Super Lord of the Rings

The Nets lost to the Suns at home and wanted to fight away to prove their strength.

The two teams only played twice a season, and if they lost again this time, Wang Jun's season would be swept away.

The Suns played a wonderful game at Madison Square Garden. The starting four scored 20+ points, not including Nash. Beat the Knicks 133 to 118 in regular time.

No one doubts the offensive power of the Suns. Before the game started, the media publicized that the Suns would slaughter the Nets at home.

Stoudemire's performance this season is very crazy, averaging 26 points, 9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.6 blocks per game, playing only 36 minutes.

His offensive efficiency put many super scorers to shame. On January 2, 2005, in the game against the Trail Blazers, he scored a career-high 50 points.

Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-rolls are so sharp that they are almost impossible to guard against. If Stoudemire plays more time, he is likely to become the scoring leader.

Wang Jun still leads the scoring list, averaging 29.2 points per game, but playing 41.7 minutes per game, his efficiency is not as good as Stoudemire.

Nash's performance was even more eye-catching, averaging 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 11.5 assists and 1 steal per game.

High scoring efficiency is more likely to help the team win than scoring more. If it is just scoring more and the shooting rate is very low, such a player is likely to be a cancer.

The more typical is Stackhouse, who averaged almost 30+ per game at his peak, but his shooting percentage was barely 40%. Once he leaves the Pistons and loses the ball, he can only be reduced to a substitute.

On the 25th, Nash invited several teammates to dinner and chatted about tomorrow's game.

Nash quickly established a core position when he arrived in the Suns. He is more like the boss than Stoudemire and Marion. Those two can only score by themselves and cannot lead the team.

After toasting, Nash smiled and said: "Kidd, Wang Jun are back, plus Carter. The Nets are not as easy to deal with as they were in the first game. They are also a very strong offensive team. Everyone must not underestimate the enemy."

Stoudemire is very confident: "They can't prevent our pick and roll, we will win!"

"That's right, give them some color." Marion was also very relaxed.

Nash sighed: "Sure enough, I still underestimate the enemy. The recent victory was very easy. Can't I not take the defending champion seriously?"

Xiao Si smiled and said, "Don't worry,

We will not relax, pass me more, the Nets are nothing special inside. "

Nash turned his head and said, "Joe. It will be up to you to defend Wang Jun tomorrow."

"I will do my best." Joe Johnson said very flatly, but he was actually full of fighting spirit.

He is very low-key, has strength, has no possession of the ball, and is only the fourth master in the team. It made him feel bad, but he wouldn't say it was bad.

He is willing to confront Wang Jun and wants to prove his worth in this way.

He felt that the two played similarly, both of which had average physical fitness, good strength, and the type who could shoot. He felt that he was better than Wang Jun. Because his passing awareness is excellent.

Nash added: "Tomorrow I may shoot a few more shots. Everyone pay attention to rebounding. I want to prove that I am better than Kidd."

Stoudemire picked up his wine glass and touched him. He smiled and said, "Everyone knows that you are stronger than Kidd, so do you still need to prove it?"

"We win the championship to be successful. No matter how good the regular season is, it's just the regular season. I experienced it too many times when I was in the Mavericks. Kidd now has a ring."

Nash is not jealous of Kidd's skills, but admires his record. It is not something ordinary people can do to reach the finals for three consecutive years. He longs for a championship and wants to surpass Kidd and become the strongest point guard.

Coincidentally, Kidd also invited several teammates to dinner today. Said that this game must be won no matter what, and it will be a playoff.

In the face of star point guard data, they often fall behind. Kidd was very embarrassed. He just lost to Billups, Terry, and Bibby not long ago, and he doesn't want to lose to Nash again.

Kidd is self-aware. Now looking for pick-and-roll breakthroughs and looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside, he is not as fast as before, but he doesn't feel that he is old.

The game was broadcast live on radio.

Kenny Smith said: "The Suns this season are one of the most pleasing teams in the history of the NBA. In the offensive system of coach D'Antoni's no more than 7 seconds, under the leadership of mvp point guard Steve Nash, the future Rising stars Joe Johnson and Amare Stoudemire are gradually emerging. The flanks are equipped with Marion who can fly and shoot long distances, Barbosa who is as fast as lightning, and stable three-pointers Quentin Richardson and Jimmy Jackson. No one can stop their attack."

Barkley said with a smile: "It's a pity that their defense is poor and they rely too much on small ball tactics. I don't think they can beat the Spurs in the playoffs."

"Why are you not optimistic about the sun?" Smith asked with a smile, "Are you playing against me on purpose?"

Buckley shook his head. "No, I am very optimistic, but if you want to win the championship, you must have defense. The Suns did not pioneer the small ball tactic, and the Nets made it to the finals the first two times. Their offense is not as good as the current Suns, but their defense is better. This is the key .”

During the warm-up, Kidd and Nash greeted each other, and prepared to compete.

Both are super point guards, but there is a big difference in temperament between the two.

Kidd has a fierce appearance, with a bald head that looks like a gangster; Nash has long hair and looks a bit like a scholar with a pair of glasses.

Judging from the image, Kidd must be stronger, but Nash proved what is not to be seen, he is better at offense than Kidd.

Nets starters: Kidd, Wang Jun, Carter, Krstic, Collins.

Suns starters: Nash, Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson, Marion, Stoudemire.

Stoudemire won with a jump ball and the Suns went first.

Nash received the ball, went to the right side of the front court at 60 degrees and Stoudemire picked and rolled, Collins immediately switched defenses, this was arranged by the coach, and Nash must not be allowed to shoot easily.

After attracting the defense, Nash took a step laterally, hitting the ground and passing the ball to Stoudemire who was cutting.

Carter has no card, chasing Nash. Stoudemire caught the ball and jumped up in one step, smashing the ball with one hand and scoring. 0 to 2.

Kostic, who made up defense, did not dare to stretch out his hand. Chinese fans nicknamed Stoudemire "Little Overlord", and the dunk was really domineering.

Smith laughed: "Amare is becoming a superstar this season. His dunk reminds me of Camp Rainman."

Barkley said: "The Nets' zone defense was broken at the beginning. Against the Suns, I think it is more appropriate to use man-to-man."

The Nets attacked, and Kidd took it to the frontcourt and gave it to Carter.

Carter and Krstic evaded Richardson with a pick-and-roll in the middle, and broke through from the left, attracting Marion to switch defenses.

The Suns play an absolute small-ball strategy. Stoudemire plays center and power forward Marion is only tall. They lack height and are afraid of being able to attack inside. The Nets are obviously not among them.

After coming to the Nets, Carter lost a lot of ball rights, and the task of attacking with the ball fell on his shoulders.

Being in charge of offense with the ball is not necessarily a good thing. He was marked by two of the Suns' best defenders.

When Carter met Marion, he didn't dare to make a big deal, and if he couldn't break through, he passed to Kidd on the outside.

Kidd leaned back against Nash to observe, Wang Jun on the right side avoided Joe Johnson under the cover of Collins, and Kidd passed the ball.

Marion was lured away by Carter, and after the dislocation, Wang Jun faced Stoudemire who was not good at defense. (To be continued.)
