255: I will find Wei Ge in the future (4K(1/2)
This season, Stoudemire is in a good mood every time he comes to the Rose Garden Arena.
After all, what could be more satisfying than defeating Wayne?
Speaking of which, there is a question mark as to whether Stoudemire can be an All-Star substitute this season.
After Wayne and KG took over the starting positions, there were still Dani, Driver and Trail Blazers' Gasol waiting to be selected as All-Star substitutes.
Stoudemire wants to make the All-Star team, unless he is selected as a center.
The selection of All-Star substitute players has nothing to do with votes.
Substitutes are voted on by the coaches of the 30 teams, and each coach cannot select players from his own team.
Therefore, before the substitute list is announced, Stoudemire still has a chance to give it another try and turn his bicycle into a motorcycle.
As long as he can perform well in these games, he might be favored by the coaches of other teams.
Wayne and the Trail Blazers are a very suitable opponent.
Well, in the past, it was Wayne who took advantage of others, but now it is others who want to take advantage of Wayne.
Although many players are still unwilling to admit that Wayne is already a first-line star, they all want to prove themselves by defeating Wayne.
This is actually enough to explain the problem.
If the Suns can defeat the Trail Blazers today like they did the previous three times, then Stoudemire will definitely get a lot of extra points.
However, what Stoudemire doesn't know is... Wayne and Paul also want to attack the Suns!
Both sides regard the other as prey, so it will definitely turn into a fight between beasts in the end.
This time, McMillan took this game very seriously.
Having lost to the Suns three times before, McMillan had to make some targeted arrangements for the Suns.
The Suns' record this season is quite outstanding, with a record of 38 wins and 10 losses so far.
That's one game less than the Trail Blazers' 39 wins and 10 losses.
Therefore, in McMillan's view, the Suns are very likely to become a strong opponent of the Trail Blazers in the playoffs.
In this case, some measures must be taken.
And McMillan's arrangement on the defensive end was to let Wayne take advantage of his mobility and double-team Stoudemire!
This season, the Suns' common starters are Nash, Raja Bell, Marion, Diaw and Stoudemire.
Boris Diaw, the French coffee boy known as "Dick Brother" in the world, can be regarded as an all-around high-quality role player.
This season he averaged 9.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage just reached the passing line of 33.3%.
He is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 113 kilograms. He can keep up with the defense on the outside and can barely withstand the defense on the inside.
It is simply the template for most all-around insiders more than ten years later.
But now, Dior, who is neither ordinary nor ordinary, is a quite different kind of guy.
Dior's best feature is its versatility, and its biggest shortcoming is also its versatility.
Being versatile means that Dior can do a little bit of everything, but does nothing very well.
Take Diaw's three-pointer as an example. His three-pointer, like the Spurs' Bonner, is a representative example of a deterrent effect that exceeds its actual effect.
Although the three-point shooting rate has reached the passing line, he only averaged 0.6 three-pointers per game and made 0.2.
Calculating this, Diaw can only score one three-pointer every five games.
So, if you dare to take a gamble and let the French shoot three-pointers freely, you might be surprised.
McMillan planned to do this and let the Frenchman shoot. He would be under great psychological pressure and might not be able to shoot accurately.
On the defensive end, in addition to asking Wayne to help defend Stoudemire, McMillan also emphasized that Paul should provide Nash with enough fierce physical confrontation.
It can be seen that McMillan does not want his team to compete with the Suns.
He hopes to use a meat grinder-like defense to curb the opponent's offensive momentum.
If this tactic is arranged like this, Pao'er won't be able to sleep.
Give Nash enough fierce physical confrontation? Even if McMillan doesn't emphasize it, Paul will do it.
You can't say enough about those people Paul defeated before.
Then beating last season’s MVP should be enough!
The night before the game started, Wayne specially invited Pao'er to his home to watch short videos related to the game.
Seeing the blood of the two people swelling, they were very excited.
I can’t wait to have a sweaty multi-person exercise right away.
If 10 men exercise together, that's not called multi-person exercise.
"The Suns' offense is so gorgeous." Paul looked at the game video, watching the wonderful aerial cooperation between Nash and Stoudemire, and couldn't help but look at Wayne.
Wayne was stunned for a moment, are you into a drama?
"Brother Wei, let's try tomorrow too?"
"Well... you know, I am a low-key person. Logically speaking, for someone like me who can dunk Howard, it would be easy for him to beat them like this.
The key is, I don't like such a fancy style of play. We played a few tactics steadily, hit the shots steadily, and then won the victory.
What's the use of playing so well if you can't win the game?"
After Wayne finished speaking, he admired himself.
He is so refreshing and refined in saying that his athletic ability is not as good as that of others. He is worthy of being a good ventriloquist.
Paul looked at Wayne with an expression that said, "Weige's situation is different."
"Well, victory comes first! By the way, Brother Wei, your box of goodies..."
"Oh, take it, use it, use it, use it all!" Wayne was speechless, as expected of his surname Pao'er.
If Pao'er and Cointai can become teammates in the future, they will probably have a lot of common topics.
On the afternoon of February 3, the Phoenix Suns players arrived at the Rose Garden.
When they came in to warm up, everyone on the Trail Blazers had already started.
The reporter who didn't mind the matter immediately ran to Nash: "Steve, do you think Chris Paul is really qualified to be in the All-Star starting lineup? More qualified than you?"
Nash is not a very aggressive person, so when faced with this obvious problem, Nash just said: "I just want to talk about today's game."
"So are you confident in taking away the victory from the Rose Garden? In the previous games this season, you maintained a undefeated record against the Trail Blazers."
"We are here to win, but we won't know until the game is played."
The reporter curled his lips, Damn, Nash is definitely a master of nonsense!
Answering questions can always avoid all explosive points.
A good interview opportunity was wasted by two innocuous questions.
I thought this indifferent attitude would be carried over into the competition.
Little did they know that from the beginning of the game, the confrontation between the two sides became very fierce.
Both sides regard each other as one of the biggest obstacles this season.
In the third minute of the first quarter, Stoudemire and Nash played a pick-and-roll and quickly cut in. Although my sister-in-law's pace was not slow, she was still slightly inferior to Stoudemire.
Just like that, Stoudemire cut into the penalty area, and his sister-in-law was half a body away.
But just as Stoudemire was about to dunk, Wayne jumped out and stood in Stoudemire's path with his hands on his crotch.
Stoudemire had no time to brake or pass the ball, and he just collided with Wayne.
Both men fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Stoudemire thought he had two free throw opportunities, but unexpectedly the referee called him an offensive foul.
"What? This is obviously a block!" Stoudemire began to teach the referee what to do again.
Seeing that the referee ignored him, Stoudemire, the fake macho man, yelled at Wayne again: "You just relied on your acting skills to become an All-Star?"
"Huh?" Wayne, who originally stood up to join the attack, turned his head and glared at Stoudemire.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, and he took two steps back like a reflex.
"What are you mumbling about?" Wayne continued to ask, he wanted to see what Stoudemire wanted to do.
"I didn't say anything? Did Burris say that?"
Dior:???
I ate your rice and you let me take the blame!?
"It's really not you?"
"No, no, absolutely not, you don't know me yet."
"Oh, maybe I heard it wrong." After Wayne finished speaking, he continued to run forward.
To be continued...
