NBA: The stars return to the peak, and the battle of the gods begins

Popovich called a timeout to adjust the defensive strategy.

He asked Bowen to defend Nash.

Frankly speaking, Nash is not a good coach, but he must be a good player.

In this game, whether Nash scored or organized, Popovich had a headache.

In order to effectively limit him, Popovich decided to let Bowen guard Nash and let Parker guard Booker instead.

Back from the timeout, Popovich did not see satisfactory results.

Nash can shoot suddenly, and he can also pass an unpredictable good shot.

Even if Bowen is a top perimeter defensive master, he can't lock Nash.

In this case, what Bowen has to do is to exhaust the opponent as much as possible, that is, to exhaust Nash's energy as much as possible.

Bowen's defensive strategy has not seen the effect yet, and the effect will not be highlighted until Nash's physical exertion is too large.

This is what Suns coach D'Antoni is most worried about. Nash is not a physical player like Kobe. His career average playing time is only 31.28 minutes.

But D'Antoni didn't dare to replace Nash easily. Nash dominated the Suns' offense and he could make the Suns players shine.

In order to save energy, Nash also deliberately reduced the speed of advancement, and he had to finish the last 2 minutes of the second quarter steadily.

2 minutes passed quickly.

With Nash scoring the last attack, halftime ended.

With a score of 82:78, the Suns led by 4 points.

During the intermission, Lin Nan watched other games.

There are currently three games in total. Except for this game, the other two are the Rockets' away visit to the Charlotte Hornets.

There is also a PK in the same city in Los Angeles, the Lakers vs. the Clippers at home.

Unlike the Spurs and the Suns, who were evenly matched and played so fiercely, the strength of the other two games was very different, and they all showed a one-sided trend.

火箭对阵黄蜂这场，目前比赛打到第三节1分08秒，火箭以107:67大比分领先黄蜂40分。

The biggest highlight of this game is the debut of the late star Moses Malone.

In order to pay tribute to this legend, Dayao took the initiative to give up the starting center position.

Moses Malone originally wanted to reject Dayao's kindness, but seeing that the other party was full of sincerity, Moses Malone did not refuse.

Then Dameng gave up the position to Dayao again, and the coach Van Gundy couldn't laugh or cry, because these big men didn't want to be the main force.

Although the game has already entered garbage time, it does not prevent Van Gundy from trying new tactics.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Lin Nan was shocked by Van Gundy's lineup.

He saw that Van Gundy actually had the three inside towers, and Dayao, Dameng, and Moses Malone were all on, plus Tracy McGrady and Drexler.

McGrady played the role of point guard in this lineup. After he brought the ball to the frontcourt, he threw it directly to Yao. The inside defense was completely disrupted, and Moses Malone scored the ball effortlessly.

The Hornets have a few short insiders Okafor, the monster Mashburn, and Elvis Gerald Wallace. The three of them simply cannot prevent the cooperation of the Rockets' three towers.

It is true to be physically strong, but the huge gap in height and wingspan cannot be made up by dynamic talent.

The Hornets' few remaining fans booed everywhere. They thought Van Gundy was deliberately humiliating the Hornets.

They have already led so much, and they also sent the main players.

Van Gundy stopped when it was suitable, and soon he replaced all the main players, and then replaced the substitute players to run out of garbage time.

Lin Nan paid attention to the Lakers game.

湖人打到第三节5分49秒，比分53:86，湖人暂时领先33分。

For the fans, the biggest highlight of this game is not Kobe, O'Neal, Magician
It wasn't the flying dunk of the white monster to Lifen, but the uncrowned king, Lord Baylor.

Lord Baylor played as a starter in this game.

This is for sure, Baylor is proud and arrogant. In the year when the Lakers won the championship, the team coach asked Baylor to serve as the team's substitute.

Lord Baylor was very unhappy, and he directly announced his retirement.

Later, in an interview with the media, Lord Baylor said he had no regrets.

But Lin Nan knew that Lord Baylor regretted that his chickens were all purple. On the day he resurrected Lord Baylor, Lord Baylor told Lin Nan frankly that if he persisted in that season, he would not be crownless for life.

Coach Vogel replaced Cobra Worthy with Baylor.

Lord Baylor did not disappoint Vogel. Judging from his performance on the court, Lord Baylor is more suitable to start the team than Worthy.

In the late 20s, Elgin Baylor was the league's number one flying man.

He is not only very capable of scoring, but also a master rebounder.

So far, Baylor has grabbed 17 rebounds in this game, ranking first in the game.

The score also reached 18 points.

No, Baylor just completed a dunk, and he already scored 20 points.

Not surprisingly, Vogel will let Baylor stay on the court until the opponent grabs the 20th rebound. After completing the double 20, Vogel will replace Baylor to rest.

The Clippers attacked, and the white monster's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Being so inhumanly beaten by his opponents in the same city made Griffin very uncomfortable and aggrieved.

In order to vent the anger in his heart, Griffin did not hesitate to risk injury and made a flying dunk that shocked the audience.

Paul George passed Griffin in seconds, and Griffin took a big step forward after receiving the ball, and then jumped up from the dry land.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was standing aside, jumped up to block the shot in a hurry, but was physically and mentally humiliated by Griffin.

Griffin put Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the shoulder and blasted the ball into the basket.

Kobe shook his head with a smile. It was really difficult for Griffin to dunk with such brutalism.

He doesn't have the upper body strength of Griffin.

Regarding Griffin's extremely insulting dunk, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, with a black face, yelled and protested. He believed that the other party had a foul during the dunk.

Although Griffin's dunk looked like an aerial maneuver, the referee still believed that the goal was valid.

The superstar whistle is correct, but it also depends on the situation. If it is so easy to blow it off, the referee is worried that his job will not be guaranteed.

After Lin Nan took charge of NBA operations this season, he has stricter control over referees than ever before.
