The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 225
Suns starters: Nash, Barbosa, Richardson, Hill, Stoudemire.

Trail Blazers starter: Roy, Xue Ding, Batum, Aldridge, Chandler.

The referee's whistle sounded, Chandler won the jump ball, both bounced well, Stoudemire lost in height.

Roy dribbled the ball to face Nash's defense and directly chose singles. The difference in physical advantages between the two was too great.

However, the Suns already had countermeasures against Nash's physical weakness. As soon as Roy hit the ball, Richardson and Hill surrounded him from both sides.

The strategy is very simple, just wait for him to turn around, come over to double-team, and play with his back. Although the body has the advantage, when the attack is necessary, he must face the frame, and only after facing the frame will he have more choices.

Shoot directly, break through, or pass the ball to have a wide field of vision.

For a running and bombing team, it is very solid to guard against its own weaknesses.

Xue Ding directly moved from the low position to the high position on the right. After his knee injury, Roy's explosive power was much weaker. Although it was no problem carrying Nash on his back, he couldn't turn around for a long time, and the opponent had already dug out the defensive trap.

After discovering Xue Ding, Roy crossed and gave the ball to Xue Ding. He also understood that after playing singles for a while, the opponent's defensive center of gravity must already be here. The chances are not very good, and he cannot stick the ball.

As soon as Xue Ding held the ball, Hill posted it up, and it was obvious that he was going to get stuck in the first step.

After all, Xue Ding's breakthrough is now known as the fastest in the league. Together with the first step, there are only two results.

Foul or stare.

Xue Ding's first breakthrough is almost impossible to solve, and the defense must follow closely.

With 7 seconds left, Xue Ding noticed the positions of Chandler and Stoudemire under the basket.

At this time, Stoudemire is on his own offensive line, and Adelaide is near the free throw line on the left.

In the card position, it is obvious that Stoudemire lost to Chandler.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball and bent over, made a breakthrough feint to the left, directly deceived Hill, changed to the right and accelerated, and rushed to the inside.

The Sun's perimeter defense was already attracted by Roy's previous singles. At this time, time is running out. No one thought that Xue Ding would choose to break through at this time.

Xue Ding stepped in one step, unimpeded, Stoudemire's body under the basket was eager to try, ready to jump into the air to intercept.

But Xue Ding didn't slow down. As soon as he crossed the free throw line, Stoudemire quickly jumped up to establish his own air identification zone.

Xue Ding saw that Stoudemire was attracted, and immediately sent the ball.

"Kang Dang"

With a dunk, the rim was howled loudly, Chandler dunked the hand, and Xue Ding ran forward with both hands flying.

Xue Ding made an alley-oop pass, and Stoudemire was very uncomfortable, and he didn't understand what happened.

After studying Xue Ding's video for a long time before the game, it was useless. No matter how you say this ball is going to be dunked.

As a running and bombing team, the biggest characteristics are speed and perimeter.

So as soon as Xue Ding saw the emptiness inside, he rushed in immediately, tricked Stoudemire, and solved the battle with an easy alley-oop, first from the inside.

In the away game, there were no cheers from the fans, but there were high fives from the teammates.

A good start, which is a good sign.

Nash dribbled over, looking very handsome with long flowing hair, Xue Ding looked at it and thought to himself, he deserves to be a man known as the Son of Wind, he is indeed a bit fairy.

Nash dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and Roy took a step to defend.

Xue Ding followed Hill, the former successor of Jordan, although he was not as fierce as in his peak time, but he still averaged a double-double per game.

Since coming to the Suns, it has been a second spring. No one has mentioned the defense that was criticized before, because the center of the Suns only has one offense and then offense. Hill's accurate mid-range shots and good three-point ability, It's booming here.

Roy defended very tightly, Nash had been quietly observing the running positions of his teammates, Barbosa was closely watched by Batum, Richardson kept running back and forth on the left, Adelaide directly pulled out, Put a step on the defensive.

The chances were not very good. Xue Ding knew at a glance that Stoudemire was going to come out to shoot a jumper, because the space had already been drawn out, and Nash showed no sign of a breakthrough, and he followed closely outside.

Sure enough, Stoudemire quickly raised to a high position and ran out in two steps. The man and the ball met at the same time.

From this ball, Xue Ding felt that Nash was not easy. First of all, in terms of psychological quality, there were still a few seconds left, so he didn't panic at all. People arrive at the ball, no more, no less, there is no need to adjust at all.

As a shooter, Xue Ding is very touched by this point. The most important thing in shooting is rhythm. A good passer can always make you catch the ball comfortably, maintain a comfortable rhythm and shoot, and see Nash’s pass from a close distance. , Xue Ding silently gave the other party a thumbs up in his heart.

In the next round, Roy dribbled the ball for half court and landed at the top of the arc. Xue Ding landed near the free throw line and asked for the ball. Roy hung over and ran to the low corner on the right. Make room for the inside line.

Xue Ding turned around and faked a shot to trick Hill, stepped in, Stoudemire rushed over, Xue Ding jumped up, lightly sent his left hand, and handed it to Chandler under Stoudemire's armpit.

Chandler caught the ball and dunked, not feeling sorry for the shaking of the basket.

"Hey, aren't you very good at buttoning? It's cool"

"Mask man, you have to change your mask in the end"

He intercepted twice in the air, and was released both times. Stoudemire was very upset and sprayed directly.

Xue Ding sprayed back without showing any weakness.

Are you kidding me, I won't detain you, you are not good enough, you have to pick things up.

In the next round, Nash pushed the ball quickly. After half court, the ball was directed to Barbosa, and Barbosa directly directed to Richardson who mentioned the high position.

Ade had to follow up. Richardson was very accurate, but he made more fixed-point shots.

So Adelaide can still cope, but as soon as Adelaide came up, Stoudemire followed up, and the catch was a mid-range shot.

Continue to hit two points, the score is 4:4, both sides began to test each other cautiously.

Spying on each other's inner line.

Stoudemire has an accurate jumper, fast speed, and strong explosive power, but his height and weight are not at the same level as Chandler.

Pulling out the CIC, Chandler has no better way.

But once Chandler gets stuck, or feeds the ball in place like Xue Ding, the alley-oop and dunks are extremely easy.

As far as the present is concerned, the performances of the two have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

You come and go, the inside is the main one, you dunk, I hit the shot, you come out, take a step, I speed up over you, jump up and give you a dunk.

They are all waiting for an opportunity, a change.
