NBA: Top 6D talents to start

Chapter 228 The Hope of the Warriors

Dudley followed the Suns players back to the locker room after the game. This unintentional move made the Suns players a little sad.

It also dilutes the joy brought by the first win in the playoffs.

Go back to the locker room.

Gortat asked Weidong, "Should I ask Dudley to have a late-night snack?"

"forget it."

Wei Dong waved his hand, "We will make an appointment after the playoffs."

After all, the mentality of the players is still different. The mentality of the Suns is very relaxed. They are invincible when all members are healthy, and the Warriors cannot give up lightly just because the opponent is the Suns.

After all, the two sides are opponents in the playoffs. In the 7-game 4-win format, the Suns have already won one game.

At this time, it seemed somewhat inappropriate to call Dudley out for supper.

Warriors post-game interview press conference.

The reporter asked: "Today's game has been dominated by the Suns. Is it because the Suns are too strong?"

Jackson, "It's hard for you to imagine that there is such a comprehensive team in the league, and all of them are healthy. Last season, the Suns were still struggling for a place in the playoffs. This season, they have become the biggest favorites to win the championship."

The reporter interrupted Jackson, "But the Suns won the championship last season."

"I know."

Jackson said with a straight face: "When Nash and Thompson can only play as substitutes, it is difficult for you to find the weakness of this team."

The reporter asked: "Does that mean that the deal with the Suns was a very stupid decision?"

Jackson, "!!!"

He knew in his heart that when he met the Suns in the playoffs, this matter would definitely be rediscovered by the media, but Jackson refused to answer this question.

In this game, Weidong kept playing in silence, and it was all the other players playing.

Jackson knew in his heart that as long as Weidong was there, even without this deal, it would be difficult for the Warriors to beat the Suns.

Seeing that Jackson didn't want to answer this question, the reporter had to change the question, "Coach Jackson, from a professional point of view, do the Suns really have no shortcomings?"

"Short board?"

Jackson thought for a while, and almost blurted out two words, coach!

But he still held back. If he dared to say this, he would have become enemies with Gentry, and this sentence will definitely be constantly amplified by media reporters.

The first day of the playoffs begins with four games.

Suns 109:92 Warriors.

Heat 86:81 Bucks.

Spurs 97:86 Grizzlies.

Knicks 116:114 Eagles.

The high-ranked teams all won. Except for the Suns vs. Warriors, the other three games were somewhat stalemate, especially the Knicks game, which also played an overtime game. In the end, Anthony scored a three-pointer in overtime to kill the Eagles.

The next day, it was the remaining four games.

Thunder 107:108 Lakers.

Nuggets 103:97 Clippers.

Bulls 113:96 Celtics.

Pacers 107:101 Nets.

The Lakers only ranked seventh in the Western Conference this season, only 1.5 games ahead of the Warriors, but in the first game of the playoffs, Kobe made a lore at the end of the game and defeated the Thunder in an upset.

Two days later, the Suns ushered in a G2 game against the Warriors at home.

Last season, the Suns only lost two games in the playoffs, one each to the Spurs and the Lakers. This year the Suns are stronger, and their goal is to break the winning streak in the playoffs.

Before this, many teams have achieved more than ten consecutive victories in the playoffs. The strongest should be the Lakers in 2001. They only lost one game in the playoffs, losing to Iverson. For the 76ers, Iverson was also the regular season MVP that year.

Dudley and Huang Yu didn't come over to say hello to Weidong when the players were warming up before the game.

This game is also very important for the Warriors. If they can win the Suns, they will have more confidence when they return home.

"Beep!!!"

Game start.

The Warriors have also adjusted their tactical play, avoiding Weidong on the court, and letting Dragic and David play pick-and-rolls.

At the beginning, the Warriors played well, and the score and the sun rose alternately.

Weidong was not in a hurry, he focused on organization and focused on defense when attacking, but Huang Yu was restrained by Weidong, and the first quarter lasted 7 minutes.

Huang Yu made one of three shots and only scored 3 points.

But Curry didn't feel very good either. He played 7 minutes in the first quarter and made 9 of 3 shots, including 7 of 1 three-pointers.

Gentry called a timeout and made substitution adjustments, not to say that the main force did not perform well, but when the time came, the Suns naturally made substitutions and adjustments, and they went up and down again. The main lineup was all taken down, and the substitutes Lineup debut.

19: 18!

When the Suns came off the bench, the Suns only led the Warriors by 1 point.

The Warriors also made substitution adjustments, allowing Dudley to replace David and Morris to replace Barnes, in order to enhance the Warriors' perimeter defense.

The lineup on the field made the home fans a little confused.

Suns: Nash, Thompson, Tucker, Middleton, Frye.

Warriors: Dragic, Dudley, Bynum, Huang Yu, Morris.

It's a little hard to tell which team is the Suns and which is the Warriors. The Warriors' lineup, except for Huang Yu, is all veteran Suns. Huang Yu is from Huaxia, and he can pretend to be Weidong.

This is the way Jackson came up with to deal with the Suns, using the same way to return to him. Dragic and the others are also very familiar with the Suns.

Facts have proved that this lineup worked very well when it first played.

First, Morris interfered with Thompson's shooting, and then Bynum successfully singled Frye using fantasy footsteps under the basket.

4 minutes left before the end of the first quarter.

Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Frye came up to pick and roll, after Nash passed the defender, Frye ran outside the three-point line, Nash flicked his wrist, and passed the ball to Frye who was outside the three-point line.

But Dudley appeared in Nash's passing lane and intercepted the ball.

Similar to the pick-and-roll coordination, the Suns had special training during the training, so when Frye stepped forward to pick-and-roll, Dudley predicted Nash's next move.

Jackson shook his fist violently on the sidelines, "Dudley, the steal is beautiful!"

After stealing Nash, Dudley quickly made a fast break and scored a layup.

19: 22!

The Warriors lead the Suns by 3 points.

After the Suns came off the bench, not only did they fail to widen the point difference, but the score began to fall behind. This is a rare thing.

This reminded Jackson of the Warriors in the 06-07 season.

Back then, the Warriors completed the Black Eight miracle under the leadership of Nelson.

Could it be that if Nelson can do it, he can't?

How similar are the two teams? Nelson was very familiar with the Mavericks back then because he had coached that team.

But today's Warriors are also familiar with the Suns. Dudley, Dragic, Morris, and Bynum were all former Suns players. players.
