Chapter 463 Crushing Them! (Add Another Chapter, and Ask for a Subscription)

At noon on the 27th, the Knicks announced that Stoudemire suffered a sprained ankle and will be sidelined for about a week.

"I will appear in Phoenix, and I will crush him in the American West Arena!" Facing the interview with the media, Stoudemire firmly said.

"I'm looking forward to a full Knicks team. I'm looking forward to crushing a Knicks team like this. That's what makes me happy."

Li Ba said in an interview in Milwaukee.

On January 27, the Suns defeated the Bucks, but lost to the Celtics in back-to-back the next day, with a record of 37 wins and 8 losses.

On the night of the 30th, the Suns defeated the Raptors and completed all the games in January with one victory.

But on February 1, the Suns lost their first game in February, to the Grizzlies.

In this game, it wasn't that the Suns played badly, but that the Grizzlies played too well. Everyone was a soldier, and 8 players scored in double figures.

After losing to the Grizzlies, the Suns flew to Minnesota overnight, and they will play the Timberwolves back to back.

The Suns were not in good shape in this game, and they lost to the Timberwolves for the first time in a row.

With 39 wins and 9 losses, the Suns record is still the first in the league.

Six consecutive away games exhausted the Suns, but they were finally able to return to Phoenix.

On February 5, the Suns ushered in the Knicks at home.

The Suns rested for three days, and the generals were refreshed.

"Crush them!" Li Ba shouted loudly in the locker room of the home team.

"Crush them!" All the generals of the sun shouted together.

In the locker room of the visiting team, D'Antoni is arranging the tactics for this game.

"Look out, we keep three guys in the backcourt, make sure to go fast. The other two go upcourt fast, make sure to get out of the catch position fast. Steve, you have to pass the ball as soon as you catch the ball to the frontcourt."

"The passing line must avoid the hammer to avoid being intercepted."

"Amare, don't do what you did last time, that's a lunatic, don't hit him head-on."

At this time, some media asked to come in for an interview, and they were allowed.

The teams with the first and second records in the league, both teams' style of play attracts popularity. This game is still being broadcast live by TNT and CCTV, and there are many reporters who come in.

"Coach D'Antoni, are there any tactical adjustments in this game?" Barkley asked.

"We will still insist on running and bombing. This is our philosophy and the future of the league. We will not change it." D'Antoni said.

"So how to avoid the passivity in the first half of the first quarter of the last game?" Barkley asked.

Speaking of that, D'Antoni was a little embarrassed, and thought for a while: "Our lack of mental preparation for the last game is my problem, but this time we are well prepared, it will be a completely different game."

"Stoudemire, what kind of performance do you hope for this game?" Yu Jia asked.

Stoudemire glanced at Yu Jia, Chinese? He said coldly, "I'll make him look good."

After interviewing the away team, a group of reporters ran to the home team locker room.

"Frank, will this tactic be adjusted?" Barkley asked.

"Defend to the end." Frank laughed.

"Hammer, do you have any opinion on what Craig Sager said?" Yu Jia asked with a smile.

""he? "

Li Ba smiled, and said, "Some of what he said is true, but there are also many loopholes."

"For example?" Yu Jia asked.

Li Ba went on to say: "For example, the run-and-gun tactics ignore defense. In the half quarter, we defeated the run-and-gun through defense. He can say that this is not the victory of the traditional center tactics, but it must be run-and-gun Failure, because their firepower can't break through our defense, isn't this a failure?

For another example, we used defense to prevent the Knicks from running and bombing at all. They couldn't even reach the basket. The position of the opponent's center cannot be reached. What's the use of a tactic that can't even reach the basket?

So, in that half of the quarter, it was not that the traditional center tactics could not win, but that the running and gunning was too weak, and I had no chance to perform in the paint area. "

Hearing Li Ba's call, Yu Jia, Barkley and other reporters laughed.

In fact, the Hammer's depreciation of run-and-bomb tactics has surpassed any media. How much hatred is this?

Before the game, the starters are announced.

Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Posey, Marbury.

Knicks: Tim Thomas, Stoudemire, Kurt Thomas, Quentin Richardson, Nash.

The starting lineup, the two teams meet at the entrance of the channel.

"Steve, if the Knicks have no future, you can come to us." Li Ba greeted with a smile.

Glancing at his teammates, Nash was a little embarrassed, and secretly scolded Li Ba in his heart, "Tie Hammer, you are really no joke. The psychological warfare started before the game even started."

He said: "I am not bad in New York now, our team is also good, I really hope to finish my career in New York."

"Impossible, as long as you can't prove the success of running and bombing this season, you will definitely be dismantled. Steve, you will not escape the fate of being put on the shelf." Li Ba laughed.

Nash was in a bad mood, and he said unconvinced: "We will know after this match."

"You are doomed to be crushed by us, why not put yourself in a good position and enjoy it?" Li Ba said sincerely.

"Puchi!"

Marbury and others laughed behind.

Nash's face darkened, and he argued: "Our lineup is still a bit weaker. If we get the right reinforcements, it is very possible to crush you."

That's when the visiting team comes on.

Stoudemire was the first to play.

In the familiar arena, he used to be cheering fans when he saw him, but now he was indifferent and ignored, and he was a little chilled.

"Tonight, I want revenge."

Facing the flashing lights of the media, Stoudemire strode into the court.

"ah!!!!"

The home team came out to huge cheers.

Li Ba is always a little regretful, Phoenix is ​​not bad, but his favorite beauty star is not there.

In a grand welcome, high-fiving the fans on both sides of the aisle, he was the last to appear.

"victory!"

Before the game, in front of the Suns bench, cheers from the Suns generals erupted.

For the jump ball, Li Ba and Stoudemire faced each other.

As the ball bounced upwards, the two exploded.

Li Ba had no choice but to accept Stoudemire's athleticism. He jumped fast and high, and he lost again this round.

Knicks attack.

Li Ba turned and ran, returning to defense quickly.

Others immediately pressed the defense, not giving the Knicks players the opportunity to quickly rush into the frontcourt.

"It seems that the tactics of the Suns are still the same as in the previous game, and the defensive intensity is very high." Zhang Reasonable shouted.

Li Ba ran to the basket, and Kurt Thomas came over, but he didn't ask for the ball. His main function was to grab rebounds.

Stoudemire went to the right wing and kept running.

Marion followed Stoudemire and defended very tightly. He adopted line defense and tried his best to cut off his passing and receiving lines.

The Knicks' offensive formation today is very wide, which brings some difficulties to the Suns' defense, and it is even more difficult to double-team and return to defense.

At this time Quentin Richardson suddenly ran back on the left wing and went beyond the three-point line.

Nash has quick hands and quick eyes, and the ball is passed.

Richardson took off immediately after receiving the ball and made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The basketball hits the hoop.

The ball rebounded, and Li Ba moved to the left line of the paint first and grabbed the rebound.

The Knicks are too weak inside, and their rebounding ability is a few levels behind the Hammer. When Richardson made a shot, Marbury had already turned around and went down quickly, leading Nash with absolute speed, and succeeded in a layup after receiving the ball.

0:2, the Suns lead at home.
