Chapter 81 Loss
Stoudemire's body was tense in the air, his muscles were bulging, and he held the ball with both hands and made a heavy slam dunk with both hands, ignoring the blocks of the two people, and still planning to dunk the slam dunk...
Ji Guohuo was the most humiliating. The first Xiao Si of 228 pounds was squeezed aside; Ji Guoqiu was not much better. He weighed only 233 pounds, and he was not the opponent of Xiao Si, who weighed 245 pounds. Before being knocked away, he could only stop the opponent's slam dunk at the cost of a foul...
When Stoudemire saw two big hands slapping at both sides at the same time, he finally closed his strength and chose to protect himself first. Naturally, the basketball did not get into the basket. Xiao Si was pulled and pulled from the air by the two of them.
After Ji Guoqiu landed, he kindly helped Stoudemire and the three of them all fell to the ground safely.
"beep!"
The referee blew the whistle in his mouth. The foul of this ball was obvious. The question is who the referee needs to consider it.
Stoudemire patted Ji Guochou on the shoulder, meaning that he would thank the other party for helping him.
Ji Guoqiu is now well-received among the league players. Any player who has played against him says that he is clean and can be called a gentleman on the court. Of course, the other one is just the opposite. No one of the players who has played against Ji Guomi said that he is good, small moves, trash talk, and the attack is black and ruthless...
Even the stars who have never fought with him have made enemies with him, such as the German chariot that was publicly called a soft-hearted person by Ji Guomo, and the Pan who mentioned sad things all wanted to teach this rookie a lesson.
The Clippers attacked, and Brevin handed the basketball to Artest and asked the latter to try to beat Gran Thiel.
Many people ignore Grant Hill's defensive ability. In fact, Hill's defensive ability may not be inferior to Bathir, and its strength is not bad. It can have a certain impact on the beast. With his superb defensive skills, Artest's attack ability cannot beat Hill's defense.
Artest failed to play two consecutive offensives, and the Clippers immediately changed the main attack candidate. The whole team began to provide unball cover for Ji Guomeng, helping him create shooting space.
Ji Guomeng was depressed and found that his teammates' cover could hardly stop Marion, who was inextricably linked with him. The other party seemed to have glued him on his body and completely stuck to him.
Looking at the other party's height, Ji Guomeng felt that it would be better to just play with him on his back.
Halfway through the first quarter, Ji Guomeng singled Marion three times on both wings, with three shots and one shot. Marion was not just a statement that he could defend against the first to the fifth position. Ji Guomeng's offensive contribution was better than nothing. On the contrary, Ji Guomeng hit the two consecutive hook-in-arms in the penalty area. Although Stoudemire scored 6 points, Ji Guomeng also scored 4 points. D'Antoni felt that they were still losing money off the court.
Stoudemire performed well on the offensive end today. In addition to making Ji Guocho a foul for the first time on the offensive 1V2, he also used his high-level breakthrough ability to break through twice in a row. Ji Guocho was able to shoot and break through, but it was really difficult to defend. He was able to face Duncan who averaged nearly 40 points in the playoffs. It is not yet possible for Ji Guocho to deal with it alone.
Old Dunleavy wanted to distract the two brothers from working together before the game, but the reality was cruel. They now have to defend Xiao Si together so that the little bully would not go wild. But even facing double-teams, Xiao Si could still get normal data, and it seems that he was thinking too much about assisting the defense.
Marion has been going out today, hoping to pull Ji Guohuo to the outside and create an opportunity for Xiao Si to fight Ji Guoqie one-on-one in the inside.
Ji Guoqiu was determined not to be fooled by this. He would rather let him use the outside horoscope to shoot three points than leave the inside easily. He was determined to help Ji Guoqiu restrict Studmeier.
The score was 10:13, and the Suns led by three points in the first quarter.
D'Antoni took the lead in calling a timeout. The bearded hoped to solve the team's inside defense problem. To put it bluntly, he wanted Stoudemire to concentrate more on the defensive end and not always defend with his eyes.
After the timeout, Ji Guoqiu easily received the basketball at a low post again. Stoudemire did not work hard to grab the position. Ji Guoqiu felt very little defensive pressure, which was a huge difference from facing Camby in the last game.
This time, facing Stoudemire's defense, Ji Guoqiu attracted double-teams from outside players, passed the ball without warning without warning, and sent the basketball to Ji Guomomi who suddenly inserted into the basket.
Ji Guomeng has used Artest's off-ball cover to temporarily get rid of Marion. After entering the inside, he did not encounter a player who made up for defense, because Stoudemire, who was supposed to make up for defense, did not move at all, and was still standing next to Ji Guochuo. It seemed that the guy hanging on the basket was not his opponent, so he was not under his control.
Old Dunleavy laughed on the sidelines. He had quickly changed his original arrangement for the timeout just now. His new tactic is to focus on the inside and play Ji Guocho, who has not strong attack ability. If Xiao Si's offense can be rated as A+, then the defense can only be rated as C in this game. Although Ji Guocho's attack ability is not strong, it is still okay to play C-level defense.
Ji Guomeng got his fourth point in this game with a slam dunk. The two brothers have already scored 8 points together, which is only 1 point less than the inside combination of Sir and Marion. They don't seem to suffer much.
D'Antoni pulled his fingers and calculated that the deal seemed to be lost. They hoped that Si would beat the Clippers twins before the game, instead of exploding with the two rookies!
Nash turned around and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc. The Feng Zi, who had been very low-key in this game, made a cold shot, turning the score into 12:16.
After the basketball fell into the basket, the Suns fans of the American Airlines Center immediately burst out with the biggest cheers since the beginning of the game. Even Stoudemire's 1v2 attack at the beginning, the cheers from the American Airlines Center were not as fierce as the three-pointers this time. This shows that the highest position in Suns fans' minds is the two MVPs.
The Son of Wind began to take the initiative to attack. The Clippers not only were they inferior to their opponents in the interior, but what was even more dangerous today was their point guard position, which was the life goal of the Clippers.
Since Nash had to take the initiative to attack, he naturally had to make more than just a three-pointer. After that, Nash chose to shoot more with pick-and-roll with Sir. His mid-range was extremely accurate, and he made continuous hits, but the Clippers did not dare to hit him, because Nash's shooting could turn into a pass at any time, or simply an aerial relay, which was hard to defend.
After Nash made three consecutive shots, he could only replace Black Parker with his hopes to use his height to limit Nash.
Nash claims to be the first player in the league to get the ball around. He can dribble in the opponent's inside line like a nobody, and can find a fatal blow in the opponent's heart at any time!
After Black Parker came on the court, he did have certain restrictions on Nash's shooting, but the Wind Son quickly chose to dribble and break through and entered the Clippers' inside line to find his own shooting and passing opportunities.
At 3 minutes and 50 seconds in the first quarter, Nash dribbled into the inside again, hitting the ball, not watching people passing the ball at once, and sent the basketball to Dior, who replaced Marion on the court.
Dior inserted into the inside from the weak side. The Frenchman was lazy at this time. Seeing that he had no defense, he chose to make a layup instead of a slam dunk, which made it easier.
Ji Guochou seemed to have eyes behind his head. He originally turned his back to Dior, but at this moment he instantly turned from the free throw line and rushed back to the basket. He used his excellent bounce back to serve, and reached out to press the basketball on the rebound.
"How did he see that, he should have his back to the basket?"
Stoudemire was the most puzzled by this goal. He had obviously pulled Ji Guoqiu outside, but the Chinese suddenly turned around and rushed to the basket, blocking Dior's layup that he was bound to win.
"Thank you, boss."
Ji Guomomiya was a little careless and was quickly removed from the French domestic line. Dior was outstanding in consciousness and had a high ball quotient. Although he was a little short, he was very difficult to deal with.
The score was 18:22, and the first quarter was about to end, and the Suns did not open the score.
Ji Guochou scored 6 points, Ji Guomomiya scored 5 points, and the two of them had already contributed 11 points before they finished the first quarter. The Suns' defensive poorness is not groundless. The pressure they both suffered unprecedentedly, but the offensive end was much easier than facing the Nuggets in the last game.
Old Dunleavy took advantage of the dead ball to replace the two brothers, and the Suns also replaced Nash and Sir, and the two teams entered the substitute battle.
The Suns use seven-player rotation, Nash, Barbosa, and Lagabele rotate the backcourt, Hill, Dior, and Marion rotate the forward line, Sir and Nakins get the center, this is D'Antoni's rotation lineup, and Xiaobian likes to use all-rounders, and players with all-round skills can get more playing time under his command.
The second tier of the Clippers is far from being a match for the Suns. Barbosa is more threatening than Nash in terms of impact ability. In addition, Laga Bell, Marion, Dior, and Nakins, there are no players above 210cm on the Suns. The highest is Nakins, who is only 205cm tall.
It was such a small lineup that beat the Clippers all over the ground in less than five minutes, and was almost taken away by the opponent.
The Clippers' substitute also has more offense than defense, and they choose to shoot outside more, which is in line with the rhythm of the Suns. As they play on both sides, they become attacking against attack and running against running. Old Dunleavy called two timeouts, but still couldn't let the team's substitute reduce the speed.
