Chapter 209 Happy Running!
Three points!

Three points again!

After losing the three-pointer, the Suns, who were dragged into a positional battle, handed over to Stoudemire and Hill's personal abilities to continue to explode with high efficiency!
The sun keeps burning its heat, and in Ron's eyes, this is not the reflection of these old people at all...

The powerful Suns scored 35 points in the first quarter, and by the way "only" allowed the Houstonians to score 24 points...

Lowry and Mayo, who sat on the bench, were dumbfounded watching the score...

They don't even understand the scene in which they were defeated...

Of course, I was shot into a sieve, and the opponent was not much better, and the defense was also useless...

It's just that the rockets have always loved bombardment, and the wave of attacks by the liberals is always dragged into positional warfare by their opponents. This time, I was forced to choose to use positional warfare to slow down the derailed rhythm...

Ariza and Chandler have been turned back and run out of breath...

The Suns' understanding of the bombardment is obviously better. If it weren't for Ariza and Chandler who are also athletic defensive players, I am afraid they will be coaxed into a shameful 40 or even 50+ in the first quarter...

"Let's fight!" This is the old man's sincere emotion after reading the statistics of the first quarter...

Playing ground is right... Ron nodded.

Perhaps the fast-paced approach to dealing with other teams is the strength of the Rockets, but in the face of the originator of the bombardment, you still hold a stone to touch his diamonds, either you are funny, or you have mental problems...

Before the start of the new season, 99% of the media and fans are not optimistic about the Suns, because everyone knows what the management has configured for the team.

Driven by saving money, Cole almost forced Gentley to command the team to "run naked" - what the Sharks got back was only salary space, the depth of the bench as thin as a cicada's wings has not been strengthened, and the hardness of the inside defense and the breakthrough ability of the flanks are still better than nothing.

This is a team that can almost only rely on non-stop running, pick and roll, passing and cutting and long-range shots to mediate with opponents.However, Gentley repeated the magic of D'Antoni back then, pushing the advantages of a deformed lineup to the extreme.

yes!Why attack the enemy's strengths by avoiding their weaknesses?If you try to play for the playoffs deliberately with a set of twisted and unfamiliar styles of play, you may not even be able to make it to the playoffs, and the regular season will be ravaged early and you will lose all confidence...

Similar to last year's soap opera - saying that if the Suns happen to enter the playoffs, all Western teams will have to weigh up when facing the Suns with big sharks and 'playing slowly'... In the end, they tacitly gave water to the No.9 Jazz, and solemnly handed over the champion of the league lottery to the Suns...

Don't you have Shaquille O'Neal?Didn't you say that you will play in the playoffs and play at a slow pace?

Why didn't they make it to the playoffs?Oops, what a "beautiful" misunderstanding...

As a result, the oily tone of the western powerhouses directly used their accumulated strength and prepared to have a big explosion in the playoffs. The big sharks vomited blood, traveled to Cleveland without saying hello during the vacation, and formed the famous Czar combination with LeBron...

In fact, Ron thought that even if the Suns made it to the playoffs last year, it would be an inevitable round...

Not everyone is the Rockets who ranked 6th, but have a "champion heart"...

Taking the last train with No.8, my confidence has long been gone...

So, it was nonsense that the Suns who lost their speed equaled a broken leg and could win the championship after entering the playoffs. There is only one sentence that can describe how full the bricks are - bullshit!

Shit!
...

In the second quarter, the Rockets, who were chasing points bit by bit from the rotation lineup, launched a wave of crazy counterattacks under the leadership of Yang Shaoxia...

Whether it's Robin Lopez or Kurt Thomas, one is too young and the other is too old, neither of them can resist Yang Shaoxia's occasional six-veined sword...

The key is that bright smile and excitement. Many reporters silently bet on the sidelines, guessing whether this kid has received a date invitation from a young fashion model, or wants to become a father...

Fortunately, there is Nick Young, fortunately, this kid didn't go crazy today...

Ron smoothed his chest in fear...

Yang Shaoxia is a double-edged sword. When it's good, it can help you in a timely manner, and when it's bad, it's enough to sprinkle salt on your wounds...

He is such a person, a chaotic hero, it is really hard to play Dragic who wanted to give his old club a little color from the beginning...

However, after a timeout by Gentley, he strangled the young man to death before the rain was about to come. What puzzled Ron was that the Suns actually had defenses in some aspects!

So in some respects, Gently is doing better than D'Antoni.

To be exact, Gentley has been in the league for 22 years -- all in suits, not jerseys.This allows Gentley to know the rules of the American basketball game better than the returnee D'Antoni.As a personal follower, Gentley went with Brown to win the NCAA championship, and then returned to the NBA to take over the Spurs.

The masters’ evaluation of the disciples is: No matter where he is, he will force the players to play desperately and defend with all their strength.

Defense is indeed one of the divisions of Gentley and D'Antoni's coaching philosophy, because all the Suns players are almost scolded to the verge of collapse, and Stoudemire has to remind reporters nervously from time to time: "Don't say I don't defend anymore. I have worked really hard."

A 37-year-old perimeter player forced to become the team's rebounding leader-Grant Hill will tell you what Gentley told him to do, "He made me stare at the rebound. He always emphasized that as soon as the ball is shot, the 3, 4, and 5 positions only need to make a choice in an instant: grab the offensive rebound, or run back to the defense."

This is Gently's pragmatic style, and he's tired of idiots who keep their arms up for half a century after shooting like a killer.

"If you don't hurry up and return, those stupid pigs who are still staring at the basket and posing, even if the ball is scored, a thousand or 1, they will do 100 push-ups for me before continuing to train!" Gently said viciously.

Gentley also broke D'Antoni's 7-man rule.Now except for the 5 starters, Dudley, Barbosa, Brooks, Amundsen (who knows?) all have a stable rotation time, Lopez, Clark and Collins (yes! The gay man) are also given specific roles (definitely much more important than Shaq, Garbage Bell, Fat Olympic). A rotation system with as many as 11-12 people is unimaginable in the D'Antoni era.Gentley encourages more people to share offense and defense, so as to make up for the team's aging and insufficient bench weaknesses. The so-called lack of lineup depth also needs to be created.

Perhaps because of Larry Brown's mentorship, Gentley emphasized that the roles on the court are clear, and the five positions perform their duties.

Barbosa is defined as a complete second player, dedicated to the dunk king Jason Richardson who is not calm and has a special spare tire...

Brooks is a full-time Nash substitute, like D'Antoni's obsession with Diao, Barbosa, and Marion, and the old Nelson's resignation to Jackson and Ellis' multi-role play in the run-and-gun system.

Nash’s rotation time is no longer as mechanical as it used to be—whether the team leads by 15 points or falls behind by 15 points, whoever should play, and the 13th lying down for 10 minutes at the interval between two quarters no longer happens.

So there was Nash, who appeared again in the middle of the second quarter, with a group of substitutes, and beat his former apprentice Dragic and Yang Shaoxia who started to shoot randomly...

Dudley also scored a three-pointer. Barbosa completely regarded the hinterland of the Rockets penalty area as his own backyard, scoring like a bag. Lopez even slapped his hairstyle with an explosive head that was comparable to Jordan Hill's bloody caps...

The Suns, who were not good at "final offense" in the past, have played a very efficient second and fourth quarters this season. The coach will save the five players who are in the best state (especially defense) and not necessarily the starters until the end before the break.

In multiple games, we'll see Dudley substitute for Hill, Richardson or Frye, playing long hours in the final quarter.

And this time, at the end of the second quarter, Stoudemire didn't even play at all.

Nash continued to lead Dudley, Lopez, Amundsen, Barbosa (but never let him take the lead) to fight with Houston's starting five tigers on the court...

Gentley is very partial to Steve Nash’s honest traditional point guard, Dudley’s clear running position and rational shooting flanks, Amundsen’s grinning defensive mad dog, fixed-point breakthrough and rational Barbosa, and no longer like D’Antoni who is obsessed with Barbosa’s lightning in the crazy singles mode, obsessed with Ms. Hacker’s cold shot, obsessed with Stoudemire’s overlord step offensive foul...

Last-minute wave throwing and nagging are strictly prohibited.

The halftime whistle blows...

From the way Nash smiled and raised his hands, and the mental outlook of the disgraced Rockets players, you can see the actual situation of the game...

After Yang Shaoxia showed his strength and almost caught up with the score in the first half, Nash led a wave of "CBA" who was in better shape to freeze Yang Shaoxia first, and then beat out the starting Five Tigers Rockets who did not have any hard problems...

77:62, it seems that the Rockets almost scored much more points than in the previous first half, but this is based on the high number of offensive rounds of the Suns in 3~5 seconds...

And even Ron couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh...

Although it is tantamount to giving away a Shaq (or Hacker Marion), they are the same as before-the giant team that is going straight to the O'Brien Cup!

As Ron worried, in order to welcome the arrival of this new era of heroes, Davis (Magic owner) went a step further before and after the All-Stars, recruiting almost crazily, and Old Buss even yelled that "defending the title is higher than the luxury tax". Crazy owner Cuban (Mavericks) and Allen (New York) spent as much money as before. Cleveland made the most sincere flattery to His Majesty (James). The ax is starting to lose money...

Robert Savo of the Suns?He has long given up on winning the championship. After the Lakers entered the factory for overhaul, he did not make any targeted reinforcements related to powerful enemies. Except for the Brooks-Dragic swap with Ron a long time ago, he originally only wanted to hold his wallet tightly. His biggest wish was to earn a few more playoff games this season.

So all Phoenix players, fans, still put aside those fantasies about making progress, let the O'Brien Cup go to hell!
In fact, there are some things that you don't grab, and if you don't grab them, fate will quietly appear in front of you...

The Suns are only one game away from the league leader...

At first, who would have thought that the leader of the new era of heroes would be this seemingly mediocre aging team?

This is fate, you can only believe in it: the process is more important than the result, just like being in love is more worth experiencing than getting a certificate.

"I'm not the kind of person who feels that everything is futile if I don't win the championship. It requires many factors, including luck." Steve Nash always responded with a faint smile, "Go and enjoy the fun of the game itself."

bring it on!Don't think about the result, just continue like this-let's run happily!
　The second watch is delivered to, please ask for a monthly ticket!
