NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

While sighing, Ling Yang turned his head, just in time to see Bell and Stoudemire talking to each other with ugly faces.

Guessing that the two might be communicating because of a mistake in cooperation just now, Quan walked over immediately.

At the same time, Nash obviously saw this side and walked over immediately.

As soon as he approached, Ling Yang heard Stoudemire say to Bell:

"I've switched defenses with you, you have to keep up with that guy..."

Before Bell could speak, Nash had already walked up to them and said to the two:

"Amare, Raja, if you have anything to say, go back to the locker room."

Bell didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the locker room, Ling Yang followed beside him.

And Nash also called Stoudemire and walked to the locker room together.

When a few entered the locker room, the expressions on everyone's faces were not good-looking. After all, such a game with a lot of leads was reversed, and in the end it was even a lore, directly losing a home court.

However, because the reporters were still walking outside, neither Bell nor Stoudemire, who were reminded, made a sound.

After everyone entered the locker room and the door closed, Bell stood up immediately.

"Amare? What did you just say? Switch defense? I've already caught up with that guy, and you followed up behind. Are you switching defense?

If you switch early, I'm definitely going to guard Dirk. "

Stoudemire immediately shouted:

"Why didn't I switch defenses? You've been blocked by Dirk, and the opponent rushed out of the three-point line to catch the ball. If I don't make a save, that guy will shoot directly!

It was you who didn't keep up with Dirk in time to let the opponent get the shot! "

The two stared wide-eyed, neither convinced of the other.

"Okay! Stop shouting!"

At this moment, D'Antoni immediately stopped the two sides from speaking again.

"This is a mistake in the tactical arrangement of our coaching staff. In the situation just now, it is normal not to make a correct judgment."

D'Antoni took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself, and immediately made Stoudemire and Bell stop talking.

Gentry also said: "It is indeed our coaching staff's misjudgment. I didn't expect that the Mavericks would choose a three-pointer at this time.

So we just reminded to pay attention to three-pointers, but did not arrange special three-point defensive tactics. "

At this time, Nash picked up the words: "Coach, Raja, Amare, I don't think we need to worry about whether the last goal was a defensive error. I think the problem of the team is not in the last goal. on a ball.

You know, in the first half of the game, we were still leading by double digits.

Instead of looking for the wrong judgment of the last ball, it is better to analyze the shortcomings in front of us. "

Nash's words made Ling Yang and others nod their heads.

It is really not easy to achieve perfection in this kind of key defense at critical moments.

The Suns really did not expect the Mavericks to arrange a three-point tactic after the ball was handed over to Nowitzki for singles.

However, the team led so much and was at home, but was reversed by the Mavericks. This is the real problem of the Suns in this game.

... "Dallas' defense is better than we imagined." Ling Yang said at this moment.

Nash also said: "Indeed, but I feel that our failure lies in mentality.

Each of us, including me, needs to ask ourselves a question.

Is that when we didn't have to face the Spurs and led by double digits with 64 points in the first half, did everyone feel like they had a win and then the focus started to drop? "

After hearing Nash's words, everyone fell silent.

Obviously, such words hit everyone's mind.

After it was determined that the opponent in the Western Conference Finals was not the Spurs but the Mavericks, except for the slight regret that the Suns could not avenge the Spurs, most of the players were delighted.

After all, the Spurs' defense is too good, and the matchup between the Suns and the Spurs this season is really not good.

So against the Mavericks, for the Suns players, it is easier mentally than against the Spurs.

Entering the first game, the Suns held a relatively relaxed attitude, and their offensive state in the first half of the game was also very good. Offensively, it still achieved a very good lead.

This is undoubtedly an illusion for the Suns players, but it is really not difficult to play the Mavericks.

Nash pointed out such a problem at this time, and everyone didn't realize it during the game. Looking back at this moment, you know that this can be described as hitting the nail on the head.

D'Antoni saw the atmosphere in the entire locker room, and at this moment he began to encourage everyone:

"Guys, what Steve said is very reasonable. We can realize the problems that exist. It is not terrible to have problems. The team thinks together and faces problems together. This is the most important thing!

A series is seven games, not one, and if the Mavericks can take home from us, we can take it back! "

…………

With D'Antoni's encouragement, the atmosphere in the locker room began to ease.

At this time, D'Antoni deliberately found Stoudemire and Bell to talk to help resolve the gap in their hearts. Coupled with Nash's persuasion, the two apologized to each other calmly.

The turmoil in the locker room subsided. What everyone didn't expect was that that night, some media reported the dispute between Stoudemire and Bell on the court.

"Mistakes in key defensive coordination, suspected disputes within the Suns"

"Coaxing in the locker room?It's worse for Suns than losing a home game"

……

Even in the early morning of the next day, Ling Yang also received calls from several media people who came to ask what happened.

The public relations on the Sun's side had noticed the outside reports long ago, and deliberately communicated with all the Suns players in advance.

However, even if the public relations did not remind, Ling Yang would not reveal anything to the outside world.

In an NBA team, players are strictly forbidden to disclose what happened in the locker room. This is a rigid rule.

Although this regulation is often violated time and time again.

Ling Yang and the others did not answer, while the media reporters focused on interviewing and questioning D'Antoni.

...Before the team's training started the next day, D'Antoni was blocked directly, and the questions he asked, apart from the loss in the first game, were mostly about Stoudemire and Bell's final defensive mistakes. Whether people have had conflicts in the locker room.

"It's just a normal tactical exchange on the court. In the locker room after the game, the two didn't have any blame or dispute!"

Although D'Antoni brought it lightly, such a result is obviously not what the media reporters want to see.

All kinds of media, especially those who like to report all kinds of gossip news, were moved by the news and analyzed and reported on this incident one after another.

Even D'Antoni's words are considered to be deliberate suppression and cover-up.

Some media even deliberately interpreted the lips of the conversation between Stoudemire and Bell on the court at that time, so as to further confirm the fact that the two had disputes.

The Suns' lead at home in the first game was reversed, and there was a dispute between teammates after the game. For a while, it pushed the Suns to the forefront.

Coupled with the fact that the Mavericks defeated the Spurs, they were actually praised by many experts in the outside world. For a while, more people looked down on the market of the Suns in this round of the series.

In such a hustle and bustle, on the side of the sun, there is not much effort to explain.

After dealing with the reporters, D'Antoni focused on the post-match analysis of the first game.

He first took Gentry and other coaching staff to conduct a replay analysis, and then organized all the Suns players to conduct analysis, and conducted corresponding tactical drills for the Mavericks' defense. All of this is for the next game two.

In this process, whether it was the replay of the game video or the team's training, Ling Yang participated very seriously, and even gave some small suggestions from the perspective of his own defense.

And after the game, Ling Yang also took the initiative to stay and train.

Not only him, after D'Antoni announced his disbandment, almost all Suns players stayed for extra training.

On the sidelines, D'Antoni looked at the players who were sweating profusely, and smiled at Gentry:

"Man, losing the first game, maybe it's not all bad for us."

Gentry nodded and said: "Mike, I think so.

The first two rounds of the game went too smoothly, and the Spurs, a strong opponent, were eliminated, our players were too impetuous.

But now, the entire arena looks much calmer. "

"So, losing now is better than losing later!" D'Antoni waved his hand and said:

"Let them train, let's go, by the way, tell the physical trainer, pay attention to the state of the players, don't make them too tired."

"Okay." Gentry responded immediately.

In-team training was conducted that day, and on the second day, D'Antoni even conducted a less intensive tactical training.

"Amare, you need to cover more time, you have to let Steve really attract the opponent's defense."

"Ling, you can catch the ball at this distance and shoot directly. It doesn't mean that the closer to the basket, the better the chance."

"Speed! Speed, Steve, on the ball..."

…………

Although it was only a quarter of tactical training time, D'Antoni's filial piety sounded almost all the time.

Even in the middle, there were several times for everyone to pause to arrange tactics.

The most critical thing that D'Antoni emphasized is the speed of ball transfer, and the second is the movement of people.

He even asked Ling Yang to reduce possession of the ball as much as possible unless the defense line is really difficult to tear apart.

After training in this way, D'Antoni also called all the players to watch the first game again and conducted a replay.

All of this is for the game tonight.

……

7:[-] a.m. local time in Phoenix, America West Arena.

Although the outside world has a lot of criticism for the problems exposed in the Suns' first game, and some experts even look down on it.

However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the Suns players. There are still huge crowds of people inside and outside the arena.

"Ling, come on!

"

"Steve, you are the best!"

……

Ling Yang and the others ran out of the tunnel, and the cheers of fans rang out from both sides.

When the DJs at the scene introduced the starting players one by one, the shouts and cheers became more concentrated!

Faced with such shouts and cheers, the players of the Suns did not smile like they did in the first game. Although they were still responding to everyone, everyone's faces were a little more serious.

After entering the arena, all the players surrounded Nash. Nash usually just shouted "Come on", but now he shouted:

"The sun will win! Come on!

! ”

"The sun will prevail!

"

At this moment, the players of the Suns roared suddenly, with a little more emotion on their faces.

The substitute players left the court one after another, and the starting players of the two teams also walked to the court at this time.

Compared with the last game, the starting lineups of the two teams are not significantly different.

The Suns are still Stoudemire, Marion, Ling Yang, Bell, Nash.

For the Mavericks, Diop, Nowitzki, Howard, Terry, Harris.

"Mike, Chris, the Suns took the initiative and lost the last game, what do you think the Suns need to do better in this game?

At the same time, in this game, is it possible for the Mavericks to continue their state in the second half of the previous game and take the initiative in this game? "

Taking advantage of the time when the starters of the two teams were on the court, El McCaw Yin, who was sitting between the two ESPN commentators, asked.

He is the commentator of the Suns at home, so he will naturally agree with the Suns more emotionally, but as a commentator at this moment, he is still relatively neutral.

Mike Breen took the lead and said:

"El, I think the first thing they're going to do is attack the paint.

The Suns must find a way to force the Mavericks' defense to shrink more, so that they can get more opportunities for their outside offense.

If the Suns are obsessed with outside shooting from the very beginning of the game, when the Mavericks' defensive strength improves, they will most likely face the dilemma of the previous game. "

Chris Mullin said at this time: "Although the Suns are at home, they are actually the side with more pressure, and the Mavericks are the easier side, so I prefer the Mavericks to play better. Start, and the Suns need to do better on the defensive end, otherwise the initiative on the court is very likely to be occupied by the Mavericks."

During the conversation between the two, neither of them showed a very optimistic attitude towards the Suns. El-McCoyin saw that the starting players of both sides had stood still, and immediately brought the topic to the field:

"Okay, the game is about to start, let's take a look at the performance of the players from both sides in the second game."

The game officially started, the referee threw the ball up, Stoudemire took the lead to take off, but jumped a little earlier, the ball once again fell into the hands of the Mavericks.
