Chapter 493: Stoudemire's provocation

"Boys, don't patronize and fight for speed with them. When we are defensive, we must put them into position as much as possible." Paul Silas said to the players who came back from the field.
"It's not easy, Paul. They have a rhythm from start to finish. They receive and serve, receive the ball, turn into a fast break, and launch. It only takes seven or eight seconds from the bottom line to the shot. Our position has not yet fallen. They shot." James said.
　　 "Da Juan," Silas called.
　　 "Yes." Wagner immediately took a step forward.
"Have you noticed that almost all the Suns offenses are launched around Nash, so I want you to lead the defense and not give him the opportunity to easily advance and pass the ball, do you understand?" Silas ordered Tao.
　　 "Yeah!" Wagner nodded heavily, taking on this difficult task.
　　......
　　 The timeout is over and the players from both sides return to the court.
　　 Wagner's lead defense did slow down Nash's speed a bit, but the speed of the entire Suns was not affected in any way.
　　Because during the timeout, the Suns coach D'Antoni replaced Johnson with "Lightning" Barbosa and added a point guard.
　　 When Nash was pressed tightly, Barbosa used lightning speed to dribble to the frontcourt, which made Shentong helpless.
　　 After arriving at the frontcourt, the Suns used their runs and screens to create opportunities for Nash to catch the ball.
　　 It is almost impossible to want an NBA player to not even catch the ball.
　　 Otherwise, guys like Kobe and Tracy McGrady, other teams would have passed one-on-one not allowing the ball, and then beat the Lakers or the Magic with four on four.
　　 From the moment Nash received the ball, it was almost 6 seconds before the Suns completed an offense.
　　 This time it was a three-person collaboration between Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion.
　　Have previous experience in pick-and-roll defenses. After changing defense, Varejao gave a false shot, pretending to block, delaying Nash's shot, and then immediately turned around to follow Stoudemire.
　　Wagner, who is also good at speed, flashed in front of Nash.
　　 It looks like the Suns failed this two-person pick-and-roll, but unexpectedly, the Suns still have back players.
　　 Nash did not stop the ball and passed the ball to Marion on the other side. After receiving the ball, Marion handed the ball to the inside and pushed the ball to the basket with both hands.
　　 Stoudemire who just arrived in the penalty area jumped up, catching Marion's pass in the air, and was about to dunk to the basket!
　　 At the same moment that Marion passed the ball, James, who was facing him, had already predicted Marion's intentions in advance.
　　 Turn around, run up, accelerate, take off.
　　 James opened his big hand, ready to give Stoudemire a fight.
　　 Really think this basket belongs to yours, you can buckle it if you want!
　　......
　　 Stoudemire caught the ball in the air? 　 Dunk towards the basket.
　　James also took off at the same time? 　The big hand greeted Stoudemire.
"Snapped!"
　　 "Boom!"
　　 The two sounds are simultaneously transmitted throughout the arena through a microphone bound to the basket.
　　 I heard very clearly in the live broadcast room.
　　 "Dididi..."
　　 The referee's whistle sounded.
　　 James sat down on the ground, Stoudemire looked down, and the referee pointed at James 　 to make a defensive foul.
　　Facing James’ defense? 　Stoudemire not only dunked? 　He also scored 2+1!
　　 "Who am I? I am the best rookie, the invincible bully under the basket, the pick and roll king, and the second Malone!" Stoudemire shouted excitedly.
　　 The players of the Suns came forward and high-five Stoudemire.
　　Shen Tong ran to James for the first time and pulled him from the floor? 　At the same time, he patted James on the back.
After scoring, Stoudemire seemed to be a little overwhelmed? 　Standing at the free throw line to prepare for the free throw? 　The mouth is still muttering: "Someone is so stupid? 　Dare to cover my dunk, does this guy want to live It’s just going to die."
　　 James immediately retorted: "Hey, don’t think you’re so great to dunk a basket? 　If you want to be here, you’re too early."
"Really? But why do I feel that the ball that I just dunked on your head just now deserves what I'm talking about here." Stoudemire did not stop, and continued to spray? 　 "Oh? 　 Right? 　 You reminded me, It seems I should dunk a few more on your head so that you can hear Cleveland’s dunk cheers for me, and these cheers are not for you."
　　 "Enough, shut up!" Shen Tong said.
　　 "How old are you, do you really think you are the boss of the team?" Stoudemire said angrily? 　 "Yao has been overtaken by me, and soon you too."
"what?"
　　 Faced with Stoudemire's provocation, the blue veins on Shen Tong's forehead burst.
　　 Stoudemire took the ball and said backwards: "Actually, I didn't regard Yao as my opponent at all. The best rookie originally belonged to me. As for you, I will soon surpass you."
　　 After all, Stoudemire looked at James and said: "Oh, yes, you are also the best rookie, but unfortunately, the quality of the best rookie last year has really become lower."
　　 Shentong: (??へ??╬)
　　James: (??へ??╬)
　　......
　　 Barbossa asked Nash: "Where is he so angry?"
　　 Nash said: "Maybe it's been a long time."
　　 Amare Stoudemire, when he first came to the Suns, he was completely used as a blue collar.
　　 At that time, the ball was almost in Marbury's hands.
In the rookie season, Stoudemire and Yao Ming also played well, and entered the playoffs with the Suns. Stoudemire felt that he was the best rookie player at the time. Who expected Yao Ming's background in China? Let him get a lot of support, including public support from Shentong, which almost wiped out Stoudemire's best rookie.
　　 So at that time, Stoudemire also expressed a lot of complaints to the outside world, but he was criticized by the pro-Yao media.
　　 Although Stoudemire finally got his wish and won the best rookie trophy, he and Yao Ming, Shentong, and even Chinese players and the media took over their feuds.
　　 Since that time, Stoudemire and Yao Ming have become "rivals for life."
Last season, Stoudemire and the Suns were in a slump, and they were even belittled by many Chinese media and reporters who had spoken before. ~EbookFREE.me~ Some people even re-discussed the issue of the ownership of the best rookie, which made Stoudemire. Very upset.
　　 It's a big announcement, it's really good, it's worth installing, even Android and iPhone support!
　　 The new season has ushered in Nash, who is selflessly delivering cakes. Stoudemire feels that his shackles are completely released. He has never been so comfortable on the court.
　　 grievances plus the average rebounds per game in the first three games gave Stoudemire enough confidence to challenge Shentong, who represents the highest level of Chinese players, and Shentong’s deputy James.
　　......
　　 There is a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to avenge him for ten years.
　　 But Shentong does not abide by these stereotypes, and usually has grudges, and he avenged it immediately.
　　 broke through with the ball, facing Stoudemire's defense inside, Shen Tongfei got up!
　　 Left hand, pay attention to the left hand.
　　 dodged Stoudemire's block in the air, and Shen Zhongong completed a wonderful dunk with his left hand!
　　 The decibels of cheers on the spot immediately filled the stadium.
After scoring, Shen Tong turned his head, glared at Stoudemire, and said: "The one who completed the left-handed dunk in front of you just now is Shen Tong II, the reincarnated man, the sportsman god, the Chinese, the king of Cleveland, and the best of Peking University. A debater, a young and ignorant veteran knight, the top ten outstanding young people in Chinatown, and a good socialist boy!"
　　 Xiaosi: "..."
　　 So many names shocked Stoudemire!
