Chapter 210 The Hard-Won Lead

After tying the score, the Suns called a timeout. The head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni, had nothing to adjust. He was a second-round pick in his playing career, and after playing in obscurity for a few years, he went to Europe. , He became famous in one fell swoop in Europe, and won the title of "Gentleman Thief" in the European arena.

He also started his coaching career in Europe. After the great success of his parent team, Olympia Milano, Italy, he went to Benetton Treviso, which was also successful, and then brought the tactics he developed in Europe. Philosophy returned to America.

After a season of unsuccessful coaching career with the Denver Nuggets, he worked as a scout for the Spurs for a short time, then as an assistant coach for the Trail Blazers for a year, and finally came to the Philippines. The Nichols Suns gave Frank Johnson an assistant and successfully took over his coach.

However, at the beginning of the first year of junior high school, his coaching performance was not very good. It was not until Nash came to the Suns that his running and bombing style with almost no defense began to show his power. After all, he made Nash , or Nash made him, it is difficult to have a clear conclusion, but it is certain that the two people have made each other.

In the year when Nash was signed, the Suns' record increased from 29 wins to 62 wins, becoming an offensive team that everyone feared in the league. D'Antoni won the best coach award, and Nash won the best coach award. The laurels of the player's highest personal honor have also created Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson and others.

This shows that this combination is successful. Although during the offseason, the Suns made some operations, sending away or letting go of Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson and others, in exchange for Lagabel, Barbosa and others. People, another core of the team, Amare Stoudemire, was also injured and reimbursed for the entire season (he came back and played a few games in the middle), but the Suns still entered the forefront of the team in the playoffs. Inevitable, but mainly because the team's brain and soul are still there.

Nash is called a "data multiplier" and "value multiplier" by many people. Before that, who knew who Joe Johnson was, no matter who, as long as he was Nash's teammate, he could receive Nash's call from a comfortable position. Passing the ball, and because of the offensive style of the Suns, players can easily get good data.

And this style of play is relatively simple. Compared with ulca tactics, triangle offense, and Princeton style of play, this run-and-gun style of play has less strict requirements for ordinary players. Just go to Nash's pass.

Because of this, D'Antoni's job is very simple. In many tactical lessons, he only needs to communicate with Nash briefly. Nash will naturally direct his teammates to move and then complete the tactics. Because I can get more points than you, so I don't need any superb command art.

Having a smart and obedient point guard saves a head coach a lot of work, and that's what D'Antoni did, standing on the sidelines courtside in a suit with a perpetual mustache and yelling at Steve Nash. That's it.

You don't have to be like Van Gundy to prepare for the plan until your eyes are blackened, and the huge dark circles look like you have been beaten, and you don't need to stare at Tony Parker to prevent him from beating him all the time like Popovich. Phil Jackson closed his eyes and closed his eyes like that to play tricks.

So after he called a timeout, he just said a few words to the players gently, telling them to keep attacking unwaveringly. The Spurs cannot continue to score like this, because it is not a tactical style of play, and they all rely on personal ability to score explosively. He gave Marion a few words, told him to strengthen his defense, be optimistic about Stephen, and then let the players play.

Back on the court, Nash assisted Barbosa again and made a shot. Brent Barry couldn't keep up with Barbosa. Barbosa made two consecutive reverse runs. Brent Barry was too tired to run. Just as he was about to assist in the defense, Nash's pass was ahead of him and passed into Barbosa's hands. Stephen could only watch helplessly as Barbosa made a shot.

For role players who don’t have the ball in their hands, it’s not that they don’t have the chance to score, but that after they ran out of the chance to score, the ball couldn’t reach them. As long as you run for the Suns, once you run Don't worry about the ball failing to reach you when you have a chance. Nash has a 360-degree view of passing the ball without dead ends. At the same time, his passing skills can also ensure that every pass will be passed to you in the most comfortable way. Here, all you have to do is raise your hand and shoot.

Stephen looked at Barbosa enviously. If he could score so easily, Stephen wouldn't mind not having the ball in his hands. Running without the ball is easier and freer than running with the ball. I had this feeling when I worked with Chris Paul in the game. As long as you run out of opportunities, Chris Paul can pass the ball. No one in the Spurs has this ability.

This idea just passed by, Stephen didn't think about it too much, basically there was nothing possible, and he couldn't come to the Suns. The Suns have three tens of millions of players, Marion, Nash, Stad Meyer, and the Suns operate similarly to the Spurs. The luxury tax is the red line drawn by the boss and cannot be exceeded.

So Stephen wants to cooperate with Nash. Unless Stephen enters the All-Star Game, there is still a possibility of cooperation. He stood up straight, leaned against Marion with his back, and then reached out to Van Exel for the ball.

Van Exel knew what Stephen was going to do at a glance, and passed the ball over readily. Originally, he wanted to bully Nash, the best player for two consecutive years, to find pleasure from Nash. There are not many defenders who get the best player, except Nash is the flying man Jordan and "Magic" Johnson. There are not many such opportunities, but Stephen wants the ball, whether it is because of the relationship between the two people or the needs of the team , should be given.

Stephen turned his back and began to ask for a position at the basket. Although Marion was strong, he was still a little bit overwhelmed by Stephen's head-to-head style of play, so he had to keep backing up, but he was also ready to take off. You Even if you can get the position, you still have to make a shot in the end. As long as you dare to make a shot, no matter which direction you turn, I can cover it.

After Stephen felt the strength behind him relax, he also thought of what Marion was up to. Marion's bounce and wingspan were still a bit threatening, and Stephen didn't dare to make a shot easily. When Stephen tilted his head, he saw the backboard. It was on the edge, and after estimating the position away from the basket in his mind, he suddenly turned around halfway, stretched out his long arms to support Marion, and hooked the board into the basket with the other hand.

A hook is not easy for a small player, let alone a hook. After seeing such a goal, many people suspect that Stephen made it blindly. Of course, Stephen definitely doesn’t think so. Today’s I don't know why it feels so good. In the past, Stephen would not have dared to use such an offensive method, but today Stephen dared to try it.

The Suns’ offense fell behind again. This time James Jones missed an open shot, and he was only a meter away from the basket. After Robert Horry grabbed the rebound, he directly launched a long pass to Van Exel , Van Exel made another long pass to Stephen who was running.

At this time, the only defensive player in front of Stephen was Nash. Stephen rushed towards Nash. His slightly clumsy dribble seemed a bit staggered, but the momentum was amazing. Many people doubted whether Stephen would directly Knocked him out of the court, but Nash stood there bravely, facing Stephen head-on and puffed out his chest.

He stood outside the reasonable collision zone, and at the same time, his feet were extremely stable. If Stephen rushed over like this, even if it was the home court, he would probably be sentenced to an offensive foul. You must know that he is the two-time best player winner, and Stephen is A best rookie, the referee is likely to give Nash face, and will not consider that Stephen is a home player.

So just when everyone thought that Stephen was going to rush forward recklessly, the Suns players and fans couldn't bear to watch anymore, but Stephen suddenly stopped and changed direction, rushing over from Nash's side. It deviated a little from the basket, but Stephen threw the ball backhand very easily, and still threw the ball into the basket.

The Spurs took the lead, and this was the first time the Spurs took the lead after being led by the Suns at the beginning of the first quarter. Stephen scored [-] points in this wave of offense and also sent out two assists. The Wave Spurs scored sixteen points, all directly or indirectly from Stephen.

After Nash dribbled the ball, he went straight into the three-point line without stopping. Van Exel couldn't catch up with him after one step. Robert Horry hurried over to defend, and Nash made an emergency stop in front of him. The jumper scored two points and once again tied the score.

But after coming back, Stephen assisted Brent Barry to hit a three-pointer again. D'Antoni thought about replacing James Jones with Lagabell, and wanted to use Lagabel's defensive ability to stabilize the situation for the team. Lagabel's offensive ability is no worse than James Jones.

However, his adjustment did not have any effect. Although Nash went out again and scored two points, after he came back, Stephen made a shot from outside the three-point line. Although the ball missed, Stephen grabbed the rebound and shot again. In this time.

By the end of the first half, Stephen had already scored 59 points, 52 assists and [-] rebounds in a single quarter, helping the team lead [-]-[-] by [-] points and entered the intermission. The Spurs fans on the scene were desperate cheered and shouted, celebrating this hard-won lead.
