"With the exception of Nash, the other Suns players can let them shoot threes appropriately, and we have to keep a firm hold on to the mid-range and the paint area in this game, and the perimeter players have to keep an eye on their opponents, pay attention to the speed of the defense, and we have to limit their fast-break scoring. To sum it up: defend the rebound, defend the mid-range, the basket and the fast break, and that's what I'm asking you to do on the defensive end. ”

Ji Guoyi patted his chest first and said: "No problem, my brother and I will definitely hold the three-second zone and rebound." ”

"I'm talking about you, today on the inside you're going to play to your nimble strengths, we're going to play zone wrapping up 10 feet under the basket, we're going to wrap up the ball carrier in that area, which is to wrap up Stoudemire. But don't miss your defenders, your job won't be easy. ”

The elder Dunleavy did not wait for him to answer, and continued: "On the offensive end, we guarantee to fall into positional battles, play steadily, do not be lightly driven by the opponent, we must try our best to reduce the number of rounds in this game, this is the key!" ”

The Clippers laid out their tactics before the game, and the game time was approaching, and Dunleavy Sr. waved his players off.

The Suns have completed the home team's entrance ceremony, and Ji Guosha turned his head in a technical typhoon, and what he got was the crazy boos of 20,000 Phoenix fans at the "American Airlines Center", and the Suns fans cursed Ji Guosha that it was better to fall half to death by himself, so as to save them from doing it.

Still, among the nearly 20,000 fans, thousands of people cheered for the two brothers, all of whom were Chinese or overseas Chinese. Phoenix is a big city with a large number of Chinese living here, and many Chinese people have come to the scene today to support their compatriots.

In the United States, only Clippers fans and these Chinese support the two brothers, and they do not have the same crowd among fans of other teams as another rookie Durant. No matter how good the two brothers are on the road, they can't get the applause of the American fans, they get only endless boos, and occasionally they can hear two discriminatory insults such as yellow-skinned monkeys, which can sometimes be heard at home, it is Lakers fans who have mixed in.

Nash has always been the favorite star of the two brothers, and before the game, the two also fought over who exchanged jerseys with Nash after the game, and finally decided who had a good watch and who would exchange jerseys with Nash.

Before the game, Steve Nash took the initiative to greet the two brothers, who so far are of the same nationality and are likely to become teammates with the national team in the future.

In fact, the Canadian Basketball Association has been actively lobbying for the two to join the Canadian team, and Nash is one of them. The Sons of the Wind alone can't bring Canada to the Olympics, but with twin brothers to help them, it's a different story, with two great interior players and two MVPs, and maybe even a world powerhouse.

Suns starting lineup today: Steve Nash, Raja Bell, Grant Hill, Sean Mar Lyon, Stoudemire.

Phoenix doesn't have a qualified starting center at the moment, and only Stoudemire and Marion have both been promoted. The Suns are a roster that will be blown up when they encounter a team with a strong power forward or center, such as their biggest rivals in the West, the Rockets and Spurs.

In the past two years, facing the Rockets and Spurs, the Suns have not been dominant, especially in the playoffs, and the Spurs have almost become the bitter masters of the Suns.

The regular season is okay with this lineup, and a small lineup can maximize the Suns' offensive power, but if the Suns want to win the championship, they don't have a qualified center that will highlight the problem when they get to the playoffs. The Phoenix are aggressively seeking to trade a strong center, and for that the Suns are willing to trade any player other than Nash and Jr.

The Clippers started with Posey today, and Mobley is back in the sixth man position.

The elder Dunleavy lacked confidence in this game, this game was not in his winning plan, and he went with the flow.

This game was broadcast in China, and ** and ESPN were also broadcast, although it was not broadcast live in the United States, but the attention was not much worse than the live broadcast in the United States.

Opening jump ball, Ji Guoqiu vs Stoudemire.

Charles Barkley said before the opening jump shot: "He's been through two minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries, but he's getting stronger, he's Stoudemire, and today Panda is going to be a real All-Star insider, I mean the pinnacle kind."

Kenny Smith added: "Stoudemire is barely able to defend within 15 feet of the basket, his 18-foot jumper is accurate, his save zài is almost unreasonable, the rookie panda who is good at defense, will he let Stoudemire get 30+ today?"

Barkley became interested when he heard this: "Since the interest is high today, let's take a gamble, I don't think Stoudemire can get 25+." ”

"What's the stake?"

"Bring them coffee for a week."

"Deal!"

The players on the field were already standing, and Ji Guoqiu and Stoudemire stood in the center circle, ready to scramble for the ball.

Stoudemire underwent minimally invasive knee surgery in the 05-06 season, reimbursing one season. Minimally invasive knee surgery is the surgery that has the greatest impact on the player's bounce, but all players who have undergone this surgery have a significant reduction in their ability to bounce after surgery, such as Kenyon Martin, the opponent of Ji Guoyi in the last game, whose athletic ability has decreased significantly.

However, Xiaobawang is estimated to be too rebellious before the operation, coupled with his young age, his postoperative bounce ability is still among the best among interior players, but he can't do it if he wants to jump more than 100cm, in fact, his current bounce is similar to Ji Guoqiu's, more than 80cm.

The two jumped at the same time after the referee threw the basketball, and both the fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV were staring at the two of them for the ball at the moment, and they wanted to know if the injured Stoudemire was better than the bounce.

Ji Guoqiu used all his strength, the speed of the two was about the same, and the jumping height Ji Guoqiu was also not inferior to the opponent, his current bounce was close to 85cm, plus the advantage of arm span, Ji Guoqiu was the first to dial the basketball at the distance of the highest point ahead of the small half of a finger......

The Suns fans at the American Airlines Center all held their heads in their hands, and a sigh rang out in the stadium, although it was only the opening jump ball, but they looked as if they had been killed.

Charles Barkley laughed: "I knew there would be such a result, Stoudemire had a 106cm bounce at the peak of his body, but after the operation, his bounce dropped by almost 20%. ”

Kenny Smith said: "Although the bounce power has decreased, in the 05-06 season, Smalls practiced high jumpers during the injury period, and his mid-range shooting percentage has also improved significantly, in fact, his bounce is not low now, I think he is the strongest at this time." ”

Brevine Knight dribbled forward, and the Suns were man-to-man on the defensive end, as most NBA teams do.

As soon as Ji Guoqi came up, he ran around the bottom line, trying in vain to get rid of the difficult Marion and looking for an open shooting opportunity, Ji Guoqiu gave him a shot under the basket, and the former went out to receive the basketball.

Raga Bell changed to defend Ji Guosha, this guy has a very good set of throat locking skills, this kung fu is a high-power lethal weapon that Ji Guosha has always wanted to learn, but no one has taught him. As long as you learn it, you will have a secret weapon to deal with the 24th in the future.

Ji Guoyi took the ball with his back to the basket 10 feet away from the basket on the left wing, and Ragabel behind him was 196cm tall, he calculated the height difference between the two, it was dangerous to pick up soap, but the opponent couldn't interfere with himself when he turned around and shot.

Turning around and turning over for a jump shot, Ji Guoyi knew that someone from the other party would soon come to cover him, and this good opportunity could not be missed.

"Huh!"

Ji Guoyi hit this ball steadily, and the Clippers scored two points on the first offense of the opening game, making a good start for the next game.

After receiving the serve, Nash dribbles the ball forward at high speed, and the son of the wind is extremely fast, many people say that Nash's body is not good, and it is true in terms of confrontation ability, but in terms of speed, agility, coordination, ball sense and other equally important physical attributes, people are the top deposits.

Blavin's 178cm tiny man can barely follow Nash, and the Son of the Wind usually rarely takes advantage of opposing players in physical confrontations, and today is an exception, Blaven is not physically stronger than Nash.

Nash dribbled to the frontcourt, and before his teammates did not fall into position, he first took the basketball around the Clippers restricted area, and with a slight flick of his wrist after coming out, Stoudemire rushed into the interior to receive the basket, and then jumped heavily to the basket, which was to slam the dunk!

How could the two brothers make him so arrogant, one left and one right caught the little overlord, ready to give him a big hat to taste......
