The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 230 Speed-down attack.

Frye stepped forward to catch the ball, Batum stared closely, and Xue Ding followed Nash closely, preventing him from having a convenient chance to catch the ball.

Stoudemire ran up from the basket, Chandler followed quickly, Stoudemire caught the ball, made a fake shot and catch, shook Chandler, accelerated after getting off the ball, and rushed to the basket with great strides .

Two steps together, grabbing the ball with one hand, jumping high, a black shadow flew straight from the left baseline.

Stoudemire, who was in the air, felt a huge force coming, the ball escaped, and Stoudemire's lowered body tried to maintain his balance in the air.

Chandler receives the rebound.

Xue Ding, who landed on the ground, roared and waved his right arm.

An angry Xiao Si got up and rushed towards Xue Ding.

Chandler stretched out his left arm to block Stoudemire. Stoudemire threw off Chandler angrily. Xue Ding raised his hands high and looked at the referee innocently.

The referee rushed over, stopped Stoudemire, and kept giving verbal warnings.

Frye hugged Stoudemire, comforting him in his ear.

Xue Ding looked at Xiaosi with a smile on his face, and I like to see you displease me, but you look like I can't help it.

Stoudemire pushed away Frye with both hands angrily, and rushed towards him like a leopard. The referee whistled, and gave Stoudemire a marked T in his right hand. At the same time, he looked at Stoudemire with a serious face. Blow up and get ready for another hit.

Nash hugged Stoudemire and kept yelling at him.

Seeing that Nash had spoken, Stoudemire stopped impulsively and looked at Xue Ding fiercely.

Stoudemire also understands very well that if he doesn't control himself, he will be expelled from the field. Even though he is at home, he has a violent tendency, and he ignores the referee's warning and penalty, and he will be severely punished by the NBA.

The game continued, Xue Ding held the ball, and after halftime, Fernandez mentioned a high position to catch the ball, Xue Ding ran to the right low position to block Hill and continued to ask for the ball.

After Fernandez handed the ball to Xue Ding, he pulled it to the left 45° and took Nash away.

Seeing that Xue Ding was about to play back singles again, Stoudemire kept grabbing positions, trying to stand in the direction Xue Ding faced the basket. If Xue Ding broke through, he could still defend.

Xue Ding holds the ball in both hands, leaning against Hill with his back, keeping enough space in his lower body.

Hill held Xue Ding tightly with his arms, not daring to relax a bit.

Xue Ding swayed from side to side, turned around suddenly, quickly dropped the ball, pulled back, opened up space, and hit a two-point jumper.

The action is realistic and the shot is neat.

Hill's center of gravity was cheated and he almost fell.

The score was 81:81, the two sides tied.

Xue Ding scored 6 points in a row, tying the score.

Gentry called a timeout immediately.

On the Trail Blazers bench, Pritchard was holding a tactical board and excitedly making tactical arrangements.

"Xue, you did a great job, you need to hit deeper and play more aggressively"

"Batum, don't stand still in the bottom corner, move and move your people."

"Tyson, protect the rebound, don't let them rush inside easily"

"Everyone, the whole court is pressing, suppress the opponent's advancing speed, and don't lose your position"

……

The coaches of both sides have deployed according to the situation on the field.

As soon as the Suns came up, they changed their strategy. Hill had the ball halfway and then handed it to Nash.

But the Blazers' full-court press still worked, and the Suns couldn't play a seven-second offensive tactic.

Nash received the ball at 45° to the right, Hill picked and rolled, Nash made a reverse breakthrough from the weak side of the pick and rolled and accelerated to the inside, Xue Ding quickly turned around and chased him.

Stoudemire stuck Chandler tightly, preventing him from moving laterally.

Nash leaned close to Xue Ding, dribbled the ball and started directly, picked the basket with one hand, twisted his body and leaned back, and scored the ball.

With a score of 81:83, the Suns took a temporary lead, and the fans shouted loudly.

"DEFENCE"

"DEFENCE"

"DEFENCE"

……

Xue Ding dribbled the ball after halftime and continued to hand it to Batum. Batum stood high on the right. Xue Ding caught Hill in a low position and lobbed the ball in.

Hill kept half a step away from Xue Ding, and Xue Ding noticed that Frye was starting to shrink the distance from him, and wanted to form a double-team.

It seems that these singles gave the Suns a double-team tactic.

Xue Ding was not in a hurry to play the ball, and Frye didn't dare to come over too early.

Consecutive post-ups without hitting three-pointers is also to slow down the speed of the Suns. Once they fail to score, the rebounds will fall into the Suns' defense circle, and they will not be able to catch up with the counterattack.

Xue Ding is very clear about the coach's intention, which is to maintain the offensive efficiency, reduce the speed, and disrupt the rhythm of the Suns.

With 14 seconds left, Xue Ding kept shaking left and right, adjusting his center of gravity.

Hill kept adjusting his position following Xue Ding's movements. Seeing that Xue Ding was still looking for space, he directly lowered his center of gravity, and stretched his legs, sticking to Xue Ding.

As soon as he sensed Hill's move, Xue Ding immediately dropped the ball and stayed away from the basket, not giving Hill a chance to cheat.

This kind of defense that completely lowers the center of gravity and completely blocks the attacker's lower body has the advantage that it is very stuck and the attacker cannot continue to advance. If the two of them fall to the ground rashly, an offensive foul will easily come.

The shortcomings are also obvious. The attacker gives up and keeps turning his back, and it is easy to break it when he dribbles away.

But that's what Hill wants. If Xue Ding goes deeper, he'll be dunked.

There are still 10 seconds left.

Xue Ding watched Frye move up, he knew that Hill would definitely come from behind at the same time, and he would double-team himself, and both sides were fighting a time war.

Seeing that Frye was still one step away, Xue Ding turned right and dribbled the ball, leaning against Hill who had just come up, and Frye quickly ran to the strong side of Xue Ding's ball holder.

Xue Ding turned left and threw the two of them to his side at the same time, took a step across, jumped up to make a mid-range shot, and made a steady hit.

With a score of 83:83, the two sides tied again.

Under the pressure of the Trail Blazers, the Suns continued to transfer the ball through transmission. Once they were open, regardless of whether the inside line was in place, they directly pulled out three-pointers, not in a comfortable rhythm, and hit all three shots.

Chandler accepted the rebound and immediately found Xue Ding. Xue Ding changed his previous violent counterattack style and slowly advanced, seeking positional warfare.

Through singles to attract double-teams, consecutive assists from the outside line succeeded, leading the Blazers to consecutive three-pointers, and achieved a 9-point lead.

The score was 92:83, with 4 minutes and 30 seconds left.

Gentry called timeout again.

The tactical arrangement was effectively targeted by the Blazers, and the situation was suppressed. If the score was drawn, there would be no time to come back.

After the coaches of both sides arranged the tactics, the game continued.

After the adjustment, the Suns started the crazy running mode of the whole team as soon as they came up. As soon as they served the ball, they all opened up their running positions, and when they encountered pressure, they immediately passed the ball.

The ball is transmitted at high speed, and the effect is achieved in an instant. After several transmissions, the space is opened.
