Faced with the aggressive posture after the opening, Suns coach Skeles saw that the situation was not good and had to shoot a timeout.

However, after the pause, what made Skeles despair was that his strategy of relying on grinding positions tonight in front of the Raptors' whirlwind was simply not good.

This season, the number two scorers in the Suns are Clifford Robinson at their small forward position and "penny" Hardaway at the shooting guard position.

In previous games, when landing in positions, Kidd would use his excellent overall view to create a comfortable singles environment for these two people.

In addition, Kidd can also connect the team's offense through his advantage in the match.

However, when facing the Raptors

The Sun's "trident" now seems to be the only one left of Kidd.

First of all, Robinson, who is "208" cm tall, looks very similar to the poor version of Durant in terms of style.

With his hands and feet long, he can basically form a purely natural misalignment when facing other small forwards in the league.

But tonight when he met Su Feng, the old tortured queen, Robinson discovered that his current situation could only be described as "unable to move".

Compared with Durant in the future, Robinson's ball-holding offensive ability and strong offensive ability are not unsolvable.

Therefore, when defending this guy, Su Feng adopted the most direct "not letting you catch the ball" tactic.

On the one hand, this can increase the difficulty of Robinson when receiving the ball, and on the other hand, such a strategy can also ensure that Robinson cannot take an offensive against Su Feng's side guarding as soon as possible after receiving the ball.

In basketball games, the taller side will indeed have a more advantage, but Su Feng, who has amazing athletic ability, has a game understanding that is far above Robinson.

Secondly, although Francis once made McGrady unable to take care of herself during the game against the Nets, facing Kidd, this situation turned around tonight.

In normal games, Kidd can always use his solid body to bully a small defender like Nash.

However, facing McGrady tonight, Kidd's many advantages have become disadvantages.

It is true that Kidd can still kill the Raptors by his control of the rhythm.

But the problem is

With Kidd's halberd without forks, even if McGrady lets him score, can he score 30 points, 40 points and kill the Raptors?

The answer is naturally impossible.

To put it bluntly, compared to the gap in strength, the Raptors' restraint in the style of the game and players is the game that Skeles cannot break even if he catches the head.

On the court, facing Carter, Hardaway's jump shot deviated from the basket again.

Many times, people only know how to cherish it when they lose it.

On this night when Hardaway was destined to feel heartbroken, you may not believe it when he said it. What he missed the most was not his talent he made up for was his fault.

But the tall and mighty figure who can always shelter him from the wind and rain at critical moments.

If there was that invincible shark, in Hardaway's opinion, how could he be beaten to the ground by Carter in front of him?

This season, in Phoenix, Hardaway has returned to the second spring of his career.

Relying on Kidd's tandem and the tactics designed for him, he not only averaged 16.9 points per game, but also scored a career-high 47.4% shooting percentage after breaking up with O'Neal.

But whenever Hardaway secretly turned on the TV and looked at Staples' No. 8

He is already 29 years old, but his eyes are full of 23-year-old self.

That is the beautiful look back on time and the moving sounds of nature played by time.

Returning to the silent Orlando, the noisy Staples, Phoenix reborn in desperate situations, when the years quietly turn around, the 29-year-old Hardaway stands here, but

But he can no longer catch up with the former self.

Recently, Hardaway often hears people say that Su Feng and Carter are Jordan and Pippen of this era.

But in Hardaway's opinion, those who say such words probably have never even watched the game between Jordan and Pippen.

But tonight, even the arrogant Hardaway has to admit it

Times have changed.

In the 1996/97 season, when he first played against Su Feng, Hardaway thought Su Feng was very familiar.

And he also felt this feeling once when he first fought with Kobe.

Later, it was not until Kobe revealed the story of that year in an interview that Hardaway realized

Look

In the past, he was the out-of-reach superstar in the eyes of two Raul Melin teenagers.

But now, the two boys who had rejected their signatures by him have become legends of tomorrow that he can't catch up with no matter how much he pursues them.

Thirty years in Hedong, Thirty years in Hexi.

It’s better to bully the white-headed man than to bully the young man’s poor.

Swish!

On the court, just as Hardaway sighed that time had changed, the Raptors' counterattack had advanced to the Suns' halftime in a blink of an eye.

It's Suka's connection again!

Carter's condition tonight was indeed as he said.

After receiving the big cake from Su Feng, Carter pulled it up and threw it away, and it was thrown away!

0 to 9!

Looking back, the sun attacked, Lang Li once again transformed into an "insider".

Because Langley's pick-and-roll came too slowly, where was the Raptors player blocking this ball?

Kidd, who was blocked by Langli, had no choice but to hang the ball to Gugliota.

However, under O'Neal's close-up guard, Gugliotta chose to turn the blame after watching for a while.

On the flank, Robinson cried.

no

Big brothers, even if you want to pass the ball to me, you can pass it as soon as possible!

In just a few seconds, you won’t think I can really break through Su Feng’s wall of sighs, right?

Bang!

This time, Su Feng didn't even give Robinson a chance to take action.

After reaching out and cutting off the basketball from Robinson's hand, Su Feng took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack and assisted Carter again to complete the dunk.

0 to 11!

Nearly 20,000 fans at the Route Center Arena were drunk.

Looking at the sky, are we watching the dunk contest?

On the sidelines, Suns coach Skeles felt that if he continued to play like this, the Suns would definitely be slaughtered by the Raptors tonight.

So, with the idea of ​​limiting the Raptors' fast break, Skeles hurriedly called Marion, who was repairing the water dispenser.

Taking advantage of a chance to die, Skeles replaced Langley with Marion and used Gugliota to play C.

After Marion took the field, the Suns were obviously much better than before, both offense and defense.

Marion, who has no ball-holding power in his own style, ran around like a mad dog when he attacked.

When looking back, when defending, Marion also actively replaced the team to help defend, and gave his teammates the opportunity to slow down the Raptors' offensive rhythm.

In his previous life, Marion, nicknamed "Hacker", even played a guest appearance as a center when Xiao Si was reimbursed for the season.

With amazing athleticism, he seems to be unpretentious, but he is the mainstay player who can increase the team's lower limits.

You know, in Su Feng's "Pippen ranking", this guy can even rank in the top five.

However, the Sun's disadvantage tonight cannot be achieved by Marion alone.

In the first quarter, as the Raptors' main attacker tonight, Carter was already completely excited.

With Su Feng helping to pull, how comfortable Carter's living environment is tonight?

In the first quarter, Carter, who made 8 of 12 shots, scored 22 points after counting the free throws.

Su Feng also contributed his personal career high of 7 assists in a single quarter.

With a score of 23 to 39, the Raptors led by 16 points into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, when I noticed that Su Feng and Carter were not resting on the Raptors.

Don't mention how much Suns coach Skeles wants to scold people.

no

Brother John, do we have no grudges with you? Do we need to beat us to death like this?

Hong Zhen, that is, Skyles has no knife in her hand now, otherwise tonight, Pat Riley will be given a reward to John Davis, Skyles will be sure to!

On the court, in the second quarter, in order to stop Carter from running wildly, the Suns had to tighten the inside.

However, as an outside star in the new era, Carter will not only thrust.
