Chapter 316 "The Emperor's New Clothes" (please subscribe, please support)

On November 11, the Eagles ushered in the "strong enemy" Phoenix Suns at home. The reason why the label "strong enemy" was marked with "" is because the Suns started the season quite mediocre. The team only scored 22 wins and 6 losses in the start. Results, ranked eighth in the West.

After Terry Porter took office, he "corrected" D'Antoni's "fast-paced offense and defense" left-leaning route, and focused on "slowing down" the Suns.Driven by this policy, the team sent away Marion in exchange for the potential Yi Jianlian. At the same time, they picked the blue-collar insider Robin Lopez in the draft to increase the height of the team.

The Suns have long insisted on running and bombing tactics, seven-second offense, emphasizing speed and space. V-shaped position, after the pick-and-roll, go down the inside line or make a mid-range shot or attack the frame.There are certain requirements for the shooting ability and speed of the players in the lineup.In terms of technical style, Yi Jianlian is still a good match for the Suns, even if he is at the center position that he is not good at, he can still play a certain role.

However, the actual situation is that Terry Porter took the initiative to "slow down" the Suns and let the team slow down to play positional warfare.As a result, Nash played uncomfortable, but he could barely guarantee efficiency; Stoudemire himself could guarantee his own firepower without relying on fast break points; Jason Richardson was still alive; but Barbosa, It is difficult for players like Yi Jianlian to meet expectations.

"There is no improvement in defense, and all the characteristics of the offensive end are lost." This is Ke Yan's evaluation of the Suns.

Because of the "China Derby", CCTV broadcast the game without any surprises.

"The starting lineup of the Eagles is still Paul, Joe Johnson, Battier, Garnett, and Diaw. Looking back, the first step of the Eagles' rise was to poach Joe Johnson from the Suns. I don't know if I was thinking back to the 07 Finals At that time, will the Suns management regret letting go of singles Joe in order to avoid the luxury tax.” When facing the Rockets or the Suns, Yuga will not be an eagle without thinking.

"For the Suns, the starting center for this game is Robin Lopez. Yi Jianlian is sitting on the bench. Coach Terry Porter also pays more attention to defense. Lopez needs to do more dirty work. , Yi Jianlian can take on more scoring tasks after coming off the bench."

The game started and Stoudemire won the jump ball.

The Suns fell into position, Nash held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, Garnett switched to Nash, he opened the distance and passed the ball to Stoudemire in the middle.Stoudemire didn't stop receiving the ball. Facing Paul's defense, he used his height advantage to make a mid-range shot. The ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced out.

Shane Battier received the rebound and the Eagles immediately counterattacked.Diaw quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Under the defense of Richardson, he stepped forward from the free throw line and changed direction to the left. He passed the ball behind his back and sent the ball back gently.

This pass was too concealed, Richardson didn't see what was going on, the ball had already left his hand, Garnett followed up with an air cut, took advantage of the trend and made a three-step layup, and got rid of Lopez with speed, easily Score.

After losing weight, Dior's "agility" has returned a lot, and this kind of rapid counterattack has not been seen for a long time!

The Suns' offense still had no choice but to play the pick-and-roll bluntly. Nash used a large change of direction to shake past Garnett, grabbing a throw before the defense came up and scored!

Nash played this ball very beautifully. It would be okay if Iverson completed it; but it is very worrying to see that the person who completed it is Nash.Nash has a good scoring ability, but when you pin your hopes on Nash to complete the difficult score, it shows that the Suns have fallen into a very passive position!

Joe Johnson catches the ball from the right and hits Bell, with his back pressed against Bell's defense and forced to squeeze in. Bell, who is not strong enough to move, is a little powerless under the continuous load, and subconsciously grabs Joe Johnson, who has turned around. shoulder and forcefully pulled him off. . . . . .

This action is a bit dangerous, that is, Joe Johnson's style of play is floor-flowing, and he does not use force to take off, causing little damage.

Joe Johnson's height and strength have obvious advantages in playing the second position. Except for a few people, he has a size advantage.

After making two free throws, the possession of the ball was changed. Nash held the ball across half court and steadily handed the ball to Stoudemire, who was pulled to the corner.

Facing Garnett, who restrained himself a bit in his defensive style, Stoudemire chose to "overlord force his bow"!Using explosive power to make a sudden attack, although Garnett gave him half a step of space, the opponent's offense was still within his control.

What hurts the most is that Dior's defensive handling at this time did not form a tacit understanding with Garnett, and he missed Robin Lopez when he took the initiative to assist the protective frame.Stoudemire was thick and thin, and split the ball cleverly. Robin Lopez caught the ball at the basket and was fouled by Joe Johnson to stop the attack.

Ronaldinho made two free throws and Joe Johnson's foul was worth it!

Looking back, Joe Johnson singled out Bell on the left corner of the ball and hit a jumper with an emergency stop. 6:3.Facing Joe Johnson, Bell was obviously powerless!

Nash dribbled the ball across half court, and when everyone thought he would pass the ball, he suddenly shot a three-pointer from the left.Paul retreated too far back. Seeing Nash jumping up and then throwing to interfere with the shot, it was too slow, and the three-pointer went into the net hollowly. 6:6.

The offensive shot of this ball is quite like Curry, and Ke Yan gave an exaggerated expression, a little helpless.

The Eagles attacked, and Paul played a pick-and-roll with Garnett, holding the ball to the right to attract Stoudemire to switch defenses, and distributed the ball to the middle.Garnett squeezed Bell to the basket with the ball, jumped up with the ball and wanted to dunk with one hand, but was fouled by Lopez.

Little Lopez's movements were also a bit big. Garnett lay down directly on the ground in order to relieve his strength. After resting for 20 seconds, he turned over and started doing push-ups. . . . . .

Is this expressing that "an old man has a long-term ambition, and a martyr is full of ambition in his old age"?Ke Yan didn't quite understand, but as Garnett's coach, he put on a serious expression and took the lead in applauding Garnett.

Ke Yan took the lead in applauding, and the fans at the scene followed and applauded Garnett.This is like "The Emperor's New Clothes". In fact, many people don't know what happened, what does Garnett mean by doing push-ups, but when they see Ke Yan applauding on the sidelines, they think there is some special story; Everyone was applauding, so they followed suit.

Garnett was very satisfied with the reaction of the audience. When he made the free throw, he paused deliberately to listen to the applause from the scene.

"Wearing the most flashy shirt, I feel very emotional. When someone comes to take a photo, remember to put it in your pocket!"

The Eagles scored like a sack. In comparison, although the Suns slowed down, they still developed offensive tactics around Nash.In the next Suns offense, it was still Nash who used the pick-and-roll to cut into the Eagles penalty area, made a backhand pass, and handed the ball to Richardson.The latter easily cut to the basket and scored a layup!

The most successful trade the Suns have made in recent years is the exchange of Harrington for Jason Richardson. Although the dunk king does not have the singles ability of Joe Johnson, whether it is catching and shooting or off-ball running on the offensive end They are all excellent, and they can form a good linkage with Nash, which is something that people like Bell and Hill do not have.

In the past few seasons, if D'Antoni hadn't deliberately given him some chances to score points in order to reward Marion's contribution on the defensive end, Richardson would have been the Suns' No. [-] scorer!

The Hawks attacked, and the Suns adjusted their defense, using Bell to defend Paul; Richardson to match Joe Johnson, and Nash to defend Battier at the small forward position.

This arrangement obviously underestimated Battier's scoring ability!The Eagles adhered to the principle of attacking whoever faces Nash on the perimeter. Battier took the ball and went straight inside!Relying on his size advantage to forcibly suppress Nash, he eventually caused a foul by his opponent. . . . . .

Seeing that Battier, who is the worst offensive player in the Eagles, can easily kill Nash, Porter is a little speechless.

The perfect point guard in his heart is precisely Paul who can score offensively, organize the whole team, and even displace the defense on the defensive end, not Nash, who focuses all his skills on the offensive end!

This is also a limitation of Porter.In addition to physical fitness, Nash's immediate combat ability is not inferior to Paul. He obviously has a treasure in his hand, but he will not use his strengths to avoid weaknesses, but covets other people's treasures.

In the second half of the first quarter, Porter was still adjusting the team's defense, but the one thing that never changed was that as long as Nash was on the court, it was destined to be a natural defensive loophole!He will definitely not be able to play basketball with the balanced offense and defense that Porter wants.

The defensive end could not limit the Eagles' offense, but the offensive end could not find a feeling. The Suns gradually fell into a disadvantage in the game; after the first quarter, the team ended up trailing by 25 points at 33:8.

The second quarter of the game is the time for the substitute lineups of both sides to perform.

The bench lineup is also a point that many people mistakenly think that the Eagles are weak, but they are actually very strong.Batum is growing rapidly, and fans and the media are optimistic that he will replace Battier next season; Chalmers is not outstanding, but he is definitely a qualified backup point guard, and compared with Barea last season, Chalmers The synergy between Shermos and Shannon Brown is even better.With Chalmers, Shannon Brown can hit the basket unscrupulously, and Chalmers can open up space for him.

Perhaps it was stimulated by the setting of "Huaxia Media".Yi Jianlian's shooting touch in this game is not rough. He hit three goals in four shots at the beginning, and his performance was outstanding.

But in the case of the Suns, it is definitely not enough to only hope for Yi Jianlian, let alone Yi Jianlian is a substitute.However, after the announcement of this game, the fans, especially the Huaxia fans, began to feel confident about "Yi Jianlian's starting game".

Sometimes, international players always receive special attention and expectations from fans.
