In the last game in November, the Warriors continued to play at home and had a match for the Suns.

Compared to last season, this Suns have changed a lot.

Last season's main small forward Cedric Cebaros left, and last season's main center Oliver Miller also left.

Two main players left to make room for salary and sign Danny Manning.

Compared to the two who left, Danny Manning is more famous, after all, he is an All-Star in the past two seasons.

But sometimes, being famous may not be effective.

The sun's reinforcement this time is a typical example.

Manning's main problems are two, one is not fatal, his and Barkley's style characteristics and even their positions are very similar, making it difficult for them to coexist on the same basketball court.

This is a bit like the Lakers today. Although the Turtles often play very well, they have the strength of the All-Stars.

Although Zhan Zhan is older and has declined a little more, he also has the strength of the All-Star.

Can these two teams work together to play basketball? Unless they are in a hot state, they will always have a trick.

Barkley and Manning are similar, they are incompatible. When they play at the same time, the Suns will be less than one person to fight.

But this problem is not the most deadly.

The most fatal problem is that Manning is injured frequently.

Paul Westfal is still very smart. He spent half a month trying out the incompatibility between Manning and Barkley.

Then I was about to press Manning to the bench and stagger the playing time between Manning and Barkley.

No matter what, the Suns have added a top sixth player for this contract.

Even if you lose, you won’t lose much.

Who would have thought that at this time, Manning was injured.

Knee contusions will take more than a month to rest.

Manning couldn't beat, Cebaros was still gone, the third position was empty, and Barkley had no choice but to go up by himself.

A signing made Barkley change to play as a small forward, and he lost it, and it was a loss...

In this game, the Warriors faced a sun without Manning.

In the playoffs last season, Barkley played a bit scary.

(Flying Pig: Nonsense, am I afraid of Lin? I am afraid of being bullied, I can only do three things...)

However, in this game, Barkley had no problem with Lin because Lin Xing didn't match him at all.

Old Nelson has fixed the starting lineup, the inside is a combination of Chris Gatling + Tyrone Hill, and the wing is Mullin + Madman.

Mullin's defense is not that good, so in this game, the man against Barkley is the madman.

As for Lin Xing, he is now the point guard and can only face Kevin Johnson if he wants to play.

The Suns also responded to point guard Lin. Kevin Johnson must not be able to withstand Lin Xing. The difference in body shape is big enough.

So, the Sun changed its defense.

They didn't use Barkley to directly play against Lin Xing. Paul Westfal has learned the lessons of last season's playoffs and is well aware of the importance of liberating Barkley.

Without Cedric Cebaros, they could only let Dan Marley fight Lin Xing.

Dan Marley's defense is pretty good, after all, he has been in the second team of the best defensive team.

But his defense depends on a strong fighting spirit.

Marley still couldn't stand Lin Xing, who had a "huge" upper body shape.

So, at the beginning of the game.

Lin Xing abused Dan Marley in various ways. Like the previous two games, he still passed more than he ended himself.

Moreover, Gatlin is mainly engaged in cooperation with Lin Xing.

Since the game against the Lakers broke out, Gatlin has performed well in three consecutive games.

In the game against the Lakers, they had 27 points and 8 rebounds, and in the game against the Jazz, they had 23 points and 7 rebounds.

The Clippers were slightly worse, with only 18 points and 9 rebounds.

The reason for a little worse is that

1. The game was spent very early and he didn't play much;

2. Lin Xing unlocked more ways to pass the ball, not just looking for Gatlin alone.

Counterattack to find the madman, find Mulin in a sudden position, and even look for Lang Li at the basket, are all extra choices.

Lin Xing had other choices, and Gatlin's chances were reduced.

To put it bluntly, no matter how good Gatlin played, he would just eat the inside.

If you want to perform well, the prerequisite is that someone has to feed the cake to his mouth.

Of course, being able to eat the cakes fed to the mouth is also a skill.

Chris Gatlin can do this, which means that he is indeed Lin Xing’s best pick-and-roll partner.

Just like this game, in the first quarter, Gatlin cooperated with Lin Xing.

One has 9 points, 1 rebound, 4 points, 1 block in a single quarter, and the other has 8 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Although Xiao Chong was injured, the Warriors in the first quarter still played the feeling of a two-star combination.

On the other hand, the sun also wants to combine two stars, but...

Just like the playoffs in the 1992-93 season, Kevin Johnson encountered a strong single defense.

In the first quarter, he made 6 shots, only 2 hits, scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

Compared with Barkley, who scored 13 points in the first quarter, the two stars were combined? Barkley is afraid that he would say: Your performance is worthy?

Kevin Johnson was helpless, on the one hand, he understood the reason why Barkley always shrank against Lin Xing last season.

On the other hand, he was also sighing: he deserved to be with Gary Payton.

This mad dog is defending, and he is a master!

In the first quarter, the Warriors scored 29-25 with the Suns, with the Warriors leading by 4 points.

The score difference is not big, so overall, this game is still very anxious.

On one side, Lin Xing led his teammates, and on the other side, Barkley went crazy alone.

The second and third sections are also the same way, and there is no change at all.

At the end of the third quarter, the score had become 80-82, and the Warriors were still leading by 2 points.

But is the lead of 2 points worth mentioning? Not worth mentioning!

Unlike the Jazz's game, Old Nelson did not let Lin Xing switch to Barkley in the last quarter.

Is the reason? Kevin Johnson and Stockton are different.

You really want to let Kevin Johnson take over the game, he can really take over.

Moreover, Barkley is different from Malone. Barkley is very hard, and Lin Xing's defense may not work.

So, Old Nelson made up his mind to block Kevin Johnson.

Watching Buckley rage, Old Nelson bet on the offense.

But at the last moment of the game, the score was still anxious and difficult to tell the difference.

In the last 20 seconds, Barkley rushed to the basket and picked the basket.

106 to 105, the Suns directly surpassed 1 point.

Seeing that the timer was 19.6 seconds and rounding it was 20 seconds, Lin Xing scratched his head.

"It's time for the final kill again?"

Lin Xing has many winning numbers. Last season, he played against the Jazz, and there was a goal after a red light lit up. It was a real win, without any controversy.

Including playing against the Suns in the playoffs, Lin Xing also made a three-point foul at critical moments, taking away the game.

So, who will Lin Xing vote for this final final kill?

Old Nelson quickly arranged a killing tactic of Lin Xing to catch the ball, spending time, and then making a front double-tack mid-range shot.

After the pause, everything went smoothly.

Lin Xing controlled the ball at the top of the arc and spent only the last 6 seconds left.

Then start, pass the pick-and-roll, cover, and then throw away the opponent Dan Marley, and then stop at mid-range.

However, in this critical second, the Fliggy flashed in front of Lin Xing, and there was a real interference.

Bang!

"It's a pity that I failed to win the final shot, and it's too surprising!"
