Chapter 233 Respective offense and defense

The Suns attacked, Nash dribbled to the frontcourt, and the Timberwolves had good mobility, preventing the Suns from speeding up and running.

In the lineup battle, the Suns resorted to diamond tactics, and it was still Nash who organized the ball in the middle to support the offense.

Cassel pressed out and marked Nash.

Marion and Stoudemire pulled to a high position, separated from the left and right horns.

Garnett didn't specifically mark people, but sat in the paint area, covering the defense of the entire basket, and Madsen was close to pestering Marion.

Richardson on the left pulled up to the three-point line, and Szczerbiak cut off his receiving route.

On the right side, Joe Johnson contained the outside line of the Timberwolves, while Sprewell swept on the right side.

Nash made a cross dribble, forced Cassel, and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

Cassell and Madsen immediately pinched Nash, Szczerbiak shrank back on the left and entangled Marion, and Sprewell on the right stared at Joe Johnson without any action.

Garnett on the inside took a step to a higher position, but still firmly guarded the inside.

Facing the pinch of Cassell and Madsen, Nash casually passed the basketball to Stoudemire, took the ball and dribbled it.

Stoudemire wanted to make a mid-range shot, but he was defended by the tough Garnett, who covered Stoudemire overwhelmingly. Garnett's footsteps are clever, quick to respond, tall and long, and his body is explosive. , the strength is very good, in front of Stoudemire, it is as difficult to deal with as a spider man.

Stoudemire, who has almost no post-up singles, can only keep struggling on the spot, trying to find a shot space, but finds that he is directly locked by Garnett, and there is no good chance for a half-point offensive shot.

The basketball can only be divided out, and Nash reorganizes and supports.

The Timberwolves once again returned to their original position and defended toughly, so that the Suns couldn't find a way to open the situation.

Is this a championship-level defense?

Seeing that the Suns had 10 seconds left to attack, Nash didn't hesitate for a moment, and directly took the ball in the middle to single out Kassel, intending to break through with a point.

Kassel's defensive skills and defensive experience are very good. However, his 35-year-old body has greatly reduced his movement speed. Nash decided that Kassel's lateral movement was not fast, and used a large feint , throwing off Cassell's defense, reached the free throw line, pulled the ball up, and a Cavaliers archery shot directly came.

Garnett's movement speed is quite good, and he almost gave Nash a big cap.

Fortunately, Nash's mastery is very extraordinary. He shot very quickly and avoided Garnett's hand to block.

The basketball crossed a very high arc in the air, and after hitting the center of the backboard, it bounced into the frame.

With a clear sound, the basketball got into the basket as if it had eyes, and scored a two-pointer.

2 to 2! !
Although the Timberwolves' defensive quality is good, sealing the Suns' diamond tactics, they still can't stop the Suns from scoring points. Nash succeeded in singles with his personal stunt and returned the color.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Timberwolves attack, Cassel dribbles to the frontcourt, facing Nash's defense, he does not rush to attack, but waits for his teammates to get in position.

Garnett stuck Stoudemire in the low post to the left and reached for the ball.

The all-star pitcher Szczerbiak from the left three-point corner pulled the space, set up a three-point turret on the outside, and supported Garnett. If he double-teamed Richardson, his three-point Dividing the ball is a threat.

On the commentary stage, Barkley had an unhappy expression on his face, complaining about the tactics of the Timberwolves: "Although the Timberwolves have gathered four All-Star players, in the end, they don't have much new ideas in tactics. They only pick up leftovers from others. I didn't expect the Timberwolves to eat with gusto. Isn't this tactical play configuration just like Duncan and Bowen of the Spurs?
However, although the principle of this combination of inside and outside is very simple, it is really not easy to break it. "

Cassel lobs directly to the low post. Garnett is the team's superstar. As long as he singles out his opponent, it is an easy chance to score.

Garnett received the ball with his back, and Stoudemire put up a defensive posture, with his right hand on his waist and his left hand in the air to interfere.

Garnett swayed left and right, and directly rolled his back to the depths of the basket, took a step, suddenly turned around and took a step back, pulled the ball up, bowed and arrowed, and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper.

Garnett has the height of a center, but he is very unwilling to play a center and play inside, and even does not hesitate to falsely report his height.

With a height of more than 211cm, coupled with abnormal arm length, and a little bit of back, he wants to make a mid-range shot, and almost no one can interfere with his shooting.

His shooting point is too high, in this position is equivalent to Durant, the second man in the NBA in the future.

Stoudemire rushed to interfere desperately, which only proved that he worked hard on defense, but the effect was not half effective.

Garnett took the basketball away calmly, his touch was very soft, as smooth as pressing the strings of a piano.

The basketball drew a full moon in the air, and the white net flowers overflowed, and the basketball entered the net in response, piercing through the heart.

4 to 2! !
At the end of the Timberwolves' offense, the Suns did not pause at all, and immediately launched a quick offense, trying to raise the offensive rhythm.

After receiving Marion's fast serve from the baseline, Nash dribbled the ball and accelerated forward with his long legs.

Cassell set up a defense and rushed directly to Nash's forward route. The Suns also responded and used their tactics. Nash and Joe Johnson directly played 2 overs and 1 kicking the wall to cooperate.

Nash pushed the ball to Joe Johnson while running, and accelerated to overtake the oncoming Cassel. Joe Johnson received the ball and passed it back to Nash, and immediately rushed to the frontcourt to run and bomb.

The front court formed a three-on-two, Nash broke through the middle, Sprewell fought and retreated, Nash hit the free throw line with a swipe of his right hand, and there was a clear snap, and then a ground-hitting pass was passed, and the basketball hit the floor After that, it bounces to fly to the periphery.

Outside the three-point line on the left, Richardson got the ball to the frame of the receiving face, without half a point of extra movement, directly pulling the ball, bending his knees and pulling up is a three-point jump shot.

With a knife in hand, the three-pointer fell steadily into the basket, hollowed into the net, and scored a three-pointer.

4 to 5! !
Richardson's three-point shots in the fast running and bombing are getting more and more handy, and he shoots the ball as soon as he catches the ball. There is no trace of hesitation on his face, and he never worries about missing shots.

This style of daring to shoot makes his three-point shots very efficient.

The Timberwolves' ranking lineup originally meant to compete with the Suns on offense, but they also took the initiative to speed up the tempo. If there was a chaotic battle, the Timberwolves' offensive lineup of four All-Stars would definitely be enough for the Suns. Pot of.

However, the mobility of the Suns is good, and the Timberwolves want to speed up and get more offensive space, which is still very limited.

Cassell saw that the fast attack could not be played, so he did not force it, but directly pushed the lineup battle.
