In later generations, the Chinese gave Nash the nickname "Son of the Wind". This was partly because of his personal speed, and partly because under his command, the Suns' offensive speed was always as fast as the wind.
During the fast break, as soon as Nash came on the court, he quickly led the basketball towards the Toto team's basket. Fast break pays attention to the word "fast", but it does not mean it is called fast break just because it is fast. Just like just now, when Nash didn't play, the offensive and defensive rhythms of both teams on the field were very fast, but this couldn't be called a fast break at all. To put it bluntly, just now could be described as a random beating. .
It¡¯s also fast, but this time the Western team¡¯s offensive thinking is suddenly more than a little clearer than before. It can be described as completely reborn. From this point, we can see how a good point guard can be of great help to a team. At this point, we may be able to understand McMillan's huge resentment, and the reason why Barkley, who is obviously a SuperSonics fan, continues to ridicule Ridnour endlessly.
Of course, all these changes cannot be entirely attributed to Nash. Basketball is a team sport. No matter how strong a person is, he cannot lead an invincible team without suitable teammates.
As we all know, the SuperSonics are a typical fast break team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have fast break in their bones and blood. There is also Duncan. The Spurs are known for their tight defense, but don't forget that just last year, Chamberlain was a pivotal member of this team. Chamberlain copied the "bombing tactics" of the Suns in later generations, allowing this famous team in odd-numbered years to win a championship trophy that should not have belonged to them in even-numbered years for the first time. So of course Duncan will not be unfamiliar with this tactic.
There are five people in a team, and four of them have studied fast breaks professionally. Only Garnett is not that good at this tactic. So when the remaining four people flew towards the opponent's half along a clear route, our great "Wolf King" temporarily became the only shortcoming of this temporary team. Like a headless fly, blindly following everyone around. Well, every team will have one or two "black sheep", although this horse is relatively big-name. But it doesn¡¯t hurt.
"The Western team launched a fast break. Nash passed the ball, passed the ball, passed the ball quickly, oh, passed it, that's right. Um" This kind of fast break originated from the Suns. Very beautiful. Stimulated by such a beautiful attack, Teacher Zhang instantly became a little incoherent. However, the attitude must never be forgotten. Even when Teacher Zhang was dazzled, he still did not forget to urge the ball as always.
During the All-Star game, the defense was very lazy. Being attacked by Nash and his teammates, the Eastern Conference heroes, as opponents, seemed even more at a loss. But there's always a wrong move. Well, we can also understand it this way. It was like an earthquake. The chaos in the stadium just now couldn't help but have aftershocks.
At this time, the position of his teammates was very good. James was one step away from Ray Allen, and Carter was almost as far away from Duncan. Fatty fell behind even more at this time, when Chamberlain reached his basket. He had just run through half the court with great effort, so at this time, Nash had the idea of ????showing off his repertoire with the inside line - alley-oop. It was so good that he didn't want to die, but he actually threw it directly over the head of Carter, who had invincible jumping.
"Bang!" Carter reflexively slapped the basketball above his head when Nash passed the ball.
The Western team¡¯s fast break failed. The direct consequence was that O'Neal, who was running behind everyone, grabbed the ball blocked by Carter, rushed to the Western basket with the ball and dunked successfully.
??Most things are like this, many beautiful things are always composed of countless flaws. Williams and Nash are such gorgeous passing masters. Behind every wonderful pass, there is always a slight mistake.
After all, they are not familiar teammates. In this attack, Nash learned the lesson just now and slowed down the rhythm of controlling the ball slightly. Nash's basketball IQ is very high, which is no secret in the NBA. Otherwise, he would not have understood D'Antoni's tactics so thoroughly in his first season back in Phoenix. The former No. 14 pick of Phoenix returned to his first NBA team in his twilight years, bringing a huge surprise to the fans here.
"Compared with the speed of the Suns, the SuperSonics and Spurs, who are still playing fast, are slower in terms of offensive speed, and pay more attention to the position changes and cooperation between players. Almost instantly, Nash figured this out.
¡°The ball-control center¡± is a characteristic shared by these two teams.
"Bang!" Just after halftime, Nash dropped the ball into Chamberlain's hands. An excellent point guard is the most important thingThe ability is to implement different tactics according to the different characteristics of the players on the field. This is why point guards are called "on-the-spot commanders."
Chamberlain needed the ball in his hands, and Nash understood this, so he passed the ball, and unlike Ridnour, he chose the right time to pass the ball. Chamberlain, who is at full speed, is obviously not something O'Neal can keep up with, so James, another second-year player on the court, has speed, height, strength, and ideas, and becomes the best candidate to defend Chamberlain.
James was running hard, and just when he was about to catch up with Chamberlain, Nash suddenly passed the ball. At this time, there was no one under the basket, and Chamberlain was the leading arrow among all players.
Chamberlain can easily put the basketball into the basket, but don't forget, this is a performance game. The moment Chamberlain caught the ball, James used his strength. It is natural for James to lose to anyone on the court, because he is a rookie, but the only person he cannot lose to is Chamberlain. There are elements of competition and old grudges. He can never forget that the Cavaliers are In the SuperSonics game, because of Chamberlain's suppression, there was a humiliating defeat by a huge score.
"Ah!" James roared, his face a bit ferocious, and he forcibly increased his speed a little. But on the contrary, at this moment, Chamberlain actually took a big step backwards diagonally to the right.
With his eyes always fixed on the basket, Chamberlain tossed the basketball behind him seemingly casually.
Within two seconds of Nash passing the ball, he caught the basketball again. What's amazing is that at this moment, Nash had just completed the pick-and-roll with Ray Allen, and Chamberlain accurately passed the basketball to his hands without making any observations.
"The tacit understanding between the assist kings!" The on-site commentator who explained this game gave this pass a slightly mysterious attribution.
The assist was so wonderful, only the final word was left, but obviously, Nash, who was in the open space, felt that a simple jump shot somewhat slandered the pass. The moment he took possession of the basketball, Nash was like juggling, without any observation, he threw the basketball high from his back.
"Ah!" Garnett, who seemed to be holding him back, suddenly jumped up towards the basketball like a vermin after seeing blood.
"Bang!" With the basketball stand shaking violently, the game entered the first part. But that's not all. After the power amplifier rotation, James made a three-pointer on the spot and passed through the net steadily. Nash once again held the ball and launched a fast break.
The scene was almost similar to the last time. Nash still passed the ball to Chamberlain across the center line. Chamberlain passed the ball back in the same way, and then Nash continued to choose to move the basketball into the air like an addict.
The same alley-oop, but this time the final choice was Duncan. After all, it¡¯s not often that a blind cat encounters a dead mouse. Duncan, who is more familiar with this tactic, appears exactly where he should appear this time.
"Point guard!" The team played so wonderfully and the tactics ran so smoothly. McMillan looked at Nash, his eyes unblinking with inexplicable greed.
"Substitute." Looking at it, McMillan couldn't resist the temptation in his heart. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he chose to substitute again. The one he substituted this time was not suitable for this tactic. Garnett, replaced by Alonzo Mourning.
Chamberlain, Ray Allen, Mourning, the Supersonic Iron Triangle, finally gathered on this extremely special stage.
Chamberlain should not be a center. In McMillan's mind, Chamberlain should not bear too much defensive responsibility. In his heart, defense is always more important than offense, but Chamberlain alone always believes that he should be freed from defense.
When Chamberlain did not need to face O'Neal, and when Duncan took over the important task of defending O'Neal, Chamberlain's state on the court could no longer be described as simply being like a fish in water.
Chamberlain passes the ball, or Nash passes the ball. Led by these two passing masters who can be called great commanders, the West set off a terrifying scoring frenzy.
Ray Allen and Nash top the league in three-point stunts. Chamberlain and Mourning's steady mid-range shots, and Duncan's 45-degree rebound shot like his face, the Western team almost made every shot in the next few minutes.
33:24, in the ninth minute of the game, the rhythm was completely controlled by the Western team, and Van Gundy chose to make a substitution. He replaced O'Neal, whose speed could not keep up with his opponent, and defensive expert Ben Wallace came on. At the same time, he replaced James, whose role on the court was not very obvious, and replaced him with the "Phoenix Man" Arenas.
ps: Thank you for the reward for helping me change my clothes. I haven¡¯t seen anyone supporting me in this way for a long time. I burst into tears!
I watched the 2005 All-Star Game yesterday. I didn¡¯t see the performance. What I saw was complete chaos. Friends who are interested can go and watch it.
