Chapter 288 Before the Western Conference Finals

This world may be like this, when one person goes well, it also means that another person is not going well.After the Spurs and the Suns tied 2-2, they didn't know what happened, and they suddenly went out of order. The Suns lost two games in a row, and finally lost the series 4-2!
After seeing that his opponent in the Western Conference Finals was the Suns, Li Du laughed out loud. Although the Suns have made major deals and changed many people in the past two seasons, their core remains the same. Nash and Stoudemire It supports the whole sun.

The current Warriors and the Suns are very similar in terms of staffing and style of play. They are also fast offensive and defensive, with the same two cores of one outside and one inside.

The two teams, which look so similar, are actually fundamentally different.

The Suns' fast offense and defense is to speed up the offense with all their strength, increase the number of rounds, and shoot when the fast break or the opponent has not had time to establish a defensive formation, so when they win the game, the team scores very high, generally 115 Up and down.

The Warriors' fast attack and defense is based on the defensive counterattack with Li Du and Yao Ming as the pillars. The basis of their fast attack must be to destroy the opponent's attack!From this perspective, the Warriors' defense is also an offense, and their defense is a defense full of aggression and offense.So the Warriors won't necessarily score high, but they also let their opponents score low!

The Warriors and the Suns have played three games in the regular season this season, the first two of which were in the first half of the season, and the Warriors won them all without exception.In other words, even when Yao Ming has not returned to the team and the Warriors are still disabled, they still have the ability to win the Suns.The most important of these is because Li Du can restrain Nash by himself.

As Li Du became more and more mature, Nash's athletic ability declined rapidly due to his age. He is now completely different from the "Zon of the Wind" four years ago. Now Nash is still an excellent player. The ball guard can only be an excellent point guard.

As an opponent, Li Du felt relieved that the Warriors met the Suns in the Western Conference Finals, but as a junior and friend, he felt sad that Nash and other former superstars entered the end of their careers.Time may be the most powerful opponent. In front of it, no matter who it is, it will eventually leave the field sadly.

"In the later stages of my career, I must never be as desolate as they are!" Li Du secretly decided that he should not be like Nash and the others, still struggling for a championship ring at the end of his career. He wanted to learn from Jordan, At the peak, he retreated bravely and achieved an undefeated myth.

But it’s still too early to say, Li Du is only in the fourth year of his career, and according to his physical condition and his sensitivity on the court, his career will be very long, even if he is 40 years old. Dominance!

While the Warriors are preparing for the Western Conference Finals, the Suns are also studying how to deal with the Warriors.In fact, every time before encountering a strong opponent, each NBA team will prepare in advance, analyze the opponent, find out the most feasible targeted plan, etc. It is not enough for everyone to go up and play according to daily tactics or personal ability.Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.This truth is understood not only by the Chinese, but by people all over the world.

In the video analysis room of the Suns, all the players and the coaching staff were carefully watching the video of the game between the Lakers and the Warriors. At the beginning, everyone was engrossed in watching it, but when they watched the third and fourth games, Everyone's hearts were heavy, as if they were pressing down on a big rock.

Because in these two games, they saw a brand new Li Du, who was also more ferocious than ever before!Facing this kind of desperately strong player who violates the laws of basketball time and time again on the court, no one can relax.

With the end of the fourth game, D'Antoni turned off the video, and then asked everyone: "How do you feel after watching these four games? How do you think we should deal with the Warriors?"

After he finished asking this sentence, everyone remained silent, and no one spoke first.The strength of the Warriors makes people desperate, and the style of play is so similar to them, and the Warriors are younger and more athletic, not to mention the monster-like Li Du!From these perspectives, the Suns don't have any advantage over the Warriors.

After a long silence, Grant Hill, who was sitting next to Nash, spoke first: "It seems that the Warriors seem to be better than us in everything, and we have no chance of winning. Against them, we have to give up the psychological advantages we have always had and use The attitude of a weak team against a strong team is to fight with them. Only in this way can we have a chance."

What Hill said was very good, and it also clarified everyone's mentality.The reason why the Suns feel that the Warriors are invincible is because the players still retain the idea that their team is a strong team in their hearts. A strong team crushes opponents with absolute strength, and the current strength of the Suns Not only is it not enough to crush the warriors, on the contrary, they may be crushed by the warriors. This makes everyone feel helpless and powerless, which is also the reason why everyone was silent just now.

D'Antoni looked at Hill with admiration and was very happy. With Hill's words as the beginning, at least the Suns will not lose their fighting spirit before the game.Hill, a genius ruined by injuries, has experienced too much pain. He has gone from being the darling of heaven and Jordan's successor to a person who can't play and has moved around in the NBA. The gap is very big. It's hard for outsiders to understand, but it is also the pain of hell that has gone through, so after Hill regains his health, even if he can no longer jump high or run fast, he still becomes an indispensable and important player for the Suns.And when looking at the problem, I can see it more clearly and thoroughly than others.

With Hill at the beginning, Nash finally spoke: "The style of the Warriors just restrained us, or Li Du just restrained me. This is also an important reason why we have not been able to win against the Warriors. As usual, we need to make changes to minimize the impact of Li Du restricting me on the team."

After Nash said this, it was equivalent to providing everyone with an idea, so Barbosa, the sixth man of the Suns, said: "Stephen is right. The reason why the Warriors are strong is because of Li Du. The Warriors won us all in the regular season. , It is also because Li Du can limit our offensive engine. As long as we reduce his influence on the court, even if we cannot prevent him, we can always affect his offense. Once Li Du's efficiency drops, the rest of the Warriors will not be able to consider!"

"That's right!" "I agree with that too!" The others nodded.

When everyone was talking vigorously, Xiaosi said quietly: "Don't forget that they still have Yao, that oriental giant is stronger after losing weight. I can't defend against him alone!"
