The perfect game for the Lone Ranger

Lone Ranger and Suns' G3 is a very emotional game. If Kidd could deliver some passionate speeches on the sidelines—willy Green's passionateness, or Mike Malone's hoarse emotion—it would be more tear-jerking.

Doncic played in the Lone Rangers for three years, fell in front of the Clippers twice, although the Clippers did not reach the end, but they were almost the most favored Western teams in those two years, Doncic and the Lone Rangers can spell out suspense, which is very remarkable. This season, the Lone Ranger came out of the chaos of the beginning of the season, first transformed into a defensive team, then became both offensive and defensive, and slashed the Jazz in the case of Doncic's injury, such a plot is inspiring enough, but if it is accompanied by the end of being swept out by the sun, there are some regrets.

The Lone Ranger can't beat the Suns in the past two years, and the Suns super will prevent Doncic and Powell's blocking, and can make the Lone Ranger's not tall interior line pay the price, and make fewer mistakes than the Lone Ranger who doesn't make many mistakes. Even if it's not about tianke, the sun is at least the type that the lone ranger doesn't like. G1G2's game scene is a bit desperate, you can't say that you can't see the hope of the lone ranger to win, but you really can't see the strategic adjustment space, they have so many cards in their hands, they should have used it for a long time, and all they can do is fine-tune the details and improve the execution level. Trailing 0-2, there is no way back, G3 is a game that must be played better, every link can not make mistakes, it is not easy, but the Lone Ranger did it.

G3, Paul made 7 turnovers, which is his playoff record. Some of them are their own problems, such as at least two of the three mistakes in the first quarter that can be avoided. But with just four assists on 7 turnovers, it's certainly not easy. The Suns shot 46.4 percent from three-point range in the game, the shooter responded to the qualified, Crowder competed, the team was inaccurate in the middle distance, this rise and a drop, the jump shot was basically conserved, the key was that the internal and external connections were cut off by the Lone Ranger, and this part was originally the Suns' strongest offensive weapon.

There are two defensive problems that the Lone Ranger can't solve:

G1 concentrated display, single defense can not interfere with Ayton. Ayton has a large shooting radius, a soft feel, and the ability of the sun to feed him the ball is strong, which causes the Lone Ranger to be uncomfortable no matter what strategy he keeps, as long as Ayton is there;

G2 is shown in concentration, and Doncic is named. Paul's outburst, almost everyone was looking for Doncic.

The quality of individual soldiers is not passed, which limits the defensive ceiling of the lone ranger, which is also the reason why they can theoretically change defenses, but in fact they cannot block the sun with changes. It's not easy for the Lone Ranger to solve these two problems, and Ayton is not Gobert, so it's not good to prevent him from catching the ball. Paul is not Mitchell, in case he is not good at pinching. If the break defense is the weakness of the Sun, then the change of defense is probably not the strong point of the Lone Ranger, and the strongest project of the Lone Ranger's defense, the rotation, corresponds to the Sun's strongest ability - to transfer the ball.

Kidd eventually believed in the team's proud rotational ability, and solved both problems (temporarily) by being holistic. It's remarkable, the Lone Ranger has pulled the strategy details and execution all over.

How did the Lone Ranger prevent Ayton and McGee?

The weak side goes to the middle to assist in defending, interfering with the center to catch the ball. The timing is also very precise, always at the moment when the ball carrier has the ball, Ayton will encounter a 2-1 situation when he receives the ball.

The Suns soon saw through the Lone Ranger's defensive methods and began to deliberately find the weak side shooter first, so the Lone Ranger's no-ball defense and the Sun's ball began to fight, the Lone Ranger was stunned to win the Suns in the game under the basket and the weak side, and few teams could do this.

The center blocked and dismantled, and the Sun repeated the trick and began to grab Doncic. The lone ranger's approach is for Doncic to delay first, then chase back, and if the line defense is broken or torn apart by the pass, it will be made up by rotating at other points. Kléber's basket protection this time is very good, and he always has a weak side teammate behind him to help Kaayden avoid 1 anti-2 leaks and leaks under the basket.

Since it is going to be delayed, there is no way to do it without leaks, this lone ranger let Claude have a lot of opportunities, Claude seized it, but the lone ranger's defensive purpose was still achieved, the third and fourth quarters with Paul, Booker's roll call fight, the lone ranger's defensive performance is much better than G2.

I love the way the Lone Ranger limits the sun, with his back to the cliff, and responds positively to his opponent's strongest weapon with the content of the game he insists on, believes, and is proud of. Hard work pays off, effort pays off, and the end of the strategy is pure self, perfect execution, and the greatest affirmation of a season's efforts.

At the other end of the court is the part that the Lone Ranger did well before, and the G3 did it better. Bronson took the first round of performances back, and it was clear that the Lone Ranger was expecting Bronson's high-level play. G3 opened, Doncic is still full of firepower, but unlike G1G2, Bronson is more active, the middle shot is extremely resolute, the lone ranger needs him to find the state earlier, the team is very clear, no matter how Doncic gives and takes, the Sun will use the wheel war at both ends of the attack and defense to exhaust his physical strength, the lone ranger needs double insurance. In both the third and fourth quarters, Doncic was in foul trouble, and there was a Bronson who could continue the firepower, so that the Lone Ranger did not lose the lead.

Bronson's method of penetrating the Sun defense line is simple and rough, most of the rounds are hard to beat Booker, the difficulty is extremely high, whether the effect can be maintained is a question mark, this is a struggle before falling into a desperate situation, or Bronson found the skill of eating Booker alone, which needs to be verified by G4.

Whether Bronson can continue or not will also determine the Suns' strategy of defending Doncic. In three games, the Suns basically insisted on single defense, but in different situations, there were slight differences. For example, when Doncic catches the inside misalignment, the Suns will make the nearby no-ball defender move closer to the side holding the ball, and swipe the card to slow down Doncic's breakthrough to avoid the big man being passed too fast.

When Doncic hit Bridges directly, or grabbed Booker and Paul, the Sun basically had no co-defense protection. Ayton lacks the sense of recovery when playing against the shooter, which is also an old problem on his defensive end. But Doncic plays non-center players, relying on strength to push in, and the consumption is large enough that the Sun can accept it. But after Bronson can share doncic's pressure, will the Suns stick to the attrition strategy, preferring to let Doncic play one or the other?

If the Lone Ranger's defense and Bronson's form can survive, Monty will have to make a choice. He is close to the situation kidd faces, the opponent's attack is a few bottles of poison, there is no perfect cracking strategy, nothing more than scale and detail adjustment, and finally fight or execution.

Two technical flow teams that make fewer mistakes and have better execution, compete with those who make fewer mistakes and perform better, compared with the series where talents collide, they are really involved in home. But it was the ultimate in skill, awareness, teamwork and discipline that made paul, Booker, Doncic, Bronson, and Kidd and Monty lead the team. The most extreme content outside of the original talent is in this series.
