Chapter 344 Unexpected Score
Updated: 2012-08-19
Since the middle of the season, the Suns have withdrawn the Frenchman Dior, who made great contributions to the team last season, from the starting lineup and replaced the Cote Thomas, who is more in line with Amarestoudmire. In the playoffs, they still continued this lineup, while Marion, Lagaber and Nash are on the outside.
At the beginning of the game, Amarestoudemire drove the ball in front of Duncan, and Marion relied on his height and arm length to snatch the ball from Stephen, and then handed it to Nash, who controlled the ball forward, while other players of the Suns ran over in a swarm.
Nash ran past Tony Parker like the wind. His speed was not very fast, but his sense of rhythm was very strong. Most people rarely adapt to such rhythm. Although Tony Parker tried his best to defend him, he still could not stop him from moving forward.
As soon as Nash ran outside the three-point line, Stoudemire ran out of the inside line. The intention of pick-and-roll was very obvious. Duncan immediately followed and blocked the way Stoudemire cut into the basket. Oberto also moved from one side to the other, blocking Nash's path forward.
After Nash used Stoudemire to block Parker, Nash was not afraid of the two big men and rushed into the middle with the ball. The two were about to sandwich him in the middle. Nash had jumped up, seemingly going to take action, but in fact it was a pass, passing it to Cott Thomas in the form of a small hanging.
Although Duncan's defense range is very large and he can take care of Cott Thomas' defense, as soon as he turned around, Cott Thomas took a step back, then raised his hand to shoot, the ball gently brushed the rebound and fell into the basket.
The Spurs were mentally prepared for such failures. If the Suns' offense was so easy to defend, it would not be the Suns in the league with the offensive power, so the Spurs still serve and attack slowly according to their own pace.
Duncan did not raise the pick-and-roll, but Tony Parker took advantage of Nash's defensive ability and directly inserted it to the bottom line. Starting from the bottom line, slipping past the basket, and when he was about to turn a circle, he suddenly turned back and passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan faced Cott Thomas' defense and simply bullied two steps inward. A small throw shot shot into the basket.
The Suns serve and attacked. Tony Parker started to press and defend against Nash from the half. Lagabele came to pick up Nash, allowing Nash to pass the half. This time, Nash went straight to the basket. First, Stoudemire came up to block Tony Parker for him, and then let Cott Thomas replace Duncan. Oberto was only one step away from following, so he could only watch Nash hit the ball with an archery-like shot.
As the fourth member to enter the 180 Club, Nash's offensive talent and talent are also outstanding. The 180 Club refers to a player with a shooting percentage of over 50, a three-point shooting percentage of over 40, and a free throw shooting percentage of over 90. Nash's offense does not rely on physical confrontation, but depends entirely on the judgement of the game, and finds the best offensive opportunity.
The Spurs' offense also did not miss. After the pick-and-roll, Tony Parker passed the ball to Duncan, and then the two quickly changed positions. Duncan raised it up and down, but created a good opportunity for Tony Parker to make a jumping small throw, easily throwing the ball into the basket.
This is the scoring method that Tony Parker is best at. Among almost all shooting methods, the shooting rate of the throwing is the lowest, but it is also the most difficult to defend. At the same time, since players are usually moving when they are throwing, the requirements for the feel and feel of the ball are also very high.
The Suns were as if they were unaware of the Spurs' attack. Nash continued to drive the team to run. Each attack time was within seven seconds, while the Spurs were guarding their own rhythm, and the time for any attack was more than twenty-one seconds.
The two teams play their own, and no one's defense has any effect on the opponent. The Suns are running and get the best chance to get out of the phone through running. As long as you run out of the opportunity, Nash's pass will naturally come.
The Spurs insist on playing their own tactics, which is the Spurs' most accustomed to scoring method. In addition, the Suns' defense has no tactics at all. The Spurs' offensive success rate is basically at the same level as the Suns. The scores of both sides are constantly increasing, and no one has the ability to widen the score.
This is not what the Suns want. What they think is that they are at their home court and the first game is the Spurs. The Spurs must not be mentally prepared enough. To deal with such a rhythm of the game, the team will definitely gain a certain advantage at the beginning. Of course, they will not be confident enough to win the game, but as long as the Suns enter the lead, the game will be equivalent to half of it.
But the Spurs just stick to their own pace. You play your fast pace, and I play my slow game, and they are not affected by them at all. Although their offensive time is very short, the game is always back and forth, and the success rates of both sides are almost the same, so the scores naturally cannot be extended.
What's more, there is a super scorer on the Spurs that has not started to explode yet. No matter when or what team, they no longer dare to underestimate Stephen's scoring ability. No matter whether he is in good condition or not, whether he has taken action or not, the nearly thirty-minute score in each game is a very clear proof.
As long as he wants to score, he can score. As Stephen's methods become more and more effective, he has basically no obvious flaws in the offense. As long as he wants to attack, he can find a suitable way to attack. Defense can only make it more difficult for him to score, and it cannot limit him.
If you want to talk about weakness, it is that Stephen still has obvious traces of axe-chief in the switching of offensive methods, and it is not easy to say that he is free and easy. The main reason is that his body gives him an advantage when facing most defensive players, and there is no need to temporarily change the offensive methods.
But Stephen is such a thing, it is already terrifying. He just scored 53 points in the first round of the playoffs against the Nuggets. Although the scores in the next few games were not too high, it was because the team didn't need to score so crazily. I believe that as long as the Spurs needed it, he could still contribute 30 plus 40 plus points at any time.
Although there are factors that have poor defense of the Nuggets, the Suns' defense seems to be worse than that of the Nuggets. Marion's personal defense is a little better than Anthony, but in the matchup in the Western Conference Finals last season, it has been proved that he alone cannot limit Stephen's strength.
If Stephen doesn't exert force here, he already threatened the Suns enough, because no one knows when he will start exerting force. Of course, this time usually starts from the second quarter, but Stephen has never announced it to the public, and he will not take action in the first quarter.
Just after just making a three-pointer at the bottom corner, he came back again. He received a pass from Michael Finley from the top of the circle and made another three-pointer, two consecutive three-pointers, which also allowed the Spurs to expand the advantage of the score to five points for the first time.
Lagabe's three-pointer missed the basket. In the battle for rebounding, Stephen used his continuous jump advantage to hit the ball continuously when he finally couldn't keep up with his jump. Stephen closed the rebound only when they both finally couldn't keep up with his jump.
After seeing that he could not launch a fast attack, Stephen began to control the ball and move forward slowly. Under the interference of Marion, Stephen deliberately slowed down the pace again. Just controlling the ball to move back and forth, Stephen took seventeen seconds of offensive time. Marion could not affect his ball control, and of course Stephen couldn't get up.
At this moment, Stephen suddenly moved, and Marion was fooled by shaking two consecutive shakings, and then flew sideways past Marion. Marion regained his hand, but he didn't get it. He knew it was not good. When he turned around, he saw Stephen jumping and put the ball into the basket. At the same time, the referee's whistle and Cott Thomas's initiative raised his hand.
In fact, this foul should be recorded on Stoudemire, but because Cott Thomas took the initiative to admit that it was the Suns' home court, the referee had no intention of making it clear, so this foul was plotted on Cott Thomas.
Cott Thomas is also considered that for the team, Stoudemire's importance is far higher than himself, and it is also a necessity for such a player to exist. In order to maintain the core player of the team, what is the voluntary foul that is what is it?
Stephen failed to hit the free throw and made a three-pointer. This was because Stephen was too relaxed, which also made a harsh boo sound at the American Airlines Center Arena. Stephen didn't care. It seemed that he had already satisfied with the eight points. Anyway, the team was also ahead of seven points.
This is the most likely thing for Stephen. His score is very explosive, unstoppable, and at the same time it is very coherent. Once it starts, it seems like you can't stop, making you very helpless and don't know how to deal with him.
After getting eight points, Stephen returned to his previous state and no longer pursued attacks. Other players of the team also took over the burden of offense and played until the end of the first quarter. The Spurs actually led the Suns by six points, which many people did not expect.
Stephen seemed to have not taken any action throughout the quarter, but he was already the Spurs' player with the most points, which made the fans who don't watch the game often very strange. He seemed to have not taken any action and became the team's highest score.
