Chapter 265
"Yao Ming's offensive ability is very strong, but this strength depends on the opponent. He faces a player with enough weight and strength to be invincible. Even if the opponent is not tall, Yao's scoring methods seem to be somewhat lacking."

"But compared to one-on-one defense, Yao Ming's weakest offensive link is the ability to break double-teams. This is the standard for the NBA to measure whether you are a superstar or an ordinary star. Players who cannot break double-teams are at most An ordinary star, only a star who can be fearless in front of double-teams, can score and give teammates open scoring opportunities, can be called a superstar, such as Michael Jordan."

"Yao Ming's defense is inherently strong. Compared with his offensive ability, Dayao's defense is born with obvious physical advantages. With a height of 2 meters 26 and a wingspan of 2 meters 25, he stands like a wall under the basket. The wall, any offensive player in front of him will hesitate for a while, for fear of being slapped away by a big hot pot block."

"The Suns had no choice but to replace Chakalidis, who had too many turnovers, fouls and rebounds to protect him. In fact, his scoring ability is still good, and he can score in several consecutive post-up singles. However, the most important thing for NBA coaches is defense. It doesn't matter if the offense can't get in, but if the defense can't defend, it will die."

"After all, no matter how good a player is, his shooting percentage will generally not exceed 65%, and the whole team will be even lower than 50%. Sometimes the comparison is who defends better. The Suns simply don't want traditional centers, and use two powerful and fast players. young players to compete against the Warriors Twin Towers."

"To deal with the Twin Towers, you need to be like the Lakers, just a big shark O'Neal is enough, but the entire NBA is only a big shark, other teams can only work hard on the formation, not being tall enough is not important, the key inside must be able to stand up In terms of strength, you must be able to carry it, shoot outside against you, and resolutely not let you enter the penalty area."

"The sun transferred Marion to the inside defense, which liberated the Warriors' outside McGrady. The trade-off between the two evils is the lesser. The sun would rather let you get enough long-range shooting opportunities for McGrady Battier on the outside, and it is impossible for you to open up the inside. .”

"The terrifying inside center is very powerful. It is very likely to hit horrific statistics, hit seven or eight in a row, or 10 of 9 shots, and they also have a lot of opportunities to get free throws. For an excellent player like Yao Ming, To send him to the free throw line is to send points to the Warriors."

"In the first quarter, the two sides tied at 21:21. The Suns changed teams and players in turn, and finally withstood the shock wave of the Warriors. This is the home court of the Suns, and Phoenix fans don't want to see a loss at home."

"The Suns, with 22 wins and 23 losses before the game, are standing on the edge of the playoffs. If they can win consecutive games, they can return to the ranks of the top eight in the Western Conference. If they can't recover their decline, they will bid farewell to this season's NBA playoffs , and this is a reality that the entire Suns team, especially the owners and fans, absolutely cannot accept."

"After all, since the 90s, the powerful Suns in the West have never missed the playoffs. This is not only related to the amount of bonuses, but also the glory of a traditional strong team in the NBA, which is left to the head coach of the Suns, Scott Skye. Time is running out for Ernes."

For every team in the major leagues of the NBA, there may still be various problems in changing players, especially the star-level players. It is the easiest solution for the bosses to solve the problem.

"After all, there is no non-tradeable or non-dismissible clause for NBA head coaches, and there is no head coach salary cap and various restrictions. The only problem with firing a head coach may be that you have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages and negotiate a buyout. break the contract price."

"For nba owners who are not short of money, the problems that can be solved with money are often not a problem. There are many head coaches, but there are not many coaches who can be nba head coaches, and the big-name legendary nba head coaches are even rarer. gone."

"Behind a great NBA dynasty team, there must be at least one great head coach. Starting from Red Auerbach, behind the greatest NBA teams, there are all star-studded head coach names."

"In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the bench players. The Suns really have no one to play. The two scorers Rodney Rogers and Tony Delk, let alone their defensive height is not enough and their attitude is not active. 37-year-old Dan Marley They couldn't play for a few minutes at all, couldn't make it through a quarter, and the Suns basically didn't have any rest."

"This is a back-to-back series after the Suns' away game. They lost to the Portland Trail Blazers at 97:105 in their last game yesterday. Sean Marion played the whole game for 48 minutes and played 4 quarters for 1 minute without rest. , Marbury played 45 minutes, even Penny Anfernee Hardaway, also played 40 minutes."

"Well, why did the Suns have only one center, Chakalidis, because the Suns also had a center, Jack Voskul, who was injured yesterday. He and Chakalidis took turns starting the center, but the two statistics Not bad, two second-year rookies are averaging 5+5 per game."

"In the first half, the Warriors overtook the Suns at home at 51:41. Even though the two Suns re-entered the battle midway through the second quarter, they faced the Warriors' Uncle Mu, Larry Hughes Jr. and a bunch of bench bandits. They brought the Suns on the bench. Still playing hard.”

"In the middle of the third quarter, Yao Ming was also replaced by Lenny. The Suns, who had few players, had to replace Chakalidis again. He used his 2 meters tall to compete with Dayao. Marion was already in his body. Backed 18 fouls, and Alton Ford, who temporarily entered the interior to fight the fire, also fouled 4 times, let them carry people inside, and stop playing in the fourth quarter."

"Yao Ming is not afraid of soft center forwards, even if the opponent's height is not short, but Yao Ming's footsteps are flexible inside, dodging left and right, and it is easy to pull out the gap to shoot. Dayao is afraid of strong men with much stronger upper body strength than him, It's hard to rely on him for a step, and it's hard to turn around."

"Sun center Chakalidis, a Georgian, doesn't have so many dirty moves. A player from Eastern Europe, he plays like a European player. He focuses on team basketball, with little physical confrontation and various off-court tricks. Yao Ming beat him. Very comfortable."

"In the middle of the fourth quarter, Yao Ming has made 13 of 7 shots, scored 17 points and 14 rebounds in his sophomore double, and also had 5 blocked shots. After a while, the head coach of the Suns will call a surrender timeout and replace the main players. This is their back-to-back game, and if they hurt one or two players, it will be a big loss."

"Okay, Suns coach Scott Skiles called a timeout for substitutions, the two sides replaced the main players, and the substitutes played the last 3 minutes, 118:104, congratulations to the Warriors for their away win over the Phoenix Suns. "
