Billups took the ball to the right wing, and Nash was on the right wing. He decided to hit Nash himself, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Starting from the three-point line, he controls the ball with his right hand and protects the ball with his left hand, pushing forward inward over Nash, who has no ability to fight. Just when he is about to take a shot, Marion in the middle pounces from behind, implementing a regional assist defense.
"Bang!"
He took a hasty shot and failed to hit. Lao Wang protected the backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.
Lao Wang entered the paint area from the free throw line, and Ben tried his best to defend.
He leaned over and pressed hard against Lao Wang's lower back. He used all his strength to suck the breast, and he really resisted Lao Wang.
Ben's tonnage is at most 110 kilograms, which is 20 kilograms behind Lao Wang, but he is very short. His official height is 206 centimeters, but his actual height is only 203 centimeters, and that's shoe height. A naked height of 200 centimeters is pretty good.
However, because of his short size, his muscle content is very high, and his absolute strength quality is at the top, so in terms of strength, he should now be at the top of the league, no worse than Lao Wang, and even in terms of upper body strength, he is stronger than Lao Wang.
Lao Wang's strength is more about balance, especially the lower limb muscles, which are more developed than Da Ben.
After being held up in the next step from the free throw line, Lao Wang relied on Ben to get the ball. After the ball came in, he suddenly stepped forward.
"Oops!"
Feeling that all the power in front of him was suddenly in vain, Da Ben felt bad, but it was too late. He suddenly jumped forward and bumped into Lao Wang's back.
The next moment, Lao Wang took a step forward and successfully caught the ball. When Ben jumped on his back, he suddenly turned right, stepped forward, and dunked with the ball in his left hand.
Rasheed Wallace came in from the right midfielder to help defend. He stepped behind Ben and caught up with him, and immediately jumped to block the shot from the wing.
Unfortunately, Lao Wang dunked with the ball in his left hand. He was on the right side and couldn't block the shot at all.
"Bang!"
With a one-arm dunk, Lao Wang set the audience on fire.
Larry Brown couldn't stand it any longer and yelled filial piety from the sidelines: "Rashid, go straight back to the basket. Use your brain. I'm going to push him outside, so you can go straight back to the basket. Do you hear me?"
Glancing at the sidelines, Rasheed Wallace nodded.
"Troll, Larry Brown looks very kind! He's just a little irritable." Lao Wang joked.
"Pfft!"
The trolls laughed directly.
"Kobe, have you learned this move from Old K? It's the step forward." Magic Johnson asked on the sidelines.
"Of course I learned it."
Kobe nodded and replied: "This is the retreat method of the plum blossom step. You can retreat during defense, and you can also retreat forward during offense."
"Why haven't I seen you use it?" Magic Johnson asked.
Kobe shook his head and said: "The outside line is not suitable. It is impossible to defend the outside line as hard as the inside line. It cannot achieve the effect of retreat. The retreat from the outside line is more of a transfer of the offense.
Even if you are on the inside, you can only achieve the effect of evacuation if you defend with all your strength like Big Ben, and Lao K rarely uses it."
2:7, Pistons attack.
Prince ran on the left wing, and Hamilton continued to run around, running from the right wing to the left wing. The two moved at the same time, trying to break up the Suns' zone defense.
"brush!"
As Hamilton attracted Marion's defensive attention, Prince got an open space, received the pass and shot a three-pointer, hitting the ball.
5:7, Suns attack.
"Bang!"
Marion shot a three-pointer, both of them were apes. Prince missed the shot, but the former didn't make it either.
Under the basket, Lao Wang carried the card on his back and jumped at the same time as Rasheed Wallace to compete for the rebound.
"mine!"
With stronger bounce, he grabbed the rebound.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, he used a false stand to shake Daben and Hualaishi at the same time, and then did it twice
He took off and dunked Rasheed Wallace.
Zhang Lijia said with a smile: "Big Ben's rebounding skills were taught by Tie Jun himself, but he has no height, so he will definitely not be able to grab the rebounds. The troll's rebounding skills are average, he can't bounce well, and he can't grab Tie Jun's rebounds. Stoudemire's rebounds
The ball is also stronger than the trolls, and the Suns should be able to gain an advantage in rebounding today."
Su Qun smiled and said: "5:9, the Suns lead by 4 points. Old K is now 3 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist."
The Pistons attack, on the right wing, Rasheed Wallace uses Hamilton's pick-and-roll to get rid of Stoudemire and catches the ball and shoots a jumper one step inside the three-point line.
"careful!"
The moment he took action, he heard Big Ben's screams, and at the same time he saw Old K rushing out of the paint area, but the arrow was on the string, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take action.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
With two big steps, Lao Wang placed his foot one meter away from the right waist of the paint area. His huge body soared into the air, gliding two meters in the air. With his big hands, he fanned the ball thrown by the sprayer.
Up in the sky.
"Oh ho!"
Seeing Old K rushing from the basket to near the three-point line and making a big block, the Suns fans immediately cheered and cheered endlessly.
Lao Wang controlled the power of blocking the shot and only raised the ball without going out of bounds. Stoudemire grabbed the ball and quickly passed it to Marion who was about to leave in the middle. Then, including Lao Wang, the entire Suns team quickly passed.
"Zhizhizhi..."
Ten players from both teams rushed desperately towards the Suns' frontcourt, and the screeching sound of sneakers could be heard one after another.
Once the 130-kilogram Wang Tiejun charged, he was very terrifying. Like a heavy tank charging crazily, he rushed through the center line, passed the three-point line, and rushed from the left elbow into the paint area. Along the way, let alone
The Pistons, not even his teammates, dared to stand in front of him.
"Why so fast?"
Rashid Valais, who was chasing closely, could not keep up. When he saw Old K rushing to the left elbow area, he had no choice but to give up.
Ben, who returned to defense from the basket, also failed to keep up. His speed was not as fast as K's.
Marion took the lead to rush to the basket. Billups and Prince were both very fast and chased after him without forcing a shot. He knew that there must be teammates behind him, so he threw the ball to the basket without looking back.
He threw it from behind his head and then rushed out of the bottom line.
"Bang!"
The moment the ball was thrown into the sky, Lao Wang rushed in from the left elbow area, slowed down slightly, then flew up, caught the ball in the air, and dunked with one arm, and the basket roared.
"Oh ho!"
Huge cheers also broke out.
"The 130-kilogram heavy center plays fast breaks personally, and his speed can be compared to that of a small forward. Old K is now like O'Neal when he first entered the league. Once he is allowed to charge, he is like a charging chariot, unstoppable.
Ah!" Su Qun said excitedly.
"Now O'Neal has become a fat shark and can't rush up at all." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"Rashid, stop him from rushing down immediately, don't let him rush up, understand?" Larry Brown's roar rang out.
It's a pity that his roar couldn't reach the ears of the trolls. The cheers in the arena were so enthusiastic that they were drowned out as soon as he left his mouth.
5:11, Pistons attack.
Ben didn't have the ability to stretch the ball, so Lao Wang sat at the basket.
At this time, Billups broke through with the ball on the right wing, and Prince cut in from the weak side on the left wing. After receiving the pass from the former, he immediately took off and made a small throw.
"Crack!"
Reacting quickly, Lao Wang made a quick step, grabbed a flying block, and fanned the ball directly to the frontcourt.
In the cheers of the audience, all members of the Suns team quickly exited.
In the end, Nash was the fastest and caught the ball, then quickly passed it back to Marion who was coming down the middle, and the latter flew up.
"Don't even think about it!"
Billups blocked the shot from the wing.
"Bang!"
During a one-handed dunk, due to the blockage, the basket hit the basket and bounced out.
"Oh, it's a dunk!"
A live commentator exclaimed.
"And, old K!"
At this time, another on-site commentator shouted loudly.
"Bang!"
Lao Wang rushed into the paint area, grabbed the basketball in the air, landed again, dunked it hard with both hands, and blasted the ball into the basket.
"Oh ho!"
America West Arena once again burst into loud cheers.
Su Qun said excitedly: "The fast-break Suns have an advantage. Big Ben and Jet are both very fast, but they really can't keep up with Tiejun and Stoudemire. They are a little slow."
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "We have already played several fast breaks at the beginning, and the success rate is very high, but the Suns should stabilize next, play a few positional battles, slow down and control the rhythm."
Su Qun said: "It is now 5:13. The defense that the Pistons are proud of has completely failed, and their offense is inherently weak, so they cannot guard the Suns, and the score is quickly opened."
Nodding, Zhang Liyi said: "The Pistons rely on defense. If they can't guard it, they will lose. Today's offense of the Suns was firstly the Tiejun's offense, and secondly the fast break that shifted offense and defense. The Pistons were unable to guard against either of them."
, I didn’t play well offensively, so it’s not surprising that the score was widened.”
"Old K has already scored two goals. And both times, the Suns got the ball." Su Qun said with a smile.
The Pistons served and called a timeout.
"Defense! Defense, let me see your defense..." Larry Brown's roar sounded from the bench.
"Rashid, strengthen the double-teaming on old K. We have to double-team him in advance. Everyone else, listen to me, speed up your defense and don't let them easily get the open space."
"Everyone listen, when switching between offense and defense, we must stop Old K's fast serve. He is the Suns' fast break server. As long as we stop his fast serve, we can prevent their fast break."
"They play a three-and-two zone defense. We need to strengthen our breakthroughs, come out inside to pick and roll, and provide cover for the breakthroughs of our teammates on the outside."
Larry Brown made a series of filial piety, only talking about defense and not much about offense. He finally mentioned it.
At this time, the timeout time is up, the game restarts, and the Pistons serve from the center line.
Seeing Ben running towards the left wing three-point line, Lao Wang didn't follow and stayed at the left waist position.
At this time, Prince used Ben's pick-and-roll to get rid of Marion, and when he cut to the wing, Billups' ball arrived.
Lao Wang quickly took a step toward Prince, who made a sudden stop for a jumper and a mid-range two-pointer.
"brush!"
The water splashed and the two-pointer hit.
7:13, Suns attack.
This time there was no one under the basket and there was no quick release, so the Suns began to engage in positional warfare.
As Lao Wang entered the top of the arc, Ben came to the front, and Rasheed Wallace also approached the paint area. When he entered the paint area, Ben immediately defended with all his strength, and Rasheed Wallace immediately
Jump to your side and move forward to defend.
"Double-teamed ahead of time!" Su Qun shouted.
The next moment, Stoudemire cut in from the right wing, received a pass from Shi, and was about to take off for a dunk...
"squeak!"
The boss on top quickly moved down and blocked Xiao Si's body.
Stoudemire stopped at the right waist position, hesitated, and shot a jumper.
"Bang!"
The rhythm was gone, the ball missed, Ben turned around and grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Pistons attacked.
"Ouch, Stoudemire shouldn't have made the shot just now. Give it to Old K. Old K is right in front of the basket. Give him a dunk." Su Qun patted the table and said sadly.
"Haha, Stoudemire's passing awareness is average. His first instinct after getting the ball is to take action." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"Bang!"
Prince quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Marion was chasing him. He suddenly stopped outside the three-point line on the left wing and shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately he missed.
Joe Johnson rushed in from the center and grabbed the rebound. He turned around and saw that all three teammates had turned around. Old K asked for the ball at the top of the key and quickly passed it over.
.
Lao Wang caught the ball and turned around and glanced at it. Unfortunately, there was no good chance. The Pistons returned to defense very quickly, so they pressed the rhythm and started a positional battle.
When he came to the frontcourt, he did not go down low, but settled on the free throw line. With his left elbow on the base, he faced the right wing and asked for the ball outside.
Rashid Valais immediately rushed to his side and double-teamed him in advance.
This time, Stoudemire still cut in.
However, this time Nash failed to pass the ball in time. Stoudemire rushed to the basket, but seeing that there was no ball, he simply pulled to the left wing and set up a pick-and-roll for Marion.
Marion used the wall to get rid of Prince and started to cut inside.
This time, Billups failed to stop Nash's pass in time.
Marion received the ball and entered the paint area, and Ben blocked it in time. The former threw the ball upward, then stopped and slowed down.
When Ben was going down to defend, Lao Wang immediately rushed to the basket. As soon as Marion threw the ball, he immediately jumped up, caught the ball in the air, and smashed it.
"Bang!"
The basket suddenly rang loudly.
7:15, the Suns take the lead and the Pistons attack.
"Rashid, go down and make up the defense. Let me guard Old K. You must not let Old K get close to the basket..."
The early double-team failed to prevent Old K's attack. Larry Brown was furious and roared again.
Rasheed Wallace is a team-oriented player, and Larry Brown's coaching style in the Pistons is very suitable for him, but he just hates the old guy's filial piety and always criticizes others.
Although he is also a troll himself, he doesn't troll his teammates, only the referees, so he doesn't like Larry Brown's habit.
It was only half a quarter today, and he had already been sprayed by the old guy several times, which made him a little annoyed.
Fortunately, after Larry Brown sprayed, he changed the target and sprayed Billups, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Chauncy, can't you watch your man? He can pass the ball however he wants. If you can't guard him, get down here."
Billups nodded calmly while advancing with the ball.
"The old guy is quite fierce!"
Lao Wang glanced at Larry Brown. He was a little confused. When this old guy coached Philadelphia, he didn't seem to yell at Iverson very much. Has his style changed when he came to the Pistons?
In the next game, although Billups strengthened his defense against Nash, Nash was not a shooting guard. He was a point guard who mainly organized and passed the ball. He was faster than him and his pace was more flexible than him, although not as good as him.
He is strong, but whenever he gets close, Nash can avoid him in advance or move the ball, so the defensive effect is not very good. He cannot lock down the Suns' offense through his own defense.
After the first quarter, at 16:31, the Suns led by 15 points.
Larry Brown felt that the situation was very dangerous, his offense was weak, and Old K's defense was too strong. He sent three blocks and one steal in the first quarter, and ruined the team's breakthrough tactics several times. He only made jump shots from outside, with an average shooting rate.
Very few points are scored.
What's more serious is the defensive end, which allowed the Suns to score 31 points. This is an extremely failed defensive performance.
He thought about the regular season, when the Pistons and the Lakers played two games, winning one and losing one. In the game they won, Prince locked up Kobe, controlled the Lakers' strongest offensive point on the outside, and then used advance coverage.
The trap cut off the connection between O'Neal and his teammates, thus winning the game.
So, is it possible to replicate that game?
The Suns are different from the Lakers. The Lakers have Kobe Bryant on the outside and even the team's first offensive point, but the Suns don't.
Except for Old K, the other four main players of the Suns are very average in their shots. It is useless to lock down one point. So what should we do?
He started thinking about it.
There is no other way but to lock up Nash, thereby destroying the Suns' organizational function, and at the same time use early double-teaming to cut off the connection between K and others.
But Billups can't lock down Nash, so he can only switch defenses and let Prince guard Nash to see what the effect is.
Next, he began to arrange defensive tactics based on his own ideas.
