Chapter 321 Battle Supersonic

After defeating the Dallas Mavericks, while the Phoenix Suns won three consecutive victories, they also heard good news the next day. The Spurs lost again, first to the Wizards Trident, and then to the Heat.

Therefore, the Phoenix Suns currently regain the top spot in the regular season with a record of 39 wins and 11 losses.

The Spurs lost to the Eastern Conference one after another, with a record of 36 wins and 12 losses, only half a game away, behind the Suns, ranking second in the regular season.

However, the next opponent of the Phoenix Suns is not easy to deal with. In the next game, the Suns will face the Seattle SuperSonics, which has a record of 34 wins and 13 losses and ranks third in the regular season.

As long as the Phoenix Suns repel the Supersonics as they wish, they can stabilize their top position. Maybe the Suns will improve their status and play the best situation.

Now the battle for the top spot in the regular season is very intense and fierce.

At present, the Suns have 11 losses, the Spurs have 12 losses, the Sonics have 13 losses, and the Heat have 14 losses. All four teams have a chance to compete for the top spot.

The match between the Phoenix Suns and the Seattle Supersonics can be said to have a great impact on the championship.

If the Suns win, maybe the Suns will soar into the sky, and no one can hold back his progress.

However, if the Suns lose and the Supersonics hold back the Suns, then the four teams will soon fall into a melee.

They are only two and a half games away from each other. It can be said that everyone has a chance.

Although the Phoenix Suns have won three consecutive victories, the state is very hot, and they are waiting for work at home, facing back-to-back Supersonics. Theoretically, the Suns have all the advantages.

However, before the game, media reporters only regarded this game as a six-fourth game, and the Suns accounted for [-]%.

The Sonics are not easy to mess with. They are back to the field and away from home. However, they fought a fierce battle with the Kings in the last game and defeated their opponents, winning a wave of four consecutive victories.

The state is even better than the Suns, and the morale of the Sonics is very high, and they have a strong fighting spirit.

It is not easy for the Suns to win against the Sonics. Maybe they will give the Suns a hard blow and slow down the Suns.

On February 2005, 2, at 11:9 in the evening, the Phoenix Suns will play against the Seattle SuperSonics at the American West Arena.

After warming up with a simple layup shot, the starters of both sides lined up and came to the middle circle of the basketball court. The game began with a scrimmage.

The Suns starting five are relatively fixed, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Sean Marion, center Amar Ray Stoudemire.

The starting five for the Sonics are point guard Luke Ridnour, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Reggie Evans, power forward Rashad Lewis, and center Jerome James.

beep!
A crisp whistle sounded.

The referee casually threw the basketball in his hand high into the sky, and the game officially started.

Although Jerome James is inferior to Stoudemire in terms of physical talent, Jerome James can still beat Stoudemire by virtue of his height advantage and transfer the basketball to Luc Crednor.

With long legs, Lucidno increased his speed very quickly. With a clear slap in the frontcourt, he passed the basketball to the inside Ray Allen in an air cut. With one step, Ray Allen went straight up in three steps. The basket, jumped up from the basket, made a pick in the air, and sent the basketball into the basket steadily at close range, scoring two points.

2 to 0! !
Ray Allen used his superb off-the-ball running skills, as well as top-level physical fitness and physical speed, to throw off Joe Johnson's defense in an instant, and succeeded in attacking the basket, taking the lead.

Looking back, the Suns were attacking. After receiving Marion's fast shot from the baseline, Nash immediately picked up his speed and rushed to the frontcourt. He didn't intend to slow down by half a point. He directly changed direction with a cross step, accelerated with his feet, and rushed to the three-point line Inside.

Although Lucidno's speed is good, closely following Nash's footsteps, however, as Nash marched, he dribbled the ball directly, shot the basketball from the right to the left, and took a big step.

Lucidno didn't give an inch, and desperately turned back to chase, but Nash's offensive talent was brilliant, and he immediately used a Buddha-like fake move to shake away Lucidno's defense, and made a false shot. Use your right foot to break through.

Pulling the ball and waving a shot, after Jerome James' supplementary defense, Nash hit the basket, jumped up, dodged in the air, and after avoiding Lewis' defense, he hooked his right hand, and the basketball spun and flew to the basket. As if he had eyes, he wiped the backboard obediently, got into the basket, and scored two points.

2 to 2! !
Nash's offensive talent is outstanding. Faced with a strong offense and a weak defense, Luc Crednour, who is still a rookie, will naturally not be soft-hearted, and he easily played for the Suns' offense and returned the color.

Offensive and defensive transition, Supersonic offense, Luc Credno dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Lewis pulled to the high position, and played a pick-and-roll with Luc Credno.

The Suns are defending misplaced. Although Lucidno has good offensive ability, but facing Marion who can defend the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positions, he knows that it is not much advantage for him to single out Marion with his misplacement. .

So he directly assigned the basketball to Lewis.

Big and small, Lewis has a good mid-range shooting ability, and almost without any consideration, Lewis faced Nash's defense and directly shot a two-point jumper.

Although Nash tried his best to rush forward and stretch out his hands to interfere, he knew that this level of defense was useless to Lewis.

Nash's defense just proves that he is trying to defend!
Lewis stretched his body in the air, shook his right hand, and the basketball flew away, drawing a full moon-like arc in the air.

There was a crisp sound of wiping the net.

The white net was overflowing, Lewis raised the knife and hit the bull's-eye with precision, and the two-pointer hit the net.

4 to 2! !
Lewis is 206cm tall. If his mid-range shot cannot be polished, he will be in a dubious situation. This is why he set the record for the longest time in the small green house in the draft.

It's just that, I didn't expect that Lewis would perform well enough to use the strength of an All-Star pitcher to respond to the plight of being ignored.

In this period, Lewis is in the rising period of his basketball career, and his offensive firepower has not disappointed.

The Suns attacked, and after Nash received the ball, he still chose to speed up and push and run.

It's just that the waves created by the Suns' orange storm are too strong. As the opponents of the Suns, how can the Suns make a 7-second run?
Lucidno used his impressive speed to lay directly in front of Nash, delaying Nash's advance speed.

In the positional battle, Nash played diamond tactics. After the players settled down, he immediately stepped down and dribbled continuously, holding the ball in the middle to break through Lucidno.

In the horn area, he played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, and Nash was directly flanked by Luc Credno and Reggie Evans.

Nash's face remained unmoved, he took a dribble and took a step back, opened the distance with the defender, and immediately pulled the ball up...
