The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 387

During the intermission, the Suns’ locker room was quite calm. Leon didn’t even bother to arrange the tactics for the players in the second half. Although their defense was still ordinary in the first half, Leon didn’t want the players to work hard. Defensively, on the contrary, he is quite satisfied with the players' performance.

Especially for the second team on the bench, during the transitional period, Jaskovicius, Barry, Turiaf, even rookie Dudley, all have outstanding performance. Generally speaking, although the Suns did not come to open the score, they played relatively smoothly in the first half. According to Leon's temper in Boston in the past, the midfielder would definitely scold everyone, but he didn't have it in the Suns. He just let the players rest well, which made Lagaber and Boris Dior feel very uncomfortable.

The two sat together and muttered a few words quietly. Bell asked Dior if coach Leon had completely changed his **** this year. I heard that there will be great changes in the personality of people with children; Dior expressed opposition. He thought the regular season had just begun. , The days are still long, it is better to play well. Both of them went to the Celtics to be trained by Leon when they were rookies, and they were both low-posters, so they have the same respect for Leon as students and teachers.

After the two of them discussed, look at Leon, he was sitting on a stool in a daze, which is incredible. Of course, neither of them dared to provoke Leon, fearing that he would come over and scold him, so they only dared to speak quietly.

Leon sat there. He didn't let himself go. On the contrary, his mind kept turning. He analyzed the Suns' offense and defense in the first half, combined with the Lakers' performance, and made a detailed evaluation of the team's offensive and defensive effects. . At the same time, he is also trying his own new way of managing the team, which is to give a more relaxed team environment to offensive teams, especially teams with veteran core players.

In a defensive team like the Boston Celtics, the coach must constantly spur players. Defense is to make the opponent uncomfortable, and the coach must make his players uncomfortable, so that his players can make other players' players feel uncomfortable. Uncomfortable. The players of the defensive team must always maintain a strong hostility, even murderous.

On the offensive team, in the NCAA Leon felt that the players need to relax, the emotional integration between the players can even stimulate confidence and creativity beyond their own capabilities, which will make the team burst into superhuman offensive end energy of.

Of course, this requires the coach to control and grasp the emotions of the team. The opposite Phil Jackson is undoubtedly the master in this regard. Leon has never been very fond of Phil Jackson. The coaching paths of the two are quite different, but Leon admits that Jackson still has something to learn from. After all, the 9 championships are not falling from the sky.

Therefore, Leon only told the players with a serious attitude at the beginning of the game, "I want to play well in this game", and focused on encouragement and guidance during the game-to be honest, he is really not used to listening. Especially seeing players leaking on the defensive end and not delaying obstacles, he squeezed his fists and wanted to hit people, and finally resisted.

After the intermission, the players of both sides returned to the court. The second half of the game was about to begin. Before going on the court, Leon pulled Nash and said to him: "Steve, we can say you want to take A scoring champion." Nash listened and nodded with a smile, but Leon added with a serious face: "Your competitor is on the opposite side. You are already behind."

Leon is not talking about anyone else, but the Lakers' scoring leader in 2006 and 2007, Kobe Bryant. Nash never thought of comparing scores with Ko. He also knew that it was just a joke by Leon to make himself the scoring champion, but the joke was not a mess. Before the start of the season, Leon and Nash had the most exchanges. The two smart people had endless topics about basketball. Leon’s many ideas and suggestions gave Nash a huge inspiration. At the age of 33 and 34, Nash is determined to start a new chapter in basketball, just like when he first came to the sun three years ago.

In the first half, he participated in the team's offense as an ordinary player. For the first time, he felt that the burden of organizing offense on his body was not so heavy. At the end of the first half, he felt very relaxed. Because of this, at the beginning of the second half, his motivation was slow.

The same was true for Kobe on the opposite side. The Lakers served first in the second half, and Kobe took the ball in the second half. Facing Lagabere's defense, he continued to change backwards, turned his back and made a difficult fallback jumper to help the Lakers overtake the score.

61:60. On the Suns side, the possession of the opening ball returned to Nash's hands. Nash called Stoudemire's pick-and-roll from a high position. It is hard to imagine that this is the second pick-and-roll between Stoudemire and Nash in this game. Nash uses The extremely skilful dribble cut into the three-second zone. He did not speed up, but watched the defender while dribbling the ball. Brown was obviously afraid of Nash's breakthrough, and worried that he would pass the ball to Stoudemire, who would not stand forward. Back and forth.

Fisher rushed around from the side, Nash dribbled the ball sideways and dodged a step, and shot directly from the free throw line! Very calm and steady shot, as easy as a free throw, the ball went into the net hollow and scored two points. The sun led by another point.

At the beginning of the second half, the top players on both sides scored a goal each. During the Lakers' halftime break, Phil Jackson told Kobe that he was required to increase his personal attack, not to open the score in the third quarter, nor to fall behind. Since the sun does not double-team, Kobe will naturally not be polite. In the face of the so-called "Kobe killer" Lagabell, Kobe is not polite, continuously changing to breakthrough under the crotch, and making a very beautiful breakthrough into the sun restricted area. Get up in the air, avoid Stoudemire's block, and make a layup.

Kobe opened the personal offensive mode, the rational section of the first half has disappeared.

But when he turned around, Nash had another pick-and-roll with Stoudemire in the middle. Nash used the rhythm to speed up and swayed Fisher. Brown followed Nash but did not dare to post the ball for fear of him passing. As a result, Nash hit the board with a high throw. Also scored two points.

After the goal, Kobe said to Nash: "Want to score?"

Nash smiled and replied: "I'll be with you anytime."

This is all right. The figure of Xianke completely disappeared from Kobe, and Kobe also saw it. Anyway, the Suns are not defensive. It is time to score in the third quarter. He did not hesitate to score after receiving the ball in the offense. Inside, with his left hand as proficient as his right hand, he completed a left-handed throw on Dior's head and scored two points.

The two teams took the lead alternately. Nash was not to be outdone. After halftime, he first handed over the ball to Dior, then used the cover to go down to the right corner. Dior made a diagonal pass. Nash took the fake shot of the ball to sway Fisher and dribbled the baseline. Smashed in, followed by a horseback archery, scoring two points.

In the first two minutes of the second half, the two of you came and went, each scoring a goal, and the game was very good. The audience at the American Airlines Center were all excited. Although the Suns seemed to have no seven-second offense, but look like this The soaring points are also very enjoyable.

Phil Jackson watched Nash split with Kobe like this, but he didn't understand what medicine Leon Gourd sold. Logically speaking, once the Suns need to rely on Nash to score, they are basically forced to a desperate situation. Like the Mavericks in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals in 2005, he scored 48 points and 5 assists in a single game, and the team lost. game. The most frightening thing about Nash is that he can both score high points and assist teammates. A good way to beat the Suns is to only let him score high points~www.NovelMTL.com~ and not give him the opportunity to drive teammates.

But today, it seems that Nash's score is rising, but the rest of the sun is not completely idle. From a tactical point of view, Nash seems to have become two independent systems with others, which is very incomprehensible.

While the game continued, Kobe and Nash were still performing scoring performances. Kobe showed his gorgeous low-post offensive skills, while Nash used the word "rhythm" to the extreme, with various time differences and fake moves, making a draw. Fisher, who was the same year as Nash, looked like a five-year-old veteran-although he was like a veteran when he entered the league.

And Nash, like Kobe, showed off his left-handed stunts, dribbling, throwing, and layups. He missed a left-handed shot. The entire third quarter became the venue for Nash and Kobe. When Nash shook Fisher's defense a step beyond the three-point line and scored a three-pointer, the score came to 75:71. The Suns actually led the Lakers by 4 points, and Nash occupied the game against Kobe. Advantage? Nash did not end the third quarter, single-handedly scored 13 points, and Kobe scored 10 points-two attacks he began to habitually strike iron.

Jackson had to call a timeout to adjust. To be honest, he couldn't understand Nash and Sun.
