Chapter 199: Chapter 198
The third quarter begins.
After all, Stoudemire and Nash are at the superstar level, and gradually brought the already yaw rhythm back on track.
They attacked the Nuggets' basket continuously, showing strong personal strength.
"The Suns are starting to chase points."
"Once Nash and Stoudemire find their form, their cooperation can tear apart any opponent."
"That's what I said, but it's very difficult for them to overtake the score. The opponent is the Nuggets, with top offensive player Anthony and championship MVP-level point guard Chauncey Billups." Chris Webber was sitting in the stands , looked at Reggie Miller who was discussing with himself, "Although the Suns' scoring explosiveness is indeed very strong, but that is a thing of the past. Lin Feidu is still off the court, and he has been unable to mobilize the team to start the three-point rain. Without the nuclear weapon of three-point rain, the Suns may not be able to match the Nuggets in scoring explosiveness."
The situation on the field is exactly as Chris Webber said. Even though Stoudemire and Nash scored frequently, but for the Nuggets, Anthony and Billups started their individual offensive mode and also continued to score, and Anthony caught Two three-point opportunities, hit two three-pointers in a row.
The point difference between the two teams has not been reduced.
beep! !
The Suns called a timeout.
Lin Feidu, who had rested for a long time, was sent to the field again.
Partial recovery of physical fitness, Lin Feidu was on the court, and the three-pointer recovered. Even though Billups and JR Smith were biting to death, he still caught two three-pointers.
Erwin nodded secretly on the sidelines. His original intention was to let Lin Feidu play and use three-pointers to help the team counterattack.
But in the rest of the third quarter, Lin Feidu only made these two three-pointers.
It is too difficult to run out of opportunities, and now he does not dare to easily try the three-pointer with the ball that he was good at before. The weakening of physical fitness during this period has caused him to lose many conventional scoring methods.
At the end of the third quarter, 62:71, the Suns are still 9 points behind.
After the start of the fourth quarter, it was even more difficult for Lin Feidu to get a shot.
Seeing this, Erwin had no choice but to replace him again.
Nash and Stoudemire tried their best to catch up, but the score was getting bigger and bigger.
The Nuggets were like a godsend, especially Anthony, who scored two three-pointers in the final quarter.
The Suns didn't have a single three-pointer. Without Lin Feidu's help, Frye couldn't get an open three-pointer at all, while Nash sought stability. Although his three-pointer percentage ranked first in the league last season, he Really rarely shoot threes.
"The score is widening. Stoudemire and Nash were able to tie the score in the third quarter, but the current situation is that the Suns are about to collapse." Reggie Miller sat on the commentary stand and shook his head.
Chris Webber said: "Originally in the second half of the second quarter and the first half of the third quarter, Nash and Stoudemire had gradually recovered their previous tactical rhythm, but Erwin let Lin Feidu play in the middle."
"Erwin's idea may be to hope that Lin Feidu will play to help the team open the three-point rain after getting a rest. We all know that the Sun's three-point rain needs Lin Feidu as the core."
"Lin Feidu did score two three-pointers after he came on the court, but he had a greater negative impact on the team. Originally, Nash and Stoudemire had recovered their rhythm, but because Lin Feidu played for a few minutes in the middle, They disrupted their original rhythm again. Once the rhythm is chaotic, it will take several rounds to gradually get back on track. You must know that the enemy they are facing now is the Nuggets with Anthony and Billups. There's no way to give them a chance to get their rhythm back."
Reggie Miller shrugged and smiled: "That's right, it's obvious that the Suns, which had a slight momentum of chasing points, are now starting to collapse."
……
beep! !
When the score fell to 18 points, Irvin called a timeout and replaced the lineup with all substitutes.
The result of the game ended in a rout for the Suns.
Lin Feidu scored only 10 points in this game, and his shooting percentage was even worse, almost less than 30%.
In the sideline interview after the game, Xu Jicheng could only comfort him in a gentle voice, and the Huaguo fans also cheered Lin Feidu loudly in the stands.
Lin Feidu was very moved in his heart, he knew that he was really beaten like shit, and the infinite tolerance of his compatriots made him even more ashamed and sad.
The post-match press conference was still so difficult.
Under the lens of the reporters of the M country media, he once again became the target of public criticism.
"Lin, what do you think of your former nickname of 'the strongest rookie in history'?"
Lin Feidu sneered when he heard this.
"Lin, why don't you talk? Are you trying to prevaricate us with the 'next question' again." The reporter had a half-smile.
For the media, their job is to find topics and gimmicks. For this reason, it doesn’t matter even if they offend people. What’s more, Lin Feidu is a Chinese. In the eyes of the media in country M, he is an outsider. Feidu didn't like it.
"Hello!—" Xiao Si tapped the table with his knuckles.
"Are you asking me what I think about this nickname?!" Lin Feidu looked at the reporter and sneered: "What can I think? This nickname was given by you shameless people yourself. You were the ones who said I was the 'best rookie in history', and now you are the ones who say I'm a hole in the team, and with all due respect, you're the ones who play with the wind."
There was an uproar at the scene.
The reporters looked at each other.
Irwin, Nash, and Stoudemire also looked at each other in blank dismay.
No one expected that Lin Feidu would suddenly speak so harshly.
But for Lin Feidu, it was easy to say, the various questions of this group of reporters were clearly mocking him, and he really couldn't suppress his disgust for this group of reporters from country M.
"Mr. Lin Feidu, are you angry from embarrassment?!" The reporter was also aroused.
"Maybe." Lin Feidu smiled contemptuously: "Anyway, no matter how I respond to you, you will make a big fuss, so it doesn't matter, you can write whatever you like."
"Our articles and reports have always been seeking truth from facts. Your performance is so poor, are you still not allowed to speak out?" Journalists have always been experienced in many battles, and ordinary people are not their opponents.
Lin Feidu himself knew that he couldn't keep pestering the reporter like this. He sneered: "That's right, I like your professionalism. Tomorrow's title can be written as Lin Feidu is angry from embarrassment. I have no objection."
"Okay!" The reporter nodded simply.
"This..." Stoudemire and Nash were in a daze. It's not unheard of for players and the media to fight each other, but at least it was the first time they saw their teammates being so rigid with the media.
