Chapter 65 The Powerful Sun!
The game officially started. Stoudemire and David Lee jumped the ball in the middle circle. As soon as the referee took the ball, Stoudemire took off on the ground. Before David Lee took off completely, Stoudemire had already touched the ball first and passed it to Nash. Gatsby exclaimed: So fast!

Stoudemire's bouncing speed is indeed very fast, otherwise it would be impossible to become an opponent who repeatedly dunks. Even James could not escape his murderous hands. Some fans even called him "face frame No. 1".

In 2005, Stoudemire suffered cartilage damage and underwent minimally invasive surgery known as the "Superstar Killer". He was also reimbursed for a season. Fans and experts once doubted that he could return to the top by relying on his explosive power. After all, there was a precedent from Webber. .

However, in the second year, he broke all doubts, averaging nearly 20+10 per game, and a career-high shooting percentage of 57.5%. Stoudemire proved that he is still one of the best centers in the league. Press Yao Ming to enter for a while.

In the last season, Stoudemire's back basket also began to be honed, which made Stoudemire more threatening. One-on-one defense in the interior is basically difficult to be defended. In the case of no double-teaming, Stoudemire's 1v1 in the interior Lethality can be said to be the strongest in the league.

His speed can't keep up with the average center. Even if the judgment is correct, Stoudemire has already taken off when defending, and then he dunks, so his shooting rate has reached an astonishing 59%. It can be said that he is one size smaller but his speed is stronger version of O'Neill.

Nash quickly dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, Stoudemire blocked Nash at the top of the arc, and then quickly went down. Nash only took a step inside and threw the ball into the air. Gallinari, who was defending against him, couldn't dodge in time, and Stoudemire directly made a dunk!
"Wow!!!" Phoenix fans exclaimed, and then applauded and cheered. Nash and Stoudemire started the game with classic pick-and-roll dunks!
"So strong!" Gatsby frowned. Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll was too strong. How strong was Stoudemire and Nash's pick-and-roll? Stoudemire was interviewed by reporters at the end of his career:
[Reporter: Do you need to train with him to find a chemical reaction?

Stoudemire: No, it's all about intuition, intuition, once we figure out that I can pick and roll outside and drive to the basket, that's it. We can use our versatility to our advantage. 】

——They are simply a match made in heaven, and they can reach their best condition without much running-in. These Nash's passing skills are related to Stoudemire's versatility:

Nash can guarantee that the ball can be given to Stoudemire at any time, and Stoudemire can guarantee that the ball can be put into the basket in most cases.

Stoudemire's offense is very strong, but his defense is average-his defense ability is very poor, which may be the place to make a fuss.

Gatsby made a few gestures, and Nash pestered him after halftime. He knew Gatsby's shooting range was very long, and he didn't want to give Gatsby space to shoot. Gatsby didn't think about shooting a three-pointer as soon as he came up. , but waited for Gallinari to come up to pick and roll, Gallinari blocked, Gatsby immediately started to pass Nash, and Channing Frye faced Gatsby directly.

Gatsby broke through inside, and when Gallinari slid down inside with Nash on his back, he threw the ball into the sky. Gallinari jumped high to catch the ball, and Stoudemire also jumped up to block Gallinari. Stoudemire was right to come to help defend, but he completely threw away David Lee. Gallinari passed the ball to David Lee, and David Lee easily wiped the board.

Although Gatsby lost an assist, he was quite happy. If the Knicks' two big men inside can pass inside, then the Knicks' tactics will be much richer in the future.

Nash didn't stop, and wanted to pass the half court quickly as soon as he received the ball. This season Gentry coached, the run-and-gun tactics have regained their vitality. Gatsby will not let the Suns easily play the rhythm they want.

He went up to pester Nash when he wanted to start, and prevented Nash from starting easily. Although the Knicks were not slow inside, Stoudemire was too fast. It is very likely to play an extremely gorgeous transition attack with Stoudemire.

Nash's poor physical fitness is compared to NBA players. For ordinary people, his body is definitely a monster. Otherwise, he would have no way to gain a foothold in the NBA. His poor physical fitness is reflected in the confrontation. Difference.

Seeing Gatsby come up to entangle Nash, Nash got rid of Gatsby's entanglement and advanced to the frontcourt with just a few changes of direction, but the opportunity to switch has been lost, and Gatsby has also achieved his goal.

D'Antoni nodded in satisfaction. This disciple's physical fitness is quite poor. Although physical strength is no longer a problem, speed and confrontation are still his weaknesses, but his mind is very clear and he always knows what he should do. Even if such a player has poor physical fitness, he is still the coach's favorite object.

Players who are enough to be called superstars, in terms of physical fitness, the worst should be Larry Bird and Stephen Curry, but both of them will be members of the Hall of Fame. They rely on their superb personal skills and outstanding mind.

When Nash saw that the opportunity had passed, he was not in a hurry. His eyes quickly searched for the position of his teammates, and then under his gesture, the Suns players moved quickly.

The Sun's starting lineup is very strong, in addition to the classic pair of Nash and Stoudemire, there are Grant Hill, Channing Frye and Richardson.

Channing Frye can describe him in just one sentence: the league's top shooting insider!
Jason Richardson is a dunk fighter with excellent jumping ability, has a precise three-pointer, has a good breakthrough ability, and is an extremely sturdy scorer.

Some new fans of Grant Hill may not know it well. In 2016, he entered the highest hall of the basketball world together with Nash, Kidd, and Ray Allen.Some new fans are even asking, why was Grant Hill selected for the Hall of Fame?
Briefly introduce:
In the 90s, Hill led Duke to two consecutive NCAA championships;
He also led a university team to defeat the "Dream Team" who was preparing for the Barcelona Olympics at the time with 62:54 in a training match;
新秀赛季他就可以砍下19.9分6.4篮板5助攻1.8抢断，并当选为1994-95赛季年度最佳新秀，值得一提的是这次和他一起入选名人堂的基德也是那年的最佳新秀，两个人共享了这一奖项；

In his rookie season, Grant Hill was even more exaggerated that he was elected as the top voter in the All-Star Game. In the second year, he defeated the comeback Jordan and was elected consecutively;
Seven All-Star starts, one first team and four second teams.

If such a resume is not enough to make a player enter the Hall of Fame, then it can only be said that the Hall of Fame is too high.
