"Ding... The talent skill Son of the Wind is triggered, and the characteristic Home is triggered. The Suns players have strong self-confidence, which offsets the host's team's 24-game winning streak. It comes from Steve Nash."

With more consecutive wins, some weaker teams don't have the courage to resist when they see the Hawks, including relatively stronger teams, but with Nash, the Suns are fearless.

Seeing the Suns' lineup, Liu Mang looked at Prince. He was taller than everyone on the other side...

Speaking of the Death Five, people probably forgot about the Suns...

Nash, Raja Bell, James Jones, Shawn Marion, Diaw.

This lineup of the Suns makes people's heads grow bigger when they run, and the top ones are James Jones and Diaw!

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown.

Rasheed Wallace once again sat on the bench, allowing Rasheed Wallace to play backup center.

There was no suspense about the jump ball. Kwame Brown won the jump ball for the 24th time in 25 games.

The Hawks won the jump ball, and the Suns retreated quickly this time. Liu Mang no longer had any thoughts of accelerating the attack, and steadily controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

Alvin Gentry is a very good assistant coach with all-round offensive and defensive skills. In the current Suns lineup, except for Nash, the other four players are relatively defensive.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and Laga Bell defended him.

Liu Mang protects the ball well, and Laga Bell is considered a physically enhanced and less dirty version of Bruce Bowen. He is a strong contender for the best defensive team this season.

Liu Mang took a look at the opponent's defense. Diaw followed Josh Smith, Nash followed Prince, and James Jones followed Tracy McGrady. Marion was guarding Kwame Brown under the basket. Kwame Brown was blocking fiercely.

Occupied a favorable position.

"Ding... The positionless defensive master is triggered at level 3 and can defend from position one to position five. It comes from Shawn Marion."

Compared to Odom's absolute versatility in both offense and defense, Marion's ability to defend from one to five is also enviable.

It is very suitable for the future small ball era, but in this era, it can only be used in this way under the defensive system of Assistant Gentry or Coach Sloan.

Liu Mang lobbed the ball to Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown received the ball without dribbling. He held the ball tightly with both hands. He turned around and violently pushed away Marion. He jumped on the spot and smashed the ball in with both hands.

Basket!

You can defend from one to five, but whether you can defend it successfully is another question.

Marion can still defend against most centers, but to defend against such a hard dunk that requires getting into position, Kwame Brown has such a fast bounce. Marion doesn't even have room to jump when he is so close.

.

Kwame Brown scored the first goal and returned to defense excitedly.

During yesterday's tactical arrangement, Kwame Brown was overjoyed when he saw that he had the tactical position of the main attacker. The last time he had such a tactical position was when he partnered with Jordan in his rookie season, but at that time Kwame-

Brown's physical condition was far less mature than it is now, and his opponents were not as short, and his shot selection was not as smart as it is now.

Liu Mang also happily returned to defense and got an assist.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Suns attack.

Nash advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu Mang waited for Nash to come over from the top arc.

After Nash moved outside the three-point line, he moved to the right. Liu Mang turned his head and looked to the left. Sure enough, Diaw had already blocked him. Josh Smith immediately switched to Nash, and Liu Mang took a step back.

Blocking Diaw's cutting path.

Unlimited defense changes!

Originally, Mike Woodson wanted Josh Smith to play center, but Prince's size was too disadvantageous to play power forward, and the offensive end was not so advantageous. In addition, Kwame Brown had to play center, so everyone cut his salary.

Made an appointment.

Josh Smith is fast and has a large body. He feels like LeBron James in the 10-11 season. He has no problem preventing the point guard from breaking through, even if the opponent is Nash.

Nash was blocked by Josh Smith and did not continue to stick to the ball. He hoisted the ball toward the top arc. Diaw leaned on Liu Mang to receive the ball, turned around, and faced Liu Mang head-on.

Nash pulled to the right corner and let Diaw organize the attack.

Liu Mang clung to Dior, but... he couldn't bear it!

Dior's ball was too good, and he was still a 2.03 meter forward weighing 105 kilograms. He squeezed past Liu Mang and broke into the inside from the left. Liu Mang's quick footwork did not allow Dior to rush forward at full speed.

At the same time, Sean Marion cut in from the left corner. When Liu Mang followed Diaw to the left side of the three-second zone, Marion just cut in. Diaw passed the ball to Marion and went up.

Blocking Kwame Brown, Marion stretched out his arms and scored two points for a layup.

Liu Mang couldn't even reach it even if he jumped, and the hot pot feast couldn't start!

The Suns really have five players who can throw three-pointers this season. The Suns' space is so good! If the defense can't stop it, use offense to solve it.

Diaw does not have a single ability that is considered top-notch, but from shooting to defense to organizing offense, he is all top-notch. Being the second playmaker when there are so many scorers, he is very capable!

But as soon as Marion scored, Liu Mang immediately picked up the ball and ran out of bounds, throwing the ball towards Josh Smith, who quickly advanced!

Nash and Raja Bell quickly retreated. When Josh Smith entered the three-point line, they forced Josh Smith to stop. Marion and James Jones ran back at this time, and Josh Smith immediately took the ball.

Passing to the right, Raja Bell and James Jones rushed toward McGrady. Shawn Marion had good awareness and blocked Liu Mang on the left.

Just when Marion's defense was in place, Tracy McGrady moved the ball in a wide range and sent it right to Liu Mang!

However, the counterattack of the three arrows had taken away all the Suns' defense. Liu Mang threw the ball into the air, and Kwame Brown followed up and passed Nash. Neither Diaw nor Nash could stop Kwame.

-Brown, Kwame Brown cuts in the middle, leaps high, gets the ball in the air, and presses the ball into the basket!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Let’s focus on Kwame Brown!

Kwame Brown's height, weight, and strength are the strongest among the 10 players currently on the court. He also has a speed rating of 83, giving him a clear physical advantage on the court.

The Suns were puzzled. Didn't they keep the pace just now? Why did they suddenly pick up the pace?

Liu Mang was also surprised by the Suns' retreat. The defense was better than expected!

The main thing is to retreat from defense, which is really well done!

Generally speaking, teams that are good at counterattacks are often teams that are also good at preventing counterattacks. Last season, the Suns were running and gunning, which was a little different from counterattacks, but this season with so many players who are good defenders, the Suns

The defense has also become much stronger.

Of course, it is limited to preventing counterattacks.

When it comes to the Suns' offense again, Nash and Diaw draw the Eagles' defensive attention to the two baselines. La'Gar Bell's three-pointer and Marion's air cut. Marion's air cut is pervasive, and Kwame Brown can only

Taking a step back to defend, Nash did not immediately pass the ball to Marion for a shot. Instead, after getting rid of Liu Mang in the pick-and-roll, he entered the basket next to Josh Smith and actively entered the package of Kwame Brown and Josh Smith who were shrinking back.

After being clipped, the ball extended out of the baseline and hit the bottom corner on the left side of the basket!

Marion received the ball from the bottom corner and launched with a 38-meter push...

"Bang..."

Nash's pass caused exclamations, but unfortunately he didn't make the shot.

Kwame Brown defended the defensive rebound.

Keep fighting back!

Liu Mang received the ball and made a quick impact. The Eagles all pressed forward. This time Liu Mang held the ball and rushed to the three-point line. He was blocked by Nash and Raja Bell who were retreating. Liu Mang rushed outside the three-point line.

Stop and jump!

"Ding... The aerial magician is triggered at level 5. The host will jump and pass the ball this time to deceive the opponent."

Marion, who was chasing after him, had already jumped up. He jumped very high. If Liu Mang threw the ball, there was a 99% chance that he would be blocked. However, the purpose of Liu Mang's jump was to attract the opponent's defense.

Liu Mang threw the ball to the right at a 45-degree angle in the air, and McGrady followed up with the ball and chased for a three-pointer...

Liu Mang's pass was not wasted today. McGrady followed up with a three-pointer in a good rhythm and made a hollow hit!

7 to 2!

The Eagles made two consecutive counterattacks and hit a wave of 5-0!

The Suns called a timeout!

Suns head coach Mike D'Antoni didn't expect that they were stopped by a counterattack!

Originally, D'Antoni thought the Hawks would control the rhythm and play steadily, just like the second time the two teams met last season.

But I didn’t expect the Eagles to play so wildly at the beginning this time!

The Suns fans were even more distressed. It had been a long time since they had seen a team take advantage of them. The last time was the Warriors at the beginning of the season.

When the Hawks played like this, the Suns couldn't adapt at first. D'Antoni called a timeout and re-emphasized the offense.

There were no tactical adjustments, the main purpose was to disrupt the Eagles' rhythm.

The Eagles didn't make too many adjustments. High-speed defense switching was the key to the Eagles' game.

Liu Mang started with 3 assists, Nash had 0 assists, and he had 3 assists in just two minutes! Liu Mang's passing performance is getting better and better, and with the improvement of tacit understanding, Tracy McGrady is becoming more and more adaptable.

Liu Mang's aerial magician's deceptive pass, but...most of the time only Tracy McGrady can catch it, and the more normal passes passed to others by Liu Mang.

After the timeout, the Suns attack.

Nash observed Liu Mang's three offensive choices and found that his passing was indeed much better than when they played against each other last season!

After Nash received the ball in the frontcourt, he did not continue to let Diaw come out for the pick-and-roll. He read the defense very well and had already judged the Eagles' defensive strategy.

Switch defenses at high speed, shrink the defense and cut, and defend Marion, the corner shooter who is relatively the worst three-point shooter.

So, when Liu Mang turned on the assist mode, Nash was about to turn on the scoring mode!
