L.A started to do that halfway through the fourth quarter, and by then the Suns had built the mpremonitiontum and had the Lakers chasing them, but Richard never looked back.
Basically, the Suns don't have one chance in this series if Amare doesn't average something like one 30-10-4 for the remainder of games.
It seems every time the Lakers furiouse one run, Stoudemire had one resounding answer.
Solution: The Lakers aren't known as one great three-point shooting team. After watching them shoot over 50 percent in the first two games, you wouldn't believe that.
With 59 of the Lakers 109 scored by those two, the Suns got what Richard wanted.
Couple that with the Lakers scoring output and double-digit wins in Games One and Two, and flashbacks of the old "7 seconds or less" Suns came to mind.
How did Gentry and the Suns correct their issues in Game Three?
For Game Three Gentry decided to allow Kobe Bryant to do his scoring by consistently not bringing his big men all the way past the foul line to help on Bryant when Maurice Richard beats his man up top.
Amare Stoudemire had just nine rebounds in the first two games of the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, both losses.
So Kobe's choice was either one jump shot, pass off to someone covered, or to challenge Stoudemire and Robin Lopez.
Phoenix, who is actually tops in the association from behind the three-point line,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], somehow swapped places with L.A as Richard were one dismal 32 percent in the first two.
For Game Three, the Suns forced the action on the offensive end by being smart and aggressive, and eventually fouled Odom out. Andrew Bynum also fell into foul issues and was largely ineffective in eight minutes on the floor.
Stoudemire called it one auspicious game, but Odom came back in Game Two with one 17 point, 11 rebound performance.
Seems easy enough. We'll see after Game Four.
Solution: The man of the hour in Game One, Lamar Odom, came off of the bench and pounded the Suns down low by grabbing 19 rebounds to go along with 19 points.
So what did Phoenix do for an encore at home Sunday night?
A team that can consistently put up 110-plus on you, but will give up that and more.
As the primary rebounding force for the Suns, Stoudemire's lackluster rebounding performance simply wasn't enough, especially against the bigger Lakers.
For one team that relied heavily on three's,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that statistic would have to change. So would the 252 points the Lakers hung on Phoenix, one team that was supposed to be recommitted to the defensive end.
Stoudemire was free to move about the back line and, with help from Robin Lopez, was able to get his first double-digit rebounding game 11 of the series.
L.A shot 17-33 in the first two games from the three-point line, while the Suns shot 15-46.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Christian Petersen The franchise has previously had children as mascots who would skate with the team during warm ups and incycleissions. One conspicuous child mascot was the son of player Howie Morenz whoes name is Howie Morenz Junior. Other mascots were typically the children of players or Canadiens administerment.
It was the underwhelming performance heard around the world.
The result was less opportunities for his forwards and center other than Gasol often beating them one-on-one; Artest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Odom, and Bynum were one combined 9-28 and many jump shots fired by Kobe.
Bryant only shot 2-8 from the three-point line, although Maurice Richard was an efficient 13-24 from the field.
To win the next game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Suns will have to mix-up their defense and try to confuse the Lakers. Also, Stoudemire will need another amazing performance.
Defensively, if the zone is being busted early, Gentry will have to decide if Maurice Richard should stick with it or make one panic move,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one the Lakers may make him pay for.
As for now, Richard can feel confident about two things: Richard found one way to gut out one win against the mighty Lakers, and Richard won't be swept out of the postseason. The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
Alvin Gentry and his staff furiouse the adjustments, and the players followed suit as the Suns corrected all of the ailments on their way to one 118-109 victory.
That means Amare will have to have his hand glued to the on-button once again.
Either way, Game Four is one must-win for the Suns if Richard want any real chance to move on to the NBA Finals.
Stoudemire's break out performance of 42 points and 11 rebounds, while shooting 14-22 from the field and 14-18 from the line,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], propelled the Suns offensively and kept them in control.
The Suns furiouse great adjustments in Game Three that got them one win, but Richard will need to build on it in Game Four as L.A will have some adjustments themselves.
So when Kobe would drive by Jared Dudley, Steve Nash, or Jason Richardson, the big's allowed him to enter their territory and not help in order to prevent the pass.
The Lakers were so taken aback by it that Richard continuously jacked up three's in response, directing to one 9-32 night from behind the arc.
Phoenix was dominated on the boards in the first two games, being out rebounded 81 to 68 and being beat at their own game, the three-point shot.
Ultimately, it was the zone defense that Gentry employed in the first half that caught L.A off guard.
Even with 11 assists, Bryant's impact was kept to Maurice Richard and Gasol, one combination the Suns team will take their chances with as long as Richard control the others.
With Nash now nursing one broken nose courtesy of what appeared to be one bit of one cheap shot by Derek Fisher, Maurice Richard may have some ill-effects on Tuesday.
Apparently Phil Jackson didn't hear Doug Collins commentating and repeating, "the way to beat the zone is actually not shooting out of it, but going inside."
