Chapter 55 Stoudemire's Provocation
At the start of the fourth quarter, Tang Shuai issued a death order to prevent the Suns from getting any chance to easily shoot a three-pointer.

After all, the Suns were too accurate in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, so if the Suns voted, the Lakers would definitely lose.

The Lakers players didn't dare to neglect, they defended one by one, and strictly guarded against their opponents.

This tactic actually limited the Suns' three-pointers, but made Stoudemire overwhelming in the paint, unstoppable.

In the third grade, Stoudemire is actually very rough at the basket, and his post-up skills are almost non-existent.

But with the series connection of Nash, he gave full play to his beast-like physical fitness.

(Chinese fans call Stoudemire Xiaobawang, while North American fans prefer to call him Beast.)
Every time Stoudemire bombed the basket in the air, the old Grant was powerless and could only sigh.

In fact, don't say that Grant is old, even when he was young, he couldn't defend against Stoudemire's type of insider, and the impact was too strong.

On the Lakers side, Kobe felt cold again, starting with 4 of 1 shots.

The Suns made an 8:2 offensive and successfully widened the point difference.

79: 85.

Beep beep!

Tang Shuai called a timeout.

"Odom, Ye, you two are inside partners."

In the past, it would be impossible for the old-school Tang Shuai to use such an unreal combination of insiders.

But the last game against the Rockets gave him inspiration. When the opponent's inside line cannot be restricted, the effect of this combination is quite good.

Tang Shuai is much better than little Fan Shuai (Jeff Van Gundy). They are both old-school coaches, but Tang Shuai can still be flexible.

"Kobe, you are the leader of the team!"

After arranging the team's tactics, Tang Shuai approached Kobe alone: ​​"But the way to help the team is not just to score, you should understand!"

Tang Shuai said this very artistically. He first affirmed Kobe's status in the team, and then he expressed his request.

In this way, Kobe can feel enough trust that he will not have conflicting thoughts in his heart.

Otherwise, if you come up and ask for it, do you think Kobe will be obedient, even if he is a champion coach?Kobe himself already has three championships.

"OK!"

Kobe nodded. He is a strong head, but he is not stupid. He understands that his hand feeling is really bad today. He made 20 of 6 shots in the first three quarters and 4 of 1 in the fourth quarter.

The game continued, and the five Lakers all stood on the outside and opened up, allowing Kobe to attack with the ball.

Stoudemire fell in the low post and found that the Lakers didn't even have a center, so he didn't know who to guard for a while.

Kobe had sharp eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball to Ye Heping, who was left unattended.

Richardson rushed to defend, but was obviously a step too late.Even if it wasn't too late, it would be difficult for him to interfere with Ye Heping's shooting. There was a gap in height and wingspan between the two sides.

Swish!
Ye Heping raised his knife and dropped it, hitting a mid-range shot.

81: 85.

De Antoni yelled dissatisfiedly: "Amare, guard your own people, don't give that guy a chance."

That guy was naturally referring to Ye Heping.

In fact, De Antoni wrote in the tactical manual before the game: Ye Heping has a very accurate mid-range shot, with a hit rate of more than 50%, and he is comparable to Juwan Howard when he is open.

But obviously, Stoudemire didn't read the tactical manual carefully, or even read it.

In his impression, Ye Heping might still be the rookie in the preseason who only knew how to defend but didn't dare to make a move.

The Suns attacked, Stoudemire received a pass while running, and Ye Heping was just a dunk.

81: 87.

With the addition of the basketball talent tree, Ye Heping's talent is still good.But in the face of Stoudemire's Fauvism, it is still too far away.

The most fundamental problem is that Stoudemire is different from Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's movement speed is slow, and the defensive effect of using the circle around the front is very good.

But Stoudemire runs fast, and with a top organizer like Nash giving the ball, it is difficult to prevent Stoudemire from receiving the ball.

In addition, Yao Ming is the core, defend him and win.The core of the Suns is Nash. Although Stoudemire is important, it is not the most important.

After landing, Xiaosi punched the sky, then turned his head and roared at Ye Heping with fierce eyes.

Ye Heping was a little confused, why did Stoudemire yell at him, because he made a mid-range shot just now?
It seems that there is no need for this.

At this time, Atkins came over and said, "Stoudemire has always been dissatisfied with Yao Ming, thinking that Yao Ming robbed him of the No. [-] pick, and you and Yao Ming are fellow villagers, so..."

So it is hating the house and the black, and blaming yourself?
Ye Heping asked with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Stoudemire should have been selected by the Suns with the ninth overall pick. Even without Yao Ming, he would have been the eighth overall pick. Is it possible that the ninth overall pick = No. [-]?"

Atkins looked strange: "Is your brain circuit a bit strange, and this is what you pay attention to? Aren't you angry?"

"angry?"

Ye Heping shook his head and strode forward.

Some emotions do not need to be expressed in words, actions are everything.

Kobe held the ball in the frontcourt, and Ye Pingping floated near the three-point line.

Stoudemire naturally pulled it out to guard against Ye Heping's vacancy.

"Boy, go back to your hometown! I heard that people there like to play something called table tennis. Basketball is a man's sport, so it's not suitable for you."

"By the way, bring back that trash of Yao Ming with gigantism."

"In front of me, you can't score 1 point, you can't grab 1 rebound."

As soon as Stoudemire came over, he just spat out trash talk.

Ye Ping glanced at Xiao Si coldly, turned around and ran away.

Ye Heping will not just listen to Xiao Si's trash talk here obediently, if you don't make me comfortable, I won't make you comfortable either.

Come, run with me!

I'd like to see if you can get me nothing.

In terms of speed, Stoudemire is certainly not as good as Ye Heping, and it is a bit difficult to run.

But if it is released, Stoudemire can't let Ye Heping score or grab rebounds with the water thrown out.

Stoudemire gritted his teeth and followed Ye Heping.

On the other side, Kobe saw Stoudemire walking out of the basket, an accelerated breakthrough directly.

Richardson, who had suffered a serious injury, was powerless and could only watch Kobe get rid of him and go straight to the basket.

Marion and Joe Johnson rushed to cover the defense, blocking Kobe but leaving Odom and Butler unguarded.

Kobe made a pass behind the back, and Butler, who sneaked in, caught the ball and went straight up.

It was obviously too late for Marion and Joe Johnson to defend.

Bang!
Butler dunked with both hands and slammed the ball into the basket.

83: 87.

It wasn't until then that Stoudemire woke up from chasing Ye Heping. Did the Lakers score?
Stoudemire is a standard insider no matter how weak his defense is. With a height of 211 cm, he has great deterrence at the basket.

And Marion is only 201 cm, some things are irreparable, no matter how actively Marion defends.

He is an excellent wing gate, but he will never replace Stoudemire.

When Stoudemire walked out of the basket, the sun's inside line was like a sieve, allowing the Lakers to invade.

De Antoni was also a little confused. He knew that the Lakers used this lineup when they played against the Rockets, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. After all, the systems of the Suns and the Rockets are completely different.

But when he actually met, he realized how powerful this lineup was.

Stoudemire is the sun's inside barrier, but at this moment he has to pull it out, wasting energy by running with Ye Heping.
