Chapter 2 Forty-Nine Clashes Again (Third to ~)

(ps: After the third shift, I want to add more heart-to-heart i children's shoes, and congratulate him on becoming the first deacon in this book~)

The market data of the signature sneakers is still in the hands of Adidas. Even Nike, as an old rival, can only guess roughly, and Li Shihao is even more unaware. He is currently devoting himself to the playoffs. After the game is over, he will get the sales report of the signature sneakers.

The Phoenix Suns are really difficult to play. This is not a complaint, but Li Shihao's real experience in his heart, and he is not lying at all.

The Phoenix Suns aren't without weaknesses, and they have obvious ones, and more than one.

Stoudemire on the inside can't defend against people on the defensive end. Facing a center like Gasol who has excellent footwork and is threatening in the low post, the pressure is too great.

Stoudemire's defensive power forward is okay, but moving to the center position is not enough, especially facing Marc Gasol. Gasol's strength has jumped a lot this season. Small Gasol with a solid tonnage, Stoudemire is completely unstoppable rhythm.

Not to mention Steve Nash on the perimeter. Although Nash's reputation in the league has not diminished, it is due to his talent in offensive art. On the defensive end, he is almost at the stage of missing people.

In terms of offense, Nash can use his excellent offensive skills to overwhelm Li Shihao. Similarly, Li Shihao can also defeat Nash on the offensive end.

The playoffs are the stage of defense, and it is true that without defense, it is impossible to go far. This is why many experts in the field of American basketball are not optimistic about the Phoenix Suns.

But they definitely didn't understand the knowledge of war thoroughly, and I'm afraid they have overlooked the fact that the best defense is offense.

There is a reason why the Phoenix Suns can often become the favorites of the championship. It is not a problem to reach the Western Conference Finals with their strength. In the past few seasons, they were unlucky and encountered the San Antonio Spurs, which restrained them in lineup and tactics , was kicked out consecutively.

But now in the playoffs, after Li Shihao played against the Phoenix Suns twice, he has a suspicion in his heart. If the San Antonio Spurs are not the seventh place in the Western Conference, I am afraid that after the latter eliminates the Dallas Mavericks, they will face off. The menacing Phoenix Suns also have no chance of winning.

The offensive is like a tide, and the invasion is like a fire!

The Phoenix Suns have perfectly implemented this under the needle of team leader Steve Nash.

The defensive line that the Minnesota Timberwolves worked so hard to build in the two games was completely inadequate, and it was easily destroyed by the firepower of the Phoenix Suns. It was like a tofu project.

To be honest, players like Ryan Gomez even had the idea of ​​giving up the game. It was really too difficult to play. It was a feeling of powerlessness to despair, like a nightmare, and couldn't get rid of it in his heart.

The third battle is about to start, but Li Shihao has not lost confidence. He feels that he can do more than Steve Nash.

He has defense, and it’s not bad. When Steve Nash is attacking, he has to consider his defensive factors, but when he is attacking, he doesn’t have to worry too much about it. Nash will never block the defense. He can It is not bad to prevent the breakthrough and shooting of the opposing player.

Comparing the two, it is undoubtedly that Li Shihao has too much advantage.

However, there is probably only one reason why he still can't compete with the Phoenix Suns in the game. He still hasn't exerted his full strength and is restricted.

The third playoff game did not make Li Shihao wait too long. Back at home in Minnesota, Li Shihao once again played against the Phoenix Suns at home.

This time when the game started, Li Shihao entered the state. In the first three minutes of the first quarter, he dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and directly faced Steve Nash. singles out.

Li Shihao's offensive efficiency this season has been very stable and efficient. The most important reason is his rational way of playing. Li Shihao will distribute the ball reasonably and will not mess around. After the whole season, his teammates have developed a deep understanding of Li Shihao. trust.

Seeing Li Shihao making gestures, Le Fu and the others naturally began to distance themselves.

Li Shihao watched the position movements on the field with his eyes, and after seeing his teammates knowingly change positions, he immediately started to attack.

Keeping his eyes fixed on Steve Nash's shoulders, even the slightest tremor would attract his attention. Li Shihao dribbled the ball under his crotch for a while, and after feeling better, he stepped forward with his right foot and made a tentative movement. Steve Nash thought that Li Shihao was going to make a breakthrough, so he immediately stepped back half a step to make a breakthrough, but he didn't think it was a fake move.

Li Shihao deceived Steve Nash and won the shooting space. Without the slightest hesitation, Li Shihao immediately shot a fallback jumper with the ball in both hands.

Li Shihao played a perfect time difference this time. It was too late for Steve Nash to interfere at this time, and he could only watch the basketball fly to the basket.

This long-range three-pointer came very timely, and immediately after the hit, it immediately attracted cheers from the target center.

For fans, three-pointers and dunks are undoubtedly the most entertaining. Three-pointers are more aesthetically pleasing, while dunks are more lethal. Both are goals that can increase the adrenaline of fans.

When it was the Suns' turn to attack, Stoudemire couldn't see, walked past Steve Nash, and whispered, "Steve, write him a color!"

Nash was startled when he heard the words, and then thought of Stoudemire's remarks through the media a while ago, and he understood a little bit in his heart, but he was a little helpless and it was not easy to intervene.

However, this moment is a critical moment in the game, and he has no intention of keeping his hand.

Steve Nash dribbled the ball like flying, relying on the cover of his teammates to break through while running, and directly entered the paint area on the right. No one in the Timberwolves had time to defend this position. The fast-footed Corey Brewer immediately turned into a Super soldier, kill the past, the sharp-eyed Nash saw Brewer's figure, and went straight to the basket. Corey Brewer thought he had guessed what Nash was thinking, and was about to jump up to block the shot.

Unexpectedly, Steve Nash stuck directly to the baseline and passed the basketball in his hand to Stoudemire behind him.

Stoudemire has been waiting for a long time. At this moment, Corey Brewer has no time to react. He only feels the shadow of the ball flash past, and then sees a huge black shadow jumping up behind him, and Stoudemire jumps into the air. Directly roaring a one-armed dunk.

Two points scored!

Van Gundy, who watched the game, commented: "The offensive tactics of the Phoenix Suns are too good, and they have been performed to the extreme. Most teams in the league will find it extremely difficult. I am afraid that the young Timberwolves are still a little tender against them. I am a little bit overwhelmed. I I think they still need to strengthen their defense, which is an important factor for them to go far in the playoffs in the future."
