Chapter 353 [Competition]

The Nets lost to the Suns at home and wanted to compete for the away game to prove their strength.

The two teams only played twice a season, and this time they lost again, Wang Jun was swept the season.

The Suns played a wonderful game at Madison Square Garden, with four starters scoring 20+ points, not including Nash. They beat the Knicks 133 to 118 in regular time.

No one doubted the Suns' attack power. Before the game started, the media promoted that the Suns would massacre the Nets at home.

Stadameier performed very crazy this season, averaging 26 points, 9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.6 blocks per game, and only played 36 minutes.

His offensive efficiency made many super scorers ashamed. In the game against the Trail Blazers on January 2, 2005, he scored a career-high 50 points.

Nash and S.'s pick-and-roll are extremely sharp and almost impossible to guard against. If S. S. plays more time, he is likely to become the scoring champion.

Wang Jun is still leading the scoring list, averaging 29.2 points per game, but he is not as efficient as Xiao Si when he averages 41.7 minutes per game.

Nash's performance was even more eye-catching, averaging 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 11.5 assists and 1 steal per game, revitalizing the team's offense and leading the assist list. He ranks first in the regular season MVP list, with three shooting percentages combined, and his shooting is first in the league, with accurate shooting.

High scoring efficiency and it is easier to help the team win than more scores. If you just score more and hit a low shooting rate, such a player is likely to be a cancer.

A typical example is Starkhouse, who averaged almost 30+ per game at his peak, but his shooting percentage was barely 40%. Once he left the Pistons and lost the ball, he would have to become a substitute.

On the 25th, Nash invited a few teammates to have supper and talked about tomorrow's game.

Nash quickly established his core position as soon as he arrived at the Suns. He was more like the boss than Sir and Marion. The two could only score on their own and could not lead the entire team.

Nash smiled after toasting: "Kidd, Wang Jun's comeback, and Carter, the Nets are not as easy to deal with as the first game. They are also teams with strong offensive strength. Everyone must not underestimate the enemy."

Stadameer is confident: "They can't defend our pick-and-roll. We will win!"

"Yes, give them some colors." Marion was relaxed.

Nash sighed: "It turns out that he still underestimated the enemy. The winning recently has been very easy. We must take the defending champion seriously?"

Xiao Si smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't relax. Pass more to me. It's nothing great to be a part of the Nets inside."

Nash turned his head and said, "Joe, guard against Wang Jun to see you tomorrow."

"I do my best." Joe Johnson said very plainly, but in fact he was full of fighting spirit.

He is very low-key. He has strength and has no ball rights. He is only the fourth leader in the team. This makes him feel unhappy, but he will not express his depression.

He is very willing to compete with Wang Jun and wants to prove his value in this way.

He felt that the two played similarly, both had average physical fitness, good strength, and shooting. He felt that he was better than Wang Jun because his passing awareness was excellent.

Nash said again: "I may shoot a few more goals tomorrow, so everyone should pay attention to rebounding. I want to prove that I am better than Kidd."

Xiao Si picked up the wine glass and clinked him, and smiled and said, "Everyone knows that you are better than Kidd, do you still need to prove it?"

"We won the championship to succeed. No matter how good we played in the regular season, it was just the regular season. I experienced it too many times when I was in the Mavericks. Kidd now has a ring."

Nash is not jealous of Kidd's football skills, but admires his record. It is not something that ordinary people can do when they reach the finals for three consecutive years. He is eager for the championship and wants to surpass Kidd and become the strongest point guard.

Coincidentally, Kidd also invited several teammates to dinner today, saying that he would win everything in this game and fight as a playoff.

Kidd was very embarrassed when facing the star point guard data. Not long ago, he just lost to Billups, Terry and Bibby, and didn't want to lose Nash anymore.

Kidd is self-aware. Now he is looking for pick-and-roll breakthroughs and looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers on the outside. His speed is not as fast as he can, but he doesn't feel that he is old.

TNT Radio broadcasts the game live.

Kenny Smith introduced: "This season's Suns are one of the most pleasing teams in NBA history. In the offensive system of head coach D'Antoni, led by MVP point guard Steve Nash, future star Joe Johnson and Amarestadmeier gradually emerged. The wings are equipped with Marion who can fly and shoot from a long shot, Barbosa as fast as lightning, and stable three-pointers Quentin Richardson and Jimmy Jackson. No one seems to be able to block their attack."

Barkley smiled and said, "It's a pity that their defense is very poor and they rely too much on small ball tactics. I don't think they can beat the Spurs in the playoffs."

"Why don't you look at the sun?" Smith asked with a smile: "Do you deliberately sing a opposite tune with me?"

Barkley shook his head. "No, I'm very optimistic. I just have to defend myself if I want to win the championship. The Suns are not the first small ball tactics. The Nets rely on this for the first two finals to enter the finals. Their offense is not as good as the Suns, but their defense is better, which is very important."

During the warm-up, Kidd greeted Nash, first and then soldiers, ready to compete.

Both are super point guards, and the two have a big difference in temperament.

Kidd looks fierce, with a big bald head a bit like a bandit; Nash's long hair is fluttering, and wearing a pair of glasses will look a little like a scholar.

Kidd must be stronger when looking at the image, but Nash proved what it means to behave like to behave like a person. He is better at attacking than Kidd.

Nets starters: Kidd, Wang Jun, Carter, Costic, and Collins.

Suns starters: Nash, Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson, Marion, Stardameier.

Stardameier jumped to the ball and the Suns attacked first.

Nash received the ball and went to the right side of the frontcourt to pick-and-roll with Sir Jr. Collins immediately switched defense. This was arranged by the coach, so Nash must not make it easy to shoot.

Nash attracted the defense and moved one step further, hitting the ground and passing the ball to the empty cutter.

Carter had no one stuck, so he chased Nash. Xiao Si jumped up with one step to catch the ball, and scored the ball with one hand. 0 to 2.

Kostic, who was making up for defense, did not dare to reach out. Chinese fans nicknamed Stadameier "Little Overlord", and the dunk was really domineering.

Smith smiled: "Amare is becoming a superstar this season, and his dunk reminds me of Rainman Camp."

Barkley said: "The Nets' joint defense was broken at the beginning. I think it's more appropriate to use people to keep a target against the Suns."

The Nets attacked, Kidd brought it to the frontcourt and gave it to Carter.

Carter and Costic avoided Richardson in the middle and broke through on the left, attracting Marion to replace defense.

The Suns are absolutely small ball tactics. Sir Little plays center forward, and power forward Marion is only 201cm tall. They lack height and are afraid of teams that can attack strongly in the inside. The Nets are obviously not in this line.

After arriving at the Nets, Carter divided the ball into a lot of ball rights, and the offensive task with the ball fell on his shoulders.

Responsible for possessing the ball is not necessarily a good thing. He was guarded by two of the Suns' best defenses.

Carter didn't dare to be timid when he met Marion. He failed to make a breakthrough and passed it to Kidd.

Kid leaned against Nash to observe. Wang Jun on the right side avoided Joe Johnson under the cover of Collins, and Kid passed the ball over.
