The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 229 The main defense against Nash.

Roy's knees couldn't support fast running, and Adelaide was very strong. Because of this, he moved the slowest one.

In terms of defense, there are two loopholes at once. Facing a group of shooters, they can only be shot. Although Xue Ding is also scoring goals, the overall performance of the Suns is not so exciting.

This is why any team in the NBA likes to play at home.

Not only is it easy to wait for work, familiar with the venue, but more importantly, the enthusiasm of the home fans.

When you score a goal, the cheers of the audience will make you more enthusiastic and devoted. When you make a mistake, the encouragement of the fans will make you work harder.

The away game is not only the physical fatigue caused by running back and forth in a short period of time, but also the psychological pressure of facing the home atmosphere. If you play well, you will be booed and pressured. You explain what your downturn performance is, and it is the source of my happiness.

In short, all of us play you as a team at home, and we play as a team against you all in an away game.

Xue Ding is feeling this way now. After the Suns speed up, the three-point rain directly pushes the enthusiasm of the home fans to the extreme.

Everyone is cheering, except the Blazers.

Even so, everyone on the field is fighting hard, but facing the Suns' V-shaped high-speed advance, the defense has been hit with holes.

Nash went down at high speed, once the flanks on both sides were in place, without expanding the defense, he quickly passed the ball in place, and made a three-pointer from the corner.

To expand the defense, the personnel will be stretched wide, Nash breaks through, Nash points the ball, Nash makes three-pointers, cuts with Stoudemire, and picks and rolls.

The speed of Roy and Alder, under the Sun's offensive system, is clearly exposed.

Three people can never beat five people.

In the third quarter, under the leadership of Nash, in less than 4 minutes, they beat the Blazers 24:10, overtook the score, took the lead, and ended the game.

"Director Zhang, the Suns have been raining heavily in this wave of three-pointers. No one in the league can stop them in this state."

"The Suns are playing well. They have a famous seven-second theory, that is, fast breaks and offenses must be resolved within seven seconds. We all know that the NBA is halftime in eight seconds. Their speed is even faster. Fast, so once you run, no one in the alliance can catch up to you."

"What kind of solution do you think the Blazers have in the face of the already running Suns? Or is there such a possibility?"

"It's completely possible. Running and gunning is gorgeous, and the offense is very efficient, but there is no team in the NBA that has no solution. The same is true for running and gunning. Everything is possible for Xue Ding."

"Director Zhang, you really love Xue Ding."

"Haha, yes, I like it very much, I am willing to speak for him"

……

In the fourth quarter of the game, the two sides directly played their main players, and the Blazers made personnel adjustments.

Exit Ade, enter Cockscomb Man, exit Roy, enter Fernandez.

"I don't understand this substitution. Is Director Zhang doing it to speed up?"

"The speed must be increased. The speed of Roy and Ade just now has become a breakthrough for the Suns to counterattack repeatedly. However, in this way, the inside defense and offense will be reduced a lot. Basically, the mode will be aligned with the Suns."

"The running and bombing system of the Suns is a perfect system. The advantage of the Blazers is positional warfare. It is not a wise choice to use the advantages of the opponent to compete with the opponent."

"Speed ​​has become the most deadly factor. The lesser of two powers is a choice. The strategy of the Suns is very simple. The guard is not the first point of attack. It only creates opportunities for the outside line through sudden points, or the inside line. After the high pick-and-roll, the guard breaks through, causing the opponent to tighten up, and then makes a three-pointer from the inside, and the open shot, the tactics are very mature, and now the Blazers are facing such a situation."

"Yes, familiar with the stable tactics, but also can derive a lot of changes, this is the most powerful method, the game has begun, let us continue to pay attention to the game."

……

Xue Ding holds the ball and lands at the top of the arc. Hill continues to cling to it. Chandler gets stuck inside and reaches out for the ball. Xue Ding dribbles to the left 30 degrees and throws it to Chandler.

Chandler catches the ball and leans back, feels Stoudemire's power point, and looks for opportunities to get the ball down. Cockscomb Man runs to the outside line, trying to take Frye away and create space for the inside line.

Frye had no choice but to follow. After all, Cockscomb Man's shooting ability is not very high, but if it is open, it will be different.

Xue Ding ran to the 45° direction, Hill followed closely, and was half a body behind. Xue Ding suddenly turned back and rushed into the inside lane.

A beautiful inside cut easily tore through the Suns' perimeter defense.

Barbosa served, Nash quickly advanced, Xue Ding began to press Nash in the frontcourt, and came to defend himself.

Nash kept changing directions, Xue Ding kept his distance and didn't make a move, but kept blocking Nash's advancing route.

If you want to slow down the Suns, you must first slow down Nash.

Facing Xue Ding's oppression, Nash's speed was still greatly affected.

With height, arm length, and speed, Nash instantly felt Xue Ding's pressure.

After halftime, Hill quickly put up the pick-and-roll, Nash stepped up and broke through from the left, Xue Ding immediately defended Hill, Fernandez quickly followed, and Xue Ding switched defenses immediately.

Nash broke through an emergency stop, Fernandez couldn't hold back and slid forward, Nash made an emergency stop and made a shot from the free throw line.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball, pushed the ball across the half-court without haste, suppressed the speed, and entered the rhythm of positional warfare.

Hill came up on defense immediately, Xue Ding lobbed the ball to Chandler, and ran to the low post on the right.

Fernandez caught the ball at the top of the arc and dribbled it to the right. Xue Ding asked for the ball in a low position.

Xue Ding held the ball in front of his chest with both hands, and kept his upper body leaning back. Taking advantage of his body strength, he forced Hill to keep a distance and open up space.

Xue Ding kept shaking his shoulders to turn over, suddenly jumped up with one step, his body took off vertically, drifted backwards, and shot backwards.

Hill rushed over quickly without any interference, and hit two points steadily.

With a score of 79:81, the Blazers were only two points behind.

Xue Ding's consecutive inside shots succeeded and stabilized his position.

After scoring, Xue Ding immediately turned around and continued to press Nash.

Hill learned how to behave this time, and quickly came to Nash to do the pick-and-roll.

But Xue Ding didn't make any entanglement, and quickly bypassed Hill and continued to chase.

In this way, the speed of Nash's advancement is reduced, and it is more effective for teammates to move down and win more time to return to defense.
