basketball never sleeps

Chapter 85 Steve, I’m your fan

"Next, let us witness who is number one in the league!"

Amid the cheers of the Heat's home DJ and the audience, irrelevant personnel left the court, and everyone's eyes were focused on the players from the two teams taking up positions in the midfield.

Suns starting lineup: Nash, Quentin, Joe Johnson, Marion, Stoudemire

Heat starting lineup: Wade, Mo Wen, Rasul, Haslem, O'Neal

In the opening jump ball, Stoudemire won the ball from O'Pang without any difficulty.

The Suns' first goal was also planned. They would not miss any fast break opportunity, but the Heat had already anticipated it and quickly assumed a defensive posture.

"Steve, I'm your fan!"

Looking at the enthusiastic Mo Wen in front of him, Nash was not at all happy to meet his "fans".

If you were a serious fan, he would believe it. You would say nice things, but your eyes would be fixed on the ball in his hand.

Bah, scumbag.

Afraid of Mo Wen's sneaky eyes, Nash did not act rashly and got "burned" in the first round.

Stern will give Mo Wen the inheritance of the assists title, not just because of Mo Wen's explosive assist data, but his steal data this season is also among the top in the league.

Averaging 2.2 steals per game, Mo Wen ranked only behind Larius and Iverson in the steals list.

It doesn't matter if it's just more steals. The key is that Mo Wen rarely loses his position. His steals are all solid defensive interceptions. D'Antoni emphasized this to him many times before the game.

Seeing that Nash failed to launch a fast break, other Suns players also began to take regular positions.

Mo Wen leaned over and lowered his center of gravity. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Stoudemire, who had risen to a high position, and kept a certain distance from Nash.

O'Neal cannot switch to guard Nash, so he must always pay attention to defending the Suns pick-and-roll.

If the distance left was given to an "elementary school student", he would definitely shoot with open hands. However, although Nash's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 43% this season, he does not shoot much, and he rarely shoots like the later point guards.

Shooting over someone.

Nash's lateral movement took advantage of Stoudemire's broad body to open up a bit of space. Although Mo Wen consciously left space to get around the pick-and-roll, he was still a little behind in speed.

Relying on self-discipline, Nash still has the same speed as young people at the age of 30.

Although Mo Wen stepped in in time to block the interference after the pick-and-roll, Nash's shooting action had already been completed, the interference was ineffective, and the shot was successful.

Fortunately, Nash's foot stepped on the line a little bit on this ball, and the referee ruled it a two-point ball.

2:0

The Heat attacked, and Nash avoided Mo Wen and Wade and came to Rasul who was stretched out in the bottom corner.

Nash is also very good at his own confrontation. Self-discipline can allow him to maintain the explosiveness and speed of a young man, but it cannot change his confrontation.

Nash also has muscles on his body, but due to the small frame and the need for speed, he does not have too much meat. He weighs over 80 kilograms and is basically a back-up defender. He will have a hard time defending.

.

The one who defends Mo Wen is Quentin, nicknamed "Ah Q". His physical fitness is good, his height and weight are similar to Mo Wen, and his jumping can rank among the top ten in NBA history. However, because he was used to playing casually with the Clippers in his early years, he did not

I haven't developed good defensive habits and abilities.

After Mo Wen feinted twice with the ball, he crossed the left side and rushed inside. Quentin was half a step slower, but with his better body, he still maintained defensive pressure. Mo Wen took the main position and moved forward.

After taking two steps and attracting the attention of Marion's defense, a crotch pass sent the ball to Haslem behind him.

Haslem held the ball in his arms and took two long strides to hit the frame.

2:2

The basketball was scored, and the two teams ran towards the Heat's backcourt without hesitation.

Stoudemire served to Nash. This time, Wade came in front of Nash. He was afraid that Nash would pass him and lose his position, so he did not show too much pressure in the second half, but Nash noticed this gap.

, a precise long pass, the basketball was sent to the hands of Joe Johnson. Johnson did not stop the ball and passed the ball to Stoudemire who had already rushed to the basket. Stoudemire turned around and ignored Rasul, who was covering the defense, and the overlord stepped forward.

Bow completes the dunk.

4:2

"Look Kenny, when Amare (Shoudemire) dunked, O'Neal rushed to the free throw line. The Heat's interior defense was completely inadequate. How could they defend it?" Barkley patted the table and exclaimed.

Van Gundy frowned off the court. Nash's long pass can only be felt after contact with how terrifying it is.

The Heat did a good job in defensive rotation today, but they still found opportunities through half-court passes. Rasul's defensive confrontation was not bad. He initially entered the fighting world like Milicic in his sports career.

Option, although the body is thinner, the confrontation is still above the standard.

But this year Stoudemire has begun to enter the peak of his body. As long as his beast-like impact allows him to start comfortably, no one except O'Pang can pull him down.

"UD, next time you watch Amare, Marion lets others switch defenses!"

Da Fan shouted at the top of his lungs towards the people on the field.

Mo Wen continued to push forward steadily. When he came to the high post and saw Wade pulling out a little space to get the ball, he made a swinging gesture.

Wade's acting skills were very realistic, or he really thought that Mo Wen would pass the ball to him, so he made a move to catch the ball. Quentin subconsciously defended sideways, but Mo Wen took the opportunity to jump directly.

Quentin, who came back to his senses, was too late to interfere and could only watch Mo Wen complete the shot.

Because he played dungeons every day, the increase in strength did not affect his feel much.

Swish——

The basketball fell into the basket smoothly.

4:5

"Let me tell you, the game has just begun, Charles, you don't have to draw conclusions so early." Kenny Smith mocked from the side.

The Suns were attacking. Quentin, who was a little angry after being tricked, reached out for the ball without completely throwing away Mo Wen. Seeing Quentin raise his hand to catch the ball, Mo Wen didn't even think about it. A real man doesn't look back and jumped directly in anticipation.

Carrying his body in the air was a "French military salute" and successfully blocked the ball.

This kind of tricky pass may be difficult to prevent for those who have few contacts, but for the experienced Mo Wen, it is like a golden girl who has been sent to his door - and he takes it away.

"Attention, Nash passed the long ball again - Oops, Mo Wen blocked it directly in the air. Did he open his eyes in the back of his head? What kind of defensive ability is this?" In the studio of the Fifth Princess, Director Zhang

His tone rose two octaves due to excitement.

The Heat's home court also became noisy because of Mo Wen's steal.

In fact, the ball did not fall into Mo Wen's hands, but hit his arm and bounced outward. Quentin tried to make up for it and catch up.

But during the fight, Mo Wen gave him a "treat" with a hidden little elbow.

"Surprise, Mazefak." After getting the ball, Mo Wen didn't forget to turn around and "comfort" Quentin.

Quentin was furious. Although his baby face looked like a bully, it would be a big mistake if you really thought he was a bully. However, he really didn’t have much courage to ride with him.

Ma Long beat Mo Wen Toucheng.

"I was finally beaten by my son. The world today is really not decent..." Ah Q clenched his fists and chased Mo Wen, cursing in his mind.

The fast break failed, but most of the Suns' players ran past half court. Facing the Suns' empty basket, Mo Wen was not polite. After picking up the basketball, he rushed towards the empty basket.

When approaching the basket, Mo Wen felt Richardson chasing behind him, and Mo Wen did not use his ordinary bounce to test Quentin's bounce.

He chose to slow down covertly and at the same time changed the rhythm of dribbling and movements, and showed the urge to "split the mountain".

Seeing Mo Wen playing with his legs and putting away the basketball, Quentin didn't dare to hesitate. He just kicked his legs and made a big jump.

Ah Q, waving his arms in the air, seemed to have seen himself hiding behind the scenes.

"I will beat you with a steel whip!"

But what he didn't expect was that the figure he expected did not appear.

Mo Wen relied on the braking skills he had learned in the dungeon to not only hold back his strength, but also leaned back, leaving room for Quentin to fly.

"Have a nice trip, boy."

When Quentin flew away, Mo Wencai slapped the basketball onto the backboard, then took a step forward to catch the ball and dunk it with one hand.

One more update, thank you all for your monthly votes today. I had some drinks with my buddies today and I have calmed down and figured it out.

This year I still have to go home and have blind dates during the Chinese New Year.

How can I put it, if you have the right situation, I hope that everyone will not hesitate, clean themselves up, and be bold while you are young. Don’t be like me, who has to find a buddy to watch a romantic movie.
