Chapter 217

In the next round, Nash broke through to contain the Lakers, and Marion cut to the basket with the cooperation of his teammates on the other side.

When the time came, Nash immediately passed the ball with one hand.

Snapped!

But at this moment, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and Ye Heping directly intercepted the pass.

The Lakers immediately played a fast break, and seeing that they were about to score again, Nash suddenly hugged Ye Heping, who was holding the ball.

Beep beep!

Nash's active foul created a dead ball opportunity, and the Suns took the opportunity to call a timeout.

"Nash's foul is just right. If the Lakers score another goal, the Lakers will completely rise. What a smart player."

"It depends on whether D'Antoni can find a suitable tactic. The Suns need to change."

The commentary booth is also discussing.

Soon, pause back.

Ye He steadily made two free throws and the score was 6:0.

Stoudemire sent a sideline ball, and the moment Nash received the ball, the entire Suns team rushed up, faster than before.

Raiding to the frontcourt, half a meter away from the three-point line, Nash directly raised his hand and shot.

Swish!

The ball pierced the heart with an arrow and made a crisp sound of hitting the net.

6: 3.

The Suns finally opened the scoring for the first time, breaking the scoring drought.

This is Nash's personal ability.

It seems that coach D'Antoni's choice at the critical moment is to give the ball to the core of the team.

And it is worth noting that the Suns no longer blindly wanted to kill inside like they did in the beginning, but stretched the lineup very wide, forcing the Lakers to spread their defense.

The Suns scored, and the Lakers had no chance to play a defensive counterattack, and could only slowly grind their positions.

Odom missed a mid-range jumper after Ye Heping screened.

Marion struggled to protect the rebound in the backcourt, found Nash at the first time, and immediately launched a counterattack.

The Lakers' retreat was not too slow, but after all, there was a heavy-duty center Mihm in the team, and they failed to stand on the defensive position in the first place.

When Stoudemire rushed in, Ye Heping could only be forced to defend first, but the defense on the outside was a bit weak.

Nash's eyes sparkled, and he immediately handed the ball to Ah Q.

Mim rushed over to defend Ah Q, but his speed was limited and he couldn't interfere in time.

Swish!

Ah Q also scored a three-pointer.

This guy is also one of the rare wonders in the league where three-pointers are more accurate than two-pointers.

6: 6.

In an instant, the perfect start played by the Lakers was gone. After all, the three-pointer was one point more than the two-pointer, which can be called a sharp weapon for chasing points.

Looking back, Kobe broke through to attract the Suns to shrink, and then distributed the ball to Ye Heping, who ran out of the opportunity.

Ye Heping made a direct shot against Nash who switched defenses, and Nash couldn't interfere at all.

Swish!

8: 6.

The Lakers regained the lead, and Coach Frank on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was not relieved yet, and the Suns hit an open three-pointer from the bottom corner of Marion.

8: 9.

The Suns overtook it in the blink of an eye.

It really was a blink of an eye, because Coach Frank didn't even take a breath.

The Lakers have done a very good defense and did not give the Suns any chance to get into the penalty area.

But the problem is, the Suns feel really good tonight, no matter how they shoot or score from outside the three-point line.

At the end of the first quarter, at 26:36, the Suns led the Lakers by as much as 10 points.

Throughout the first quarter, they made 10 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, and their three-point shooting percentage was as high as 60%.

"Honestly, the Lakers didn't play badly."

The magician in the commentary booth was a little helpless. He was naturally in a bad mood when he saw his home team being blown away.

"But the Suns played so well!"

Barkley is proud of himself. After all, he is a famous star who has retired his jersey in the Suns, so his feelings needless to say.

Back in the second quarter, the Lakers continued to expand their defense to guard against the Suns' three-pointers.

But in this way, the Lakers' protection of the restricted area is not enough.

Nash took the opportunity to tear the Lakers' defense time and time again, making the Lakers' defense riddled with holes.

At halftime, 54:69, the Suns' lead has reached 15 points.

And scoring 69 points in the half is also the scoring record in the half of this season's playoffs.

During the intermission, the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room was a little depressing.

Ye Heping also sat in the corner and remained silent.

This is the position he has just entered into the assigned position of the Lakers. Although he has more and more voice in the team, even becoming the captain, he has not changed positions.

At this moment, Divac clapped his palms to attract everyone's attention.

"Boys, you guys played really well tonight. The reason why we are still behind is because the sun feels too good. It's not your fault. Cheer up, stick to yourself, come on!"

That's what veterans do.

A family has a treasure, like an old man.

Kobe then stood up and said sternly: "In the second half, we can't just defend. We have to score against a running and bombing team like the Suns. Otherwise, we will never be able to catch up with the 15-point difference."

Everyone nodded.

Ye Heping still sat in his seat, but his mood was much more relaxed. Although he was already the captain of the Lakers, he really didn't have to worry too much about things in the locker room.

There are veterans who untangle everyone's knots, and Kobe strengthens everyone's fighting spirit. I just want to make everyone live a more harmonious and harmonious life.

The Lakers are already a thriving and hard-working team, and they will get better and better eventually.

At the end of the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

(The winner of the jump ball in the first quarter gets the first chance to attack in quarters 1 and 4. The loser gets the first chance to attack in quarters 2 and 3.)

The Lakers replaced Atkins with Vujacic.

At the beginning of the game, Vujacic used his body to force Nash and broke through to score a mid-range jumper.

56: 69.

"Good job!"

The fans on the sidelines were in a commotion, cheering for Vujacic.

This guy's appearance is still quite high, and he played well in these two games, gaining a lot of fans.

The cheers of the fans also made the rookie even more energetic, and the defensive end entangled Nash like a mad dog.

Nash played extremely uncomfortable, facing interference in every move, and the passing effect was not as good as before.

Although the pass is still in place, it is not as stunning as before. The ball is a wonderful pass.

This may be the old saying of beating the master to death with random punches.

Nash's pass was delayed, which also gave the rest of the Lakers more time to defend.

As soon as Marion received the ball, Odom threw himself on his face, tightly blocking Marion's shot space.

The chance is not good, Marion will find Nash again.

But Vujacic clung to Nash tightly, and it was not easy for Nash to catch the ball. He went around half a circle and managed to get the ball with the help of his teammates.

Seeing that time was running out, Nash could only force a shot against Vujacic's defense.

boom!

After failing to make a shot, the Lakers' top three received the rebound and launched a fast break directly.

Kobe ran at the forefront and was surrounded by Nash, Marion, and Ah Q, but after jumping up, he made a clever pass behind the back and handed it to Ye Heping, who followed up.

Ye Heping directly slammed for a dunk.

Bang!

58: 69.

The Lakers started the second half and scored 4 points in a row.
