Chapter 319 The Darkness of Defense

After a 15-minute break, the game continued in the second half, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

Although the Suns were behind by 4 points, they had a lot of offensive momentum. D'Antoni naturally didn't want to show this momentum, so he didn't plan to stay strong. With a big wave of his hand, the starting five went straight to the field.

The morale of the Suns was astonishing, and the momentum of chasing points remained undiminished. In order to ensure the final victory, Adelman also played all the best cards in his hand and went all out.

The game started in the third quarter, and the Kings had the ball first.

Mike Bibby dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, did not wait for it to settle, and directly cooperated with Webb in a pick-and-roll.

Covering the offensive space, Bibby didn't hesitate at all, he directly drew the bow and set the arrow, opened his hand to shoot a two-point jumper and shot back.

Swish! !

As a player with a big heart, the most important thing is not to have a frighteningly accurate shooting rate, but to feel stable enough.

Bibby's mid-range shot was accurate, his style of play was calm, and he successfully completed this attack and scored two points.

60 to 66! !
Looking back, the Suns offense was also very stable. After the diamond tactic was completed, Marion ran back and cut to the basket. Nash saw the needle and accurately sent the basketball to Marion.

After catching the ball easily, Marion jumped up from the basket, made a lob in the air, and stably picked the basketball into the hoop, just like a layup training, and scored two points easily.

62 to 66! !
Immediately afterwards, the Suns and Kings were not playing complex tactics, but simple targeted offenses.

All teams are aware of the flaws in the Suns' defense. Nash's strong offense and defensive attributes, Stoudemire's height and strength confrontation, and of course, the thickness of the bench, also rely too much on touch and offensive rhythm.

Listing out the problems of the Suns one by one, the strategy of attacking the Suns immediately emerged. Just a pick-and-roll can displace and single out Nash. Webber is a superstar who has made a name for himself as a point forward, and his personal singles ability is unsolvable. , Now facing the existence of Nash, the defensive loophole.

His offense was almost one-on-one, and Nash had no temper at all.

If the Suns attack, Webber's pass assist ability will make the Suns lose sight of the other, which is a headache.

Bibby and Webber teamed up and took turns playing Nash. The offense was very simple, but the effect was very good.

Webber scored 10 points in a single quarter, and Bibby could also score 8 points. He used Nash as a cash machine and kept taking points from Nash without leaving a trace of friendship.

Nash was targeted by non-stop attacks without a trace of expression on his face. He was also very competitive and exerted his strength on offense. Start attacking.

After Nash and Stoudemire pick-and-roll, if the Kings are misplaced to defend, Nash can show off his skills and attack Brad Miller with a small attack. However, Nash is also very active in passing the ball to Stoudemire. Well, let Stoudemire teach Bibby how to behave.

Of course, when Stoudemire played against Bibby, Weber could only let go of Marion's defense and assist Stoudemire in defense to block Stoudemire's offense.

However, Nash's organizational support and vision are top-notch, directly delivering the ammunition to Marion's hands.

As a result, Marion got an easy layup and scored 9 points in a single quarter. Nash sometimes attacked Bibby and sometimes shot Brad Miller, and also scored 7 points. Against the attack.

The Princeton system of the Kings sounds very bluffing. Every player can pass, shoot, and run. It is indeed very good offensively.

You can get easy shots and layups, but the defense is a bit bad.

The Kings' inside defense and outside defense are also not that good, and they are often targeted by opponents, which is also the reason why the Kings have not been far in the playoffs.

The two teams seemed to be facing each other's weaknesses, playing non-stop, simple and deadly offense with great joy, and no one could do anything to the opponent.

Of course, simple offense is the main course, and the side dishes are also very lively.

The Kings' Princeton system tactics played an efficient offense, and the Suns' 7-second run and bomb and diamond tactics also played well.

In the third quarter, both sides played what they wanted. Although both sides could score points, they played very anxiously. The score increased day by day, but the gap could not be widened.

After the third quarter of the game, the two sides played a square autumn, and it was a tie with 30 to 30.

The fourth quarter kicked off, the Suns took the lead among the substitute players and began to show off. Barbosa used his speed, like holding a pack of dynamite, to break through directly inside.

With lightning-like speed, he will be fouled almost as soon as he touches it. If he doesn't stop him, Barbosa can go straight to the basket and score the basketball easily.

The Suns did not open up their three-pointers. Lin Bai did not insist on three-pointers, but actually shot two-pointers with a higher percentage.

With the strength of the Suns, the comparison between the two sides is approaching and overtaking back.

The head coach of the Kings is no longer indifferent, and began to take the lead in removing the substitute players, admitting that the Kings' substitute players are not as strong as the Suns.

In fact, in the past few seasons, it was very difficult to happen to the Kings. They were often the bench players of the Kings, exhausting the strength of the starters to force the opponent to take the lead.

The starting five Tigers of the Kings returned to the court early, although they played brilliant offensive firepower on offense.

Bloom more points, play a smooth offensive offensive, and show a strong offensive talent.

Unfortunately, compared to the wonderful offensive firepower, the Kings' defensive ability is bleak.

Originally, the Kings' point guard and center positions had fatal defensive loopholes, and were repeatedly targeted by opponents.

However, the Kings' flank defense still has a certain strength. Stojakovic's physical talent is limited, and there is a situation of nonsense, but Stojakovic's defense is very active.

Although the physical confrontation is a bit weak, it has not become a flaw in the defense of Rui, and his strength is at a medium level.

As for Doug Christie, he was just a fig leaf for the Kings defense.

Although Christie's data is not obvious and his style of play is unpretentious, he is a player who can really defend the Kings.

But the Kings used him as a bargaining chip in exchange for Mobley, who was strong offensively and weak defensively.

Yes, in terms of scoring statistics, Mobley is indeed better than Christie, averaging 18.6 points per game, and looks like a third-rate All-Star.

However, Mobley scored a few more points than Christie's, but it could not make up for the points lost on defense.

If the Kings want to win, they can only attack desperately and spend more energy desperately on offense.

As for the defense, the Kings no longer expect anything, they just want to use more offensive firepower to directly knock down the opponent before their defense line collapses.
