Chapter 6 Preseason against Cousins

On the evening of October 15, the NBA 2010-2011 preseason officially opened. The Suns need to play a total of six preseason games, namely the New Orleans Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, Charlotte Bobcats, Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks.

The pre-season only plays the role of restoring the team after a long holiday, as well as the cooperation and tactical integration between players, and will not be in the team's record, so the victory or defeat is not important, but a little more intense than the team's training game. The team arranged by Gentry in the two games before the pre-season The starting lineup is: center Robin Lopez, power forward Channing Fry, small forward Grant Hill, shooting guard Jason Richardson, and point guard Steve Nash. The Suns did not play very well in these two games.

Especially Lopez, he can't integrate into the Sun's tactics at all. His fast attack awareness is extremely poor. On the court, he can only make a little contribution to defense and rebounding. On the offensive end, he is basically invisible.

On the contrary, although Zhao Yue played as a substitute, both the cooperation with Nash and with Dragic were very tacit and did not feel any sense of discord. Therefore, from the third game against the Kings, Gentry took Lopez from the starting lineup and was replaced by Zhao Yue against the king. In the game, Zhao Yue was also a little excited, because he met DeMars Cousins, a very excellent big man among his rookies. Although he was also a rookie, one was the fifth pick in the first round and the other was the end of the second round. There is no doubt that Zhao Yue was very unconvinced, so he wanted to be with Cous with Cousins. Have a good competition and let everyone know that you are the most neglected player in the draft.

The game is about to begin, and the King's starting lineup is: center De Marcus Cousins, power forward Carl Landry, small forward Jason Thompson, shooting guard Francisco Garcia, and point guard Tyrek Evans.

Both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the referee threw the ball up. Zhao Yue, wearing the Sun's No. 55 jersey, jumped up and steadily allocated the ball to Nash. At the same time, he rushed up after landing. After Nash controlled the ball and threw the ball high like the team's training match. Zhao Yue also rushed into the King at this time. In the paint area at half, his feet suddenly kicked to the ground and rose directly into the air like a rocket. He caught the basketball thrown by Nash with his right hand and vigorously split it into the basket. With a loud bang, the ball was smashed into the basket fiercely. Zhao Yue hung his one arm in the basket and looked at Cousins, who had not yet returned, and his eyes were full of war.

The king counterattacked, and Evans controlled the ball at half. Evans was a very physical player with a height of 198cm but played as a point guard. His impact on the basket was very threatening. No one could underestimate it. He controlled the ball into the penalty area and tried to attack. Of course, Zhao Yue and Fry would not give it to him. At this opportunity, when he jumped up, Zhao Yue and Fry had already rushed to the ball in his hand, but at this time, Evans passed the ball and the ball came to Garcia's hand. The vacancy, chance, Garcia hit the basket.

2 flat, the sun attacked, the old rules, blocked the attack, Zhao Yue came out to help Nash block and dismantle. No matter how good Evans's physical quality was, he was still frightened when he met a big fat man like Zhao Yue and fell directly to the ground, but this was not a cover foul. Nash asked Evans to pass the ball to Hill. , Hill hit the shot.

The king's second attack, and the ball was handed over to Cousins. Zhao Yue immediately stared at him. In the confrontation between the two rookies, all the kings opened the space left for Cousins to play singles, and the Suns also pulled away, allowing Zhao Yue to defend Cousins alone. On the side of this game The commentator was stunned. He said in a daze, "The Sun wants their final show to prevent our No. 5 rookie De Marcus. This is simply a joke. You know, the gap between a tail show and a No. 5 rookie is as long as a Mississippi River!"

No matter what he said, Cousins began to attack. He held the ball in both hands and made a series of fake moves to shake Zhao Yue away. The commentator on the sidelines laughed and said, "Fatty, you have been stunned by our DeMarcus, hahaha..."

However, Zhao Yue was not shaken away by Cousins's fake action at all. He still stared at Cousins in front of him. Cousins' fake action was invalid and began to force him, but Zhao Yue is not an ordinary person. He has a figure comparable to O'Neill. Can anyone forcibly break through? Of course not. Cousins couldn't break through, so he had to use his physical flexibility to half turn around. He thought to himself: Fatty, even if you can't break through, I don't believe that you are so fat and as flexible as me.

Why not? Of course. Zhao Yue's action told him the answer. Zhao Yue took a slight step back when Cousins half turned around. At the moment when Cousins threw the ball, he suddenly jumped up and slapped his right hand on the basketball thrown by Cousins, and the ball was directly slapped out by Zhao Yue.

Richardson rushed out at this time, hugged the ball and shouted, "Quick attack!" Nash, Richardson and Hill rushed to the field like a runaway wild horse. Evans on the king's side immediately chased and shouted as he ran, "Come back!" But is it too late to take precautions now? Of course, the answer is no. Once the Suns' fast attack starts, there are very few teams that can be prevented in the league. It happens that the King is not among them. The Suns' fast attack scores, 6:2.

Zhao Yue looked at Cousins and said, "Don't try to challenge me. I will risk that you can't find the north!"

Cousins said angrily, "Fatty, don't be so arrogant. It's just an accident!"

As he spoke, the king's attack came again, and he still handed it over to Cousins. Cousins held the ball and said, "Fatty, let you show me my strength!"

Zhao Yue moved left and right to defend him while saying, "Strength, the strength of sending hats? Come on, I'll wait!"

Cousins didn't say much and began to single Zhao Yue on his back. Zhao Yue couldn't help laughing. With Cousins's parachute, he singled himself on his back. Are you kidding. Sure enough, Cousins still couldn't break through Zhao Yue's defense and had to pass the ball out. The ball came to Evans's hand. Evans faced a rotten defense. Nash, shot directly, hit, and the king recovered 2 points.

In the pre-season, the two sides played fiercely. Only the confrontation between Zhao Yue and Cousins, two rookies, was a little interesting. However, at the end of the game, Zhao Yue's data stabilized Cousins, whether it was scoring, rebounding or block. It can be said that Cousins's fifth show was finished by Zhao Yue at the end. Explosion.

6 preseason games will soon end, 6 games, the Suns 5 wins and 1 loss, and the results are quite good. After two days of rest, the new season regular season will officially start. The Suns' first opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Lakers are the defending champion. This season, the Lakers' formation Rong was strengthened again. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a difficult bone in the opening battle. Gentry seemed to be very nerve-wracking.
