In the second quarter of the game, Nash, Stoudemire, and Su Bei's three main players sat on the bench and watched the rotation of the lineup.
D'Antoni sent Kurt Thomas, Marion, Diaw, Laga Bell, and Barbosa.
Nelson has gone the way of the Suns, obviously leaving the Suns with nowhere to go.
Don't ask, just ask seven people to rotate and control the main force.
The three outside cores: Davis, Jackson and Richardson continued to stay on the court, replaced by starting centers Andris Biedris and Michael Pietrus.
"In rotating the lineup, the Warriors also have an advantage over me!
Old Nelson may suppress D'Antoni in every aspect in terms of tactics and personnel adjustments.
It's not even possible. You must know that for this reason, Nelson did not hesitate to arrange a five-small lineup, and even the starter Biedris, who performed well, was put on the bench.
D'Antoni just played step by step, and seemed to take the Warriors into consideration again. After all, the Suns had won all three games in the first three games, so he did have the confidence not to take the Warriors into consideration.
However, the Warriors have the reinforcements of Jackson and Harrington. You cannot look at this Warriors team through old eyes. The Suns were obviously caught off guard and did not pay attention to it. It is not surprising that they will fall behind in the score. . "
In the second quarter of the game, Barbosa wanted to speed up and force a way, but Davis was not used to it. He got up close and engaged in physical confrontation, unable to get rid of Davis's defense. The Brazilian Lightning was also stubborn, resisting the defense and making strong shots. The strike missed.
The Warriors counterattacked, Jackson received the ball, hit the basket, and scored two points.
The point difference between the two sides widened to 13 points.
Marion wanted to step forward, but was blocked by Jackson's strong defense.
It doesn't matter that there was no counterattack. Richardson and Davis played pick-and-roll tactics, and finally Richardson took the shot and returned the 3-pointer.
Swish——!
16 points! !
The game was one-sided, but fortunately, Diaw stepped up and scored two points with a two-point jumper, stopping the bleeding in time.
In the next 5 minutes, the two sides played back and forth. Diaw's unexpected explosion allowed the Suns to recover a point. The difference between the two sides was only 10 points.
The opportunity has come!
D'Antoni was naturally not satisfied with only chasing 1 point, and immediately replaced Nash, Stoudemire and Su Bei on the court.
Nelson also made a move, replacing Michael Pietrus with Matt Barnes, who excelled in defense, but still did not move the three core perimeter players.
Back on the court, Su Bei was a little thinner. Barnes stuck to him and didn't give him a chance to get the ball.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Nelson, as the head coach who trained Nash, is very clear about his instruction manual and arranges Nash's offense and defense properly.
Defensively, he shrunk and blocked his weakness in protecting the rim inside. At the same time, he also took advantage of the Suns' weakness in low-post offense and defended a zone defense strategy.
On the outside, the defense against Nash is equipped with Davis, a personal bodyguard, to perform pressure defense on him at any time and not give Nash a chance to comfortably organize the pass.
Offensively, play as fast as you can, and don't panic when you fall into a positional battle. You can make fuss about Nash's body and play singles on him. If you are alone, you can attack Nash, and when you are flanked, you can distribute the ball.
Nelson has two goals. One is to force the Suns and Warriors to compete on the outside.
Compared to what?
Of course it’s shooting!
The second is to lock Nash, the Suns' organizational brain, and force the Suns and Warriors to engage in individual singles.
"Old Nelson's tactics to attack the Suns are not unique. The Spurs coached by Bo Povich have already figured out the Suns.
The difference between the Warriors and the Spurs is that while the Spurs interrupt the Suns' offensive rhythm, they fight for defense with the Suns, while the Warriors fight for offensive firepower, especially individual singles, and offensive firepower from the outside..."
In terms of structure, Nelson has gone further.
Adding restrictions to the Suns' offense, preventing them from playing their advantageous offense, they did not refuse to compete with the Suns at all.
Naturally, Nash couldn't do what Nelson wanted and started a pick-and-roll tactic with Stoudemire. Unfortunately, when the offensive opportunity came up, Stoudemire's shot was not online.
Bang-dang——!
If Stoudemire doesn't work, then look for Marion. As a result, Jackson is not afraid of mismatches. Davis is 1.91 meters tall and obviously is not afraid of mismatches. The Suns' physical advantage is not obvious. With the Warriors' mobility, the Suns can't overturn it. Make waves.
In the 10th minute of the second quarter, Su Bei got a chance to take a shot and scored a three-pointer.
In the following time, even if the Warriors let Diaw open to attack, they would not give Su Bei a chance to shoot.
In positional warfare, everything is restricted, so increase your speed and rush forward to play fast breaks.
The Suns have obviously more offensive opportunities.
Subei also took advantage of Dongfeng to increase its score to 20 points in the first half.
However, the Warriors also thrive in run-and-gun battles. This kind of run-and-gun battle is also the Warriors' specialty. Even if the Suns play more smoothly, the advantage they can gain is not considerable. .
Especially the offensive efficiency of Wu Sheng Jackson and Jason Richardson when they singled out Nash was too high. Jackson made 4 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He once again scored 10 points in a single quarter. , even if Richardson only scored 7 points, he still suppressed the Suns in terms of offensive firepower.
In the second quarter of the game, the Warriors beat the Suns with a score of 33 to 30, leading a 14-point lead and entering the locker room to rest.
Rest for 15 minutes and come back for the second half of the game.
To be honest, a 14-point difference is really not a problem for the Suns' offensive rhythm of running and gunning for 7 seconds. It only takes a few minutes for the offensive state to be established.
However, Jason Richardson was so unreasonable and in such good shape that he hit two three-pointers, which completely stunned the Suns generals.
It's all convulsions, it's hard to be hard, that time won't last.
The results of it! Richardson didn't talk about martial arts, but he persisted until the third quarter of the game, which was just over an hour. This is outrageous.
Su Bei stepped forward and exchanged shots with Richardson, but was still defeated. With the addition of Nash, he was able to withstand Richardson's firepower alone, and the game completely fell to the Warriors.
At the end of the first three quarters, the Warriors widened the point difference to 23 points.
That's it, the Warriors' generals don't have the benefit of clocking out for three quarters. In order to hit the playoff stage, they have to do everything. I ask you, can you withstand it?
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game is over.
The score was 119 to 134. The Warriors defeated the Suns with a 15-point advantage and continued to build momentum for the playoffs.
Nash was targeted. He only played 30 minutes and scored 14 points and 9 assists. As the only ball-handling organizer, this data was not even enough to feed the cat.
Stoudemire had 17 points and 11 rebounds. He had no low-post offense and relied too much on Nash's assist ability, but he was useless. That is to say, he only had the temperament of a bully when dunking, but at other times, he really couldn't do it.
The only good thing is that Su Bei scored 20 points in the first half and also played in the fourth quarter of the second half, raising his personal statistics to 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, breaking his personal scoring record of 31 points, breaking it twice in a week. He broke the scoring record too quickly when he joined the Suns, but it's not outrageous. It all depends on the support and support of his teammates.
Richardson made 14 of 23 shots, 8 of 13 three-pointers, no free throws, just throws from the outside, scoring 36 points and 12 rebounds.
Jackson made 11 of 18 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 29 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds, a near-triple-double performance.
Davis made 10 of 22 shots and scored 21 points and 12 rebounds.
The Warriors' three core perimeter players scored a combined 86 points with only 10 minutes of rest. With such a performance, the Suns did not lose unfairly.
"The Sword Comes"
Su Bei is even thinking that in the 2006/07 season, if the Warriors meet the Suns in the playoffs, they will probably be a black eight or a black seven. Anyway, this Warriors team is too evil.
