On February 11, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Suns defeated the Bucks 131-107. In last year's finals, the Suns' alphabet brother was exploded, and only 5 of 14 shots were made in this campaign, and only 18 points were finally scored. So why did the Suns, who had no way to take the alphabet brother last season, this ball can perfectly limit the alphabet brother?
It must be admitted that this aspect is because the alphabet brother is really not in good shape in this game. But the more important reason is that the Suns have hoarded heavy troops on the No. 5 position, and they can consume the alphabet brother through wheel war.
Last season, the Suns had only one true No. 5 player in Ayton, Saric was seriously injured in the Finals, Kaminsky could only serve as a space-type interior, and the other two except Ayton could not limit the alphabet brother at all. And Ayton has been playing against the alphabet brother for a long time, because the latter's playing style is extremely impactful, and it is easy to fall into the trouble of fouls. Once Ayton fouled too many times, the Suns' defensive system collapsed, which was an important reason for their loss in the Finals.
In order to solve this problem, the Suns first signed McGee this season, and then accidentally picked up the treasure of Biyongbo. So they can send 3 centers in the No. 5 position to fight against the alphabet brother, Ayton no longer has to worry about too many personal fouls and no substitutes, dare to give the alphabet brother physical strength, and McGee and Biyombo (especially the latter), even if they can't completely defend the alphabet brother, can play a role in depleting his physical strength.
In this case, although Alphabet Brother won 14 free throws in the whole game, while the Suns' three centers suffered 10 fouls, especially Biyombo suffered 5 fouls in just 11 minutes. But with plenty of manpower available, the Suns were able to handle it with ease. In the end, not only was the alphabet brother limited, but in terms of interior scoring, the Suns also won 68-50 by 18 points.
Judging from the current situation, the Suns have hoarded the No. 5 position in large quantities, which is indeed very prescient and has also played a very good effect. It's no wonder that Suns coach Monty Williams said at a press conference after the game that the victory gave the Suns confidence.
