NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 331: When can I lift that O'Brien Trophy?



Lian Dao can just use this day to comfort his lovesickness with his little senior sister!

In the NBA, some players will suffer from vacation sequelae. The meaning is obvious, that is, during the vacation, excessive indulgence causes the whole person to become stateless.

Of course Lian Dao is not, but after this one-day holiday, he cannot guarantee that other Knicks players will not affect their status.

However, although there will be four consecutive aways next, the first game of the four consecutive aways is still very easy.

The four-game opponents are the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers, and Utah Jazz.

Since Stoudemire came to the Knicks, Phoenix\'s record this season has plummeted, with a record of 14 wins and 19 losses so far.

Although they traded the old flying man Carter from the Magic, the Suns can no longer play the same hearty offense as last season.

Tai Gibson, who came to the Suns under the influence of Lian Dao, although he has excellent defense, he is far behind Stoudemire on the offensive end.

The Suns scored very averagely in five @ starters this season. Nash averaged 14.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists; Carter 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists; Grant Hill 13.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists; Channing Fry 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists ; Marcin Gortat 13 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1 assist.

From the data point of view, the scoring of Sun Five@Starting is very average, but the Suns lack a real offensive core, but neither Carter nor Channing Foley can do it. After Carter\'s serious injury, his scoring ability and offensive ability are great. The rate has declined, and now Carter plays more of an outside shooter.

Chan Ning Folai\'s three-pointer is very good. As a tall man of 2.13 meters, he has a 43.2% three-point shooting rate, which is really very rare, but his body is too thin, and his confrontation, speed and flexibility are not enough. Excellent, to be precise, Channing Foley is just a space-based power forward.

He needs someone to attract the defense and create space for him to shoot.

If Channing Buddha comes as the core of the offense, it will be too easy to be restricted.

When Nash was at his peak, he could also play a guest role as the core of the offense. When Nash got old, Stoudemire became the core of the Suns\' offense. It\'s just digging and searching, and I don\'t want to spend more money to find big-name players.

And the Suns\' record has plummeted this season, and the Suns\' management is already preparing to start rebuilding.

On January 7, the Knicks defeated the Phoenix Suns at 121:96 in an away game. Just as Lian Dao expected, the Suns, who had no offensive core, did not pose any threat to the Knicks at all in this game.

Although Nash\'s passing is still very good, his teammates are in a sluggish state in the Knicks\' defense, and his shooting percentage is very poor.

Especially Channing Folai, who is a space power forward, was defended by Stoudemire in this game and had no shooting space at all.

In this game, Stoudemire played the best on the Knicks\' side. Facing his old club, he was extremely excited, and he played exceptionally well on both offense and defense.

Lian Dao also knew the reason and was willing to help Xiao Si.

To be honest, the Knicks were able to get Stoudemire in the offseason entirely because of the Suns\' management.

The Suns are unwilling to make any concessions to the restrictions in the second two years of the contract. The main reason is that they are still not at ease with Stoudemire\'s body.

In 2005, Stoudemire announced that he had undergone knee surgery shortly after renewing his contract with the Suns. In the 2005-06 season, Stoudemire only returned to play 3 games in the middle of the season. In 2009, Stoudemire underwent surgery because of a partial retinal detachment, and since then must wear glasses in the game.

Before negotiating with Stoudemire, the Suns had asked Stoudemire to undergo a physical examination.

Stoudemire agrees to check.

Inspection results showed that Stoudemire\'s current knee is fine. But the Suns are still worried about Stoudemire\'s body, so they insist on setting restrictions in the contract.

Without those restrictions, Stoudemire would be happy to sign the contract extension.

Last summer, Stoudemire said many times that he was reluctant to leave the Suns because his career started in Phoenix and his child was also born in Phoenix. As long as the contract given by the Suns satisfies him, he will renew his contract.

At that time, Stoudemire wanted to get a career maximum salary extension, and in the 2009-2010 season, Stoudemire\'s performance was definitely worthy of a maximum salary contract.

Last season, Stoudemire played 82 games with full attendance, averaging 23.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, and helped the Suns reach the Western Conference Finals. Although they lost to the defending champion Lakers 2:4 in the end, Stoudemire also played in the playoffs. Can hand over data averaging 22.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

To be honest, there is nothing unreasonable in applying for a maximum salary renewal with such data.

But the contract finally offered by the Suns could not satisfy Stoudemire, and he finally rejected the contract from the Suns.

"It\'s not the right contract, there are too many restrictions on us, Amare (Stoudemire) is very grateful to Sarver and Gentry to sit down with him and interview him, he is about to leave the beloved Phoenix and the guys, it\'s sad, but he has to make a change now," Stoudemire\'s agent, Hubie Walter, said after negotiations with the Suns broke down.

The most classic thing about Stoudemire in the Suns is the pick-and-roll cooperation with Nash.

The pick-and-roll between the two is the starting style of the Suns\' offensive position. Stoudemire\'s strong body can provide Nash with high-quality screens (Dirk Nowitzki was almost there in the same period). Nash\'s precise shooting and unpredictable pace made defenders hesitate to choose when switching defenses and pinching.

After a block and a dismantling, Stoudemire\'s roll will be unstoppable, like stepping on a switch and vigorously abusing the frame.

The same is true for this game. Lian Dao became a master of organization in this game.

Lian Dao\'s organizational passing comes from Magic Johnson, and his passing skills are not inferior to Nash\'s.

Moreover, the most important thing is that, as the league\'s top scorer, Lian Dao\'s ability to restrain the opponent\'s defense is much stronger than Nash.

Lian Dao is also an organization master who can pass the ball to the pinnacle. He can lead people away and turn stones into gold. In this game, Stoudemire has become a top pick-and-roll finisher with super receiving ability and fierce impact. Meng, even if the inside line is double-teamed by the sun, he can still kill a **** road and forcibly attack the city and plunder the village.

In this game, Stoudemire scored 39 points and 11 rebounds, while Lian Dao scored 27 points and 23 assists.

The Knicks also gave the Suns a three-game losing streak with a big score of 25 points.

After the game, Nash hugged Stoudemire with a bitter face.

"congratulations!"

Nash said with a wry smile that he knew his old buddy and had found a master of organization again. The cooperation between Lian Dao and Stoudemire in this game made Nash feel dazed for a while. He seemed to see the 2005 Western Conference Finals at that moment. The shadow of his cooperation with Stoudemire.

Although he lost to the Spurs 1:4 in the end, the invincibility left a deep impression on everyone. Duncan was still at his peak at the time, but he still couldn\'t stop Stoudemire from scoring. Nash clearly remembered that in the 2005 Western Conference Finals , Under Duncan\'s defense, Stoudemire averaged 37.0 points per game, and his shooting percentage reached an inhuman data of 55.2%.

But everything disappeared, and Nash didn\'t know what to say about the Sun\'s high-level operations~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is estimated that the most regrettable thing for the Sun\'s high-level executives now is to let Stoudemire go.

Stoudemire has found his starting point again, and the Knicks\' record this season has gradually revealed the image of a champion, but where should he go?

I am 36 years old this year, and Nash can clearly feel that his speed, bounce, and reaction have deteriorated seriously this year. He is no longer the son of wind Nash, but he has no way to get a championship in his life, which makes Nash very unwilling.

He does not lack any honors now, two regular season MVPs, seven All-Stars, seven selections to the All-NBA Team, two third teams, two second teams, and three first teams. So far the four-time NBA assists leader, the only honor he lacks now is the championship ring.

"When can I hold that O\'Brien Cup?!"

Nash seems to be asking himself in a daze, but he doesn\'t know the exact answer in his heart. If he chooses to die in the sun, maybe he really can\'t get his hands on the championship.
