In the second quarter, the Kings rotated, with John Salmons and Kenny Thomas replacing Kevin Martin and Raheem.
On the Suns side, Su Bei's performance was mediocre and he was replaced to rest. After all, the data only scored 3 points, but regardless of whether you got it from Artest, the best defensive player, everything only depends on the book score.
Nash and Stoudemire were also replaced. This is the treatment of the main players.
D'Antoni arranged a rotation of Kurt Thomas, Marion, Diaw, Laga Bell, and Barbosa.
The second quarter of the game begins.
The Kings were beaten, and Mike Bibby couldn't ignore Artest's strength. When he saw Artest knocking Diaw away with his body, he immediately sent the basketball over.
After receiving the basketball and facing the basket to attack, Artest took a step laterally, performed a crab walk, and ran over Diaw's body into the penalty area. Ignoring Kurt Thomas's help in defense, Artest dunked down two points. .
Subsequently, in the defensive round, Diaw, who had no shot, was let go.
Artest and Mike Bibby flanked Barbosa. During the physical collision, Barbosa lost the ball and was stolen by Artest.
During the counterattack, Mike Bibby rushed into the penalty area and used a powerful slam to vent his displeasure at being beaten by Nash in the first quarter.
With the outbreak of Artest, the Kings' offense opened up the situation, but unfortunately, the counterattack launched was hard but not lasting.
The Kings don't have many players who can defend, and they seem to be a little repelled by the muscular style of play. As they play, they ignore Artest's presence and attack in another direction.
Diaw suffered a loss and immediately copied Su Bei's work and lay flat. He really can't shoot, but his passing ability is excellent. He can avoid Artest's strong defense and make it invisible.
Artest is an anomaly in the Kings' offensive and defensive system. Everyone else is only focused on offense. What's the point of your desperate defense?
The league doesn't support him, and the team doesn't want to support him either. They just want to fatten up his data, wait for the limelight to pass, and then exchange for some good bargaining chips. Artest himself didn't force the numbers, knocked out the space, and directly reached out for the ball. , didn't give it, just watched quietly, grabbed the rebound and ignored the team, did it by himself, and was immediately replaced after playing for 6 minutes, and could only sulk on the bench.
At the 7th minute, Su Bei came back on the court. Without Artest, he encountered John Salmons, who was also a muscular man, but his defensive skills were not at the same level as Artest.
When there was no ball, John Salmons did not use rugby style to disgust Su Bei. Soon Su Bei found an opportunity to attack, cut into the paint, received the cake sent by Nash, hit the basket from close range, and got it. Personal 5th point.
Compared with the 31 points last game, there are still 26 points behind, and we still need to continue to work hard.
Fortunately, with the Suns' offensive rhythm, Su Bei feels that chasing 26 points is not impossible and this dream can be achieved.
The extremely fast offensive and defensive rhythm and the number of offensive rounds cannot be compared to a team like the Heat that likes to 'slay time'. The lower limit of scoring will not be very low, but the upper limit is that everything is possible.
Su Bei did not continue to lie flat and actively moved around to look for opportunities. Nash liked Su Bei's style very much and was willing to pass the ball to Su Bei.
You say bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
To put it bluntly, this is playing basketball, not beating someone.
The three techniques of mind, skill, and body can all be used wisely. A superior horse will fight an inferior horse, and an inferior horse will confront a superior horse. Is this wisdom? How can you say bullied and scared?
If you use your body to show toughness, would you be willing to say that you are muscular and have no brains?
Playing basketball is not black and white. You can also use the "ash" method to get what you want.
In the 10th minute of the second quarter, Su Bei made a reverse run, and it was Salmons who got away. After accepting the pass from hand to hand, Yangshou scored another 3 points, raising his personal score to 8 points. .
Near the end of the game, during the counterattack, Su Bei ignored the movement of his teammates, broke through with the ball, caused a foul on Kevin Martin, and went to the free throw line to shoot a free throw.
With two swish sounds, Su Bei showed no mercy and raised his personal score to double digits.
At the end of the first half, the score was 78 to 57. The Suns' offense dropped, but they still maintained a high level and entered the locker room to rest with a 22-point lead.
Nash scored 10 points and 12 assists at halftime, a double-double.
Stoudemire had 17 points and 6 rebounds. It is not difficult to achieve a 30+ double-double as long as he walks down the drain.
In the last game, the shooting was too tough and the Suns were beaten beyond recognition.
In this game, the shot was accurate and the opponent was immediately defeated. It was really three days east of the river and three days west. Don't bully the Suns' shooting! !
Returning to the second half of the game, the starting lineups of both sides continued to battle again.
Mike Bibby was nicknamed the "White Devil" because he had a big heart at critical moments. At the beginning of the third quarter, he continuously broke through Nash with the ball and hit a pull-up jumper, scoring 4 points in a row.
He had to admit that the Kings lost, but if the Suns went too far to kill people, it was no different from destroying their jobs.
Especially as the legacy of the Kings' golden generation, naturally the Suns cannot run wild here.
Mike Bibby worked hard and started a pick-and-roll tactic with another leftover, Brad Miller. Brad Miller faced Nash's defense and steadily hit a two-point mid-range shot.
Not enough. This bit of offensive firepower is like a drop in the bucket and is far from enough.
"Mike Bibby and Brad Miller stepped up and worked hard, but they could only offset the offensive firepower of Nash and Stoudemire. The Kings only relied on the two people's offense to fill the hole in front. They also had to rely on the entire team. Only by fighting can there be a slight chance of reversal.
Huh!
At the critical moment, Brad Miller pulled to the three-point line to catch the ball. This was to play center organization..."
Falling behind by a big score, the Kings found the only answer, which was to play the gorgeous Princeton tactical system. Only such tactics can withstand the Suns' extreme 7-second run and bombardment.
On the court, the Kings center was vacated, but Stoudemire was too lazy to expand the defense. Brad Miller was in a misplaced offensive opportunity and took a three-point jumper...
Bang-dang——!
Come on, Brad Miller has a three-point range. He can shoot, but he can't shoot to kill the game.
To be fair, if the center pulls out to shoot a three-pointer, this tactic itself is unreliable.
The current Kings players do not have the simple team philosophy of the past where everyone is for me and I am for everyone. If they insist on playing like this, it cannot be said to be similar to a dog jumping over the wall. It can only be said to be exactly the same.
Even coach Rick Adelman, a head coach with a mastery of Princeton's tactics, can't play well with the cards in the hands of the current Kings. Just a head coach from the Warriors, Ariel Musselman, who plays run-and-gun tactics. Just want to call it out?
As long as you have a few peanuts, you won't be so drunk.
The team's new core player, Kevin Martin, is an assassin who has no emotions. He is independent of the team's team basketball. His style is not suitable for playing Princeton. If he had to play, he would definitely have to play. Play as a substitute player as a transition to the main player.
Artest has a beast-like body. He does not shoot or pass in offense. He only uses his physical talent to crush. He is full of beastly style of play. This style has nothing to do with the Princeton system. It seems that his brain is not have some problem.
Ask him to hit people and he's still good at it. Ask him to play basketball, or smart team basketball. Just ask if you've seen your casserole-sized fists. Don't force him to hit people.
Pooh!
Back at Princeton, he has little education, and if he is asked to play basketball like a top student, why not play him?
In fact, whether the Kings play like Princeton or not, whether they can open things up offensively or not, it doesn't matter to the Suns tonight.
Because they didn't score as many points as the Suns, the Suns with full firepower were so willful that they could ignore any opponent's offensive firepower.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game is over.
The score was 138 to 113. The Suns had a 25-point advantage, defeating the Kings and eliminating the Kings' only possibility of entering the playoffs.
Nash scored 21 points, 19 assists and 5 rebounds, showing the terrifying strength of the first active point guard.
Stoudemire scored 36 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, which was also impressive.
Su Beihe's performance dropped a lot in the last game, but he still scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
No way, Su Bei originally wanted to just keep playing and be an ordinary walk-on, but he didn't expect that the Suns' offense was too strong. He was pushed by the team to attack, and his offensive data didn't matter whether he was outstanding or not.
It's like a popular TV movie. A role player with few lines becomes popular because of a stereotyped performance. You don't even think it will become popular, but you don't have a chance.
Su Bei is also on the Suns and is also troubled by this!
