In a Western Conference showdown that ended earlier, the Suns lost to the Pelicans 103-118 on the road, and the total score was chased by the Pelicans to a 2-2 draw.
The old cannon G3 exploded, shocking the world, but the sun could not expect an old man of thirty and seven to eat dumplings back, and people were not the masters of this bowl of rice. Instead of thinking about getting Paul to score more goals, think about how to do a good job of defense.
The Suns' defensive arrangement for Ingram is roughly like this: Crowder blocks the outside line and blocks the middle shot of the Warbler; inside stands Ayton or McGee to constantly make up for Ayton's breakthrough; bridges and Paul swim outside, sometimes packing.
Sounds like a good idea, but the fight is not like that, Ingram is full of strength to fight inside, not even tactical, everyone in the room pulled away,
A disguise, a fake move, Crowder is set in place, a speed-up to the inside line, or dunks, or pull bars, and the defender can only either foul or watch his goal.
Judging from this inning alone, the Suns can't solve Ingram's singles, let alone Valan's supremacy under the basket.
The duo drive of Yingge and Varan successfully turned the Sun's tight defense into a sieve, so that the Alliance overlord completely lost his cool.
The outside body confrontation has not stopped, the Pelicans a group of more than two meters of forwards, and the Suns of this group of 1 meters 9 defenders play muscle friction, play a lot of fun, pelicans play cool, the sun is difficult to top ah.
Can't stand it, what to do? Tactics can't run, what to do? Hand the ball over to the superstars to solve.
Unfortunately, the superstar who can singles is offstage, and this one on stage does not eat by scoring.
Paul tried to single many times, and the result was that the frame was iron, and even the big hat, and the old 6 was robbed.
Throughout the game, Paul scored only 4 points on 2-of-8 shooting, equaling Paul's single-game record for the lowest score in the playoffs.
The last time Paul scored 4 points was in the "58 Massacre" at the New Orleans Hornets.
In the second half, the Suns were powerless to fight back, watching the big score being equalized by their opponents. Everything is back to the new starting line, the sun is dangerous, but at this moment it is more necessary to calm down.
Looking at the past matches of Yingge and Varane, the two are indeed capable, but they are not defenseless, and they strictly implement every tactic, do not leak people, do not lose their positions, are not afraid of physical confrontation, and how to win or lose is still unknown.
But one important point to emphasize – congratulations Pelicans, you've surprised everyone.
