I can't be a basketball god

Chapter 121 Underestimated Defense!

"This speed, this body, Stoudemire can play, that is a certainty.

He could be a superstar if he gets his shot right.

In terms of physical talent, it is simply unparalleled..."

On the court, the Heat attacked, and Alston, who dared not make any more waves, honestly handed over the basketball to Butler to face Hardaway.

Butler's body broke through explosively, and sure enough, Hardaway, who had been uninjured, was passed.

It is completely crushed by physical talent. If it is just to fight for skills, Hardaway can still compete with Butler with his rich experience.

Now I can only watch Butler go inside, pull the ball up, raise his hand for two points and make an emergency stop jump shot...

Boom-!
Butler was in good form and missed the shot.

The basketball was slapped out by Odom, and Jones grabbed the basketball and immediately pulled it up.

After throwing a shot, a basketball, and hitting the backboard, he got into the net precisely.

37 to 33! !
"The Suns attack, and Barbosa accelerates to the basket, hits the ground, and sends the ball to the left.

bang.

Stoudemire ate the cake, dunked with both hands, scored again..."

At this time, Barbosa seems to be full of organizational talents, no way, his speed is too fast, and Alstom's defensive strength is too poor.

Once his speed is displayed, Alston can only parry it.

The cooperation of Stoudemire and Barbosa played the taste of Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll tactics in the future.

Although Stoudemire's mid-range shot is not effective, and Barbosa's organization is too general, it cannot be compared with Nash, but it can't be helped, Odom's basket protection is not good, and Alston's defense is not on the table.

Therefore, the Heat were actually under pressure, especially the shooting state has dropped a lot.

More than half of the second quarter was offensive, and the score between the two sides became 40 to 43. Seeing that the point difference between the two sides was evened out, in the end, it became the lagging side again.

The head coach of the Heat, Stan Van Gundy, couldn't sit still anymore. With a big wave of his hand, Ye Feng and Wade were replaced.

As for the Suns, adjustments were also being made, with Marbury and Marion playing again.

Next, the Suns had a thick lineup and began to gradually show off their power.

18 to 26! !
In the second quarter, the underestimated defense of the Suns finally caused the Heat a big loss.

Wade made all his shots in the first quarter. As a result, he made 3 of 0 shots. Then, Alston made 3 of 0 shots, Haslem 2 of 0, and Jones 4 of 1.

Without Ye Feng's unreasonable three-pointer, the Heat's situation would have been even worse.

Relying on their excellent offensive and defensive performances, the Suns reversed the point difference between the two sides. With a score of 55 to 53, they led the Heat by 2 points and entered the locker room to rest.

……

"It's very surprising. In the second quarter, the Suns' advantage over the Heat was actually due to their defensive strength, not their strong offense." Barkley said in surprise.

"Indeed, the Suns have three 20+ scorers and a 17+ quasi-20 scorer, such an offensive card is too extravagant.

I originally thought that the Suns' offense should be their weapon to win the game. Who would have thought that the Suns would lose in the offensive.

As a result, he fought hard to defend, but he was able to play against the Heat.

This is inconsistent with the style of the Suns!

The Suns have a tradition of playing, running, and attacking to win the game. Unexpectedly, the defensive performance is very amazing..."

After simply recuperating for 15 minutes, the game came back for the second half.

The Suns made personnel adjustments. The starting five Tigers, Marbury, Marion, Stoudemire and Joe Johnson, all continued to play, but Scott Williams was replaced by Hardaway.

After all, Hardaway performed well in the second quarter.

On the Heat's side, the starting lineup was still sent out in response to the ever-changing changes.

The game started in the third quarter, and the Heat had the offensive ball.

Wade dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, did not make an offensive shot, but observed the situation on the field.

It hasn't changed, it's still a man-to-man tactic.

In the second quarter of the game, Wade thought that his state was hot and his offense was a bit simple. He wanted to use shooting to solve the offense, but he didn't expect to hit the iron continuously.

Later, when he wanted to use a breakthrough to open the situation, the support of his teammates was insufficient.

The shooting efficiency of his teammates dropped, and the shooting felt cold. He chose to break through and just fell into the Suns' anti-pinching circle.

The pass came out, but it couldn't be turned into an assist, which made the Heat's offensive firepower dumb for a while.

Thinking of this, Wade broke through even more resolutely.

Marbury made it clear that it was the Suns' defensive flaws, and only if he penetrated this point, the Heat's offense might get more easy shots.

He dribbled the ball with a step, changed direction and accelerated, and with a bang, after hitting Marbury with his body, Wade rushed into the inside lane. cast--

Swish-!
The basketball drew an arch in the air and entered hollowly.

55 to 55! !
"Wade's breakthrough was very sharp, and his shots were also very determined. Although Stoudemire's replacement was quick, he couldn't catch up."

"Next, the Suns' offense, with Hardaway on the court, removed an insider, their speed was extremely fast.

In the frontcourt, Marbury and Marion played a pick-and-roll cooperation. After getting rid of Wade, Marbury took a step, jumped up, and distributed the basketball to Marion who came in through an air cut.

Twist, jump out, shoot..."

Swish-!
Have it.

Marbury's shooting posture is very ugly, but the shot from close range did not fail.

55 to 57! !
Looking back, Wade broke through and was flanked, passed the ball to Jones, and was bullied by Marion to defend.

At this time, Ye Feng suddenly ran back, throwing off Joe Johnson's defensive entanglement.

Stepping back beyond the three-point line, Jones' pass arrived in an instant.

Catch the ball, twist your waist, jump up, and raise your hand for a three-point jumper.

The entire shooting rhythm is very clean and neat, without a trace of sloppy.

Swish-!
With the knife in his hand, Ye Feng hit another three-pointer! !
58 to 57! !
In the transition between offense and defense, Marbury played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire in the frontcourt.

"Scrambling inside, Marbury got rid of Wade's defense, stepped down and dribbled the ball to change direction, passed Grant, and pulled the ball...

Is this Stoudemire who wants to split the ball for an air cut? "

No.

Marbury tricked the Heat's defense.

At the same time, he also lied to Stoudemire.

However, these are not important, what is important is that Marbury reached the basket.

At this point, it's empty.

Boom! !
Without defense, Marbury showed off his talent, jumped up, turned 180 degrees in the air, folded his back button with both hands, and dunked the basket into the basket.

"Nice dunk!!
Marbury showed up, indicating that while Marbury was strong, the Heat's defense had problems. "

58 to 59! !
On the field, the Heat were attacking, and Wade wanted to break through, but was directly defended by Marbury.

Odom brought it up and set a screen with Wade.

Wade breaks through, splits the ball, and lets Odom catch the ball to face Marbury.

After catching the ball and shooting a jumper, Marbury's defense immediately became false.

Swish-!
Odom's shooting also has.

60 to 59! ! !
