What's beyond D'Antoni's imagination is... The Suns have not improved much except for defense, and the offense is also in a swamp.

Although Stephen Nash's body was taken care of by the Suns team doctor very well, he was 35 years old after all. His footsteps inevitably slowed down. What makes the Suns even more dilemma: Jason Richardson and Ben Wallace are not running players. Although Grant Hill is trying hard to integrate into the fast break, he can only use his skills on the flanks... He is no longer the violent gentleman who could steal the All-Star ticket from Michael Jordan.

Huh!

Stoudemire finally made a shot.

But not in the traditional sense of catching and shooting, but on the left side of the free throw line 12 feet away from the hoop, holding the ball in singles... He has been enhancing his personal offensive ability with the ball. He has gradually completed his face frame technique. Facing the poor version of himself, he played very well.

But it is undeniable that David Lee worked very hard.

Although his defensive ability is poor, he is very simple and diligent on the offensive end to do his job. This made him quickly give an answer-ball at halftime. Dugge used Milicic's pick and roll to get into the paint from outside the three-point line. After attracting Stoudemire's help, he passed the ball directly to David Lee, and David Lee took the ball and shot...Why!

Very easy-ball.

This made D'Antoni on the sidelines extremely excited, and he shook his fist vigorously.

Snoopy's pick-and-roll offense just now made him exasperated, and it's not just Stephen Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll that is called a run and bomb. Without Stephen Nash, I can still support another Snoopy!

However, Isaiah Thomas in front of the TV didn't think so.

He thinks that Doug is not fighting at all. It was a carefully constructed positional attack...because the defender he pulled out was Milicic, which emptied Phoenix's penalty area. David Lee played the role of a pitcher in this attack, not the end of the offense in the so-called run-and-run V-shaped pick-and-roll.

The game continues.

Both sides present a state of undefensive confrontation.

The Suns are... Stoudemire and Grant Hill's two strikers crossed quickly, and Stephen Nash occasionally hit a three-pointer.

The Knicks are relatively more holistic here. Except for Chris Duhon who didn't score, the rest of the players have won! Among them, Doug completed three aggressive layups at the basket, and this is also one of the decisive factors for the Knicks' perimeter to be able to open smoothly. The other factor is...Milicic forced two of Wallace.

The first quarter was finished very quickly.

38:35.

The Knicks in the away game led by 3 points.

Such a score made Isaiah Thomas in front of the TV shook his head again and again. He has no good feelings for the running team and thinks they don't know what defense is.

The second quarter of the game started soon.

D'Antoni put Quentin Richardson, Jeffries and Matty Klins into the rotation lineup, with Dug and Milicic.

This rotation lineup is not worse than the starting lineup in terms of strength, and has more than one defensive ability.

however.

This rotation was spent by the Suns' rotation.

The rotation consisting of Robin Lopez, Stoudemire, Matt Barnes, Leondro Barbosa and Dragic directly penetrated the Knicks with a quick bombardment. A wave of 17:5 attacks hit D'Antoni doubting his life.

Everyone can tell that Quentin Richardson and others are not working hard. Whether it is Barbosa or Matt Barnes, their excitement is like crossing the road in the early morning, and the Knicks are not on the way forward. Give them any defensive obstacles.

This makes the Suns second team, which is only the accelerator, handy. Stoudemire has three consecutive dunks to release the enthusiasm of the US West Arena to the limit.

And he himself roars presumptuously: This is RUN-GUN! !

This made D'Antoni look stiff.

In the fifth minute of the second quarter, he reached out for a timeout.

The players walked to the benches of both sides, but Robin Lopez, who is also a rookie, was talking cordially with Snoopy, and both of them were smiling. This made the narrator of the local Phoenix TV station bluntly said: "It seems...their relationship is really good. They are from the same college league, and they are all top students. However, Robin, you are now opponents. Go for a drink after the game."

Everyone thought that Robin Lopez was talking passionately with Snoopy Du.

But in fact…….

"Are you now reduced to only daring to carry the ball from the outside? I said long ago that you can't survive in the NBA's penalty area. This is the world of big men."

Robin Lopez scored four rebounds and scored two goals in the second quarter. In addition, he blocked Jeffries once.

These supported his confidence. Let him have enough confidence to show off in front of Doug: "Dare you come to the restricted area to fight me again?"

Du Ge smiled slightly. "You seem...not worthy to challenge me. But...you reminded me that I should indeed do some constructive work in the penalty area."

Immediately, he walked to the bench.

D'Antoni is suffering.

Now it is clear that Quentin Richardson is a group of players against him, and he does show that he does not like them. If it is a normal game, they will be bad if they want to be bad. Anyway, the management has no requirements for this season's record. Such unprofessional behavior of these people will only hurt themselves. But tonight, D'Antoni just wants to win. He doesn't want to lose his prestige in Phoenix, and he doesn't want to be honest with those critics. He wants to prove that there is no Stoudemire and Stephen Nash, and he is still a master of running and bombing.

But... if Quentin Richardson and the others continue to work so hard, it will be difficult for them to win the game because of the shortage of personnel rotation.

"Next, I will defend Stoudemire."

Dug told D'Antoni.

When D'Antoni heard this, he was slightly relieved: Fortunately, there is Snoopy.

Immediately, he arranged for David Lee, Doug, Gallinari, Stephen Novak and Chris Duhon to play.

After Doug came on the field, Chris Duhon still gave the ball to him.

Now, up and down the Knicks, everyone knows that Snoopy is the core of the team. This is even recognized by Quentin Richardson, Zach Randolph and others.

Doug came outside the three-point line with the ball, he didn't let David Lee come out to pick and roll himself.

Facing the fluffy bread zone defense used by the Suns, he directly speeded in. When he faced Matt Barnes's supplementary defense at the free throw line, he suddenly bowed his head and changed his direction violently... 咻! !

The wind is screaming, and it flashes by!

Matt Barnes didn’t expect it. The defensive analysis manual he had read did not show that Snoopy had such an ability... The defense he has always shown has been relying on pick-and-rolls and going down the road. In some cases, the defender can turn around to catch up. Therefore, he has reservations.

So... Snoopy did it all at once.

And in the next moment he reached the depths of the paint, jumping high...Boom!

The basketball was smashed into the basket with one hand ~lightnovelpub.net~ D'Antoni immediately raised his fist from the sidelines, Quentin Richardson and others beside him also applauded.

No matter how the two factions quarrel, their attitude towards Doug is friendly.

"Finally highlights the feeling of a star."

The eyes of Isaiah Thomas in front of the TV became more and more expectant. When Dugge is able to tear open the line of defense on his own, and directly throw off the defense, it means that he has the possibility of destroying the opponent's entire defense system on his own...and this is the basic requirement for evaluating a star.

Soon, the frontcourt formed a one-on-one trend.

Stoudemire opened a singles game against Douglas. He has never caught Doug and even publicly denied the potential of Dugger in the media. He pointed to Doug's feet and said arrogantly: "I will make a shot from this position, rookie!"

Doug looked at Stoudemire with a calm expression, and he also pointed to his feet: "I will finish the shot at this place!"
