Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 220 Another victory

In the visiting locker room of the Rose Garden Arena, the entire Suns looked at each other in silence.They originally thought they would be able to tie the big score again, but now they are 10 points behind at halftime. Although it seems that the gap is not big, the morale of the team has been greatly damaged, and everyone is very upset.

This irritability does not come from the individual's performance in the first half, but from the fans booing them in the stands. Even Nash, who is as old as Nash, can't help but turn slightly pale when he thinks of the overwhelming noise attack. .Since entering the league in 1996, he has seen many big scenes. Although he has not made it to the finals, in his opinion, even the finals should not have such a loud noise.

But now the Blazers fans did it, and they made the Rose Garden a nightmare for the Suns.In fact, the Trail Blazers' home court during the regular season was not that scary, and it was even a bit dull in many cases, after all, they suffered from a wide range of injuries.But now it seems that their home court is like the team is going to hit the championship. When they entered the player tunnel, they clearly saw the fanatical expressions on the faces of the fans, which made them feel a little chill in their hearts.

Gentry has no good solution. The Blazers have gained the upper hand in this way. There is no risky move or change of formation. They just use their most familiar tactics to suppress the Suns.Their advantage largely comes from off the field, and the fans have played an unprecedented role.The morale of the two sides has also undergone earth-shaking changes. If the morale of the Suns was high before the game and the Blazers were a little low because of being too cautious, then the morale of the Blazers is no less than that of the Suns, or even worse. This is the role of the atmosphere of the scene, weakening the opponent while strengthening oneself.

He can only hope that the players themselves will make psychological adjustments, and this is also because he has sufficient confidence in the players under him.Even leaving Nash aside, Stoudemire, Hill, and Richardson are all veteran players with a lot of experience. As long as they can adjust their mentality in time, there should be no problem.So he simply explained the tactics of the second half and asked the players to take the time to rest and recover, hoping to tie the score in the second half. It would be even better if they could tie the score before the fourth quarter.

Nash consciously reduced his shots, but his organization suddenly lost its effect. The only one who could help the team score was Richardson. The others missed consecutive shots and even rebounded. In the hands of the Blazers players.Although Stoudemire is still on the court, he is hard to beat with two fists and four hands. Not only can Camby grab rebounds on his head, but even a small player like Bayless can grab rebounds while he is not paying attention. ball.On the basketball court, rebounds are the lifeline of the team. If you can't control the rebounds, the game is basically over.

The Suns have no way to close the score, no matter how strong Richardson is, he can't compete with an entire team.Ye Feng felt a little itchy. Seeing that Hill was exhausted, he also started attacking with the ball. Miller took over the task of organizing the attack with a wink.This is even worse for the Suns, because none of them can prevent Ye Feng's outside shot.Hill can't, his athletic ability is not much compared to the peak period, and Richardson can still fight, but now the team needs him to score. If he puts too much emphasis on defense, the offensive firepower will definitely suffer. affected.

In desperation, the sun replaced Dudley, and told him that he didn't need to attack, and that it was enough to wrap Ye Feng with all his strength and prevent him from shooting outside.But Dudley is just doing his best. He was not an excellent perimeter defender in his previous career, and Ye Feng is not someone who can defend against anyone.In order to defend Ye Feng, one must be a top flank defender in the league, even defensive guards can't do it, because there is a huge gap in strength.After adapting to Dudley's hysterical close defense, Ye Feng once again began to shoot from beyond the three-point line, while also driving other perimeter players.

It's not that the Suns haven't played against other teams, but this is the first time they have seen their opponents beat themselves in their own way this season. No, it's not just the same style, but it's a step further.The Suns' outside shooting is based on Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll tactics, but the Blazers are different in this game, because they can disrupt the Suns' defensive system without pick-and-rolls. After all, they are responsible for holding the ball. Ye Feng.Ye Feng has shown the potential to become a superstar, his breakthrough is a very deterrent weapon, no one in the sun can defend him one-on-one.

Gentry felt very helpless looking at the situation on the court, but he couldn't say anything. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. If he has a flank defense gate, the team can still find a chance.Now Ye Feng has become the most buggy point, his breakthrough is the most unsolvable problem for Sun.Gentry finally made up his mind. After the end of this season, he must persuade the general manager to get a full-time wing defender from the player market this summer. A little more variation can be added.

But this game... He shook his head and sighed.

Obviously, the Blazers had the absolute upper hand. No matter what kind of small climax the Suns played, they could quickly return and continue to maintain a lead of more than ten points. They didn't give the Suns any chance until the fourth quarter.Gentry had no choice but to put on a substitute lineup to express that he conceded defeat and completely gave up the game.Seeing the starting players of the Suns walk off the field dejectedly, the fans in the stands burst into loud cheers and applause. McMillan also replaced the team's starting lineup with a smile, unwilling to kill them all.

Even so, the Suns failed to narrow the point difference to single digits. In the end, they lost the fourth game 87 to 96, and fell behind by a big score of 1 to 3. This result made all the experts unable to believe themselves In their eyes, although the media has been bragging about the strength of the Blazers, in their view, the sun's hard power should steadily suppress the Blazers, and now the opponent has won the match point. What is the situation?None of them can understand, of course, the sun can not understand.
