797 must win, warriors (I'm sorry, book friends)
"We've won one game, and at our home court, we won very well and easily, just like in the past forty years, we've always been able to dominate our home court. Now, it's our second game at home, huh? We're going to win, aren't we?"
"Boys, we have not lost at home until now. Yes, we have won all the home games. Next, all you have to do is to let go and enjoy the comfort of victory."
Gentry yelled before the opening, hoping to ignite the players' fighting passion.
Barkley noticed this scene, but he did not give his old boss any face and smiled sarcastically: "Is Gentry in it? When I was traveling to Africa, I saw some tribe wizards like this. Did he change his career? He won't be a head coach or a wizard?"
Smith shrugged and said, "That's a great idea, and Gentry is a good fit for this new job, look, how happy he's dancing there."
While saying that, the two of them laughed loudly, then Barkley stretched out his hand and slapped Smith with high fives, frowned and said in a confusion: "Let me think about it carefully, when was the last time we had such a tacit understanding, oh, God, that's been a long time."
The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Chamberlain, power forward Ibaka, small forward Jackson, organizational defender Billups, and shooting guard Iverson.
Iverson ran two laps after playing, and he has been a little tired until now.
Smith sighed and said, "Allen, he can run so well, but he still can't run time. Judging from his steps, who would have thought that one day the steps of AI would stagger so much?"
The Suns continued the starting lineup of the last game, with the double towers in the interior, Oden and Lopez partnered, while Richardson, Dragic and Na on the outside
Nash's appearance caused the American and Western Arena to be hysterical cheers. Nash, who scored 18 assists in the last game, became the second player in NHA history to score 18 attacks at the age of 3 or above.
Barkley and Smith joked about Gentry so much before, but when the Suns players came on the court, they both started to say good things about them. In Barkley's words, "This Suns is really amazing."
Smith sighed: "I bet that before the opening of this season, many people even thought that the Suns were unable to win the playoffs. What's the result? They entered the playoffs as fourth in the West and swept the first round of opponents. I can only say, boys, Yu De Beautiful."
Mark Jackson is also a point guard. He commented with a professional perspective: "The 3-year-old Nash is even better than those two Mp seasons. The current Suns, even with so many loopholes and shortcomings, is the best Suns in the past six seasons."
The current Suns have problems such as incomplete lineups, older main players, and chaotic tactics. However, these are all small problems. In the past, they only knew how to attack but did not know how to defend, which was a big problem. The previous small problems, even a thousand of them were not as good as those who could not defend.
Speaking of this, Barkley suddenly said, "Then have we wronged that guy Gentry? Look, at least the Suns are in his hands and know how to defend."
Smith curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Charles, you're crazy. What's the relationship between the Suns' defensive ability and Gentry? The defensive system brought by Oden has been weakened by him. Looking at that guy Nelson, he also hopes that Chamberlain builds a defensive system, but he did a good job."
The commentators joked as they pleased, and the players from both sides stood on the field.
Chamberlain and Lopez jumped the ball, and Gentry also understood that no one could jump the ball, so he simply refused to let Oden waste his energy.
The ball flew into the air, Chamberlain stomped his feet, jumped up and slapped it to Billups.
The Warriors' regular first offense was left to Iverson to solve, and Billups passed the ball to him after halftime.
Iverson looked at Dragic's nervous look and teased, "Hi, man, I feel very interesting to see that I can still create such pressure for you at this age, but don't worry, this ball is not mine..."
After the words came, Iverson picked the ball into the inside, Chamberlain jumped up quickly, waved his right hand and grabbed the ball with one hand and pulled it behind him.
Billups and Jackson ran back several times, and the Warriors opened the lineup, with Lopez staring at Chamberlain in the inside.
Oden did not dare to let Ibaka go at will. Seeing this, Chamberlain seized the opportunity. He suddenly turned around and faced Lopez, and his majestic body hit him hard. With this force, he turned around flexibly and stepped into the basket.
Lopez screamed and followed from behind. Chamberlain put away the ball and raised his arms to shoot. He was under the basket at this time, and the threat was too great. Lopez jumped up in shock.
Chamberlain laughed and pulled the ball back. Only then did he jump calmly and put the ball into the ring.
"Yu De is beautiful, this is called lifting weight easily." Barkley exclaimed. He was from the inside and could tell that Chamberlain's ability is more difficult than his dunk.
The Suns attacked, and Nash dribbled the ball forward with a brisk manner.
Old Nelson has already arranged it, and people are pressing against each other, so they must give the opponent the greatest pressure.
But people like Nash couldn't help it. He changed direction repeatedly and kept moving forward all the way in the process. Billups didn't suppress him.
Oden stayed at the high position, and Nash glanced at him, and tried to cut through and use his cover to break through.
The Warriors subconsciously shrank their defense line. At this time, Nash seized the opportunity and passed it to Richardson on the right wing with his arm. Richardson made a jump shot and made a steadily shot.
Smith and Barkley applauded Nash's pass, and Mark Jackson said: "Many people are amazed at the achievements of the Suns this season, but I think Nash is actually even more amazing."
Barkley, who has never liked to praise people, also said: "Yes, he is already 36 years old, but judging from his performance on the court, Nash is almost the same as his peak."
"If you don't look at the wrinkles, you have to forget his age." Smith smiled and interjected.
The Warriors are full of talents from the outside, but they have never really controlled Nash in three series. Although in the pre-match predictions, both Iverson and Billups have an advantage in defense, Nash is still the most active and threatening point guard until now.
The best defender in the playoffs is Nash.
"I don't want to admit it, but I still have to say that Steve controls the series," Barkley said. "He not only leads the team to a perfect start, but also has a perfect ending. The loss of the first two games has nothing to do with Nash."
Smith nodded in recognition, then shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Xiao Si is no longer the little bully. He and Nash were once the strategic Rockets of this team."
After Richardson hit a mid-range shot, the Warriors launched an attack, and Chamberlain reached out to ask for the ball at the basket again. Seeing this, Gentry stood up anxiously and shouted at Oden: "Double-team him, go double-team him."
Ibaka kept pulling out, Oden looked at him hesitantly, and finally decided to double-team Chamberlain.
Chamberlain was surrounded by heavy siege and reached out to ask for the ball. Oden and Lopez were surprised and strengthened their defense against him.
In this way, the Suns' inside line was completely involved in the penalty area by Chamberlain.
Ibaka ran out of the open position, Billups passed the ball to him, Richardson was attracted to switch defense, and Ibaka passed the ball to Jackson.
Richardson hurriedly turned around and chased him, so he was trapped in the vast ocean of the People's War. Billups controlled the ball and passed the ball continuously. The Warriors' three players from the outside and Ibaka passed the ball continuously.
In this way, Oden and Lopez were even less afraid to go out easily. They treated the Warriors' pass as bait for fishing, with the purpose of pulling one of them out and giving Chamberlain a chance to play singles.
In this case, the Warriors are not polite. Billups ran like a ghost and finally ran out of the open position at the bottom of the three-point line. Iverson flipped his wrist and passed the ball to him.
Seeing this, Gentry seemed to be kicked to Dandan and screamed: "I missed someone."
Needless to say, everyone knew that someone had missed. Billups took the knife and got a three-pointer.

Suns fans were not in a hurry and kept comforting themselves: "Don't look at the troublesome ring now, I will definitely put the list later. God bless you, the hand feels hot."
Although it is unlikely that the two consecutive games will be overwhelming, fans still hope that the players can possess the God of War, because this team has suffered too much in the playoffs.
In addition, Nash, Little S and Richardson are both getting older, and their careers are one year away. It is unknown whether Little S will still wear the Suns jersey in the coming year. Therefore, this year is their last chance, and fans hope that their combination will have a perfect end.
However, the Warriors don't want to lose
Iverson took the ball and walked forward. Nash disturbed him with trash words and said, "AI, you are old and old can't move your feet. Why not enjoy the fun of life? You already have the championship ring, give it to me this year."
Iverson skillfully controlled the ball, looking at Nash's eager eyes, he knew that this old opponent was not joking, Nash was really begging for a championship ring
But Iverson had no other choice. He said to Nash: "Man, you know, since my rookie season, my career has been bitter, and I was questioned, criticized and criticized. For so many playoffs, every time I left the court, I would say, 'I will fight back, I can fight back, do you know how many times I said this with tears in my eyes?"
"Now, the time for counterattack is here"
Iverson's words fell, his legs suddenly tense muscles. He quickly pushed forward and pulled back. The ball in his hand hit the ground and landed on his left hand. His thin body was like a sharp arrow. The ball followed the person and then broke through.
"Focus on, guys, the final answer is revealed" Barkley shouted, 'Answer, the word he shouted very loudly, this is Iverson's nickname
Barkley has always had a good impression of Iverson. Not only have they both been bosses in 76ers, but they are also arrogant because they are lawless and arrogant.
Iverson rushed forward quickly, Nash chased after two steps and was thrown away. Oden wanted to make up for defense, but Chamberlain rushed out first. He stuck Oden and let Iverson go, and then went to pick him up from the middle.
Lopez saw Chamberlain and ignored defending Iverson, but blocked Chamberlain's way.
Iverson took two steps in three steps, rushed up quickly, put the ball with both hands and stabilized the lower abdomen, contracted his body to avoid Oden's cover, and swung his arm and pulled the rod to layup.
The ball flew up with a perfect curve, but unfortunately it did not fall into the ring in the end, but turned around the ring twice and went around again.
Barkley's expression suddenly became a little lonely and murmured: "The answer will eventually be unexpected."
Iverson's face was tense, Oden then grabbed the rebound, and he ran forward with Nash, with no joy or sorrow on his face, as if he had no idea about the previous layup.
But many old fans have the urge to shed tears at this moment.
Their youth and their golden days are with Iverson's footsteps and are gone forever.
