I'm really good at shooting.

Barkley shouted from the commentary booth.

Although he is a star of the Suns, it is Sun Hao.

Sun Famous Place?Sorry, I am a famous 76ers!

The Suns had another wave of pick-and-rolls in the frontcourt, but Pietrus missed a 45-degree three-pointer on the right.

The Lakers counterattacked the Suns with a fast break. Sun Hao was unreasonable in his march, and against Nash's defense, he evaded the chasing Marion and smashed the ball into the basket.

7 flats!

The Lakers quickly tied the score!

Nash then played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire. This time Stoudemire tricked Payton with a mid-range shot and hit the board.

When Stoudemire first entered the league, he was still a dunker who had poor defense and could only fly into the sky and escape from the ground.

After Nash came to the sun, he often needed to swing to play center, and he was forced to improve his defense;

And because D'Antoni was more arranged as the starting point of the pick-and-roll tactics, he developed the CIC.

Although he entered the league a year later than Yao Ming, he has already become a complete body and reached his peak.

9 is better than 7!

The Suns overtook again.

But they didn't lead by 1 minute. Sun Hao and O'Neal lobbed the inside line after the pick-and-roll. O'Neal caught the ball and directly pressed Pietrus to send the ball into the basket.

If this was in the past, he would have to show off a turnaround layup or dunk.

But now, how can I save effort!

9 flats!

After experiencing the opening lead and chasing points, the two teams began to enter a stalemate.

The Suns fell back for a while, and the Lakers took the opportunity to gain a certain lead.

However, O'Neal's physical fitness is so little, Phil Jackson did not choose to keep him on the court in order to maintain the advantage.

Just like the principle of "a full meal or a full meal", with the experience of last season, Jackson has become more and more cautious in using O'Neal.

The Suns took advantage of O'Neal's exit to recover some points.

When both sides began to enter a large-scale rotation, the score on the field was... 24 draws!

The two teams were evenly matched.

This situation is also reasonable.

In this year in history, the Suns eliminated the Lakers and Clippers to advance to the Western Conference Finals, and finally lost 2-4 to the Mavericks who should have won the championship.

But such a result was achieved by letting a Stoudemire!

Now Stoudemire is not injured, and it is normal to be evenly matched with the Lakers.

Because of the fast play, the large number of rounds, and the high energy consumption of the players, both sides performed a nine-man rotation in unison.

The Suns have Barbosa, Pietrus, James Jones, Diaw, Tim Thomas.

For the Lakers, Christie, Finley, Horry, Walker, and Mourning.

In the first round, Horry received a three-pointer from Finley at the bottom corner, but it was a pity that he missed it.

Diaw quickly grabs the defensive rebound.

Take a look at the technical statistics of the Suns, and you will find one very interesting thing, that is, this team has a lot of "short rebounders"!

斯塔德迈尔2米08，马里昂2米01，两人的场均篮板都接近10个，迪奥2米03，场均也有接近5个篮板。

None of these three people is a standard inside height, but they can grab nearly 25 points and rebounds in one game!

The Suns pushed back and Barbosa was lightning fast.

However, Christie has rich defensive experience and started to run back ahead of time, retreating to the backcourt and topping Barbosa's breakthrough route.

Barbosa chooses to split the ball to the right.

In the V-shaped fast break of the Suns, Tim Thomas has followed up to the three-point line on the right side. After receiving the ball, he directly chooses to make an emergency stop and shoot a three-pointer!

Although he has a big mouth, his offensive ability is indeed good. The big man can catch the ball so smoothly and doesn't take many three-pointers.

"Shh!"

He also has a good touch, and the basketball fell into the bag against the net!

After scoring the goal, Thomas pursed his mouth and looked very arrogant.

But if you score a goal, you have awesome capital.

Finley also scored a layup.

But immediately, Barbosa turned around and used the pick-and-roll to pass Mourning's defense and scored a layup!

Walker still didn't have a three-pointer from the bottom corner. This time the Suns didn't start a fast break.

After entering the position, this quarter is only enough for the Suns to play the final attack.

Barbosa pressed the time and played a pick-and-roll with Dior until the last few seconds.

He drove to the basket and was double-teamed by the Lakers, returning the ball to Diaw at the free throw line.

Diaw showed the ability of a "French magician", passing the ball without looking at anyone and hitting the ground to Tim Thomas at the top of the arc behind him.

Thomas took the ball and made a three-pointer.

This time the shot will be even better than the last fast break.

Once again, Thomas seized the opportunity and threw the ball before the buzzer.

The ball traced a high parabola in the air.

The trajectory of the ball looks positive, but the power is a little too strong.

"boom!"

After the ball hit the backboard, it bounced and fell into the net bag!

Thomas didn't even yell after scoring the goal, but waited until Dior came to bump his chest before he turned around and yelled.

"You are lost!"

It was the same familiar sentence, but this time "they" became "you", and it was directed at the Lakers bench.

Zhu Fangyu almost rushed forward to punch him.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

He scored 2 three-pointers in just over two minutes of playing, Thomas' performance is not bad!

And more importantly, the Lakers' Horry and Walker's outside response balls all missed.

It felt like Hua Xiong beheaded several generals in succession before Hulao Pass!

At this time, Barkley and Smith unconsciously talked about the interesting thing about the buyout deadline.

Because it was a small role, no one cared about what Thomas said at the beginning, "it will make the Lakers regret it", and it was even just a joke.

It's regrettable that you have such a small role. Maybe you won't be in the NBA after the end of the season.

But just now, his performance attracted everyone's attention.

This is also ability.

Although, his approach is as underwhelming as Draymond Green in history.

"I think Mitch Kupchak should regret it now. Maybe it would have been a good choice to sign him as Walker's substitute."

Kenny Smith even commented that way.

During the intermission, Sun Hao took the initiative to invite Ying.

He wanted to go up and suppress Thomas' arrogance, so that the latter would have a longer memory.

But Phil Jackson disagreed.

And he made an absolutely unexpected substitution.

He replaced Walker with Zhu Fangyu!

Chapter 459 "Notoriety Spreads Far and Wide"

No one understood this substitution.

You must know that Zhu Fangyu has played only 5 minutes per game so far in the playoffs.

It looked okay, but in fact, he only played 5 games. This is because he played the Warriors and had garbage time in almost every game.

He is a bit like Louis Williams' situation. At the end of the season, he gave a chance to perform well and stay on the playoff squad, but he didn't have the chance to play in the playoffs because of defensive problems.

"Maybe the Lakers want to try his [-]s?"

Kenny Smith gave a reasonable explanation in the commentary booth.

Zhu Fangyu can stay in the league because he has a good three-pointer.In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, Thomas scored two or three consecutive points on the Suns side, but Horry and Walker on the Lakers side missed consecutively.

It's okay to change someone who can shoot three-pointers to respond.Back in the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead.

Finley and Mourning drove to the basket after the pick-and-roll, split and passed Tim Thomas for a layup.

But on the Suns side, Barbosa immediately made a pick-and-roll breakthrough and fouled, and made two free throws in return.

In the selection of the best sixth man this year, Barbosa lost to Mike Miller.

But that has something to do with the dispersion of the Suns players' multiple possessions. In terms of the attributes of the sixth man, he is obviously stronger.

Finley continued to play pick-and-roll with Mourning in the frontcourt.

This time the Suns shrunk to defend, and Zhu Fangyu in the bottom corner was vacated.

However, Finley did not pass, but forced a layup against Thomas, causing the latter's thug to foul.

Thomas' offense is good, but his defense is really bad.

But after these two rounds, Confucius couldn't understand it, Mencius couldn't understand it, and Lao Tzu couldn't understand it either.

Zhu Fangyu's replacement didn't seem to have any effect, so she just practiced back and forth?

And soon, the fans discovered a very interesting thing on the field.Thomas, who was very active on the offensive end in the second half of the first quarter, squatted on the outside without moving away from Zhu Fangyu after two runs.

This is even more incomprehensible.

Thomas is a power forward, and Zhu Fangyu is a small forward. If the two match up, they will absolutely crush their bodies.

Thomas knows, not just throwing two three-pointers from the outside!

Barbosa's breakthrough was blocked, the Lakers counterattacked, and Christie assisted Finley to score another 2 points.

34 is better than 30!

Finley performed well during this period, and the Lakers successfully narrowed the point difference.

In the next round, something even more interesting happened on the field.

Barbosa signaled Tim Thomas to play in the low post, and Thomas was reluctant at first.

After Barbosa signaled for the second time, he reluctantly went to the basket.

And after he caught the ball and started back hitting, the others realized that his back hitting was a bit...gentle.

That's right, gentleness.

Zhu Fangyu, who was defending behind him, lowered his weight and tried to hit him, but Thomas just chose to turn around and hook out.

"when!"

The basketball smashed out of the frame, and Zhu Fangyu actually defended it!

There was a commotion at the scene.

But at this moment, Phil Jackson on the sidelines showed a grandpa KFC smile.

If Artest is notorious for beating fans violently in the "Auburn Hills Palace Brawl", then Zhu Fangyu's boxing of Bogut made him notorious among players.
