He is a two-time regular season MVP winner, 5 assists king, 7 all-team, 8 All-Star winner, Naismith basketball Hall of Famer, he is the son of the wind - Steve. Nash, today we're going to talk a little bit about his story:
Nash wasn't fast, no one had even seen him dunk, and his crossover wasn't as flamboyant as Iverson's, but he had an ability that would keep everyone's eye on him, and that was passing. Nash can be said to be a passing artist on the field, in addition to being proficient in a variety of back passes, floor passes is to treat the opponent's forbidden area as their own home, easily dribble in and out, in the tall and tall enemy line through the needle lead, as long as the teammates have a gap, Nash must be able to pass the ball to their hands at the best time, dribbling in the clouds, passing the ball unexpectedly, the whole process can be said to be pleasing to the eye, when thinking of Nash, I believe that most fans like me will think of the Phoenix Suns that swept the league with super firepower, and the 7-second fast attack on the hot sun changed the ecology of the entire league, which can be said to be the prelude to the current small ball boom. However, all this happened after Nash was 30 years old, an age when most people were sure that the players were starting to go downhill.
Nash was selected by the Suns with the 15th pick in the 15th pick in the 96 draft, but in the beginning Nash did not exist as a main player at the Suns, in the 98-99 season Nash was traded to the Mavericks, in the Mavericks he worked with Nowitzki until the 03-04 season, this Time mavericks knew that the last four seasons were all in the playoffs, but there was not much breakthrough, but his relationship with Nowitzki became a good story.
Time came to the 04-05 season, the then 30-year-old Nash left the Mavericks to return to Phoenix, returning to the Suns he was not optimistic at the time, most people felt that the 30-year-old will be greatly degraded in the future, but the truth is just the opposite, nash who returned to the Suns is like a fish to find a position that suits him best, under the unique shelling tactics of head coach D'Antoni, with the shorter but faster and more capable players, playing a very smooth and fast attack, Nash acted as the initiator of the entire team's offense, because of his broad vision, accurate passing and super high ball quotient, he was able to make the right decisions at such a fast pace, coupled with the atypical center Xiaosi, who was known for his mobility and explosiveness, the two of them repeatedly staged classic blocking and demolition under the dunk, and the all-round small forward Marion was flying in the sky, rebounding and defending fast attacks and three points, and the msa connection of the year was definitely a classic combination of the league. Lightning quickly converted into fast attacks, a large number of three-point shots and empty connections in the box, and wonderful small ball assists. The Sun's unprecedented style of play is undoubtedly a shocking bomb in the league, and it is instantly loved by countless fans.
Nash returned to the Suns in the first season to get the first record of the league with 62 wins, compared to last season's Suns wins a full 33 games, the Suns averaged about 110 points per game that season, which is the highest in the past decade, which also allowed Nash to win the first regular season MVP trophy of his career, the following year Although the Suns face the player's injury problem, but under the bombardment system and Nash's passing ability, the Suns will be said to have played the best performance of their careers. Nash also managed to win the regular season MVP, and the two Best Player Trophies were not easy to come by, but what Nash longed for most in his heart was the O'Brien Cup.
In those years, although the Suns had a good record in the regular season, they were always frustrated in the playoffs, repeatedly falling under the iron horse of the old hot Spurs, until the 09-10 season, the Suns finally swept the Spurs in the second round of the playoffs and stepped onto the stage of the Western Conference Finals. But in the Western Conference Finals they lost 4-2 to the Lakers, who had Kobe Bryant and Gasol at the time, and this season can be said to be Nash's closest to the championship.
Nash chose to join the Lakers in 12 years, teaming up with Kobe Howard Gasol to fight for the championship. Such a historical luxury lineup really makes people think that they can win the championship lying down, but in fact, it is not. The Lakers f4 has never been able to truly integrate, Nash is constantly injured like a curse, helpless in 15 years Nash can only choose to retire. Fortunately, in the end, in 2017, he got a championship ring as a warrior development consultant, which is also a dream of that year.
Now nash as the nets head coach, there are Durant, Harden, Irving three plus a number of outstanding players, the new season of healthy nets will be the most favorable contenders for the championship, here to bless Nash, bless the Nets! I wish every player the best they can do away from injuries.
