Chapter 83 Trap

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 75:84. The Suns' offensive firepower decreased in the third quarter. Unfortunately, the Clippers themselves were not much better, and the score difference between the two teams still did not narrow.

Stoudemire scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, Nash scored 15 points and 10 assists, Marion scored 12 points, Hill scored 10 points, Dior scored 8 points, and Barbosa scored 5 points.

Through the scoring distribution of Suns players, fans can tell at a glance that the Clippers' inside line was exploded, the point guard was exploded, and the No. 3 position was not taken advantage of, but the Clippers could at least hold one in the No. 2 position.

Charles Barkley commented before the last quarter: "The Clippers must prevent the Suns from attacking. The Suns were the number one scoring team in the league last season. As long as the offense is smooth, they can quickly get a lot of points. If you are not careful, you will easily be driven by their pace to attack and run against the attack. The best way to deal with it is to keep your calm pace, play in your own way, reduce their quick counterattacks, and find open points."

The two brothers almost played the entire quarter in the third quarter, and had to get enough rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Old Dunleavy would not risk overuse them for a game that was not planned.

At 7th minute and 30th, the two returned to the court, with a score of 84:94, and the difference was still 10 points.

This score is like a natural barrier. Once the Clippers want to narrow the gap to within ten, someone from the Suns will always stand up.

Barbosa nicknamed Brazil Lightning. Last season, the Brazilian reached the peak of his career, averaged 18 points per game, and entered the quasi-All-Star ranks. During these five minutes of substitute time, he really broke through like Lightning, repeatedly hitting the Clippers' basket. The Suns scored eight points in the substitute time were all obtained by Barbosa. The Brazilian defeated Mobri, a more experienced old cat, with his speed.

After the two brothers came on the court, Barbosa was replaced by D'Antoni.

Although Barbosa's shooting was good, he was too sticky and was already in a mess in the first half against the twins' defense. D'Antoni replaced Nash and Stoudemire and planned to end the game as soon as possible.

The bearded man sat on the bench, looking at the twins who looked exactly the same, and wanted to get the Panda brother, Ji Guochou. He observed a game and the Chinese would seamlessly compatible with his team to fill their last shortcomings. The Suns' inside line will have a defensive ability that they have never had.

The Phoenixes have already taken action, trying to use Marion and next year's draft pick to receive the Clippers' bad contract, but asked the Clippers to add Ji Guoqiu to the deal.

The proposal was thrown directly into the trash can by Old Dunleavy, who served as both coach and manager. Unless he had Alzheimer's disease, the twins would never be separated.

Stoudemire picked and rolled the free throw line, but was predicted in advance by Ji Guoqiu and blocked the breakthrough route. At this time, Ji Guomo suddenly shouted in his heart: "Boss, let him go to the left, isn't he not passing the ball? Let's set a trap for him."

Ji Guochou felt a move in his heart and indeed gave up a breakthrough route on the left.

Stoudemire's basketball IQ is really not that high, and even if he is smart, he would never think that the two brothers could communicate in their hearts, so this is a decisive one.

When the Suns fans saw Xiao Si's dribbling breakthrough again, they immediately cheered. Today, Xiao Si's breakthrough could also cause the two brothers to foul, which was extremely lethal.

However, Xiao Si was in trouble this time, and he also had a hint of doubt in his heart. This breakthrough seemed too easy, but there was no time to think about it. After two steps, he had already arrived at the basket and could dunk it after taking off...

"Bang!"

At the critical moment, Ji Guomeng rushed from the left wing position and pressed a big hand accurately on the basketball that Xiao Si had just shot. Then he exerted force suddenly, and the basketball was slapped by Ji Guomeng and fell directly to the Black Parker on the outside.

The referee saw it very clearly, did not call a foul, it was a good hat!

The Suns fans all seemed to be strangled, and the cheers came to an abrupt end. The Clippers had already launched a counterattack...

Artest has been controlled by Grant Hill's defense in this game, and has only scored 7 points yet. This time, the counterattack of the beast accelerated to keep up.

Black Parker was entangled by Lagar Bell at the basket, and returned the ball to Artest who was inserted after the ball was handed over.

Grant Hill couldn't stand the running Atai this time. Once the opponent's 260-pound weight was rushing, the power was equivalent to a reduced version of James. Hill quickly moved away from being hit and seriously injured. The beast dunked with both hands!

Stoudemire was worried about being blocked. He had always gained the upper hand in this game with his two brothers. The big hat-winner just now thought it was just an accident and no one could ever be blocked. Xiao Si comforted himself in his heart. He would double the face he lost this time when he attacked next time.

Ji Guohuo's tactics are effective. Next time Ji Guohuo deliberately exposed his flaws again. This time he put his right side to Xiao Si.

Stoudemire received the ball at a high position and saw a clear opportunity to break through on the right. Although he felt suspicious again, after looking at Ji Guomeng, the guy was still watching Marion from the bottom corner, with his back facing him and not even turning his body. He should be safe.

Although Ji Guomeng did not turn around, he kept staring at him through his brother's sight. Seeing Stodmeier breaking through again, he quickly turned around to defend himself at the basket. Although he did not block Xiao Si this time, it affected Stodmeier's layup. Stodmeier's shooting was very bad this time, and the rebound was taken by Ji Guoqiu, and the Clippers fought back again.

Suns fans think this rhythm is wrong. In the past, they used to play fast break counterattacks by their opponents, but now they have been hit by the small broken ship twice in a row. What's the situation?

Artest rushed up again, and Marion and Grant Hill joined forces to stop the beast. Although Artest was not very fast, once it started, the impact force was not to be narrowed down. It was as good as a small tank, and it was difficult for a player with heavyweight large tonnage to stop it.

After the Clippers counterattacked twice, the score was 88:94, and the difference between the two teams turned into 6 points in a blink of an eye.

This is the smallest score difference between the two teams in the second half. D'Antoni immediately called a timeout when he saw that the situation was not good.

"Amare, use your mid-range distance to solve them."

D'Antoni was very dissatisfied with Stoudemire's failure to play at the basket twice, which was indeed the culprit that led to the Clippers' continuous rapid counterattack to chase points.

On the other hand, Old Dunleavy has not over-arranged tactics. The team is playing well now, so it is enough to maintain the status quo. In fact, the two brothers' two successful defenses were all the solutions they came up with.

The timeout ends and the game starts again.

Nash used a pick-and-roll to jump shot from the middle distance and hit a steadily.

Black Parker was deceived by Nash's fake moves and did not even make a blocking move.

The Clippers attacked, Ji Guochou received the ball at a low post and quickly turned around and hooked his hand...

Stoudemire's defense was slower again. This time he really had to defend himself, but habits became natural. If he was used to it, he couldn't just get serious just by trying to be serious.

Xiao Si looked back and saw the basketball went straight into the net, making it clean and neat.

This is the 15th point that Ji Guochou got today, tying his highest score in the regular season. That's right, Ji Guochou's highest score in a single game is 15 points, and he has won three times in the regular season. Regardless of the game's victory or loss today, Ji Guochou may create a new highest score in a single game.

Stoudemire also felt that this was something that was disgraced. He began to defend seriously on the defensive end, but Ji Guoqiu still hit a hook on his head, which made the little bully feel very embarrassed.

The Suns attacked, and Stodmeier kept raising his hand to ask for the ball after pick-and-roll. Nash passed the ball this time and deceived the little bully. He stared at Stodmeier, and his hand movements were also towards Stodmeier, but the basketball flew towards Marion and hit the ball with another move.

The two brothers were also fooled. They also thought that Nash would pass the ball to Stoudemire to help the bully regain his face. However, Nash's pass deceived everyone. Marion received the ball and easily dunked it at the basket and got two points.

The Suns' home fans rang out neatly "MVP" cheers. Nash's two MVPs were relied on his master-level passes, and of course the offense at critical moments...

The Clippers missed the next attack and Nash quickly moved forward. The 34-year-old veteran dribbled faster than many young players running in the air. The Suns once again made a quick counterattack.

Nash dribbled into the three-point line and suddenly stopped suddenly. He pushed the basketball in his hand calmly at the middle distance, easily getting two points.

In the fourth quarter, 5 minutes and 10 seconds, the score was 90:100. The Suns quickly increased the score that had been expanded by the Clippers to double digits again with Nash's continuous passes and shooting.

Old Dunleavy called a timeout, but it was not very useful. The point guard was the Clippers' weakness. As long as the opponent had a star point guard, their game would be difficult, not to mention that the Suns had more than Nash.

After the timeout, D'Antoni switched Barbosa to the second position. Brazilian Lightning became an X factor at the last moment, and made a breakthrough as fast as lightning. With the two brothers being attracted by Stoudemire and Marion, they made continuous breakthroughs and continued to widen the gap.

Percy was also a little overwhelmed in dealing with Barbosa. The opponent was too small and too fast, just like Monta Ellis of the Warriors, it was very difficult to guard against.
