Chapter 515 Good Chemistry
In this game, power forward Bargnani, who was absent from the previous game, returned to the field, and the team's starting lineup has once again become the same as it has been since the beginning of the season. Ed Davis once again returned to the bench.
The starting lineup of the Suns in the away game is: Center - Marcin Gortat, power forward - Markieff Morris, small forward - Michael Beasley, shooting guard - Shannon Brown, point guard - Golan Dragic.
None of the five starting players of the Suns currently averages more than 5 points per game.To say that there is no talent, Beasley was also overflowing with talent back then, and Shannon Brown's bounce is the top in the league.But it is such a player who did not use his talent to improve his competitive level, and finally ended up wandering in the league and became a bargaining chip.
"Polish Hammer" Gortat and Valanciunas, two European big men, stood near the middle circle and prepared to jump the ball.With the increasing internationalization of the NBA, more and more talented foreign players are pouring in to compete with the basketball talents in the United States.
The Raptors themselves are an international column, whether they are core players or rotation players, they all have a large number of foreign players.This team also has the unique "yellow backcourt" of Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin in the league.
Gortat beats Valanciunas with a jump ball and Dragic dribbles over to set up the offense at the top of the key.After Nash left, Dragic ushered in an opportunity. His offensive organization naturally has a certain gap with the master Nash, but he is younger. As the Suns rebuilding the team, he is a more suitable person.
Gortat came up for the pick-and-roll. He had played many pick-and-rolls with Nash before, and he was already familiar with it.As a European insider, his pick-and-roll is strict, his timing is in place, and he has the ability to control the ball that blue-collar centers don't have.
The Suns don’t have a clear offensive core, and they play casually. Players like Beasley and Shannon Brown are a bit “crazy”. If they play crazy, they are All-Stars, otherwise they are cancerous...
After going down, Gortat missed a tough hook - the rebound was accepted by Ying Xiong, and he pushed forward.
If the Suns say that their offense is touch-based, then their defense, that's okay... Since the Suns in D'Antoni's era, they have not always been a team that is good at defense. The team's backcourt commander Nash is limited Physical condition, defense is a weakness, plus D'Antoni is not a defensive coach, congenitally deficient + acquired do not pay attention, poor defense is also reasonable.Now that Nash is gone and Dragic is in charge, the team still doesn't have an excellent defensive player inside and outside the gate, and the team doesn't have a defensive system, and there is no effort to rebuild the team. The result is that the defense is rare** ****Slee came over to defend Ying Xiong. Facing the former No. [-] pick, Ying Xiong played a block and cut tactic with Bargnani after receiving the ball from Jeremy Lin, and the opponent didn't know who to defend.
Ying Xiong feels that it is a pity that Beasley is a player. His offensive talent is really outstanding. If he can have the self-discipline and hard work of Kobe and James, even if his achievements are not as good as theirs, he is at least an All-Star player now. How can it be that he has been wandering in the league like he is now.
Ying Xiong will not be merciful, this alliance is full of backward waves pushing forward waves, and the most indispensable thing is genius.If you don't work hard, don't blame the team for not giving you a chance.Opportunities are never given by others, but by fighting for them.
Ying Xiong held the ball to compress the defense, then passed the ball without looking at anyone, and passed it to Bargnani outside the 3-point line, who easily made a 3-pointer.
Bargnani is playing very well now. He doesn't need to play center now, and he doesn't need to fight with those muscular sticks inside. He can play his favorite mobile offense.He doesn't mind being inferior to DeRozan or even Jeremy Lin in this team.He knows that if the team points at him to push the inside like last season, what if he is the team's second head?The season is reimbursed, even if it is the second master, it is estimated that it will not get any good contract.In the NBA, if you want to get a good contract, you still need data after all.
Here, Dragic gave the ball to Shannon Brown, who beat DeRozan hard, stepped back and shot a jumper... This ball was very difficult, and DeRozan did not lose his position.
The ball was not shot, Jeremy Lin had quick eyesight, got a long rebound, and made a clever pass to find a teammate who was going down quickly.
Ying Xiong took the lead. After receiving the pass from Jeremy Lin, he accelerated instantly, threw away Beasley who came over to steal the ball, and made a diagonal stab to the 3-point line. Amidst the screams of the fans at the scene, he completed a 360 turn Windmill Dunk!
At the beginning of the game, a wave of offensive and defensive transition led by Ying Xiong hit a small climax, and the atmosphere on the scene was completely mobilized.The fans were extremely excited, watching the home team slaughter weak opponents, this feeling is so cool!Except for hardcore fans, other fans just want to relax and relax when watching the game. It is natural to feel happy to see the home team beat the opponent at home.
Here Markieff Morris still missed a mid-range jumper, Valanciunas protected the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.The players of the Suns, in front of a strong opponent and the interference of the opponent's home fans, seemed a little at a loss. The offensive rhythm was not on point, and they played badly in several offenses.
Jeremy Lin held the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong, who was in the high position. Ying Xiong didn't stop the ball, and threw the ball to the basket. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the basket.
DeRozan started from the baseline, jumped with one foot, grabbed the ball with one hand and dunked the ball hard into the basket!
6:0, the Suns have not scored 1 point since the start, while the Raptors made all 3 shots.Coach Lindsay Hunter immediately requested a timeout!
The home team played aggressively at the beginning of the game, and the scene fell into a cheerful and peaceful atmosphere.
There is a clear gap in the strength of the two teams. If the Suns can't play offensively, it is undoubtedly a dream to rely on their bottom defense in the league to limit the Raptors' offensive strength of the league's top three.
In the next game, the Raptors kept pressing their opponents. Unlike the game against the Grizzlies, he didn't even sweat much in this game. The opponent's defense was too poor, and there was almost no desire to fight and toughness.
Ying Xiong clocked out of get off work in 3 quarters, helping the team to a big victory, making a good start for December.The victory of this game also helped the Raptors improve their record to 12 wins and 11 losses, and continue to move towards the top 6 in the Eastern Conference.
After a run-in in November, the current Raptors, the chemical reaction between the newly added players and the original players during the offseason is getting better and better, which provides a strong support for the team to move towards a higher goal.
