O'Neal Jr. jumped the ball and the game began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nash held the ball and played a block with O'Neal Jr., and a simple combination made the Lakers uncomfortable, Rashid switched to Nash, and he pulled away and passed the ball to O'Neal Jr. in the middle. O'Neal Jr. received the ball without pausing, and in the face of Mo Williams, he took advantage of his height advantage and hit a two-pointer steadily. 0 to 2.
O'Neal Jr. now replaces Chris Webber and is one of the league's four big forwards, because he has two championships and a Finals MVP, only Duncan dares to say that he is overpowered, and Nowitzki and Garnett have not as good a record as him. He is now a mature and capable of inside and out, averaging 24.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game in the new season, and is the Suns' leading scorer.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming also played blocking and dismantling, the Suns used a joint defense strategy, and Marion followed Yao Ming in the middle.
Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball to 45 degrees, attracted Hill's defense, passed the ball to Yao Ming in the middle, Yao Ming transferred the ball to the side Rashid, the defender on the right side was Nash, Rashid received the ball and shot a straight arm jumper, Nash couldn't block it at all.
D'Antoni couldn't make up for Nash's defensive weaknesses, and the joint defense was to limit the "drug combination", and Rashid had a clear advantage, but the three-point point was not particularly accurate, and he missed the basket with a slight interference.
O'Neal Jr. won the rebound, and the Suns immediately counterattacked. Nash quickly pushed forward to the frontcourt, and under the guidance of Mo Williams, he took a step forward from the free throw line to the left and gently sent the ball back with a pass from behind.
The pass was too hidden, and Mo Williams didn't even see what was going on, the ball was already out of his hand, Marion followed up with an empty cut, followed up with three steps, and relied on speed to get rid of Rashid and score easily. 0 to 4.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant went to the right three-point line with his back to ask for the ball, directly singled out Nash, Mo Williams passed the ball over, and the Suns knew that it was a weakness and did not change the defense.
In order to deal with the Lakers, D'Antoni took a lot of effort, Kobe Bryant's mid-to-long-range pull-out jumper and scored, and the key to winning was to defend the restricted area, and then fight with the Lakers to attack.
D'Antoni and members of the coaching staff watched a few previous Lakers games and came to a conclusion that the man-to-man defense is bound to die, the Lakers are inferior to the Suns in speed, and the organization is almost there, but their blocking and dismantling are the most powerful in the league.
Kobe Bryant's first shot didn't feel good, and the horns were wide of Nash.
O'Neal Jr. grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack, and Nash received the ball on the left side and dribbled to the middle. Marion got the opportunity to single out Yao Ming, lowered his center of gravity, rushed past Yao Ming with the ball like a wolf, and scored a quick layup.
Yao Ming worked very hard to retreat and defend, but he was still half a beat slower, Marion was too fast! 0 to 6.
Bryant went to the right to catch the ball and hit Nash, brought it to 45 degrees to attract Bell's bag, and the ball passed to Iguodala on the baseline. It was a great opportunity, but Iguodala missed an open three-pointer and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal Jr.
The four of the Suns went down quickly, running and counterattacking.
Nash dribbled the ball across the half, and when everyone thought he would pass, he suddenly grabbed a three-pointer on the left side. Kobe Bryant retreated too far back, trying to defend himself in position, but saw Nash jump up and pounce again to interfere with the shooting slowly, and the three-point hollow went into the net. 0 to 9.
CCTV5 broadcast this game live, and Chinese fans began to worry about the Lakers, the intensity of the Suns' offense exceeded imagination, and the cooperation was smooth.
"The Lakers' defense is too lax, they exposed this weakness in the previous game, and it will be difficult for them to win today if they don't limit the Suns' offense," Zhang said. ”
Yu Jia said: "This season is likely to be Nash and Kobe Bryant competing for MVP, Yang Rui has long praised Nash, but he does not plan to coach him, the reason is that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers." If Kobe Bryant wants to win the MVP for the first time in his career, four games against the Suns in the same district will be crucial. ”
Yang Rui didn't call a timeout, this was the time to test the star, and Kobe Bryant didn't disappoint him, he picked up Bell in the left corner position and hit a pull-up jumper. 2 to 9.
Yang Rui is not worried that the Lakers will not be able to score, in his previous life, Kobe Bryant's playoff career high 50 points were scored against the Suns. Although the Lakers have been eliminated by the Suns for two consecutive years, Kobe Bryant has repeatedly cut high scores, and it is common for Raga to blow up.
The most famous incident was in the fourth quarter of Game 5 of the 2006 playoffs Lakers vs Suns, where Bale took Kobe Bryant down with a "chokehold" move. Surprisingly, Bryant didn't get angry, but smiled when he got up, just patted the dust on his shoulders, as if to tell people that "the sun can only stop me in this way".
The Suns attacked, Nash and O'Neal Jr. played blocking and dismantling, holding the ball and walking on the right side to attract Yao Ming to change defense and distribute the ball to the middle. O'Neal Jr. held the ball and squeezed away Williams to get to the basket, jumped up with the ball and wanted to dunk with one hand.
The Lakers are not the only ones who can protect the frame, Rashid jumped on the side, pressed his left hand accurately on the basketball, blocked O'Neal Jr.'s dunk, Yao Ming retreated to get the basketball, and passed it to Kobe.
Kobe Bryant received the ball quickly, dribbled the ball with his left hand behind his back to his right hand when he leaned into Bell, and a big stride was successful, attracting Hill to make up for the defense and throwing the ball into the sky on the right side, Iguodala flew up, received the ball with both hands, volleyed the windmill, and smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand. 4 to 9.
Zhang Li exclaimed: "Beautiful, a performance that can play the best five balls, Iguodala's movements are not as elegant as Carter's, but he also jumps very high and is full of power." ”
Yu Jia smiled: "This is a player with great potential, and he may become the third leader of the team in the future." ”
The Suns attacked, Nash and O'Neal Jr. played blocking and pick-and-roll, and this tactic was tried and tested. Nash drew Rashid into a switch on the right and moved the ball wide to the left.
It's like he has eyes in his back, and as soon as Marion runs to the baseline, he passes the ball to him.
More than pass-conscious, Nash is the absolute top-notch, even the league's No. 1.
Yao Ming defended at the bottom line, hurriedly went out to interfere with the shot, Marion shook a little, changed direction with the ball and broke through, Yao Ming looked bad and pulled people to foul.
The throw-in was issued, Nash used the width of the court to pull away, protect the basketball, and waited for his teammates to run, and the ball was passed to O'Neal Jr., who ran 70 degrees to the left from the low post, and Yao Ming had to defend it.
Little O'Neill took the ball and shook the frame, broke through in the middle, passed Yao Ming in one step, took three quick steps, and scored with one hand. Iguodala made up for the basket and jumped a little slower than to cover it, and the two still had physical contact, and the referee blew Iguodala for a foul.
O'Neill Jr. also hit a free throw, 4-12.
At this time, Yang Rui decisively chose to make substitutions, Yao Ming and Mo Williams went down, and Odom and Jones appeared.
In fact, before the start of the game, Yang Rui expected that Yao Ming might be deflated, and he had to guard against the small-ball tactics. O'Neal Jr. has no dead spots in the middle of the shot, and the speed is faster than Boozer, which is the kind of interior line that Yao Ming hates the most.
The reason why Yang Rui let Yao Ming start is because he positioned Yao Ming's team as the core of the inside. Yao Ming can be replaced, but he can't often play as a substitute, which will give people the feeling that "he is really just brushing data".
He is now replacing Yao Ming in advance, not because Yao Ming's strength is not good, but because he intends to let Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant stagger the time, and lead the team to attack in the second quarter, which can play a more effective role.
The Suns have an obvious weakness, there are no good substitutes on the inside, and although they are strong in the starters, they do not have many hole cards.
