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

"Huaxia TV, Huaxia TV, audience friends, welcome to watch Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals, the Suns challenge the Mavericks away.

I am Yu Jia, and today I will explain the game with Zhang Pingzhang.

The game is about to start, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides, hey..."

Yu Jia was preparing the report of the starting lineups before, and when he saw the starting lineups of the two teams appearing on the big screen at this moment, he suddenly became surprised.

"Stoudemire, Marion, James Jones, Bell, Nash, Ling Yang didn't start today."

Zhang Ping was also surprised at this time, "Ling Yang didn't appear in the starting lineup, it must be because of some injuries, we didn't receive relevant news before the game."

The Huaxia fans who were still wondering why the Suns didn't have Ling Yang in the starting lineup, now their hearts skipped a beat when they heard Zhang Ping's words.

Sina, Hupu... In the discussion areas and chat rooms of major websites, the discussion about Lingyang instantly swiped the screen.

"Where did Ling Yang go?"

"Why didn't Ling Yang start?"

"Ling Yang won't be really hurt, don't do it."

……

Just when everyone was discussing, the camera has been given to the field at this moment, maybe the photographer is also wondering why Ling Yang didn't start.

So at this moment, the camera was specially shown on the bench.

"Ling Yang was still wearing the jersey, and Ling Yang actually participated in the warm-up just before the game.

It means that he is still on the team's roster, maybe there are other circumstances, but Ling Yang didn't start, which is really surprising. "

Not only Yu Jia and Zhang Ping, who were commenting in Huaxia, were surprised, but Mavericks on the scene were also surprised.

Avery Johnson took a look at the Suns' starting lineup, and didn't think about why Ling Yang didn't appear in the starting lineup, but was thinking about the tactical changes that this lineup might bring.

The Mavericks player who immediately stopped and was about to go on the court immediately warned: "Be careful of the sun's outside attack!"

The Mavericks players immediately nodded. Except for Josh Howard, who took a special look at Ling Yang who was sitting on the bench, the rest of the Mavericks didn't think much about it yet.

The Mavericks fans, however, couldn't help arguing when they saw the Suns on the bench and Ling Yang was sitting on the bench.

"Is this guy not going to play today?"

"What's the situation? Why is this guy sitting on the sidelines?"

……

When saying this, many Mavericks fans actually had joy on their faces.

After watching the last three games in the series, Mavericks fans actually have a better understanding of the Suns players.

Although the Mavericks are leading by a large score at the moment, what the Mavericks fans have to admit is that Ling Yang has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the team.

Especially Ling Yang's defensive pressure not only forced Josh Howard, an important scorer of the team, to play completely out of order, but also greatly affected the offense of other players.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Yang is the sufferer of every striker in the team.

And now, if Ling Yang won't play, it's good news for him.

"If this guy doesn't play, our chances of winning today's game will be even greater."

… "It looks like we're going to get match point like Miami soon!"

……

The Mavericks fans never thought that the Suns put Ling Yang off the court purely for tactical changes. Since most of the season, Ling Yang has been the absolute main force of the Suns.

Both offensive and defensive ends have undertaken a lot of tasks.

The best rookie at the end of the year, the best defensive player at the end of the year, how could such a person be a substitute?

Ling Yang, who was sitting on the sidelines, could actually feel the restlessness of the scene when the camera swept over him, and he could probably understand everyone's thoughts just after thinking about it a little.

While secretly happy in his heart, the expression on Ling Yang's face also became extremely serious, his eyes were fixed on the starting players of the two teams walking towards the field, and his eyes looked extremely complicated.

That appearance, it seems that Ling Yang himself is really in some condition.

And Ling Yang's performance, in the eyes of the Mavericks fans, made them more certain of their guesses.

Just as the Mavericks fans were smiling, the starting players of the two teams had already arrived in the middle of the field, ready for the start of the game.

Still Stoudemire and Diop jumped the ball, and the Suns took the lead to get the ball.

Because of Avery Johnson's instructions, the Mavericks players on the court at this moment are extremely vigilant about the Sun's perimeter. After Nash dribbled the ball to halftime, the Sun's defense expanded very much.

Even Diop followed Stoudemire to a high position and did a good job of defending from the outside.

But Nash was not in a hurry to launch an attack from the outside. Based on the fact that he didn't play pick-and-roll tactics with Stoudemire, he broke through after a feint.

Immediately, during the breakthrough process, Nash handed the ball directly to Marion who cut from the baseline.

After receiving the ball, Marion avoided Nowitzki's defense and scored 2 points with a backhand layup.

Coming to the other side, Nowitzki also responded immediately. Facing Marion's defense, he made a fadeaway jumper and hit the ball steadily.

In these few games, whether it was winning or losing, Nowitzki's state was very good, and he scored 38 points in the last game.

At the beginning of the game, Nowitzki continued to show good form, which also made the Mavericks fans have more expectations.

Nowitzki maintains the offensive level, and a very important main player on the Suns side is absent. No matter how you look at it, the Mavericks have a greater chance of winning.

Especially Sun's attack in the next round convinced the Mavericks fans that Ling Yang's appearance was purely due to Ling Yang's own problems, not any tactical adjustments.

Because in the next round, the Suns' offense was a classic Nash and Stoudemire pick-and-roll offense.

Stoudemire received the feed from Nash, hit the board in the three-second zone to face Diop's interference ball and missed, and still used the pick-and-roll to attack the inside tactic.

For two consecutive rounds, James Jones didn't touch the ball, just ran back and forth.

Even all the players on the Mavericks side, including Avery Johnson, had a vague thought in their hearts at the moment, that is, there is really something wrong with Lingyang.

It's not that there are any new tactical arrangements on the Sun's side.

So, when the Mavericks launched an offense, Josh Howard, who came to the other side, was the first to get excited.

....Today, I finally don't have to face the suffering lord Ling Yang!

After Terry dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, Josh Howard immediately lifted it up from the sideline, and at the same time actively reached out for the ball to attack.

What I am facing is Jones instead of Ling Yang. If I don't attack at such an opportunity, I am sorry for myself.

Terry also guessed what Josh Howard was thinking, and decisively sent the ball over.

After receiving the ball, Howard also played extremely confidently. He directly forced James Jones, and then made an emergency stop outside the three-second zone to shoot a jumper.

Jones obviously couldn't bring Howard the same defensive pressure as Ling Yang. Coupled with Howard's extremely relaxed and confident play, the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

"With Ling Yang not playing, Josh Howard obviously played more confidently."

Zhang Ping, who was nicknamed Zhang Heli by Huaxia basketball fans, began to comment at this moment.

"If Nowitzki and Howard are allowed to open at the same time, it will not be a good thing for the Suns.

After all, Terry's performance in this round of the series is fairly stable, and he can contribute good offensive firepower. "

At this time, Yu Jia once again informed the fans in front of the screen about the topic of everyone's concern, "At present, we still haven't received any news about why Ling Yang can't play, we can only continue to see what happens next .”

Ling Yang, who was missed by everyone, was sitting safely on the sidelines at the moment, watching the game on the field, and seeing Josh Howard complete a normal attack, he seemed very excited, and felt amused.

"It's time to start."

At the same time, Ling Yang secretly groaned in his heart.

In the previous two rounds, Jones didn't touch the ball. In this round, this point should be used, otherwise D'Antoni's changing tactics would be meaningless.

When Ling Yang was thinking like this, Nash had already dribbled the ball to the half court again.

Still in the pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, Nash dribbled into the three-point line, but did not rush to give the ball to Stoudemire, but continued to break through and rush to the basket.

The Mavericks' offense in this round was significantly tighter than the previous two rounds.

Nash dribbled forward, Harris followed closely, Diop quickly shrank to the basket, and even Josh Howard shrank towards the inside, ready to defend Stoudemire.

Seizing this opportunity, Jones quickly began to move, pulling away from Josh Howard.

Just when he came outside the three-point line in the right corner, Nash's pass was also passed directly across the Mavericks' prolific defense.

Catch, jump and shoot!

Jones shot extremely resolutely. He knew that this was the most important thing for the coaching staff to arrange for him to play.

"Shh!

"

Jones' shooting did not disappoint D'Antoni either, he fully grasped such a big open opportunity, made a three-pointer, and made a hollow hit!

Seeing this scene, everyone in Taiyang on the sidelines couldn't help being secretly happy.

The tactics arranged before the Suns game came out!

First attack the inside for two rounds, attract the Mavericks' defensive attention, and then fire from the outside!

After Avery Johnson saw the ball, his brows were slightly wrinkled, but they soon relaxed.

... This attack is a routine attack, and he feels that there is no special place for it yet.

The ball came to the Mavericks' side, and Josh Howard once again took the initiative to ask for the ball to attack. 3

It was indeed very difficult for Jones to defend Howard, and he was suddenly killed by Howard again near the three-second zone.

But at this time, Marion, who has excellent defense ability, appeared.

Howard's self-confidence is indeed sufficient. Even facing Marion's defense at this moment, he still chooses to attack.

It's just that Marion is not Jones. He put enough defensive pressure on Josh Howard's offense.

Marion protected the backboard and handed the ball to Nash.

Fight back quickly!

At this moment, Nash dribbled forward quickly, bringing the rhythm completely up.

Harris' speed is not slow, but facing a rhythm master like Nash, it is still a bit difficult.

Nash's speed is not purely fast, he uses rhythm changes more to find opportunities.

So even though Harris led the defense from the entire court, he still couldn't suppress Nash's running and bombing. When Nash dribbled the ball and came outside the three-point line, the Mavericks' defense was basically not in place.

Seeing that the Mavericks' defensive formation in front was not in place, Nash made a feint from outside the three-point line and was about to charge forward with the dribble.

Just as Harris retreated quickly, the ball in Nash's hand had already been passed, and it was given to James Jones who had just run behind him.

"Damn!"

Howard, who was preparing for Nash, saw that the ball was passed to Jones again. He couldn't help but cursed secretly, and then quickly rushed towards Jones.

Howard's defense of this ball is much faster than just now. After all, he has not completely shrunk to the inside at this moment.

It's just that Jones is also extremely decisive in his shot at the moment. The hit on the first shot gave Jones enough confidence. Facing Howard's fast year, Jones opened his hand outside the three-point line and shot!

At this moment, Ling Yang who was sitting on the sidelines saw his eyes brighten.

He still couldn't judge whether Jones could score the goal, but he looked at Howard's defensive posture, but he vaguely noticed that the force of the attack was obviously too violent.

If this trend is followed, the other party is very likely to...

"drop!"

Just when Ling Yang was thinking this way, on the field, Howard who rushed forward couldn't stop, and directly collided with Jones who landed.

next moment……

"Shh!"

A clear net scraping sound resounded throughout the arena.

3+1!

Jones's ball not only made a shot, but also caused Josh Howard's foul, giving him a 3+1 chance!

"nice shot!

"

On the sidelines, Ling Yang yelled directly when he saw it. He was about to stand up immediately after the sun, but with a flash of his mind, he still sat firmly on the bench and just applauded vigorously.

Acting and doing a full set, like yourself, should look more like the action remains unchanged.

At this moment, the Mavericks fans at the scene were also slightly noisy.

In the previous few rounds, they were still secretly glad that Ling Yang couldn't play, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, Jones scored two three-pointers in a row, and even had a 3+1 chance!

….Jones on the field was pulled up by the Suns players who came, and he jumped up and down on the field with excitement, smiling all over his face.

He doesn't know what will happen in the next game, but with these two goals, he has basically completed the task that D'Antoni gave him to start the game.

Stepping onto the free throw line, Jones didn't waste such an easy opportunity to score, and steadily made additional free throws.

8:4!After four rounds, the Suns gained a 4-point lead!

Avery Johnson had already vaguely realized at this time that D'Antoni's playing on Jones was intentional, in order to open up the situation on the outside.

Thinking of this, Johnson immediately stood up, waved his hand and shouted towards the court.

The Mavericks players looked over one after another. Although Johnson's shouts could not be heard clearly in such a noisy environment, all of them understood the meaning of the head coach, which was to strengthen the defense of the perimeter.

The Mavericks have indeed strengthened their perimeter defense, which prevented the Suns from directly getting three-point shots in the next few rounds of offense.

However, with Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion Iron Triangle all able to contribute points, the Suns can still maintain a good lead on the court.

At 12:8, the game lasted to 3 minutes and 23 seconds. At this moment, the sun is still leading the field, and the ball is still in the hands of the sun.

In fact, it's time for the first official timeout, but because there is no dead ball on the field, such a timeout has never been called.

Nash took control of the ball and came to the half court, observing the positions of his teammates on the court, and then, he pointed again, and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Nash successfully got rid of Harris and rushed to the three-point line, attracting the defensive attention of the Mavericks' players. lyon.

After receiving the pass from Nash, Marion immediately dribbled forward from the top lane, not only attracting Nowitzki's defense, but also allowing Harris to follow in the defense.

At this time, Nash, who had just passed the pass, rushed to the right corner quickly.

At the same time, Marion, who had just dribbled forward, also quickly sent the ball back to Nash's direction.

At this moment, Harris happened to be blocked by Marion, and it was obviously not easy for Nowitzki to rush over to defend.

Seeing this, Josh Howard, who was defending James Jones at a 45-degree angle, also felt a little tangled in his heart.

In recent rounds, he paid great attention to the defense of Jones, and did not let Jones have the opportunity to catch the ball and attack at all.

He knew that if he went to defend Nash at this time, it was very likely that Jones would get a three-point shot again.

only……

Gritting his teeth, Josh Howard still rushed towards Nash. After all, he couldn't just watch Nash make a wide open shot like this.

Because of the early action, when the basketball flew into Nash's hands, Josh Howard almost rushed to Nash.

The next moment, he stopped and ran back helplessly.

Because at the same time that the basketball fell into Nash's hands, Nash had almost no hesitation, and had already pushed the ball horizontally and passed it directly to Jones.

Catch, jump, shoot!

Jones, who had been waiting for this scene for a long time, finally waited for his chance again. At this moment, he voted extremely decisively!

Although both Howard and Harris rushed towards Jones, neither of them could give too much defensive interference.

"Shh!"

The good rhythm allowed Jones to maintain his previous excellent touch, and made another hollow three-pointer, making a steady hit!

"drop!"

Seeing this scene, Johnson couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately called a timeout.

15:8, the point difference between the two sides is not big, but Jones made three three-pointers in less than 4 minutes, which made him have to call a timeout to arrange defensive tactics.

The starting players of the two teams walked to the sidelines. At the same time, D'Antoni also turned his head and said to Ling Yang: "Ling, after this timeout is over, you sit on the sidelines first, and you will be ready to play in one minute."

Originally, D'Antoni planned to play in the 5th and 6th minutes of the game, and Jones made some contributions on the court to force the Mavericks to change their defense and replace Ling Yang.

But now, he feels that everything is going according to the plan of the coaching staff before the game.

Next, Jones will definitely become the key target of the Mavericks. After the Mavericks get used to implementing such defensive tactics, it is time for Ling Yang to play.
