Chapter 152 The tragedy of 1 minute and 30 seconds
In the Lakers' preparation room, they were watching the Suns' game video.
During this period, Phil Jackson would give some advice in time.
Weisha is more concerned about Steve Nash's game, and he has completed another version of "I want to make this team turn 360 degrees" but it is just a story from last year to this year.
The Suns in 2004 had nothing to do: they just finished a season with 29 wins and 53 losses; their coach of Flack Johnson and Mike D'Antoni, who coached Benetton, Italy, were unable to make it happen. Their sophomore Stoudemire averaged 21 points and 9 rebounds per game, Sean Marion played 79 games per game, and third-year guard Joe Johnson found the data that felt averaged 1,755, but it was not possible to win.
Ssol was implemented in the Suns—seven seconds or less—referred to as the seven-second fast attack system. If you need to attribute it, there are only two concepts: 7-second fast attack and V-word offense.
Since last season, the initial set-up of the Suns has always been as follows: the shooting guard and small forward are close to the bottom corner three-point line, and the power forward (Maryon or Dior) or center (Stodemire) are at high positions and Nash pick-and-roll. Because the shooter pulls the corner, Nash, Stoudemire or Marion always has very little room for movement; while the opponent tries to double-team three-point shooters, so Nash or Dior can easily pass the ball.
Nash is the opener of this offense. The key to the offense is two concepts: fast passes and high pick-and-roll.
After many years of hard work in Dallas, almost no one on the planet is more familiar with these two moves than Nash. In the 2004-05 season, the Suns, driven by Nash, won 62 games. Their rhythm was the fastest in the league. They shot 2,026 three-pointers in the NBA record, and made 796 rounds in the NBA record.
They took everything: Coach of the Year, Manager of the Year, and three players were selected as All-Stars (Nash, Stoudemire, Marion);
Nash defeated the Sharks' last dominant season in his career, relying on his fabulous transformation of the Suns - who can believe that this was his first assist king? - He won the regular season MVP, which left the Sharks with a grudge for more than ten years.
He even led the Suns all the way to the Western Conference Finals, losing to the season champion San Antonio Spurs. Although the whole world will pay attention to the miracle of Marion being banned by Bowen in this series and Stoudemire's average of 37 points per game, he rarely noticed that the Suns' big defeat was because Joe Johnson was injured against the Mavericks in the Western Conference semi-finals.
In the summer of 2005, the Sun encountered a major crisis: after just signing 73 million in five years, Stoudemire immediately stopped injured; Joe Johnson and Richardson were proud and left with a big contract. The Sun generals went to the third, and their martial arts were gone.
This is the Suns that the Lakers are about to face.
One of the two best teams in the Western Conference last season is now a remnant team. The main players either leave or are reimbursed. Nash brought Marion and passers-by A and passers-by B who were raised from the bench into the new season.
Wei Xia originally thought that the Zen master would let him defend Nash.
As a result, Phil Jackson said: "Wish, you will be the starter tonight."
The atmosphere in the preparation room suddenly became quiet, and everyone seemed to hear each other's heartbeat. Teammates gave Wei Xia a slightly encouraging look, and Wei Xia thought it was not that simple.
Look at Jackson's eyes, it's not the look of "I'm very optimistic about you, come on."
"I won't let you down."
If Weisha knew what Jackson expected of him, he should add "try as much as possible" to the front of this sentence.
"Okay, that's the sharpness I want to see." Jackson said to Weisha with a smile, "I need you to stare at Sean Marion."
"Shit..." Weaver made a sound of air conditioning like a bat.
"Vaughan, are you uncomfortable?" Jackson locked him in an instant.
He would not allow a rookie to interrupt his arrangement at this time.
Weaver looked at Wei Xia sadly, "I'm just... so happy for wish..."
"Thank you," Wei Xia played a cold humor, "I received your blessing."
Many people in the preparation room laughed out loud, and it was hard for Wei Xia to make them laugh now. From the beginning of Jackson's statement that he wanted Wei Xia and Marion to play against each other, he knew that their coach was not at ease.
Last night, Bus Jr. just spoke to the media through his confidant. He let Wei Xia start the next day. On the surface, he followed the advice of the little boss, but letting Wei Xia play against Marion, who is called a small forward and is actually a power forward, which is simply a moth to the flames.
"Wish, are you sure?"
Walking out of the preparation room, Bynum asked in person.
Wei Xia looked nothing wrong, "I hope (wish) I have."
"Everything will be fine," Bynum encouraged in the form of a child.
Wei Xia had no other reaction except to roll her eyes. During training, he asked Kobe for advice on Marion's skills. Kobe just asked him to protect himself from being injured. He didn't understand, is Marion very dirty? He had never heard of it. Later he understood.
Kobe asked him to pay attention to protecting himself, which had nothing to do with Marion's style of playing.
That night, Weisha played for the first time at Staples Center.
In order to cheer him, Jim Bass personally brought people to the scene, and he also called Mickey Kupchek.
Since Kupchek used the 12-draft pick to get the signing rights of the Trail Blazers on draft night, his relationship with Bus Jr. has become closer.
Buss Jr. discovers that Kupchek is not his enemy, Jackson and Jenny are.
"I didn't expect Phil to be so obedient this time. He would have done this way, so I wouldn't be embarrassed with him!" Little Bus leaned proudly on the sofa in the suite.
He has learned through the live big screen that Wei Xia has entered the starting list.
"Maybe, Phil is a strange person. His use of players is usually not affected by the outside world." Kupchek was almost telling Buss to not be too happy too early.
In the opening game, Cote Thomas jumped to win Chris Meim.
The Lakers, who are used to losing the ball at the beginning, don't mind Mim losing to Thomas, who is not as tall and wingspan as him. If they win, everyone will feel strange.
"I actually let wish and Sean Marion match?" said Henry Gillen, epsn's narrator, in surprise.
Next to Gillen was NBA 50 superstar Bill Walton.
When Walton saw the Lakers' matchup distribution, he said bluntly: "It seems that Coach Jackson wants to give Visa some challenges."
Marion's official weight is 100 kilograms, which looks like only 8 kilograms more than Weisha. After contacting him, Weisha believed that his weight was much more than that.
The confrontation with him made Wei Xia re-experience the difficult years of playing power forward for the first time in college.
The Lakers' defense limits the Suns' seven-second offensive system well.
Their first attack took 3x7 seconds to attack.
In total, Nash drifted past Parker with a sudden change in rhythm and killed the penalty area. Although the opponent was MVP last season, Wei Xia thought his style was very suitable for the match between Feng Zi. If he was a coach, he would not use himself to run with Marion.
This feeling is like a black silk control watching science and education films patiently waiting for the teacher's class to enter the focus, but they took off the black silk. Isn't this a disappointment?
Nash came in, and Wei Xia's awareness of assisting defense made him give up Marion, intending to block his pass while blocking the breakthrough route.
Nash's pass penetrated his assisting defense like the wind. He rushed back to the position, but Marion hit the mid-range shot with a 38-style shot.
2 to 0
Kobe opened up at a high position and prepared to play singles.
The Zen master doesn't like him like this.
Kobe's excellent escape, coupled with the experienced tentative steps, dribbled the ball under his crotch, and finally shot with a picturesque backward shot - a gorgeous iron shot, and slid out of the basket.
The Sun's offensive pace is amazingly fast.
Nash passed a long pass and chased three points in the frontcourt, but missed.
The Lakers fought back, and Wei Xia received the ball and hit Mim. Mim didn't seize the opportunity and still missed the shot from close range. Nash continued to push the rhythm, let alone the 7-second attack, this attack took at most 5 seconds because he scored another three-pointer.
Kobe chased back and took the defensive rebound. He fought back and forth with Marion and then touched the ball once, Wei Xia was suddenly abandoned by the hackers on the outside.
Kobe transferred the ball to Wei Xia after encountering double teaming.
Wei Xia, who was hit, had no touch, made a three-pointer, but the touch was not right, and this goal was not possible.
Bang!
Sure enough, fortunately, Wei Xia predicted that the moment she was not in the shooting, and chose the right position. When the rebound flew towards him, he took the offensive rebound as fast as possible.
As a result, Marion fought fiercely and was not allowed to foul. Laga Bell behind him was like an African second brother who was good at stealing his butt and forced Wei Xia into a mistake.
"Damn it, did these guys regard wish as Kobe?" Bass roared.
Kupchek smiled calmly and said, "Do you still think Phil is very obedient now?"
Bass didn't understand the ball very well. He heard Kupchek's question and touched his conscience and said, "We are more realistic... At this minute of the game, Wish did not play well."
"What if the Suns asked Steve Nash to defend Kobe?" Kupchek was very clear.
"you mean?"
"If you want to defend Sean Marion, you will have such a result. Maybe it will be different in the future, but for the current wish, he is not suitable to match Sean."
After a few words, Wei Xia was called a foul due to some small details during the positioning process with Marion.
Before he could adapt to the strength of the match against the hacker, Jackson replaced him.
Chapter completed!
