Chapter 675 G2 Three

In the halftime lounge, the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room is more dignified.

After losing so many points in the half, everyone felt very uncomfortable. Yang Di, as the core of the team, the signature character, and the leader, did not want to talk and looked rather depressed.

Montgomery clapped his hands to cheer up the players.

At the same time, he began to explain some of the problems the Warriors encountered in the first half on the tactical board.

"The Suns' wing attack was relatively successful tonight. Sean Marion has been looking for cover cuts, and Nash's pass from the top of the arc can be directly inserted into his hands. After Yang Di was transferred from the inside, this It is the best way to directly attack our hinterland, and Tyson has encountered a great test of defense."

Tyson Chandler nodded. He didn't know how many times he faced Marion in the first half.

"But the good news is that Tyson's foul count was well controlled today," Montgomery said with a shrug.

Everyone laughed, which relieved some of the dignified atmosphere.

"It's the same as the Spurs, but their tactical intentions are clearer. Through the threat of Nash's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Yang Di was transferred away, and then he used Nash's connection with the wing to directly attack our penalty area."

"We had to step up defense of Nash's ball-handling spot, and at the same time mark the Suns' wing players who were constantly pulling the defense, including Shawn Marion and "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa."

Montgomery finally made a conclusion, and the players in the locker room applauded. When some tactics were on the court, the players themselves couldn't see them, but after the coach said it, the players suddenly realized that they had to do something in the second half. Things became clearer.

Midfield, the American West Arena is still very lively.

The Phoenix Suns invited some singers, acrobatic performance teams, hip-hop dance teams, etc. to perform halftime performances. In 15 minutes, there are exactly two or three programs. Before the fans have finished enjoying the programs, they can watch the more thrilling , A tense second half.

"duo~"

The whistle blew and the second half began.

The opening jump ball did not win, and the Warriors took the lead in attacking. Under the mobilization of the DJ, the home fans yelled the slogan "defend, defend" frantically.

Fisher called Yang Di to come out for a pick-and-roll, but Yang Di pretended to be a pick-and-roll and suddenly went down.

Stoudemire chased Yang Di in, Fisher didn't pass the ball, and moved to the right to Ray Allen who came out of the pocket, and Ray Allen made three threats.

Exploring step is not much in Ray Allen's offensive options, but the effect of using it once in a while is very obvious.

Raja Bell swayed to the left, Ray Allen broke through in the opposite direction, and the Suns' defense suddenly had some problems. Yang Di ran back to the basket in the middle again, and Ray Allen made a cross to Yang Di .

Yang Di soared into the air, his body stretched out like a huge bow, Thomas gave up his defense, and watched Yang Di bomber, smashing the frame with one hand with his right hand.

"nice shot!"

Yang Di and Ray Allen clapped their hands together. This is the first time the two have played a perfect match until now.

The Suns didn't care at all. Nash picked up the basketball and quickly served the baseline ball. Stoudemire returned the ball to Nash, and Nash immediately ran and dribbled forward.

In the past two years, Nash has won the title of "Son of the Wind", describing his current style of play in the Suns. He is running almost all the time, either dribbling to advance, or pulling the defense without the ball to find offensive space.

Nash did not choose to command at the top of the arc, but instead handed the ball to Raja Bell.

Bell held the ball very steadily, and unhurriedly lobbed it to Stoudemire who asked for the ball in the low post.

Yang Di, who was defending from behind, was overjoyed. He took a step forward to resist Stoudemire and interfered with Stoudemire's catch and dribble. Stoudemire didn't dare to put the ball down and dribble. , Out to Nash.

Nash feinted a bit, and forced Fisher on the right side of the ball.

Fisher was given by Nash at once, reached out to grab Nash's clothes, and was called a foul.

Montgomery squinted his eyes, rubbed his chin, and was ready to replace Monta Ellis at any moment, sighing in his heart that one day the defense would have to rely on this unreliable second-year kid.

Nash was very difficult to guard, and his drives were ignored under his top passing.

In fact, Nash's three-threat breakthrough combined with his shooting is very difficult to defend, and sometimes he is good at finding big man screens. Even if the defensive player can keep up with his footsteps, he will still be blocked by the big man and then switch to the big man. Will be played by Nash's dexterity and speed.

Fortunately, the Warriors often switch defenses to Yang Di. Yang Di's speed is not inferior to that of the guards, and his reflexes are super strong. Nash encounters a lot of defensive pressure.

From this round of the series until now, Stoudemire's scoring has relied on Nash's feed. When he singled out Yang Di, he has not succeeded in scoring a single time.

After Nash broke through this time, he passed the ball back to Stoudemire. Stoudemire took a breath and went in, facing Tyson Chandler and wanted to dunk.

He leaped high, turned his hand into a battle ax in the air, and tilted his body slightly.

Yang Di patted his horse from the side and rushed over. With his right hand, he held down the basketball exposed by Stoudemire with one hand. Under the force, he changed the direction. His big hand caught the basket, but the basketball directly changed its trajectory and direction, hitting the backboard and bouncing off.

"duo~"

A whistle sounded, but Yang Di was called a defensive foul by the referee.

"Oops, no! It's a good hat!" Yang Di waved his hand, with a look of surprise and disbelief on his face, staring at the referee, his eyes widened.

"It's definitely a good cap. You can watch the replay. I didn't even touch his finger cap." Yang Di chased after the referee who blew the whistle.

Montgomery on the sidelines jumped three meters high, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "You also called a foul? Then you just let the sun win!"

The referee originally wanted to tell Yang Di that he saw it very clearly, and he didn't need to tell him anything. In a blink of an eye, he saw Montgomery, who was jumping and roaring happily, and immediately burst into anger, staring round, "beep beep" angrily He blew a few times, pointed at Montgomery, put the palm of his left hand down, and the palm of his right hand was flat and perpendicular to the palm of his left palm, forming the letter "T", which was a technical foul.

"what?"

Montgomery was really angry now, and scolded the referee for being a fool. Ron Adams and several assistant coaches came up and quickly pulled away the runaway Montgomery.

Yang Di originally wanted to discuss something with the referee, but when he saw how fierce the referee was, he was a little timid and ran away in despair.

The Suns home fans applauded thunderously, and when the camera switched to Montgomery's face, everyone laughed and smiled proudly.

Nash walked before halftime, no one grabbed a rebound, and made a free throw for a technical foul alone.

D'Antoni shook his head and said to his first assistant coach Alvin Gentry, "Is Montgomery a little panicked? Is such a foul worth the fire?"

Gentry shrugged. "Maybe he has some different ideas?"
