Beijing time on December 17, the NBA regular season continues, today the Suns sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Wizards, the recent state of the Wizards is not good, before this game in the past 16 games they lost 11 games, the team also fell from the previous top three in the East to the eighth position, and today facing the Suns without Booker, it is a good opportunity for them to win and improve morale, but even without Booker, the Suns' lineup strength is still very strong, they easily defeated the Wizards 118-98.
The Suns showed how great their roster was, with a total of eight players scoring in double figures: Ayton had 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, Paul had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Bridges and Payne both scored 11 points, Crowder scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, McGee scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Shamet scored 16 points, Cameron Johnson had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and the team's 11 players played in double figures...
The Suns can rank in the top two of the league this season is by the thickness of their lineup, so far this season they are averaging 8 people in double figures, which is very rare for a team, even if Crowder, who ranks ninth in the whole team, he also has an average of 9.4 points per game, this season's Suns are still worth looking forward to, because their lineup thickness can also be ranked in the top three in the league, and even the first.
The Wizards on the side of Bill tried his best, 11 of 18 shots, 2 of 3 of three points took 26 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal data, the recent state of Beal has picked up, but the team's offseason introduction of several outstanding blue-collar workers, but in the recent performance is very crotch, this campaign Kuzma 6 shots 2 of 6 shots to take 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists data, plus or minus -33 the worst on the team, Pope shot 3 of 9, 3 points 5 of 1 to get 9 points and 1 rebound.
Harrell performed better, 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists on 4-of-7 shooting, but because his height was too big and the gap between Ayton and McGee did not get too many playing opportunities, the best performance of the team today besides Bill was Avdia, who scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 5-of-6 shooting, and last game against Kings Avdia was 5 of 10 in the game, and 15 points and 5 rebounds were 2 of 4 three-pointers.
When Wei Shao replaced the Lakers with three blue-collar workers, some fans and friends questioned the Lakers' losses, and now it seems? Stars are stars, role players can give the team promotion is limited, before some fans said that James limited kuzma's height, Kuzma also said that he sacrificed a lot for the Lakers, but in the Wizards he got more opportunities, the result is similar to last season, this season averaged 13.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, shooting 42% from the field and 34.8% from three-point range.
Last season, he averaged 12.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, shooting 44% from the field and 36.1% from three-point range, making him less efficient overall than last season. Kuzma is overrated, if he can't play well in the near future, he will lose the starting position, and now Thatavdia has begun to cash in on his talent, and Yamura is about to return, the Wizards are not short of manpower on the front, and the positions of Pop and Harrell are much more stable in comparison.
After the loss, the Wizards' record has come to 15 wins and 15 losses, although the winning rate is still half complete, but they have been equal to the Tenth Eagles in the East, and one careless will fall out of the top eight, and the highlight performance at the beginning of the season is still difficult to hide the true face of the pseudo-strong team?
