At the end of the timeout, the Suns fielded the opening starters, Nash, Bell, Hill, Marion, O'Neal Jr. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as D'Antoni saw that the Lakers didn't play point guard, he knew what Yang Rui was playing, but he couldn't make corresponding adjustments and didn't dare to replace Nash.

Without Nash's Suns, the offense would be much worse, and he couldn't afford to risk it.

The Suns don't need Nash to score a lot of points, but when the Suns are dumb overall, Nash can also step up and shoot key shots, and his playmaking skills are essential for the team.

The game started, and Bryant received the ball in the middle to observe the situation and wait for his teammates to pull away.

The Suns have a mixed defense, with Bell and Kobe Bryant, and other positions in the defense.

Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball under his crotch and walked to the left side, Odom pulled out of the low post and ran to the middle to attract the defense, Rashid was still 70 degrees on the right side, and the other two were on the bottom line, multiple misplacements on the court, and Hill, who was closest to him, did not dare to let go of Odom in the middle to wrap up.

Kobe Bryant brought it to 45 degrees, leaned his back against Bell, and wanted to attract O'Neal Jr. to the baseline, and Ariza could easily score as long as he cut and received the ball.

Little O'Neill didn't have a clip, he played 40 minutes, and he had no strength to prevent breakthroughs, so he could only rely on his height and arm span to defend the penalty area.

Kobe Bryant determined the defensive intensity, turned to the middle and threw a backward jumper, closer to the basket, Bell could only try his best to close his eyes, but he couldn't cover it, and the ball went in! 116 to 116 draw.

Zhang Li said loudly: "Beautiful! Kobe Bryant scored 36 points, he dared to shoot at the critical moment, really in! ”

Yu Jia said: "At the critical moment, Yang Rui did not arrange for a point guard to play, nor did he send a three-point shooter, and the offense was handed over to Kobe Bryant to play alone, I think this is to strengthen the defense and see if this round can be prevented." ”

Bryant defended Nash, kept his distance and gave his full attention.

No one in the NBA dares to underestimate Nash, and Yang Rui's arrangement of Kobe Bryant's main defense is also a deliberate decision.

The NBA has a "50-40-90 Club," which means players who shoot at least 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range, and at least 90 percent from the free-throw line throughout the season. This club has shown an all-around projection ability that is the ultimate goal for all goalscorers.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Nash was selected for the 50-40-90 club four times, the first in history.

O'Neal Jr. pulled to the middle and played with Nash to block and dismantle, Nash broke through on the right, Rashid changed defense, Nash divided the ball into the middle, and Kobe Bryant defended O'Neal Jr. closely, not giving an inch.

O'Neal Jr. didn't have the strength to eat hard with his body, so he could only turn around and shoot, Kobe Bryant disrupted his rhythm with small movements behind him, and O'Neal Jr. lacked confidence and chose to pass the ball again.

Nash ran to the left to catch the ball, and Rashid followed, keeping his distance. Nash gave the ball to Hill, who was guarded close by Iguodala and couldn't break through to pass the ball.

D'Antoni's request was to ensure the success rate of the offense, but after the rhythm slowed down, the Suns couldn't create a gap, and they ran out of 24 seconds, O'Neal Jr. missed Kobe's jumper, Odom grabbed the rebound, and passed it to Kobe Bryant to counterattack.

Bryant quickly advanced to the front court and passed to Ariza, and when he counterattacked, it turned into Ariza facing Nash, and he received the ball comfortably and took three steps to take advantage of the situation. Nash couldn't stop it and fouled Ariza.

Ariza relied on her defensive talent to get a chance to play at a crucial moment, was a little nervous, and missed the first free throw. He also used a little less force on his second free throw, and the ball bounced twice on the basket and luckily climbed in. 117 to 116.

The Suns attacked, Nash broke through with the ball, was caught near the penalty area, and distributed the ball from the perimeter.

Marion received the ball on the left baseline, Kobe Bryant let go of O'Neal Jr.'s defense, Marion saw that the shooting opportunity was not good, and it was distributed to O'Neal Jr. in the middle.

The Suns players were very selfless, the offense played very reasonably, O'Neal Jr. received the ball and shot, Rashid saved in time, the defense interfered with the shot, the ball missed again, and the rebound was grabbed by Odom.

After landing, Odom passed to Iguodala, who held the ball quickly and looked down to Bale's defense, and held the pass to his teammate who followed.

Yang Rui dared to reuse Ariza and Iguodala at the last moment, which is related to their personalities, as soon as they enter the alliance, they are very stable, do not grab credit, and will not mess around.

Odom's central playmaking, ball protection and other teammates running positions were distributed to Rashid on the right side, not Kobe Bryant, who was heavily defended by Marion.

This is an extremely crucial pass, Odom has an idea, he went against Yang Rui's previous arrangement of passing to Kobe Bryant's singles, but the choice was very correct.

Rashid faced Nash on the right and was very well prepared, catching the ball and making a jumper, Nash could only reach his chin when he jumped with all his might, and the ball curled well and hollowed into the net. 120 to 116.

With one minute remaining, the Suns trailed by four points and D'Antoni called a timeout.

In order to better open up the space, D'Antoni replaced Jim Jackson and replaced Hill.

Yang Rui did not make substitutions, Yao Ming continued to sit on the bench, and Chinese fans were a little disappointed by this, but they had to admit that it was not a good idea to deal with a fast-paced, outside-based team like the Suns.

The Suns players kept blocking and running, and the Lakers players changed their defenses very quickly and did not lose their positions, and it took 20 seconds for Jackson, who had just come on the court, to be seriously interfered with in the face of Iguodala's jumper, and the ball was deflected out of the basket.

O'Neal Jr. failed to grab the rebound in the front court, Rashid pulled the ball out of the box with one hand, and Ariza picked up the rebound and passed it to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant went down quickly, holding the ball and carrying Nash to the inside, attracting Bell to the bag.

No, no, Kobe Bryant's advantage in single-handing Nash is too obvious. Nash is a misplaced anti-swing man, and after being hit, it is like a small boat of friendship, which will capsize.

Kobe Bryant didn't make a mistake at the critical moment, remembering that Yang Rui said that he attracted the bag to share the ball, and gave it to Iguodala in the bottom right corner in time.

The bottom corner on the right side is Iguodala's main training position, there is a certain certainty, the team is 4 points ahead, he has no psychological pressure, he took a shot after aiming, and the ball went in! 123 to 116.

This three-point point directly discouraged the Suns players.

In the next round, the Suns players could only continue to bet on three points, and Nash took a step sideways after blocking and dismantling, making a hasty shot, which was deflected by Rashid's interference, and the rebound was again obtained by Odom.

Time was running out, and the Suns could only use foul tactics, and Odom hit one of two free throws. 124 to 116.

Another weakness of the Suns also showed itself, their positional battle scoring efficiency was not as good as running and shooting, and after the players' physical strength decreased, the offensive firepower decreased.

Compared with the ability to go heads-up, the core Nash and O'Neal Jr. are not as good as Kobe.

Jackson faced Iguodala again with a strong three-point shot missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Rashid, and the Suns did not use foul tactics again, even if they hit three points in a row, the 8-point gap could not catch up.

Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "During this time, the Lakers lost two points on free throws, and still locked up the win, this is a key victory, both for Kobe Bryant and Yang Rui, as long as the Lakers get the best record in the West, they will be closer to the MVP and the best coach award." ”

Yu Jia smiled: "I think Yang Rui will set a new record, who will this award not give to him?" ”

This is an era of "the winner is the king, the loser is the villain", as long as Yang Rui crushes other coaches in terms of performance, and the league does not give him the award, it is shady.

People look at the outcome, not the process. Only those who succeed can attract everyone's attention, and public opinion will applaud them; If he doesn't win, like D'Antoni, the media will only look for his shortcomings.

After this game, there will definitely be someone Hade Anthony, who wants to catch up with Yang Rui in terms of popularity, evaluation, etc., and it is almost impossible.
