Chapter 476
476. Are all high school students so brave nowadays?
Nash advanced quickly, and the entire Suns team pressed on. Payton, who was guarding the top arc, felt tremendous pressure.
A season is about to be over, and the Suns' running and shooting have been recognized. This is indeed the most powerful offensive in the NBA, and the Suns are also the team with the best record at present.
The gloves that once danced with God on the highest stage quickly suppressed this pressure and directed their teammates to defend.
The Suns did not fight back, but after Nash fell into the position, he picked and rolled Marion and launched a fast attack with a small range of cooperation.
The little bully slipped into the bottom line and rushed on the spot behind Randolph, smashing the ball into the basket with one hand!
Facing Nash's Payton, he withstood most of the defensive pressure, and the Trail Blazers' defense was smoothly unfolding... Except for not being able to defend, the Trail Blazers' defense was fine...
After scoring the goal, the little bully stretched out his neck and glared at Liu Xiu and ran back.
During the offense and defense transition, Payton advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu continued to make a single breakthrough. I remember that the defense of the Big Q in the Clippers was quite good. When he came to the Suns, he almost finished his game in a season, and his defense was completely useless.
Liu Xiu easily broke into the middle distance and had a good chance to attack the last round again, but he did not stop and jump shot, but chose to go deep into the basket!
The little bully immediately expanded outward and blocked Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu missed the ball!
Hollow ball!
Kwame Brown scored two points with an all-match slash!
The little bully's defense, even D'Antoni, who didn't know what the defense was, showed a black question mark face and completely spared the opponent's center. Is it serious?
D'Antoni understands that the little bully wants to target the warden, but even if he pays attention to Liu Xiu's defense, he is not so good! There is no defensive awareness at all?
The little bully proved with practical actions that he really didn't...
When the Suns attacked, Nash continued to launch a pick-and-roll attack with Marion. This time Kwame Brown replaced the defense with a big defense and the small defense. Randolph followed the ball very hard. Nash passed the ball to Big Q. Liu Xiu followed the ball closely to Big Q's two-point and three-pointer. Big Q turned around with a beautiful back and passed Liu Xiu, and went to the left side of the three-second zone to shoot... It was iron!
The mid-range shooting percentage of DaQ this season is a terrible 14%! I can't believe that this is a long-range shooting player with a 37% shooting percentage of two points, a 36% shooting percentage of three-pointers, and an average of 2.9 three-pointers.
After Liu Xiu was passed, he saw Da Q stopping the mid-range shot. He didn't even try to interfere and went straight to the basket and just grabbed the defensive rebound.
Counterattack!
Someone has said that the Suns have the potential to train defense, and the Suns' defensive potential can be seen from the speed of retreating and defense.
The Suns quickly retreated and returned. Before retreating, Joe Johnson consciously fought against the extrajudiciary and interfered with the latter. The latter started, which made Liu Xiu lose the fastest response point. Liu Xiu did not force one to fight five. After the teammates who were following up quickly fell into the formation, Liu Xiu continued to make a single breakthrough!
The little bully continued to expand to defend, and he firmly believed that Liu Xiu would definitely want to deduct him one and take revenge on his dunk at the beginning.
Also, he thought that Liu Xiu would definitely want to score points when he played against them tonight. The coach did not set up a defense specifically for Liu Xiu. He wanted to do this well, limit Liu Xiu's score, and amazed everyone...
Liu Xiu entered the free throw line and grabbed the ball, took three major steps, and took two steps in a large way to the position close to the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone. The expanded defense followed closely. He felt that he was going to defend Liu Xiu's "European Step"!
Then, Liu Xiu passed again! The straight pass from the bottom line, Kwame Brown received the ball and jumped, smashing the ball into the basket with both hands!
The fans on the scene were having fun!
The warden played with the silly man on the opposite side!
The warden has started playing with this ball!
Seeing Liu Xiu's contemptuous smile and joking eyes when he retreated, the little bully was extremely ashamed and angry.
Now the little bully realized that Liu Xiu was not called European step just now, just taking two steps to make fun of him.
When the Suns attacked, the little bully fell to the low post and stuck Kwame Brown and shouted to Nash: "Steve, give me the ball!"
Nash had no choice but to pass the ball in, and the little bully still had to take care of his temper.
The little overlord rushed towards Kwame Brown fiercely... and could not resist at all!
The little bully turned around and went to the bottom line and forced his move... Kwame Brown slapped on the rebound!
Pinboard hat!
Kwame Brown took the ball, and the bully tried to counterattack and was called a foul.
Kwame Brown's beautiful low post defense won loud cheers from fans on the scene.
Kwame Brown was surprised at this goal - are other high school students so brave in the inside line? If you don’t have to play behind the back, you have to force yourself?
The first two times I played against the Magic, the second high school student No. 1 center is the same. Once I get angry, I want to fight back and force it.
Indeed, being able to fight with a low post is the most domineering offensive method in the inside.
But you have to be able to carry it on your back!
Kwame Brown thinks he is more serious. He has never done such an overestimating thing since he entered the NBA.
As for whether you have the chance to do things that you can overestimate yourself when playing next to Jordan, this doesn't matter.
When Liu Xiugang and Kwame Brown partnered, you can feel the difference between Kwame Brown and high school players such as Jordan, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Howard. This first high school No. 1 pick in NBA history rarely does anything beyond those abilities. Jordan's high-pressure domination has made Kwame Brown develop very good habits in this regard, so everything has two sides... As long as this kind of thing does not fall on his warden, he can analyze it objectively and calmly.
6-2, relying on Kwame Brown's performance of 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 block at the beginning, the Trail Blazers became more imposing!
It was the Trail Blazers' offense again. Liu Xiu received Payton's pass in the frontcourt and continued to play singles.
This is different from the plan at the beginning, but Randolph also chose to pull it apart. As for the game, it always needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation.
The Little Overlord followed Kwame Brown closely, with two dunks and one block. The Little Overlord hated the shame of this former high school rookie.
The little bully is sure. Liu Xiu put the 40+ times tied Kobe in the curtain call and the Lakers game, and he even linked this "sense of ceremony" together.
It’s so confident that the little bully is sure of his judgment.
Suddenly, the little bully who followed Kwame Brown suddenly heard the cheers and screams of the fans at the scene, and an ominous premonition came... It was not a premonition, but a sense of impact came!
Liu Xiu passed the big Q and entered the inside line. Marion made up the defense quickly. Liu Xiu avoided Marion with European steps and came to close range. Unexpectedly, the little bully actually turned his back to him!
Of course, Liu Xiu cannot miss this good thing. He jumped along the inertia of the change of direction in Europe and knocked back the little bully and smashed the ball into the basket!
The little bully who was locked up had one idea - the despicable warden actually played sneak attack! When I was ready just now, you didn't deduct it, but if I was not careful, you would come in and detain me!
Kwamei Brown also cursed. He was fighting happily with the little bully. Liu Xiu rushed in this time, but he didn't notice it and was also detained...
8-2, the Trail Blazers led by 6 points at the start! D'Antoni called a timeout!
…
Although the Suns have poor defense, they don’t mean that they can score easily. They still have basic defensive goals, after all, they have to win.
But they didn't expect Liu Xiu to play like this. They actually didn't care how many points Liu Xiu scored, and they didn't care at all about Liu Xiu's breaking Kobe's record, but they were definitely ready to use this to limit the overall score of the Trail Blazers.
It doesn't matter how much you can limit it, as long as the Trail Blazers score less than them.
D'Antoni's understanding of victory and defeat is similar to that of Weiping Bryant - when his team scores more than 110 points and his opponent scores less than 110 points, the game will be won.
But Liu Xiu used his own threat to assist Kwame Brown in this operation, which made the Suns not know how to defend, making the Suns' defense worse.
That's all, the Suns' offense has also been affected.
The young bully was played with by the warden and applauded!
After entering the timeout, D'Antoni reminded the bully to be calm and did not make any adjustments. He only played for two minutes. There was nothing to adjust on the offensive end. As for the defensive end, there were assistant coaches who were practicing defense when preparing for training, and the training volume was not large enough to meet the normal needs of the team. During the game, D'Antoni had always had the attitude of "you can do it yourself."
D'Antoni's operation gave the little bully the feeling that he was just asking for a pause to scold him.
Objectively speaking, what D'Antoni did during the suspension was really like this.
So, after the pause, the performance of Xiao Ba Wang not only did not improve, but instead beat him more.
The Trail Blazers have not adjusted much on the offensive end, but Buzderick seized the little bully on defense and started defending around this point.
Buzderick's defensive vision is so good that he has no say, and his ability to seize the opportunity is also very strong. With his adjustment, the Trail Blazers continued their 8-2 start and reached an official timeout in the first quarter. The Trail Blazers led the Suns 17-8 by 9 points! Only 4 minutes left the Suns to score 6 points!
After the official timeout came back, the Suns' offense still did not improve. D'Antoni lasted for another 3 minutes and couldn't help it when he played 9 minutes and 11 seconds in the first quarter. He replaced the Little Bullshit, who had always been a foul crisis, in advance, and replaced Steven Hunter.
At this time, the score had already reached 12-22, and the Suns were 10 points behind!
Replacing Steven Hunter with the Suns' defense will improve significantly. After all, he is a serious frame-protecting center, but the offensive end has plummeted more than one level.
But that's just a theory. In the current actual situation, Steven Hunter replaced the Little Bullshit, and the Suns' offense and defense have improved significantly!
In the last 2 minutes and 49 seconds, the Suns and the Trail Blazers played back and forth, and scored 8-7, narrowing the gap to single digits.
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Suns 29-20 by 9 points!
Chapter completed!
