The rise of basketball legends

The Rockets tried to counterattack in the second half of the third quarter. McGrady assisted Alston and Battier to hit three-pointers one after another.

However, their counter-offensive momentum was quickly suppressed by Nash. Nash's precise outside shooting and fast breaks ensured the Suns' lead.

In this quarter, the Suns scored 29 points and the Rockets scored 2 points.

The Phoenix Suns entered the final quarter with a 79-66 lead of 13 points.

After three quarters, they fell behind by 13 points. Such a difference has basically given the Rockets a death sentence.

The Rockets are a typical team that can only play with the wind. They often lead in the first three quarters and suddenly fall behind inexplicably in the fourth quarter, let alone falling behind in the first three quarters.

According to statistics, he has fallen behind his opponent in the fourth quarter of 13 games before and failed to win.

Sure enough, the Rockets' old habit of collapsing in the fourth quarter recurred. They only hit a poor 8 of their first 2 shots in the final quarter, and one of them was Chuck Hayesmon's.

Adelman has something. His tactical quality is much better than that bald man Van Gundy, especially on the offensive end. Princeton tactics allow every player to participate in the offense. There are only two tactics, hand the ball to Yao or Mai.

The arrival of Adelman made the Rockets look more organized on the offensive end, but some things cannot be solved by tactics, such as physical strength.

The reason why the Rockets are often weak in the fourth quarter has a lot to do with the physical fitness of the two leading stars.

Needless to say, Dayao, with a height of 226cm and a weight of close to 300KG, every step is a huge consumption, especially in this kind of game tonight when he is running around the field with the sun, this kind of back-and-forth impact consumes a lot of heavy insiders. huge.

And it’s no secret that McGrady’s physical strength is not good. As a basketball player, his static and dynamic talents are definitely at the historical level, but his endurance is very touching. During the Magic period, McGrady scored 52 points in three quarters against the Wizards. In the final quarter, his teammates wanted him to score a high score, but he couldn't keep up with his physical strength, and his shots were crazy, and he couldn't even guarantee his free throw percentage.

It can be seen that even scoring points is a physical activity.

On the Sun side, the XJB play mode is turned on!

Suns coach D'Antoni didn't arrange any tactics. He only asked his players, fast.

Facts have proved that this style of play is really effective for the Rockets. After a wave of offensive climax, Adelman had no choice but to call out a timeout.

After the timeout, the Rockets situation still did not improve.

Seeing that the leading advantage is getting bigger and bigger, Chen Yan starts to release water on the defensive end. If he is not able to prevent sudden shots, he will quickly counterattack when he has the opportunity. Currently, Chen Yan's statistics are 34 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. With such attention Everyone has selfishness in playing football, and Chen Yan also wants to make his statistics in this Chinese Derby look better.

"List!"

With Dior yelling after taking off the rebound, the Suns' blitz began again!

With a long pass, Dior accurately found Chen Yan who was rushing to the frontcourt.

This long pass is a passing technique that Dior is very good at.

Two steps outside the three-point line to catch the ball, facing Battier's candy-like defense, Chen Yan leaned over and accelerated in two stages!

During the process, Chen Yan suddenly made an emergency stop.

The moment he received the ball, Battier flew out like diving!

Speeding up and rushing to an emergency stop to pull back, this has gradually become one of Chen Yan's signature moves.

Battier's footwork is very solid, and he rarely loses position, but this ball obviously has nothing to do with defensive footwork. If Battier doesn't follow up with all his strength, Chen Yan can easily shake off him and attack the basket. If Chen Yan keeps up with full speed, he can Use quick stops or footstep changes to deal with him.

This is the most difficult part of Chen Yan's defense in the fast break. Battier defended the whole game without finding a way to limit him.

Without a pause, Chen Yan shot directly from outside the three-point line!

At this time, Battier was three positions away and could not form effective interference. The only thing he could do was to watch the trajectory of the basketball and pray that the ball would be a little crooked.

"Shh!"

Obviously Battier's prayer was not fulfilled, and the Nets hit the net in response, splashing water!

"The emergency stop three-pointer in transition, the shot is really resolute!" Director Xu said.

"Although this ball is a three-pointer in a fast break, it is a very reasonable shot. Before the shot, Chen Yan used an emergency stop to completely shake Battier away, creating enough room for himself to shoot." Zhang Weiping's theory and coming.

After the ball was scored, the Rockets also sent quickly.

Under the influence of the sun, the rocket's conversion rhythm has also accelerated.

Dayao had just settled down, and McGrady shot a three-pointer with a 'whoosh'!

"Bang!"

Hitting the front of the basket with a low arc, this is the case for almost all of McGrady's strikes.

After Stoudemire grabbed the rebound, he didn't pass it to Nash beside him. Instead, he sent a long pass across the Pacific to Chen Yan!

With the ever-expanding lead, Stoudemire also played, showing off a long pass.

However, Stoudemire's long pass is obviously not at the same level as Dior's. The advance of the ball is almost to the bottom line...

Fortunately, Chen Yan's speed and stamina are both online. After sprinting away from Battier and Alstom in a ten-meter sprint, he got the ball from the limit distance and turned around to buckle with one hand!

Xiao Si rushed over excitedly and had a passionate chest bump with Chen Yan. Judging by his expression, he probably felt that his pass was pretty good...

The Rockets allowed the Suns to play easy counterattacks continuously when their physical fitness was declining, and the pattern of each counterattack was the same. A long pass found Chen Yan in the frontcourt, and the time spent in each round was maintained at about 3 seconds!

This style of play makes the fans very excited. This is an era of positional battles and defenses. Small ball attacks like the Suns stimulate the visual nerves of the fans.

As Su Qun said in the studio:

"No one would dislike the offensive style of the Suns!"

Well-known NBA reporter Jackie McMullan published a book called "2006 Seconds or Less" in 7, which tells the history of the Suns in the 2005-06 season.

At this moment, Jackie McMullan was also watching the Chinese derby in front of the TV.

After watching Chen Yan's attacks these few rounds, he felt that he should change the name of his book to "Three Seconds or Less".

Adelman had no choice but to call a timeout again. Now that the point difference between the two sides has reached 20 points, this timeout is more like a symbolic meaning.

Dayao was panting on the bench. He hadn't touched the ball in four rounds. He didn't understand the significance of Adelman sending him on the court. Running back and forth to help him exercise his physical fitness?

Adelman's Princeton tactics pursue a large number of air cuts, reverse runs, and constantly share the ball to create open shooting opportunities.

Because Princeton's offense requires a very flexible inside line, obviously this is not the characteristic of Dayao after gaining weight.

If Dayao, who just entered the league in 2002, is handed over to Adelman, maybe he can create a top inside supporter in the league.

But now Dayao is used to appearing as a traditional core center. He needs to find opportunities in the slow-paced positional warfare, and at the same time needs a patient and experienced defender to pass the ball to him.

But Adelman's philosophy requires Dayao to make a huge change, and this kind of change will not be able to adapt in a short time.

Back from the timeout, Dayao was replaced after running back and forth for nearly 3 minutes.

Colleagues from both sides withdrew their main players and announced that the game had officially entered garbage time.

Dayao's face was not very good when he left the field, and when he returned to the bench to receive the towel handed by the assistant coach, he finally couldn't help but exploded!

Dayao, who has always had a good temper, threw the towel on the floor angrily, thus venting his dissatisfaction and aggrieved heart tonight!

This scene was also captured by the camera.

The three CCTV commentators were also merciless, bluntly saying that there was a problem with Adelman's tactical arrangements.

"Adelman's arrangement today is very problematic, especially in the fourth quarter. He is completely led by the sun. It is almost the style of the sun. Why are you running after him? Isn't this jumping into the fire pit by yourself? "

"Dayao shouldn't use it like this. When you have such a super insider, you should hit the ball more, instead of letting him follow the team aimlessly."

"The Rockets have such a problem. Adelman's deployment is only one aspect. The Rockets' players are hot-headed on the court. On the whole, the Rockets are still unstable. There is still a long way to go before they become a real strong team.. ...."

Among the denunciations of the three narrators, the garbage time quickly ended.
