Chapter 214 The Lore Failed (5000 words for the big chapter)
After a 15-minute break, the players on both sides came out full of fighting spirit, their eyes interlaced with their opponents, and even starlight came out.

Back in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The third quarter is the key point to establish a lead. After the first half of the match, the two sides knew that the opponent was not easy to eat. The Kings were sick, but tonight the Tigers are well, full of vigor and strength.

The Suns are indeed young. Although their record is watery, in terms of offensive firepower, it is not too much to be called the best in the league.

Although, the No. 1 player in the league only took a one-point lead after halftime against the Kings, but the Kings have weighed them, so there is really nothing to say about their strength.

With all kinds of dissatisfaction, the two sides fought with all their strength in the third quarter, without any chance of luck.

The Kings got the ball first, and Bibby dribbled to the front court. In the positional battle, the Kings didn't hold back, and directly put up the strongest battle formation, distributed the ball to Webber, and organized support in the middle. Bibby cut to the basket. The bottom line played a screen with Christie, and Bibby broke through the gap between Nash and Richardson's defense and went straight to the basket.

Weber supported the organization with a wide vision, and immediately sent a timely over-the-head pass with both hands. Bibby easily caught the ball with two steps and a layup. The basketball cleverly got into the net and overtook the score.

The Suns also outperformed the Kings in terms of offense. Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll. Nash used the change in speed and rhythm to suddenly enter the inside lane. Strong arc but hits the board.

On the offensive, he did not give in at all, and easily returned the color.

However, as the game progressed, the Kings showed superior skills and tactics.

The newborn Suns felt their scalps tingling, Bibby still dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, however, the inside line that was pulled to the high position became Brad Miller, passing the ball hand to hand, Bibby was not confused, and immediately moved the basketball to the frontcourt. Give it to Brad Miller to organize the offense, and he will take Nash to stretch the space.

On the right wing, Christie still ran to the side with the ball, and then adapted to the situation, ran back and made an air cut, using the screen as a wall, and he became more comfortable.

On the left perimeter, Stojakovic can also look for opportunities, show off his off-ball running skills, and deal with superstar Joe Johnson. So proficient, the range is far enough, so there is naturally a lot of room for shots.

What has changed is the low post on the left side, where Webb stands, without screens as a wall, and the task of running to find opportunities.

Marion put his hands on his waist, and put on a posture of guarding against death. Soon, Brad Miller passed the ball to Webber without any concealment, allowing Weber to use a powerful low-post single to tear apart the Suns' defense.

This is the low-post version of Princeton's tactical play. Using superstar low-post singles to create offensive space, other players can surround Webber in the low post to perform another kind of air cut, counter-run, screen, and offense to the Suns. Dimensional hit.

Although it seems that there is no change in medicine, Weber's mid-range shot is too stable, and Marion, who has a great defensive ability in singles, can actually score a basketball.

With Webber's low-post offense succeeding, this talented and talented power forward began to take over the offensive firepower of the Kings. However, his style of play is not unique, and he has a good balance between passing support and personal offense.

After Bibby screened, the characteristics of Xiaoling's quickness were fully released, and he frequently received passes from Weber and hit the back door of the Suns.

Whether the Suns have Stoudemire inside, at this moment, is vivid.

With the speed of a small guard and a strong body, although Stoudemire is not tall compared to his height, he has a strong ability to protect the frame. With him pressing down on the basket, the Kings' impact layup is not so great. easy.

The Kings only changed a low position, allowing their players to get the opportunity to release their offensive talents. As far as creating offensive opportunities, the Princeton system can definitely rank first.

In addition to Webber and Bibby's one-on-one performance, Stojakovic also relied on his fiery touch to frequently shoot from the wing, opening up the attack from the wing. Even Christie, who has been working hard on the defensive end, also He shot more, but he is an underestimated scorer. Once played, the offensive firepower of the Kings will be upgraded to a new level in an instant, playing the realm where everyone is for me, and I am for everyone. The offense blossoms more and hits the sun The team was losing ground.

On the other hand, the Suns had an offensive problem at this time.

The run-and-gun tactic, with the Kings intentionally rhythmic, the Suns are still in the running-in period, and they haven't exploded. God blocks and kills gods, Buddhas block and kills Buddhas, a powerful move that is popular all over the world.

In the 7-second run, D'Antoni dared to think that Nash also passed the ball, but the hit rate could not be guaranteed.

Therefore, the main attack point of the Suns is still making a fuss about diamond tactics.

To put it bluntly, it is the pick-and-roll tactics of Nash and Stoudemire.

However, Stoudemire now relies more on physical talent to bully people, and uses speed and strength to solve opponents. Neither do singles.

In this case, Stoudemire relies too much on Nash's pass, and a major premise, the wing players can open space, that is to say, Richardson and Joe Johnson's mid-range shots must be accurate, otherwise, the Kings Definitely shrink the inside line and pinch off the offensive threat of Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll cooperation.

But when the Suns needed outside fire support, Joe Johnson's singles and shooting were misfired. Stojakovic failed to succeed in consecutive singles, and his 5-for-1 was inefficient.

Richardson on the left was even more unbearable. In the entanglement with Christie, he almost sleepwalked throughout the game, did not score in sports games, and made a 6-for-0 three-pointer.

Stoudemire has no space, Nash can't pass him the ball at all, Marion still can't get past Webber's defense, and it doesn't help much offensively.

Nash dribbled the ball to the front court. Seeing that his teammates were not offline, the Kings' offensive firepower was at full strength, so they had to bite the bullet and go up on their own.

At the top arc of the three-point line, Nash dribbled and swept towards Stoudemire, but suddenly pulled the ball up, and made a three-point jumper.

Bibby's defense is also a pitfall. Although his style of play is unpretentious, his physical talent is relatively poor.

The nickname "White Devil" is very bluffing. It is not about his devil-like body, but that he has a big heart. At critical moments, he is very calm and cold-blooded. , is a Caucasian contestant again, his face is naturally very white, cold white, doesn't he look like a "devil"?

It's just that the nickname has nothing to do with defense at all, and his defense is hardly good. In other words, except for Christie, the entire Kings' defense is very poor.

Nash doesn't take many shots, but his efficiency is very high, especially the three-pointer is his specialty, and he maintains the top five shooting percentages in the league.

The arc of the basketball flying into the sky was very high, and with a swish sound, it entered the center.

Immediately afterwards, Nash took advantage of the threat of a three-pointer in the previous game, singled Bibby again in the middle, used a bowing action, made a fake shot and made a real breakthrough, went inside, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop at the free throw line.

Cold arrow three-pointer, horseback archery, emergency stop jumper, and drifting two-pointer shot. Nash's passing skills were sealed, but he showed off his offensive three-axes. Can really score points, score efficiently, and carry the young Suns forward.

Lin Bai came off the bench and also contributed a three-pointer, which was a rare boost, and Nash almost singled out the entire Kings team.

In the legend, Lu Bu fought against Sanying, and they fought back and forth.

Nash made 6 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, scored 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, but his teammates' offense was misfired, even if Nash's offense broke out, he faced the Kings who played more points.

The tense situation was immediately broken. After three quarters, the Kings had an 88-82 advantage of 6 points, leading the Suns and entering the final decisive battle.

The fourth quarter started, and the Suns were not willing to fall behind in the score, and immediately began to fight back hard at the beginning.

Joe Johnson's shooting skills recovered, and against Stojakovic's defense, he scored a wonderful three-pointer, giving the Suns generals a reassurance.

Nash's offensive firepower also had a good continuation. After the pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, he immediately made a quick shot and hit a two-point jumper with precision.

Taking advantage of Weber's stamina, Marion also forcibly shot. Although the hit rate was not high, but with his top physical fitness, he grabbed the rebound and sent the basketball into the basket, playing very resolutely.

As the Suns feel warmer, Stoudemire, who has the offensive firepower support of his teammates, gets more offensive space.

Nash also judged the situation. After frequent pick-and-rolls, he sent the basketball to Stoudemire's hands, hit the basket, and successfully blasted the basket.

When it was time to go all out, Stoudemire dared to play, constantly hitting the basket, making killing dunks or hitting the free throw line, slowly forcing the score.

The Kings had nothing to adjust. They believed in their own Princeton style of play. Although their defense was weak, their offensive firepower was reliable, and they used their offense to score, pressing down on the Suns.

The two sides seemed to be in a tense situation, and the Suns fought back desperately, biting the score tightly, but the Kings took the initiative.

In the last minute of the fourth quarter, Nash still stood up. When Stoudemire was desperately trying to get a position inside and Nash was about to pass, he suddenly pulled the ball up and made a three-point jumper.

Hitting Bibby by surprise, Bibby pounced on him, and when he reached out to cover Nash's eyes, Nash pulled the basketball away, and the basketball drew a full moon in the air, with a clear sound, and the three-pointer fell into the ball precisely. basket.

109 to 110! !
With 44 seconds left before the game time, Nash once again came back to life, offering a three-pointer with a cold arrow, narrowing the gap between the two sides to 1 point.

Sacramento Kings coach Rick Adelman called a short timeout to arrange offensive tactics.

Off the court, the fans and spectators watched with enthusiasm, and the staggered offensive feast kept hitting their visual nerves.

The shower of applause was free, like rain hitting plantains, falling one after another, and the thunderous cheers and shouts also came crashing down.

On the commentary stage, Barkley also clapped his hands and laughed. He kept saying good things and praised the youngsters of the Suns, and even directly asserted, "No matter who wins this matchup in the end? The Suns rank first in the league in the regular season The first one doesn’t have anything to say. Although the Kings had problems at the beginning of the new season, they still have the level of strength in the semifinals of the Western Theater. The Kings currently have 6 players in double figures, even Webber and Stoyakovich. Qi and Bibby each scored more than 20 points. Their state is not a problem at all, and their state is even very hot.

As for who is the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the league, it is undoubtedly the Suns. Even if the Suns lose tonight, it is only a one-goal difference. However, facing other teams, the Suns have Over 100 points in a single game, stable offensive firepower output. "

Kenny Smith nodded, took over the topic and said: "You are very reasonable. The Suns are indeed the team with the most offensive firepower. Tonight, the reason why the Suns played so inextricably against the Kings is that Richardson is the biggest hero. He actually played 35 minutes and only contributed 2 points. He made 7 of 0 shots and 5 of 0 three-pointers. Even if Richardson made a three-pointer, the Suns would not would be so passive.

You must know that Richardson averaged 15.6 points per game in the new season. His scoring weapon was completely misfired tonight.

Okay, don't say so much, please continue to watch the game, now both teams have the last attack, let's see how the Kings play first? "

Back from the timeout, the Kings had the ball, and Bibby served from the sideline. He didn't rush to attack. It seemed that he wanted to hit the success rate.

In the positional battle, the Kings are still in the classic 1-2-2 position, Weber's high-level organization supports, and other players wait for the opportunity to look for offensive opportunities.

On the left flank, Stojakovic suddenly started, made a reverse run, cut to the basket, and Joe Johnson followed closely, not easily getting rid of it.

At this time, Brad Miller stepped up from the low post to cover the wall. Stojakovic turned back and ran back, hitting east and west, and ran to the outside of the three-point line.

When Joe Johnson also turned back to chase, he bumped into Brad Miller with a bang, allowing Stojakovic to get an open three-pointer.

65 degrees on the left is still a hotspot for Stojakovic's three-pointer!

This three-point tactic is also exclusive to Stojakovic.

Stoudemire saw through the tactics of the Kings. His foot speed was good, and he quickly rushed to switch to Stojakovic.

Joe Johnson also circled the defense and wanted to rush back, but Brad Miller, who was covering the pick-and-roll, did not stand still, turned and rushed to the basket.

Just as Webber was about to pass the ball to the wing, his eyes lit up and he immediately hoisted the basketball to the basket.

Amidst the screams and screams of the fans, Brad Miller easily caught the ball, dunked under the basket, and hit the basketball into the basket.

109 to 112! !
The Princeton system of the Kings is still showing its charm at the last moment, Webb!The soul of the Kings, also at this moment, showed his brilliant offensive inspiration and assisted his teammates to easily dunk.

At this time, with 24 seconds left before the game, Lin Bai's three-pointer was very eye-catching, and D'Antoni arranged to play, replacing Richardson who felt cold.

Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but was closely guarded by Bibby. Lin Bai was taken care of by the defensive master Christie, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Marion pulled to the outside to cover Joe Johnson, who was also blocked by Weber. The Suns' three-point tactics had no chance at all. Nash decisively went inside when the time was halfway up, and made a jump shot at the free throw line. Unexpectedly, At the critical moment, tonight's mid-range shot was accurate, 14 of 11 shots, 8 of 5 three-pointers, 29 points, and Nash, who never missed a 2-pointer, actually hit the iron.

Although Stoudemire desperately grabbed the rebound, but wanted to pass the ball to the outside to shoot a three-pointer, he was decisively fouled by Brad Miller and sent to the free throw line.

At the free throw line, Stoudemire made two free throws steadily and fixed his score to 29 points.

The Suns are also 111 to 112, only 1 point behind, but the time is only 12 seconds, but the ball is still in the hands of the Kings.

The Suns could only foul and send Christie to the free throw line. Amid the boos, Christie made 1 of two free throws, leaving the Suns with a chance to win.

With 11 seconds left, the Suns were 111 to 113, only 2 points behind, a three-pointer could kill the Kings, and the opponent didn't even have a chance to resist.

The Suns didn't have a chance to time out, Nash quickly advanced the frontcourt, Bibby was pressing all over the court, and other three-point shooting points were also blocked, Nash passed the best pass of the night, which can be called a stroke of genius.

At the top of the three-point line, he passed the ball sideways with his back. There was a clear slap, and the basketball hit the floor and bounced. Everyone was stunned and flew to the low post on the left. Spherical frame, this is a must-goal opportunity.

Marion also thought so at the time, if he took a step, and then jumped up and dunked.

However, there are no such words in this world. Marion, who caught the ball easily at the time, thought that the attack time was up, and without thinking about it, he immediately pulled the ball and shot quickly.

His ugly shooting posture is even uglier, but if the ball is hit, his unattractive shooting still can't stop him from becoming a hero.

There was a sound of iron striking.

Marion heard the icy voice. What was unforgivable was not the missed shot, but that there were still 4 seconds before the time ran out after he made the shot.

Joe Johnson rushed out from the three-point line, grabbed the rebound, and shot the basketball quickly. The whistle for the end of the game had just sounded.

As a result of the whole game, the Phoenix Suns failed to make a lore and could not drag the game to overtime. With a difference of 111 to 113 and 2 points, they lost in the most powerful game in the league. The Sacramento Kings defeated Weber Together with Stojakovic, the firepower was fully fired, and he had the last laugh. He was thrilled and couldn't win the game, ending the Suns' 5-game winning streak.
