Chapter 207 Fighting the Cavaliers

After defeating the Chicago Bulls, the Phoenix Suns overwhelmed the Spurs and the Supersonics, taking the top spot in the regular season. Even though they ranked first in the league, the Suns didn't have time to feel the taste of the pinnacle, so they flew to Cleveland without stopping. , back-to-back away games, came to challenge the Lindbergh Cleveland Cavaliers.

In the away locker room of the Quicken Loans Center Arena, D'Antoni did not specifically let Lin Bai start the game because Lin Bai was going to play against his old club, and directly announced that the starting lineup would remain unchanged. Ball guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Shawn Marion, center Amare Stoudemire."

After D'Antoni finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Bai, and found that the opponent's expression was flat, and he did not show his expression. He nodded, and then arranged tactics, saying: "In terms of offense, we have been winning. There is nothing to adjust. We are still playing. Run and blast in 7 seconds, even if you rush up, shoot more three-pointers, increase your speed, and use offense to win."

"Defensive tactics, we play zone defense tactics, shrink the inside, and force the Cavaliers to fight with us for offense and shooting. As long as we enter our rhythm, we have no possibility of losing!"

After arranging the tactics, D'Antoni clapped his hands and said encouragingly to the players: "We are very tired after consecutive away games, but after tonight's game, we can go home. A victory marks the perfect mark for the trip to the Eastern Conference. This Cavaliers team is no longer the dark horse of last season. Let’s enjoy tonight’s game to the fullest! We will win!!”

……

In the Quicken Loans Center arena, Barkley adjusted the Cavaliers' starting roster and analyzed: "Before the game, media reporters were not optimistic that the dark horse Cavaliers from last season could win, because their lineup was forced to change. Unexpectedly, the incident of Boozer actually happened, no wonder Boozer, after all, with a two-point contract in front of him, the difference is almost 3000 million U.S. dollars. No one can refuse this temptation. It is said that the Jazz are willing to spend a lot of money.

Therefore, the starting lineup of the Cavaliers has changed a lot. The point guard is naturally LeBron James, the shooting guard is Jeff McGinnis, the small forward Ira Newbell, and the power forwards are from the Magic. Drew Gooden who replaced Boozer, the center has not changed and is still Zajunas-Ilgauskas. "

Kenny Smith nodded, took over the topic and said: "Because the Cavaliers have to re-run the new lineup, they directly swallowed three consecutive losses at the beginning of the season, all of which were lost to competitors in the playoffs. The Eagles, the Cavaliers ended their losing streak. However, facing the Suns who averaged over 100 points per game, it is more difficult for the Cavaliers to win.

It depends on James' performance. His forward tactics, facing Nash of the Suns, still has a great chance of winning, because Nash seems to have no way to defend against James. However, I believe Nash still Will be on offense, tit for tat, retaliation, please wait and see! "

At 9 o'clock in the evening, James still staged a performance of sprinkling magnesium powder. This is the performance reserved by the little emperor in home games this season. The home fans still love James very much.

During the warm-up for the layup, James took the initiative to look for Lin Bai, talked to him for a few words of encouragement, shook hands, and said hello. It seems that James’ life in the new season is not very good, and he misses fighting side by side with Lin Bai. day is over.

The starting lineups of both sides came to the center circle of the court, ready to start the scrum.

Stoudemire vs Ilgauskas!

Flying to the floor against the floor, Stoudemire's physical fitness is top notch, facing the outstanding Ilgauskas, there is nothing to do, the difference between the two sides is 13cm, let you fly again, Ilgauskas is still the same Easily pick off the opponent and give the basketball to James.

With long legs, James dribbled the ball very quickly. Facing Nash's pounce, he swayed slightly to the side, accelerated directly and then used his strong body to block Nash's interception, but the speed did not decrease at all.

Drive straight in with the ball in the middle, facing Joe Johnson's supplementary defense, James dribbles the ball from the right to the left, takes a step laterally, pulls the ball immediately, makes a three-step layup, and takes off from the basket. Pulling and stretching, changing hands to split and dunk the basketball with one hand, and hit the basket.

2 to 0! !

As soon as James opened the game, he showed off his physical talent and basketball skills, and with a gorgeous dunk, he gave the Suns a blow.

In the transition between offense and defense, Nash caught the baseline and quickly dribbled forward. James did not return to the half court, but pressed Nash on the spot.

The Suns failed to hit the playoffs last season and went into reconstruction. The lineup has not changed much. The most important thing is that the team has more brains. Pay attention to the Suns and think about ways to deal with them.

Limiting Nash's go-between was first proposed because the Suns' offensive firepower is so violent, just because Nash's passing is so superb.

Fortunately, Nash is a representative player of the 96 golden generation, not a player who came out of nowhere. He is excellent in organizing and handling the ball, but his defense and physical confrontation are his weaknesses.

In response to Nash's situation, James directly pressed Nash with full-court tactics and strengthened physical confrontation.

Nash didn't have much physical strength when defending, but he was relatively easy to deal with when he increased strength when attacking. A cross change, a change of rhythm, and even a back dribble can easily avoid James' full-court press.

It's just that the Suns' 7-second run-and-bomb tactics were stranded.

In the positional battle, Nash organized the ball in the middle, Marion and Stoudemire pulled to the left and right sides of the horn area, Richardson and Joe Johnson stretched the space, wandering on the left and right wings, ready to support with three-pointers at any time.

After the diamond position, Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll.

Ilgauskas and James teamed up to double-team Nash.

At this time, Stoudemire quickly made an empty cut from the middle, and Marion on the left made a circle, used a reverse run, and also rushed to the basket from the left.

Near the free throw line, facing the double-teaming of James and Ilgauskas, Nash seemed to be prepared.

This is a non-stick, no!This is clearly a fake cast.

When Stoudemire got the ball, he took off with both feet, his body blossomed in the air, caught the basketball with both hands in the air, and smashed it hard to the basket.

With a loud bang, the basketball hit the basket and the alley-oop succeeded.

2 to 2! !

The Suns quickly retaliated, retaliated, and used this offensive cooperation to tell the Cavaliers that they are not only good at running and bombing, positional warfare, the Suns still have a way to send the basketball into the basket...
