Chapter 276: Incredible Helper

"Chen, long time no see."

Walking into the court, Chen Mu and Daim Porter communicated a little bit, and after determining their respective offensive and defensive ranges, they heard Nash's voice.

"Steve, long time no see."

Nash, at the beginning of Chen Mu's career, once gave Chen Mu a lot of help.

In fact, not only Nash, except for Colangelo, all the players of the Suns have more or less given Chen Mu help and encouragement.

Even Colangelo, although he gave up Chen Mu afterwards, he also gave himself the opportunity to land in the NBA and show his ability, didn't he?

The Sun team is not only Chen Mu's old club, but also Chen Mu's benefactor gathering place.

"It's been a great season, Kyle, ha, I'm talking about Lowry, you're playing very well, you guys have a very sharp eye!" Nash laughed.

"That's, it's a lot better defense than you, haha!" Xiao Si appeared out of nowhere, laughing beside Nash.

"Defend against me? Excuse me? Nash slapped Xiao Si.

"Again, we'll blow you up." Chen Mu said with a smile.

"I'll return the words, in two and a half hours, we will destroy you in a whirlwind, and go to Los Angeles to prove yourself, haha!" Xiao Si laughed.

"Here we go." Chen Mu nodded.

"Here we go." Nash and Si nodded as well.

The game begins.

The basketball was thrown high, and Howard's bounce was a galaxy stronger than Durham Porter's, easily fighting for the ball for the team and the Suns attacking.

"It's on, it's on! Hahaha! The battle for the first place in the east and west has begun! Barkley couldn't help himself with excitement.

Nash dribbled forward, and after coming to the front court, he habitually reached out and said hello, and Xiao Si took a few steps forward and made a false cover.

It's no secret that the Suns' offense is mostly driven by the pick-and-rolls of Nash and Smalls. Fans all over the world know it. But in the doorway of cover, few people can tell why.

What is the difference between the cover of the sun and the cover of the jazz? The Jazz team Delon dribbled, Boozer did the blocking, what he did was a real blocking, Boozer's cover was very solid, and he would not give the opposing defenders the opportunity to chase around the pile, the purpose was to directly open up the space in front of Delon at once, giving the point guard more options for dribbling and passing.

Because the Jazz's offense is initiated by the running of all the players on the team, Delon and Boozer's pick-and-roll is just a starting shot, and then the pass is the target. It doesn't have to be Boozer, the guy who was "dismantled", anyone on the team could catch the ball at this moment.

But the Suns are different, Xiao Si's athleticism is far superior to Boozer, and Nash's ability to play the ball is also more superb than DeLong's, a false cover, as long as he can give Nash a starting space in an instant, how much to cover the defender's vision, Xiao Si's task is completed.

After that, Jr. went down and Nash either handed the ball to the ground or passed it from behind. There are 10,000 ways to send the ball to Xiao Si, who relies on BT's explosive power to hold the ball and jump directly, first throw himself into the air and then find a way to shoot, and an attack is just like that.

This fit is concise and straightforward. It seems so easy that anyone can imitate it. But the difficulty can only be experienced by those who really understand basketball.

The first is Small's explosiveness and one of the best in basketball in the world, and the second is Nash's unpredictable passing route. The third is a group of shooters who have the ability to shoot with one hand after the V-shaped position on the outside, and the crosshairs are quite terrifying. The three complement each other in order to exert the power of this most concise blocking attack, and none of them is indispensable.

And the Suns also relied on this hand-to-hand start. You can beat 80 percent of the teams in the league, and the remaining 20 percent, as long as the outside shooters feel better, they can easily take off.

Bypassing Xiao Si's blocking, Nash dribbled horizontally, and just wanted to pass the ball as easily as usual, but at the moment of the basketball shot, he found a dark shadow in front of him.

"Oops!"

Nash secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but the basketball had already shot, and it was too late to make amends.

"Smack!"

A crisp steal, the speed of the little man's figure is not too fast, but the action is steady and ruthless, without giving a trace of flaws. After the steal, he started with the momentum, his movements were smooth as if he was dancing a gorgeous dance, and the moment his right hand touched the basketball, he began to shoot far away, and the basketball flew past Nash in an arc, landing far on the floor, and then

Initiate!

Kyle Lowry was like a thunderbolt and fire, and in a flash of acceleration rushed past Nash, the son of the wind, the basketball bounced off the ground, and then flew up again, Lowry's speed kept up, his right hand slapped the ball again, and continued to slap, the ball accelerated at the same time, and disappeared directly from Nash's field of vision.

So fast!

Nash, once one of the fastest ball handlers in the league, is now over 30 years old, but he still has the confidence to compete with any player in terms of speed.

However, now, after his best blocking and dismantling cooperation, a little-known kid actually interrupted the ball from his hand so grandiosely, and then accelerated and disappeared in an instant.

Kyle Lowry, it seems to be even more terrifying than you imagined......!

Aggro!

Looking at the rest of the Philadelphia 76ers, the moment Lowry's steal was activated, they all started to rush to the frontcourt, and it is not difficult to judge from the route they ran and the distance between them that it was a premeditated and quick counterattack.

Did you expect this?

Nash was a little uncalm, turned around and tried to catch up, but he was a few positions behind, and it was already difficult to catch up with Lowry, but fortunately, Ragabel was fast enough to defend and the position was relatively backward, and he fell lightly on Lowry's side, and kept making entanglements.

"Bang bang...... Sou! ”

With a quick stop, a crotch dribble, and half of his body space, Kyle Lowry's eyes were still fixed on the basket, but in his hand was a behind-the-back pass.

On the weak side, Iguodala made a quick break, jumped directly after receiving the ball, and scored a fast-break dunk, and Howard was only a few steps away from completing the block behind him.

This kind of fast attack, the 76ers don't know how many times they practiced!

After receiving the baseline ball from Howard, Nash cautiously advanced while staring at Lowry not far in front of him, and his heart was suddenly full of emotion.

The whole world knows it. The 76ers' offense is relatively jerky, especially the lack of offensive points in positional battles, resulting in the team can only play the so-called team offense.

Team offense, sounds beautiful, but it also proves from another side that the team does not have a real offensive leader.

In this case, the role of the point guard is even more important, and what is the magic of this rather stocky, steel-like player in front of him, who can average 13 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 2.7 steals per game in the first ten games of the season. And what about a ten-game winning streak with the 76ers with such obvious flaws?

Press!

Nash was a little nervous, and Lowry, as if he had read his thoughts, suddenly began to press forward.

The strength is very good......!

Nash was not a player with great strength, and Lowry's pressing immediately made him a little struggling. The small steel cannon doesn't look amazing, but its strength is quite good, and the entanglement is very good. However, Nash is also an MVP player, and this level of entanglement will not make him mess up, and a few quick dribble movements will shake. Giving way to a bit of space, he finally dribbled past half court before the eight-second violation.

This kid has a lot of defensive energy!

Seeing that Lowry couldn't make a single blow, he immediately retreated half a step. Always keep your hands open in front of Nash, and there is nothing wrong with the defensive stance. However, due to the lack of explosiveness and speed, coupled with the fact that his height also suffers a little, Lowry's defense can only be described as "annoying" for a player of Nash's level. It's not enough of a "trouble".

But the more this kind of defense, the more alarming Nash became, for many years. Payton, Kidd, Billups...... How many good defenders have played against themselves, suffered losses, and taken advantage.

The defense of those who are good defenders is spent in high intensity throughout the game, and with all their respective advantages, it will make the opponent feel that there is a lot of "trouble" throughout the game.

And what about Lori? It is not obvious, and the defensive posture can only be said to be standard and passable, but as long as you are a little careful, there will not be any problems.

The annoying thing is that Lowry's defense is like this, which is between "good" and "good", so that you can't defend it, and you won't have to put too much effort into it.

When you gradually get used to the rhythm in the full-court confrontation and think that there will be no problems, Lowry begins to increase the intensity again, and a momentary increase in pressure may expose you to a fatal flaw. If he couldn't make a hit and couldn't complete the steal, Lowry was not greedy, and immediately retreated and returned to defending at a constant pace.

What can be said about this defensive style? It's like......

Marion.

For some reason, Nash's mind conjured up the figure of his former teammate who had just been sent away.

Sean Marion, in the years of the Suns, also defended the opponent's arrow characters in this way and made his own contributions.

It's just that Marion's physical fitness is historic, so the defensive effect will be much more conspicuous than Lowry.

In that case, it's really a difficult opponent......!

Nash thought so, and blocked and covered with Xiao Si again, and then glanced at it, and saw that Lowry really took half a step forward at this moment to block his passing route, and Nash, who was in his heart, started directly and made a three-point shot.

Chen, you've really found a great helper for yourself!

Hit it, turn around, and MVP Steve Nash underplayed a three-pointer to help the team regain the lead.

“DAMN……!”

Lori frowned and stomped his feet, and behind him, a pair of hands slapped him on the shoulder.

"If this can prevent him, what else will he win as MVP?"

Chen Mu glanced at Lowry with a smile and continued: "If we keep the pressure on the whole court and make him unable to play easily, we have a great chance of winning." As for his personal offense, let's pray he doesn't feel good! (To be continued......)

PS: The new season is so exciting!
