Chapter 255 Chapter 240 Four Respective Efforts

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

The Sonics have the ball to attack first. Ridnour dribbles to the frontcourt and distributes the ball to Ray Allen on the right to attack.

Catch the ball in front of the frame, lift the ball over the top, stand with your feet together, bend your knees and lift your body up, making a three-point shooting posture.

Joe Johnson didn't dare to give Ray Allen an easy three-point shot, so he immediately jumped up and stretched out his hand to interfere, pulling the ball down, Ray Allen got short, exerted force with his feet, and immediately broke through to the inside.

In the Niujiao area, without any hesitation, he immediately drew his bow and set up an arrow, opened his hand for a two-pointer and made an emergency stop jumper.

Swish!
There was a crisp netting sound.

The two-point ball hit the net, and the white net flower overflowed, and there was a burst of white spray.

As soon as the third quarter opened, Ray Allen stood up and used his precise mid-range shooting skills to score consecutive points and bombard the Suns' defense indiscriminately.

At this moment, the nickname "Cold Grenade" sounds a little cold, but at this moment, it is vividly reflected.

The more critical the moment, the more fierce Ray Allen's fighting spirit was. Although his face was still cold, there was a fire hidden in his heart.

Ray Allen, who is naturally low-key, knows that this game is very critical, and it may determine whether he can win the fate of this season's regular season MVP, or even the honor of his entire career.

It's not easy for a player to meet once, even if Ray Allen's face is unmoved, he will definitely not give up this hard-won opportunity easily in his heart.

Ray Allen was very active, making frequent mid-range shots to score points in the offense, and he did not spare any effort in defense.

Head coach McMillan said that he wanted to compete with the Suns on offense, but Ray Allen could not lower his requirements on the defensive end, and even strengthened his defense.

It's just that I hope to work harder and not let myself feel regretful in the future.

Offensively, Ray Allen showed his housekeeping skills to the fullest, with superb off-ball running skills, and accurate mid-range shots to the millimeter.

There are very few singles with the ball, using his body speed and skills to forcefully rush to the basket, carrying the defense, and scoring the basketball, allowing the opponent to appreciate his top physical talent.

Even when needed, Xiu Yi showed off his post-up singles skills, taking advantage of the falsehood and physical strength, crushing the defense, reaching the basket, and dunking the basketball firmly into the basket.

In addition to relentlessly attacking the Suns' defense on offense, he also strengthened the defensive level in defense, running relentlessly, fighting for every ball, fierce scrambling actions, and doing everything possible in defense to destroy the Suns team attack.

He is really not afraid of losing. He obviously has good strength, but he is very low-key. It is not that he does not want to win. He is an activist and puts all his efforts on the basketball court. The only thing he is afraid of is losing. , but did not do their best.

Under the leadership of Ray Allen on both offense and defense, the Sonics played very focused and desperately. After Ray Allen broke out, Lewis also worked very hard. He also wanted to succeed, and wanted to stand on the highest stage. Look at the time when he underestimated him. People, the expression on the face will definitely be wonderful.

That's right, his situation may fall into the embarrassment of a dubious position, and he will not be able to play his own strength.

However, this positional swing can be seen as a disadvantage, or it can become his advantage, or even his weapon.

In the low post on the left, facing Marion's defense, Lewis began to use his physical advantage to single out his opponent.

First, take the three-point shot outside the ball frame and put on a three-threat pose.

Using the probing step as a cover, he protruded his right foot upwards and tried to break through. He is in the fourth position and has the speed that other players do not have.

Therefore, the defender must block his footsteps and prevent Lewis from breaking through.

At this time, as soon as the defender's center of gravity shifted, Lewis's offensive opportunity came.

Quickly withdraw his feet, take a step back, pull the ball directly, and then shoot a three-point jump shot backwards. His release point is very high. The most important thing is that his shooting touch is very soft, and his shooting percentage is also quite high. Can make three-pointers into the basket.

This attack with three threats can be said to be tried and tested repeatedly, and it has become his signature offensive method.

In addition to the three-pointer attack, his low-post singles methods are very monotonous, that is, swaying with his back, using flexible feet and fast speed to find space for shooting, and then his mid-range shooting ability can harvest points.

In terms of offense, Lewis will only play the role of a shooter, and the offense with the ball is almost meaningless. However, with his good touch, he can still show off his brilliant offensive talents.

Defensively, Lewis, who has not been affected by knee injuries, has not been targeted by small forwards in terms of speed. After all, his physical talent is not bad and his athletic ability is not bad.

As for strength, Marion also has top strength, but obviously the tonnage is not enough to crush Lewis.

Lewis, who wanted to hold back the Suns' progress, was also desperate. He dared to resist Marion's post-up singles on the inside, and on the outside, Lewis naturally took advantage of his height and speed. At most, he could only run without the ball. A bit of a pain in the ass.

However, Lewis did not back down. Since he couldn't keep up with Marion's running skills, he stalked and entangled with Marion with his body to prevent him from getting rid of easily.

The double star of the Supersonics shines and plays again. Lewis and Ray Allen are desperate. The other teams of the Supersonics will naturally use their lives and grit their teeth to fight the Suns desperately.

Radmanovich is the Sonics' third gun, and he can also provide frequent fire support when Lewis and Ray Allen attract all the defensive energy.

He is a player who is strong offensively and defensively weak. He has a good mid-range shooting ability, prevents opponents from easily letting go, and serves as a check for the team's core players. If there is an opportunity to attack and shoot, he is also very determined. The efficiency is also quite high.

Although let Radmanovich play center, defending Stoudemire is a bit difficult, but fortunately, he has rich experience and has never let Stoudemire catch the ball.

If Stoudemire catches the ball, he is also very tough on defense. Even if his physical talent is too far from Stoudemire, he would rather pay for a foul and send Stoudemire to the delivery line than give Stoudemire Tadmire's chance to dunk at the basket.

Although this can't stop Stoudemire from scoring, it can at least increase Stoudemire's physical exertion.

Ridnour also worked very hard, but it still couldn't change the result that he was blown up by Nash.

In addition to his contribution in the first quarter, in the next game time, Nash adapted to Ridnour's offensive rhythm, and his shooting skills were lost.

Even if he avoids a strong shot, it is his fate to hit the iron in the end, and more often he dribbles the ball across the half court, stretches the space on one side after passing the ball, and then runs back and forth.

The offense is not strong, and the organization and passing are also very strong, so they can only spend a lot of effort on defense.

However, he was facing Nash. Such a top opponent was not something he could restrict, so Nash could naturally kill him.

However, Nash's offensive desire is not strong. Even if D'Antoni told him before the game that the outcome of this game is closely related to his competition for the MVP of the regular season, Nash is still calm and plays the game according to the rhythm he is most familiar with and handy. Because of personal honor, the style has changed drastically.

This kind of Nash is quite terrifying. His teammates can give full play to their offensive talents, and Ridnour can breathe a sigh of relief.

The so-called dead friends don't die poor people, Nash does not attack by force, but instead transports ammunition, his defensive pressure is greatly reduced, and as for his teammates' defenses being breached, he is helpless.

Reggie Els plays a soy sauce role in offense. You can't expect him to play a stunning offense. If picking up leaks is also an offensive ability, Els has only this offensive method.

Watching his teammates perform offensively, he looked for opportunities to make up shots from time to time. In the first quarter, when the Suns were not familiar with him, Els brought a lot of surprises offensively.

However, when his trick was debunked, Evans was completely guarded and had no effect on offense.

Defensively, Evans seemed to have changed another person. Richardson rained three-pointers under his main defense and was forced to put it away, and there were not many offensive opportunities.

Evans' close guarding, spare no effort to defend, and wipe the ass of his teammates made the Suns' offense a headache.

The misfiring of the offensive power on the flanks prevented the Suns' offensive firepower from being violent. Fortunately, Evans' defensive style, in other words, was stared at beyond the three-point line and could not move.

The inside of the Suns also got more space to perform, and the pick-and-roll cooperation between Nash and Stoudemire became the main offensive method.

The Suns' diamond tactics played well. After the pick-and-roll, Stoudemire performed bravely, and the offense was unstoppable. He frequently rushed to the basket to create threats. Not too ugly.

There is also Joe Johnson as a reliable scoring point on the outside. Even if Ray Allen desperately defends, Joe Johnson's personal singles offense can still tear through Ray Allen's defense and provide fire support for the Suns.

Although the Suns' offensive line has an inside and an outside offensive strength to score points, the Suns' 7-second run and gun was suppressed, and they did not score a whirlwind fast hit, and the offensive rhythm could not be raised.

Fortunately, Nash, the field control master, is supporting the organization so that the Suns' offense will not get out of control.

Moreover, in the first half, D'Antoni desperately used the starting five tigers to chase points, and his physical strength was a little weak, so he could only rotate.

Barbossa and Lindbergh get a chance to play.

Barbosa's lightning-like impact and Lin Bai's precise three-pointer shot allowed the Suns to cling to the Supersonics' score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics played tenaciously, 24 to 23, and opened the score of the two sides by 1 point.

81 to 78! !
The difference between the two teams is still one goal, and the two sides played almost evenly.
