Chapter 431 The Youth Storm Belonging to the Suns

"It's beautiful!" Zhang Lili and Su Qun laughed.

Old K made 11 of 7 free throws in the second quarter, plus 6 of 1 free throws in the first quarter, a total of 17 of 8 free throws, and the shooting percentage has reached 47%.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the second quarter, so he decided to keep trying.

Not long after, after the second quarter, Pharaoh was fouled again and made two free throws again. In the second quarter, he made 13 of 9 free throws, and his shooting percentage was close to 70%.

Then Lao Wang stormed the basket and scored a goal, and then the second quarter ended, 50:55, and the Suns led by 5 points.

王铁军上场23分钟，只休息1分钟，8投4中，19罚10中，拿到了18分9篮板3助攻1抢断3盖帽2失误2犯规的数据。

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Constrained by Campbell and the postman in the first half, and troubled by foul tactics, Tiejun took few shots, and his field goal percentage and free throws were still slightly lower than normal. Although the second quarter improved, the overall efficiency still declined. The Jazz's defensive tactics against him were still successful.

Then the coaching staff of the Suns should be careful. It is very possible that the Jazz will use the same method to defend the Iron Army in the next game, and in the future series, or even other teams, such as if they reach the finals.

Although the Jazz are behind now, both Campbell and the postman have taken rotations. Their physical condition must be better than in the second half of the G1 game. The Suns should pay attention to the second half.

Regarding Tie Jun, I guess Danny Ainge would not dare to let him rest, so during the intermission, he should relax. "

Su Qun said: "In terms of physical fitness, Director Zhang, I don't think Old K will have any problems."

Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "Don't be careless. Although he didn't play a few balls in the first half, most of the offense has to go through his hands. Every time it goes into his hands, there will be confrontation, and his physical energy will be consumed a lot."

The Suns returned to the locker room, and several coaches discussed the tactics for the second half in the corridor.

Although D'Antoni knew he couldn't stay, he still reminded: "I think it is necessary to reduce the number of old K's touches and transfer the offense to other people. This can reduce his physical consumption and let others share his defensive pressure."

Danny Ainge, Lewis and Nelson Jr. looked at each other and shook their heads.

This game is very critical. As long as they win the second home game, they will be confident in the next two away games. Otherwise, if the Jazz win the away game in a one-to-one tie, their morale will definitely skyrocket.

D'Antoni's suggestion is undoubtedly to lower the tactical status of old K, which they do not agree with.

Now this Suns team, the Lightning has begun to be a little unable to bear the heavy responsibility of the outside core. Kidd's offensive efficiency is not enough, there is no one at the second position, and Rasheed Wallace can't bear the heavy responsibility of the offensive core.

Even if old K is defended by the Jazz in this way, his efficiency is higher than others. If he lowers his tactical status, isn't he looking for a loser?

Danny Ainge shook his head and said: "Today, the outside touch is mediocre, many open balls passed by the old K failed to hit, we need to strengthen the mid-range shot and breakthrough scoring.

My opinion is that the old K will continue to be the main player in the second half. After he gets the ball, if he can’t get to the basket, the weak side players should step up the inside cut to double-team the old K. If the old K scores the ball, the inside cut player can play a more efficient offense. "

"Agreed." Lewis and Nelson nodded at the same time.

Nelson Jr. said: "Lightning is tired. I suggest that the substitute go up and charge. Wilkins' speed is not enough. Chapman's body is too fragile. He mainly uses jump shots. He can easily be injured by the postman and Campbell when he rushes in. Kobe should be the most suitable."

Danny Ainge nodded and said: "Kobe is young, didn't play much in the playoffs, and has plenty of energy."

Lewis also said: "Kobe often trains with the old K. He and the old K's strong and weak cooperation is actually not bad, and the degree of tacit understanding is relatively high. You can really try it."

D'Anoni shook his head secretly, blindly relying on the old K. Once the old K performed abnormally or was defended to death, the team would be over.

It's too early to make changes in time. Today's game is too bad. As long as the Jazz exert their strength, they will lose the points they are leading now.

In the locker room, the atmosphere is good, after all, the team is still in the leading position.

"Old K, I didn't play for a minute in the Western Conference Finals G1 game. Looking at today, I don't have a chance to play again. Can't you be more energetic and save some garbage time, let me play for a few minutes?" Kobe complained.

Lao Wang waved the sweating towel over and shouted, "Rookie, go quickly and give me a hot towel."

"Treat me like this now, sooner or later your son will fall into my hands."

Kobe wanted to throw away the towel, but he was afraid of being beaten, so he grabbed the towel on his body and went into the bathroom, muttering incessantly.

When Old Wang heard Kobe's words, he sneered in his heart, Kobe, you think too much, Dabao doesn't know how talented that kid is, if he doesn't have talent, I won't let him in, why not go to the entertainment circle?

Thinking of Dabao, he still misses him a little bit. He came to the United States not long after he was born, and this time he goes back, um, try to add a brother or sister to him, so that he can have a companion.

At this time, Kobe rubbed a hot towel and came out, squeezed his ass between Lao Wang and Lightning, and said in a low voice: "Old K, you fight hard, get them in the third quarter, let me try in the last quarter!"

Lightning next to him smiled and said, "Rookie, what if you mess up?"

"What else can he do besides cold salad?" Old Wang said casually.

"Yes, it's cold salad." Kobe nodded.

"Snapped!"

Lao Wang slapped Kobe on the back of the neck, then squeezed his five fingers, lifted him up, pushed him forward, and cursed: "Fuck off! You messed up the Western Conference Finals, and you are going to sit on the bench for a season."

Kobe said angrily: "You are the one who said cold salad, and you are blaming me again?"

"You're not big, and you're still angry. After the playoffs, I'll help you call some girls to get rid of the anger." Lao Wang laughed.

"Your treat?" Kobe asked.

"Hey, listen to what you mean, do you still dare to skip orders? Be careful of being sued. Kobe, don't be stingy when you go out to play, and you must pay what you should spend. You have to learn from Jordan, and you must give a full [-]% of the tip. It will be more decent." Old Wang persuaded.

"Haha..." The others all laughed.

"Where did I want to escape the order? Didn't you say you were going to have a pool party?" Kobe shouted angrily, but everyone was laughing, no one paid attention to him, and he was so angry that he groaned.

"Okay, okay, listen to me."

At this time, Danny Ainge came in, clapped his hands to signal silence, and then said: "The Jazz will definitely go all out in the third quarter. Campbell and the postman have both had ample rest, and we will face great difficulties.

Old K, do you have any questions? "

Lao Wang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with my physical fitness."

"OK, that's good."

Danny Angie nodded reassuringly, and continued: "They will definitely continue to guard against you, so we must increase the offense on the weak side.

But today the outside touch is mediocre. In order to improve efficiency, I am going to let the new force come on the court and rush. You should pay attention to the teammates who cut inside when passing the ball. "

"Okay, I will pay attention." Old Wang nodded.

And Kobe was excited, new force, who else?West finals, here I come!

"coach?"

He looked excitedly at Danny Ainge.

Unexpectedly, Danny Angie looked at Wilkins and didn't notice him at all, which made him feel cold.

"Dominic, you play a dozen in the first half of the third quarter, half the quarter, let Horry take a break." Danny Ainge said.

"no problem."

Wilkins nodded quickly.

The veteran is a little nervous now. He played so well in the regular season this year, and the first two rounds of the playoffs were also good. Now the Western Conference Finals is a bit difficult. Will there be any problems?

He really hopes to contribute his strength, but it's a pity that his state this year is obviously not as good as last year, and he is powerless.

Next, Danny Angie told Chapman to prepare for it. If Wilkins couldn't stand it, he would go up.

Danny Ainge can't help it either, Wilkins has no defense, Chapman's defense is even worse, let them both go up, just hope their offense can make up for their loss on the defensive end.

In this way, he didn't dare to let these two play more time in the playoffs, and he could only let them stand up when the main players needed to breathe.

"What about me?" Kobe asked reluctantly.

Only then did Danny Ainge turn his attention to Kobe, and said seriously: "Kobe, you play the second position instead of Lightning..."

"Great! Western Conference Finals, here I come!"

Kobe clenched his fists and shouted in his heart: "Give me a chance, I can score 20+ in the Western Conference Finals."

"Kobe, take the opportunity to cut inside from the weak side after playing. I want you to rush in and play. I want to attack efficiently in the low post and at the basket. Don't shoot outside." Danny Ainge urged.

"Yes, coach, breakthrough is what I am best at now." Kobe said confidently.

"Little blacksmith, blacksmithing is what you are best at." Old Wang added.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

"Old K, you are hurting my morale." Kobe said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, your morale is gone? That's fine, let's replace it." Old Wang said along the way.

Kobe said coldly: "Who said I have no morale? Your method is too childish, and it doesn't affect me. Now I feel that one-on-two is no problem."

"Rookie, where do you want to [-]v[-]?" Horry asked curiously.

"Of course it's on the court, where else?" Kobe said angrily.

"Haha..." The locker room burst into laughter.

In 15 minutes, Pharaoh ate two bananas slowly, replenished his energy, and felt full of blood.

He struggled a bit in the first half. One reason was the Jazz, which really restricted him. The constant double-teams and free throws made him lose the rhythm of the game.

The second is their own reasons, with some reservations. Facing the double-teaming of Campbell and the postman, they did not go all out to hit the basket, but were prepared to compete in the second half.

At this time, the intermission ended and the players of both sides reappeared.

The Jazz played all the main players, while the Suns replaced Kobe and Wilkins.

Barkley was surprised and said: "There is no problem in the third position. Russell is a role player with average strength, so Wilkins can do it, but a rookie is allowed to go up in the second position. Danny Ainge is full of courage!"

"It's like letting Lightning go down to rest. I think it is necessary. He is a point guard himself, and playing a shooting guard may consume more energy for him." Bill Walton analyzed.

Bass Felton said with a smile: "The defense of the second position is very important. Jeff Hornacek can't let it go. This is very considering the rookie's defense."

At this time the game started, the Jazz attacked.

"brush!"

Small forward Russell made a fake shot and hit a three-pointer over Wilkins.

"53:55, the Jazz are still two points behind." Bas Felton said.

"Who said just now that Russell can't do it, it's okay to go to Wilkins?" Bill Wharton asked with a smile.

Barkley smiled and said: "Wilkins lost points on the defensive end, he should be able to get them back on the offensive end."

"shrink!"

The Suns attacked, and Jerry Sloan stood on the sidelines, pinched his hands fiercely in the middle, and made a firm gesture of shrinking defense.

He has seen the current lineup of the Suns. Wilkins is not good at outside jump shots, and rookie Kobe Bryant's jump shots are also very unstable.

As the Suns pushed forward, Russell released Wilkins, Jeff Hornacek released Kobe, and the Postman released Rasheed Wallace, all while shrinking outside the paint, in addition to Stockton playing against Kidd.

Seeing the opponent shrinking his defense, he felt a little flustered, Danny Ainge wiped his forehead, and there was a thin layer of sweat on it.

"Replacing two players who can shoot three-pointers at once, the Suns' ability to stretch is seriously insufficient..." Barkley didn't finish his sentence, and the Suns' offense began.

Relying on his height advantage, Kidd passed the ball from the top of Stockton's head to the low post on the left wing.

The moment the ball was released, the postman in the low post on the right immediately pounced on the low post on the left wing with all his strength, and began to implement weak side defense.

At the same time, Russell on the left did not hesitate at all, and rushed towards Wang Tiejun who was two steps away.

"No, no tactics."

When Danny Ainge saw this, he knew that his tactics had failed. When the ability to stretch was insufficient, the Jazz shrank their defense and wanted to play inside tactics from the outside. There were all people inside. How could it be possible?

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Wang Tiejun carried Campbell with his left elbow, suddenly took a step up, and caught the ball with one hand during the jump.

Taking a step up to catch the ball, he just avoided the postman's double-team, but when he landed, he happened to collide with Russell who was under the double-team.

"Oh!"

The small forward Russell didn't have any resistance, and he fell directly behind and hit the floor.

The referee did not have any intention of blowing the whistle, and both sides were on the move, which was a normal confrontation.

At this time, Kobe was struggling to insert from the back of Jeff Hornacek according to the tactical requirements, and cut into the paint area.

"Whoosh!"

Wang Tiejun saw Kobe's thrusting action, and threw forward with one hand, and the ball flew in front of Kobe.

As soon as Kobe emerged from behind Hornacek, he saw the ball flying towards him. The position was just right, and he quickly caught the ball with both hands.

"Damn!"

The postman and Campbell on the left side of the basket wanted to return to the defense, but they were too late.

"It's over!"

Hornacek was also caught off guard. He didn't expect Kobe behind him to get in front of him. He didn't react until Kobe made a layup.

"Pretty!"

Su Qun and Zhang Lili shouted excitedly at the same time.

"ah!"

Danny Angie jumped up excitedly and threw his arm violently.

On the field, Lao Wang returned to defense and shouted at Kobe: "Little blacksmith, you did a good job."

"Old K, I will help you." The excited Kobe said confidently.

"Don't be complacent, those who stare at you to death." Lao Wang immediately reminded.

"Yes." Kobe replied loudly.

Later, Russell got up, feeling some pain in his lower back and a bit of muscle strain, but he endured it and didn't ask to end.

53:57, the Suns lead, the Jazz attack,

Coming to the frontcourt, Russell made a shot just now. Stockton knew how bad Wilkins' defense was, so he deliberately passed the ball to Russell again, wanting him to hit another one.

He thought well, but Russell was injured just now. After a tentative step, he suddenly felt pain in his lower back, made a mistake, and was intercepted by Wilkins.

"The ball has been stolen! Wilkins has stolen the ball! Kobe is about to play, and our little blacksmith is flying!" A live commentator immediately screamed excitedly.

Kobe rushed to the front of the players on both sides, threw away the 34-year-old Hornacek, received a pass from Wilkins, cut in from the left wing, and took off directly on the left waist of the paint area.

"boom!"

A one-handed tomahawk-style split buckle immediately detonated the audience.

"Oh ho ho..."

After completing the dunk, the excited Kobe jumped up and down, screaming and waving to the home fans for applause.

The home fans did not let him down either, cheers and applause continued.

"This is a youthful storm belonging to the Phoenix Suns. Kobe's playing immediately made this game full of vitality." Barkley roared excitedly.

Bill Walton nodded and said, "Let the young man charge forward, and the old K will hold the rhythm behind. The Suns still have hope of winning this game."
