Chapter 235
Nash looked at Garnett, and quickly shook his head in his heart. Leaving aside Garnett's previous glory, Nash's heart was shaken by his personal achievements last season, and he was selected into the best defensive team. The existence of being elected as the MVP of the regular season cannot be faked under the prestige.
Although Stoudemire is his teammate, he has played brilliant statistics and has outstanding physical talent, but Nash is still not optimistic that Stoudemire can break Garnett's defense.
Cassel in front of him is already old. It stands to reason that Nash, who is in his peak period, should be easy to get a chance from Cassel. However, it is not long before the game, and Nash's physical advantage over Kassel is not obvious, so Can only be ruled out again!
Sprewell, who is on the right flank, has both offense and defense. He is 35 years old, but his physical talent has not declined at all.
Although Joe Johnson's singles ability is relatively good, in the face of all-star opponents, Joe Johnson's advantage is actually not great.
Marion is a breakthrough point facing Madsen, but Marion's offensive methods are relatively simple, attacking the basket, and if Garnett makes up defense, Marion's offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, Marion's mid-range shot is good, but his range is limited. Facing the Timberwolves who tend to shrink, his mid-range shot threat is not a key factor for breaking the game.
It seems that the prerequisites of diamond tactics are needed to start with. The magic of this set of tactics lies in the containment effect on the flanks. To put it bluntly, it is able to shoot three-pointers.
If the outside three-point firepower is not strong, there will be no room for the pick-and-roll tactics of diamond tactics, and they will only fall into the predicament of being flanked.
After figuring out all these issues, Nash ignored the Timberwolves' flaws.
Maybe it's about me, as long as my offensive firepower is played out, the Timberwolves will be full of flaws.
If this is not possible, even if a flaw in the Timberwolves is found, the Suns will be able to blast their opponents from this flaw?
You must know that the Timberwolves are a championship-level team. They reached the Western Conference Finals last season. There will be no obvious flaws at all.
Even if there is a flaw, it is an invincible flaw.
Nash dribbled straight to Cassel, and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll again,
Before the Timberwolves' double-teaming tactics failed to close the siege, Nash automatically took a step back, jumped up and passed the ball to the left perimeter.
At the bottom corner of the left three-point line, Richardson caught the ball and faced the frame without any extra movement.
Szczerbiak emptied Richardson and rushed to entangle Marion so that Madsen and Cassel could form a pincer attack on Nash.
Unexpectedly, Nash played very resolutely and passed the ball very well.
When Szczerbiak wanted to turn back to defend, Marion retaliated in the same way and stopped Szczerbiak directly with his body.
Do you come and go when you want?
It's just a dream!
Since you are here to pester him, Marion, then stay!
No one wants to leave easily.
The basketball was pulled away from the fingertips, and there was a flat landscape in front of my eyes. Without any interference, the basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air.
There was a clear and crisp net cleaning sound, the white net flowers splashed, and a three-pointer shot through the heart.
Richardson's three-pointer finally fired!
Just hitting a three-pointer, the Timberwolves were completely unmoved. They didn't believe that the Suns could make every three-pointer.
When Nash and Stoudemire continued to play the pick-and-roll, they showed a fearless attitude and still double-teamed Nash. Szczerbiak still emptied Richardson and went to replace Marion.
Richardson is not a stake, nor is it a straw bag. He ran back and forth, along the periphery of the three-point line, and ran towards the side with the ball.
Even though Nash is double-teamed, he can still make support passes calmly.
Pass the basketball to the left perimeter, and play non-stop with one tactic.
Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left, Richardson moved the ball and caught the ball without any hesitation. He slightly bent his knees and jumped up lightly. His body bloomed in the air. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew out. With a sound, the basketball hit the bull's-eye of the three-pointer precisely as if it had been equipped with a navigator, and the basketball hit the net.
Outside the court, the eyes of the fans and spectators were very white. They saw the tight defense of the Timberwolves and the key to Richardson's two three-pointers. Cheers and cheers came overwhelming.
In the commentary booth, Barkley smiled and kept praising Richardson, calling him the Suns' three-pointer.
Richardson hit consecutive three-pointers, so that Szczerbiak was firmly fixed on the left corner and tried to leave twice. Although Richardson's three-pointers did not blossom, the continuous long Two points away but still hit, the Timberwolves' double-teaming and shrinking defense faced collapse.
Richardson's three-pointer was restrained, Szebia did not dare to shrink the defense line, and the left offensive space was available. Madsen still implemented double-team tactics, but Nash distributed the basketball to Marion to attack. In the mid-range shot, a slam dunk hit the basket and made Madsen dare not let go of Marion and double-teamed Nash.
Even if the Timberwolves' double-teaming tactics were switched to Sprewell on the right, it would not work.
Joe Johnson's singles attack began to succeed again and again, making Sprewell become honest, staying on the right side and not daring to move easily.
The Timberwolves with strong defensive strength were then used by Nash's ingenious support organization and the ferocity of outside firepower to firmly stare at his hands and feet, unable to move.
The Suns' offensive firepower from outside was fully fired, which made the Timberwolves' shrinking defensive tactics fail, and the Suns got room to attack inside.
Nash and Stoudemire played sharp and efficient pick-and-roll cooperation.
Garnett didn't make a save, and Nash started to show off his small throws, and then calmly made mid-range jumpers, frequently scoring points easily.
Garnett could only pounce, when Stoudemire finally began to take over the offensive firepower of the Suns.
If Garnett and Cassel double-team Nash, Stoudemire immediately cuts down after the pick-and-roll, Nash throws the basketball to the basket, and Stoudemire immediately becomes an alley-oop slam dunk .
If Garnett and Cassell choose to switch positions with each other, Nash doesn't have a huge advantage over Garnett, who has good footwork.
However, Nash can pass the ball to Stoudemire and face Kassel's big and small opportunities.
Stoudemire, who had been suffocated for a long time, didn't show any mercy at all. Wu Lun shot directly on top of Cassel's head, shot directly from the middle, or dribbled into the inside line, using his body and strength to bully Cassell, carrying his body, forced a layup.
Stoudemire played with ease, very easily, scoring as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
The Suns' offensive firepower is fully activated, and they have played a multi-point offensive situation. On offense, let the Timberwolves appreciate what is the best offensive firepower in the league?
However, although the Timberwolves were beaten defensively, they fought back tenaciously with the same offensive firepower.
Szczerbiak took the lead to stand up and compete with the Suns. He hit two mid-range two-pointers in a row, and even made a masterpiece with an empty cut layup. The All-Star pitcher really deserves his reputation. His precise mid-range shooting ability, Let the Suns defense suffer.
Of course, the most threatening thing for the Timberwolves is still the simple version of the triangle offense. Although he can't replicate the authentic and smooth triangle offense of the Lakers, there are too many good attackers in the Timberwolves. The offensive efficiency is very good.
Among them, Garnett played the best in the paint. Facing strong physical fitness and ordinary Stoudemire's defensive skills, Garnett played very calmly.
As the pivot of the triangle offensive tactics, Kassel has adjusted very steadily and brilliantly.
Once Garnett is in position, Cassel sends the basketball to Garnett.
Garnett felt hot and showed off his iron-blooded mid-range shot.
Received the ball from the low position on the left side of the frame, facing Stoudemire's defense, feinted a shot, not sure if Stoudemire was caught, immediately dribbled the ball to the baseline and broke through, directly pulled the ball up, two points Mid-range fadeaway jump shot.
In the low position on the left, he has practiced the mid-range shots in this area without fail, and the shooting point is high, and he has added a back. His touch is very soft, and his shots are almost deadly.
Stoudemire alone can't prevent Garnett's powerful offense.
If Richardson lets go of the opponent's defense and rushes forward with Stoudemire to pinch Garnett, Garnett makes a point, but Szczerbiak's mid-range shot will not be soft .
Even if Szczerbiak's mid-range shot misses, Garnett is too comprehensive. Stoudemire can't grab Garnett's offensive rebounds. Under such circumstances, Szczerbiak's mid-range Casting is even more deadly.
In addition to Garnett on the inside and Szczerbiak on the left, Sprewell on the outside also echoed on the right flank.
Garnett and Szczerbiak nailed the Suns' left defense firmly like needles, Cassel restrained Nash in the middle, and Madsen exchanged his son Marion.
The Suns' mobile defensive system has also been completely dismantled, leaving nothing behind.
Facing Joe Johnson, this roster is outstanding, but the defense is not well-known. Sprewell's true qualities of a master of chaos are fully displayed.
It's not just that he is called "Singles Joe" to be outstanding in singles. Sprewell is called "Madman", and he does have the capital of arrogance.
I saw that he singled out Joe Johnson on the right side, and he was also one-on-one. Facing Marion's occasional attack after getting rid of Madsen's entanglement, Sprewell was not afraid at all, and he could still deal with Marion and Joe Johnson, although it will take some effort, can still score.
Of course, if Sprewell passes the ball, the threat is even greater.
With three outstanding comrades in arms to help contain the defense, Kassel's offense also has a good performance.
Although he is quite old, his physical fitness has not deteriorated seriously even though he is nicknamed "Alien".
Even if his mobility is not as good as today's Nash, but facing Nash whose defensive ability is like paper.
It is still very easy for Cassell to score. If it is not necessary to stay organized and support, when there is still energy in the first quarter, it is easy to overwhelm Nash's defense, as easy as drinking water.
The Timberwolves' four All-Stars blossomed collectively, which can be regarded as a multi-point blooming situation. When the defense could not withstand the violent offensive firepower of the Suns, they also played very simply.
In the first quarter, the two sides played back and forth, especially in the middle of the game, the Timberwolves also let go of their hands and feet, and they fought aggressively with the Suns. The situation was very open and closed, and it was very lively.
However, despite the ferocious offensive firepower of the two sides, the scores of the two sides are also rising steadily. However, after the first quarter, no one can do anything to the opponent's offense. With a score of 29 to 29, the battle was evenly divided.
The first quarter was just a tie, and neither side was convinced.
D'Antoni relies on the fact that the starting five of the Suns are young enough and physically strong enough to be able to exercise. Besides, his style of play is like this, and only one player is rotated.
Richardson went off and Lin Bai put on the field.
If you only look at the scores of the two sides in the first quarter, it is true that no one can do anything to the other side, at most they just explode each other on offense.
However, D'Antoni, who was on the sidelines, could see clearly, and he was not just for nothing.
I know that the reason for this situation is completely because the Suns' three-pointer offensive firepower is misfired. Richardson did hit two three-pointers, but the entire Suns didn't hit a three-pointer. Whether it was Joe Johnson's open three-point jumper or Nash's sudden three-pointer, they missed.
The main tactic of the Suns is still running and bombing!
Running and bombing, as the name suggests, there are both running and bombing!
If it's just a two-point shot, it's called a running shot. Since it's a bang, it naturally has a long distance and strong firepower in it.
The three-point shot has enough distance and enough damage factors. If it can't rain three-pointers, how can it be an authentic run and bomb?
With such obsession, D'Antoni pushed Lin Bai's gun out.
The Timberwolves have two veterans in the starting five, and Szczerbiak has a vulnerable physique. Naturally, he will not use it to death in an ordinary regular season. If one of the two is injured, the head coach Philip Sand Bad luck.
The Timberwolves made a lot of money to get together a luxury lineup with only one goal of hitting the NBA championship, but because of the head coach's mistakes, it caused an irreparable situation, and Sanders can get out.
Fortunately, the Timberwolves have a good replacement lineup. There is parallel import champion Olowokandi at the center, Troy Hudson, a convulsion master at the point guard, Trenton Hassell, a defensive champion at the small forward, and Trenton Hassell at the power forward. There is also Eddie Griffin, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, and it is enough to only keep Sprewell, who has amazing physical strength.
Facing a bench lineup like the Timberwolves, the Suns originally thought it would be a great opportunity to break the tie between the two sides and establish a lead.
Unexpectedly, the Suns' mid-range shot was suddenly inaccurate, and the sound of iron strikes could be heard...
