When Jandu teamed up to help the Suns lock in the sixth place in the West and face the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, public opinion can be described as one-sided, because the Suns killed the Timberwolves three times in the regular season, but also because of the strange lineup of the Suns' Big Three, which became the natural nemesis of the Timberwolves, and also made this Western giants team once looked down upon, and also let the Suns beat the Timberwolves lightly and advance to the semifinals stage, which seems to have become a one-sided situation.
Rational analysis, judging from the matchup in the regular season, the sun does have a natural restraint on the timberwolves, if the timberwolves are compared to wood, then the sun is undoubtedly fire, and the restraint of fire on wood can be imagined. Although the Timberwolves have a tall lineup advantage, the outside has Edwards McDaniels two iron cables, and the restricted area Gobert blocks the basket, and the advantage of height and arm length makes some teams who like tandem miserable, but in the face of a team like the Suns that lacks a pure point guard and does not play cards according to common sense, the advantage of the Timberwolves has become the biggest help for the Suns to break through。
In the previous game, whether or not the lineup was complete, the Timberwolves were helpless to take the Suns, three games, the Suns were ahead of the opponent by a large score, especially for Conley's punishment at this point, it made the Timberwolves at a loss, and after the return of Towns, it was impossible to punish the dislocation, which will undoubtedly make the Suns play more and more freely, regardless of whether there is a home court advantage, comprehensive suppression, for the Suns, this victory seems to have been put into the bag in advance, which has also become a one-sided situation was born, and even the Suns almost locked the important factor in the division semifinals, and even get carried away.
However, is this really the case? Natural restraint is indeed true, but this still requires the Suns to be able to play the expected performance, three kills to the Timberwolves, in addition to their own lineup restraint, the team's performance of the three military life, will also be an indispensable and important factor for the team to win the game.
And the playoffs are not better than the regular season, each team will improve their concentration, and the fighting style of the regular season has given Finch a certain countermeasure, even if the lineup restraint cannot be ignored, but human efforts can still change such a disadvantage, so the Suns do not improve the following three points, even if the restraint is extremely strong and can have the initiative, but it is still impossible to win this round of the playoffs that cannot be underestimated.
1. Control of mistakes.
2. Properties of Vogel's indirect short circuit.
3. Bill's competitive state.
The Suns' mistakes have always been high, the team's poor record in the regular season, which is inseparable from the Suns' frequent mistakes, due to the lack of pure point guards, once a large number of ball sharing, it is a huge disaster for the Suns price, and once the Big Three are caught in the rotation stage, the Big Three's ability to handle the ball, there will always be problems, whether it is not cautious enough, or the lack of vision of the top organizers, so that the Big Three's frequent mistakes once became an important microcosm of the game, which will also give the opponent a counterattack, providing the necessary means, so, once the Suns because of their own mentality, and unfocused attitude, resulting in an increase in mistakesEven if you have the attributes of your opponent who can naturally know it, you still can't resist the fact that your opponent is pressing it to the floor and rubbing it, and it will even become an important factor for the sun to return.
At some stages, the Sun's mistakes are often extremely fatal, which will make the Suns fall into an extremely embarrassing moment, and even become an important factor for the team to be taken away by a wave, which is also the way the Suns play, but such weaknesses and flaws, once the Timberwolves who are strictly guarded continue to amplify, and even let the Suns mess up, making them doubt their own way of playing, will undoubtedly put the Suns in trouble, and even let this giant team, under the huge psychological advantage, still bury a good future and future due to mistakes.
As a giant team, too many mistakes have also become a rollercoaster record for the Suns, so that in the case of such a luxurious lineup, it still can't take the initiative, and even can only rely on the all-out performance of the last game and the Lakers' helpful performance to help the team lock in the sixth place in the West, so for the Suns, avoiding more mistakes will be the only means and important factor for this giant team to ride the wind and waves on the playoff stage, and even rely on natural restraint to get out of the trough。
Vogel as the head coach of the team, Vogel's performance this season can also be described as mixed, although Vogel injected a certain sense of energy into the team on the defensive end, and also allowed the team's defensive efficiency to reach the middle and upper reaches of the league, but due to excessive talent, the Suns in the face of some fish belly teams, completely non-defensive performance, and not too much discipline performance, still make Vogel criticized, not only that, so far this season, Vogel still has not found a very stable lineup, still in the crazy trial lineup, in the game has entered the white-hot stage, Vogel's performance is indeed flattering, such a meritorious head coach, but such a low-level mistake is indeed extremely shocking and amazing, and the instability of the lineup will also become another big problem in the Suns playoffs.
So far this season, the Suns' lineup can be described as erratic, it seems that in addition to the Big Three, Allen, Nurkic, the rest of the team can be described as stop-and-go, like a marquee, no fixed routine, constantly trying the lineup, which will be a great harm to the team, especially in the game has entered the playoff stage, Vogel is still in the starting lineup, did not find a more stable lineup, such fluctuations and ups and downs, will inevitably bring a certain impact and blow to the team's next games.
Not only that, on some occasions, Vogel's substitutions in general when the power is off, it is even more jaw-dropping, it seems that Vogel's transfer will not be based on the performance of the players on the field, but mechanized substitutions, to whom it will be on the point, will not be because of a certain on-the-spot play, make timely adjustments, Vogel's relatively slow pace of adjustment, has indeed become an important factor in the fluctuation of the team's record, as a head coach, Vogel did not make personnel arrangements for the right place, and the way of resting on his laurels, it seems that he can throw off the pot, but the team will bring the abyss, so that the team can not play the expected performance in Vogel's stubbornness and slow selection, which also made Vogel the culprit of the team's poor record.
Vogel's habitual short-circuit behavior has also become the Sun's in the case of a better lineup, often by Vogel's slow transfer mode, completely losing the possibility of winning, and the Suns have also become a victim of Vogel's training several times, so that this giant team has never been able to play the expected performance, and it has also made the team completely lose its fighting spirit and passion under Vogel's power outage, and become a down-and-out team that can be visited.
For the Suns, in addition to the mistakes and Vogel's unpredictable tactical arrangement, Beal's state will also become an important factor in whether the Suns can have the strength to compete for the championship, as one of the Big Three, Beal will also be the white moonlight that determines the team's ceiling, Durant as the team's anchor, regardless of whether the state is online or not, the average performance of 25+ per game makes Durant the team's anchor, and Booker, as the team's vanguard, can still maintain an average of 25+ per gameIn the second half of the season, Beal's rampage once became an important factor for the team to win the game, and it also made the team stand out in the devil's schedule, and continue to play the competitiveness of the giant team, which has also become an important factor for the Suns to withstand the pressure and break through to lock the sixth place in the West, and Beal has also become a key factor for the team to regain its self-confidence.
Whether it is the attributes of the Big Three, and Bill's very deterrent penalty area to create lethality, will bring great competitiveness to the team, once Bill can play a bloodthirsty performance, the Big Three will continue to improve the deterrent, and no team dares to wrap such a Big Three team, as the team's best at breaking through the star, Bill's lethality will also be the strongest player in the Big Three, his penalty area impact, and the ability to cut the game, will become the key factor for the team to tear apart the opponent's defense, so, Bill's impact, and whether it can achieve recovery, for the team can get out of the trough, will bring a qualitative leap and challenge。
Therefore, Bill, as one of the Big Three, will be the most critical variable for the team, if Bill can play stably, for the team, invincible will become an irreversible fact, this giant team, will also fully achieve transformation and sublimation, and even let the team fully play the style of a super team, and even let the team regain self-confidence and legend, so that the team continues to improve, become a real champion team, Bill's containment, and the ability to tear apart the opponent's defense, will become an important factor for the team to win the game.
Therefore, for the Suns, if they can avoid the following three problems and improve them all, whether the team wins the Timberwolves on the following grams, and continues to improve, break into the division finals stage, or even the finals stage, and win the championship trophy, it will become an irreversible fact for the Suns.
