knife point guard

Chapter 285 [What do you think about using the sun to practice tactics]

The Phoenix Suns are well prepared for Suhi's arrival, and they are unwilling to lose to Suhi and the Knicks in all aspects.

The reason they don’t want to lose to Su Xi is because Su Xi took away Stephen Nash’s guaranteed regular season MVP trophy last season.

I don't want to lose to the Knicks because this year's Knicks are considered another run-and-gun team, and their record is so good. This time, basketball commentators led by Larry Brown believed that running and gunning had no technical content, and just running around and shooting randomly would be enough.

Isn’t that what the Knicks do?

Their tactic is to beat them randomly and ask them to copy it again, but they themselves can't do it.

This is an insult to D'Antoni, who doesn't want to be paired with the Knicks' running and gunning duo. But the Knicks' record is even better than his original version.

Last year, he was interviewed, and various press releases said that he had learned from the United States and Europe. His running and gunning was based on digging clues from the European system, and he refined and carried forward it on the basis of American basketball.

But now, the Knicks have never been to Europe and don't have a single European player. Under the leadership of Su Xi, they fought so fiercely.

This is not playing ball.

This is a slap in D'Antoni's face.

So, the mobilization for this game started last week.

By the time the game officially arrived, the scene was already in a state of excitement. The Suns home court was filled with hormonal fans. They booed and cursed the visiting team players before they even took the field. They even called New York rednecks.

This is somewhat insane.

Tonight, the starting lineup sent by Phoenix is: Stephen Nash, Laga Bell, Shawn Marion, Boris Diaw, Stoudemire.

A group of elite soldiers, and their understanding of D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics has reached a very high level.

The Knicks' starting lineup is: Suhi, Crawford, Ariza, Tony Barty, and Eddy Curry.

The Knicks are implementing a new plan... initially to give new players more responsibilities and increase their playing time. Isiah Thomas named it Project Replacement.

Although Isiah Thomas did not provide creative ideas for the content, the names he chose were very creative.

beep!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

ESPN broadcast this game live across the United States. This is the focus of fans' attention. The two most offensive teams in the league have a peak showdown.

Many fans hope to score the highest score in a single game this season tonight.

However, ESPN's football commentator tonight is Larry Brown.

It's like when you are impatient and about to have sex, the door is pushed open and it's the old lady next door who picks up trash.

Sitting next to Larry Brown is Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller is becoming ESPN's ace commentator. His sharp tongue is very popular among the fan base, and everyone likes to watch him quarrel with the sky and the earth. Moreover, since he won two championship rings, he has no shortcomings.

The other host is Mike Breen.

McBreen disliked Susie from beginning to end.

So the commentary situation tonight is one against two with Reggie Miller.

The situation was clearly reflected in the pre-game prediction session. Both Larry Brown and Mike Breen believed that the Suns would win easily.

Reggie Miller is as supportive as ever.

beep!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

Stoudemire won the jump ball and the Suns quickly opened up the offense.

Su Xi followed Nash closely. Nash once had a nickname, called Son of the Wind, describing his rapid advancement.

However, Su Xi's speed cannot be overemphasized.

Although the league's current defensive regulations restrict Suhi's performance, his long arms and strong body still cause interference to Nash's path.

Stoudemire went up to cover Nash, and Nash used the screen to quickly go to the penalty area.

However, Su Xi's ability to break the screen was too strong. He passed Stoudemire's mediocre screen with a spin. He chased after him, and when Nash went for a layup... bang!

A chasing shot gave Nash a powerful start.

Su Xi grabbed the basketball, but slowed down.

The Knicks' overall progress is not fast either.

The person who defends Su Xi is Laga Bell. Laga Bell is a strong defensive player. He has a handsome appearance, but he is particularly fierce on the defensive end. He is one of the few players in the NBA who can guard against Kobe Bryant.

However, being able to prevent Kobe from being anxious doesn't mean being able to prevent Su Xi from being anxious.

Su Xi is different from Kobe. Although Su Xi copied Kobe's offense, he does not completely rely on Kobe's offensive style. He is also good at breakthroughs.

Moreover, he shamelessly asked for cover.

Tony Barty stepped forward and blocked Laga Bell, and he flashed away and went straight to the penalty area. Boris Diaw and Su Xi were both drafted in 03 at the same time.

Originally, his position was neither three nor four, but when he arrived at the Suns, his all-round skills blossomed perfectly.

He's like a filler, making up every detail of the run-and-gun game.

However, he couldn't guard against Su Xi. Suhi entered the penalty area alone, and Stoudemire had to help defend. Suhi passed the ball to Eddy Curry. When Eddy Curry received the ball, Shawn Marion flew up. Marion is a spider. A typical long-handed monster.

But Eddy Curry didn't attack himself, he passed the ball to the corner.

Ariza caught the ball and shot.

He is in an absolute position.

The Suns were fooled.

Swish!

Three point hit.

"The Knicks played the ball very well, very team basketball style, from Jack entering the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, passing to Eddy Curry, Eddy Curry attracted the defense and passed it to Ariza, in fact, Crawford Germany can easily beat Nash alone at this time. The tactics used in this half are very traditional and strong. People who don't know think it's the San Antonio Spurs."

Reggie Miller was on TV bragging.

He has always been an avid fan of Suzy Blow.

It once made Charles Barkley on the next channel feel in crisis. While he was bragging, Larry Brown was surprised and confused. Is this the Knicks that he used to study the tape like crazy?

Although the Knicks have indeed added some tactical details recently, it does not mean that they can play like this.

After changing sides and fighting again, Stoudemire and Nash hit jumpers after a high pick-and-roll.

Then, Su Xi repeated the same thing again. He and Tony Barty played a pick-and-roll, quickly broke into the penalty area, and passed the ball to Eddy Curry. Eddy Curry once again attracted the defense. He once again passed the basketball. This time... Xiao Enmarion had a sharp mind and quickly withdrew.

But Eddy Curry didn't pass the basketball to Ariza, but to Crawford.

Crawford played Nash in isolation, just like playing.

Nash's defensive ability is not as good as Kidd's offensive ability.

The Suns launched a fast break, Boris Diaw passed the ball to Marion who was running back from the high post, and Marion succeeded in a layup.

The Knicks' defense is still a problem, especially help defense in the penalty area.

Looking back, the Knicks still had Suhi and Tony Barty running high pick-and-rolls and then attacking the penalty area. After breaking into the penalty area, Suhi passed the ball to Eddy Curry. Marion did not help defend this time, and Eddy Curry dunked easily.

In the next round, Suhi and Tony Barty set a pick-and-roll, Suhi passed the ball to Barty, and Barty hit a jumper from the free throw line.

In the next round, Su Xi and Tony Barty used a pick-and-roll, entered the penalty area, broke through the defense and dunked directly, making the score 2+1.

Throughout the first quarter, the Knicks started with a pick-and-roll. In the first seven minutes, Suhi and Tony Batty picked and rolled, and in the next five minutes, they used a pick-and-roll with David Lee. The effect is the same, even David Lee's shooting is smoother.

The moves are simple but endlessly versatile.

The Suns can't defend, and they always lose sight of one thing.

At this time, Isiah Thomas had a little idea of ​​the flavor.

No wonder Jack said he wanted to develop some tactics. He was training with the Suns.

Looking at the entire league, which team has higher defensive enthusiasm than the Suns and lower overall defensive intensity than the Suns?

The answer is no.

Therefore, it is best to practice troops and tactics under such circumstances.

In the second quarter, the Knicks changed their lineup again.

Hardaway, Susie, Jaylen Rose, David Lee, Channing Frye appeared.

This lineup is very high, but in fact it is hollow inside.

Therefore, Su Xi directly moved into position, and Hardaway was responsible for feeding him the ball. Hardaway is worthy of being Jordan's successor. Although he is physically talented, his ability to pass the ball inside is becoming more and more accurate.

He is worthy of being the person who fed O'Neal the ball back then.

Su Xi singles out Bell in the low post. The offensive skills he copied from Kobe have reached 91 points after years of contact and forging. Coupled with his strong physical fitness, no more and no less, he is just right for playing Laga Bell in the low post.

Turn around on the first ball and force a layup.

On the second ball, Stoudemire couldn't help but come over to help defend. Su Xi passed the ball to the three-point line, and Channing Frye caught the ball and shot... Whoops!

Three point hit.

For the third ball, Suhi played a low single. Marion attacked in advance. Suhi passed to Jaylen Rose. While Jaylen Rose cut in, he passed to David Lee, who made a hit.

For the fourth ball, Su Xi received the ball in the low post and passed it to Hardaway who was cutting in the air. Hardaway scored a layup.

The fifth ball….

If the Knicks practiced running and gunning in the first quarter.

So in the second quarter, the Knicks practiced inside-out. The difference was that it was point guard Su Xi who shot in isolation, and center Frye who shot from outside.

It's really ridiculous.

Larry Brown was particularly angry in the commentary box, as if he had been stabbed in his ancestral grave. He kept roaring: "This style of play is retrograde. If you encounter a strong defensive inside, you will be directly destroyed. Su Xi, the little sheep, is bullying the Suns." The inside line is weak..."

"Ah...otherwise?" Reggie Miller couldn't help but ask: "When playing basketball, isn't it always about hitting the opponent's weak spot?"

Larry Brown was speechless.

In the second half of the second quarter, Eddy Curry came back on the court, and he also started playing low singles in the paint. This time, the pressure on the Suns increased, because Su Xi began to fly all over the court, and he and Hardaway played double point guards.

The Suns fell behind from this stage.

At the end of the first half, the Suns trailed by 5 points.

The Suns only scored 53 points in the first half.

Although this score is high for other teams, for the Suns, it is enough to prove how exhausted they are and how much physical energy they have mobilized on the defensive end.

"Yeah, that bastard Isiah Thomas treated us like an intra-squad match. They were simply practicing new tactics."

D'Antoni lost his temper with the coaching staff.

But getting angry won't solve the problem.

Just like they can't solve the threat of Su Xi on the court, as long as Su Xi stays on the court, he can make waves and make his teammates fly.

Reggie Miller also spoke out the Knicks' thoughts at halftime.

In fact, anyone who knows a little bit about basketball can see it.

"Jack is indeed a genius. He always trains in victory and improves in victory. Now, Stephen Nash should understand why he lost the regular season MVP last season."

"After the battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills last season, the Pacers lost three of their starting lineup and their strength was greatly reduced. At this time, Jack proposed a tactic of training while winning, just like the Knicks this season. We still got the best record in the league , and at the same time, Jack’s strength improved by leaps and bounds during the season, and finally he won the championship with unstoppable momentum in the playoffs.”

"So, what are Nash and Suns supporters upset about? That trophy should have been Jack's."

Reggie Miller said with absolute certainty on television.

Larry Brown was deep in thought when he heard this. He was a loser last season and he knew how shocking what Reggie Miller said.

But at this time, McBrin showed his true nature. He said: "You mean, Jack Su can also win the regular season MVP this year, the Knicks can also have the first record, and the Knicks will win the championship in the playoffs?"

Reggie Miller was suddenly speechless.

But he is also a famous bully. He asked rhetorically: "Why not? Now, the Knicks already have the first record in the league, and they have not lost a game yet. If the Knicks get the first record, do you think anyone else is more suitable to win the MVP than Jack? As for the championship, I won't comment. My home team is the Pacers."
