Chapter 281: The Expected Eruption
"Brilliant first half!"
This sentence seems to have become the TOP5 favorite half-time discourse of all commentators, and even American counterparts are not exempt from vulgarity.
"Uh, the first half wasn't too exciting, was it?" Kenny Smith remained calm.
"Who said that? Tell me who said that? Tell him to come out and I'll kill him!" Barkley shouted, and then Gu Zi said: "Well, the first half of the game really can't be considered particularly exciting from a traditional point of view. The first quarter was not bad, the two sides continued to attack quickly, and the big opening and closing were very enjoyable, but the rhythm of the second quarter was slowed down by the 76ers. ”
"But Kenny, you're a professional footballer anyway, you can't see any of that?"
Smith didn't say much, lowered his head and sorted out the materials on the table, and his expression was summed up in two words, "Please speak".
"In the second section, the scene is really ordinary, but there are a lot of doorways and details inside, which is worth recalling! The 76ers brought the game into the rhythm they wanted, and the Suns were momentarily stunned, and the score in the second quarter was almost half of the first quarter. You can't just look at the screen and listen to us when the game is live, you have to give full play to your subjective initiative and analyze the situation well! ”
In the next five minutes, Barkley said a lot of things, and the theme idea was that the 76ers used a successful tactical setup to achieve their tactical intentions, and now the game has entered the situation that the 76ers want to achieve, and the Suns have a big problem.
“…… However, when I say this, it doesn't mean that the 76ers are sure to win, because the Suns have a clear advantage in overall strength, except that the two forwards are probably equal to the 76ers. The rest of the positions are all good advantages. In the first half, we said that the main reason why the Suns were stunned was that after the 76ers played a game of chess with the Suns in a friendly manner, they suddenly waved their hands and slapped them up, and the chessboard shouted, 'Play chess, play chess, let's fight!'" ’。 And then he made the sun stupid. ”
But the Suns' overall advantage is still there, whether it is Nash, Smalls, or Howard, even Hill and Bale, and Barbossa on the bench, they all have the ability to suddenly find their touch and start a wave of explosions. The Sun was stupid for a while after being slapped by the 76ers, and was pressed to the ground by the 76ers and beaten fatly, but this does not mean that the Sun has no power to fight back. Kenny. ”
Barkley said. Suddenly shouted Smith, who turned his head with an "um", and saw a big round slap in his field of vision.
"Smack!"
"You see, Kenny is the 76ers, and if you don't pay attention to the details if you think you have a chance to win, the Suns suddenly burst out, and the 76ers will also be confused."
“……”
Where would Kenny Smith not know about Barkley's little tricks, and this time it was a passionate commentary on the game. In fact, it is clear that it is a personal vendetta of the communiqué, and he wants to get back the slap he just slapped.
However, Fang Cai is indeed wrong. Barkley almost lifted the commentary table in anger after being fanned, and was slapped back by someone, but he had nothing to say, so he could only endure it with a gloomy face.
This dead fat man, what a grudge! You wait, and in a moment the 76ers will turn the tables again. If you get back your senses and have another wave of surprise counterattacks, I'll give you another one more time by starting from the beginning, and see what you do when the time comes......
"But we don't encourage this kind of behavior, so don't learn it."
Smith was still thinking about how to get revenge, but Barkley came up with such a sentence without a clue. Smith was stupid again, and after being stunned for a while, he said stupidly: "What kind of behavior?" ”
"That's what happened." "Smack! ”
In the world, perhaps only the two living treasures of T-N-T can give a good basketball game to the commentary into an unlimited and bottomless commentary table fighting show......
Half-time, away locker room.
"The tactics are basically done."
Cheeks opened his mouth with a compliment, but the expression on his face did not relax at all, his eyes scanned around, looking at the players who were excited to suppress the powerful Suns away from home, and continued: "But we must not let our guard down. ”
"The sun will erupt, sooner or later."
Cheeks' words calmed everyone down.
That's right, sooner or later, the sun will erupt.
In the forward position, Hill was not very comfortable being marked by Iguodala all over the court, and Howard was also difficult to go deep into the basket in the confrontation with Chen Mu, and there was not much athletic scoring except for the occasional secondary attack.
But so far, Nash and Smalls, the Suns' two banner men over the past few years, have played quite steadily.
At halftime, Nash had 9 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists, shooting 3-of-5 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, including three athletic scores, totaling seven points, all of which were scored in the opening stages.
After the start of the game, Nash regained control of the Suns' offense, Lowry's defensive effect began to weaken, MVP-level players, after adapting to the half, have long been familiar with Lowry's defensive habits and rhythm, and now they want to use Lowry's entanglement and containment to affect Nash's play, it is unlikely.
After scoring 7 points, Nash began to play his extraordinary court vision and passing ability, and sent assists one after another, under his control, although the Suns fell behind by double digits, the overall offense was not chaotic, but because the 76ers' defense was too aggressive, the rest of the Suns players did not feel good.
On Xiao Si's side, in the face of Dyham Porter's defense, it was basically to give what he wanted, shooting one after another, and breaking through the frame was also a sudden and accurate, and he had already scored 18 points and 4 rebounds in the half, and it seemed that the score was going for 30 points.
The Suns scored 47 points in the half, of which Xiao Si and Nash combined to contribute 27 points, scoring more than half of the team. If it weren't for the terrible hand of Bale, Hill, Howard and others, Philadelphia might not have been able to take the lead at halftime.
However, the 76ers are not ambiguous, Lowry has no stage fright in the face of MVP, and the ten-game winning streak at the beginning of the season has given the young man enough confidence, and now he is playing more and more smoothly on the court. 7 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in the half, and the performance was quite eye-catching.
In addition, Iguodala, Korver, Carney, Louis Williams, and even Milicic who came off the bench also scored and was quite efficient. Today's 76ers are completely all-in-one, and there is not much difference between the strength of the starters and the bench. Even in terms of the ability to score in chaotic battles, the bench lineup is even better.
Looking at the team's lineup configuration, starting Lowry, Korver, Iguodala, Chen Mu, Dareham Porter, substitutes Louis Williams, Willie Green, Carney, Evans, Milicic, whether it is because the starter is too weak or the bench is too strong, in short, the depth of the 76ers' bench is already the best in the league unconsciously.
In the previous ten consecutive wins, the 76ers were able to win consecutive games due to a considerable part of the credit. It's going to be down to this bunch of tough substitutes. This bench lineup has to score points, rebounds and rebounds, three-pointers and three-pointers, counterattacks and counterattacks, fast offense and fast breaks, and dunks and a flying master like Carney can shock the eyes of fans. It's just that the defense is a little worse, but the substitution, the problem is not very serious.
According to the statistics. In a ten-game winning streak, Philadelphia's bench was on the floor. The team ranks second in the league in net points, behind only the Lakers, who have Odom, Vujasic, Ariza, Jordan Farmar and others on the bench. In the connecting section of the game, it is no longer the weakness and loophole of the 76ers, but one of the strengths of the 76ers.
If you think about it, it's a little surprising that the Philadelphia 76ers have not always been weak starters. Substitute for a weaker underdog?
How is it that after only one season and the team hasn't made any big trades, the bench has suddenly become the best in the league?
At this time, if you carefully recall the two small trades made by the 76ers in the offseason, the ideas are clear and the selection is vicious. The precision of the team's lineup deployment is even more staggering.
However, everyone who watched the first half of the game knows that although the 76ers are all soldiers and the bench is dazzling, it is still the Chinese kid who is the real core and leader of the team.
With 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the half, Chen Mu's statistics look pretty good. But these data still can't fully show Chen Mu's role on the court.
The containment on the offensive end, the mid-range shooting and strategy that led Howard out of the restricted area, the endless rebounding scramble and the blocking of the defense everywhere, these things are difficult to see in the data, Chen Mu played very slippery, and created a lot of trouble for the Suns.
In addition, attentive fans also noticed that the Chinese kid, who has never had a bright performance in steals, actually made 2 steals in the half.
It's not a lot of stats, and two half-times isn't amazing, but ...... Chen Mu is an inside player! A big man, where does the steal come from?
Looking at the half-time replay, Chen Mu's two steals were all halfway balls in the process of the Suns' passing.
What's the deal with this insight?
The fans don't know the reason, and the experts are confused, but the book friends must know that this sudden steal is naturally inseparable from the reverse training camp opportunity that Chen Mu got because of the change of the business contract.
At half-time, the coaches of both sides set up their own tactics and the game resumed.
The 76ers attacked, and Chen Mu's step-back jumper began to break after four consecutive hits. Barkley can see off the court, the Suns and a bunch of stars naturally see it more real on the court, Chen Mu's backward jumper is still a half-finished product, and the previous consecutive goals are indeed a trick.
"When"
The backward jumper missed, Chen Mu couldn't quickly return to the basket to grab the rebound, Howard took off the rebound and sent it out, Nash dribbled quickly, and after coming to the front court, he turned into a magic back pass, and Grant Hill received the ball and dunked to score.
"Good shot!"
High-fived Nash, and the expression on the elegant Assassin Hill's face changed, and he instantly became murderous.
The Phoenix Suns are about to usher in an expected outbreak. (To be continued......)
PS: The new season is in full swing, who are you optimistic about?
