Standing pretty old

Chapter 537

"The Hawks have only one guy in the game, Kraft Nguyen, and they've been terrible in Phoenix.

Counting from the 85-86 season, the two teams played a total of 22 games in Phoenix, and the Hawks only won 4 of them.

The Atlantans never had an advantage in the desert. ” Mike Breen concluded when looking at the historical data.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "History is not the most important thing. Now the Eagles are at their peak, and the Suns have a record of 21 wins and 13 losses this season.

Although they are still strong in the Western Conference, they are far from the omnipotent running and bombing team. In terms of facts, the other players of the Eagles played too badly, and they dragged Kraft Nguyen back. "

Mark Jackson said, "I don't quite agree with that.

Kraft Nguyen paid too much attention to the confrontation with O'Neal in the first quarter, and to a certain extent ignored the connection with his teammates. The overall offense of the Hawks is not smooth, and more is in individual singles. I think this is why the Hawks fell behind in the first quarter. the real reason. "

Van Gundy Jr. retorted: "Is it because the teammates feel bad and still have to hand over the ball? If you do this, the Eagles will only fall behind even more. I think the Chinese people have no problem doing it."

……

On ESPN's commentary, it is natural to argue without any restrictions, but on the basketball court, a team must have and only one center.

Ruan Erniu said to his teammates: "Forget the first quarter, there is no problem with our game rhythm.

The bad touch is only temporary. We need to do better on the defensive end and continue to put pressure on the opponent.

I repeat again, there is no need to double-team O'Neal, I can handle him alone, and must block the scoring of other Suns players. "

Speaking of this, Ruan Erniu subconsciously glanced at the moon eclipse. Among these people, the most worrying thing for him was the confrontation between the moon eclipse and Xidi (Little S, Amare Stoudamire) , Xidi's face basket offense is quite good, once the moon eclipse head heats up, but no one can help him fill the position.

Er Niu has already focused more on defending O'Neill, and really can't spare much energy to defend Xi Di.

The game in the second quarter continued as usual, and the two teams sent substitute players to play.

Dragic sprained his ankle, so Ronald Murray got more playing time.

The "President" held the ball from the outside, and first sent the ball to Jon Jonson, who broke through and scored the ball, and the ball returned to Murray.

Tonight, Jiongsen's touch is mediocre, and he doesn't even have a strong desire to attack. I don't know if the familiar Phoenix City prevents him from showing a 100% competitive state.

Murray sped past Samba Lightning-Barbosa's defense, then pulled out from 17 feet and hit a mid-range shot.

The Suns missed a shot, and Birdman grabbed the backcourt rebound and made a straight pass to the court. Murray, taking advantage of Dudley's unsteady footing when he switched to him, accelerated past his opponent, and then made a 20-point shot from about 2 feet away. Return!

……

Ronald Murray scored consecutive goals and made 4 of 4 shots in a short period of time, instantly narrowing the gap.

If Barbosa hadn't made 3 of 2 shots from beyond the three-point line, the Hawks would have overtaken the score.

For a player like Murray, the highlight moment is very short. If the claw machine is not injured, it will be quite difficult for the president to get even a little playing time under the hands of the physical madman Jon Jonson.

Fortunately, he finally didn't miss this opportunity. With Jon Jonsen's lack of strong desire to make a shot, Murray ushered in an explosion in this quarter.

The game continued, and the two teams entered their normal rotation time. Er Niu once again ushered in a chance to confront O'Neal.

On the offensive end of the Suns, the Sharks held the ball in a low position and raised their P stock to try to take the bull by force.

"Bang!", "Bang!"...

Er Niu learned to be smart. He didn't insist on competing with O'Neill in strength. Under the strong confrontation, he suddenly withdrew.

O'Neill fell on all fours, and the basketball was cut off by Er Niu immediately and sent to Asi* Lao.

Asi held the ball across the half court, and Ruan Erniu caught the ball near the free throw line. Within 0.5 seconds after receiving the ball, Erniu threw the ball high.

It's a lunar eclipse!
He threw off Xi Di's defense and flew into the air. After catching the ball with both hands, he completed a ferocious dunk.

After falling, Lunar Eclipse made a flying gesture quite arrogantly, and in the process of retreating, he collided with Xidi. Under the frequent physical contact between the two, it was inevitable that some swear words were in their mouths. The scene was very tense at one point, but fortunately the referee and teammates pulled the two away in time.

After watching the video replay, the referee each gave them a T. After the two teams executed free throws, the game continued.

It was the Eagles' defensive end and the low post again. Er Niu suddenly took a risk and rushed forward, cutting off Nash's pass to O'Neal.

And all the way to the front court with the ball, a CROSSOVER, dodged Grant Hill's supplementary defense, entered the penalty area in two steps, jumped high, and dunked successfully in the counterattack.

"You're getting old!" Er Niu returned to defense, but at the same time did not forget to verbally attack O'Neill.

Famous generals have always been like beauties, and heroes are not allowed to see their gray hair.

Ruan Erniu did not let go of the opportunity to taunt his opponent, even if the opponent in front of him was a top 50 superstar, he may have been the most dominant insider in the world, the only cornerstone of the team in history, the legendary "Joe Chosen Joe, no Joe picks sharks"!
In the subsequent offensive round of the Suns, Erniu's statement seemed to be verified.

After the big shark made a low request, he leaned on Er Niu's hook shot and hit the iron!
Ruan Erniu got the rebound from the backcourt and immediately made a long pass to the frontcourt. Salmons was chasing a three-pointer to help the Hawks overtake the score.

The eagle is picking up speed, but the sun is not getting up!
Nash's average assist data this season has dropped from 11.1 last season to 9.7. When Nash is partnered with a player with first-class finishing ability and who needs to dominate the ball, the assist data will definitely be affected.

The most important thing is that the sun's momentum like a rainbow can't be played, which puts Nash in a very embarrassing state.

Fans who have watched the Suns game know that Nash is the kind of player who can exert his greatest power in a small ball state.

O'Neal kept saying last season that he wanted to keep up with the speed of the Suns, but this season, it has completely become the rhythm of the Suns adapting to him.

To some extent, this can be seen as a manifestation of Sharks' dominance. Even at the end of his career, he can still form a system with him as the core.

But from another perspective, this is also a kind of harm to the Suns themselves.

Sharks are no longer young, and his threat in the low post is far less than before, and Phoenix itself has lost their advantage in running and bombing. team.

Such a team may be able to win some exciting games in the regular season, but on the road to winning the championship, such a lineup is undoubtedly self-defeating.

33:19，鹰队第二节就赢下了14分，从而在上半场以55：50领先了主队5分。

From trailing by 9 points to overtaking by 5 points, the Eagles played quite calmly in the second quarter.

In the commentary hall of the court platform, Zhang Lili even praised directly: "Er Niu completed the task of defending O'Neal very well in the second quarter. Judging from the team's record and personal data, he is the No. [-] center forward in active service! "
