NBA: I! The Most Versatile Player Ever!

The Celtics' starting lineup: center Okur, power forward Diaw, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Shane Battier, point guard Gu Yu.

Sun's starting lineup: center Stoudemire, power forward Marion, small forward Quentin Richardson, shooting guard singles Joe, point guard Nash.

The warm-up ended soon, and the game officially started as the referee's whistle sounded.

Okur successfully jumped the ball and the game officially started.

The Celtics started to attack.

Gu Yu glanced at Nash, who was defending in front of him, and had a new understanding of the sun.

Although it has long been known that the Suns have no defense, but let Nash guard Gu Yu......

Gu Yu really thinks D'Antoni is outrageous too.

Without any hesitation, Gu Yu faced Nash and pulled out his hand from beyond the arc.

The huge height gap makes Nash not even able to defend Gu Yu, and he can't even interfere.

Swish!

The basketball hollowed into the net, and D'Antoni on the sidelines saw this scene without any change in his face.

For the Suns, it doesn't matter how many points their opponents get, they just need to get more points than their opponents!

Then the run-and-gun tactics were shown in front of the fans of the North Shore Gardens.

The run-and-gun tactic refers to a tactic based on high-speed and very smooth circulation movement, speeding up the speed of offense and defense transition and sacrificing half-court positional offense.

Tactical characteristics: The first is to pursue speed, just like bombers bombing indiscriminately, increase the number of rounds, and keep shooting to create points.

Therefore, many fans also refer to the sun's run-and-gun tactics as the "7-second fast break".

Nash and others are very fast, Gu Yu and others have not completely retreated and are looking for a good position.

The sun is ready to attack.

In the run-and-gun tactics, the run refers to the speed, and then the bomb refers to the attack.

When transitioning from offense to defense, take advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing, or directly hit the basket, or vacate, or partially play more and less, or shoot three-pointers from outside.

With the help of Marion's cover, after Joe ran out of the space in the singles, he received a pass from Nash and shot directly from the 45-point line on the flank.

Swish!

Shane Battier made up the defense in time, but Joe still entered the singles.

23 This season, Joe is making 47.8% of his three-pointers in singles, and he can hit 2.2 three-pointers per game!

This hit rate....

It is no exaggeration to say that it is nothing more than that Curry possessed!

Rivers on the sidelines saw this scene and shouted to the Celtics.

"Strengthen the defense and fight positional warfare!

From a tactical standpoint, there's nothing wrong with Rivers' thinking.

The more the opponent is good at what, the less he can let the opponent fight.

The more the opponent is not good at something, the more he has to let the opponent fight.

But in fact, the Suns are definitely not a team that is caught in a positional battle without fighting back.

If the sun really fell, there would be no way to fight back, and it would be impossible to achieve 62 victories in the original history.

"The Celtics started to fight back, Paul Pierce cut the Sun's penalty area, and succeeded in hitting Quentin Richardson with a low back.

"The Suns started to fight back, the Celtics' defense was in place, and the Suns fell into a positional battle.

"Joe John didn't have a good shot without Sean Battier, and the ball went back to Steve Nash."

"Steve Nash had a pick-and-roll with Amare Stoudemire when he caught the ball, and Steve made a layup with the ball!

"

As Barkley's voice continued to sound, the sun also showed a tenacious side.

The run-and-gun tactics can't be displayed and fall into the position. This situation will still be encountered a lot in actual combat, and at this time, a pick-and-roll is required.

The pick-and-roll between Nash and Stoudemire during the Suns was often seen in the Suns positional battles.

Nash's career basket shooting rate is also extremely high, averaging 65% of the basket.

This hit rate, if you don't look at Nash's name, everyone believes that it is a center.

Boom!

Dior hit the iron in the cast, Joe grabbed the rebound in the singles, and the Suns directly started the run-and-gun tactics.

Marion and Stoudemire accelerated directly and started rushing towards the Celtics' penalty area.

Okur, although not a traditional blue-collar tank center, can swing to the 4th position.

But the speed is definitely not comparable to the two.

Seeing this situation, Rivers immediately shouted and reminded: "Defend the three-pointer! The three-pointer!

But it was still a step too late. Quentin Richardson made a three-pointer after catching the ball.

Sun's tactics often look suspicious of wave throws, but in fact this is also a kind of tactics.

And it is also one of the commonly used tactics of the sun, rushing to shoot a three-pointer.

Before the opponent's center did not drop, the Suns inside player grabbed the basket.

If the outside player grabs a three-pointer, the goal is good.

Therefore, the run-and-gun tactics require highly mobile inside players.

Boom!

Quentin Richardson shot hard, Marion stuck Okur, and Stoudemire grabbed the rebound.

After Stoudemire grabbed the rebound, he jumped for a second attack.

"Watch out Amare!

Hearing Nash's voice, Stoudemire was taken aback.

Be careful what?

Then he suddenly found that he was shrouded in a shadow!

not good!

Subconsciously, it felt bad, but it was too late.

A big hand pressed down on the basketball in his hand.

Snapped!

The basketball in Stoudemire's hand was directly swept away.

"My God! Gu Yu blocked Stoudemire's second attack directly!

"No matter how many times I watch it! I think Gu Yu's talent is really scary!""

Barkley, who was commenting on the scene, also expressed emotion at this time.

Rivers also called a timeout at this time, and he couldn't go on like this anymore.

Before the game, Rivers didn't take D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics to heart.

But after the real fight, I found out that this team was unexpectedly tricky.

The Sun's attack is fast and not chaotic, even after being caught in a positional battle, the Sun's attack cannot be restrained.

Rivers replaced Okur and put Gu Yu at the 5th position.

While drawing the tactical board, he explained it to the crowd.

"If the sun wants to run and shoot, we can also play fast with the sun if there is a guard to protect the basket."

Hearing this, Gu Yu couldn't help frowning.

He kind of understands why Rivers is always reversed in the playoffs.

With such an adjustment, Rivers seems to be doing well.

Gu Yu's own height and wingspan can top the 5th position, and his speed can also keep up with Stoudemire.

Marion itself is the 3rd position, and either Diaw or Shane Battier can defend him.

But here comes a new problem.

Fast break is a familiar rhythm for the Suns, although the Celtics also have fast break tactics.

But the conventional tactics are still grinding positional warfare.

Abandon the positional warfare and go to the offense and defense of the offense and defense with the sun.

This f*ck...

But Rivers is a coach after all, and Gu Yu can't be too emotionally intelligent.

"Coach, the Suns' offense, in addition to the fast break, also has off-the-ball movement.

One reason the Suns' offense is so efficient is that there are often a dozen or so, or open spots.

Another offensive tactic of the run-and-gun strategy.

It just requires players to keep moving, and with the help of teammates' cover, they can shoot immediately when they run out of space.

Of course, this requires an open space with passing vision, timing and skills to allow the entire team to form an attacking system.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to run out of space and not receive a pass from a teammate.

"The attacking soul of this sun is Nash, and if we want to limit this sun, we must limit Nash.

"My opinion is that Tony went directly to guard Nash after Nash crossed halftime."

"It is better to empty a certain player of the opponent, but also to flank Nash.

Such tactics are, to some extent, very risky.

Because, Nash is the same type of player as Gu Yu.

A combination of sudden transmission and transmission.

This type of player, once caught in the double-team, the first choice is likely to assist teammates.

And unlike players like Lamar Odom, even in the face of a double-team, Nash has a high probability of sending assists.

rather than falling into an offensive stagnation.

The Spurs used this tactic to deal with the Suns, but even so, they couldn't limit the Suns at all.

An MVP-level superstar like Nash has never been so well-restricted.

What Gu Yu has to do is not to limit Nash, but to disrupt the Suns' offensive rhythm.

Nash is not a god after all, when faced with double teams.

It is impossible to have the passing vision due to his height and the passing ability that opponents are not easy to interfere with like Gu Yu.

Restricting Nash or, in other words, making the Suns offense no longer play smoothly is Gu Yu's purpose.

After hearing Gu Yu's words, Rivers didn't leave his mouth and was obviously thinking.

After three seconds, Rivers said: "Gu's opinion is also very reasonable, let's try to flank Nash first. 35

Pierce and Okur were replaced by Rivers to rest, and then Gu Yu, Diaw, Shane, Hardaway and Tony were put on the lineup.

The Suns also replaced Quentin Richardson and replaced Jim Jackson, who was just acquired from the Rockets.

D'Antoni likes the main force of dead grass for a day or two. Joe is averaging 39.5 minutes per game in singles this season, and Marion is averaging 38.8 minutes per game.

It's basically a rhythm to use to the death.

"The game restarted, and as soon as Hardaway came up, Marion grabbed a rebound and the Suns fought back.

"Tony Allen just pressed Steve Nash just past halftime."

"The Celtics changed their defensive strategy, with Shane Battier and Tony Allen flanking Steve Nash from beyond the arc.

"However, I believe that Nash, who has played MVP-level performance this season, will not be limited by it at all!"

Barkley's voice was full of confidence in Nash.

Because it was a pincer attack, Marion was directly emptied.

Nash faced the double team, although the offensive end was under great pressure, he fell into an offensive stagnation for a time.

But still gave the ball to Marion on the flank.

Although Marion's best style of play is to cut the penalty area without the ball, he also has a certain three-point shooting rate this season.

Can use an average of 33.4% three-point shooting, averaging 1.4 three-pointers per game.

As soon as Marion received the ball, Gu Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, directly filled up and defended in front of Marion.

Although Marion has the ability to pass the ball, averaging 1.9 assists per game in his career, but facing Gu Yu's defense, it is really difficult to pass the ball at this time.

The two have played each other at the Olympics before.

Marion is well aware of how terrible Gu Yu's defense is.

Shooting will definitely be disrupted, rushing to the basket may be blocked, passing...

He can't get it out now.

After hesitating for a while, Marion chose to break through and rush to the basket without any hesitation.

Snapped!

Without any accident, Gu Yu directly blocked Marion's layup.

D'Antoni on the sidelines saw this scene, and his expression changed for the first time in this game.

He knew very well what this scene represented.

Sun's tactics on the offensive end, because the Celtics defense has changed!

"The Celtics are attacking! Gu 493 Yu used a large change of direction to pass Stoudemire in front of him and hit a mid-range pull-up jumper!

"Steve Nash was caught in the double-team again, Jim Jackson ran out of space with the help of Marion's screen, and Steve Nash passed the ball a step slower."

"After Jim Jackson caught the ball, Boris Diaw had already defended in front of him again, and Jim Jackson forcibly missed.

As Barkley's voice sounded, the sun had begun to sink into the leeward.

Although the Sun's offensive firepower is still fierce, but the offensive rhythm has clearly begun to slow down.

Under the Celtics' flanking strategy, Nash's passing was obviously affected.

The ball is no longer so timely.

Let the sun's original many vacancies disappear.

Seeing that the rhythm was wrong, D'Antoni decisively called a timeout, and then replaced Steve Nash and replaced Bassab.

The rested Quentin Richardson also returned.

......

The sun was pressed to the ground and hammered.

'Brazilian Lightning' Bassab is a typical speed guard who is good at excelling in the fast break.

Has excellent shooting, as a point guard, has the habit of sticking the ball, and poor playmaking ability.

And he's got the bad defense of the best sixth man.

D'Antoni's idea is that Nash is limited, so let Joe organize the singles and see if he can find opportunities in the fast-break chaos.

The idea is good, but D'Antoni clearly overestimated Bassab and singles Joe.

The offensive firepower of the two can't be said to be poor. After all, one will be an All-Star guard and the other will be the best sixth man.

But there is no Nash's running and shooting, that is, the running and shooting that lacks the soul.

In the chaotic war, although many people form more opportunities to fight less, or even dislocate.

But that's for the average team.

Tony also played small forward in the original history.

The death of the Celtics is five, it is decided that no matter how dislocation is a striker.

In addition, Gu Yu, the auxiliary defense monster, continued to assist in preventing pinch attacks.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Singles Joe and Bassabo began to strike frequently on the court.

Directly hit by a wave of 11:2 offense by the Celtics, the score was directly opened. Seeing that the difference was getting wider and wider, D'Antoni quickly replaced Nash.

Looking at the situation on the court, D'Antoni realized that it was not good.

What do you do when your score is not as high as your opponent's?

Nash came back on the court, and the Suns' run-and-gun tactics were reactivated.

Rivers on the sidelines saw this scene and didn't care.

Looking at Gu Yu in the middle of the court, he sat on the bench with a calm expression.

I have Gu Yu anyway!

Do you want to run away?

Just run and you're done!
