I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 82 Extreme running and bombing, how to solve this problem!
On November 11, night fell.

Phoenix, America West Arena.

At this time, the Suns' home opening game of the 05/06 season was about to be held, the lights were brightly lit, and there was a lot of people.

Alone, or in pairs, or in groups of three or four, fans enter the arena in an orderly manner, look for seats according to the ticket number, and when they see a waiter selling popcorn, they buy a bucket or two to prepare. People who are thirsty and need to drink water will find a stall selling cola soda, buy a few bottles of beer and drink a few sips.

Most of the fans stayed in their seats, watching the game quietly like teenagers.

On the basketball court, a young cheerleader girl dressed in hot and cool clothes, pure in lust, charming and sultry, is dancing passionately, with slender white legs, and the waves on her chest, dancing with her dancing posture, like stars It shines brightly and catches the eye.

For this ball game alone, the ticket price has not been broken, and it has already returned half of the price.

The cheerleaders left the field, and the lights of the American West Arena were turned off.

After bursts of screams, the lights came on, and at some point, the players of the Suns lined up on the field, with their eyes closed, their heads bowed, motionless, like robots with no emotions.

Accompanied by the live DJ voice roll call: Hacker Marion, Brazilian Lightning Barbosa, Zonda Nash, French magician Dior...

The "robots" came back to life one by one, smiling and waving to the fans. Cheers and applause rose and fell like tides.

During the warm-up, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two teams tonight were displayed.

The Suns started with 5 Tigers, Kurt Thomas, Marion, Borisdia, Lagabel, Nash.

Heat starting 5 people, O'Neal, Haslem, Subei, Wade, Jason Williams.

The game was broadcast live by TNT radio station across the United States, and the guest commentators were McBrin and Mav Albert.

"Last season, under the leadership of Nash, the Suns had a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, ranking first in the league in the regular season, while the Heat traded to O'Neal, and formed a 'blind combination' with Wade, with a record of 59 wins and 23 losses. The record is ranked first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league.

The playoffs begin, and the two teams, one with extreme offense and one with both offense and defense, are unanimously favored and will meet in the finals together.

It's just a pity that both teams had injuries that changed the pattern in their respective conference finals.

With a big score of 3 to 2 and two game points in hand, Wade was injured. He couldn't play in the sixth game of Tianshan and was dragged into the seventh game by the Pistons.

Wade returned from injury, but still lost the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Suns were even more unlucky. Joe Johnson was injured in the Western Conference semifinals and could not play in the Western Conference Finals. The Suns were almost swept out by the Spurs.

The league's No. [-] and No. [-] players in the regular season fell short last season, and both fell on the stage of the conference finals. "

"Over the past summer, the management of the two teams have done the same thing, carrying out targeted leak detection and reinforcement work.

The Heat re-signed O'Neal with a big contract, Haslem with a mid-level contract, and traded Jones for the needed Jason Williams and Posey. It has become the biggest favorite of the championship team, not one of them.

Compared with the Heat's contract renewal and reinforcement work, it is smooth and smooth.

The Suns had problems first when it came to renewing players.

Fortunately, the goal of reinforcement is very clear, and the execution is very good. With the three-point king Kunyan Richardson + the 05st pick in 21, he traded with the Knicks and got the 33-year-old interior defensive giant Kurt Thomas. , change the play style of only attacking and not defending..."

"Last season in the Western Conference finals, Stoudemire and Marion took turns being beaten by Duncan, and Kurt Thomas used it to deal with Duncan.

When Kurt Thomas plays power forward and Marion changes back to small forward, the Suns' forward line defense will improve qualitatively.

It's just a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and the Suns' reinforcements are likely to be cold..."

Among them, Joe Johnson's contract renewal work seems very amateurish and small.

Joe Johnson entered the league with the 2001th pick in 10. In the third year of entering the league, he showed his worth and potential. In the 03/04 season, when Nash did not come to the Suns, he averaged 16.7 points per game. 4.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists.

Joe Johnson automatically asked for a 6-year 5000 million contract extension, but the Suns management refused.

In the 04/05 season, Nash joined the Suns. As the team's third overall attacker, Joe Johnson could still score 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

In other words, the big reason why the Suns lost to the Spurs in the playoffs in 03 and 05 was because Joe Johnson's body was too fragile, and he was injured and unable to play in the two playoffs.

The Suns management actually thought this was a reason to narrow down Joe Johnson's contract extension, and only offered 5 million yuan for five years.

Joe Johnson naturally refused to accept it. As a result, the Eagles added 1000 million yuan to the qualification offer contract offered by the Suns. The Suns could only sign Joe Johnson first and then trade it away.

Joe Johnson sent away and got two draft picks + extra player Boris Dior.

The Suns management predicted that Joe Johnson would leave. At the draft, they traded Kurt Thomas, pushed Marion to the swingman position, and signed Lagabel in the free market, which instantly solved the Suns' problem. Two hidden dangers.

The layout of the Suns management, except for letting go of Joe Johnson, is indeed nothing wrong.

It's just that Stoudemire did not expect that Stoudemire injured his knee in October and needed surgery.

Although there is a genius doctor of the Suns, there is no need to be afraid that Stoudemire will be abolished, but the reimbursement for the season cannot be changed.

Stoudemire couldn't play, and Thomas could only play the center position. It was agreed that Marion would return to the small forward position, but after waiting for three years and three years, he was still destined to play power forward.

The small forward can only let Dior, who is not out of the plan, go up, anyway, he can play everything, and his height is also suitable...

The Heat also suffered from injuries, and starting small forward James Posey couldn't play.

Against the extremely fast Suns, O'Neal will definitely not be able to run.

Therefore, the strength and reputation of other starting candidates are really not important, because they are not as good as O'Neal. The only standard is to be able to run, otherwise, the Heat's defense is really unrecognizable.

Antoine Walker can't run, and Shandon Anderson's body can't run either.

Su Bei's speed is good, mainly because he can outperform Walker and Shanton Anderson. In addition, his performance in the last game was really amazing, so we can let him start the game and try to see how it works.

Anyway, try and not get pregnant.

The game is on!

beep-!
The whistle sounded and the referee threw the basketball into the sky.

Kurt Thomas, whose fighting spirit was so high above the sky, jumped up desperately. At first glance, he was only 2 meters tall, with average physical talent, and his fighting spirit could not be eaten.

O'Neal easily beat his opponent and won the first offense for the Heat.

Su Bei stepped forward and rushed forward like a tide. Although Dior was fat, he was not slow to keep up.

Jason Williams took the ball to the frontcourt and found Nash expressionless, actively diving past the close defense.

Play candy defense with me?

To win the MVP of the regular season, you think you are good at everything!

Jason Williams was not used to Nash, and he didn't dodge it, so he had an intimate physical collision.

Bang-!
Nash staggered and continued to move forward. He really worked hard on defense.

Jason Williams continued head-to-head, dribbling one after another, turning around, throwing away a position, and flicking his right hand...

"White Chocolate showed off his passing skills in front of the new MVP Nash, but he didn't play it himself. He sent the basketball to the penalty area, and O'Neal caught the ball with his back to the basket..."

Kurt Thomas put his left hand on his waist and grabbed it hard, but found that it didn't work, so he raised his elbows, sank into his dantian, and defended in a posture of Zhamabu.

O'Neill squeezed with his bigger body and slammed back.

Bang-!
Thomas weighed only 106 kilograms. He felt that he had been hit hard by a strong bison, and his head was buzzing, waiting for him to muster up the courage to continue to hold his ground.

O'Neill has turned around quickly, took a step, jumped up, ignored Marion who was rushing to block the shot, and slammed his hands hard.

boom--!
The whole body is hung on the basket.

Squeak——!
The basket shook a few times, as if shivering.

2 to 0! !
Kurt Thomas, nicknamed "Crazy Eye" and "Dirty Kurt", is a top low-post defensive blue-collar who is not talented enough but uses a hard-working attitude.

His defensive awareness is top-notch, his mind is calm, his skills are solid, and he is full of strength. Against Duncan, Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Garnett...etc., the defensive effect is very good occasionally.

It's just a pity that O'Neill has long passed the skill style of play, and he is fighting for his physical strength talent.

Breaking through all methods with one force, skills are all about strength, no matter what the opponent's skills are, as long as the armor is not thick enough.

One word, he couldn't stop it.

"The Suns' offensive round, Kurt Thomas made a quick shot from the bottom line, Nash rushed up, turned around, and passed Wade's halfway interception..."

"Only 5 seconds passed, and Nash rushed to the frontcourt like a wind. Seeing Su Bei rushing to intercept, he pushed with both hands and passed a ground strike..."

boom--!
After the basketball hit the floor, it bounced into the hands of Lagabel, who cut into the penalty area.

Swish-!
2 to 2! !
"The offensive time of the Suns only took 8 seconds. That's all, there is still room to attack. After one round of offense, O'Neal just passed the middle circle. The offense was too fast.

You are as powerful as a casserole fist, and I am as fast as Xiao Li's flying knife..."

In Su Bei's hands, he had no fists or knives, only soy sauce.

On the court, the Heat attacked the round.

Jason Williams still hoisted the basketball into the penalty area, and Thomas tried his best to interfere, but still failed to prevent O'Neal from receiving the basketball.

"The Suns are short and short, and their mobility is outstanding. Marion and Lagabel rushed to help, and they attacked O'Neal with three people..."

O'Neal used his body to pass the basketball again.

One hit three, it's not that he hasn't played before, and now he is no longer young, he has become a "reasonable shark".

Jason Williams was on the perimeter and played a pick-and-roll with Wade.

"Wade took the handoff pass and got the ball in front of Nash.

Nash was so fast that he crossed to the front of Wade's breakthrough line and was forcibly passed by with his body.

Marion and Lagabel rushed to help defend, Wade pulled the ball up, and threw the basketball out with both hands..."

Bang-!
O'Neal caught the ball from the basket and hit Kurt Thomas' defense. With a bang, he hung his right hand and blasted the basketball into the basket.

4 to 2! !
"It's hitting the penalty area again. The Heat have made it clear that they have been defending the rim against the Suns. If O'Neal is flanked, he will immediately send the ball out and ask Wade to pick Nash on the list..."

Protecting the basket and Nash, two defensive loopholes, the Suns always fail to grasp one.

Off the court, D'Antoni's face was very calm.

Defense counts as a ball!

Defense has always been incidental. The Suns never rely on defense to win. They fight for the ultimate running and bombing offense.

In basketball games, offensive points are counted, not defensive data damage.

As long as the Suns score more points than their opponents, the final result is that the Suns win. As for the game process, if the basket can't be protected, it can't be protected. It's not the crystal tower, can you still steal it?
The important thing is to kill the head!

On the court, Nash was smashed into a sieve, and the basket was blasted to pieces.

The players of the Suns, however, are like eating everyday food.

As long as you work hard on defense, don't worry about the score you get.

Take the ball quickly and devote yourself to the offensive business, which is the truth of winning!

"Marion serves from the baseline, heads down and rushes up.

Nash was cornered, and with Dior's screen, he jumped out again, and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt like a whirlwind..."

bang, bang, bang...

The rhythm changed, Nash suddenly started, changed direction and broke through Jay Williams, Su Bei rushed over, still made a small change in direction, and entered the penalty area.

"Nash flicked his hands and made a no-look pass to the left three-point corner.

Marion catches the ball, jumps up, raises his hand and shoots a [-]-pointer…”

Swish-!
Nash's passing was too comfortable.

Marion made a steady three-pointer.

4 to 5! !
Off the field, Stan Van Gundy looked a little ugly.

What made him ugly was not because the Suns hit a three-pointer, but because O'Neal just rushed to the top arc of the three-point line, and the Suns' offensive round was over again.

As long as the speed is fast enough, there will always be only one opponent in front of you.

If both of them are fast enough...

With Shaquille O'Neal, a fat shark, dragging the Heat back, the Suns' offense will always be in a situation of playing more and playing less. No matter how good your skills are, you will still be unable to defend.

How to solve this problem?
