Chapter 381 Defeating Utah
The game started in the second quarter, both sides replaced the substitute lineup, Lin Bai, Barbosa and Dior replaced.

The Jazz replaced Harprin, Humphries and Devin Brown.

At the beginning of the game, both sides played very anxiously, and the offensive efficiency was not high.

Barbosa used his speed to break through and get to the basket to score points, but his ability to organize and pass the ball was mediocre, and the Suns' offensive firepower could not be raised.

Lin Bai didn't make many calls, and hit a three-pointer and an air cut two-pointer.

Dior's position is not clear, he can only pass the ball, but he doesn't score.

With Nash and Marion back on the court, the Suns' offense improved, but only reached 23 points in a single quarter.

Fortunately, the Jazz's offensive firepower is not open, without the presence of Deron and Boozer, only relying on Kirilenko's individual singles, but the most powerful pick-and-roll cooperation cannot be played, and naturally cannot open the scoring account.

After the second quarter, neither side could do anything to their opponents, and it was just a tie.

23 to 23! !
At the end of the first half, the Jazz relied on their performance in the first quarter to enter the second half with 50 to 45 points from the Suns.

Back in the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and the main players of the two teams all returned to the field.

D'Antoni made a lineup change, replacing Lin Bai with Garabel, and Diaw at the small forward.

After all, compared to Jones who can only defend, although Diaw's offensive firepower is not very strong, he can pass the ball and play very smartly.

Lin Bai's three-pointer is eye-catching. Compared with Garabel who can only defend, Lin Bai is more suitable for his running and bombing tactics.

The game started in the third quarter, and the Suns had the ball to attack first.

Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, came to an outside screen with Lin Bai, passed the ball hand-to-hand to Lin Bai, and blocked Girisek.

Lin Bai was one step away from the three-point line, without any hesitation, he pulled up the ball directly, and made a three-pointer with a jumper.

Fatty Delong didn't react and didn't switch defenses in time. He watched Lin Bai jump up, and with a flick of his right hand, the basketball drew a full moon arc in the air.

Swish! !

Lin Bai's three-pointer shot up and down, hit the basket with precision, pierced through the heart, and the white net flowers overflowed.

50 to 48! !
The Jazz attack, Sloan dribbles to the frontcourt, and Boozer plays a pick-and-roll.

Nash and Marion took advantage of their speed and immediately pinched Deron. Lin Bai also let go of his defense and rushed forward to encircle him.

Facing the defense of the three, Deron is not yet rich in experience, especially Marion's defensive ability is top defense, and his feet move quickly. He wants to pass the ball to Boozer but it is too late.

He could only forcefully jump up to score the ball, and was directly slapped away by Marion.

The basketball did not fly out of the sideline and came to the middle circle of the basketball court.

Like an arrow leaving the string, Lin Bai rushed up and counterattacked quickly.

Grab the basketball, use your feet to make a three-pointer and make a two-pointer, hit the frontcourt, step on the three-point line, step down and dribble directly, and then retreat to the three-point line.

Without any other unnecessary movements, I immediately bent my knees slightly and jumped up lightly. My body bloomed in the air, and my body was very stretched.

With a flick of the wrist, the basketball was released from the fingertips.

Draw a beautiful arc in the air.

Swish! !

There was a crisp netting sound.

The white net was overflowing, Lin Bai felt hot, did not miss the counter-attack three-pointer, hit the basket steadily, and the three-pointer went hollow into the net.

50 to 51! !
The third quarter had just started, and the Suns immediately reversed the score with two three-pointers, giving the Suns a one-point lead.

Next, the Suns still chose to flank Deron.

And Deron's talent is really good, but his experience is still a bit lacking, and his skills are not good enough. Facing the flanking attack, his pass will either be a mistake, or the team's offense will be interrupted.

Half of the pick-and-roll tactics were abolished. It was a little early for him to serve as the team's starting point guard.

Without pick-and-roll cooperation, the end team's offense can only rely on personal offensive firepower.

Okura came out to cover, caught the ball and started firing a three-pointer. He held the basketball without a chance to make a phone call, made a layup with European steps, and rushed to the basket, playing very hard.

However, his touch is not on the line, and his offensive efficiency is not high.

Boozer chose to play Marion in singles. As the defensive face of the Suns, Marion did not disappoint the team. Using top-level defensive skills and strong physical fitness, he withstood Boozer's strong play and prevented his offensive efficiency. drop.

Facing Dior's defense, Kirilenko couldn't open the offense, and the offensive firepower of "AK47" directly misfired.

Girisek's offense can't get any cheap. He is the weakness of the result team, relying too much on the assist ability and touch of his teammates.

Indeed, when his hand feels good, he can make precise hits, but when his hand feels bad, he seems a bit tasteless.

Deron has the reputation of playing Paul with food. As a heavy point guard, he can use his physical strength to bully opponents with insufficient physical resistance.

Nash's physical confrontation is very strong. Since Deron was flanked in the pick-and-roll, he also chose to play Nash directly with the ball.

It's just that his shooting touch is not stable. Although he staggered Nash directly and got the space for his shot, he couldn't steadily send the basketball into the basket to score.

So, Deron began to hit Nash hard and hit the basket to score points. However, Marion and Thomas guarded the inside line. Although they were not physically strong enough, they moved very fast.

The supplementary defense against Deron was in place in a timely manner. Deron's offense has not been able to become his own, and the offensive efficiency is not high.

As a result, the team's offense could not start the situation, and the Suns followed Lin Bai's full firepower at the three-point line, opened up the firepower from the outside, and did not lose the offense from the inside.

Thomas got the offensive space, made a perfect mid-range shot, and did not slow down the Suns' offense.

Diaw faced almost no offensive performance against Kirilenko, but his screens and passing played an important role.

Marion is excellent in defense and very strong in offense. He hits the basket frequently and succeeds. Boozer's offense is no problem, but his defense is still a bit lacking. He can't defend Marion who feels good.

In addition to organizing passes and transporting ammunition, Nash occasionally showed off his offensive skills, which made the Jazz lose focus and retreat steadily.

After the third quarter of the game, the Suns relied on their violent offensive and full offensive firepower, hitting the opponent with a shock wave of 29 to 17, leading the Jazz by 7 points, and entering the final decisive battle in the final quarter.

The game started in the fourth quarter, and the Suns began to play steadily, strengthened their defense, and replaced Garabel and James Jones.

On offense, Nash and Marion almost took over the offensive firepower of the Suns. As the team's first and second leaders, the two performed very competitively and played very tenaciously. They joined forces and scored 16 points without letting the opponent The counterattack was obtained.

Deron's pick-and-roll tactics are not good, and his individual singles are not efficient, so he can only enter the star chaos.

However, although Kirilenko has a very comprehensive style of play, his comprehensive skills will become a player when the team is in trouble and needs him to use strong offensive firepower to reverse the outcome of the game. shortcoming.

After all, what is needed now is his scoring, but, relatively speaking, his offensive scoring still seems a bit mediocre.

The Jazz's offense couldn't start the situation, and they fell into an anxious game with the Suns.

However, the Suns are in a leading position and are not in a hurry, as long as they consume time.

The Jazz want to desperately chase points, but the most powerful weapon, the pick-and-roll coordination, has not been polished. Relying on the personal ability of the stars, it is a little bit less meaningful to leave the superstars.

I can only watch the Suns run out of time and laugh until the end of the game.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns turned away and defeated the Utah Jazz by 97 to 88, 9 points, and won three consecutive victories in the new season, firmly ranking in the league's regular season rankings.
