NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 366 The decline of traditional point guards
At halftime, the Suns trailed by 30 points, and they had nothing to gain.

No, something was gained, Ayton and Monty had a fierce quarrel and were directly pressed to the bench.

The matter of his contract extension has finally come to an end, and the Suns are likely to give up on him.

The score was behind, and the general had conflicts with the head coach. Except for the most die-hard fans, no one believed that Solar would come back.

The most die-hard fans are still unwilling to give up, because there are still reversals after all.

In the first round of the 2012 playoffs, Paul's Clippers played against the Grizzlies and trailed by 27 points at most. However, in the last quarter, the Clippers were fully fired, winning by 24 points in a single quarter, and the team narrowly beat their opponents by 99-98 by 1 point.

Will such a miracle still happen?

Monty is still insisting, encouraging players not to give up.

Paul also stood up and even encouraged everyone with the comeback game of the year.

At the beginning of the second half, the Suns took a break and made a desperate move. The offense really improved, but they didn't see any hope from beginning to end.

Because of the Lakers' offense, it was even better than in the first half.

The Suns completely gave up on defense and speeded up the game, and then speeded up. Only in this way can they hope to recover the score.

Life is always full of hope, and so is the game.

But occasionally there is despair.

As the Lakers scored more and more accurate three-pointers, the faces of the Suns fans all turned green, and they turned their backs one after another, making noises to vent their depression.

It's a pity that Monty has a bad face all the time and has the best record, but now, this record is more like an irony.

He is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

This is not the first black eight in the NBA. As early as 1994, Uncle Mu played a bloody battle against the Seattle SuperSonics in the Nuggets.

At that time, the first round of the playoffs was still 5 wins in 3 games. The Sonics led 2:0 in the first two games, but the situation changed suddenly in the third game. The Nuggets won three games in a row relying on their strong defense.

The biggest contributor to the team's victory was Uncle Mu. In this round of the series, Uncle Mu averaged 12.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and 6.2 blocks per game.

Seattle was 63 wins and 19 losses that year, which was a little bit worse than the Suns.

But this is definitely the most brutal tie-break, the game took only half time, the home team was beaten.

Now the point difference is running towards 40 points.

If this was a regular game, the Suns might have surrendered long ago, but this is a life-and-death battle. Neither the coach nor the players will allow themselves to give up the game so quickly.

The game turned into a torture.

The Lakers didn't dare to pull back, the Suns didn't replace the main players, and no one knew whether the style of the game would change in the rest of the game.

It's not a game that hasn't been reversed.

Monty still made a decision. Although he didn't give up, he replaced the substitute in advance.

The Lakers also replaced 360, keeping Meng Hua and other young players, Warcraft and Melon also played.

The bigger the game, the more comfortable it is. Even if the three giants are all rested, the Lakers are still on the offensive.

After the third quarter, the Lakers won another 12 points in a single quarter, and the point difference was pulled to 42 points.

This season, the Lakers have never had such a hearty victory. At the critical moment, they rebounded strongly and dedicated the most exciting game.

The game completely lost suspense, and many Suns fans chose to leave.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Lakers' Stanley Johnson, Gabriel, Ellington, Jones and Augustine played one after another.

If someone told them before the game that they would play at the last moment, they would probably think this person was crazy.

"It can't be like this, it can't be like this." Barkley muttered to himself and kept shaking his head. He was well-informed, and this ball was completely beyond his imagination.

"The Lakers are cruel." Smith pleaded for the sun.

"The Lone Ranger is probably trembling." O'Neal began to look forward to the next round.

In Tencent Studio, the commentators are getting excited, and the more they spend, the more excited they are. Compared with TNT commentators, they have a stronger tendency.

Wang Meng and Yang Yi intentionally or unintentionally wanted to attribute the credit to Meng Hua.

There is no need for the two of them, in fact, this will only recruit Meng Hua.

How well the game is played, the fans have a steelyard in their hearts, and it is objective and fair not to brag or criticize.

The big score wins, and the biggest contributors are James, Nongmei and Westbrook.

Meng Hua's role was to restrain the opponent's main attacker, but in this game, the Suns did not have a main attacker, so the offensive efficiency was terrible no matter what point it was.

Of course, the two commentators are also aware of this point, but if they don't set up some clear-cut topics, there is no way to attract people.

Although he recruited Meng Hua, he attracted more fans.

Because although they are Meng Chui, they are not brainless Chui.

You can't say that Meng Hua is the rebounding leader when he grabs a rebound, you have to be reasonable and reasonable, and you have to present the facts and make sense.

The players of the two teams finally exhausted the fourth quarter, and the Lakers eliminated the Suns 123-90 and entered the next round with their heads held high.

At the end of the game, the Lakers players were celebrating, and Meng Hua ran back to the locker room immediately.

Still don't irritate Paul.

Go away by yourself.

In this round of the series, he didn't always defend Paul, but Paul is still a bit ugly after finding out the direct matchup data between the two.

Paul's fans will say that the competition has never been heads-up, but heads-up has always been part of the game.

You play the pick and roll all the time, but there are times when the play doesn't work, and it's not just up to you, because your teammates don't always run the perfect play.

At this time, the master controller must become an attacker.

For example, in the last attack, when the ball is served, it is directly passed to the attacker, which is simpler and more rude.

Everyone also understands that it is he who will fight.

Now it is passed to Paul, and Paul will still play the ball, but unless the tactics are clearly drawn during the timeout.

Otherwise, the Suns players will be dizzy, they don't know what Paul is going to do.

The Suns have many tactics, and Paul has many choices. In this way, the players are not so determined.

It is precisely because of this that point guards who traditionally do not attack the basket have become increasingly rare.

This is determined by the league's style of encouraging offense.

The league's connivance with the ball holder can be said to be purple.

Calls are different with and without the ball.

So for most ball holders, the first choice is offense, and then assists.

For example, Curry at position 1.5.

In terms of auxiliary skills such as passing the ball and executing tactics, Curry is not as good as Paul.

But Curry can output on the offensive end, crazy output, which allows him to bring his own system.

If you don't double-team, Curry will shoot you directly.

Double-teaming, Curry's three-point shooting is getting farther and farther, and the Logo area is no problem.

As the sun goes down, it will make life more and more difficult for traditional point guards.

The league no longer needs traditional point guards like Paul and Rondo.

What they need is Curry and Doncic, Tre Young and Morant, Van Fleet, Holiday, Garland, and Alexander.

James was interviewed by Zhou Lingan, a beauty reporter from Tencent. He believed that the reason for his victory was the unity of the whole team.

This is a scene talk, a cliché, but it is very correct.

It was indeed the hard work of all members that led to this 33-point carnage.

Zhou Meimei ended the interview happily, but felt a little disappointed.

Meng Hua of the Lakers is also too big. No matter what relationship she has, Meng Hua has made it clear that she will not accept interviews.
