Chapter 289 The Sun's Strategy

If Stoudemire had publicly admitted that he couldn't guard Yao Ming in previous meetings, D'Antoni would have scolded him long ago. That is to say, acknowledging one's own weakness and inadequacy is the prerequisite for competing against a strong team. Only by admitting that one is not strong enough can one accurately position oneself and come up with a way to counter an opponent.

On that day, the Suns' video analysis room was always brightly lit, and everyone discussed it until very late before dispersing.

On May 5, the Warriors' Oracle Arena, the first game of the NBA17-2009 Western Conference Finals was held here.The Warriors distributed golden T-shirts to all the spectators who entered the stadium, and the Warriors fans were also very supportive. The Oracle Arena was full of seats, and looking around in the center of the field, it has become a golden ocean.

The players of the Suns are all seasoned veterans. Naturally, they will not make any changes to the pressure created by the home fans, but the Warriors are different.Except for Yao Ming and Lagabel who have played in the NBA for many years, the Warriors are very young. Li Du is the team leader, and he has only been in the NBA for four seasons, and he was injured in one of the seasons.

So Li Du himself was very excited in the face of the enthusiasm of the fans, let alone Curry, a rookie who had just entered the NBA.

With the excitement of his heart, Li Du began to use the new fighting style he had just learned when he was warming up before the game. When he practiced boxing and stretching his body, he exerted all his strength in every movement, bringing out bursts of boxing style, without any scruples Demonstrating the dominance of Chinese martial arts, the Warriors players and the fans on the scene were immediately inspired by him. The cheers of the audience were like thunder, drowning out the voices of the players on the field.

No matter how experienced the Suns players are, under this kind of scene, they seem to be calm on the surface, but they feel difficult in their hearts. They know very well that the mentality of the players will change amidst the enthusiasm of the fans. Conditions are likely to get better.

The jump ball was played between Yao Ming and Robin Lopez. Lopez is a typical traditional center. He is tall, arms long, heavy, and slow.

Lopez's wingspan is longer than Yao Ming's, but his height is not as high as Yao Ming's, so when they jumped the ball, they almost touched the falling basketball. As soon as the two of them exerted force, the basketball did not fall to either side, but fell to both of them. side.

Li Du was standing near the middle circle. His eyes were quick and his hands were quick. As soon as his heart moved, his body rushed out, and he grabbed the basketball with his long arms.

The Suns seemed to have known for a long time that they couldn't catch Li Du. Just as Li Du grabbed the basketball, they all retreated to their own side of the court, ready to fight.

Tonight, Curry is guarded by Grant Hill, once hailed as "Jordan's successor", although his physical ability has declined significantly after the injury, he has a thorough grasp of the situation on the court and the opponent .D'Antoni arranged him to defend Li Du, hoping that Hill would cause Li Du some trouble.

Li Du didn't stick to the ball after he dribbled the ball halfway, and immediately passed the ball to Curry.It is Nash who defends Curry. His defense has always been bad, but it is still possible to interfere with Curry's three-pointers.

After getting the ball, Curry did not rush to attack, but began to watch Li Du's gestures.Then, when Yao Ming had already run the frontcourt, he took advantage of the opportunity and played a high pick-and-roll with Curry. Curry used Yao Ming's cover to shake off Nash and rushed towards the inside of the Suns.

Stoudemire is a tyrant guarding the inside line. Seeing Curry rushing towards him, he raised his hand to block him.At this time, Curry flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew out to the left, and fell into the hands of Li Du, who ran back and swiped Hill, and cut into the inside.

When Li Du received the ball, he didn't care that Stoudemire was still in the air.He jumped up to meet Stoudemire.Stoudemire saw that Li Du was rushing towards him in the air, and he didn't resist at all. He forcibly twisted his waist in the air, avoiding Li Du, and let him complete an easy dunk.

After landing, Li Du glanced at Xiaosi with a smile, turned around and returned to defense without saying a word.

Stoudemire's seemingly weak behavior actually happened to be Li Du's biggest headache!Basketball is a passionate sport, but one must keep a calm mind during the game. Stoudemire was a reckless man in the past and was often framed by his opponents. Now he instinctively avoids Li Du. Apart from fear, the most important thing is to protect yourself from being hurt by Li Du, so that you can stay on the field better.

The lineup of the Warriors in the playoffs is different from that in the regular season. Li Du and Yao Ming are one outside and one inside. Curry and Lara Gabel are sent outside, and the inside is still playing the main force at the beginning of the regular season Radmanovic at center, as for Crawford, seems to prefer the look of the basketball in his hands, so he's a duck to water on the Warriors' bench.

In this game against the Suns, Nelson also sent Yao Ming and Radmanovic to guard the inside.

When Li Du saw Nash running over with the ball, he immediately went up to meet him, but Nash passed the ball to Grant Hill who was standing at the 45-degree three-point line on the left wing when he was still far away. He brought Li Du to the other side of the field.

This behavior surprised Li Du. He followed Nash to the bottom corner of the other side of the three-point line. When he was still chasing Nash, Grant Hill did not waste time. It was Lagabel who defended him. When Lagabel took a step forward to block, Hill pushed Lagabel sideways, then jumped high, and locked Lagabel to make a super long mid-range shot.

For several consecutive rounds, the Warriors played according to the established tactics. Li Du and Yao Ming caused D'Antoni a headache even more, but even though they fell behind at the beginning, the Suns still insisted on their tactics.

Nash passed the ball again, Hill and Stoudemire picked and rolled on the move, and Stoudemire finally dunked the ball in. , Li Du didn't look at anyone else this time, just stared at Nash, and then asked: "Senior, is this the way you came up with? Reduce you to an ordinary defender and let Hill lead the offense?"

Nash grinned and said, "This will weaken your role on the field! Li, I admit that you are very strong, but no matter how strong you are, you can't defend two people at the same time!"

Li Du was taken aback. Logically speaking, this is indeed the case. He mainly defends Nash, so he can't take care of other people. However, Nash's role cannot be replaced by anyone. Can Hill do well?Is that why the Suns trust him?

Li Du glanced at his mouth and said, "Senior, in order to win me, you really used all kinds of methods!"
