NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

After the pick-and-roll, Zhang Jinshui successfully replaced Stoudemire in front of him. This was the first head-to-head confrontation between Zhang Jinshui and Stoudemire in today's game.

"Hey, rookie in Huaguo, I heard that you are very popular recently, don't be too proud, I will teach you what is high and high." Stoudemire said with open arms to block Zhang Jinshui, with a look of contempt.

Zhang Jinshui smiled coldly and said, "Oh? It's not certain who will teach whom."

Although the words were spoken casually, Zhang Jinshui did not dare to be careless at all.

Looking at all the centers of the other 29 teams in the league, the tall and fast-moving Stoudemire is definitely the most difficult to break through.

Without hesitation, Zhang Jinshui used his consciousness to trigger the breakthrough golden badge: [Best route].

A green guide line then appeared in Zhang Jinshui's sight, and spread along Stoudemire's right hand all the way to the basket.

As long as there is a green guide line, it will do.

Zhang Jinshui raised his head and stared into Stoudemire's eyes. At the same time, his left and right hands dribbled the ball back and forth between his crotches, constantly shaking Stoudemire's center of gravity.

A few seconds later, when Stoudemire's center of gravity moved to the left visibly with the naked eye, Zhang Jinshui immediately performed [Lightning First Step], and broke into the inside line from Stoudemire's right hand.

The timing of this breakthrough has been chosen perfectly.

But Stoudemire's physical fitness is too perverted. Relying on his top-level movement speed, he has lost his defensive position and reattached to Zhang Jinshui's oblique rear, only half a step behind.

Fortunately, with the guidance of the [best route], Zhang Jinshui can make the best choice without wasting any time in every step of the inward breakthrough.

He first changed the line to the left to avoid the harassment of Lagabel on the side, and then made another horizontal jump to pass Marion who came from the right to make up for it.

After facing the basket that was close at hand, Zhang Jinshui did not jump in a hurry. Instead, he slowed down his speed first, pouted his buttocks and blocked Stoudemire who was chasing him behind him, and then used a not counting The chic posture completed the layup.

18 to 16, Zhang Jinshui helped the Rockets gain a two-point lead.

The audience at the scene immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers. Most of these Rockets fans are experts who have watched basketball games for many years. They can naturally tell that Zhang Jinshui blocked Stoudemire's layup with his buttocks in the end. Although a bit funny, it was definitely the best choice under the circumstances.

If Zhang Jinshui didn't do this after the horizontal jump at that time, but directly chose to lay up, then Stoudemire, who was chasing after him and already accelerating, would probably jump high and reward Zhang Jinshui Pegboard hat.

Van Gundy, standing on the sidelines, also applauded vigorously, and praised loudly: "Zhang Jinshui, this layup is smart!"

Zhang Jinshui, who retreated, nodded at Van Gundy, and when he saw Stoudemire passing in front of him, he hurriedly followed up, raised his arms and piled up his biceps, and sneered: " Hey, Stoudemire, what is high and low, have you learned it now?"

Stoudemire's black face immediately became darker, and he said angrily, "Boy, just wait for me."

"Wait and wait. If you have the ability, you can hit me single-handedly, but if you have a chance to single-handedly hit me, you don't seem to be saying it. It's a pity." past.

Zhang Jinshui's last sentence echoes the most mainstream public opinion that denies Stoudemire: Stoudemire has no tactical say in the Suns, and he relies too much on Nash's organizational assists and personal offensive ability It's definitely not as top-notch as the scoring data looks on the surface.

Stoudemire naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Jinshui's words, and the veins on his forehead burst out of anger.

Suffering from no outlet for venting, he ran straight to the inside of the Rockets, resisted Yao Ming with all his strength, and asked Nash for the ball as soon as he reached out.

Although Nash knew very well that it was definitely not a wise choice to pass the ball to Stoudemire and let him play Yao Ming in the low post in a positional battle.

But seeing Stoudemire gritted his teeth and insisted, Nash was too embarrassed to brush off his teammates, so he could only bite the bullet and pass the ball in. At the same time, he secretly prayed that Stoudemire would give him a surprise. .

Unfortunately, in the face of Yao Ming's height and tonnage, Stoudemire's post-up singles are really not enough.

After he dribbled the ball and squeezed Yao Ming twice to no avail, he could only reluctantly turn back and finish the attack with a jumper.

Under the interference of Yao Ming's big hand, the basketball drew a crooked arc in the air, and finally hit the edge of the basket and bounced out. Yao Ming confiscated the backcourt rebound.

"It's not that piece of material, so don't do that job." Zhang Jinshui deliberately passed by Stoudemire's side first, made up for it, and then opened up space and accepted Yao Ming's pass.

"Zhang Jinshui, wait for me!" Stoudemire yelled angrily.

Zhang Jinshui saw the other party's distraught look, and his mood immediately became much more relaxed. People who like to talk about others deserved to be reduced to such an end.

However, Zhang Jinshui also knew that he would definitely put up his full energy in today's game. With Stoudemire's character of vengeance, he would definitely find a way to return the resentment in his heart to himself several times.

After taking the ball to the frontcourt, Zhang Jinshui decided to let Stoudemire dry first.

He waved his hand to Yao Ming, who got the position inside, and then passed the ball directly to McGrady, who was standing at a 60-degree angle on the left side. The dislocation with Nash.

McGrady took a step and easily broke through Nash's defense, but he met Stoudemire, who was red-eyed and let go of Yao Ming.

The Suns' defense this time, after Nash was broken through, should be Marion who came to fill the position in a reasonable collision zone: Stoudemire's most important task is to block Yao Ming, neither can he receive points for Yao Ming to attack the basket There is no opportunity for Yao Ming to rush to grab offensive rebounds.

Obviously, this ball was shot by Stoudemire himself.

McGrady, who has a wide vision, naturally would not miss the opponent's defensive error. He jumped up and passed the ball to Yao Ming with a better space in the air, assisting the latter to score two points with an easy layup.

20 to 16, the point difference between the two teams came to 4 points for the first time.

Toyota Center once again sounded warm cheers from the fans.

"Beep" was a whistle, and the Suns coach D'Antoni immediately called a timeout.

In the past two rounds, Stoudemire has been completely reduced to the background board.

Zhang Jinshui originally wanted to go up and give the opponent another shot, but seeing that Nash and Marion had already walked to the two sides of Stoudemire, hugging him and walking towards the bench while talking, Zhang Jinshui could only feel resentful. walked back to his bench.

"Guys, you did a great job."

After the Rockets returned to the bench, Van Gundy clapped his hands and praised loudly, then continued:

"McGrady, you should rest first, and bring a substitute back in the second quarter."

"Zhang Jinshui, Yao Ming, come back to the court in a while. You should combine the inside singles with high-post support and pick-and-rolls. This will make our offense more three-dimensional and more efficient. Do you understand?"

"Understood, coach." Zhang Jinshui and Yao Ming said loudly together.

"Beep!" With the referee's whistle, the 120-second timeout ended, and Yao Ming and Zhang Jinshui returned to the court with veteran Qiong Barry and other teammates.

The lineup of the opposing Suns remains unchanged.

Zhang Jinshui looked at Stoudemire for a few times, and found that his expression had recovered from the hideous expression before the timeout, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

With the referee's whistle, the Suns first served from the baseline, and Nash took the pass from Stoudemire and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

Without waiting for Stoudemire to settle inside, Nash suddenly rushed in from Zhang Jinshui's right. Although Zhang Jinshui, who was supported by [Shadow Follows], was already very tight, he still couldn't stop Nash from running. A ground-hit pass helped Marion, who ran back into the paint, catch the ball and easily dunk for two points.

After Yao Ming successfully beat Stoudemire in the paint, Nash quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again. He still didn't wait for Stoudemire to settle down, and gave the ball to Diaw who got an open chance in the bottom corner. The latter pretended to shoot, tricked Joan Barry into jumping into the paint, attracted Yao Ming's defense, and gave the ball to Stoudemire, who came from behind, to complete a violent dunk.

I have to admit that after McGrady left the field, the Rockets could no longer put enough pressure on the Suns on the defensive end.

And these two successful offenses are a microcosm of the Suns offense in the next 3 minutes:

Every time Nash dribbles the ball into the frontcourt quickly, due to the pass, there will be a Suns player to get an offensive opportunity: Stoudemire's catch and attack to the basket, La Gabel's three-point long shot from the bottom corner, Ma From Lyon's back-running layup from the outside to the inside and Dior's feint pass, the Suns players combined various offensive routines to continuously put the basketball into the Rockets' basket with a very high success rate.

Through these 3 minutes, Zhang Jinshui finally experienced the horror of the seven-second bombardment, and he couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart. No wonder the Suns are the most popular and hottest team in the league in the past two years. This pleasing offensive style of play , How can there be any reason why fans don't like to watch it.

However, the stands at the Toyota Center did not become silent because of the efficient offense of the Suns. After all, they still had Yao Ming and Zhang Jinshui on the court.

Without the restriction of double-teaming, Yao Ming continued to overwhelm the inside of the Suns. Although he did not score in sports, he caused defensive fouls by Stoudemire and Marion respectively in singles, and stood on the free throw line twice. Both made two free throws.

When Yao Ming's physical strength declined, Zhang Jinshui began to dominate the offense. He first successfully used Yao Ming's high position support to get two open three-pointers by running without the ball, and made 2 of 1 shots.

In addition, Zhang Jinshui used Yao Ming's high pick-and-roll to break into the inside line several times, but faced with Stoudemire's misplaced defense, Zhang Jinshui was very careful when handling the ball. He didn't want to see Stoudemire successfully defending him After that, he looked like a chatterer.

Therefore, without using the second [best route], Zhang Jinshui would distribute the ball to Luther Hyde and Jumbari on the outside along the prompt line of [assessing the situation] after the breakthrough. Lived up to Zhang Jinshui's trust and made a three-pointer respectively.

When the game progressed to the 10th minute, the score of the two teams had come to 37 to 34.

Although the Rockets' offensive success rate is not as high as the Suns at first glance, they still lead the Suns by 3 points by making more three-pointers.

In the absence of Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming and Zhang Jinshui led the Rockets to fight against the league's best offensive team on the court, without losing the wind. It is no wonder that the Rockets fans in the stands are getting more and more emotional.

Next, the Rockets' lineup was adjusted. Yao Ming was off the court, and Zhang Jinshui brought Uncle Mu, Uncle Huo, Qiong Barry and Luther Head on the court.

The Suns' lineup has also been adjusted. Nash, Marion and other main lineups are all gone, leaving only Stoudemire as the main center to play with a substitute lineup.

The enemies Zhang Jinshui and Stoudemire met again. Although the two were not facing each other in the same position, because they were the core players of their respective lineups, the dialogue between the teams was actually equal to the dialogue between the two of them.

Stoudemire was the first to show his power. After receiving the ball inside, he faced the basket and relied on his own impact to shake off Uncle Mu and successfully scored a layup inside, helping the Suns chase the score to 36-37. .

After scoring the goal, Stoudemire started to yell again. He stepped back and yelled at Uncle Mu.

Zhang Jinshui watched from the side, and snorted coldly in his heart, this guy is really a dog who can't change his shit.

After receiving Uncle Huo's baseline serve, Zhang Jinshui brought the ball to the frontcourt. A crazy idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Jinshui immediately made up his mind. He first asked all his teammates on the inside to the outside, then raised his hand and waved to Uncle Mu.

Uncle Mu immediately took Stoudemire to the top of the arc and helped Zhang Jinshui make a pick-and-roll.

Faced with Stoudemire's misplaced defense, Zhang Jinshui directly used [Lightning First Step] to rush in from Stoudemire's right, all the way to the opponent's basket.

I have to admit that Stoudemire's movement speed and bounce speed are really abnormal.

The moment Zhang Jinshui jumped high and put the ball into the basket, Stoudemire, who jumped back first, stretched out his right hand and slammed the basketball out of bounds from behind Zhang Jinshui.

This is definitely a wonderful block that is enough to reach the top five goals, but unfortunately, the background board of this top five goals is Zhang Jinshui.

In the stands of the Toyota Center, sighs of regret suddenly sounded one after another.

Now, it's finally Stoudemire's turn to shout.

He raised his arms, raised his head and roared at the sky, then walked in front of Zhang Jinshui, and said viciously: "Zhang Jinshui, is this hot pot good? Just wait, it's not over yet, I'm going to bring the Suns Overtake the score! I want to blow you up!"

"It's up to you? If you want to overtake the score, dream about it." Zhang Jinshui curled his lips coldly, without any expression of panic or frustration.

At the same time, a metallic voice, as calculated by Zhang Jinshui, rang in his ears.
