Chapter 631 The Warriors' Strongest Offensive Team

In the 04-05 season, the NBA experienced huge changes. O’Neal traveled eastward and left the Lakers to join the Heat. McGrady left the Magic and joined the Houston Rockets. On December 12 of the same year, the "McGrady Moment" was staged. Secondly... Steve Nash left Mavericks, join the Phoenix Suns.

However, unlike the two, Nash returned to the starting point. The Phoenix Suns were actually the team that originally selected the white Canadian.Of course, the owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, listened to the medical information of the Mavericks, saying that it was difficult for Nash to play at his peak, so he gave up and let the "Son of the Wind" return to the embrace of the Suns.Everyone knows the following things. Steve Nash, who is over 30 years old, angrily won two MVP trophies, and then led the Suns to directly become the powerful Western Conference during that time.Although he has never won an NBA championship ring, the 3 Western Conference finals are enough to prove his value.

The league "Small Ball Cyclone" also emerged because of this, which had a huge impact on future generations.

And what Tang Qian is going to face now is this Phoenix Suns, which averaged 2004 points in the 2005-110.4 season, ranking first in the league. First, 9.7 wins and 39.3 losses, still the first in the league.Why does a bad team that was 62 wins and 20 losses last season suddenly rise like magic?
All this is because the man named "Son of the Wind" joined.

The 30-year-old white point guard, everyone thought it was downhill, and the Phoenix man was taken advantage of, but Steve Nash, with reality and actions, severely slapped the person who underestimated him.

The ninth consecutive MVP in NBA history, this is Nash's counterattack.

Absolutely tough.

Tang Qian looked at the Suns team and felt a headache for a while, because he knew exactly what his weaknesses were.

Or the weakness of the center position, what is it.

Still the same sentence, no matter how strong the center forward is, it is impossible to defend the outside line. Even if he does, it is an unconventional method, and if a center forward mentions a high position for a long time to defend, it is purely self-defeating martial arts, and will use his true deterrent power throw away.Tang Qian felt a little bit about this last season. He was quite uncomfortable when dealing with the Warriors.

Fortunately, there are not many such teams in the league now, so Tang Qian doesn't need to worry too much about this issue.

Do you really think that one person can handle a game?Even if Kobe had 81 points and Chamberlain had 100 points, the rest of the team must have contributed to the victory.Among other things, it is impossible for one person to defend everyone in basketball.

Adidas had a very famous advertisement back then. I believe everyone still has some impressions: You have been tricked. Whenever I dunk and score 30 or 40 points, do you really think that I did it alone?Seriously buddy, the game is for five people!Believe it or not! ——No brothers, no basketball.This is also a good interpretation of this point.

If you really want to say this and write it like this, one person kills the Quartet to finish the game, one night is enough, maybe it is God possessed, and the number of times is too high, or it is the fantasy basketball he wrote, or he does not understand basketball at all, purely blind. .

So what if you average 50 points per game?So what about averaging 80 points per game?Without teammates to help defend, you can't handle everyone by yourself.This is one of the essence of the game of basketball.

No matter how individual heroism is highlighted, it is still a team sport.

As for the Suns in the 04-05 season, the defense may not be very good, but the offense... is simply the predecessor of the invincible Warriors.

Terrible.

And they can rely on outside shots to take away the game directly.

This is something that was impossible to imagine in traditional basketball before.

Tang Qian sorted out the main lineup with some worry, PG Kidd, SG Ray Allen, SF Paul George, PF Jordan Hill, C Tang Qian.What about the Phoenix Suns? PG Steve Nash SG Quentin Richardson SF Joe Johnson PF Sean Marion C Amare Stoudemire.And on the bench of the Suns, there are Jim Jackson, Barbosa and several other bench gangsters. Under the help of the team's No. 1 Steve Nash, they all exploded with super scoring ability.

You said that the intensity of the playoffs has increased, so they can't do it? NONONO~Looking at the statistics, you can see that the Suns only scored about 110 points in the regular season. In the playoffs, the team's scoring average directly rose to 112 points per game, which is stronger than the regular season.In the 04-05 season, when the league's playoffs were still between 80 and 90 points, it was simply the best.

Just looking at the score, the Warriors in the 15-16 season couldn't beat them.

Although the Warriors averaged as high as 114.9 points per game in the regular season, they dropped to around 107 points in the playoffs. Therefore, the average of 112 points per game in the playoffs is terrible.In fact, this level of firepower has never been achieved by the Suns. In the 04-05 season, it can be said to have reached its peak.

Who is the next team to surpass it?It is the Super Golden State Warriors in the 16-17 season, but looking at the team configuration of that Warriors team, the Suns are completely incomparable with it.

Before 2017, the strongest scoring team in traditional basketball, the Phoenix Suns in the 04-05 season... This put unprecedented pressure on Tang Qian.

Even that year, many people were predicting the showdown between "The Strongest Spear" and "The Strongest Shield" in the finals.

Tang Qian thought that he paid enough attention to his opponent, but after the game started, he realized that he still underestimated the opponent!

At halftime 77-59, they fell behind the Suns by nearly 20 points.In fact, Tang Qian felt that his offense was not bad. Nearly 60 points in the halftime was already very high, but...you can't hold back the Suns' crazy offense and crazy goals.

Their defense is indeed not very good, but their offense... is like a bomb!
Gun weapons can no longer describe them!
And this is also Tang Qian's first experience of what is called "Peak Nash". This feels like two completely different people from Steve Nash in the 12-13 season.Kidd's passing ability at the peak has already made him feel terrible, but the white Canadian in front of him... can only be described as breathtaking.

Thinking about it, he is also a player who is not good in body and defends the ordinary No. 1 player. He wants to be the MVP of the game. If it is not because of his superb ability, how can he do it?Do you think other people in the league are noobs?

Because of the failure of guessing the coin, the Tang Qian team lost their home court advantage. In the away game of the Suns, it is difficult for you to exert too much oppressive defense on them.After all, Hand-Checking has been completely banned in the 04-05 season, so controlling Nash's breakthroughs and pick-and-rolls has become increasingly difficult.

Then, there is another very important point, that is, the substitute of Tang Qian's team is too rubbish.

They are all "water dispenser" roles, which are unusable, but what about the Suns?Jim Jackson averaged 11+ points per game in the playoffs this season.And the most frightening thing is that this is the second-best playoff trip of Jim Jackson's career. You can understand by looking at a simple statistic, the three-point shooting percentage is 51.6%!And it's still based on 4+ shots!It's not a small probability shot!The overall shooting percentage is close to 49%! This performance has been maintained for 15 games!

Nash's improvement of players is really great, which allows ordinary players to bloom in his hands.

During the bench time, the Suns played a 21-4 spurt, which directly changed the trend of the game.

Tang Qian strengthened his defense and rebounding in the second half, but the usefulness was not obvious, because the game felt overwhelming and he didn't need many opportunities to attack the inside.It was another one-sided halftime situation, and the Tang Qian team defeated the Phoenix Suns by 109-131 with 22 points.

Do you think 109 points is high?Already very high!However, he got 131 points!

Eight of the Suns made double figures, which is tantamount to full bloom and full power. Before Nash and Stoudemire played much, the team shot Tang Qian's team.

Tang Qian scored 16 points, 17 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists in the whole game, which is already very good, and you can't ask for anything more.The low-intensity defense of the Suns also allowed Tang Qian to score a lot of points. However, if he lost the game, the data was worthless.Because this is not the real world, only winning is useful.

On the second day of rest, Tang Qian felt the faint depression in the atmosphere of the whole team, because they did not find a way to deal with the Suns.

In the second game, the Suns did not have the feel of the first game. The overall shooting percentage returned to normal levels, and Tang Qian's team's defense also improved to a higher level.However, it still allowed the opponent to score 55 points in the half, shooting more than 49% from the field.Tang Qian swears that he has tried his best to control every rebound. He has almost never missed a low defensive rebound. It can be said that the rebounding end has completely suppressed the opponent Amare Stoudemire.But they relied on three-pointers and high shooting percentages, making it seem like Tang Qian's team didn't try their best to defend.

The team shot more than 49 percent in the half?If this is an inside-oriented team, it's fine, but the opponent is obviously an outside-attacking team?Why doesn't Tang Qian feel depressed?
In the case of losing to the opponent in rebounds, the Suns still took a half-time lead by relying on a high shooting percentage, 55-52, and entered the locker room with a 3-point advantage.

no!Can't be like this!Tang Qian stood up in the locker room and said: "We need to strengthen the defense, and then increase the attack hit rate!" Hearing that, Jordan Hill said: "But hot, how should we strengthen the defense, and how to increase the attack hit rate?"

Jordan Hill's question made Tang Qian speechless. Not to mention defense, just attack and increase the attack hit rate. What is the best way?The best way is to attack the inside, and attack from the inside... But the two main inside players of Tang Qian's team, Tang Qian and Jordan Hill, are both half-baked in offense, and usually follow up, cut, and off the ball. , You expect the two of them to take the initiative to attack in the low post, and their scoring ability is too poor.

Just like Jordan, he is also a physical monster. He is tall, tall, physically gifted, and absolutely superior in history, but what is the use of that?You expect Jordan to take the initiative to attack?When is the main point of attack?Then unless your brain is pumped, it's almost the same.

Yes, Jordan has a super high shooting percentage, more than 60% in the early stage of his career, but what about the later stage of his career?It even soared to more than 70%!What is this concept?In the field of basketball, this is almost a level that every shot must be scored!But which head coach have you ever seen let Jordan increase his shots and become the main scorer?There is only one reason, DeAndre Jordan, his high hits are all based on "opportunity shots", and they are also "inside chance shots", so he can achieve this abnormal hit rate.But if you want him to increase his shots, attack independently, and break this "opportunity shot system", then not much else, whether a 40% shooting percentage can be guaranteed is a problem.And it must be that the more shots, the lower the hit rate.

Tang Qian is also similar now, regardless of his high shooting percentage, they are all around 50-60%, but they are all "opportunity shots", you let him attack independently, or "non-opportunity shots", there is only one end.Not to mention the plummeting hit rate, it is easy to block others.

Do you really think you can dunk every offensive rebound?Wouldn't Jordan be super god like that?

In fact, it is easy to be targeted by direct dunks on offensive rebounds. One or two in a game will attract the attention of the opponent, and you will not be allowed to shoot easily.And once you are targeted, even your peak O'Neill can only make every ball in the highlights.Play a little more in the official game, and you will know how difficult the second attack is. Every time you score a goal, the opponent's defensive attention will be more focused.

No one in NBA history can do it.

Tang Qian is the same now. His off-ball offensive ability has indeed been developed, but the proportion of assists is extremely high. Without someone to deliver the shells, he can't do anything.It doesn't mean that if you want to increase your shots, you should increase your shots.The ability to attack independently is Tang Qian's current offensive shortcomings and flaws.As for Jordan Hill, he has one more mid-range shot than Tang Qian, but his timing is not working well. As soon as the opponent's defensive strength increases, he immediately "loses the bag".

And to deal with this Suns team, the best two ways are two, one is to force the opponent into a positional battle, and the other is to control Steve Nash.

The second point is almost impossible. Do you really think that Lianzhuang MVP is so easy to be held down at his peak? Position 1 doesn't pay attention to singles and hard hits at all, and cuts in pick-and-rolls all the way, what can you do?A team that is familiar with defending pick-and-rolls can never handle it alone.

It doesn't matter who comes.

As for the first point, forcing the opponent into a positional battle, the Tang Qian team is now... the inside line is very embarrassing, with almost no independent offensive ability, so even if they enter a positional battle, they still have to rely on outside players to score. "Exactly" this season, Kidd's three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs was only 18.9%, a new low in his career, so from a distance, he can be regarded as "abandoned".

Only Ray Allen and Paul George can "hard on".

But in fact, there is another most important point, which Tang Qian didn't think of now.
