Billups quickly passed the ball outside.Durant caught the ball at a 60-degree angle and made another three-pointer! 11 to 1.
At this time, Suns coach Terry Porter suddenly stood up and pointed at the scorer on the sidelines and yelled.It turned out that there was an obvious error in the technical statistics. The score displayed on the scoreboard was 11 to 1, but just now Nash made a mid-range shot. The Suns were not easy to score. Obliterated.Could Potter not be angry?
The scorekeeper quickly adjusted the score with an apology.This became a little tidbit on the field.
Tucao: "This damned irresponsible scorekeeper!"
Reader: "This is clearly a bug, right? Your elementary school math teacher can die..."
Tucao: "... Well, it's actually a bug. The score is 11 to 3!"
------------segmentation--------------
Terry Porter faced an unsolvable problem, that is, how to defend the Bobcats' perimeter offense.The Bobcats took advantage of O'Neal's slow moving speed and stormed. O'Neal couldn't defend well against pick-and-rolls. As long as the opponent's defender relied on the screen to break through and O'Neal followed, the Suns' inside line would be completely empty.If you don't follow up, the defenders don't have to enter the penalty area, and they can throw away the defender and shoot directly.
If the Suns can select Robin Lopez in the draft according to historical development, even if there is a problem with their inside line, at least it will not be as serious as it is now.The Suns can't replace O'Neal. If O'Neal goes off, they can only play Brian Skinner, who is only 205cm tall and can only grab rebounds.Or let the second-round rookie Australia "Little Shark" Nathan Jawai to play center.Jawai is a fat man with good athletic ability, short in height, 208cm in weight, and 127kg in weight. In the previous games, he only played two games for the Suns, scoring a total of 2 points. Stodamire was injured. Was urgently recalled in the Development League.
No matter what you do, the sun will be worse than it is now.Not only can the substitution not make the Suns better defensively, but even the offense will not work.
The Suns' signings this summer were very unsuccessful. O'Neal's annual salary of more than 2000 million is like a five-finger mountain.The Suns have been trying to find ways to clear their salaries in order to make a comeback in the future, and introduce good insiders without extra money.
Marc Gasol tops O'Neal, preventing him from turning easily.If O'Neal can't turn around and rely on his strength to step inside, when he gets to the basket, he may have a 24-second offense violation.O'Neal squeezed into the penalty area and made a half-hook shot.This ball Gasol did not foul again, a rare start, he did not want to be replaced so soon.O'Neal's shot was a bit far away, and he didn't grasp the strength well. The ball hit the basket and popped out. Hayes stuck Amanderson and grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Bobcats launched a fast break again, this time the person who ran in front was Billups.Hayes passed the ball accurately to Billups.Nash is not strict with the defense, and there are two steps away from Billups, making it easy for Billups to catch the ball.
Gerald - Wallace and Durant have also rushed to the Suns half, followed by Diaw and Bell.Billups took the ball with both hands from the outside and shook it in Durant's direction, pulled it up and shot.
Is there anything more rare than a Billups dunk?One of the answers is that Nash blocked the shot... Nash just raised his hand and watched Billups throw the ball, and the ball went in!Another three points! 14 to 3.
In a few rounds, the Bobcats led the Suns by 10 points.
Nash organized the offense with the ball and was double-teamed by the Bobcats.Nash is the best passing point guard in the league. In the previous few seasons, the end of double-teaming Nash was that Nash easily assisted his teammates to score. But this season, every team dared to double-team Nash, because The Suns don't have as many scoring points, especially without Stoudemire.
O'Neal pulled the high screen and was emptied. Nash was double-teamed and couldn't return the high post. O'Neal received the ball in this position with almost zero attack power. "Warcraft" Howard is also not sure about shooting from high positions, at least he can break through inside. O'Neal can neither shoot nor break through.Armandson set a screen for Bell on the baseline, and Bell threw off Durant's defense.Nash saw the space and immediately gave the ball to Bell.
Marc Gasol tried to cover the defense, but it was still too slow, and Bell made a three-pointer from the bottom corner. 14 to 6.
The Suns can't play fast breaks, and the tactics are also double pick-and-rolls.But their outside shooters are only Bell, Nash, and Diaw.For the Bobcats, everyone but Gasol can shoot [-]s.
O'Neal couldn't keep up with the defender's speed, and the Bobcats stormed the Suns' weaknesses and strengthened the breakthrough.After the pick-and-roll, Billups and Durant made consecutive breakthroughs.
The Bobcats have been firmly controlling the situation of the game. In the 5th minute of the first quarter, O'Neal received the second foul of the game because of the lack of supplementary defense in time, and was replaced by Skinner.
The Bobcats also made substitution adjustments, with Marc Gasol off and Brook Lopez on.At the same time, Gerald Wallace was replaced and Bargnani was replaced.
Bargnani said to his teammates after playing: "Three points!"
"Understood!" Several Bobcats players said in unison, they all understand what "three points" means.D'Antoni made this substitution just to make the three-point firepower stronger.
Hayes went to the low post to ask for the ball, and the man who defended him was Amanderson.Amanderson has height and strength. The Suns are optimistic that he can compete with Hayes, at least he will not be easily scored by Hayes.
Billups lobs the ball to Hayes and runs to the baseline by himself.Lopez moves on the baseline, giving Billups a screen.On the other side, Bargnani pulled beyond the three-point line and gave Durant an off-ball screen.
After the screen, Durant was replaced by Diaw.It was Bell who defended Bargnani.Hayes handed the ball to Bargnani at the top of the arc.Bargnani ignored Bell's defense and made another three-pointer!The score became 22 to 12.Halfway through the first quarter, this is already the Bobcats' fifth three-pointer in this game.
The height of the Bobcats players has a clear advantage, making it difficult for the Suns to defend.
The Suns' offense was still in the past. Nash used Skinner's cover to rush into the inside line, faced Hayes with his right hand and circled half a circle behind his back, handed over his left hand and passed it to Diaw who was following up.Diaw jumped up with the ball and dunked successfully, but Lopez failed to block the ball. 22 to 14.
The Bobcats attacked in a position, Hayes still went to the low post on the right to ask for the ball, and Armandson topped the defense.This time, Billups passed the ball to Durant at a 60-degree angle and ran to the baseline himself.Although Durant was much taller than Bell, he didn't choose to play hard and handed the ball to Hayes.
After receiving the ball, Hayes took the ball outside the three-point line, handed the ball to Billups, stood still, and blocked the follow-up Nash.Amanderson didn't react to this change. Billups made an open three-pointer from the right corner and hit the ball again! 25 to 14.
Bobcats players strive to be in their most accurate position every time they make a shot.Once the opening is obtained, the hit rate is surprisingly high.
The Suns made a pass error and the ball was knocked out of the baseline by Diaw.
At this time, the Bobcats replaced Durant.The Suns coach Porter secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Durant's offense put a lot of pressure on the Suns. He was replaced at this time, and the Suns should have a chance to chase points.The Bobcats replaced Mike Miller, a pure shooter who was more accurate than Durant.Needless to say, he only has one task on the court, and that is to shoot three-pointers.
Hayes to the left three-point line.Billups took the ball to the right, and this time he formed a triangle with Lopez and Miller.Miller is also a good point forward, receiving the ball on the outside to protect the basketball, and Billups rushed to the baseline with the cover of Lopez.
With the Bobcats' cooperation before, as long as there is a cover and the outside player cuts inside, the ball will be passed to this person immediately.Armandson has formed a fixed thinking mode, he felt that the Bobcats would hit Billups, so he kept up with Billups who was running without the ball.
But instead of passing the ball to Billups, Miller passed it to Lopez.After the switch, Lopez faced Nash in the low post.Lopez held high and hit high, even if he didn't jump, it would not be easy for Nash to shoot the ball in his hand.
Lopez has an absolute advantage to play singles, but he didn't shoot, but watched the situation from the corner of his eye and passed the ball immediately.The Bobcats are very strict in training. The tactic is to hit a three-pointer, so it is a three-pointer. This is the discipline in the team!He just glanced at it and saw that Hayes ran out of the three-point line under the cover of Bargnani.Lopez passed the ball back to the top of the key.
Hayes received the ball. Since the Suns were defending the zone defense and Diaw was still in a high position, Hayes didn't get a good shot.Just when Diaw thought he could stop Hayes from shooting, Hayes passed the ball again, gently sending the ball to his left.Billups made a circle from the baseline and ran back to the three-point line to receive the ball.But Amanderson gave up Billups' defense after seeing Lopez facing Nash, and turned around to mark Lopez.
As a result, the Sun's defense has been completely messed up.Nash didn't know who to defend, and it was too late to run in the direction of Billups.
Billups made an open three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net! 28 to 14.
The Bobcats don't seem to know any tactics except shooting three-pointers.But it is so simple to rely on pick-and-roll shooting, the Suns can't prevent it.The Bobcats hit 9 three-pointers in the first quarter!The hit rate is as high as 60%.Such firepower, the sun can't resist at all.Although the Suns also scored a lot of points in the first quarter, they fell behind by a big score of 42 to 29.
In the second quarter, the main players of the Suns have begun to feel tired and can only be replaced by substitutes.Point guard Lindro Barbosa, shooting guard Trey Johnson, small forward Allendo Tucker, power forward Andre Brown, and center Skinner.Such a lineup can be described as horrible. The Suns' goal is very clear, which is to let Barbosa make unlimited shots as the main attack.Others defend.
According to the way the Suns played before, Barbosa should have had a chance to play in the first quarter, but the Bobcats' shooter is too tall. If Barbosa and Nash play together, the defense will be sieved. In fact, Barbosa Without playing, they have already been beaten into a sieve.
The Bobcats sent a luxurious bench lineup.The center is Gasol, the power forward is the energetic Landry, and the small forward is Gerald Wallace, who has rested for half a quarter and is full of energy.Shooting guard Azubuike and point guard George Hill.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Wallace used Gasol's high screen to break into the paint, and then accelerated past Andre Brown, who was defending, and rushed to the basket.Skinner stepped forward to defend, and Wallace passed the ball to the right corner.Hill has already thrown off Barbosa under the cover of Landry, unmarked a three-pointer, and scored again! 45 to 29.
The Bobcats hit the 10th three-pointer of the game, and it rained three-pointers at the Time Warner Arena!
