Chapter 690: G2 III
In the halftime lounge, the Warriors' locker room had a more solemn atmosphere.
Losing so many points at halftime, everyone's heart was not very comfortable, Yang Di, as the core of the team, the signature figure, and the leader, didn't want to speak, and his expression was more depressed.
Montgomery clapped his hands to boost the morale of the players.
At the same time, he began to explain some of the problems that the Warriors encountered in the first half on the tactical board.
"The Suns' wing offense was more successful tonight, Sean Marion has been looking for cover to cut into the air, and Nash's pass at the top of the arc can be tucked directly into his hands, which is the best way to directly attack our hinterland after Youngdy is transferred from the interior, and Tyson has a big test of helping defense."
Tyson Chandler nodded, he didn't even know how many times he played against Marion in the first half.
"But the good news is that Tyson's foul count was well controlled today." Montgomery said with a shrug.
Everyone laughed, which can be regarded as relieving some of the solemn atmosphere.
"It's the same as the Spurs, but their tactical intent is more clear, through the threat of Nash's arc blocking, moving away from Youngdy, and then using Nash's connection with the flanks to directly attack our restricted area."
"We have to step up our defense of Nash's point of possession and keep an eye on the Suns' wingers who are constantly pulling the line, including Sean Marion and Barbosa 'the Brazilian Lightning'. ”
Montgomery finally made a summary, the players in the locker room applauded, some tactics on the field, the players themselves can't see it, but after the coach said it, the players suddenly realized, some of the things they want to do in the second half are more clear.
In the midfield, the Meixi Stadium is still very lively.
The Phoenix Suns invited some singers, acrobatic teams, hip-hop dance teams, etc. to perform at halftime, and in 15 minutes, exactly two or three programs, fans can watch the next more thrilling and tense second half before they have finished enjoying the program.
"Toot ~"
A whistle blew and the second half began.
The opening jump ball didn't win, and the Warriors took the lead in attacking, and the home fans, under the mobilization of the DJ, frantically shouted the slogan "Defend, defend".
Fisher beckoned Yang Di to come out to block the demolition, and Yang Di suddenly went down after pretending to block and dismantle.
Stoudemire chased Jandy inside, Fisher didn't pass the ball and moved to the right to Ray Allen, who came out of his pocket, and Ray Allen was a three-threat probe.
Probe isn't much of Ray Allen's offensive options, but the occasional use is still very effective.
Raga Bell shook to the left, Ray Allen broke through in reverse, and the Suns' defense suddenly had some problems.
Yang Di rose into the air, his body spread like a giant bow, Thomas gave up his defense, and watched Yang Di bomber like a bomber, smashing the frame with one hand with his right hand.
"Good shot!"
Yang Di and Ray Allen high-fived, and the two played the whole game until now, which can be regarded as the first time to play a perfect match.
The Suns didn't care at all, Nash picked up the basketball and served the baseline ball, Stoudemire returned the ball to Nash, and Nash immediately ran and dribbled forward.
In the last two years, Nash has been nicknamed "Son of the Wind", describing his current style of play with the Suns, running almost all over the court, either dribbling to advance or pulling the defense without the ball to find offensive space.
Nash didn't choose to command at the top of the arc and instead gave the ball to Raja Bale.
Bale held the ball steadily and unhurriedly hoisted it to Stoudemire, who asked for the ball in the low post.
Yang Di, who was defending behind him, was overjoyed, stepped forward to resist Xiao Si, and reached out to interfere with Xiao Si's receiving and dribbling, Xiao Si didn't dare to put the ball down and dribble, and after holding it high, he observed the situation on the field and gave it to Nash.
Nash shook his way and forced Fisher on the right side of the ball.
Fisher was given by Nash at once, reached out and grabbed Nash's clothes, and was whistled for a foul.
Montgomery narrowed his eyes, rubbed his jaw, ready to switch to Monta-Ellis, and sighed inwardly that one day the defense would have to rely on this unreliable sophomore.
Nash was very difficult to defend and his breakthrough was overlooked under his top-notch passes.
In fact, Nash's tri-threat breakthrough combined with his shooting is very difficult to defend, and sometimes he is good at finding big man cover, and even if the defender can keep up with him, he will still be blocked by the big man, and then the big man who changes the guard will be played by Nash's dexterity and speed.
Fortunately, the Warriors often change defenses with Yang Di, Yang Di's speed is not inferior to that of guards, and his reflexes are super strong, and Nash encounters a lot of defensive pressure.
So far in this round of the series, Xiao Si's scoring has relied on Nash's feeding, and when he singled out Yang Di, he has not succeeded in scoring once.
After Nash broke through this time, he passed the ball back to Xiao Si, who held his breath and went inside, facing Tyson Chandler and wanted to dunk.
He leaped high and turned into a tomahawk with one hand in the air, his body tilting slightly.
Yang Di slapped the horse sideways and arrived, his right hand pressed the basketball exposed by Xiao Si with one hand, and changed the direction under the force, his big hand grabbed the basket, but the basketball directly changed the trajectory and direction, and bounced off the rebound.
"Toot ~"
A whistle blew, but Yang Di was whistled for a defensive foul by the referee.
"Even, no! It's a good hat! Yang Di waved his hand, with a look of surprise and disbelief on his face, looking at the referee and glaring at him.
"It's definitely a good hat, you can watch the replay, I didn't even touch his fingers." Yang Di chased after the referee who blew the whistle.
Montgomery, who was on the sidelines, jumped three meters high and yelled dissatisfiedly: "You also blow fouls? Then you just let the sun win! ”
The referee originally wanted to tell Yang Di that he saw it very clearly, and he didn't need to tell anything, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Montgomery who was jumping and roaring, and immediately burst out of anger, staring round, "Dududu" blew angrily a few times, pointed at Montgomery, put the palm of his left hand downward, and spread the palm of his right hand vertically with the palm of his left palm, forming the letter "T", which directly blew him a technical foul.
"What?"
Montgomery is really angry now, angrily scolding the referee for being a stupid hat, Ron Adams and several other assistant coaches came up and quickly pulled away the rampaging Montgomery.
Yang Di originally wanted to discuss something with the referee, but when he saw that the referee was so fierce, he was also a little cowardly, and ran away in a gloomy manner.
The Suns' home fans applauded, and when the camera switched to Montgomery's face, everyone laughed and smiled proudly.
Nash walked to halfcourt, no one grabbed the rebound, and he made a technical foul on his own.
D'Antoni shook his head and said to his first assistant coach, Erwin Gentry, "Montgomery is a little panicked, isn't he?" Is such a foul worth risking such a fire? ”
Gentry shrugged, "Maybe he has something different?" ”
