Beijing time on December 17, the NBA Wizards away challenge to the Suns, the first quarter Bradley Beal 7 shots 5 to score 12 points, but unfortunately the Suns full of firepower, the first quarter after playing the Wizards fell behind by 8 points, the second quarter of the Sun played a single quarter of 19 shots 13 in the efficient output, they extended the lead to 12 points, the third quarter of the Suns firmly controlled the situation, they used more free throws to expand the lead again, the third quarter of the battle 2 team point difference has reached 18 points, the game basically lost suspense, In the fourth quarter, the Wizards started 5 people with a total of 5 shots and 4 irons, and finally the score was fixed at 98-118, and the Suns beat the Wizards by 20 points to win 2 consecutive wins, and their winning percentage is currently tied with the Warriors for the first place in the league.
The Wizards, who are in a losing streak, lost to the team with the best winning percentage in the league, which is not too surprising, but in this game, the Lakers abandoned Kyle Kuzma's plus-minus is really amazing, his whole game plus-minus of -33 ranks in the bottom of the whole game, Kentawias Caldwell Pope in the penultimate plus-minus is only -23, and more importantly, the last loss to the Kings Kuzma is -10, which ranks 2nd in the whole game. The total plus-minus of the last 2 battles is -43! This is quite a terrible plus-minus performance, Kuzma's recent state is quite depressed, and the ultra-low plus-minus is naturally for a reason, perhaps the absence of 2 games has made him directly lose the rhythm?
In the game against the Suns, Kuzma shot 6 of 2, these 6 shots are 5 seconds to pick up the pot three-point shot iron, 3 seconds to pick up the pot three-point shot iron, make up the basket does not score, pick up the pot after turning over and press the whistle to hit the iron, take the hanging pass to the basket hit, 1 strong hit the inside hit, put aside the 3 shots and makeups, his single shot is actually only 2 times, such Kuzma will make people feel strange, the extremely low offensive desire makes his output problems, in the past 2 games he has a total of 16 shots, hit 5 times, and scored 10 points in total , and in the past 2 games, his defensive efficiency value is 122.4, 136.4, attack is not good, defense is not good, so it is not unusual to play a plus-minus -43 in this case...
Before triggering the health and safety agreement, Kuzma took 26 points + 7 rebounds + 4 assists + 40% of the three-point shooting rate of the Pistons, and then missed 2 games to usher in a comeback, after the comeback he was lost his previous state, the offense did not play, the defense was not hard, this may be a problem caused by the absence of 2 games, this may also be a problem within the Wizards, in short, after being sent to the Wizards by the Lakers, Kuzma's rebounds and assists have improved, but the progress in other aspects is not obvious If he wants to prove himself, it looks like he needs more progress?
