Chapter 111 Victory over the Sun
Back from the timeout, the lineups of both sides have changed.
Robin Lopez replaced O'Neal and Crawford replaced Chris Duhon.
Similarly, offensive tactics have also changed.
When Suns coach Terry Porter saw Crawford singles Nash, he knew that he had underestimated D'Antoni.
Nash also deeply doubted whether he had done something to be sorry for D'Antoni, otherwise why would he target himself like this?
Ao Pang, who was sitting off the court, was completely relieved, no longer caring about D'Antoni's targeting, but gloating at Nash's misfortune.
And Nash's defense was also unable to withstand Crawford's offense, and a simple acceleration disintegrated his defense.
Crawford had already completed the shot before Grant Hill's belated help.
"Shh!"
The crisp sound of scoring a goal hit the heart of the Suns coach Terry Porter. At this time, he can only pin his hopes on the team's offense.
But after playing 3 and a half quarters, the tactics based on O'Neill can be changed so easily.
Standemire's storm was rejected by the basket.
The Knicks, who protected the rebound, stopped attacking and handed it over to Duke to slowly dribble across half court.
After halftime, he didn't stick the ball and passed it directly to Crawford, who was facing Nash.
Crawford accelerated past Nash again with a mid-range jumper.
"Shh!"
Keep scoring.
Poor Nash was ravaged again.
The Knicks also extended their lead to 5 points.
After being ravaged twice in a row, Nash, an honest man, couldn't help but get mad.
After switching over, he fired directly from outside the three-point line with Stoudemire's cover.
"Shh!"
Three-point precision guidance.
The offense has stabilized, but the defensive loopholes are still there.
This time it was the turn of Duke, who had been silent for a long time, to go crazy.
At the signal of Suns coach Terry Porter, Jason Richardson reluctantly ran to help Nash defend Crawford.
But Crawford wasn't carried away by the streak.
Seeing Jason Richardson coming over, he returned the ball to Duke at the top of the arc.
Duke received the ball and directly opened his hand for a super long three-pointer.
"Shh!"
answerball!
Responded to Nash.
Under the strong offensive firepower of the Knicks, the Suns' method of tearing down the east to make up for the west does not work.
Fortunately, Nash's touch is still hot, and another three-pointer at the top of the arc keeps the Suns clinging to the score.
With Nash's three-pointer, there were less than 2 minutes left in the game, entering the most anxious stage.
"Tick!"
Sweat kept rolling down Nash's face. He looked solemnly at Crawford who was dribbling in front of him, and his body was ready to pounce at any time.
He knows that his defense is poor, so he tries his best to make up for it with offense. Two three-pointers are the best answer.
At this moment, Crawford moved.
Instead of the breakthrough Nash imagined, the ball was passed to Duke in the distance.
It turned out that when Crawford was about to attack, Jason Richardson was ready to move again, so he simply handed the ball to Duke to handle.
He is also a little tired. From the second half of the third quarter to the present, he only rested for a short 15 minutes in the 2 minutes.
When Duke caught the ball, Jason Richardson just moved to his feet from the left side and followed.
Seeing that Jason Richardson's footsteps were a bit hasty, he had an idea and broke through to the right in the direction of Jason Richardson.
Jason Richardson was overjoyed and accelerated to catch up.
Unexpectedly, Duke suddenly pulled the ball back and came to an emergency stop. Jason Richardson, who was caught off guard, couldn't stop the car and drifted directly in front of Duke.
Duke adjusts a bit and makes a mid-range shot.
"Shh!!!"
Take it easy and get two more points.
Suns head coach Terry Porter's face was very ugly. He is good at defense. When he saw the Knicks poking his team's defense into a thousand holes, he was naturally in a bad mood.
And Nash wanted to grab a three-pointer when he switched over, but this time Crawford was very alert and directly stuck to the opponent.
In desperation, Nash could only play tactical cooperation, and finally handed the ball to Standemeier. Standemeier forced the basket, causing a foul by the UAE.
"Shh!"
"boom!"
Standemire's free throws were also affected by O'Neal, making only one of the two free throws.
The basketball board was protected by the Knicks. At this time, there were 1 minute and 10 seconds before the game, and the Knicks led by 3 points.
At this time, the Knicks, who were holding the lead, were not in a hurry. After receiving the pass and dribbling for half court, Duke signaled to suppress the rhythm.
Time also slowly passed in his dribble.
"This ball is very critical. If the Suns can't defend, there is not much time left in the game. They still need two rounds of offense to catch up with the score, which is very difficult."
It was when Yu Jia was thinking from the perspective of the sun.
Duke also started.
He took a step back, opening up the space to break through.
Then he leaned forward suddenly to the left, and it stirred Jason Richardson's nerves, causing his feet to move in this direction unconsciously.
In an instant, Duke pulled the ball with his left hand to the right, and the center of gravity began to shift to the right.
It was a drastic change of direction.
Although Jason Richardson was shaking, his strong physical fitness allowed him to adjust in time, and he moved laterally to plug the gap.
But Duke took back his steps again, and retreated a lot.
"Step back? Time is running out! He can only shoot!"
Jason Richardson didn't suspect him, and flew towards him.
Jason Richardson, who was gliding in the air, wanted to give Duke a block, but found that the opponent didn't take off at all.
Instead, the moment he fell, he bumped against his body.
"drop!"
The referee's whistle blows.
Three-point shooting foul!
Three free throws!
Jason Richardson's face was ashen.
Yu Jia also said that the sun is gone.
Duke got to the free throw line and made three free throws.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Made all three free throws.
"drop!"
The Sun called a timeout again.
"We won this game without accident, but we can't relax yet."
"With 47 seconds left in the game, the opponent comes back from a timeout, and there is a high probability of going back to grab a three-pointer. Chris, you go up and replace David. In the next round, the main focus is to mark their perimeter."
"Remember, we can let them take two, but we can't let them shoot 3."
When the timeout came back, the Suns coach Terry Porter was dumbfounded. He felt as if he had been manipulated.
The Suns replaced Robin Lopez with Leandro Barbosa to strengthen the three-point ability.
The Knicks replaced David Lee with Chris Duhon to strengthen their three-point defense.
When Nash advanced to the front court, he suddenly found that the Knicks had 4 people standing on the outside line. No matter how they ran, they always stayed outside the three-point line.
Reluctantly, Nash could only pass to Stoudemire on the inside for a layup, but these two points did not play any role in the six-point difference between the two sides.
The Suns pressed the court and tried to contribute on the defensive end.
But the Knicks placed three ball-holding points on the court and easily broke their tight defense.
In the end, Chris Duhon was sent to the free throw line.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Two free throws were made, and the game lost its suspense.
With the Suns' last three-pointer, the game ended.
The Knicks defeated the Suns 117-111 in regulars and once again ushered in a wave of 4 consecutive victories.
Sean showed off in front of Nash today, scoring a double-double of 25 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists.
