The NBA regular season continued, and the Suns' game against the Pistons officially began. Before the game, I believe almost all fans will predict that the Sun will be able to win this game. After all, the overall strength of the sun is far stronger than the piston. Sure enough, after the game started, the Sun played very fast on the offensive end, and the stability of the attack was also very high. In the first quarter, the Suns led by four points. In the second quarter, the Suns led by 10 points. At the end of the third quarter, the Suns led by 21 points. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Suns easily defeated the Pistons 135-108.
In this game, the main factor of the Pistons' loss is nothing more than the lack of control of details. Below, take a look at a few pieces of data to understand. Rebounding: The Suns grabbed 51 rebounds and the Pistons grabbed 32 rebounds. In terms of assists: The Suns gave 30 assists and the Pistons gave 25 assists. In terms of free throw shooting percentage: The Suns shot 73% from the free throw and the Pistons shot 67% from the free throws. As the saying goes, "the details are absolutely everything" Yes, this phrase is most appropriate in this game, but if the Pistons can be serious, they will not lose so badly.
Well, after talking about the losing Pistons, let's talk about the suns that win. Again, almost all fans had predicted it before the Suns won the game. After all, the hard power of the sun is there. To this end, this article will not talk to you about the overall process of the sun winning. However, the editor of this article would like to focus on the player McGee. McGee played 15 minutes off the bench, shooting 9-of-10 and 2-of-4 from the free throws, scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block, plus-minus +8. Yes, McGee's stats really don't shine enough on the Suns, he doesn't have as many points as Bookerdo, he doesn't have as many rebounds as Crowder, and his plus-minus is not as high as Paul's. However, I would say that McKee's help to the sun is very important.
Offensively, McGee is the only inside player to be able to gain a foothold on the inside after Ayton's game. He doesn't need the ball on the offensive end, and he doesn't need to hold the ball alone. McGee did the most on the offensive end, blocking and then quickly picking up teammates' passes and scoring the ball. There is also the opportunity to actively run the position to find an empty connection. To borrow a phrase from fans, eating cake McGee by Paul's side is commonplace. Of course, McGee's frontcourt rebounding is very fierce, and his second attack is also his best play. In addition to his offensive efficiency, McGee is the best defender on the inside since Ayton came off the field. McGee has height, an arm span, and good defensive experience. To that end, he can do well on the inside, whether it is single defense or assistant McGee, he can win more rest time for Ayton on the court, and let the Suns survive the time without Ayton.
Again, although McGee's data is not beautiful enough, McGee's role is worthy of his contract. Of course, McKee was also very happy to play at the Sun, and we can see in his smile how satisfied he is. Since the word happy is mentioned here, we have to think of Howard of the Lakers. If McKee was very happy in the sun, Howard might not be so happy at the Lakers. Howard may be better than McGee in terms of strength, but mcGee is luckier than Howard in terms of team selection. To sum it up: "It's really important to be a team in the NBA."
