Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Lian Feng brought the ball over again, faced Nash's defense, and first passed the ball to Desmond Mason at the top of the arc on the wing.

Desmond Mason tried a triple threat, but it didn't work.

Lian Feng shouted loudly: "Pass it back!"

Desmond Mason passed the ball back without hesitation.

Listening to the point guard's instructions on the court is a quality that a role player must have.

The forward passes the ball just to get a chance to activate the threat.

Lien Feng, who was holding the ball again, extended one foot to the right and made a fake move. Nash didn't stumble, or he hesitated.

In an instant, Lian Feng changed from a fake move to a real breakthrough. His hind legs ejected to start, and the force was transmitted. As soon as he sank, he was over.

Lian Feng came in from the center, and David West moved up very considerately to provide support.

The forward handed the ball to David West.

Unless you are a master of off-ball defense and can instantly understand the situation on the court, the defender will definitely be subconsciously attracted to the ball holder at this time.

After Lian Feng handed the ball to David West, he did not choose to continue the pass.

The Suns are so crowded inside that going in is not a good option.

If it is tight in one direction, it must be loose in the other direction.

Lian Feng suddenly stepped on his toes, then twisted his waist, ran in the opposite direction, and suddenly hit the outside line.

David West had excellent passing awareness and handed the ball over immediately.

The moment Lian Feng received the ball, his feet just landed outside the three-point line. Without any pause, he took off the ball and shot!

Although his three-point shooting percentage this season is less than 35%, Lian Feng successfully hit the ball with this shot.

The score came to 3 to 7.

Lien Feng's hit instantly heated up the atmosphere in the home arena.

Lian Feng applauded while retreating: "Just fight like this!"

At this time, Nash advanced with the ball, and Lian Feng opened his big hands to greet him.

At this time, Nash started calling pick-and-rolls again.

There are many masters who use the pick-and-roll tactic, but in the current league, Calderon doesn't like passing the ball inside, Kidd's shooting speed is not good, Chauncey is too old and not suitable for quick push... Taken together, although they are all top point guards.

guard, but in terms of the use of pick-and-roll tactics, only Paul and Nash are on the same level.

Whether the pick-and-roll man moves forward or out, whether the ball-carrier chooses to attack or pass, and how to choose the offensive method when attacking by himself, all test the overall situation awareness and on-the-spot judgment of the two people. And Nash is obviously the perfect ball-handler for the pick-and-roll, everything in the offense

Everything is clearly arranged.

The key is, Lian Feng will always be blocked.

This has always been his weakness when it comes to getting out of pick-and-roll defense.

This time the pick-and-roller is Shawn Marion.

After the forward was blocked, Nash continued to dribble, and then saw the opportunity and passed the ball out. It was Marion who made the cut.

However, this time Tyson Chandler was well prepared and stood in the right position. The two fought in the air and the basketball was scored.

Although the ball was not defended, Lian Feng knew that Marion relied on his strong personal ability and his defensive strategy was correct.

This shows that Tyson Chandler has read the opponent's offensive routine, which is very good!

Subsequently, the two sides began a back-and-forth offensive and defensive battle.

The audience became more and more excited as they watched.

Because the Hornets finally started scoring.

Under Lian Feng's organization, the team blossomed more.

After missing two shots, Bobby Jackson finally hit a three-pointer from the baseline, opening up his hand, and then hit consecutive hits.

The smooth start of the third ball finally made him feel relieved after being nervous for the whole game.

I have received three open three-point passes! If I keep failing to score, I will be really unlucky for the forwards.

Although Lian Feng has been encouraging him to make bold shots, if he never scores, he will lose his confidence.

And David West also hit three goals from two-point range.

Only then did some fans notice something strange.

The Hornets have caught up and even surpassed the Suns, but their style of play is completely different from the previous Hornets!

Throw, throw, throw.

The Hornets' offense pretty much uses this trick.

And it's concentrated on the outside.

At the end of the first half, the Hornets successfully took the lead, 51 to 49.

Among them, Lian Feng hit 3 three-pointers, Bobby Jackson hit 3, and even Desmond Mason, whose three-point shooting rate was lower than 30%, hit 2!

The Hornets' outside shooting is actually not very good. But in this game, the Hornets' outside shooting collectively opened fire.

The home fans were used to seeing the Hornets often perform breakthrough dunks in the paint, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while.

Lien Feng, Desmond Mason, Tyson Chandler, these guys are all very strong dunkers!

However, as long as you can score, it's a good thing. Once you're used to the gluttonous feast of dunks, it's nice to occasionally try shooting.

Off the court, Byron Scott began to be surprised.

As a bystander, he didn't understand Lian Feng's purpose of doing this at first, but he was the coach after all. After thinking about it carefully, he finally came to his senses.

The choice of Lian Feng is the most reasonable way to play!

Where are the Suns' weaknesses?

Defensively, they have two tactics, tightening and zone defense.

Why are you doing these two tricks? You’ll know just by looking at it.

In order to ensure speed, the Suns do not have heavy inside players. Marion at the 4th position and Stoudemire at the 5th position are both athletic inside players.

Offensively, such a lineup is more conducive to the implementation of run-and-gun tactics, but defensively it will be in a dilemma.

Not enough thickness!

It can be said that their defense is not dominant. Needless to say, Tyson Chandler, even if Lien Feng and Desmond Mason break into the inside, they are not easy to deal with.

Therefore, they will use tightening and zone defense to make up for the shortcomings in the inside. Because the 4th position is light and the 5th position Stoudemire is weak defensively, they have to double-team and rotate quickly. The zone defense is also to protect the inside. Both of these moves are

It is easy to lose three-pointers, so the Suns are not good at defending three-pointers. But once the opponent misses a three-pointer, the rebound bounces far, and the Suns get the ball, they have an opportunity to attack.

This is an inherent flaw in their offensive system, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

Byron Scott couldn't help but marvel.

Lian Feng's idea is very clear, which is to attack their shortcomings of defensive three-pointers with all their strength, and use various methods to create three-point opportunities.

At the beginning, the team did not open up the situation and fell behind for a while, but they continued to play this way and it became easier to handle as they felt better.

Lian Feng's persistence paid off.

The Hornets were not in a downturn throughout the game because the Suns' defense was weak and would always give them shooting opportunities.

The more you invest, the more you will win!

It can be said that Lian Feng used the first half of this game to demonstrate a textbook way of attacking the Suns.

However, the defense has not shown a better way, so the outcome is unknown now.

In the second half, the Suns will definitely make adjustments.

The Hornets also need to think about how to curb the run and gun!

Defense is the foundation of victory.
