Chapter 245 Operation Overlord: Landing in Phoenix City (please support)

On June 8, the Hawks and Suns started their third game at America West Arena.

This is the first finals game at the American West Arena in more than ten years. Fans know very well that this is a life-and-death battle for the Suns. If they win this game, there may be the possibility of a comeback. The Suns will have consecutive games in the future.

In three home games, if you make good use of the home court advantage, you can turn the big score over; and if the score is expanded to 3:0, you can simply surrender!

In the g3 game, neither side made any adjustments to the lineup. At this time, no one had any trump cards. What they were competing for was the performance of the players and the head coach's on-the-spot arrangements, and this is precisely Ke Yan's advantage.

In the past two games, especially G2, the Hawks won because Ke Yan was much better than D'Antoni in scheduling, especially when there were always people on the bench who could stand up. In comparison, the Suns were far behind.

Both sides started the game as regular starters. As Stoudemire won the jump ball and helped the Suns seize the ball, the game officially began.

Nash advanced with the ball. Richardson received the ball on the right and handed the ball to Marion in the corner. The latter moved laterally with the ball and saw the opportunity to hand the ball to Star who was in the three-second zone.

Before Demier could complete his attack, Garnett slapped him to the floor.

The Suns were very arrogant today, and Garnett didn't hesitate to take a foul in the opening game, but he still had to fight back.

The referee blew the whistle and Garnett fouled.

Stoudemire, who failed to win a free throw, was very upset and pushed Garnett when he returned to the court.

Garnett immediately became furious, rushed towards Stoudemire, pressed his forehead against his head, and uttered trash talk.

The three referees rushed over and whistled to warn the two.

"This is the NBA Finals! Don't try to challenge my whistleblowing standards!"

Subsequently, the Suns continued to attack, Stoudemire took a step outside the free throw line and took a mid-range shot, making an accurate hit.

The crowd at the American West Arena was filled with excitement, cheering for the team. The atmosphere at the scene made Paul a little depressed. After halftime, he handed the ball directly to Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson made a successful breakthrough from the side, faked a move to get past Marion who was defending, and scored a layup.

Nash went to the right, attracted double teams, and then passed the ball to Bell, who was running up the line. The latter received the ball in a 70-degree open space and shot a three-pointer, which went into the net. 5:2.

Looking back, the Eagles still relied on Joe Johnson to lead the attack. In isolation, Joe posted up Bell and missed a jump shot. However, he successfully caused a foul on Bell and made two free throws.

Just like the start of the previous two games, both sides went back and forth, and no one established an advantage.

The turning point occurred in the fifth minute of the game. Garnett was called for his second personal foul of the game during a defense, which caused chaos for the Hawks.

For the sake of stabilizing the situation, Ke Yan did not replace Garnett immediately and planned to wait until the official timeout to take down Garnett.

Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

However, it was during this period that Garnett was whistled for his third foul for a minor move, and the balance on the court was immediately broken!

To be honest, in this game, the referee's call scale was slightly biased in favor of the Suns. Garnett's last two fouls were usually on a "callable or not" scale. Considering that Garnett is a big name, how many referees should there be?

I would rarely give him some face, but at most he would give me some bragging. Unexpectedly, this time I would be "selfless".

If the series ends at 3:0, there will be little suspense in the subsequent games and the attention will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Ke Yan can understand that the referee is slightly biased in favor of the Suns in the scale of whistleblowing. The Suns are on the same level as the Hawks.

The team, with its last stand against the odds, fought hard, and the referee's tendency to make penalties gave it a huge advantage.

Without Garnett, the Hawks couldn't hold down Stoudemire in the paint, and trailed the Suns by 10 points 25:35 in the first quarter.

"Kill you while you are sick" In the second quarter of the game, the Suns deployed all their main players to forcefully suppress the Hawks' bench. D'Antoni made a desperate move, and the Hawks' rotation could not match the opponent's intensity, and the point difference continued to widen.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Suns led the Hawks by 23 points, 58:35, and the situation was excellent. Under the crisis, Ke Yan replaced Garnett, who had committed three fouls, and launched a counterattack.

If the point difference is allowed to continue to widen, even if Garnett's "innocence" is preserved, it will not make much sense. Ke Yan chooses to "fight against the odds" to close the score and still have a fight in the second half; if the point difference continues to widen,

Or if Garnett continues to be troubled by fouls, the game will soon lose suspense. At that time, Ke Yan will choose to give up G3 early, and the main players will leave the game early to prepare for the G4 game.

TNT commentators Kenny Smith and Barkley both agreed with Ke Yan's adjustment. Indeed, the current situation is extremely disadvantageous for the Eagles, and it is indeed a more ideal operation to start the decisive battle in advance.

In this season's playoffs, Garnett's advantages as an inside post were maximized by Ke Yan in front of the fans. Top speed and coverage, super defensive ability, comprehensive offensive skills and precise mid-range shooting

Killing ability; the Hawks faced relatively challenging two-round series in the playoffs. They faced the Pistons in the Eastern Conference semifinals and the Suns in the finals. Garnett was the team's "key man". When called upon in critical situations,

, Garnett continues to show his regular season MVP strength, and his influence covers every inch of the court.

Under the leadership of Garnett, the Hawks quickly recovered some points.

At the end of the first half, the two teams tied at 69:52, with the Suns leading by 17 points.

When Garnett was on the court, the Hawks were not afraid of the Suns and even slightly suppressed them. The key problem was that once Garnett went off the court, no one else on the Hawks could withstand Stoudemire's indiscriminate bombardment.

Explode! Once Stedemeire was "released", the scoring pressure on Nash was greatly reduced, and the Suns' offense immediately took on the posture of "thousands of horses galloping".

Regardless of whether the comeback is successful or not, the Hawks must pay attention to "protecting" Garnett in the next series. As long as the Wolf King stays on the court, the team can suppress the Suns, and vice versa.

During the halftime break, Ke Yan made adjustments to the lineup. He replaced Diaw with Stevens, put Garnett on the outside alone, and added a 3D outside player to improve the team's mobility.

At the same time, it speeds up the pace of the game.

Ke Yan's change of tactics disrupted D'Antoni's original plan. Marion faced Battier and was restricted to the corner. Garnett could either play Stoudemire alone or cooperate with Paul in a pick-and-roll to stabilize the Hawks.

Up points.

On the defensive end, Garnett is responsible for protecting the basket, and Battier "plays" Garnett's role in the double-team. Cooperating with Paul and Stevens to put pressure on the Suns' outside ball handlers, Bet Bell

If Marion fails to score, there is no way to punish the Eagles.

The Eagles continued to chase points and once narrowed the point difference to 11 points.

Subsequently, the Suns' home court advantage also emerged at this time. The referee suddenly tightened the standards and became very strict on the penalty of physical contact. Battier was called for two consecutive fouls. When the Hawks implemented a double attack again,

I had to be a lot more cautious in my actions.

The league really didn't want a 3-0 situation in the finals. The scale of the whistleblowing in this game was obviously biased in favor of the Suns. The Hawks suffered several losses, and the situation gradually escaped Ke Yan's control.

In the last quarter of the game, Ke Yan calmed the players' emotions and led the Eagles to counterattack in two consecutive waves, but they were defeated by the Suns.

With 2 minutes and 23 seconds left in the game, Garnett received his sixth foul of the game and left the game. Ke Yan stopped doing useless work and directly replaced the main player.

The final score was fixed at 121:107. The Suns recovered one city and rewritten the big score to 1:2.

The best player of the game was Stoudemire of the Suns. In the whole game, the Bully made 10 of 18 shots and 12 of 14 free throws. He scored 32 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, setting his personal best in the finals.

Excellent performance.

Stoudemire was full of firepower, and Nash was also liberated. He was extremely efficient in this game, making 7 of 14 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, and scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.

During the post-game interview session, reporters asked Ke Yan for his opinion on the referee's call. From their perspective, they all felt that calling Garnett three fouls in the first quarter was a bit too much!

"There are always some games where the referee will become the focus of the field, such as this one. From the perspective of the basketball rules itself, the action of "kg" can be called a foul, but when other players complete the same infringement action, it seems that the referee is

Another standard for calling penalties. I don’t know if it’s my imagination.” Referee Ke Yanfeng is very particular about the “art of language.” The reporter had already drafted the title in his mind. He finally added, “Not sure if it’s mine.”

Illusion", leaving some room for error.

"Kimi, do you mean that the referee's call was unfair?"

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. My eyes tell me a definite answer, but I don't want to say it."

ntmd, is this called not wanting to say it?

The interview with Ke Yan ended, and D'Antoni, who was playing at home, was interviewed. When talking about the reasons for the victory, he emphasized the team's galloping offense.

"This is how we win. In the past two games, the Eagles contained our offense, but in this game, we found our touch in time and won the game. I am proud of the team's performance.

." D'Antoni said.

"The finals are really starting now. We will win the finals, I promise."

After the game, the issue of the referee's whistle blowing standards caused heated discussions on the Internet. Everyone agreed that the whistle in this game was biased towards the Suns. But did it exceed the standard of "home whistle" and reach the standard of "black whistle"?

Level, and whether Garnett's last two fouls in the first quarter were overly punished are still worthy of discussion.

As Ke Yan said, many of the NBA's whistle blows have some unspoken rules, such as "the last two minutes of the game are left to the players to decide", "the step of joining the ball when a star player breaks through is not counted in the three steps", etc.

Etc. Garnett was whistled for fouls for two consecutive concealed actions, which may be rare for an ordinary main player, let alone Garnett is the MVP of this season. If it is really to be done

"Anyone who violates the law will be punished", and it is best to "treat everyone equally".

After a day off, on June 10th, the finals g6 game will continue at the American West Arena.

Before the game, in the locker room, Ke Yan explained the importance of this game to the players: "The big score is 2:1, the advantage is still there, but we have no way to retreat! If the score is tied to 2:2, the first

Five games, that is, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain will start at the American West Arena, and the situation will be extremely unfavorable for us!"

"I believe that everyone chooses basketball as their lifelong career, not just because of the salary. They must also have a passion in their hearts, wanting to do something in this league and leave their own legacy in the history chapter.

Name! When you are old and face your grandchildren, you can be proud to say that your grandfather, me, once won a championship with the Eagles. Instead of waiting for your grandchildren to ask you, just

I can say with regret that in a certain season, I led my competitors in the finals 2:0 and was only two games away from winning the championship!"

"Winning this game is just like Eisenhower commanded the Normandy landing 63 years ago to completely disintegrate the opponent's fighting spirit! We are not far away from victory!"

The starting lineups of both sides have not been adjusted. At this point in the game, neither side has any hidden cards.

After the game started, the situation was completely different from the previous one. Considering the referee's call scale, Garnett did not defend Stoudemire from the beginning. In several rounds, he clearly had the opportunity to interfere with the opponent's offense.

Yes, Garnett did not go too "aggressively" to cover up the defense, but slowly tested the referee's call scale to find the critical point between a foul and "no foul".

As a result, Stoudemire's personal offense had room to play. In the first quarter, Stoudemire made 6 of 10 shots and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 13 points and helped the Suns lead 33:25.

The Eagles scored 8 points.

However, through testing in the first quarter of the game, Garnett roughly figured out where the referee's penalty scale was. Starting from the second quarter of the game, he methodically and slowly increased the intensity of confrontation and defensive area in an attempt to suppress the Suns' offense.

And Milicic, who came on as a substitute for Diaw, also did a good job of "assisting" and helped Garnett guard the Hawks' basket.

The Hawks' defensive strategy in the first half was not careless, but when the offensive cooperation between Stoudemire and Nash was hindered, Jason Richardson, the Suns' biggest x-factor, stepped forward. The two-time slam dunk champion

In this competition, he became the "three-point king" and fired frequently from outside the three-point line to help the Suns, who were frustrated on the offensive end, score 11 points in a single quarter, including 3 of 5 three-pointers.

This effectively blocked the Eagles' counterattack.

At halftime, the score reached 62:53!

On the way back to the locker room, Ke Yan high-fived everyone one by one, encouraged everyone, and showed a cheerful attitude, as if they were the one leading by 9 points.

This is not because Ke Yan is doubtful, but because he is really satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

"Don't look at us trailing by 9 points, but the progress of the game is not as shown on the score. kg used the concession in the first quarter to find out the referee's whistle scale. In the second quarter, Stoudemire only got 5

Two of the goals were scored with assists from Nash. In the second quarter, he had no way to get the kilos! Richardson's third three-pointer was a head-on three-pointer.

, it’s just pure bad luck.”

"I know D'Antoni very well. He really doesn't trust substitute players in his bones and pursues a rotation of 6 to 8 people. Such a small number of manpower cannot support the entire series. On the contrary, we played with more people. In the second half, our physical strength

The advantages are even more obvious!”

At the beginning of the third quarter, Richardson continued his good touch in the second quarter. After receiving a pass from Nash, he hit a three-pointer against Battier's defense and opened the point difference to 12 points. This is also the reason for this.

The largest point difference in a game.(65:53)

But then, as Ke Yan said, the Hawks took control of the game. The team restricted Stoudemire and cut off the connection between Nash and other teammates. In three and a half minutes, the Suns

Only Nash scored a 21, and no points were scored at other times; on the contrary, the Eagles frequently switched offenses after completing their defense, and evened the score difference with a wave of 15:3 attacks.

For a time, the bustling American West Center was silenced, and the team's sudden power outage was hard for the fans to accept.

After returning from the timeout, the Hawks continued their good momentum, while the Suns players highlighted their "impatientness".

Stoudemire and Garnett had a quarrel while fighting for rebounds, and almost came to blows, and were whistled for technical violations by the referee. However, after the conflict, Garnett quickly regained his composure and switched back to the game.

Stoudemire was full of anger, more like venting than playing ball.

In just one minute, Stoudemire received two fouls and was substituted for a total of four fouls.

In the last game, the Suns took advantage of Garnett's absence and attacked the Hawks' renal reflex area, causing the Hawks to foam at the mouth. Times have changed, and the Hawks are not polite. They took Liuwei Dihuang Pill.

Okay, three whistles and six whistles were blown, and the Suns team couldn't resist!

At 82:91, the Eagles beat the Suns by 18 points in a single quarter. After three quarters, the score had already been overtaken.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Suns immediately launched a general attack. Stoudemire returned to the court. None of the main players took a rest. They made up their mind to recover the point difference.

The Eagles did not give up any ground. The finals reached the fourth game, and every minute may determine the final championship. Ke Yan also vowed to win the match point today, leaving all the main players on the court, and

Opponents compete against each other.

At this time, no one will save their physical energy. When it comes to tiredness, everyone is tired and tired, but if you want to win the championship, you have to see who can carry it better. There is plenty of time to rest in the summer, and now is the time to work hard.

This is more beneficial to the Hawks. Whether it is the physical reserves before the start of the series or the lineup rotation of the Hawks after the start of the series, they are better than the Suns. And when it comes to the age of the players, the Hawks are younger.

Although Garnett, the core player of the team, entered the league a year earlier than Nash, he is a high school rookie and is actually younger than Nash.

With a 9-point lead in hand, the Hawks are more keen to fight a war of attrition against the Suns. On the offensive end, Garnett has reduced his high-post face-up singles and low-post singles, mainly playing pick-and-rolls with Paul or Joe Johnson.

Shoot; the Wolf Kings mainly focus on "strangling" Stoudemire on the defensive end.

The Suns lacked the most stable inside scoring points, and their offensive damage was greatly reduced. Although they launched several counterattacks, they failed to tie the score or even take the lead in one go.

Lead until the end of the game.

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Suns 113:103, taking a 3:1 lead in the finals and grabbing the match point.

In the whole game, Garnett made 12 of 24 shots, 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. There was no doubt that Garnett was elected the best player. The praises from the media also focused on him.

, almost everyone knows that as long as the Hawks can successfully win the championship, Garnett will definitely be the MVP.

With this year's finals being the masterpiece of his career, many people who think Garnett can only "shoot jump shots" on offense can keep their mouths shut.
