At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides made personnel adjustments.
For the Warriors, Sun Yi and Curry played the entire first quarter and rested on the bench, with Ellis leading the team.
For the Suns, Nash still did not play, and Dragic organized the offense.
As soon as he came up, Ellis resolutely attacked the basket to cause damage.
The Suns' backup center, Robin Lopez, moved too slowly laterally to help defend effectively.
Seeing that the Warriors were about to catch up with the point difference, the Suns started to "rain three points" again.
Barbosa and Dudley each hit a three-pointer to help the Suns stabilize the situation on the court.
In this way, about 4 minutes into the second quarter, the head coaches of both sides made substitutions.
The Warriors replaced Sun Yi, Moreau and others, while Curry continued to stay on the bench to rest.
The Suns replaced Nash, Stoudemire and others.
After substitutions and adjustments, Nash and Stoudemire completed a classic pick-and-roll.
Stoudemire, who followed Nash, received a pass from Nash and completed a one-handed dunk.
After scoring the goal, Stoudemire finished his celebration, turned around and saw Sun Yi coming towards him, and ran up to him.
"Rookie, you can't guard me. If you only have this strength, don't talk big words in the future!"
Sun Yi was stunned. He just dunked a basket. How could it be the same as completing a buzzer beater?
"I won't bother you to worry about my affairs. Just mind yourself!"
After saying that, Sun Yi ignored Stoudemire and came to the baseline to catch the ball and advance.
Stoudemire didn't expect this rookie to be so arrogant, so he decided to blow this guy up and leave a deep impression on him.
The Warriors attacked, and Sun Yi came to the top of the key to prepare to deal the cards.
But this time his teammates failed to take the chance. The Suns defended very well, so he had to do it by himself.
Stoudemire saw Sun Yi making a breakthrough and immediately stepped forward to defend.
Seeing this, Sun Yi pulled the ball back, seamlessly changed direction in front of his body, shook Stoudemire away and broke through to the other side.
After rushing to the three-point line, he saw other Suns players catching up to cover the defense, and immediately broke through to the basket, activated the effect of the layup package, and took a dominant step.
Richardson, who came to help with defense, stepped forward and was very confident that he could let go of the rookie in front of him, but the result was completely different from what he imagined.
When the two came into physical contact, Richardson was pushed away, as if Sun Yi had taken the initiative to make way for him.
"Damn! Here comes another LeBron James."
At the moment of physical confrontation, Richardson seemed to feel that he was facing LeBron James, and a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.
Without any obstacles, Sun Yi rushed to the basket and scored an easy layup.
Stoudemire, who was pursuing the defense, frowned and was a little dissatisfied.
"Jason, what are you doing? Why didn't you stop him? If you just buy me a little time, I can give that rookie a big hit."
"Amare, that rookie is not simple."
Faced with Stoudemire's question, Richardson offered a feeble defense.
He tried his best, but he didn't let anything go.
Stoudemire didn't take it seriously, thinking Richardson was making excuses for his incompetence.
In the next round, Nash once again cooperated with Stoudemire in a pick-and-roll.
Sun Yi helped Curry delay for a while, then immediately rushed back to defend.
If you let an elementary school student face Stoudemire, you will really give away points.
On the other side, Nash saw Stoudemire cutting towards the basket and immediately threw the ball over the basket.
When Stoudemire saw the basketball coming, he immediately jumped up and caught the ball.
At the same time, Sun Yi, who was following up, jumped up immediately, stretched his arms to interfere, and his fingertips happened to touch the basketball.
"Oh! Sun destroyed Steve and Amare's inevitable alley-oop. He jumped really high."
The Suns' on-site commentator made an objective comment.
Curry, who retreated into the penalty area, luckily picked up the basketball and turned around to advance towards the frontcourt.
The Suns returned to defense very quickly. After all, they are a run and gun team and know how to defend run and gun.
Unable to make a fast break, Curry showed off by hitting the ground with his crotch and passing the ball back, and then quickly ran without the ball.
He felt that he was most comfortable playing without the ball, and he could just leave the matter of making gestures and directing traffic to his brother.
Sun Yi, who followed up, didn't expect the elementary school student to be so naughty. He received the pass about half a meter away from the three-point line and jumped directly to shoot.
The moment he took action, he was lucky enough to get the badge [Marksman] and his shooting percentage increased significantly.
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
There were bursts of applause and cheers from the audience.
A super long three-point shot like this is quite exciting.
After scoring, Sun Yi high-fived Curry, who ran up to him, to celebrate.
"Sun, tell the truth, when did you steal my shooting bag? This ball is so cool!" Curry said jokingly.
"Stephen, normal operation, don't get excited." Sun Yi said pretending to beep.
On the other side, Stoudemire saw the two rookies smiling, clenched his fists, and cursed in his heart.
"Damn it! That kid tricked me!"
Nash ran over and patted Stoudemire on the back.
"Amare, don't take it to heart. I can't blame you for this ball. Next time we play a pick-and-roll, we will return one. We can't let young people underestimate us old guys."
Stoudemire nodded and ran forward to join the attack.
The Suns attacked. Seeing that his teammates failed to take advantage of the opportunity, Nash waved to the inside.
Stoudemire ran forward to cover without the ball, and Nash took the opportunity to break through to the basket.
See the Warriors switch defense and pass the ball to Stoudemire.
Curry jumped up to break the pass but was limited by his physical hardware and was unable to stop the ball.
Stoudemire received the pass and hit a mid-range jumper.
In the next round, Ellis' layup was interfered with and failed to score.
The Suns protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a counterattack.
Nash quickly dribbled forward, came outside the three-point line, and passed the ball to Stoudemire, who came from behind.
Stoudemire received the pass, took a big step, jumped into the air, and made a two-handed dunk gesture.
Sun Yi, who was chasing after him, jumped up immediately and stretched out his arms to hit the basketball.
Snap!
Stoudemire felt a huge force and then the basketball came out of his hands.
The flying basketball hit the backboard and bounced out.
Randolph, who retreated to the basket, grabbed the rebound and passed it to Ellis to advance.
When Xiao Gongju came outside the three-point line, he pulled up the ball without warning and threw the basketball in his hand.
Stoudemire rushed into the penalty area and got into position, occupying a favorable position. He felt that these random shots would definitely not score, so he was ready to fight for rebounds.
At the same time, Sun Yi also rushed in. He had the same idea as Xiao Si. Not everyone is Ku Ritian.
Bang!
Sun Yi, who was sprinting, activated the bond badge [Punch Master]. His bounce, bullet speed and other abilities were enhanced, and he jumped to the highest point like a rocket.
On the other side, Stoudemire, who was thinking of jumping to grab a rebound, felt a huge force coming from behind and staggered forward a few steps before steadying himself.
Peng!
Sun Yi dunked with one hand through Stoudemire!
There were cheers in the American West Arena.
This goal was so exciting that the fans at the scene began to rebel.
Hearing the harsh cheers, Stoudemire was very unwilling to be detained and turned around and walked towards Sun Yi.
At this time, Sun Yi happened to land safely on the floor. Seeing Stoudemire approaching aggressively, he did not panic at all.
Some players in the league who claim to be tough guys are just fake. Sun Yi doesn't think this guy dares to fight, even if he does, it's not fake.
At the same time, the referee noticed something was wrong and immediately blew the whistle and ran over quickly.
Stoudemire saw that the rookie was calm and composed, and showed a joking look in his eyes, knowing that he had hit the iron wall.
Are all rookies today so young? !
At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he saw other Warriors players coming around, feeling a little panicked.
"Is something wrong?" Sun Yi asked with a smile.
"No...nothing, I just need to borrow it."
Stoudemire gave in and ran past Sun Yi.
When the referee who ran up saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing happened.
The Warriors players also gathered around. After asking concerned questions, they saw that Sun Yi was fine and quickly hurried back to their respective defensive areas.
After this episode, the referee blew his whistle to signal that the game would continue.
