130. Nash, the son of the wind, returns to Phoenix
The Lakers felt the power of this weird twins today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There was good news for the Lakers before the game started, Bledsoe couldn't play today, and the pressure on the Lakers' guard line was reduced a lot.
The Suns starters made changes as a result, becoming Dragic, PJ Tucker, Gerard Green, Markieff Morris, and Marcus Morris.
The Lakers' starters are Nash, McCollum, Liu Ren, Gasol, and Thackeray.
Before the game started, Liu Ren saw a No. 11 and a No. 13 Yimao with the same name and the same appearance, although he saw it once last month, he still felt too ridiculous.
The league's rule is that if a player on the same team has the same last name, the first letter of the first name must be added before the last name above the back number.
But the younger brother Marcus and the elder brother Markieff both start with M, with exactly the same back, no wonder Liu Ren feels strange.
In fact, if you look closely, there is still a little difference between the two, the younger brother Marcus is two centimeters shorter than the elder brother Markieff, which is probably the difference between a finger, and the difference can still be seen with a ruler.
"Beep"
The referee blows the whistle and throws the ball into the air.
Thackeray and his brother Big Morris jump ball!
Thackeray bounces averagely, and the Morris brothers are not very physical, and Morris Jr. plays center because he is a finger taller than Morris Jr.
So Thackeray miraculously won the jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first.
Nash pushes with the ball!
Back at Phoenix's home court, the fans erupted in loud cheers when they saw Nash take the ball.
Seeing the number 13 jersey everywhere in the center of the Skywalk, Nash was thrilled, but tried to calm himself.
In a stadium where he has dedicated his prime years, Nash doesn't want to disappoint.
Liu Ren habitually asked for the ball after Nash dribbled past half court, but Nash didn't give it, but made a gesture to block and dismantle.
Liu Ren was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood, this is Phoenix!
No matter what, he has to give face to his seniors, and Nash takes care of himself so much, often telling himself how to command his teammates who don't understand well, so Liu Ren has to give him face in front of Nash's "fellow villagers" and step forward to block Dragic.
For Nash, a South African-born Canadian, Phoenix is his second home, and his luxury villa in Phoenix has never been sold or given to his ex-wife, but he has kept it for himself to bring his daughter back occasionally in the offseason.
Liu Ren's strong power blocking and dismantling is very porcelain, so porcelain that Nash, who was angry with Howard last season, is very satisfied, and completely blocks Dragic.
Nash borrowed Liu Ren to block and dismantle into the three-point line, don't look at Nash is almost 40, his steps are still brisk, he shook off Gerald Green, who was past the defense, and suddenly rode to the left side of the free throw line to shoot an arrow.
When the fans saw Nash score, the whole stadium cheered, regardless of whether they were players from their own team or not.
Although Nash has been away from the Suns for more than a year, Phoenix fans still have a love for Nash compared to the brand new team that is not particularly strong.
The Suns expected this to happen, and the fans would definitely be more supportive of Nash, who they had already learned last season, so there was nothing too much of an objection.
The players will also treat themselves as themselves, they are more envious of Nash, and they also wonder if they will one day have such treatment as Nash, and there is a city named after themselves.
Morris Jr. picked up the ball and sent it to Dragic, and the Suns attacked.
Suns head coach Hornacek is a former Suns celebrity, and it's a bit wrong to say that the celebrity is a bad thing, he was terrible when he was a player, but the biggest credit to the Suns when he was a player was to exchange for a big-mouthed Barkley as a bargaining chip, so he was remembered by Phoenix fans.
Dragic faced Liu Ren and continued to dribble under his crotch to look for opportunities.
As the season progresses, Liu Ren's defense of individual offense-based outside players is getting better and better, Dragic is the standard point guard with the first score, and Westbrook is generally the same type, just look at his average of 21 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds per game.
Liu Renfang Dragic has already learned how to defend point guards, and now there are all this type of point guards in the league, and there are very few playmakers like Paul and James who pass first, and all outside players have the heart of a scoring guard, always thinking about scoring first, and the representative figures are led by Ross and Westbrook.
Liu Ren can defend Westbrook and he doesn't want it, let alone Dragic? The last time the two fought, Liu Ren prevented him from 10 in 2.
Seeing that he had no chance, Dragic asked Morris to come over to block the demolition, Liu Ren predicted accurately, took a step back, and then directly bypassed Morris to chase Dragic.
Although Liu Ren was delayed by Morris, he still caught up with Dragic.
But!
Just when Liu Ren was about to chase in front of Dragic, another Morris stood in front of Liu Ren.
"I'm Cao!"
Liu Ren couldn't help but scold.
The Suns use the usual two-block pick-and-roll, but other teams have no big problem using this routine, and the Suns often use it with unexpected results.
Anyone who sees a face that has just been left behind by them suddenly appears in front of them, they will be stunned.
Officially, because of this, Liu Ren forgot that he should block the reverse running route of the first blocker when he encountered a double block!
After Dragic burst to the inside, Thackeray made up for it in time, Dragic passed a high lob ball, and Morris, who Liu Ren made a mistake and did not stop it, rushed into the inside line to catch the dunk.
At this time, there was a burst of silver bell-like cheers from Changbian, which immediately attracted Liu Ren's attention.
I saw a young beauty of Indian origin cheering, this beauty is very different from ordinary Indians, it should be a mixture of Indian and white women, with a unique exotic atmosphere.
Liu Ren glanced at the fierce appearance of the Morris brothers, and then at the beauty, thinking that this beauty has such a strong taste?
Who knew that Liu Ren was discovered by that beauty at this glance, and then this beauty made a grimace at Liu Ren.
"Interesting!"
Liu Ren returned his attention to the game, picked up the ball and gave it to Nash.
Nash goes on the offensive! He wanted to play a few more when he was fit, and he didn't play in the last game against the Cavaliers, just for today's game.
Of course, Liu Ren continued to step forward to block and dismantle, and Gasol on the inside also directed McCollum to run, and then Gasol went to McCollum to block and dismantle without the ball, attracting the Suns' defensive attention to the weak side, so that the Suns' defensive position was broken, making the strong side of Nash's side become the weak side.
