NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

"Confidence!" Zhang Jinshui followed Yao Ming and McGrady and shouted loudly.

Van Gundy nodded and said, "In the first half, we proved to the world that the Rockets can play a more efficient and impeccable offense than the Suns.

However, the offense can win the audience, and the defense can win the game. In the third quarter, I need you to strengthen the oppression on the defensive end while maintaining the offensive efficiency, so as to completely crush the Suns. "

Van Gundy turned his head to look at Zhang Jinshui, and continued: "Especially you, Zhang Jinshui, and Nash who is facing you is the offensive engine of the Suns. If you can contain Nash a little on the defensive end, the Suns' offense will at least collapse. half."

Zhang Jinshui nodded vigorously and said, "Understood, coach, I will do my best to defend Nash."

After resting for a while, Yao Mai stood up, raised his right hand, and called all the Rockets players to surround him, shouting loudly: "In the third quarter, end the Suns! Come on!"

Then, all the players rushed out of the locker room together.

In the second half, the two teams sent out the starting lineups from the first quarter.

Due to too many points behind in the first half, Nash, the leader of the Suns, opened fire as soon as he came up.

After he brought the ball to the frontcourt, he stretched out his hand and pretended to ask Stoudemire to do a pick-and-roll for him, but when Zhang Jinshui looked back at Stoudemire's position, he accelerated to the inside and scored two points with a throw.

Zhang Jinshui was secretly annoyed, but he also knew that he couldn't blame his defensive distraction for the ball. If he didn't pay attention to Stoudemire's positioning and let Nash pick and roll the ball to the latter, the Suns could still score easily.

Blame only blame Nash too hard to guard against.

Next, Zhang Jinshui deliberately reduced his sense of presence on the offensive end, and only acted as a bridge between Yao Ming, who was double-teaming the ball, and McGrady, who had a good offensive space.

He began to focus most of his attention on defense.

He did this, on the one hand, it naturally came from Van Gundy's tactical arrangement to strangle the Suns defensively in midfield.

On the other hand, Zhang Jinshui personally believes that the name Nash represents the top offensive ability of point guards in the league. This matchup with Nash is actually a rare opportunity for Zhang Jinshui. The experience on the defensive end can also learn from the opponent's offensive methods, and enrich your own offensive methods in the future.

Generally speaking, with a base defensive ability of 80, plus the silver talent badge [following you like a shadow], defenders facing Zhang Jinshui will feel a strong sense of oppression.

But in the next few minutes, under the pressure of Zhang Jinshui, Nash still controlled the ball freely, and even raised his hand from time to time to direct his teammates' running positions, as if Zhang Jinshui's marking did not exist at all.

And when he entered the frontcourt, Nash's offensive options became even more varied.

He can directly break through Zhang Jinshui, or ask Stoudemire and Marion to help him with pick-and-rolls, and he can suddenly find gaps in every corner of the court by passing the ball from left to right.

In short, under Nash's organization, the Suns' offense is still running in an orderly manner without being affected at all.

In contrast, Zhang Jinshui's full defense seemed a bit embarrassing.

Zhang Jinshui secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder the whole league knows that the Suns' seven-second running and bombing is very powerful, but there are still few teams that can limit the Suns' total points to less than 120 points. It is too strong.

He finally felt the huge gap between an 80-point defense and a top-level offense, and at the same time realized that his offense still has a lot to improve.

Fortunately, the twin stars of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady did not let Nash dominate.

One of them can attack the basket toughly even in the face of double-teams, and the other uses pull-up jumpers and breakthrough layups to constantly remind the Suns that a top shooting guard is no less terrifying than a top point guard.

Coupled with Zhang Jinshui's [-]-pointer after receiving a double-team from Yao Ming, the Rockets didn't let the Suns shrink the game.

When the third quarter of the game progressed to the 7th minute, under the efficient offense of both sides, the score on the field has become an exaggerated 92 to 77, and the Rockets still maintain a 15-point lead.

At this time, it was time for Tracy McGrady to rest, adding weight to the next fourth quarter duel.

But Van Gundy on the sidelines firmly gestured to the players on the field: All the main players stayed on the field to end the battle in the third quarter.

Zhang Jinshui did not expect that Van Gundy, who has always been conservative and stable, would have such courage and dare to put all his eggs in one basket. Naturally, he would give his full support.

Since Nash can't be restrained by defense, let's keep it simple and just rely on offense!

After Nash hit a three-pointer, Zhang Jinshui, who had made up his mind, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt carefully. He was about to trigger the [Ability Value Explosion Table] to fill up the three-pointer ability value, and the Suns basket in sight The basket unexpectedly flashed a purple light.

The purple badge [Fu Lin Xinzhi] was randomly triggered.

Zhang Jinshui took the ball two steps before the top of the arc without hesitation, jumped straight up, and shot a signature ultra-long three-pointer.

In the stands, many Rockets fans immediately raised the three fingers of their right hands with anticipation.

Frankly speaking, in the eyes of the fans, Zhang Jinshui did not play well in the first half of the third quarter. His defense was crushed to pieces by Nash's sharp offense.

And this ultra-long three-pointer immediately gave the fans a strong premonition that the familiar Zhang Jinshui was coming back.

Sure enough, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and with a "swish", it entered the net hollowly.

The fans flicked their fingers vigorously in the air excitedly, and gave warm cheers to their Zhang Jinshui without hesitation.

95 to 80, the Rockets lead again by 15 points.

This time, Zhang Jinshui did not do his signature gesture of flicking his fingers to celebrate, but immediately threw himself into the full-court press against Nash.

However, Nash received the ball, turned around and threw Zhang Jinshui into the frontcourt. Without waiting for Stoudemire and other players to catch up, he went directly into the inside of the Rockets and threw the ball into the air to help him follow closely. Marion behind him completed an alley-oop dunk.

82 to 95, the point difference was narrowed to 13 points again.

Defense is really impossible, but fortunately Zhang Jinshui still has offense.

He wiped the sweat from his hands on his team uniform, took a pass from Chuck Hayes, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and directly triggered the [Ability Value Explosion Table], pulling the three-pointer to 100.

"Boy, do you want to fight me?" Nash, who had been silent all the time, spoke to Zhang Jinshui for the first time, but the provocation in his tone was not very serious.

"Okay!" Zhang Jinshui nodded, then moved two steps forward, reached the top of the arc, and began to dribble continuously under the crotch.

After shaking Nash's center of gravity, Zhang Jinshui suddenly took a step towards his right hand. After Nash moved to the right, he immediately pulled back with one step, and cast the [Backstep Magic Shot] to throw the ball.

With the blessing of 100 three-point ability points, the basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air and hit the net hollow without accident.

98 is better than 82!

In the cheers of the audience, Nash praised without hesitation: "Good shot!"

Zhang Jinshui was stunned. This was the first time he received praise from an opponent since he played in the NBA.

Next, it was the sun's turn to attack.

Nash received the pass from Stoudemire, and under the defense of Zhang Jinshui, he easily came to the frontcourt. After shaking his shoulders, he stepped into the three-point line, directly rode and shot an arrow, and completed a drop shot to score.

84 is better than 98!

For this ball, Nash only took 5 seconds from receiving the ball to rushing forward to finally hitting the throw.

Zhang Jinshui secretly sighed that Nash's offensive skills have definitely reached perfection.

It's just that Nash would never have imagined that such a pleasing offensive art gave Zhang Jinshui a second chance to use 100 three-point ability points.

At this time, there are still 24 seconds left before Zhang Jinshui's 5-second special effect ends.

Zhang Jinshui loudly urged Chuck Hayes to pass the ball to himself, and then took the ball into the Suns half court at high speed, one and a half steps before the top of the arc.

There was almost no pause, Zhang Jinshui immediately stopped and jumped up, grabbing the tail of [exploding ability value], and threw a long-range three-pointer with an extremely high arc.

This ball, except for the difference between three-pointers and two-pointers, looks like Zhang Jinshui's response to Nash's rapid attack just now.

I saw the basketball fly high and land quickly, and finally hit the net with a "swish".

101 is better than 84!

This is already Zhang Jinshui's third consecutive three-pointer, and the Rockets' lead has also reached 17 points!

"Beep!" A whistle sounded, and the Suns coach immediately called a timeout.

And the entire Toyota Center was completely blown up at this moment.

The Rockets fans in the stands screamed and jumped excitedly, high-fived each other, and kept making incredible expressions to the cameras.

In less than 2 minutes just now, Nash and Zhang Jinshui staged three consecutive rounds of thrilling battles, scoring 5 points, 1 assist and 9 points respectively.

The whole process can only be described as hearty.

At this moment, the Rockets fans even proudly believed that their Zhang Jinshui was already a top guard in the league comparable to Nash.

On the sidelines of the SB commentary, Big Mouth Barkley stared like copper bells, and excitedly said: "These few rounds just now really made my scalp tingle, especially Zhang Jinshui's last response to Nash's quick three Points, that's it! You may not believe it, but my goosebumps fell all over the floor."

Kenny Smith also said excitedly: "Since entering the NBA, I have been amazed by O'Neal and the Admiral's mutual explosion, and I have also been amazed by the offensive and defensive battles between Kobe and McGrady, but I never thought that one day , I was amazed by the mutual attack between the two point guards. It took less than 2 minutes, and it was simply the most exciting basketball performance I have seen in recent years."

At this time, Lahm, who was sitting next to "Big Mouth Kenny", was also not calm. He had already prepared some words in his stomach, intending to exaggerate Jin Shui and Nash.

However, "Big Mouth Kenny" didn't intend to let him speak at all. Instead, he said in surprise, "Hey, what is Zhang Jinshui doing?"

On the court, Zhang Jinshui did not immediately return to the bench, but took off his sneakers and walked to the stands that were still cheering for him enthusiastically.

At this time, everyone noticed that Zhang Jinshui was holding a pair of blue and white sneakers.

Through the big TV above the court, they could see that the shoe shape of the pair of sneakers was retro anyway, and it was embroidered with white and blue patterns with a strong Chinese style.

The fans in the stands knew what Zhang Jinshui was going to do, and immediately let out a louder cry, hoping to attract Zhang Jinshui to throw the ball shoes in his direction.

Zhang Jinshui was about to throw his sneakers far away from the stands, when he saw a blond, blue-eyed, cute little girl like a Barbie doll, speaking crookedly Hua Mandarin in a childish voice, not far from him. He shouted: "Zhang Jinshui, Zhang Jinshui, I am your fan."

Zhang Jinshui smiled slightly, stood on tiptoe, and handed over the first pair of "bows" he had worn.

Under the envious eyes of the surrounding crowd, the little girl hugged the huge pair of sneakers tightly in her arms, her delicate little face was flushed, and she showed a satisfied smile.

This is a nationally broadcast game. The first appearance of "Bow" should be enough for Zhao Nian to laugh for a month, right?

Thinking to himself, Zhang Jinshui hurried back to the bench. Half of the long timeout had passed after his tossing.

Fortunately, Van Gundy and a group of teammates are tolerant enough to him.

McGrady even said with admiration: "Why didn't I think of promoting new sneakers in this way before? No, I will think of a better idea in the future."

Zhang Jinshui sat on the bench and wore a new pair of "bows". He didn't dare to talk about this topic anymore, and turned his head to look at Van Gundy obediently, as if he was a coach, you arrange tactics, and I obeyed. This made Yao Ming and the others laugh.

Van Gundy also shook his head with a smile, and said: "Your performance today was perfect. There is nothing to say. Now there are 2 minutes left in the third quarter. Just keep this point difference."

With the referee's whistle, the Rockets are still returning to the field with all the main players.

After Zhang Jinshui showed a strong offensive threat on the outside and attracted a certain amount of defensive attention, Yao Ming and McGrady's offense became more handy.

At the end of the third quarter, they helped the Rockets further widen the point difference to 21 points.

The score of the three quarters of the two sides was a terrifying 109 to 88 points, with a total of nearly 200 points, which also reflected how exciting this offensive battle was.

By the fourth quarter, D'Antoni was fielding a player without a regular rotation player, announcing that the Suns had given up on the game.

On the sidelines, in the commentary of SB TV station, Barkley sincerely praised: "Unexpectedly, as strong as the Suns, they can't stop the Rockets from clocking in three quarters. This year's Rockets are really too strong!"

"Yes." Kenny Smith nodded and echoed: "Besides, the Rockets' lineup is still being strengthened. According to my gossip, one of their important new members is watching the game right now and waiting Let's meet them in the locker room."

Barkley was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
