NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 464 The Suns Don’t Want Knicks to Live

After a layup, Marbury, like the previous game, stood in front of the baseline, waiting for Nash to pass the ball.

Nash was a little nervous. This suffocating defensive intensity would seriously affect the performance of the run-and-gun tactics. He was not very strong and he was not used to this style of play.

Of course he can't serve, he is the tactical initiator, he has to receive the ball, the serve is Kurt Thomas, and then Tim Thomas covers him to receive the ball, and the two main attackers, Richardson and Stoudemire The frontcourt is ready to attack.

Marbury saw that Kurt Thomas was serving and immediately ran to Nash.

In this way, beside Nash, Marbury and Posey double-teamed.

And Tim Thomas, who covered him to catch the ball, was defended by Battier.

Such a large defensive speed gave Nash a headache.

"As far as the Knicks lineup is concerned, the offensive point is still not good, not as good as the Suns. The attacking ability of the double Thomas is still worse, and the speed is not very fast, and some can't keep up with the speed of running and bombing." Zhang Lili said.

"The transaction should continue." Yu Jia said.

"Serve the ball." At this time Zhang Lili shouted.

Nash continued to run irregularly, and finally ran out of a receiving position and received the ball, but then, as soon as he turned around, he was double-teamed by Marbury and Posey.

In this way, he could only pass the ball to Kos Thomas who had just sent the ball.

He thought Posey would leave him as soon as the ball went out so he could get it back, but he was disappointed Posey didn't go and still double-teamed him, which gave him a big headache.

This is still the backcourt, the backcourt starts to double-team, what does the Suns want to do?

"This defense, the Suns want to strangle Nash to death, and don't want him to live." Zhang Li sighed.

"Nash is the engine of running and bombing. Without him, how can the Knicks run and bomb?" Yu Jia laughed.

In this way, Kurt Thomas took possession of the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

In the frontcourt, Posey, who double-teamed Nash, came over and defended him.

But through this kind of defense, the Knicks' running and bombing not only lost their fast serve, but also lost their fast passing. The fast running and bombing became a positional battle.

"This time the Knicks are hanging again." Yu Jia said.

"It seems that this kind of tactic is really not suitable for the playoffs, and the defense will stretch the hips as soon as it comes up." Zhang Reasonable said.

Nash finally took control of the ball, but not only did he not make a fast serve at this time, but also nearly 10 seconds of attack time had passed.

But he was preparing to organize an attack, but immediately discovered a terrible thing. The Suns double-teamed him again, and Posey, who had just left, came back again.

"Kurt Thomas was really let go. The Suns are going to kill Nash completely today." Yu Jia said.

"The Knicks have five starters. Only Stoudemire has a bit of low-post singles ability. The other four are shooting from the outside. Kurt Thomas can also score from the outside. But let him go, as long as Nash can be restricted, this tactic is also good. Feasible." Zhang Li said.

On the right-wing three-point line, there was no one in front of Turko Thomas, and he looked at Nash.

Under the double-team, Nash withdrew from the top of the arc to near the center line, and finally found a chance to pass the ball from Marbury's head to Kurt Thomas.

At this moment, Li Ba, who was guarding the high position, rushed to the right-wing three-point line.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba steals the ball successfully.

Marbury rushed to the front court for the first time.

And Nash was blocked by Posey.

In this way, Marbury received the ball, unguarded, and hit a layup.

0:4, the Suns lead.

"This tactic is too targeted." Yu Jia laughed.

"Double-team Nash, don't give him a chance to pass the ball quickly, don't give him a chance to drive, don't give him a chance to shoot, don't let him have a chance to pass the ball comfortably, and then the Suns strengthen the complement to the open players. Defense, the tactics are risky, but coupled with the strong defensive ability of the Hammers and the Suns' already formed defensive system, the ball just now is a good embodiment of this tactical effect." Zhang Lili laughed.

"Yes, I guess the hammer has been staring at the Knicks who was emptied. He will stare at whoever is emptied." Yu Jia laughed.

"Is this considered digging a hole? I gave you an empty seat, why don't you pass on Nash?" Zhang Lili laughed.

In the next quarter, at 8:31, the Suns used this digging tactic, coupled with Li Ba's control of the rebound, to play 13 fast breaks in the whole quarter, gaining the absolute upper hand.

For the Knicks, Nash was restricted, and he couldn't run and shoot at all. The team made 13 turnovers, and Nash made only 7 pass errors.

Of course, the Suns also missed a few times. After all, this kind of emptying tactic, once the defense is not replenished in time, the consequences will be very serious.

But in general, because Nash was restricted and his efficiency was severely reduced, he did not score or break through the pass, and the Knicks' running and bombing fell into a quagmire.

But 8 points in a single quarter is not the lowest score in the league. In the 99 Clippers vs. Lakers, the Clippers only scored 3 points in the second quarter.

Li Ba scored 2 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals in a single quarter.

"Hehe, this is only one session, with 5*5 data, the hammer has completed 3 of them." Seeing Li Ba's data, Zhang Lili was very happy.

"The Suns made 8 steals in the whole quarter. The Knicks really can't help it. They can't play the run-and-gun tactics at all." Yu Jia laughed.

"Hohohoho..."

On the Knicks bench, Nash and others were panting, sweating profusely, and extremely nervous.

Nash felt that after this quarter, he was more tired than playing a game. The defense that never relaxed for a moment really made him want to die.

At the beginning of the second quarter, most of the Suns came off the bench, but Li Ba was not there. He and Chandler partnered on the inside, and the outside line consisted of Payton, Joe Johnson, and Tony Leon.

And the Knicks, in order to chase points, did not play any of the five starters.

With Posey and Battier both in the starting lineup, the defense from the bench has dropped a bit, but it's still strong.

And the defense against Nash still adopts double-teaming, and rookie Tony Allen is responsible for double-teaming.

The Suns attacked and Payton advanced to the frontcourt.

Li Ba rushed to the basket with Kurt Thomas on his shoulders. Kurt was only a little over a hundred centimeters away. How could he stand up to him?

At this time Payton passed the ball.

Li Ba received the ball with his right hand, pressed Kurt Thomas with his left hand, and took off with one foot.

Stoudemire kept staring at Li Ba, but Li Ba didn't attack in the first quarter. This time, he came out from behind and slapped Li Ba hard.

"Snapped!"

The ball jumped up and Li Ba was capped.

"Oh!"

Li Ba was rarely capped, and there was a sudden exclamation in the arena.

"Special!"

Li Ba was furious, turned around, took a step forward to catch the ball, then turned around again, took half a step forward, his body rose violently, and his arms smashed angrily.

Stoudemire took off again and blocked the side.

At the same time, Kurt Thomas also jumped up and made a block.

"Oh!"

Li Ba bumped into Kurt Thomas, who drove away in response.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba hit Stoudemire's left hand with a ball and smashed it open.

"boom!"

The arms were dunked heavily, and the basket trembled violently.

"Yeah! The hammer knocked over the defensive player and gave the Knicks a super dunk!" The Suns commentator roared loudly.

"Defend! Prevent them to death!"

When it landed, Li Ba roared fiercely.

The Knicks, who had the second-best record in the league, were beaten like this. Payton was extremely excited and immediately posted Nash to prevent him from receiving the ball.

Tony Allen also posted over and started stalking.

Due to the weakened defensive energy, the Suns only double-teamed Nash, and all the others returned to the backcourt.

Kurt Thomas sent the ball to Stoudemire, and Stoudemire wanted to give it to Nash. How could there be a chance?

"The sun really doesn't want the Knicks to live." Zhang Li sighed.
