnson squatted down, slapped the ball with his left hand, and bowed his body to squeeze towards Joe Johnson.

Bell took a small step back, and then firmly supported Joe Johnson's waist, spreading his feet to form a horse step, firmly blocking the opponent's pressure.

Bell's center of gravity sank completely. Joe Johnson turned halfway again and withdrew his left foot, kicked his right foot, and bounced the distance between the two people. With a flick of his wrist, the ball flew to the basket tumbling.

"Shh!"

"Beautiful singles, Joe Johnson is really not soft at all today!" Yoga said with emotion.

"Yes, this shot is very tough, and it feels like Kobe is holding it." Here it comes again, and Zhang Lili becomes "Weiping Bryant" again.

If Jordan enters the league behind Kobe, according to Zhang's reasonable temperament, Jordan must be called Kobe II.

Before the two commentators finished speaking, the Suns quickly played a conversion attack. After Nash broke into the basket, he returned the ball to Marion who was plugging in. The latter forcibly wiped Garnett's defense and sent the ball to . . . . . .

"Crack!" The basket guarded by Garnett was not so easy to break through. The wolf king took off from behind and gave Marion a big cap, then took off the rebound, handed the ball to Paul, and hit the Suns in turn. The team's offensive and defensive transition.

It's still Joe Johnson, who catches the ball on the wing, fakes a shot, forces Stoudemire to stretch out, and a ground-thump pass to Diaw at the basket, who catches it and steps forward. , Then he pulled it up immediately, and dunked vigorously with both hands. (98:82)

While Dior dunked, Nash was already shouting at Stoudemire. The bully sent the baseline ball immediately, and the Suns played a conversion attack. Nash broke into the penalty area and used his own footsteps to train Garnett to sway the wolf king. , Score a layup. (98:84)

Forcing Nash's difficult singles, the Eagles' defensive strategy was half successful.

In comparison, Garnett has reservations in the third quarter, just to exert force in the fourth quarter.Going back to the offensive end, the wolf king singled Stoudemire with his back. After two backs, he turned around and shot at the baseline forcibly. Stoudemire jumped up to block the shot. The two had physical contact. Thug foul.

Garnett's physical strength is still there, but he didn't get his touch back immediately, and he made two free throws.Marion received the backcourt rebound and threw the ball directly to Nash in the frontcourt.Nash was reluctant to catch the ball the first time, and was intercepted by Paul when he dribbled again!

"Will this be the handover of power between two generations of top point guards in the league?" Yoga was excited.

The Eagles still use the same tactic. Paul dribbles the ball to Joe Johnson, who lobs it to Garnett.

Garnett took the ball twice and turned to the baseline. Marion came to help defend, and the pull foul prevented Garnett from throwing the ball.

"???" Seeing Marion's "simply" foul, Ke Yan was stunned, you are. . . . . . "Wolf hacking tactics"?

Garnett did not continue to miss the opportunity and made two free throws, opening the point difference to 17 points. (101:84)

Perhaps because he was grateful that he was likely to win the first career finals, Garnett was so excited that he kept waving his arms on the way back to defense, signaling that the cheers on the scene should be more enthusiastic.

The morale of the Eagles is high, but the spirits of the Suns are low.In the last round, even Nash, who has always been reliable, made a ball-handling error, which is unimaginable in normal times!It is a blow to the confidence of the sun generals!

In the final analysis, the task on Nash is too heavy, the offense of the Suns is too dependent on his organization, the defensive end must not only match Paul, but also need to bear the deliberate roll call of the Eagles.

On the other hand, Garnett, who had mistakenly thought that there would be a physical crisis, is still fierce!Seeing Garnett exerting strength on both offense and defense in the fourth quarter, D'Antoni felt that he was on the way of Keyan!

After two rounds, the Suns made another mistake.Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll, forcing Nash to split the ball in time after the Eagles switched defenses, but Battier fell to the ground and held the ball in his arms, and then called a timeout before the Suns rushed up.

This time, even the blind can see Nash's physical crisis!Taking advantage of the timeout, D'Antoni replaced Nash with Barbosa, and finally fought again.

If halfway through the fourth quarter, the point difference is still within 20 points, let Nash go up and fight again; and if the point difference gets bigger and bigger, the Suns can only admit defeat in the first game.

Ke Yan also made substitution adjustments during this time in the restaurant. He replaced Joe Johnson and Battier with Stevens and Hassell, and resorted to a defensive strategy of "upline attack" to attack Barbosa.

The main lineup was at the top for most of the game, and it was difficult for Joe Johnson and Battier to have the physical strength to carry out continuous flanking in the fourth quarter. It can give the main players time to rest.

If it is really turned over by the Suns and hits the decisive moment, the most reliable single point for the Eagles may have to be Joe Johnson!

"Ke Yan really considered any possibility of the development of the game. This game is very difficult for the Suns." Zhang Lili made his own judgment and praised Ke Yan by the way.

Not to mention what kind of vision is needed to build such a lineup through drafts and trades, just playing the cards well and using his own command to control the entire game, Zhang Reasonable has to be convinced.

Barbosa and Marion failed to resist the "on-line attack" that crippled many teams in the league. After repeated mistakes, the point difference was stretched to more than 25 points, and the game completely lost its suspense. .

With 4 minutes left in the game, the score was 119:100, Ke Yan replaced Paul and Garnett, and the fans chanted "MVP!", not sure if it was for Garnett or Paul.

Maybe the gap of 4 points in 19 minutes is not out of reach?But after judging the situation, D'Antoni gave up his unrealistic thoughts. He has already lost this time, so he should concentrate on fighting tomorrow.

The final score was fixed at 128:113, Ke Yan strategized, and the Eagles led by a big score of 1:0!

After the game, D'Antoni looked at the statistics table with a very ugly face.

加内特全场出战41分钟，25投13中，罚球7中6，狂砍32分12篮板4助攻2盖帽1抢断，闪耀全场，是老鹰队获胜的第一功臣。

D'Antoni didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that when Ke Yan replaced Diaw with Milicic to relieve the pressure on Garnett's defensive end, and when Garnett reduced the frequency of offense initiation in the third quarter, he really He mistakenly thought that the physical condition of the wolf king was not that good, and deliberately launched an attack on Garnett.

I just didn't expect that the clown was actually me!There was nothing wrong with Garnett's physical strength. On the contrary, it was himself who, in order to target Garnett, did not deploy the lineup well, nor did he grasp the weaknesses of the Eagles to play, and fell into Ke Yan's trap.

Joe Johnson, the shooting guard who he personally gave to Keyan, became the second contributor to the Hawks' victory.In the whole game, Joe Johnson made 22 of 11 shots, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 29 points!His personal offense continues the firepower of the Eagles, and it is an "unsolvable" existence for the Suns' defense!

Paul sent 17 points, 8 assists and 3 steals, which is slightly worse than the regular season and the first three rounds of the series.Considering that he is still a second-year rookie, facing the two-time MVP in his first show in the career finals, it is not bad to be able to complete the tasks assigned by Ke Yan.But if the Hawks want to win the championship, Paul needs to show better performance in the next few games of the series.

For the Suns, Nash played 39 minutes, made 26 of 12 shots, 9 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 34 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.Although the personal scoring data is good, judging from the data that he "only" sent 9 assists, the Eagles did a good job in cutting off the connection between him and his teammates, and the 4 turnovers also showed that the Eagles "rolled the name" Nash's strategy was successful.

Stoudemire was overwhelmed by Garnett watching the game, but he performed well on EXCEL, shooting 24 of 11 shots, 7 of 6 free throws, scoring 28 points, 9 rebounds and 3 turnovers.In this regard, Garnett's natural suppression is the biggest problem for the Suns in this series!In the next series, if Stoudemire still performs like this against Garnett, it will be difficult for the Suns to have a chance!

马里昂出战40分钟，18投8中，三分球3中啊，罚球3中3，砍下20分8篮板2助攻1封盖2失误。

As the third leader of the team, and also a player who has been unable to perform well in the playoffs all year round, Marion's performance today is not bad.As long as you don't treat him like a giant.

After the game, media visits.

The reporter asked D'Antoni what he thought of Garnett, and D'Antoni said:

"Garnell's debut performance in the finals was phenomenal, which hindered us a lot. But it will not happen again. I will study today's video carefully and find the right way to limit him."

"Joe Johnson used to be a player of the Suns, Garnett was also very close to the Suns, lost to them, the management needs to sum up the experience."

"It's impossible for any team to keep all their players. We got Al Harrington in the trade. Last season, he helped us reach the Western Conference Finals. This season, he went to the Warriors to create his own His own legend also brought us Jason Richardson. Our existing players are strong enough. The Eagles won not only because of the two of them."

After the visiting team introduced the interview, Ke Yan also brought Garnett, Joe Johnson, and Paul to the press room to accept questions from the media.

"From the moment the game's red light came on, the G1 game was over. Then the two sides returned to the same starting line. Before finally hitting the line, no one is eligible to open the champagne in advance."

AC Milan: ? ? ?

When the reporter asked Ke Yan what he thought of Garnett's performance in this game, he strongly praised:

"I hope that KG will play a role in the game. KG himself has his own ideas about the game. Then KG's approach is to fulfill my expectations and at the same time show his strength to the greatest extent. I am proud of his performance. Surprised, and hope he can continue."

"What do you think of the G2 game?"

"It should still be a process of seeing and closing. Michael will not surrender easily, and neither will I. I am looking forward to it as much as everyone, but the important thing is to go back and get a good night's sleep first."
