Chapter 420 The Battle of Rhythm
After beating the Philadelphia 76ers and coming off a day off, the Phoenix Suns will host the Miami Heat at home.
At 2006:1 p.m. on January 6, 9, the game between the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat was about to start at the American West Arena.
On the commentary stage, Barkley adjusted the Heat's starting lineup, and explained with a smile: "The Heat are the favorite team to compete for the championship this year. They retain the combination of Wade and O'Neal. During the offseason, there will be no Keep strengthening and enriching the strength of their lineup. Now the Heat can't play a record that matches their strength. However, no one will think that the strength of the Heat is not good, they will only think that their lineup has not run well. If their The lineup has been polished and shaped, and it is estimated that they can be the Heat's opponents, and they can be counted on one hand!!
The Heat's starting list, No. 1 is Jason Williams, No. 2 is played by Dwyane Wade, No. 3 is the main defensive James Posey, No. 4 Udonis Haslem, No. 5 The position is occupied by Shaquille O'Neal.
Looking at the Heat's starting list, the Heat seem to pay more attention to defense in this game, and the offense and defense are quite balanced.
It seems that the offensive power of the Suns is very fearful, and the next one may be a game of offense and defense! ! "
But Kenny Smith shook his head and added: "I don't think so. The Heat's offensive ability will not be that bad. With two top stars, Wade and O'Neal, the distribution of ball rights is very particular. The Heat's starting lineup Putting two defensive champions is not because the Heat simply want to fight defense.
I think the Heat want to make up two sets of balanced lineups, so that the bench lineup can become their trump card, right?
After all, the Heat's bench lineup is too luxurious. Gary Payton, Antawn Walker, and Alonzo Mourning, with three former All-Star-level veterans in charge, have too many lineups for the Heat.
Not to mention the strength of the Suns' bench lineup, which is relatively mediocre. As long as the Heat use the crowd tactics, no matter how hot the Suns are, even if they sit at home, it is estimated that facing the Heat's targeted tactics will be very effective. It may not be good, who will win in the end?It's really hard to say, it's full of highlights! ! "
Barkley nodded, took over the topic and said: "The current record of the Heat is mediocre, with only a record of 19 wins and 14 losses, ranking No.6 in the Eastern Theater. If the Heat want to win the championship, they want to start from the Eastern Theater." If they break through, they will definitely hit the rankings in the regular season. At least they must maintain the top three in the Eastern Conference in order to gain a greater advantage in the playoffs.
Considering that they are not in their best condition yet, it is understandable to make tactical adjustments.
However, as a commentator and a viewer, I still hope to see a wonderful offensive battle. The Heat actually don’t need to play any tactics. They can put the former All-Star scorer Walker in the starting lineup. His three-pointer The ball ability should be much stronger than Posey.
With O'Neal as a big killer, they are still facing the Suns who have lost Stoudemire, the core insider. As long as they attract pincers, they can send the basketball to the outside.
If the Heat line up in this way, it is estimated that they can blow up the internal and external lines of the Suns.
If it's just defense, it should be very difficult to win the current Suns team that is in such a hot state. "
After hearing Barkley's analysis, Kenny Smith pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Your point of view does make sense. The Suns' starting lineup is guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Raja Bell, small forward Boris Diaw, power forward Shawn Marion, center Kurt Thomas.
The Suns Stoudemire is absent due to injury. With the current inside lineup of the Suns, it is estimated that Thomas and Marion will be difficult to withstand O'Neal's low attack. If the Heat add a reliable three-point shooter on the outside , If it is used to expand the offensive space, as long as O'Neal attracts double-teams and makes a point from the outside, the possibility of the Suns falling inside and outside the line is really great.
Moreover, Wade's ability to break through and score the ball is very strong. If Nash is crazy with the ball after the pick-and-roll, the Suns' outside defense will not be able to withstand it.
Judging from the starting lineups of the two teams, it is entirely possible for the Heat to become the nemesis of the Suns.
Because, the Heat's offensive strengths are the Suns' defensive weaknesses. If the Heat open up their posture and fight for offense, the Suns may indeed be blown inside and out.
However, basketball is not calculation. With Nash in the Suns lineup, the existence of this superstar has unlimited possibilities. Maybe Nash can increase his speed, play a 7-second run and bomb tactic, and if his body rushes up, it is estimated that O'Neal, who couldn't control his weight, would be the first to fall down, because he was inferior to none of the ten people in the audience in terms of running ability.
Next, let us turn our attention to the basketball court to see what kind of game the two teams will play! ! "
After a simple appearance, a layup and a warm-up exercise, the starting players of both sides lined up and came to the middle circle of the basketball court. The game began with a scrimmage.
A beep whistle sounded.
The referee threw the basketball high into the sky.
Thomas VS O'Neal! !
The two jumped almost at the same time. O'Neal's weight exceeded the standard, but he was a flexible and fat man. His physical talent was unparalleled when he was young. He was 216cm taller than his opponent by a full 10 centimeters. He easily defeated Thomas and surpassed the basketball Dial to Jason Williams.
The game started in the first quarter, and the Heat got the ball first.
With long legs, Jason Williams dribbled the ball across the half court, facing Nash's main defense, instead of attacking with the ball, he hoisted the basketball inside to attack.
In the low post on the right side, O'Neal catches the ball behind, without pause, with a strong body, after knocking Thomas away, he kicks up from the basket forcibly. In the basket, two points were poured in, and the score was recorded.
2 to 0! !
O'Neal's pause and powerful low-post offense are simply unsolvable.
Not only the inside defense of the Suns couldn't resist O'Neal's low-post offense, but the inside defense of the entire league couldn't withstand O'Neal's inside attack. However, the Suns' inside strength, without Stoudemire's presence, inside defense The degree of weakness in strength is a number one existence.
The Suns also knew where their weakness was, so they used running to deal with it, rushed up, and ran with O'Neal, using the Heat's inside advantage to compete for speed.
Since the competition of strength and height is not as good as that of the Heat, the Suns will make full use of the advantages of speed and use the width and space on the basketball court to fight.
Both sides know that this game is not only a comparison of lineup strength, but more importantly, the control of rhythm.
The Suns want to speed up, rushing up, running and bombing, so as to get more offensive space and reduce the collision of height and strength.
But the Heat want to slow down, lower the tempo to play positional warfare, and want to take advantage of their height and strength to bully the Suns.
After the Suns scored a goal, Marion immediately sent from the bottom line. After Nash received the ball, he turned around and dribbled the ball. On the court, he pushed with both hands non-stop, and there was a clear snap, and Nash hit the ground one by one, sending the basketball to the inside.
Dior made an air cut to the basket, easily caught the ball for a layup, made a sling in the air, slammed the basketball into the basket, scored two points, and returned the favor.
2 to 2! !
After the Suns' offense was over, O'Neal couldn't catch up even with sprinting speed throughout the whole process. He had just stepped on the three-point line, and the Suns' offense was completed as soon as they came back. The extreme offensive speed made O'Neal's defense become It was a display and dragged the Heat back.
If this problem is not solved, even if O'Neal attacks in the low post, no matter how unsolvable and no matter how many points he scores, the best result will be nothing more than beating each other to the brim!
Wouldn't O'Neill become a tasteless player on the court?
