Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 470: [The toughest black hole, gambler who loses red eyes]

? On April 17, the Suns vs. Rockets first battle will be held in Phoenix.

The Suns finalized the final playoff 13-man roster, veteran Tom Gugliotta was excluded, there are too many inside players, you don't need him. The coaching staff brought James Jones, who has been a marginal player, throughout the season, preparing to play for a while in garbage time and accumulate experience.

Gugliotta decided to retire after the end of the season. He has no comments on the arrangement of the coaching staff. He has long been impressed. There is no need to show his face in the playoffs.

In recent years, as the highest-paid player of the team, the sun has been very miserable. Local fans often say that if he gives his contract to a second-rate star, the Suns will be invincible this season.

Before the start of the game, basketball experts from various media predicted the victory and defeat, all optimistic about the Suns promotion.

The few people who are optimistic about the Rockets winning one or two games say that the key to the Rockets' victory is coach Jeff Van Gundy. He is more experienced than Mike D'Antoni and has won widespread praise in the Knicks. The two head coaches The gap in ability is bound to be the key to determining victory or defeat.

"Van Gundy, who has experience in the finals, has maximized the potential of the Rockets. He said in an interview that he thinks of ways to deal with the Sun's tactics." Houston media touted Van Gundy. "He let everyone find their job, and the players' task is just to do their job well."

In the NBA, whether judging players or coaches, the most intuitive criterion is the record. Van Gundy has reached the finals, D'Antoni has only entered the Western Conference, it's that simple.

As a result, after the game started, the Rockets failed to prevent running and hurling, and Guo Xu was mistreated.

The Suns started with two towers, Stoudemire and Nene partnered inside, Marion small forward, Bell guard, strengthened the defense.

Sun position warfare mainly, not strong attacking the basket, Stoudemire, Nene to cover the teammates in the middle and on both sides, Guo Xu holding the ball looking for a misplaced singles opportunity, break or split the ball to the running Bell, the latter catch Shot.

The main tactic of the Sun is to use the mobility to withdraw Yao Ming and Cato from the penalty area. They will take action if they have the opportunity to prevent the outside and prevent two super-qualified inside cuts from hitting the basket.

Nene ’s state in joining the Sun has remained very good, with no major injuries. His average playing time is no more than 25 minutes per game, and his chances of becoming a glass man in the future will be greatly reduced. Needless to say, Stoudemire is recognized as one of the league's fastest insiders.

In the first quarter, the sun led, and in the second quarter, Joe Johnson took the bench and was responsible for organizing with Blake. The offense was also organized. Defensively, Howard, Nene and Haslem performed well.

In the last ten games of the regular season, D'Antoni has always let Joe Johnson as the sixth man, so that he can better play his offensive power and can be responsible for singles with the ball. Blake just passed the ball through the halftime, waiting for the ball to shoot and defend, the pressure was greatly reduced.

In the third quarter, the sun led 28 minutes into garbage time, and the starters all got off work early.

Young substitutes Diop, Jones, Howard, and Blake are on the field. The only veteran to play is Kukoc. His task is to help his teammates create opportunities, and he can also play inside tactics to help Blake share organizational pressure.

Entering the playoffs, Swinger Kirisek was abandoned, he will know everything and nothing, and will definitely go after the season. The coaching staff needs time to train newcomers. It is impossible to brush the data for potential substitutes. As for what contracts he can sign in the future, it depends on the ability of the agent.

After the Sun sent a meat shield to strengthen the defense of the penalty area, the Rockets' offense was a mess.

The Rockets' point guard, Much Norris, had a good breakthrough and could pick the ball off the pick and roll, but the Rockets traded it to the Knicks in the mid-term and replaced the retired veteran Mark Jackson.

Van Gundy picked Jackson and thought that the veteran who walked and played better than Norris could help the team and organize the offense with rich experience. However, this is impossible. How can a defender who can't break through and pass the ball after halftime drive his teammates? Besides, he hasn't made three points yet?

As early as the 1990s when Van Gundy was an assistant in the Knicks, he formed a deep friendship with Jackson, which laid a good foundation for the two to become commentary partners in ESPN in the future. The price of friendship is that the Rockets don't even have a qualified backup point guard.

The final score was 108 to 71, and the Suns had a 37-point victory.

Guo Xu played 30 minutes, scored 33 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. Six Suns scored in double figures.

Francis, Mobley, and Jim Jackson played crazy, and the two men shot less than 40%. Yao Mingkong had the advantage but could not catch the ball. He only made 9 shots in 37 minutes, hit 4 of them, plus two free throws, and got 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.

After the game, the reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate the Rockets. Guo Xu spoke his mind this time. "I feel that the Rockets' tactics are very strange, yes, I think of such an adjective. Every time I play the Rockets, I see Cato and Yao Ming playing together, the two positions overlap on the defensive end, the offensive end ... not to mention, It's too offending. In short, the Rockets have fewer personal attacks. Let's guess who it is. "

He said that he couldn't bear to see the American media always blowing Cato defensively and protecting Yao Ming. Just because Cato was a native American center, he was touted as a "tough" representative, but he was clearly a burden on the offensive end.

Guo Xu dared to go anti-carto when he was misplaced. This product has no technology. The face frame dribble can smash his own foot. Guo Xu can wait for the opportunity to steal the ball without worrying about his breakthrough. He also had no range, and the periphery was empty. The only way to score was to hit the rim down after the pick-and-roll. There was also a low post to turn the ball back to the opponent and wipe it into the rim.

Cato is Diop with a slightly stronger desire to attack. Only when he defends against O'Neill and Duncan can he play some role. His strength can resist people and he is not afraid of a strong attack from low post. The problem is that Yao Ming is also defensive, because Cato is there, Yao Ming often has to prevent the pick-and-roll.

After the game, Guo Xu's words won the approval and support of many Chinese fans. They certainly hope that Yao Ming will get more ball rights. If Cato is gone, he may have more rebounds.

The second battle continued in Phoenix. Guo Xu ’s words did not change Fan Gandi ’s ideas. He firmly believed that sending the two towers was the best way to deal with the sun. The difference was that Cato was to prevent the pick-and-roll.

The Rockets lose the game exactly the same as they did on the field. The Sun keeps playing pick-and-roll and flanking without ball shielding. Guo Xu has an emergency stop jumper and a ball to break through the ball. The teammates can catch the ball or hit the counterattack. The shooting rate is also guaranteed. .

This time Cato only played 16 minutes and left 6 offenses, scoring 2 points and 2 rebounds. He was "tough" and he couldn't prevent Guo Xu's breakthrough, nor could he prevent Stoudemire's CIC. The restricted area allows him to play his special skills.

The Suns exploded on the Rockets with only one 3-pointer shot. Www.wuxiaspot.com ~ 15 of 33 shots and 3 of 10 Rockets shots.

116-84 at the end of the game, the Suns win 32 points, the total score 2-0 lead.

Guo Xu deliberately rushed Cato to this point, and even the pseudo fans saw that the Rockets had problems with the formation of the platoon. As a result, the Rockets returned to the third game at home, Van Gundy still sent two towers to start, did not adjust the lineup.

He is such a rigid coach, no one can change his mind.

Most of the time he frowned on the sidelines, stood and watched the ball, his expression was like a gambler with red eyes.

I ca n’t believe it, and I ca n’t win. Big! Big!

At the end of the game, Van Gundy lost his soul and lost his eyes.

I'm fucking, I really can't win.
