NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again!

As soon as Nash walked onto the court, he saw Hill starting the game, and he couldn't help but frown.

Why change people?
Logically speaking, both teams played well in the first half, with the Knicks scoring 70 points on offense. As for defense, when have they ever taken it seriously?
Under the premise that no one is performing particularly poorly, having foul trouble or being injured, almost no team would suddenly change their starting lineup at this time.

Firstly, it is too risky and will affect the team's overall rotation, player habits and level of tacit understanding.

Secondly, the starting player who was replaced is likely to feel resentful, especially the players in their prime. This practice of replacing the starting lineup at halftime will make them feel dissatisfied and feel insulted.

Thirdly, from the perspective of metaphysics, changing generals before a battle is not something that is particularly auspicious or worth promoting, no matter in ancient or modern times, in China or abroad.

Avoid it if you can!

So this time the Knicks took the initiative to replace a starter, and an experienced offensive starter at that, which made Nash quite uneasy.

Because he was sure that the Knicks replaced Hill not because old Nelson was dissatisfied with the team's offense in the first half.

You're not satisfied after scoring 70 points? Are you going to let your team score 100 points in the first half?

Since he is not dissatisfied with his team's performance, it must be a targeted substitution. Who is it targeting?
Anyway, Nash felt that it was definitely not aimed at James Jones or Marion.

Maybe, he hopes that Hill can use his experience and skills to compete with Pierce?
hope so.

Nash's mouth curled up, and he felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

These people are so dirty!
Nash suddenly felt that he would rather be slapped down and hit against a billboard with his shoulder than face the group of guys on the opposite side. Playing basketball dirty can be saved, but there is no cure for the heart.

While Nash was daydreaming, Lin Tian had already dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but this time, the one facing Lin Tian was James Jones.

"Steve, are you scared to death? You don't even have the guts to play against me?" When Lin Tian saw the planned switch defense, he was not in a hurry and started to mock Nash.

"I can't defend you, can't you find someone stronger? If you have the ability, you can beat James!" Nash was standing nearby and decisively admitted his defeat to Lin Tian.

But when he admitted his defeat, he didn't pay attention to James Jones's expression, which looked like his mother had died.

Please don't provoke him, brother! I beg you to stop provoke him!

What do you mean you have the ability to beat me? I'm not a defensive warrior! I'm not a defensive warrior!
Attack Marion, attack Martin, why attack me?
I just owe you $20 from our last card game. Is it necessary?

"Oh!"

Lin Tian didn't say any more nonsense, but turned around and hit Jones in the chest with his shoulder, hitting this pure shooter who was mediocre in all abilities except shooting.

Jones felt that he almost couldn't breathe and was almost suffocating!
"Oh!"

Then came the second blow! Jones felt as if he had been hit directly in the chest by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. He felt as if his entire chest cavity had been crushed!

"Oh!"

After the third blow, Jones wanted to open his mouth and vomit out all his internal organs.

It’s uncomfortable, it’s so uncomfortable!
Fortunately, his suffering ended here. Lin Tian did not give him a fourth shot. Instead, he turned around quickly and made a step-back jump shot, ending the attack!
"Do you like my gift, kid?" After scoring the goal, Lin Tian said with a relaxed look on his face, "You're not a gay, are you? Because those 300-kilogram dead fat pigs only like you, a soft and stupid person!"

Jones did not reply. He knew that if he did, Lin Tian would definitely target him even more harshly.

At the same time, he gave Nash a thumbs up in his heart.

You are worthy of being a leader!

With this level of collision, and Nash's physique which was not even as strong as his own, could he really withstand it for the entire first half without protesting, and only lost his mind during the halftime break?

Anyway, Jones felt that he could only hold on for three minutes at most before he would despair!
It hurts so much!
"Great job James! Keep up the good work!"

Nash came over at this time and patted Jones on the butt: "We are all relying on you in the second half! Don't worry, I will feed you the ball as much as possible! You have taken on the heaviest defensive task."

"I will definitely let you take more shots on the offensive end and make you more visible!"

What Nash said is quite heartwarming.

Where can you find a boss who cares so much about role players?
If Jones was not facing Lin Tian, ​​who was as strong as a Tyrannosaurus, he would definitely be extremely moved and would want to give his life to Nash.

but……

Today he is facing Lin Tian!

So now Jones didn't feel moved, he just felt like dying.

In a confrontation of this level, do I have to persist for the entire second half?

Why? Why?

I don't want to support you! Can't someone else come?

If it doesn't work, how about we bring Bell back? Let that guy come?

Jones' mind was full of resentment and grievance at this moment, which resulted in him not being prepared when Nash really passed the ball to him, causing the three-pointer to be quite off target.

"It's okay! It's just one ball. I will keep feeding you the ball anytime! As long as you have a chance!" Nash continued his performance as a perfect teammate. He patted Jones on the butt, giving him encouragement and confidence.

But Nash's behavior obviously did not make Jones happy. He was now suffering from severe physical damage, and a little encouragement was not enough to revive him.

But fortunately, Lin Tian’s subsequent behavior was quite heartwarming.

After arriving at the scene again, Lin Tian quickly waved his hand to signal Hill, who was facing Nash, to come over. Then the two of them switched positions and he faced Nash again.

Jones next to him was so moved that he almost shed tears. He grabbed Hill's arm as if he had seen a life-saving straw and refused to let go, as if he was afraid that Hill would run away after blocking the attack. He almost begged Hill not to leave him.

At the same time, Jones did not forget to shout: "Switch!"

Change defense immediately!

What could Nash do? Could he not change the ball?

Can you still watch Lin Tian, ​​who is about to score 30 points, shoot randomly and then double-team Hill who just came on the court?

Even if the Suns don't pay much attention to defense, it can't be so exaggerated!

Nash could only stick to it again, and then there was the familiar sound of "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Then Lin Tian turned around and made another jump shot, scoring 2 points again!
After this goal, Lin Tian looked at Nash's bitter face and couldn't suppress his smile: "Do you think you can avoid me with a mismatched defense? Steve, you underestimate my love for you!"

"Get out!" Nash's chest was still aching. He was in no mood to argue or joke with Lin Tian. He just wanted to stay away from Lin Tian.

"You want to stay away from me, right? You don't want to play against me anymore, right?" Lin Tian said like a worm in Nash's stomach: "Sure, I'll satisfy you."

"But I won't compete with you. It will be a bit wasteful. I was born a person who doesn't like to waste. I will eat every grain of rice in the bowl without leaving any left!"

"So Steve, are you ready? My guys are about to start lining up!"

queue?

Nash didn't understand, but he had a bad feeling.

But he soon understood.

Next, his opponent Hill came to the wing, blocked Nash with his back, and reached out for the ball.

Although Hill is old, his movements are slower and his explosive power is almost gone.

But Hill's height, strength and skills have not disappeared at all!
This guy blocked Nash with his back, grabbed the basketball and headed towards the inside!
Although his strength may not be as good as Lin Tian's, his height and weight advantages make it quite easy for him to crush Nash, who is less than 190 cm tall.

In a few seconds, Hill squeezed into the basket, turned over and shot a jump shot close to the basket, and the basketball hit the target again!

Nash's defense is really not good.

"When Grant gets tired of playing, we'll switch to the next one!" Lin Tian and Hill high-fived enthusiastically, then continued to taunt Nash, "You're not going to cry, are you, Steve?"

"Get out!" Nash now understood everything.

Tonight, no! This series, he won't be able to relax!
Because in addition to Lin Tian and Hill, Nash also saw Anthony, and even Smith and Wallace on the bench. So many tall and strong 1-3 positions!

As long as Nelson wants, the Knicks can always put out three outside players who are good at post-ups or whose height and weight completely crush Nash.

Even Barnes, who was replaced by old Nelson, this guy's height and weight can still crush Nash.

This series is going to be disgusting from beginning to end.

"FUXX!" Nash suddenly cursed, then looked at Lin Tian and said, "Then you guys can beat me to death on the court!"

"If you can't kill me, I'll kill you!"

Nash was completely furious.

Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?

Do you really think I'm easy to bully?

I'm fucking hard!
Are you targeting me? Okay! Come on! Let’s see who dies first!
If you keep backing me down, you're giving up on your fast break and three-point shots. You're losing sight of the big picture and giving up your biggest advantage.

Come, come!

He dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt, then Nash raised his hand to let Martin come forward and do a pick-and-roll with him, and then he made his signature jump shot!
His forward-leaning 38-style shooting posture is quite ugly, but his hit rate is really high!

In addition, his shooting style requires almost no preparation and pre-swing, and his direct shot after a single screen is really difficult to defend.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Nash's life-saving three-pointer went into the net!
"Come on! Beat me to death! Beat me to death!"

Nash was completely furious at this moment, and his eyes were a little red.

He is an MVP after all. If Nash doesn't get ruthless and is targeted and bullied like this, he will never reach this level and status!

As for the Knicks’ response?
Of course it satisfies him!

And double it!
It doesn't hurt when you're hit by one person, right?

Then don’t queue up, let’s go together!

The basketball came into Hill's hands again. He chased Nash all the way to the inside. Just when Nash's stomach was churning, Hill suddenly made a ground pass and passed the ball.

Nash instinctively looked back, and then he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him, and then with a "bang", it knocked Nash over!
"boom!"

Then there was a loud bang, Lin Tian grabbed the basket with both hands and shook it fiercely, then fell to the ground and roared at Nash.

Today, we bullied you, so what!

It's not just one person bullying you, it's not even taking turns to bully you, it's the whole team bullying you, they bully you together, they team up to bully you!
After being pushed around by someone, you will be knocked into the air, and then you will be dunked over and fall to the ground.

I just don’t believe that you won’t be defeated!
Nash: My heart is like steel, I am resolute and unyielding!
In the subsequent games, the Knicks continued to target Nash madly. Even though D'Antoni had begun to pay attention to protecting Nash after Nash's protest during the halftime break, he not only asked Nash to switch defense, but also asked others to pay attention to help assist in defense and double-team Nash at any time.

Or you can switch defense at any time to protect Nash as much as possible and reduce his energy consumption.

All of the above are D'Antoni's methods.

But the effect was mediocre.

There's no way, the Knicks have too many strong men.

Or you could say that all the guys in their team are strong men. This team has perfectly inherited the gangster style of the 90s, with tall and thin guys, short guys, soft guys, poor physiques, and those who are afraid of confrontation.

No one.

Well, not one.

At most, we can find an Okur.

But no matter how afraid of confrontation and how much he dislikes physical combat, Okur cannot play in the same position as the inside players, and cannot beat those dark, rough and tough players. But you ask him to play against Nash?

Then he said every minute: I'm O'Neal, where's Nash? Let him come out!

In short, the Knicks really beat Nash to death and did not treat him as a delicate flower or a baby who needed to be cared for.

Just beat him, beat him to death.

He is the darling and son of the wind of you Phoenix people, yes, but he is also the favorite RBQ of us New Yorkers!
In the third quarter, Nash, who was completely determined, played fiercely, grinning, and scored 13 points in a single quarter. With one quarter left, Nash had already scored a big double-double of 30 points and 13 assists!

The 6 consecutive points in the last moments of the first half and the outburst in the third quarter, this guy's scoring explosiveness should definitely not be underestimated!

But of course, this guy was very strong on the offensive end, but he was also badly beaten by the Knicks players on the defensive end.

At least when Nash was sitting on the bench at the end of the third quarter, he seemed a little dazed.

His face was expressionless, his eyes were dull, and he almost slumped in his chair, not saying a word.

Nash felt like his whole body was falling apart.

These New York bastards have no mercy on women...

Pooh!
These bastards really treat me like a punching bag!

But Nash suffered and felt pain.

But thanks to his almost perfect performance in the third quarter, the Suns were able to keep up with the score and even overtake the opponent.

103: 105!

The Suns successfully took control of the game thanks to Nash's outstanding performance in a single quarter.

Although it is only a one-goal advantage, it is definitely enough for them!
Getting the lead on the road at this point in the game is definitely a huge morale boost for the Suns!

At least that's what D'Antoni told his players at the end of the third quarter.

"We're ahead! We're in control! We only have 12 minutes left to beat them away from home! Let's work harder, let's make one last effort, beat them, and get off to a good start in the finals!"

"Kill them!"

The Suns players shouted in unison, expressing their determination to win.

Except Nash.

Nash was still breathing loudly at this moment. He was really tired.

As for the Knicks on the opposite side?
"How long do you think it will take for him to be carried away?" Old Nelson looked at his players with ease. He was different from D'Antoni. He could easily tell from the players' body language and the degree of physical exhaustion.

And even though the team is behind at this moment, old Nelson is not in a hurry at all, because even though the team almost forgot about the three-pointer as an offensive method in the third quarter, they were still able to play like this against the Suns. This definitely met and even exceeded his expectations!

After being beaten like this, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
"I don't know how much time it will take for him to be carried away." Lin Tian was equally relaxed. He didn't take many shots in the third quarter and gave a lot of the ball to his teammates who were facing Nash. He only scored 7 points in the entire third quarter. Now he has a total of 28 points, which is still not as high as Nash.

But just as old Nelson thought: You fought hard to get 2 points ahead of us, but our nuclear bomb hasn't even entered the launch orbit!

Section 4, take it easy.

"But I can guarantee that he won't get many points in the fourth quarter." Lin Tian said confidently: "He has been tortured by us on the defensive end and it's our turn to torture him on the defensive end next!"

"The game time is over. In the fourth quarter, I will stick to him the whole time! No matter how much energy he has left, I don't care how much fighting spirit he has. I will destroy the Suns' confidence and the source of their offense from the root!"

"Very good." Old Nelson nodded with satisfaction. "Then in the fourth quarter, we will no longer play one-on-one against Nash in the low post. Let's play what we are best at, our favorite fast offense! Kill them for me!"

"Dry!"

After a roar, the Knicks players once again walked onto the court.

It's time to let the Suns see how powerful they are!
The fourth quarter begins! (End of this chapter)
