In the second quarter, Nash, Stoudemire and Su Bei enjoyed the main treatment and rested.
After all, playing 7 games against the Spurs takes too much energy. You have to take care of yourself when you have the chance.
Kurt Thomas, Marion, Diaw, Laga Bell, and Barbosa rotated.
Not to mention, the addition of Su Bei has given the Suns a lot more rotation in their lineup.
I don't know if the talents selected by the Jazz in recent years are good or not, but there are still a lot of them.
Deron and Okur continue to fight again.
Replaced with Matt Halprin, Gordon Jirisek and Millsap.
The second quarter of the game begins.
The Suns have the ball, and Barbosa rushes forward. Deron is not slow, but it definitely depends on who he is competing with. If it is a straight line, Deron will not be too far behind. Once he changes direction, the little fat man cannot keep up. .
He rushed into the penalty area with lightning speed, and Okur's ability to protect the basket was impossible to stop.
Swish——!
After two points, Okur's block hit the tail of the basketball.
Okur's physical talent and defensive skills are not top-notch. Faced with this unreasonable speed, it is difficult to stop Duncan when he comes.
The difference became 8 points.
On the court, the Jazz attacked, Deron controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and the score was behind, but he did not panic.
"With Boozer out, Deron and Okur played a pick-and-roll tactic.
After passing Barbosa, Deron threw the basketball to the free throw line, Okur received the ball and made an open two-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Okur missed a two-pointer.
During the regular season this season, Okur averaged an All-Star level performance of 18 points and 7 rebounds with a shooting percentage of 46.5%.
However, during the playoffs, the promised All-Star insider ended up with 11 points and 8 rebounds, and his shooting percentage dropped to 38.8%, which was too much.
This kind of turret-style center can be described as soft in the playoffs.
Subsequently, the Suns' offense was handled by the two fast horses of Barbosa and Marion. When they rushed up, they bombed. When they fell into a positional battle, they used pick-and-roll tactics. In the end, they fought for speed and shooting touch, without any technical content, but Victory lies in scoring lots of points.
The Jazz's tactical system is still a pick-and-roll tactic.
Deron and Boozer were playing before, and now it's Deron and Okur's turn.
In addition to having fun playing pick-and-rolls, Sloan also did some homework, such as screwing over stars, and Deron had almost no chance to rest.
With Deron on the court, the Jazz's pick-and-roll fundamentals will not decline much.
As a result, the two sides played back and forth, the Suns' offense was unstoppable, and the Jazz's offense also performed well.
The reason why the Jazz replaced Kirilenko was to enhance the offensive firepower on both wings.
Matt Harprings and Gordon Gillisel are both dominant shooters. The Jazz's offensive firepower is naturally not bad. Even if the shooting is excellent, there is no need to worry. Millsap is very capable of grabbing frontcourt boards. One batch, more or less guaranteed rebounds.
The Jazz can use a little more sloppiness in their shooting.
7 minutes later, the Suns' rotation only expanded the point difference by 1 point.
Then the main players came back, and the Jazz couldn't stop the continued offensive firepower.
“In the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs forced the Suns into a game seven.
Everyone knows that the Spurs' defense is very tough, but in fact, the Spurs averaged 110 points in the three games they won against the Suns.
The Suns have raised their offensive level to a very high level, and the firepower produced by the Jazz's monotonous pick-and-roll tactics is really not enough..."
In the second quarter of the game, Subei only scored 3 points. The offense was soy sauce, and the defense was also soy sauce most of the time.
Kirilenko's average number of shots per game was only 6. When Su Bei faced him, they were scattered throughout the game. Excluding self-shooting and self-grabbing shots, the number of AK47 shots was really very limited.
Su Bei had no choice but to play "health basketball" quietly and watch his teammates' performances.
However, Su Bei almost gave up and the first half ended.
The score was 68 to 55, and the Suns still had a 13-point lead and entered the locker room to rest.
After eliminating the Spurs, Su Bei suddenly realized that when playing against other teams, it really doesn't matter if the Suns have him or not.
Then I leave?
"Deron and Boozer played a pick-and-roll tactic, throwing off Nash's defense and breaking through to the left.
Su Bei rushed to help defend and changed direction. Delong pulled the ball and forced it. Su Bei did not lose his position. He covered the sky with his hands. Delong pulled the pole and avoided the first day of junior high school... No, he avoided Su Bei and followed him. Marion directly slapped Deron's layup away..."
Snapped--!
The basketball flew out of the baseline, and the Jazz still had the ball.
Su Bei and Marion both felt lonely.
The defense is so unflattering and doesn't give you statistics at all.
Su Bei didn't retreat either. One wave was simply not enough to score points. He had no chance to attack him. Now that he couldn't leave, he could only focus on defense.
Finally, Nash's defense is garbage enough. As long as Su Bei is willing to work hard, even if he is just a walk-on, he still has many opportunities to perform, and sometimes he can even steal the protagonist's role.
Nash is like a little fresh meat.
Although offensively, the traffic is all his, but as long as Subei's defense is good, there is no need to climb mountains or ask questions, and there is always a chance.
"Bangdang——!
Boozer's mid-range shot failed due to interference from Nash and Su Bei.
Touching the ground of the Western Conference Finals for the first time, Boozer's offensive performance was not stable.
The shooting in the first half was very beautiful, but the shooting in the second half was a bit tough..."
"The rebound was grabbed by Stoudemire, and he quickly distributed the ball to Nash, Su Bei, Laga Bell and Marion. They shot three arrows at once, and their bodies rushed up to hit and run.
Among the Jazz's players who can run, Deron and Nash are the only ones left, and the only ones left are Fisher and Kirilenko. Whose card will Nash turn over?
Su Bei received Nash's pass, drove the ball to the penalty area, jumped up, and slammed the basketball into the basket..."
Bang——!
Two points scored.
Su Bei worked hard to help defend, and finally got feedback from Nash. He took advantage of the cake during the counterattack and scored two more points for himself.
Next, Su Bei became very savvy, focused on defensive work, and was very comfortable assisting Nash in defense.
Although, in the end, because Nash was so bad, the Suns' defense was still unable to guard against it most of the time, Su Bei's presence became more present, and gradually, there were more offensive opportunities.
"In the pick-and-roll between Nash and Marion, Kirilenko let Su Bei go and rushed to help defend. Nash passed Deron and threw an AK47 in front of him, and then passed the back..."
boom--!
The basketball hit the floor, bounced up, and flew into Su Bei's hands. He caught the ball, lifted it, jumped up, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper.
The entire shooting action is as smooth as clouds and flowing water, with no unnecessary movements.
Kirilenko's talent is really strong and he is very mobile. He turned around and made defensive moves that seemed to hit Su Bei's face. However, the rhythm was still half a beat too slow.
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei hit the three-pointer accurately.
This was just an ordinary open shot. Su Bei didn't even celebrate, and immediately devoted himself to defense, hiding his merit and fame.
At that moment, he shone like a true role player.
If you had to give Su Beian a name, at this moment, he could be called a "3D player."
At the end of the first three quarters, the Suns widened the point difference to 16 points.
That's it?
Isn’t the strength of the Jazz team too good?
That's because you're not playing at the Energy Project Arena, but at someone else's home court. The Jazz's strength is still very good at shooting, so don't be surprised at how it turns out.
Okur is unreliable as an All-Star.
Boozer is also unreliable as an All-Star.
The performances of the two All-Stars were different from their usual performances, but Deron's performance was very eye-catching.
In fact, Delong can't help but be eye-catching.
The fourth quarter of the game... no, strictly speaking, in the first half of the game, Deron discovered that the pick-and-roll tactic was simply taking off his pants and farting. Against Nash, single-calling may be the winning formula.
It's not even possible.
"Deron did not continue the pick-and-roll, but held the ball and challenged Nash. He started, accelerated, carried Nash's body, rushed into the penalty area, changed direction and pulled the ball for a layup..."
Beep——!
Swish——!
Deron resisted Nash's defense and scored two points. At the same time, he also caused Nash's thug to foul, making the score 2+1!
Swish——!
The gap between the two sides became 13 points.
