Chapter 624 The Defensive System Is Still There

"Oh, this fast break, it's the same as the Knicks' run and gun, not bad!" Zhang Lili exclaimed.

"Haha, Hammer easily got an assist." Yu Jia said.

"However, Frank and D'Antoni have worked together, and he also understands the running and bombing tactics. It is understandable for the Suns to play this kind of offense, haha!"

Zhang Lili laughed loudly.

"Although Marbury is gone, there is still a very fast Barbosa, but his ability is not as strong as Marbury, but he can be used after training." Yu Jia said.

"Yes, I originally thought that the Suns would not be able to play fast breaks in the new season. It seems that I was wrong. The Suns can still play good fast breaks. The point is that Barbosa will be the point guard." Zhang Lili said.

In the next first quarter, the Suns still maintained this lineup.

After one quarter, at 23:32, the Suns led by 9 points.

Li Ba made 4 of 4 shots and 4 of 10 free throws in a single quarter. He scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks, 0 turnovers and 0 fouls.

He was hacked 3 times by Diop, and his free throw percentage was a bit poor, wasting a lot of possessions.

For a big center with height and tonnage like Diop, as long as he is waiting for him at the basket, it is still easy to cut him.

The Suns' outside touch is mediocre, but they have an advantage in rebounding. Later, after Barbosa became the point guard, he strengthened his fast break tactics, which was one of the reasons for the subsequent widening of the point difference.

In the second quarter, the two sides made shots off the bench.

On the Sun's side, Antonio McDyess and Dazhi partnered inside, Tony Allen on the front line, and Lagabel and Payton on the back line.

For the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki did not end, Dampier, who made two offenses, came up again, and Josh Howard on the front line did not go down, coupled with the back line combination of Devin Harris and Darrell Armstrong.

Antonio McDyess has a somewhat similar style to Dazhi. He can shoot mid-range and long-range shots, but his low-post offense is not very good, but his rebounding ability is not bad.

Over the past two seasons, after arduous strength training, his weight has reached 120 kg, and his muscle mass has also improved. Although his mobility has declined a bit, his confrontation ability has improved considerably.

This increased the consistency of his shot, and in the preseason, his scoring ability improved.

Li Ba's suggestion to him is to continue to use strength training this season to lose weight and bring his weight back to 115 kg.

Dazhi's weight is actually not light, but the muscle mass is not too high, and the body fat rate is high. Only through strength training can there be some improvement.

Dampier's offense is weak and his defense is strong, but Antonio McDyess and Dazhi are both pulling out to shoot. His defense can't keep up, and Dazhi frequently catches open shots.

At the end of the first quarter, the insiders of the two sides combined to present a situation of mutual explosion.

Little General Johnson was a little disappointed. He wanted to chase points in this quarter, but he didn't expect the Suns to be so strong inside the bench?

He is very familiar with Dazhi, which was caused by his father, but Dazhi now is better than a few years ago.

At halftime, 47:54, the Suns still led by 7 points, the Mavericks took turns playing, and only caught up by two points in the second quarter.

"Dazhi played well with this McDyess today!" Yu Jia shouted.

"Big and stronger. This Mike didn't play much in the last two seasons, and he was always on the injured list. Now it seems that the injury has recovered. But the reason for the mutual explosion is that the Mavericks' interior defense is not very good. Dampier can't defend, he can't defend Dazhi." Zhang Lili said.

"However, looking at it this way, the Suns' bench lineup is pretty good," Yu Jia said.

Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "Then you have to be more cautious, you can't say that you can withstand the Mavericks' bench lineup, the Suns' bench lineup is fine.

You must know that the Mavericks' sixth man, Jerry Stackhouse, is absent due to injury. It is said that he will rest for at least 15 games. The Mavericks' bench lineup and outside strength are not complete.

And whether it is Mike or Dazhi, inside defense is a problem. Mike is only 100 kilograms, and the tonnage is too small, which means that Dampier has no offensive ability. "

"That's right, Mr. Zhang's analysis makes sense." Yu Jia said with a smile.

Come back at halftime and the game continues.

The Mavericks returned to the starting lineup in the first quarter, and the Suns changed.

In the third quarter, Li Ba, Marion, Battier, Tony Allen, Barbosa.

Seeing this lineup, Zhang Lili laughed and said, "Looking at it this way, the Suns' defensive system is still there!"

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Like Marbury, Barbosa has spent two seasons in the Suns, and his defense has improved a lot. Tony Allen is said to be a fan of the Hammers. Judging from his rookie season, he has already revealed The potential of defensive champions. Mr. Zhang, you are right, I think this lineup is better than the starting lineup just now."

"Look, Lagabel is still sitting on the bench, and he is also a defensive player on the back line. With Payton, the defense of the back line of the bench lineup is also alive. But the inside defense of the bench lineup is no longer good. , Without Chandler, the strength has dropped a lot."

Frank still played one inside and four outside, but after playing for half a quarter, he found a problem. Tony Allen didn't have a three-pointer.

Tony Allen has a good breakthrough ability, and he also shoots from a fixed point, but he doesn't have a three-pointer, so he can't pull out the opposing players. This does not meet the tactical requirements of one big, four small, one inside and four outside.

After the third quarter, the score was 73:78, and the Suns still lead.

In the fourth quarter, Frank adjusted the lineup again, replacing Tony Allen with Lagabel.

Lagabel's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40.3% last season, but he didn't take many shots. He averaged 2.1 shots per game and made 0.9 of them, but he has the potential to make three-pointers.

"Shoot when you get a chance." Frank urged before going on stage.

Lagabel's defense is better than Tony Allen's now, and he still has three points. As soon as he plays, Frank's big four small tactics can be played better.

"Brothers, Section 4, blast them!"

Li Ba didn't go all out today because the season started and the lineup needs to be adjusted, but victory is still necessary.

"Fuck them!"

The generals of the sun responded loudly.

"Fuck them to death!" Li Ba roared violently.

"Fuck them to death!" The audience responded loudly.

This year's strength is not as good as last season, and the management lacks confidence in defending the title, but Li Ba does not intend to give up. He wants to defend the title with all his strength, so he intends to create a fierce spirit for the team.

Fierce aura, ferocious style of play, every game, like a pack of wild wolves, tearing the opponent to pieces, making those opponents feel scared when they see the Suns.

"Speaking so rudely when the big hammer is playing!" Liu Yifei pouted on the sidelines.

However, there seemed to be no resentment, and she found it very strange.

Sun attack.

Barbosa advanced quickly, and the Suns also rushed into the frontcourt quickly.

Li Ba rushed to the basket, and Dampier stepped forward.

On the right wing, Nowitzki released Marion three steps, ready to help defend the basket.
