After the start of the new season, the Lakers performed well, defeating the Nuggets and the Warriors successively, and their opponent in the third game was the Phoenix Suns, which also won two consecutive victories.Returning to Phoenix, he came to the familiar American West Arena. During pre-match training, Ke Yan also came near the center line to talk to his old friend D'Antoni.

"Actually last season, we lacked a guard like Nash in our system. You really shouldn't have left~" D'Antoni regretted Ke Yan's departure.

This young man is very talented, and D'Antoni absolutely believes that if he stays in the team, he must be his right hand. Maybe the Suns' offense, which already has a full score, can go a step further.

"I believe of course I know that the Suns are in a better situation this season, but I think of a team that I can play better. Mike, I think it's good for me to be your opponent~" Slapped D'Antoni twice, Ke Yan returned to the Lakers bench with a smile.

In the Suns, players such as Stoudemire, Marion, and Joe Johnson have all cooperated with Ke Yan. Even during the process of the Suns introducing Nash, Ke Yan also had a conversation with him and described the future of the Suns to him. .It's a pity that Ke Yan was poached to the Lakers before he had time to work together. Speaking of it, Nash also felt a little pity.

Ke Yan's tactical thinking is closer to Nash's mentor Nelson, and Nash likes to work with such a coach.

Since both the Lakers and the Suns have won two consecutive victories, and their respective leaders Kobe and Nash have very good statistics, so in this game, whoever wins three consecutive victories is very likely to win the first week of the season. This is also the biggest highlight of this game.

For the purpose of maintaining the stability of the team, Tomjanovich still put Grant in the starting list, but he only played a false starting position. In the past two games, Tomjanovich used it most often in the game. The lineup has gradually transitioned to Atkins, Kobe, Butler, Odom, and Anderson, who Ke Yan advocated.Ke Yan has initially reversed Tomjanovich's thinking.Tomjanovich is basically waiting for a suitable opportunity to promote Butler to the team's starting lineup.

Anderson and Stoudemire stood on both sides of the referee. Although the game had not yet started, the tense atmosphere was already on the verge of breaking out. The two pairs of burning eyes were staring at the basketball in the referee's hands. As long as the whistle sounds together, the two of them will rush out like a cheetah.

As the orange basketball gradually rose, Anderson and Stoudemire jumped up. Both of them had top jumping in the league and were winners in most of the jump ball competitions.

Stoudemire dialed the basketball first. After Joe Johnson grabbed the basketball, he quickly passed it to Nash. He went straight into the Lakers half court at the first time. At this time, the Lakers players had not reacted, and even Kobe was behind He took the next step and watched Joe Johnson pick the basket and score.

Kobe held the ball from the outside, Marion let him take a step, on the surface it is not a shot, but if you really want to shoot from the outside, Marion's long arms and bullet speed can really block you, the All-Star in 03 In the game, with Jordan's fatal blow, Marion's defense reached the limit, but the muscle memory formed by the leader over the years helped him to shoot the ball without seeing the basket at all.

Kobe leaned on Marion with his back, turned around and passed Marion flexibly, forcibly suppressed the opponent to the bottom line, and then passed the ball to Odom who went around the wing. Odom Yang, who was encouraged by Ke Yan to try to shoot from the outside, made a hand shot With a three-point shot, Anderson unexpectedly went around in front of Stoudemire and grabbed an offensive rebound. He wanted to be assigned to the outside line to reorganize immediately, but found that Stoudemire did not post it. Direct layup, although not scored, but caused Stoudemire's foul.

Anderson keenly grasped the shortcomings of Stoudemire's bad defensive habits, and decisively attacked and caused the opponent's defensive foul. This kind of calmness even Ke Yan did not expect.He was about to praise him later, but under the pressure of the away fans, Anderson missed two free throws.Marion protected the backcourt rebounds and immediately promoted the offensive and defensive transition. Nash and Joe Johnson quickly opened up on both sides. Marion stepped into the three-second zone of the Lakers and suppressed Odom and Anderson before passing back. , Quentin Richardson received the ball at the top of the arc, clicked, and easily hit a three-pointer. (5:0)

The Lakers attacked, Kobe did not force a breakthrough, but after holding back the Suns' release, he gave the ball to Odom. The latter made a feint, broke through Joe Johnson's defense, hit a mid-range jumper, and helped the Lakers break the ball . (5:2)

The Suns attacked, and Nash used Stoudemire's pick-and-roll to break into the penalty area. He strolled around the garden under the Lakers basket. One person took the ball and the nine were nervous. The player's three-pointer missed, Stoudemire forcibly took off the rebound, leaned against Anderson, and rose from the ground to complete the dunk.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant received the ball from the horns and singled Marion with his back. With a slight bend of his left elbow, he resisted Marion, opened the distance between the two, easily took off and hit a jumper.

Taking advantage of the Lakers' unsteady foothold, the Suns launched a blitz again. Serving from the baseline, Nash caught the ball and advanced it to Marion in the frontcourt. Marion forced his way into the basket and caused Kobe to foul. In five seconds, the Suns The team's offense is so hard to defend.

On the bench for the Lakers, Ke Yan also called Butler immediately, and seized the time to teach the opportunity face-to-face. The Lakers attacked in the next round. After Joe Johnson destroyed the ball in Kobe's hand out of the sideline, the Lakers replaced him with Butler. A mediocre Grant.

Odom served from the sideline, using Kobe and Butler's containment force on the outside to directly reverse the basket, Anderson leaped into the air, overwhelmed Stoudemire and completed an alley-oop dunk, responding to Stoudemire's dunk just now .

The Lakers played by the Suns blitz was quite uncomfortable, and the Lakers also seized the opportunity to pay back one of their opponents!

It's not over yet, Stoudemire's careless baseline serve was intercepted by Butler, who was already prepared. The latter kicked in two steps and rose into the air to meet Stoudemire, who came up to defend. Intending to dunk, Stoudemire fell to the ground by the mentally unbalanced Stoudemire.

This ball can be punished as a second-level malicious foul. On the Lakers side, Kobe immediately rushed forward and pushed Stoudemire, and other teammates immediately surrounded him.And the Lakers' bench is also full of enthusiasm, they all eat basketball, there is no need to engage in such disgusting actions to smash people's jobs.

The referee team and other staff immediately controlled the emotions of both sides. The referee whistled Stoudemire for a first-level malicious foul, giving the Lakers a chance to make two free throws.After Butler was checked by the team doctor, it was determined that there was nothing serious. When he returned to the court, his physical fitness was indeed abnormal.
