I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 99 Release?6 three-pointers in a single quarter!Kill crazy!

"You guys are too lax in defense, that's Lu Yi, the league's top three-point shooter with a 61.7% three-point shooting percentage in the regular season!

What are you trying to do by giving him such a large shooting space?
Tonight is the Christmas battle, you don't want to go home and sleep peacefully? "

After Lu Yi scored two consecutive three-pointers, the Suns coach Alvin Gentry couldn't help calling a timeout, and then cursed off the court.

In the game between the Suns and the Clippers, whoever was missed on the defensive end, Lu Yi should not be missed!
Lu Yi is the league's three-point leader this season, ranking first in the league in terms of three-point shooting percentage and production.

Lu Yi averaged 5.8 three-pointers per game. It can be said that half of the points in each game come from three-pointers.

There are two ways for other teams to defend Lu Yi.

One is resolutely double-teaming, starting without the ball, and resolutely not letting Lu Yi touch the ball.

The other is to strictly guard Lu Yi on the three-point line, and destroy Lu Yi's shooting touch through a lot of physical contact and even small movements.

But Lu Yi is still too strong, Lu Yi's three-point ability is too strong, and against Lu Yi alone, within the scope of the current rules, few people can really interfere with Lu Yi.

Besides, Lu Yi's ability is not only three-pointers.

As far as shooting threats are concerned, Lu Yi will still be able to kill the mid-range game.

Lu Yi's athletic ability is so strong, and there is no defense at the basket, so don't score too easily.

Any NBA team, after knowing Lu Yi's existing three-point ability, will strictly defend Lu Yi's three-point shots.

At the same time, one has to be wary of Lu Yi's athletic talent for hitting the basket and scoring.

Then the problem of insufficient mid-range defense is bound to be exposed.

Unlimited defense changes, continuous running to fill positions.

There are really good defensive, disciplined teams that can do that.

However, there are 48 minutes in a game, and a team's defensive resources are also limited.

It is precisely because of this that no team can target Lu Yi in normal games and do a good job of defending.

As for the result of the game, Lu Yi will naturally use all kinds of offensive methods to attack every corner and break through his weaknesses.

Alvin Gentry also knew that the Suns' defensive resources were insufficient, and even if they were serious about defending, they would not be able to guard against Lu Yi.

Alvin Gentry didn't expect tonight's Christmas game, and the solar guarded Lu Yi.

However, this is not the starting player on the field, casually watching the route of Lu Yi's open three-pointer.

After all, Lu Yi's scoring average has not exceeded 40 points per game!

Facts have proved that defending Lu Yi carefully can still limit Lu Yi's scoring.

As for Lu Yi's slack defense, Lu Yi had to feel embarrassed.

As long as he is accurate enough, as long as he can keep scoring, Lu Yi can really kill the game with a jump shot like Jordan did.

Having said that, tonight is the Christmas game, and tonight is the Suns' home game. As the head coach of the Suns, Alvin Gentry naturally wants to win more than anyone else.

The defensive attitude shown by the Suns players really makes him angry.

At this moment, the Suns players really felt the wrath of Alvin Gentry.

But the question is, if Lu Yi can't miss it, can Iverson miss it?
In the shadow of a man's famous tree, Iverson's reputation is much greater than that of Lu Yi.

It is also the golden generation of 96. As the big brother of the Suns, Nash was the 15th pick in the first round, and Iverson was the No. [-] pick!
Iverson was wandering in the league before because he didn't have such a good environment like Nash.

But what about after arriving at the Clippers?
Not only has Iverson's scoring and assist data rebounded rapidly, but even his error control is better than ever.

Obviously, Iverson back then, in another way, is back!

Facing a team with two top picks with explosive talents, one of which is a top breakthrough player in the league, and the other is a top three-point shooter, how to defend?

To put it another way, is it to let go of the 2-pointer that can be won steadily, or to bet that the opponent's open three-pointer will definitely score?
Almost without thinking, the vast majority of coaches in the league will choose to play three-pointers and defend two-pointers.

After all, it is impossible to make three-pointers steadily. The best three-pointer this year only hits 40% of his shots.

It can be said that there is no problem with the Suns players' previous defensive choices.

Of course, now that Alvin Gentry has emphasized it, they will naturally change their attitude to defend Lu Yi.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

After getting the ball, the Suns quickly launched an offense. Nash dribbled the ball for half court, and Stoudemire pulled to the three-point line ahead of time to pick and roll with Nash.

In the meantime, Nash suddenly went to the right, and when Iverson kept up, Nash suddenly passed the ball to Stoudemire by hitting the ground.

I saw that Stoudemire had started to accelerate before getting the ball, and stepped into the free throw circle after receiving the ball.

With Stoudemire's athletic ability, it only takes two steps to get to the basket at this time.

The Clippers saw Stoudemire carrying a pack of explosives and rushing towards the basket, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Thornton tried to defend Stoudemire for a while, but he didn't struggle after being resisted.

Kaman under the basket took the initiative to get out of the way to prevent Stoudemire from getting a chance to add a penalty.

boom--

Stoudemire hit the basket and the Suns recovered two points.

Stoudemire had just landed, but Kaman picked up the ball on the ground perfectly and retreated to the bottom line to serve.

Kaman was ready when Stoudemire rushed over. In fact, the Suns realized that the Clippers might play fast break.

But the height and defense of the sun have certain problems for the Clippers.

The center serves from the baseline and has a good pass vision. Lu Yi and Iverson have rich experience in fast breaks.

When the ball arrives, the person arrives.

Nash, Hill and others rushed back to defend, but this time they just went to chase Lu Yi to prevent Lu Yi from chasing a three-pointer, and Lu Yi passed the ball to Iverson.

Iverson single-handedly shot straight in.

boom--

With the help of Iverson's dunk, the Clippers quickly returned one.

Because Nash and Hill were still chasing Lu Yi on the three-point line before, this time the Suns wanted to make a free throw, so they had to spend some time sending someone to the baseline to re-serve the ball.

Lu Yi and Iverson took the opportunity to return to the backcourt. The Suns couldn't find any opportunities in the fast break and could only play half court.

The Clippers' defense is much stronger than that of the Suns. Even the Nash organization can't find any opportunities for a while.

In the end, it was Nash who changed direction continuously in the middle distance and made an emergency stop to shoot a jumper.

However, Nash is not young anymore, and as his physical fitness declines, CIC is not as stable as before.

Seeing Nash hit the iron, Lu Yi originally turned around and went for a fast break, but the rebound happened to bounce in his direction, so he had no choice but to step forward and take off to grab the rebound.

Seeing this, the sun didn't stay in the frontcourt much, and immediately returned to defense.

However, the Suns don't have much ability to fight positional warfare, but the Clippers do.

Lu Yi handed the ball to Iverson and returned to the frontcourt first.

Hill stayed close to Lu Yi to prevent Lu Yi from receiving the ball outside the three-point line.

Seeing this posture, Lu Yi decisively walked to the logo area. Hill looked at the positions of his teammates. Although he was still defending beyond the three-point line, he was still a big step away from Lu Yi's position.

However, Iverson did not return the ball to Lu Yi, but continued to walk towards the basket with the ball.

Lu Yi has already opened up space for him by virtue of his shooting threat.

In a four-on-four situation within the three-point line, how could Iverson not dare to play?
As Camby ran from the right corner to the left corner, after helping Iverson clear the right, Iverson went straight to the basket from the right.

Channing Frye jumped out to defend Iverson, and Iverson jumped up and pulled the bar, and then threw the ball to the sky.

Channing Frye was still surprised, when Kaman suddenly descended from behind, Duang clicked and clicked.

The Suns didn't expect that Iverson would show up like this, almost breaking through the Suns' defense with his own strength, but at the final moment, he gave Kaman the best scoring opportunity.

Kaman took the cake in vain, how comfortable it was.

This kind of chance to score steadily will naturally not be missed.

It is said that the two teams kept scoring, and the audience in front of the TV watched it very well, but the Suns fans at the scene were on pins and needles.

The Clippers' offensive efficiency is too high, either shooting three-pointers or hitting the basket.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the offense is strong, but the defense is better than the Suns, which makes people have nothing to say.

Fortunately, the Suns offense is also unambiguous.

Kaman slipped the bottom line before, but this time Stoudemire also responded to him in the same way, and quickly served from the bottom line.

Nash held the ball and made a fast break, but Lu Yi and Iverson quickly returned to defense.

Just when the Suns' fast break plan was interrupted, Stoudemire sneaked into the frontcourt.

At the same time, Richardson and Hill have also split up and ran on the left and right sides to attract defense.

Suns fans can tell at a glance that the Suns' fast break this time is a relatively common three-line offense.

Of course, the third line of offense is just that the Suns use too much, and other teams do not have such offensive resources.

The Suns' offense is indeed strong, and it is a multi-point offense.

The Clippers have some experience in defending against fast breaks, and they can defend, but in a chaotic battle, there must be problems in defense.

Stoudemire received the ball and went to kill Iverson. Hill suddenly cut to the basket from a 45-degree angle on the left.

Lu Yi went to block Hill, but Stoudemire made a small throw against Iverson.

Being suppressed by Stoudemire, Iverson didn't dare to jump at all, and Iverson also knew that one jump is two plus one.

Since Lu Yi was defending Hill, there was no chance to make up for Stoudemire's point. In the end, the Suns recovered two points.

The Clippers are not in a hurry, they are leading anyway.

The Clippers didn't play a fast break this time, and Iverson dribbled the ball steadily across the half.

Still didn't look for Lu Yi, and didn't play by himself, but handed the request to Thornton first, and asked Thornton to touch the ball.

In this round, it is uncertain who will play the ball in the end.

However, the ball cannot always stay in the hands of Lu Yi and Iverson.

They all have families. On Christmas Eve, unless you go to the game site, whose family members don't gather around the TV and gather around a table with lively people?
Of these players on the field, who doesn't want to take this opportunity to perform well?
Iverson knows that he has had enough of the limelight, and now the rhythm of the game is in his hands, and it is not a bad thing to show his teammates.

At least, it is also good to let teammates touch the ball, have more expectations, and inspire more passion.

It is said that Thornton received the ball, and he was not polite.

Holding the ball directly to the basket, Thornton started quickly, but Hill was faster.

The fastest first step in the league back then, although he was out of shape due to several serious injuries.

However, after being treated by Sun's miraculous doctor, there is still no problem in defending and keeping up with the first step.

Thornton's breakthrough was straight forward without much change in footsteps, and Hill's defense was relatively easy.

Thornton failed to break through and quickly passed the ball back to Iverson at the top of the arc.

After receiving the ball, Iverson didn't stop for a moment, and suddenly slammed to the left.

Iverson has always rushed to the right, but often suddenly to the left, basically he is sure to score.

Because Iverson is not stupid, he cleared a large area on the left, and with his speed, he can kill him, and only the center under the basket can stop him.

However, the center only relies on blocking shots to defend, but there is no way to prevent him from scoring under the basket.

You know, Iverson's ability to fight big is based on years of experience in falling, falling out little by little.

Even if he didn't score, Iverson has the confidence to win free throws.

Nash was in the same year as Iverson. Over the years, he has played a lot of games.

Seeing Iverson rushing into the right, he naturally knew that the situation was not good.

Stoudemire at the basket also knew that he had to help Nash stop him at this time, otherwise this wave of defense would be for nothing.

Iverson's surprise breakthrough attracted a lot of defensive energy from the Suns. Richardson, who was originally outside the three-point line, had to move to other positions to defend.

Of course, because of the heavy responsibility of defending Lu Yi, he dared not go too far.

But at this time, something bad happened suddenly.

Seeing Stoudemire coming to help defend, Iverson suddenly jumped up and turned around in the air.

Seeing Iverson looking back at the moon, the Suns players on the field were shocked.

In the next second, Lu Yi received the ball at the top of the arc, then adjusted slowly, took off, and shot.

Richardson hurriedly turned around and rushed, but it was too late.

brush--

It was another open three-pointer, and Lu Yi made another steady hit.

It has to be said that with the help of Lu Yi's three-pointer, the point difference between the two teams was widened again.

Perhaps it was because Lu Yi's three-pointer was too demoralizing. Sun was chasing the points with tension. Seeing that he had a chance to catch up, Lu Yi suddenly shot a sniper arrow, which gave him a chill.

The discouraged Sun not only lost defense, but also lost the previous efficient offense.

After hitting the iron three times in a row, Alvin Gentry, who hated iron and steel, had to call a timeout again.

After returning from the timeout, the Suns set up a zone defense to avoid sending someone to stare at Lu Yi, but Iverson suddenly became a sieve.

But this turned out to be a good thing for Lu Yi.

No one is watching from beyond the three-point line. It is easy to catch the ball. As long as you shoot quickly, the feel is fine. Shooting three-pointers is just like training.

Next, Lu Yi took the opportunity to make a lot of three-pointers.

Alvin Gentry seemed to want to bet on Lu Yi's touch, but Alvin Gentry didn't know that Lu Yi's three-point ability was full.

brush brush --

Lu Yi shot like crazy, basically like shooting training, Lu Yi, who shot from the top of the arc, made 6 three-pointers in the first quarter, which was unreasonably strong.

The three-pointer is a sharp weapon to open up the score. The Suns' fast-break offense had already stagnated. At this time, they were baptized by Lu Yi's three-pointer torrential rain, and they were directly wet.

Obviously, the Suns players on the field were sweating profusely, and they all played hard.

But looking at the score, it was only the first quarter, which was 38 to 21, a full 17 points difference.

Before the start of the second quarter, Alvin Gentry and Nash were really sweating when they saw Lu Yi still sitting on the court.

However, Lu Yi launched a crazy offensive. The Suns wanted to suppress the Clippers in the second and third quarters, but it was not so easy.

The Christmas battle was originally a time to crazily show their strength and perform performances.

The Clippers played another 20 downwind games with Lu Yi.

Now they know too well how to win with the wind!
The offense is a bit choppy, but the defense is solid.

The Suns just played a 5-0 spurt at the beginning of the second quarter, and then were blocked again.

Later, it was the Clippers who came to the state first and broke the deadlock of being unable to score in sports games.

After the first half, the Clippers led the Suns by 22 points, and the outcome of this game was doomed in advance.

In the third quarter, Lu Yi played as full as the first quarter.

It was also because Lu Yi played the entire quarter that the two teams quickly opened up no matter how many points they had.

Originally, Sun still wanted to struggle, but because of the infusion, he had to accept his fate.

In this regard, Lu Yi won the first Christmas game of his career.
