Chapter 670 He's Too Steady 3/5)(1/2)
Nash scored 5 points in a row, and Xie Hou responded 21.
"I think Arthur is not in his best form yet," Barkley said. "He has been playing power forward for two months. I believe this experience must be extraordinary for him, but at the same time he has to slowly adjust his form in both positions."
Barkley has the most say in changing positions.
In his early years, he was also a wizard who was in the third and fourth positions. When he was young, he was the Shark and Xie Hou in the third position. He was invincible in the world. Later, his body management was out of control and he got older. He changed to the full-time No. 4 position, which was also super-giant. But Barkley also went through a long and short run-in before adapting to the new position.
The power forward who had been playing for two months was visible to the naked eye. Now that he wants to play back, he also needs to adapt again.
In terms of the sun, Garnett's god-like cover actually overturned Papalucas, who was chasing Nash's defense, to the ground.
This is the value of core power.
Garnett seemed to have no force. Papalucas saw that he was thin and wanted to squeeze through his defense, but he was steadily bounced away by the former's unfathomable core force.
Nash dribbles into the penalty area.
He has scored 5 points in a row, and it is rare for Nash to start offense mode at the beginning. He is a player who likes to drive his teammates. Tim Thomas's assisting ability is far less than that of Xie Hou, and is even more different from Kirilenko, but he did a very good job in assisting defense in that round.
"This is the best defense!" Doug Collins yelled after Thomas entered the defensive position.
Can the best defense bring the best defensive effect?
Thomas' defense followed Nash's body and took off.
Nash's bounce might not be as good as Golden State Lavender. We have seen Golden State Lavender's positional battle, strong dunk/mine dunk/ and excessive power slitting, but Nash has never dunked. Although videos of him wearing plainclothes dunks are circulated on the Internet, he has never dunked in the game. Based on the principle of nowhere, it can be concluded that Nash's physical fitness is not as good as Golden State Lavender because he has never completed dunks in the NBA. Not only did Golden State Lavender have "many" dunks, but he also performed a unique skill of getting up after slipping and getting up (although I don't know what the meaning of comparing the bounces of these two people here).
The body is not good enough and the skills have been like this since ancient times.
Under normal circumstances, Nash's offense will be blocked this time. He used his left hand to lay up and picked the ball to a very high position to hit the board.
7 to 3
"Scoring 7 points in a row, he showed us a completely different side!"
"No, Steve just wanted to prove that the rumor that he could win the scoring champion as long as he wanted was well documented!"
The Suns' attack was fast, and Xie Hou's response also made the ball urgent.
Iguodala failed to face Xie Hou in time.
This is the reason for the Suns' outside defense collapse. They allowed Xie Hou to easily rush into the free throw line, which was too dangerous.
Xie Hou slid out the European step that moved to the left while stepping on the paint area, and Marion's defense couldn't reach him.
Garnett reappears.
Every time, he can always stand in the best position to bring Xie Hou's explosive defense.
No matter how strong Xie Hou's athletic ability is, he cannot score strongly under such defense. When his physical fitness cannot be effective, the only thing that can save the game is skills.
Xie Hou made a larger high-pitched shot according to Nash's goal to hit Thomas.
The difficulty of Nash's goal was A-level, while Xie Hou's goal was S-level.
The ball flew high from Garnett's front.
At its highest point, it had already flown to a higher position than the rebound.
It rolled and fell, and it was not known whether it was a coincidence or Xie Hou had already counted its landing point.
Impartially, the basketball hits the top of the rebound.
The rotation force exerted by Xie Hou on the ball was just right, hitting the rebound without any additional force, causing it to deviate from the route, and it fell towards the center of the basket.
Swish!
"Two rounds in a row! Artistic layup!~"
"This is a visual feast brought by the two best offensive defenders in the league!"
When the ball entered, Xie Hou's teammate was about to celebrate when he heard him shouting: "Go back to defense!"
Yes, you must return to defense.
If Xie Hou hadn't reminded him, his teammates might have fallen from peak to trough in an instant. The sun's counterattack was too fast!
Nash quickly dribbled through half the game and wanted to have a sudden attack.
As Xie Hou pointed out, the walkers' retreat was in place, and the sun seemed to be able to slow down.
The son of Wind came to the right three-point line and Xie Hou went up. He changed hands behind the back and dribbled the ball continuously, and the surprising dribbling rhythm changes failed to shake Xie Hou's defense away.
Two months of fighting in the penalty area strengthened Xie Hou's patience on the defensive end.
People who are impatient are not good at defenders.
Those players who are often anxious and angry will always be tricked by their opponents, while Xie Hou learned from setbacks. The two months of hard work not only strengthened his confrontation, but also made him a better defender.
He was astonishingly defending Nash's attack.
Nash broke through the bottom line and went to the bottom line without any result. He could only pass the ball back to Iguodala next to him.
Most teams will wait until Nash runs to the top of the arc before returning the ball to him.
The sun is not needed.
Running and bombing are so free.
Marion came up to pick-and-roll, Iguodala continued to dribble to the bottom line, Artest continued to oppress, and Tim Thomas gave up Marion and wanted to attack this new star with the beast that surprised the Phoenix.
Iguodala's progress exceeded the Suns' expectations. He averaged 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season. He is basically the second ball holding point outside Nash. He can attack, make balls and play singles at critical moments. If he is in good condition, his physical fitness can allow him to play an offense that is more unreasonable than Nash.
Artest's confrontation with him made this young man who kept reminding himself to keep his normal mind urge to perform.
Iguodala regards Thomas' double-team as air, and does not take Artest in front of him seriously. After changing direction, he drifts with three-pointers.
The most dangerous moment was Thomas, who was regarded as air by him.
Thomas crashed hard into Iguodala who jumped into the air, destroying his center of gravity and cylinder from foot to head.
Incredibly, the bottom line referee did not show any of this defense.
Iguodala missed a three-pointer.
Mike D'Anthony stood up and roared at the referee with a fist gesture: "Are you fucking blind or you didn't bring your eyes to the court? I'll blow you %@%...(vulgar words)..."
It is not common for a moustache to look furious. Since the audience sees it, the referee must do a good job.
Give me a T first, let my beard calm down and restore my demeanor. If I really can't recover, I'll go outside the American Airlines Center to blow the cold wind. The weather has been good recently and it's quite suitable.
The booed the audience as if they wanted to lift the ceiling of the stadium.
Fans expressed their dissatisfaction angrily, and the players were puzzled by the referee's actions.
That was a foul by the Pacers, an unquestionable foul.
Forget it if you don’t brag. In the face of D’Antoni’s “elegant” protest, why would you give T? Warn it, isn’t it better to give T to T if you don’t have any effect?
Anyway, the Pacers inexplicably received two free throws.
They gained the support of the referee on the battlefield in a foreign land.
The only thing that pleases Suns fans is that Iguodala was not injured in the foul defense just now.
"Indeed, Tim Thomas fouled, and Mike D'Anthony's approach was understandable, that was a very dangerous move."
"He should beat the referee."
"Ha, then we can't see him on the court."
The commentators often watch the excitement, and they are not afraid of extreme situations. Even if the game does not become exciting, they will lack fun.
Barkley said: "The smell of gunpowder is a must. The world peace set does not apply to the focus battle. The game really begins from this moment. These two teams will do their best to win Christmas!"
Xie Hou performed two technical foul free throws.
His free throw shooting percentage, which was not small compared to last season, was last season, but he was still at 85%, ranking first in the team.
Both free throws were scored, 7 to 7.
Like Nash, Xie Hou scored 7 points in a row.
"No matter how unreasonable the penalty is, what we see now is that Arthur has done the same thing as Steve Nash through his personal ability, and it has been divided equally!"
"Now, this war has returned to its origin. Both sides want to compete for the 'leading peak'. Only by grabbing this peak and guarding until the end of the game can we win this world-renowned battle!"
Papalucas took Xie Hou's serve and stretched out his left hand to make a clear gesture to him.
He stretched out three fingers.
Seeing his gesture, Tim Thomas made it clear to cover Xie Hou.
Xie Hou followed his cover into the inside line, and on the left waist position, he stuck Marion's body and asked for a ball on his back.
"Here, this is the most offensive method Arthur has used this season!"
The ball was passed in, and Xie Hou was hitting Marion on his back.
Marion is only two meters tall with bare feet. He has played power forward for a long time in the Suns. His playing style meets the requirements of the running and bomb system for the fourth position - the fourth position that can shoot at mid- and long distances in the third position - and he does not play the fourth position hard at the third position, and his career capture of more than 10,000 rebounds proves his toughness.
It is never easy for Xie Hou to fight Marion.
The hacker was about to force the ball, but Papalucas made no-ball cover for Thomas.
