Chapter 82: Crotch Piercing

After the two brothers came on the court, they faced the inside line formed by Dio and Marion, which was exactly the same as the interior combination of the Suns in the preseason.

Today, Marion didn't feel good, and he hit all the iron with two shots from the outside, so Ji Guoyi was even more unscrupulous to stay on the inside line and not go out, helping his brother to guard the basket together.

Facing a basket barrier made up of twin brothers, the Suns' breakthrough today didn't pose much of a threat.

Although the Suns rank among the top in the league in their outside three-point ability and often give the impression of projection-oriented, they will not give up any opportunity to impact the basket, and there is no player in the rotation of seven who cannot break through, which is also a major feature of the Suns, and the team that relies on shooting alone cannot get a 62-win record.

The Phoenix had the same trouble today as the Clippers' opponent in the first 10 games, even though they led the Clippers by 10 points off the bench, but their attack in the paint area did not have much effect, and only Stoudemire scored some points on his own.

Stoudemire scored just six points in the first quarter, and the two brothers limited the Bully's threat to a normal range.

Smalls is averaging just around 25 points per game this year, and judging by his first-quarter scores, they happen to be able to limit Sstaadmire's scoring to less than 25 points.

Nash has returned to the court, and Black Parker used Ji Guoqiu's cover to score a layup.

To put it mildly, not only is Xiao Si defending on the inside, but Nash is also good enough on the defensive end, he and Stoudemire are on the court at the same time, and the Suns defensive end is equivalent to having two black holes inside and outside, and the score comes and goes quickly. Maybe that's why the Suns played a good game, with big ups and downs, like a roller coaster!

The Suns attacked, Nash dribbled into the interior, and the Son of the Wind dribbled in the restricted area and waited for an opportunity to get to the basket, although the two brothers were not far away, they couldn't react, and Nash's shot was just chosen at the moment when the two of them felt the most awkward.

As long as Lao Qu dribbles the ball into the inside, it is impossible to predict whether he will pass the ball or attack himself, and it is completely impossible to predict his next move.

A minute later, Stoudemire was back on the pitch, with Christian Dior still in the number four position, Marion back in the number three and Raja Bale in the second.

Ji Guoyi and Dio don't have much confrontation, the Suns attack, Dio holds the ball in the frame, cuts to the right in the left corner, and relies on a quick first step and a stronger body to resist Ji Guoyi and hit the board under the basket.

This is a breakthrough method that the French domestic line is very good at, and his first step during the Suns period was enough to break through most of the interior line, without help defense, Dior's finishing ability is quite high.

Ji Guoqiu watched the defense of Stoudemire on the outside this time and couldn't come back. Ji Guoyi's one-on-one defense of Dio seemed to be more than enough, he didn't have enough strength to withstand the opponent, even if he could keep up, his body couldn't stop Dior's layup.

"It's strange, how did the wolf king survive when he was so bad?"

Ji Guoyi grabbed the basketball from the basket, slapped it hard, and walked to the bottom line to serve depressedly.

"Next time you move early, put a proper distance, and you will have time to react."

Ji Guoqiu has some methods, but there are also shortcomings, and Dio will get a chance to shoot because of this. However, it is much better to have Dior shoot than to be killed by him, and it is better to force the opponent to choose an attack with a lower chance of success, even if it is a successful defense.

After Stoudemire came on the court, Nash began to play more with the Little Overlord. Nash and Xiaosi's pick-and-roll combination is the most threatening block-and-roll combination in the league, and after these two people are disassembled, they can both be pulled out or down, and it looks like just two people, but in fact, there can be four or five variations. And both of these are too strong in their individual abilities to defend.

Nash dribbled to the weak side after blocking, Stoudemire immediately went down, Ji Guoqiu chose to make up for Nash who got a shooting opportunity, and Stoudemire handed it to his younger brother to help defend.

Ji Guoqiu pounced towards Nash, only to see the other party's wrist shake, and suddenly a gust of wind blew through the small door......

The "American Airlines Center" suddenly resounded with a burst of laughter, and Ji Guoqiu was crotched by Nash.

Twilight Girl, who was watching the game in front of the TV, couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ji Guoqiu's obviously embarrassed face. And at Taylor Swift's house in Los Angeles, not far from where the two brothers lived, the little singer who had just returned home from New York to watch the game kept his eyes on Ji Guoyi, who was about to one-on-one with Stoudemire.

Ji Guozhi let go of Dio and made up for Stoudemire, he knew that Xiao Si Bacheng would not pass the ball, this was his style, Xiao Bawang was very unique on the offensive end, and he would not pass the ball lightly.

Stoudemire's breakaway layup is a dangerous one, and with a long stride, he can make a three-step layup from anywhere on the three-point line without having to make adjustments. This time, Stoudemire received a pass in the middle of the game and didn't even need to dribble the ball again to go straight to the basket.

Ji Guosha made up the defense in place, stretched out his long arm to the basketball slap, and Stoudemire used a pull rod in the air that only an outside player can make to work, and dodged Ji Guoyi's block in the air to score the basketball.

"Toot!"

Ji Guozhi not only did not defend Stoudemire this time, but also sent a foul, two plus one.

The "American Airlines Center" immediately resounded with a tsunami-like cheer, and the two brothers were both teased on the defensive end this time, which was a cooperation that could be the top ten goals last month, and the two twins became the background emperor.

"Made!" Ji Guoyi couldn't help but scold.

Ji Guoqiu also has the urge to swear, and the small door was pierced, which is really embarrassing.

Today's game was the first time they were so weak on the defensive end, the two just couldn't score in the last game against the Nuggets, and the defense they relied on for survival has not been penetrated. But in the face of the sun today, the two have gradually been unable to withstand each other's increasingly fierce attacks.

In the second quarter, Nash and Stoudemire frequently used their tacit blocking and dismantling to constantly cause problems for the two brothers.

Ji Guoyi committed three fouls in the first half of the regular season at 2 minutes and 50 seconds in the second quarter and had to go off the court.

Ji Guoqiu was alone on the field, and he couldn't withstand the impact of Stoudemire.

At the end of the first half, Stoudemire exploded in the second quarter, scoring 11 points in a single quarter to increase the total to 17 points.

At halftime, the score was 48:58, and the main team of the Clippers only managed not to be pulled away from the score on the court, and did not narrow the difference.

The best player for the Clippers on the defensive end today was James Posey, who had the speed and agility to successfully block his opponent on the defensive end. Artest, who used to be more good, is average today, the Suns' offensive rhythm is too fast, Artest's tonnage affects his speed, and his table has always been bad in the face of the bombardment team.

Ji Guoqiu got 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half, and Ji Guoqiu had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist. At halftime, both men were charged with three fouls, and this was their first foul crisis. Without the help of four pairs of eyes, they would have been even more passive.

At halftime, Dunleavy Sr. could only emphasize that the players should be more active in defense and rotation, stabilize the rhythm, and compress the offensive round.

These precautions were emphasized by Dunleavy Sr. before the game began, but from the first half, it still didn't seem that they had too many restrictions on the Suns. Even the paint defense, which has always been reassuring, was messed up by Stoudemire today.

In the third quarter, Ji Guozhi came up and forced a three-point shot at Marion on the outside, this time some reckless shot choices were not punished, the basketball bounced into the net on the back edge of the basket, and Ji Guoyi got the 10th point of the game.

"Don't be in a hurry." Ji Guoqiu shouted in his heart when he returned to defense.

"There's no way, we can't beat them in the normal way, we can only try to see if the feel is hot, we will lose if we don't explode today."

Ji Guoyi thinks that he has seen the situation clearly, hard power is not an opponent, so it can only be seen whether there is luck.

The team with the worst record in the NBA can win more than a dozen games in a season, and sometimes win against a defensive powerhouse like the Spurs. In most of this case, the whole team felt hot and shot the opponent to death with unreasonable shots.

Nash turned around and continued to play with Smalls, but the final pass was a smash to Marion, and the hacker scored two points on a low post throw-up.

"Damn, this pass is so weird, you don't need to make adjustments to make a shot when you receive a pass, it doesn't give us time to react at all, and it's useless to have telepathy." Ji Guozhi went to cover the more threatening Stoudemire before, and when he wanted to go back to make up for Marion, it was too late.

The two brothers can't do anything about the Suns like this, unless they can defend Stoudemire one-on-one, which won't give the Suns a chance to vacate. But even Duncan can't do this, and the two of them can't do it at the moment.

In the third quarter, Ji Guoyi turned on the offensive mode, hoping to help the team with his own scores. His hand is really good, but this can only help the team not to be opened up by the Suns, and it is not his credit alone, Ji Guoqiu's attack in the low post also scored a lot of points on Xiao Si's head, and the two worked together to barely let the team keep up with the scoring momentum of the Suns.

Ji Guoqiu turned his number into 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in the third quarter, and Ji Guoqiu had 15 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist, and the two combined for 28 points in the third quarter.

D'Antoni has a big opinion on Stoudemire's defense, but there is nothing that can be done about the mustache, and this kind of defense is not a day or two, and if it can be changed, it will be changed long ago.
