Godfather of basketball: coach Dayao to win the championship

After defeating the Sacramento Kings, the Knicks' next opponent is the Phoenix Suns.

This season, the strength of the Phoenix Suns has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the return of Steve Nash, the strength of this Phoenix Suns skyrocketed.

The 2003-04 team in 29-53 had a ball-handling maestro who could pass the ball inside to Stoudemire and let newcomer Quentin Richardson The perimeter has become a major weapon for the Suns.

In the original historical process, this Phoenix Suns achieved a record of 62 wins and 20 losses this season, allowing coach Mike D'Antoni to win the honor of the best coach of the year, and Steve Nash also averaged 11.5 assists per game to become the most valuable player.

In the first round of the playoffs, they swept the Memphis Grizzlies with four victories; in the second round, they met the tough resistance of the Dallas Mavericks and won 4-2 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.But in the Western Conference Finals, the Phoenix Suns were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs 1-4.

Being able to break into the Western Conference Finals is enough to show how strong this Phoenix Suns team is.

And this year, the running and bombing style of the Phoenix Suns also made fans throughout the league start advocating the fast break style of play.

It can be said that with only a small difference, the aesthetics of offensive violence swept the entire league.

However, even without being able to win the championship, the Phoenix Suns' running and bombing style has benefited many players and coaches of the team.

For such a team, it can be regarded as a strong team in the hearts of fans.

If the Knicks can beat the Phoenix Suns, it can be regarded as proof that their state and strength have recovered.

Therefore, this game has also made many fans look forward to it.

Not only the fans are looking forward to it, but some players are also looking forward to it.

Among them, the most typical is Steve Nash.

When fighting against Han Ning before, he was often bullied.

Han Ning made a lot of tactical arrangements for him.

Now, he has finally left the Dallas Mavericks and returned to the Phoenix Suns.

It can be regarded as a chance to avenge Han Ning.

How could he not be excited? !

As we all know, the best part of the Knicks is not Allen Iverson.

It's the combination of the four insiders.

This is a headache for almost all teams in the entire league.

Allen Iverson, while important, is strong.

But it's not that other teams can't find a way to deal with it.

For example, the Los Angeles Lakers have Kobe.

The Miami Heat have Dwyane Wade.

The Orlando Magic have McGrady.

Although it is a bit worse than the current Allen Iverson.

But after all, he is also a star player on the back line.

There are gaps, but not irreparable.

However, in the interior, other teams simply cannot make up a combination of the Big Four like the Knicks.

There are quite a few inside twin towers, but only the Knicks can have two sets of inside twin towers.

At most, if you count the Houston Rockets, you can barely make it together.

However, such a lineup is a threat to other teams.

But for the Phoenix Suns, it may not be a threat.

There is also a possibility that it will become an opportunity they can take advantage of!

Run and bomb tactics!It is most uncomfortable for tall and heavy post players.

Once the rhythm of the game is raised, these tall and heavy inside players will be tired of running.

While wasting physical energy, it will also lead to a decline in one's own state.

The contest between the Phoenix Suns and the Knicks in this game.

Anyone with eyes can see it.

The key to winning or losing is who can control the rhythm of the game!

If the Phoenix Suns grasp the rhythm of the game, then the Knicks' inside combination will lose their advantage, and it will also become an opportunity for the Phoenix Suns to win the game.

If the Knicks have mastered the rhythm of the game, then the Felix Suns' running and bombing will not be able to run.The Knicks' inside four King Kong can frantically torture the Felix Suns inside.

This kind of control of the rhythm of the game is tested by the competition between the head coaches of the two sides at the tactical level, as well as the competition between the players in the two teams who are responsible for organizing the game.

In other words, it's Hanning versus Mike D'Antoni, and Steve Nash versus Allen Iverson.

Time passed day by day, and finally ushered in the game between the Knicks and the Phoenix Suns.
