Chapter 119 The first month has passed, the league is the first

After defeating the Grizzlies, the Suns continued to face the enemy at home, and this time they met the Eagles. In recent seasons, the Hawks have been able to enter the playoffs almost every year, and the Hawks are naturally relatively strong, so the Suns have not been able to play this game as easily as the previous game.

In the previous game, the Suns showed their defensive skills from the beginning of the game, and in this game, the Eagles took the lead in playing high-intensity defense. The Eagles, who wanted to end the Suns' winning streak, have been playing with murderous spirit since the beginning of the game. After all, the Suns are now the targets that all teams in the league want to defeat. Therefore, the eagle enters the state very quickly, and the sun enters the state relatively slowly.

In the first quarter, the two sides played 23:15, and the sun was 8 points behind. After entering the second quarter, the Suns did better on the defensive end, but they still didn't find a feeling on the offensive end. They only got 13 points in a single quarter. In the previous game, they defended the Grizzlies with only 26 points in the first half. They were not much better in this game, with only 28 points in the first half.

41:28, the Suns have fallen 13 points behind after the first half. It's not a problem for the Hawks to score 41 points in the half, but they only got 28 points in the half. The Suns feel a little too cold today, as if they have used up all their feel in the previous game.

At the beginning of the second half, the Sun's attack finally improved. They scored 23 points in this quarter and recovered 3 points to narrow the gap to 10 points.

In the crucial last quarter, the Sun ushered in a full-scale outbreak. They fully demonstrated their strength at both ends of attack and defense. While getting 32 points in a single quarter, they limited their opponents to only 17 points, and finally defeated their opponents 83:78, increasing their winning streak to seven games.

After winning the Hawks at home, the Suns immediately rushed to Detroit to play against the Pistons. The Bulls won the game more easily, winning with a score of 100:82 and winning eight consecutive victories.

It is really surprising that the Suns can achieve such a record in such a dense schedule, but the Suns will need a more difficult schedule next. After winning the live game, the Suns need to play Magic and Eagles back to back, followed by a day off, and then have an unprecedented back-to-back. In three days, they have to play against the Pistons, Timberwolves and Wizards, and the game against the Timberwolves in the middle still needs to fly to Minnesota in the west. Da, this means that their rest time is shorter. Even if the sun is young, it is a big test for the players' physical strength and energy.

The Sun's first opponent is Magic. Among the five teams to play next, Magic and Eagles are the strongest. But there is really nothing to be afraid of the magic sun. Zhao Yue's existence makes me not afraid of Howard, so that magic has no advantage in facing the sun.

The game between the two teams only showed a stalemate in the first quarter. After the first quarter, the Suns were 1 point behind 25:26, but after entering the second quarter, the Suns completely established their advantage.

Howard does not have many opportunities to perform in front of Zhao Yue. His playing style has not improved significantly in the past few years. For Zhao Yue's strength and movement speed are much stronger than his players, his threat on the offensive end is much smaller. In terms of the outside line, Magic's outer line attack is largely dependent on Howard's containment. Howard was defended by Zhao Yue and could not attract stronger defensive firepower, and the threat of Magic's outside line was also a little smaller.

The magic's outside line did not open in the second quarter, and the Sun's outside line was completely opened. In this game, Anthony, Nash and Carter on the Sun's side felt very well, providing the Suns with sufficient defensive firepower. The Suns won 30:16 in the second quarter. 14 points also gave them a 13-point advantage after half-time.

Although Magic also narrowed the difference several times in the second half, the Suns would quickly open the difference again. At the end of the game, the Suns defeated their opponents 99-82 away and won nine consecutive games of the season.

The shooting rate of Zhao Yue in front of Howard's defense in this game was somewhat affected, but he also got 21 points and 18 rebounds. Howard at the other end got 20 points and 12 rebounds.

The Suns, who have won nine consecutive games, have naturally become the most eye-catching team in the league, and their strong performance after the beginning of the season has made people more and more confident in them.

Back-to-back away against the Eagles again, the Suns fought a hard battle again, just like the previous match between the two teams. The Eagles quickly entered the state at the beginning of the game, while the Suns fell into a passive state. In the first quarter, the Suns completely lost, allowing the Eagles to score 30 points, while they only got 19 points, 11 points behind in a single quarter.

After entering the second quarter, although the Sun's state recovered, the difference was again narrowed, and the Suns fell behind their opponents by 15 points again after half-time.

In the previous match between the two teams, the Suns reversed in the second half when they fell behind, but the Eagles did not give the Suns such an opportunity in this game. The leading Eagles always grasped the situation and kept the lead to the end.

95: 104, 9 points difference, the Suns lost to the Eagles away, the nine-game winning streak was ended, and the Suns' loss also represented that the league did not have a win-win team.

Although the Suns' winning streak has ended, no one will despise the championship-winning team this season. In this intensive schedule, the performance of most teams is not as good as last season, especially on the offensive side. After the start of this season, the league's average score per game has dropped by more than 2 points compared with last season, and this number is likely to continue to increase over time.

On this basis, the performance of the Suns was no worse than last season. They began to stay at the first place in the league early. Even if the winning streak is ended, they are still the first in the league.

Because of the tight schedule, all teams will have consecutive back-to-back games this season, and the Suns are about to usher in their first back-to-back game of the season.

This schedule is not easy, and the advantage for the Sun is that the three opponents they have to face are not strong.

The defeat in the last game also stimulated the Suns players, so it is definitely not a good thing for the Pistons to come to the American Airlines Center Arena in Phoenix at this time.

Since the beginning of the game, the Suns have shown their super defense. The Pistons' attack has been greatly limited throughout the game, and finally only got 65 points, while the Suns got 95 points. With a huge difference of 30 points, the Suns once again defeated their opponents.

From the beginning of entering the alliance, Zhao Yue has to learn how to use his time on the plane to give his body a full rest, which is particularly important at this time. After playing the Pistons at home, the Suns need to fly to Minnesota to play against the Timberwolves, and then rush back to Phoenix to play against the Wizards.

Against the Timberwolves, the Suns did not perform as well as the previous game on the defensive end. Facing the weak team Timberwolves, the Suns actually let their opponents score 105 points.

The Suns did not do well on the defensive end, perhaps because they focused more on the attack. While the Timberwolves got 105 points, the Suns themselves got 116 and won again. Zhao Yue got the double 20 data of 22 points and 23 rebounds this time.

The Suns have won two of the three consecutive games in three days, and the wizards that need to face in the last game are not strong, but at this time, the Suns obviously have a weakness in the continuous battle. They have had a big problem with their attack in this game. At the end of the game, only 78 points were scored, and Zhao Yue got 20 points turned out to be the highest score for the whole team.

Although the attack was very poor, the Suns finally won the victory of the game. They felt cold on the offensive end, but relied on strong defense to limit the hit rate of the Wizards even lower, and the Wizards only got 60 points throughout the game.

Only 78 points in the whole game, but the Suns still have an 18-point advantage, which indeed reflects the strong defensive ability of the Suns in the new season.

Elvin Gentry also saw that the Suns players were more difficult to concentrate on the intensive schedule, so in the next few games, he consciously controlled the Suns' playing time. In two of the games, Zhao Yue and Anthony sat off the court separately. Although they appeared on the list, they did not play the whole game.

Won the Celtics, Raptors, Suns and Cavaliers, and lost a Grizzly bear in the middle. The Suns' overall record rose to 16 wins and 2 losses, and the record is still at the top of the league. Among them, Anthony and Wang Cheng did not play separately in the game against the Raptors and Cavaliers.

In fact, with Zhao Yue's physical quality, even in the face of such the intensity of the game, there is no big problem to play all the time, but Gentry arranged him to recuperate himself, and Zhao Yue naturally has no reason to refuse.

After a good rest against the knights, Zhao Yue really ushered in an outbreak in the next one.

This season, the Pacers were once again strengthened. They introduced David West in the summer and got George Hill of the Spurs through a three-way deal. Even against the strongest team in the league like the Suns, the Pacers have a strength to fight.

After the introduction of West, the Pacers' internal strength increased greatly, and the center Roy Hibbert began to grow. Their internal strength was at the top in the east, but they met the strongest insider combination in the league in this game.

The combination of Zhao Yue and Fry was called the strongest insider in the league by many media last season, and there were not many opposition to such a voice. Zhao Yue has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and Fry has a good three-point ability. Although he suffered some losses in physical confrontation, his defense is also extremely strong.

In this game, the two did show everyone their strength. Zhao Yue scored 22 points and 15 rebounds in this game. From the beginning of this season to now, except for the game that did not play, Zhao Yue has maintained the data of two doubles and 4.2 blocks. Fry scored 10 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks in this game, and the two teamed up to score 32 points, 29 rebounds and 10 blocks.

The Pacers at the other end only got 27 rebounds and blocked only 2 times. In this internal confrontation, the sun has completely gained the upper hand.

After defeating the Pacers, the Suns met another tough battle and played against the Bucks at home. The Bucks are not too strong, but the Suns played hard in this game.

The Suns played well in the first quarter, and getting 30 points in a single quarter gave them a 4 point advantage after entering the second quarter.

After entering the fourth quarter, the situation began to change. Stephen Jackson and Carlos Delfino in the Bucks convuls convulsed at the same time. In this quarter, they threw six three-pointers together. Under their strong performance, the Bucks scored 32 points in a single quarter to surpass the Suns by 4 points.

After entering the second half, the scores of the two teams rose alternately, and the Suns took the lead several times and were overtaken by the Bucks. Finally, the two teams drew 80:80 and entered the fourth quarter.

Although the Sun took the lead again at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the advantage was not obvious, and the score difference could not be opened. It was not until two minutes left in the fourth quarter that Zhao Yue's 2+1 bull narrowed the score difference to 7 points that he gained a more obvious advantage in the true sense.

The Bucks did not give up, and then they hit two three-pointers, but Nash from the Suns also got 2 points, allowing the Suns to win 105:102.

And the most surprising thing in this game is Yi Jianlian. In the face of his old club, Yi Jianlian achieved great power and scored 12 points in the whole game, including 3 out of 4 three-pointers and 10 rebounds, which was his first two-double data since he came to the Suns.

Compared with the Bucks' game, it is much easier for the Suns to win against the Bobcats and the Nets. After winning these games, the Suns' record has been raised to an impressive 20 wins and 2 losses. For such an intensive schedule, such a record indeed makes Suns fans proud.

After nearly a month of competition, people have become more and more familiar with the sun, and some changes in the sun are naturally seen by the outside world. First of all, the roles of Nash, Anthony and Zhao Yue are more clear. Anthony became the scoring champion of the Suns with an average of 31.5 points per game, ranking in the top three in the league scoring list, and Nash's assists also average 17.2 per game, steadily occupying the top of the league assists list. Zhao Yue is more focused on Defense, you can see that he ranks first in the league's rebound list and block list, and he can average 23.5 points per game, which brings considerable pressure to other teams in the league.
