NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

In the rest area, Nash was panting.

The Nets' Lagabel's rough defense made him seem extremely uncomfortable.

The mustache looked at Nash, turned his head and said to Joe Johnson,

"Joe, in the next game, you have to help Steve share some of the ball rights. Don't let them lock Steve. He is our engine."

Joe Johnson nodded.

Then D'Antoni arranged the defense again. The height of the Suns has always been a big problem.

It is also a natural barrier that restricts the Suns from moving to a higher level.

After the timeout, the Nets also noticed the tactical changes of the Suns.

The starting point of the offense changed from Nash to Joe Johnson.

The Nets remained the same.

Kidd's defense quality was very high, and he also had enough restrictions on Joe Johnson.

In addition, Joe Johnson's organizational ability was still far behind Nash.

Although it temporarily alleviated the chaos of the Suns,

In terms of the organization of the team's offense, he was far behind Nash.

Fortunately, after changing to a no-ball position, Nash turned into a shooter.

His superb basketball IQ made him still look at ease in the role swap.

Nash is definitely one of the most underestimated shooters in the league.

He is a member of the 180 Club for many years. The 180 Club means shooting. The combined total of field goal percentage, three-point shooting percentage, and free throw shooting percentage exceeds 180.

This season, Nash's field goal percentage is 50.2%, three-point shooting percentage is 43.1%, and free throw shooting percentage is 88.7%, which is more than the calculation range of 180.

No one knows that Nash's career three-point shooting percentage is an astonishing 42%, which is higher than most so-called sharpshooters.

His three-threat ability is no less than that of other All-Star players.

As he ran without the ball and cut quickly, he got rid of Lagabell's entanglement and hit a three-pointer.

The Suns' home fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Lagabell's oppressive defense. Even the fans watching the game clearly felt the suffocating pressure.

In addition to the outside line, today's inside line is the real test for the Suns.

Stoudemire himself is good at protecting the rim.

Kidd led the New Jersey dunk team to form a siege on the Suns' basket.

Chandler ate cakes, Carter ate cakes, Jefferson ate cakes.

In addition to Kidd's feeding, Roy's breakthrough attracted the opponent's offense and created many opportunities.

The Nets relied on their absolute height advantage to play high and high.

The scores of the two teams grew as fast as a rocket.

At the end of the half, the scores of both sides showed a jagged distribution.

The Suns, playing at home, fell behind by 5 points in the second half under the Nets' bombardment.

70 to 75.

If this score is placed in the game between the Pistons and the Spurs, it is basically the final score.

And this is just after halftime!

The offense of the two teams is completely different from other teams in the league, which is really too attractive to the audience.

Frank was also affected by such a fast pace. He always emphasized defense and did not even raise any objections.

He was testing the offensive ceiling of the Nets. He always knew that the team's offensive firepower would not lose to the Suns.

But how high its ceiling is, even as a head coach, he could not understand, and today is obviously a great opportunity.

A good opponent can stimulate all the offensive desires of the team.

Only the head coach of the Suns had a sad face. The opponent's exaggerated scoring ability,

The opponent was like a group of humanoid monsters, tireless, who could stop them?

The Suns at home still didn't have an advantage under their own rhythm.

The firepower of the Nets in the second quarter was almost despairing, scoring 47 points in a single quarter.

The mustache who always prioritized offense actually emphasized defense to the players in the locker room.

The uncontrolled Nets were too brutal, and even he was not sure of winning.

In the third quarter,

The Suns continued to adjust. On the one hand, they replaced Quentin Richardson to limit Vince Carter's performance.

On the other hand, they replaced Marion with Stoudemire to defend Roy.

Something must be done or the Suns will be blocked.

After the opening, Quentin Richard was obviously better than veteran Jim Jackson.

His defensive experience was not as good as the veteran, but his enthusiasm and speed had greatly exceeded Jim Jackson.

You must know that in the second quarter facing Jim Jackson's defense,

Carter had everything he wanted inside and outside the Suns.

In the second quarter, he was like the sharpest knife, piercing the Suns' defense again and again.

Carter's continuous breakthrough route didn't have many good opportunities, so he passed the ball to Roy from a long distance.

The Nets' offense had time leftLess than ten seconds,

This was the first time Roy faced Stoudemire alone in this game,

Stoudemire was not injured at this time, his jumping ability and physical fitness were at the best in his career,

Roy dribbled and tested, he defended very well, it can be seen that Stoudemire was very focused,

As long as a person can focus on defense, then his defense can at least be improved by a level,

Roy's large-scale shaking did not deceive Stoudemire, and there was less than five seconds left,

No more hesitation, dribbling hard and breaking through with a wide hip,

Since he could not take shortcuts, he could only force his opponent,

Stoudemire was still strong enough, Roy and him in motion Confrontation does not give you too much power advantage.

Fortunately, Roy still has height and bounce.

The arm span gives Roy space to shoot, and the bounce further widens the distance between him and Stoudemire.

Roy backs Stoudemire to the basket and rubs the board.

Seeing Roy stuck behind him and shoots calmly,

Stoudemire got anxious on the spot and jumped from behind to reach out to change the shot, but unfortunately he could not interfere with Roy's shot.

Instead, his blocking hand hit Roy's elbow.

"Beep"

The basketball still rubbed the backboard and fell into the basket under his interference, and he was called for a defensive foul.

Two points are valid, 2+1!

Stoudemire was upset that he was still scored despite his best defense.

He wanted to win the game like all the Suns players to prove that he was not worse than the opponent.

When he tried his best, the opponent seemed to have only used 8 points of strength, which was very discouraging.

Looking at Roy who scored 2+1 with a calm face, Stoudemire didn't know what to say.

Roy made the free throw steadily.

The score difference continued to widen.

The Suns found that the ball still had to be given to Nash. D'Antoni also figured it out during the half-time break.

Joe Johnson couldn't be allowed to organize the offense. Without Nash's organization, the Suns seemed to have lost their souls. Although they were not chaotic, they also lost their spirituality.

Without Nash's command, the Suns could only be regarded as an ordinary playoff marginal team.

Instead of being the first in the West with a gap in the lead like now,

The root cause of all this was the son of the wind from Canada - Steve Nash.

The Suns specially arranged Joe Johnson and Quentin Richardson to assist Nash on his way to dribbling across half court.

Since there was no chance for a fast break, the threat of Nash in positional attack should not be underestimated.

Nash and Stoudemire played pick-and-roll.

Lagabell and Tyson Chandler chose to switch defense.

Nash has always been good at playing small against big.

He followed Stoudemire slowly, like the King of Qin around the pillar.

When Chandler was hesitating whether Nash would attack,

Nash pretended to attack and got up to jump shot. Chandler's sensitive jumping nerves were touched and Nash called him on the defensive.

The defender had been deceived. Nash dodged and stepped back, forcing Roy, who was not far away, to come over to defend.

After jumping, he missed the ball. Nash stepped back and saw an open space in front of him.

Roy's defense did not panic Nash.

He changed his shot to pass. The Nets had no tricks left under the basket.

Stoudemire received the ball under the basket.

Lagabelle was powerless to stop Stoudemire under the basket.

The opponent's tomahawk dunk set off the Suns' home court.

It was obvious that the plan to easily solve the Phoenix Suns failed.
