Starting with 2006

Chapter 67 Nash and Kidd

When Gao Tian defended Carter, he clearly felt that his power was not as fast as before. Carter, who had returned his talent to God, was now just an All-Star, a guard with a normal body.

As cousins, Carter and McGrady may not even be able to bear the injury, this pair of talented couple!

He shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. Compared with Carter, Gao Tian paid more attention to the matchup between Nash and Kidd.

The story of these two people is very interesting. When Nash was in the Mavericks, he played for Kidd as a substitute. As Kidd with comprehensive offense and defense, Nash had no Kidd in the team due to his poor defense due to his weak body. That's valued.

Their experiences are very similar. They both went to the Mavericks first and then went to the Suns. When Kidd went from the Suns to the Nets, Nash came to the Suns from the Mavericks.

The resumes of the two great point guards look so similar, but their technical characteristics are very different, Kidd is more comprehensive, and Nash is more creative!

Kidd faced Nash with the ball and directly used his body to squeeze Nash to score an inside throw. Looking back, Nash played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire and directly threw the ball high into the air.

Seeing that the ball was about to hit the backboard, the Suns fans couldn't help exclaiming, was it a mistake?

But Stoudemire didn't hesitate at all, and jumped up suddenly, with his arms over half of the backboard, relying on his amazing physical fitness, grabbed the ball, and directly smashed the ball into the basket!
All the fans gasped, it was too violent!

Even Gao Tian, ​​who was standing outside the three-point line and sweating for Stoudemire, was full of splendor in his eyes. It was definitely the top five shots of the day!
Seeing Stoudemire beating his chest and roaring, Kidd was also very helpless. Looking at the smiling Nash, he knew that this was Nash's way!

Always believe in teammates, dare to pass all kinds of dangerous balls to them, seemingly rational but crazy passing thinking, although Kidd does not like this way of passing, but he has to admit that it is indeed imaginative and creative A pass of force.

This is your way, but I also have mine!

Jason Kidd is a guard with a height of more than 1.9 meters, but he has a rebounding ability that does not match his height. He can grab seven rebounds per game on average, relying on his keen rebounding sense and extremely strong body.

This is why in the 04 season, he became the triple-double predator that the entire league feared!
Even the defense that guards often suffer because of their height, he has achieved incredible levels. In Jason Kidd's career, he was selected to the NBA's best defensive team five times and the second team once.

Both his position selection and reaction speed are top-notch in the league. Even when Gao Tian faced Kidd, he was very uncomfortable.

He often has a dangerous feeling that his ball will be broken, which makes Gao Tian extremely cautious and does not make any unnecessary actions at all.

Turn around, step back, shoot!

Kidd is very helpless, this person's shooting threat is really too great, but he is not like the big men in the league who are pushed by himself and lose his center of gravity. His lower body is extremely powerful, and it is difficult for him who wants to shoot. !

What an old monster!
This is the first time Gao Tian encountered such a difficult defender, oh no!

the second time!
Gao Tian hated this kind of person who made a lot of petty tricks. He pushed, pulled, and squeezed in places where the referee couldn't see, which made him feel really speechless. No wonder future experts often said that he became more and more demonic as he got older.

Thinking of the black-footed Bowen who was kicked to the root of his descendants by himself, Gao Tian felt that compared to him, Bowen was too weak!

This is the real darkness!

After one quarter, after the Suns cut off Kidd's connection with the Nets, Kidd allowed Kidd to score 35 points and 24 rebounds. Except for Kidd, the Nets' highest score was six points from Carter and Jefferson. And the Suns are more blooming here, Nash scored [-] points and five assists, Gao Tian scored [-] points, and the Suns led the Nets by [-] points [-]:[-]!
The head coach of the Nets, Mr. Frank, no longer maintains his gentle image, scratching his head with his hands, very distressed.

In the first quarter, the Suns relied on Gao Tian's defense to cut off the connection between Kidd and his teammates, causing the Nets' originally tight system to fall apart, and the rest of the people watched Kidd and Lagabel fighting.

Once Kidd wants to pass the ball, Gao Tian will always appear on the passing route in time to destroy the pass. Kidd has to attack independently again and again, trying to use his offensive influence to change the situation.

But it is a pity that he is not Kobe, nor Gao Tian. His mid-range distance has not reached the point where he can kill the sun, so the sun let him shoot.

It's a dead end!

Either let Kidd play alone, or don't let Kidd hold the ball.

But Frank thought it was useless. Obviously, the Suns wanted Kidd to play alone. They were not afraid at all, and it would be even more ridiculous not to let Kidd hold the ball. You must know that Kidd is an All-Star guard, and if he doesn’t give him the ball Who else can I give it to?
When Kidd no longer holds the ball, who can change the critical situation in front of him?

How to break this game?
Kidd also knows the current plight of the team. Whenever he passes, someone will always stand in his passing route, making his supposedly wonderful passes turn into mistakes one after another!
He knew that this was a trap set by the Suns. When Nash was standing in front of him when his pass couldn't go out at all, he would definitely choose to play Nash singles.

Knowing that it was a trap, I had no choice but to jump into it!
Carter and Jefferson don't feel good. They are defended by Lagabel and Stoudemire. If they don't even stand up, the game will really come to garbage time very quickly.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the Suns bench not far away who was laughing and laughing. The old friend who kept smiling with his teammates was so happy, because the situation in front of his team was very good, but what about himself?

Kidd's mood is very complicated. He has always thought that he is better than Nash. Whether it is in the Mavericks or in different teams, he often has an advantage against him, but it is really different now. He has strength Strong teammates lead the team forward so that he will not be so tired. They can laugh and play during the break, but what about himself?

Looking at the lifeless bench, Kidd sighed helplessly. Of course he knew what he needed most now, an unsolvable one-on-one player and an insider who could defend and grab rebounds.

If only Carter could be younger, if Jefferson could be more mature...

But this is impossible, it only exists in his own fantasy, what if he can have a teammate like him?

Kidd couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at Gao Tian quietly. His defense, his shooting, and his unsolvable one-on-one skills, there is no doubt that he is his best partner!

……

Forget it, let's think about what to do now.

Kidd rubbed his temples. The Suns' offense is scary, but what is really more scary is their defense. The defense ability brought by Gao Tian is really terrifying, and the Suns' defensive weakness is only Nash.

Regardless of offense or defense, the gap between the Nets is too obvious.

Do you really want to leave here?
He doesn't know how to go forward, where is the future for himself and the Nets?

But no matter what the future holds, at least for now in this game, there is no hope at all.

The blood and soul of this team are gone, what's the use of leaving only a seemingly powerful body?
