Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 302 Battle against the Sun
This season, the Suns still maintained a high offensive efficiency. The team averaged 109 points per game, ranking first in the league.

Although this scoring efficiency is still a little bit behind their impressive 111 points per game last season.

But you must know that the Suns have lost Joe Johnson and reimbursed Stoudemire one after another this season.

It is really not easy for the Suns to maintain such an offensive level in the case of losing two generals.

In addition, Nash scored the best data of his career this season, averaging 19 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists per game in a double-double.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that those media and journalists are still willing to continue to vote for Nash in the MVP vote.

"It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Suns still maintain an efficient overall offense.

However, in terms of defense and key ball ability at critical moments, there has been a significant decline.

This is the cost of losing Joe Johnson and Stoudemire! "

Zhao Hao couldn't help shaking his head.

Compared with last season, the overall strength of the Suns this season has declined significantly.

They can still maintain the No. [-] position in the West, which is really not easy.

And Nash's role as the team's engine in it is even more creditable.

However, after the All-Star Game, all teams in the league began to exert their strength, especially the Spurs and Mavericks, who had been chasing the Suns, even catching up.

Just for now, the Cavaliers have surpassed the Suns and become the number one in the league.

The difference between the Spurs and the Mavericks and the Suns is also one game and two games respectively.

If nothing else, it's only a matter of time before it goes beyond!
In addition, the Lakers this season still maintain a high fighting state.

Kobe has surpassed Iverson and has become the latest scoring leader in the league.

Now those teams in the West are also preparing for the playoffs, adjusting their records and selecting teams.

But without exception, they are trying to avoid the Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, these three strong teams.

The Suns, on the contrary, have become the team that all teams are willing to meet in the playoffs.

Because they have no defense at all!
The playoffs last season also proved that the Suns are really not a strong team in the playoffs.

Even the Lakers outperformed the Spurs in the playoffs!
At this time, the game begins!
The Suns' lineup is point guard Nash, shooting guard Lagabel, small forward Sean Marion, and power forward Boris Dior.

And the center position is Kurt Thomas who is only 206cm tall!

"Don't underestimate Kurt Thomas. Although this guy is only 206cm tall, he is smart in defense and has faster feet than ordinary centers.

If you want to use the pick-and-roll to form a dislocation single on the outside, it is not a good idea. "

Zhao Hao looked at James, who was already on the sidelines, and reminded him.

After hearing this, Lao Zhan nodded in agreement.

He also knew what Zhao Hao meant. This match had already been rumored before it started.

It has even been talked about as an MVP battle.

Therefore, the Suns will definitely impose special restrictions on him, and Nash will work hard to lead the team to victory.

So if he wants to lead the team to victory and play data that completely overwhelms Nash, he must be smarter.

Midfield jump ball.

Big Z relied on his height advantage to jump to the ball without any surprise.

Defending James is the long-armed monster Marion.

Marion's defense is not bad!
The super performance of averaging 1.7 blocks and 2 steals per game, coupled with defending the opponent's players, can limit a full 8% of the field goal percentage.

He is the only defensive player that the entire Suns can produce.

"Don't hit hard, pick and roll substitutions!"

Zhao Hao didn't think that James couldn't impress Marion at all, but it was obviously not a wise move to insist on hitting hard enemies.

Snow, who was on the outside line, heard the boss shouting, hurried over to pick and roll, and then immediately went down to take Marion away.

Now it's Nash who defends James!

Looking at James who was as strong as a tank in front of him, Nash obviously panicked.

"How can I guard against this!
When did your Cavaliers learn such a perverted style of play. "

Seeing Nash take a half step back nervously, James did not choose to shoot.

Instead, he directly forcibly broke through, and carried the Son of the Wind to kill inside!

beep!beep!
The referee blew his whistle, and Nash was fouled on the first ball of the game.

At the same time, James also scored a layup in the penalty area.

2+1!

D'Antoni on the sidelines didn't look too good when he saw this scene.

"Hey.

Nash's shooting and organizational skills are top in the league, and his offensive awareness is also amazing.

It's just that the defense is really hard to describe.

The regular season is okay, but it will be a big trouble in the playoffs! "

On the court, James habitually doesn't want the referee's help, so he doesn't score free throws!
When it was the Suns' turn to attack, Nash advanced with the ball and was about to direct his teammates to make tactical moves when the scene in front of him made him stupid.

Zhao Hao walked in front of Snow domineeringly, and pointed at Suns shooting guard Lagabel behind him.

"I will defend Nash in this game."

Snow glanced at the team's newly promoted boss, and hurried away.

Just kidding, defending Lagabel is not easier than Nash?

Seeing this scene, Nash was very unhappy.

What do you mean by Zhao Hao's hype?Do you think you can really guard against me?

Seeing that Zhao Hao chose to take a step back to defend, leaving him a full half a meter of space.

Nash didn't hesitate, and directly chose to pull out from outside the three-point line!
This season, Nash's three-point shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 44%, and he can also throw an average of 2 three-pointers per game.

This output and hit rate are a bit like shrimp.

But at this moment, Zhao Hao's jumping interference came!
boom!
A solid one point cap.

"Are your hands so long!"

Seeing this block, Nash was a little surprised.

It took a while to realize that the player defending him was no longer the point guard before, but a shooting guard.

And Zhao Hao's height is 198cm, and his wingspan has reached 212cm.

This defensive area is much stronger than those previous opponents!
On the court, after Zhao Hao blocked the shot, he turned his head and glanced at James who followed him.

Hit the empty catch!

James violently blasted the basket!
4: 0!

D'Antoni, who had already discovered that something was wrong, quickly called a timeout!
"It's not common to call a timeout within a minute of the game."

On-site commentary desk Kenny Smith shook his head and said.

The weakness of the Suns is too obvious.

If the team's engine Nash is blocked, can this smooth team offense still be played?
The key point is that the Cavaliers adopted Zhao Hao's targeted defense as the main defense against Nash as soon as they came up.

This can directly limit half of Nash's strength!
If Nash's offensive threat is not turned on, the pass deterrence will also be greatly weakened.

The Suns are about to lose this game!
