Chapter 317 The King Takes the Lead
The Kings attack, their offensive quality is very high, with the cover and coordination of the Princeton system, the Kings players have easy offensive opportunities, especially the Suns did not do a good job defensively.
Under the attack of the Princeton system, the Suns' defense was full of mistakes and omissions.
Offensively, Bibby is also an All-Star point guard. Facing the poor defensive ability of Nash, Bibby has no intention of holding back. He breaks through with the ball in the frontcourt, uses Webber's pick-and-roll cover, gets rid of Nash's defense, and immediately pulls the bow Take the arrow, open your hand and shoot a two-point jumper.
His mid-range shot is very accurate, there is no expression on his face, and he has the big heart of a cold-blooded killer. He is called the "white devil".
In general, under Bibby's shots, he seldom misses the shot. However, his style of play is too simple and unpretentious, and there are loopholes in defense. Data doesn't explode.
In order to make a star, the Kings did not let Bibby come to the key ball, but Webber or Stojakovic took the shot.
Swish! !
Mike Bibby was not soft-handed. Immediately after the pick-and-roll, he took a step laterally, retreated and dribbled the ball and jumped up to shoot.
The basketball was very precise, hit the bull's-eye, and scored two points.
Nash didn't let Bibby be the only beauty. He dribbled the ball to the front court without any pause. He directly stepped down the dribble and changed direction. Tightly across in front of Nash.
During the march, Nash directly stepped down to dribble, shot the basketball from the right to the left, took a big step across, and made a shooting posture of worshiping Buddha.
Bibby desperately turned back to chase, but Nash made a fake shot and made a real shot. He changed direction behind his back, pulled back to the right, and exerted force with his feet. While throwing Bibby away, the basketball shot quickly. Holding the basketball in his hands, he threw the basketball towards the basket with ease and ease. The basketball flew over the top of Weber's five fingers, wiped the backboard, and went into the basket precisely.
Nash's sudden change of rhythm, instead of delivering ammunition for his teammates, he shot himself, completely disrupting the Kings' defensive deployment.
Next, the point guards of the two teams began to confront each other. It is now February, and the voting for the All-Star players has almost ended. There is still a week to go, and Nash is almost guaranteed to be the starting point guard in the Western Conference.
Bibby wants to prove that his offensive talent is not inferior to Nash's. His unremarkable statistics are entirely due to the team's tactical play.
Don't look at Mike Bibby as a point guard, in fact, he just dribbles the ball to the frontcourt. The support organization of the Kings has always been initiated from the inside.
Webber, Brad Miller, then Bibby, and the Kings implemented the philosophy that everyone can pass, everyone can shoot, and everyone can run screens.
This kind of selfless team-based team makes it difficult for Bibby to get assist data. Sometimes he clearly passes a good ball, and his teammates can shoot by themselves. The chances are good, but his teammates pass the ball.
Under such circumstances, Bibby was also very helpless and could only let go of his heart.
The situation of the Suns is different. Nash is the organizational brain of the Suns, and almost all the balls will pass through him.
Nash has no choice but to have a bad number of assists.
Not to mention, in the Suns team, apart from Joe Johnson, the starting five tigers, the other four have relatively ordinary ball-handling offensive ability.
The shot selection is almost all catch and shoot. In this case, unless the Suns have a bad shooting touch, otherwise, it is almost no challenge for Nash to get double figures in assists.
Of course, Nash really possesses the strength. When the Suns' flanks' offense was not smooth, he began to take the initiative to carry the banner of the Suns' offense.
He showed off his Cavaliers archery small throw, the emergency stop jump shot that broke through to the inside, and the sudden three-pointer.
Bibby also showed off his mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll, and started to play off-ball running skills. Through non-stop guarding, counter-running, and air cuts to the basket, he hit the back door of the Suns and made it easy. basket succeeded.
Neither of the two top point guards took offensive scoring as their first option. After just a few rounds of heads-up, they also began to support and organize the offense.
The Princeton system for the Kings is working very well.
Bibby dribbles upfield and hands the basketball over to Webb's high play.
Weber was condescending, with a wide field of vision. He saw Stojakovic use a wonderful back run, hitting east and west.
Make an air cut to the inside, then suddenly turn back outside the three-point line.
With a clear slap, Weber hit the ground and passed the ball. The basketball bounced off the floor and flew out of the left three-point line.
When the ball arrives, the timing is very precise. Stojakovic easily catches the ball from outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left side. Without half-point movements, he directly bends his knees and takes off.
When Richardson turned back to chase, it was too late.
The basketball was pulled away from Stojakovic's hand, drawing a full moon-like arc in the air.
Swish! !
The white net was overflowing, Stojakovic raised his knife and hit a three-pointer accurately, piercing the net, and there was a burst of white spray.
This attack was a three-pointer tactic specially created by the Kings for Stojakovic.
This shooting point is also the area where Stojakovic is best at shooting three-pointers.
Subsequently, Mobley cut to the basket, easily received Webber's pass, dribbled to the basket, took off with both feet, and dunked with both hands.
Immediately afterwards, Brad Miller pulled to the side to set a screen for Stojakovic. Webb knew how to pass the ball to Stojakovic, who used the screen to get rid of Richardson and successfully received the ball. , Yun took a step towards the basket, and after attracting the Suns' defense to shrink, there was a clear snap.
Stojakovic made a clever behind-the-back pass, and the basketball tricked everyone and landed in the hands of Brad Miller from the left 45-degree three-point line.
The prosperous Brad Miller did not waste Stojakovic's hard-won pass.
After receiving the ball, without any hesitation, he directly pulled the bow and arrow, bent his knees and jumped up, and opened his hand to shoot a three-pointer.
Swish! !
Brad Miller has a precise three-pointer, withdraws to the outside line, and makes a steady three-pointer.
In addition to supporting the organization, Webb also singled out Marion with the ball from time to time, sorting out the Kings' offense in an orderly manner, and played an offensive offensive of all soldiers. The offensive firepower was very smooth and powerful.
Defensively, the Kings took the initiative to suppress the offensive rhythm of the Suns, preventing Nash from raising the rhythm of the game and playing a 7-second run and bomb.
In the positional battle, seeing that the Suns' outside shots were inaccurate, Richardson and Joe Johnson missed three-pointers one after another, so the Kings began to shrink their defenses to encircle the Suns' inside offense.
The Suns couldn't make three-pointers from the outside and could only rely on the pick-and-roll cooperation of Nash and Stoudemire.
Although Nash and Stoudemire played amazingly enough, it is a pity that the Suns couldn't play wonderful running and bombing, couldn't rush, and even missed shots when they rushed.
The diamond tactic has no outside three-point support, only the pick-and-roll offense of Nash and Stoudemire. How can this offensive firepower be the opponent of the Kings playing the Princeton system.
The Kings played more offensively, and the Suns couldn't hold their heads up at all in the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Sacramento Kings temporarily lead the Phoenix Suns with a 33-24, 9-point advantage.
