Beijing time on January 7, the NBA regular season continued, today the Sun sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Clippers, one is the sun with excellent lineup thickness, the two cores are all playing, the other is the team's two cores are injured Clippers, the paper strength of the two teams is obviously not in a grade, and finally the sun did not let the accident happen, they took the Clippers 106-89 lightly, although they lost, but the Clippers' fighting spirit is commendable.
The clippers played best on the side of this campaign is Morris Jr., 8 of 17 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 26 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Reggie is not efficient, 5 of 16 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers took 16 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Bledsoe is more crotch, 4 of 12 shots, 3 of 3 points, 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 mistakes, Bledsohan has a highlight performance, when he took Beverly for him was really a loss.
The Suns side is 5 people to score in double figures, Booker is not in good shape today, 5 of 22 shots, 7 of 3 points 0 to get 11 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, but Cameron Johnson replaced his role well, 9 of 14 shots, 7 of 3 points, 4 of 3 points, 24 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, the attack and defense are very good, Paul cut a triple-double, 14 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals on 5 of 14 shots, and only 1 turnover in the whole game 10 assists. Paul was really good.
It is worth mentioning that Paul has won 474 assists + scoring double-doubles, so far he has also surpassed the big O to the third position in history, in front of him are the magician and Stockton two famous stars, and the 13 rebounds in a single game is also Paul's career record, I did not expect that at the age of 36, Paul created a new career high rebounding number, it is really the older the demon, and cutting a triple-double is also paul's first time in the season.
Jaylen Smith shot 9-of-17 from the field, 1 of 2-of-3 points to 19 points, 14 rebounds and 1 assist, since Ayton was injured, Jaylen Smith got a chance, the 10th show last season has scored 19+ in the past 4 games and 3 games, it is really no Paul can not feed the inside line! Payne played steadily, shooting 4-of-9 from the field and 1-of-1 from three-point range to score 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
The Suns won three straight after winning, they were the first team of the season to win 30 wins, during this period although Crowder and Ayton were absent, but this did not seem to affect the Suns' record, their lineup thickness is indeed fantastic, Ayton absent Jaylen Smith topped up, and Crowder's absence is Cameron Johnson to top, the past period of Cameron Johnson has been very good.
In the last four games, he can average 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.2 steals, 0.5 blocks, shooting 58.7%, 55% three-point shooting, and 4 three-pointers per game is very good, which is even better than Bridges, the past four games Bridges can average 11.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 47.9%, 45% three-point shooting, although it is also efficient enough, But compared to Cameron Johnson, it is really much worse.
Cameron Johnson averaged 11.5 points per game this season, three-point shooting rate of 44%, he just did not get as many opportunities as now or his data would be better, this offseason is Cameron facing the problem of early contract extension, he is better than Bridges, who signed 4 years and 90 million, how big a contract to give? It is estimated that the sun will be depressed.
