Chapter 491: The sun reborn from the ashes

Shentong and Alba strolled on the Brooklyn Bridge.
The people on the 　　 bridge were making a loud noise and it was very lively.
　　 The road is not congested either.
　　 There is no crowding phenomenon.
　　 But Alba did not reveal it.
　　 The two stopped in the middle of the bridge and looked towards Manhattan.
　　 The traffic flow at night and the high-rise buildings in the city center are intertwined under the lights of the night, forming a beautiful picture, which is particularly emotional.
　　 Shintong turned his head to look at Alba, and happened to find that the other person was also looking at him.
　　 At this time, the Brooklyn Bridge was suddenly as bright as day.
　　 Alba pointed to the direction where the light came from, and said excitedly: "The light of Manhattan!"
　　Shintong looked in the direction of Alba's fingers, but in front of him was Alba's face in the light of Manhattan.
　　......
　　 After the team's training session, Shen Tong sat in front of the locker, still thinking about what happened last night.
　　 Before parting, Alba asked Shen Tong: "Shen, you broke up with Avril Lavigne, is it true?"
　　 "Ah..." Shen Tong didn't expect Alba to ask this question so directly, she was a little surprised, but she still asked the truth from facts, "Well, yes."
　　 "So." Alba said with a mischievous smile, "I have a chance."
　　......
"Hey!"
　　 An old rough choke interrupted Shen Tong's memory.
　　 James sat down next to Shentong and said: "Tonight's Phoenix Suns played quite well this season. Like us, they have won three games in a row."
　　 James' words made Shen Tong instantly sober.
　　 The Phoenix Suns of the 04-05 season...
　　 The Suns this season welcomed back "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash.
　　 I don't know whether Nash made the Suns or the Suns made Nash. In short, at the beginning of this season, the Suns have become the most ornamental and sharpest offensive team in the league.
　　 On July 14th of the offseason, Nash officially signed a contract with the Suns.
　　 But in fact, Nash, who is very sincere to the Mavericks, is reluctant to leave the Mavericks, especially his partners Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley.
　　 But at the age of 30, he is also very worried about his future. After all, the Mavericks have been silent during the open bidding.
　　 When the Suns offered Nash a five-year, $65 million contract, Nash immediately called his boss Mark Cuban to inform him of the Suns’ offer.
　　 But Cuban, who has always been generous, did not match the Suns’ offer.
　　 So, the contract from the Sun is the only option for Nash.
　　 Returning to the mother team, the Suns, Nash expressed his gratitude and trust in the Suns, as well as his understanding of Cuban.
　　 At that time, Cuban had only the big shark O'Neill who publicly stated that he would leave the Lakers.
　　If Nash is signed, then the Mavericks who retain Nowitzki and Finley will not have enough salary space to sign O'Neal.
　　 But then O'Neal went to the Heat, but Cuban could not wait for O'Neal and even lost Nash.
　　......
　　 On the afternoon before the game, Paul Silast let all the players watch the first three games of the season.
　　 The gorgeous offense completely runs counter to the league's current emphasis on defense.
　　 Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-rolls and counterattacks like flowing water made the Cavaliers players who watched the video tsk.
After watching the Suns' game video in 2 hours, Silas said to all the players: "Tonight's game must be a hard fight. Their style of play has nothing to refer to in the current league, so For tonight’s tactics, I plan to attack them. After all, our fast-attack counterattack is also very fast. In the positional battle? 　 Just increase the defensive intensity? 　 Anyway? 　 Tonight’s game will consume a lot. The players on the bench should also be ready to play at any time!"
"Yes!"
　　 Silas’ tactical arrangement is very similar to that of the Spurs.
　　Experienced Shentong knows that the Suns’ offense is indeed gorgeous, but encountering a team that can attack and defend like the Spurs? 　 is easy to be pulled off the horse.
　　 Speaking of it? 　 At that time the Spurs already had a GDP portfolio? 　 It is precisely because of the addition of Manu Ginobili? 　 The Spurs can truly restrain the sun.
　　 And this Cavaliers team? 　 If there is no James and Wagner, Shentong is actually not confident.
　　But this season, the Cavaliers have both Wolong and Fengchi? 　With Shentong, with the combination of the young Big Three? 　It's nothing to deal with the Suns this season.
　　......
　　 The Cavaliers’ game continues to be broadcast live by TNT.
　　The Cleveland Cavaliers are already very popular? 　The three-game winning streak of the Suns has also attracted the attention of the league and fans.
　　 Therefore, the ratings of this game will definitely be very high, TNT is not willing to miss such a golden game.
　　 Before the game, Smith first commented on the Suns.
"This Suns team is completely revolving around Steve Nash. They play very much like the Nets in previous years. The counterattack is smooth and sharp, but compared with the Nets, the Suns rely more on three-pointers. This season, they have hit 9.7 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league. They are currently averaging 113 points per game, which is also the first in the league. In just three games, many experts and fans believe that this The Suns of the season may replicate Kidd’s miracles when he first joined the Nets."
Barkley continued: "I think it's very possible. First of all, we saw the Suns' tactical play. There are mainly two. One is Nash and Amare's pick-and-roll. Their pick-and-roll cooperation is like the Utah Jazz. Stockton and Malone are difficult for other opponents to crack, because Amare’s impact at the basket is too strong~EbookFREE.me~ plus Nash has a very strong shooting ability, so in terms of pick-and-roll prevention In fact, it is difficult for the opponent to limit these two people. The second is the counterattack of the Suns. Their counterattack fast break is more sharp than the Nets when they had Kidd and Shentong. It reminds me of the Lakers in the 1980s. Showtime offensive, because the Suns’ five starters completely abandoned the traditional center, they have a great advantage in speed, and it is difficult for other teams to keep up.
　　 Barkley's professional comments impressed Smith.
Smith said: "At present, both teams have won three games in a row, so today there will be a team whose unbeaten golden status will be broken. So which one is it, let us wait and see. Charles, which one do you prefer? support?"
　　 Barkley replied very smoothly: "The Cavaliers with home court advantage obviously have the advantage, but the Suns have been gaining momentum recently, so no matter which team wins, I think it is convincing."
　　 Smithton paused and asked, "Charles, did you go to the commentary training camp to study again recently?"
"how do you know?"
　　......
　　The warm-up of the players on both sides is over, and the starting player comes on stage.
　　 Cavaliers starting: center: Varejao, power forward: Gooden, small forward: James, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Wagner;
　　 Suns starting: center: Stoudemire, power forward: Marion, small forward: Richardson, shooting guard: Johnson, point guard: Nash.
