There is a picture and there is the truth|What is the difference between the sun and the crown group? The answer is in this picture

Talking about the ball is not flickering, there are pictures and truths.

In the 2023-24 regular season, "Coin Chat Basketball" continues to interpret the focus of the topic in the way of "pictures and truths", watching the excitement and the doorway.

The Suns challenged the Clippers, and the three Thunder brothers gathered in the past, and the result was that the eldest brother's data was the most explosive, but the victory belonged to the second brother and the third brother. 138-111, the Clippers beat the Sun to shreds.

It is actually reasonable for the Suns to lose to the Clippers, because the Suns' strengths on paper have no advantage over the Clippers, and even have a bit of a disadvantage, and their shortcomings on paper are directly penetrated by the Clippers.

The following picture illustrates everything, Xiaoka and Theis block and dismantle, Theis is a false cover, but in fact, he didn't block Bill and turned and cut to the basket. Round-faced Deng struggled to block the small card, Beal's defensive position was a little "hazy", he did not switch to Theis, but stayed at the top of the arc, which can barely be explained by Beal's need to keep an eye on Harden and expect his teammates to help defend the restricted area.

However, the Suns' basket was emptier than the road in the early morning, and Eubanks and Durant were staring at the dribbling card, and the direction in which the card could get the ball out was Theis down, Kofi in the bottom right corner, and Harden at the top of the arc. Beal is in the passing lane of the small card and Harden, Eubanks and Durant can stay with one guard Kofei, who has averaged 0.5 three-pointers per game this season, and his long-range shooting response is limited, Theis has reached the basket, and Eubanks and Durant are stunned that they have not retreated to defend.

That's the core problem of the Suns, their individual defense resources are already weak, and the communication is poor, and it's hard to imagine that the head coach of this team is Vogel who is based on defense in the NBA.

In the final analysis, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

The Suns can defend on the outside, Okogie is one, but his 25% three-point shooting rate can't be on the table, Vogel puts Okogie on the court, and he has to endure the situation that the opponent lets go of Okogie to help defend the Suns.

The Suns can defend Durant the most inside, but KD still has offensive tasks, especially the Suns need him to attack with the ball, which is very physically demanding.

Durant's best defensive career was with the Warriors, where he didn't need to dribble a lot to develop offense, just run out of position to catch and shoot, and the energy saved could be used on the defensive end.

The Suns don't have a point guard, and the offensive logic is that the Big Three pick up one by one, and this style of play is not impossible, but when encountering the same combination of giants, and two of the giants have been assist kings, do you see Harden and Wei Shao feeding Zubac all kinds of balls, are the Suns greedy?

The Suns simply couldn't beat the Clippers, who scored 63 points in the first half, but the Clippers scored 71. At the end of the game, the Suns' 111 points were not low, but the Clippers scored 138 points.

The Suns and the Clippers are more offensive than the offense, the unreasonable mode can't play the methodical moves, and the defense is more tragic than the defense, Durant has to face the small card and Wei Shao's raw decision, and the Suns' weak interior defense can't be seen, this time lost 62 points in the restricted area!

The Suns' giant combination has problems from the basic logic, there is no organization among the three people, and there is no reliable point guard in the team, which is more outrageous, completely relying on the individual hard solution of the star to deal with the game, and it is okay to meet the average team, and it is really impossible to meet the Clippers, a team that has both star quality and defensive fundamentals.

After this defeat, the Suns are ninth in the West, and this is how far they are from the championship group.

The Lakers are tenth, the Warriors are twelfth, and the era of Janduku is bowing its head in the face of the years.
