You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 153 Tragedy in 1 minute and 30 seconds
In the Lakers' preparation room, they were watching the Suns' game tape.

During the period, Phil Jackson will give some pointers at the right time.

Wesha pays more attention to Steve Nash's game, and it's just a story from last year to this year until he completes another version of "I want to make this team turn 360 degrees".

2004年的太阳一无所长：他们刚以29胜53负结束了一个赛季；他们的弗拉克·约翰逊教练和执教过意大利贝纳通的迈克·德安东尼都无力回天。他们的二年级长人斯塔德迈尔场均21分9篮板，肖恩·马里昂打满79场场均19分9篮板，三年级后卫乔·约翰逊找到了感觉场均17+5+5的数据，但都无法兑现为胜利。

The Suns implemented the SSOL—Seven Seconds Or Less—referred to as the seven-second fast break system. If it needs to be summed up, it is nothing more than two concepts: 7-second fast break and V-shaped offense.

Since last season, the Suns' initial positioning has been as follows: shooting guard and small forward near the three-point line in the corner, power forward (Marion or Diaw) or center (Stoudemire) in the high post and Nash pick-and-roll.Since the shooter opens the corner, Nash, Stoudemire or Marion always have a lot of room to move; and the opponent tries to double-team the three-point shooter who always misses the corner, so Nash or Diaw can easily split the ball.

Nash is the opener of this offense.The key to offense is two concepts: quick distribution and high pick-and-roll.

After years of honing in Dallas, few people on the planet know both moves better than Nash. In the 2004-05 season, under the impetus of Nash, the Suns won 62 games.Their tempo is the fastest in the league.They shot a record 2026 three-pointers in NBA history and made 796 rounds in NBA history.

They had it all: Coach of the Year, Manager of the Year, three All-Stars (Nash, Stoudemire, Marion);
Nash beat the Sharks to his last dominant season of his career, relying on his fabulous transformation of the Suns-who can believe that this turned out to be his first assists leader? ——Won the regular season MVP, which made the Sharks worry about it for more than ten years.

He even led the Suns all the way to the Western Conference Finals, where they lost to the season champion San Antonio Spurs.Although the whole world will pay attention to the miracle of Marion being blocked by Bowen and Stoudemire averaging 37 points in this series, it is rarely noticed that the main reason for the Suns' defeat is that Joe Johnson was injured in the Western Conference Semifinals against the Mavericks.

In the summer of 2005, the Suns encountered a big crisis: Stoudemire was immediately injured after signing for 5 million yuan for five years; Joe Johnson and Richardson were full of ambitions and left with big contracts.

This is the sun the Lakers are about to face.

One of the two best teams in the Western Conference last season is now a cripple.The main players either left or were reimbursed. Nash took Marion and the passers-by and passers-by brought up from the bench to enter the new season's competition.

Wei Xia thought Zen Master would let him defend Nash.

As a result, Phil Jackson said: "Wish, you will be the starter tonight."

The atmosphere in the preparation room suddenly became quiet, and everyone seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats.The teammates cast a slightly encouraging look at Wei Xia, but Wei Xia thought that things were not that simple.

Look at the look in Jackson's eyes, it's not "I like you very much, come on" look.

"I won't let you down."

If Wei Xia knew what Jackson expected of him, he should have added "trying" at the beginning of this sentence.

"Okay, this is the vigor I want to see." Jackson smiled and said to Wei Xia, "I need you to keep an eye on Sean Marion."

"Hiss hiss" Weaver made a gasping sound like a bat.

"Vaughn, are you uncomfortable?" Jackson locked on him instantly.

He would not allow a rookie to interrupt his arrangement at this time.

Weaver looked at Wei Xia sadly, "I'm just so happy for Wish."

"Thank you," Wei Xia played with a cold humor, "I have received your blessing."

Many people in the preparation room laughed out loud, it's hard for Wei Xia to still make them laugh now.From the moment Jackson said that Wei Xia and Marion would match up, they knew that their coach had no good intentions.

Last night, Bass Jr. just spoke to the media through his confidants. He let Wei Xia start the next day. On the surface, he followed the advice of the small boss, but letting Wei Xia face Marion, who is called a small forward and is actually a power forward, simply made him fly into the flames.

"Wish, are you sure?"

Walking out of the preparation room, Bynum asked face to face.

Nothing seemed wrong with Wei Xia, "I wish (Wish) I had."

"Everything will be fine." Bynum encouraged with a child's way.

Wei Xia had no other reaction other than rolling his eyes. During training, he asked Kobe for advice on how to play against Marion.Kobe just told him to protect himself from getting hurt.He doesn't understand, is Marion dirty?He hadn't heard of it.Then he understood.

Kobe asked him to protect himself, which has nothing to do with Marion's style of play.

That night, Wesha played for the first time at the Staples Center.

To cheer him on, Jim Buss personally brought people to the scene, and he also called Mitch Kupchak.

Since Kupchak used 1+2 draft picks to get the signing rights of the Blazers on draft night, his relationship with Buss Jr. has become closer.

Buzz Jr. discovers that Kupchak is not his enemy, Jackson and Jenny are.

"I didn't expect Phil to be so obedient this time, so I won't make things difficult for him!" Little Buss leaned proudly on the sofa in the suite.

He has already learned that Wei Xia has entered the starting list through the big screen at the scene.

"Maybe, Phil is a strange person, and his use of players is usually not affected by the outside world." Kupchak is almost telling Buss not to be too happy too early.

In the opening game, Kurt Thomas bounced off Chris Mihm.

The Lakers, who are used to losing the ball at the beginning, don't mind Mihm losing to Thomas, who is not as tall and as long as him. If they win, everyone will be surprised.

"Wish and Sean Marion are actually facing each other?" EPSN commentator Henry Gillen said in surprise.

Gillen sat next to NBA50 superstar Bill Walton.

Walton saw the Lakers' matchup distribution and said bluntly: "It seems that Coach Jackson wants to give Visa some challenges."

Marion's official weight is 100kg, which seems to be only 8kg more than Wecha.After contact, Wei Xia thought that his weight was much more than that.

The confrontation with him made Wei Xia re-experience the difficult years of playing power forward for the first time in college.

The Lakers' defense limited the Suns' seven-second offensive system well.

Their first attack took 3X7 seconds to attack.

For a total of 21 seconds, Nash passed Parker with a sudden change in rhythm, killing the restricted area.Although the opponent was the MVP of last season, Wei Xia privately thinks his style is very suitable for Zonda.If he were the coach, he wouldn't use himself to compete with Marion.

This feeling is like watching a science and education film with black silk, patiently waiting for the teacher's class to get into focus, but they took off the black silk.Isn't this a disappointment?

Nash rushed in, Wei Xia's awareness of defense made him give up Marion, and was planning to block his pass while blocking the breakthrough route.

Nash's pass penetrated his defense like the wind, and he hurried back to his position, but Marion hit a mid-range shot with a [-]-style shooting action.

2 is better than 0
Kobe opened up high, ready for singles.

The Zen master didn't like him like this.

I saw Kobe's excellent escape, plus a seasoned tentative step, even with a gorgeous dribble under the crotch, and finally a picturesque backward shot-a gorgeous iron, slid out of the basket.

The Suns' offense is surprisingly fast.

Nash made a long pass and chased for a three-pointer in the frontcourt, but missed.

The Lakers counterattacked, Wei Xia caught the ball and hit it to Mihm.Mim didn't seize the opportunity, and still missed the shot from close range.Nash continued to push the rhythm, let alone a 7-second offense, this offense took up to 5 seconds, because he made another chasing three-pointer.

Kobe chased back and received the defensive rebound, and Wei Xia, who had touched the ball once against Marion back and forth, was suddenly given up on the outside by the hacker.

After Kobe encountered double-teaming, he transferred the ball to Wecha.

Wei Xia, who was knocked out and had no touch, shot a three-pointer. The feel was wrong, and there was no possibility of hitting the ball.

boom!
Sure enough, fortunately, Wei Xia predicted that the shot would not be scored at the moment before the shot, so he chose the position, and when the rebound flew in his direction, he received the offensive rebound as quickly as possible.

As a result, Marion fought viciously and could not foul, and Raja Bell behind him was like the second African brother who was good at stealing buttocks, forcing Wei Xia to make a mistake.

"Damn it, did this gang think Wish was Kobe?" Buss Jr. growled.

Kupchak smiled calmly: "Do you still think Phil is very obedient?"

Bass Jr. doesn't know much about football. Hearing Kupchak's question, he touched his conscience and said: "Let's be realistic.. In the first minute, Wish really didn't play well."

"What would happen if the Suns let Steve Nash guard Kobe?" Kupchak was clear.

"what do you mean?"

"If Wish defends Sean Marion, such a result will happen. Maybe it will be different in the future, but now Wish, he is not suitable to play against Sean."

In just a few words, Wei Xia was fouled because of some small details in the process of getting stuck with Marion.

Before he could adapt to the intensity of the matchup with the Hackers, Jackson replaced him.

仅仅出战1分30秒，韦夏1投0中，得到1犯规和1失误。
