Xiao Si is no longer in his prime, this is an indisputable fact.

If you go back to the 04-05 season, it is absolutely impossible for Xiaobawang to be blocked by Erniu to this extent.

In the Western Conference finals that year, although the Suns were eliminated by the Spurs 1:4 in the end, Xidi at her peak still showed the style of the league's No. 1 interior basket at that time.

He averaged 37 points per game and shot more than 55% of the series data, which turned the Spurs upside down, and even Duncan, known as the "Stone Buddha", rarely lost his temper and smashed the ball directly to the basket.

It can be seen from this that the super destructive power of Xiaobawang is terrifying.

Although Horry's shot is indeed dark enough, even without that, the Spurs will not have too much of a problem to take out the Suns and enter the finals.

And when everyone focused on the overall strength of the Spurs, the super individual ability of the little overlord, Marion's stealth on the offensive end, and Nash being hacked, most of the audience forgot the key to the Spurs' victory - the three-point shot.

The average score ratio of the two teams in the series is: 108.2:104, and the Spurs only won by 4 points, so the difference in strength between the two teams is far from as the big score of 1:4 in the series shows.

Looking at the comparison of the average three-point shooting percentage of the two teams: 41.1%: 41.3%, and finally the number of three-point shots made by the two teams: 21.4: 15.0.

Through the calculation formula, it can be concluded that the Spurs average 2.6 more three-point goals per game than the Magic, and the score after multiplying by three is 7.8 points, which is the truth!

The overall defense of the Spurs is really strong!

GDP is unstoppable!

The running team can't win the championship!

The above people and Yiyun's ideas are very much in line with the values of some pseudo-fans who know a little common sense, but if you look deeper, these are still just appearances.

Just as many people attribute the Hawks' super performance in the 07-08 season to the fact that the Hawks are younger as a whole and can run better than the Celtics, in the corner where no one pays attention, it is actually the Hawks' stronger defensive efficiency and three-point shooting rate than the Green Kai.

No data, no basketball.

Of course, a single statistic can sometimes deceive people, but putting aside the stats and relying solely on impression streams to analyze a player or a team is even more utter nonsense.

In the final quarter of the game, the Suns also fought hard, and Stoudamire, who played the third quarter, still started in the final quarter.

It's clear that Suns head coach Kentry really doesn't want to give up this game.

After not having Ruan Erniu's watch, facing the slow-moving Zaza Pachuria, Xiaobawang seemed to dream of returning to the top.

He continued to attack the basket, creating kills, and in just 3 and a half minutes, he caused 3 fouls for Pachulia and 1 foul for Anderson, and more than once made it 2+1.

The scumbag bird combination was dry exploded by Xiao Si in the basket!

Woodson had to ask for a timeout, and the Suns' three-point game was never completely opened, but he didn't expect that a little carelessness would make something happen to Xidi on the Hawks' inside.

Egghead, who had thoughts about the game, was also unwilling to sit back and wait for defeat, and Woodson waved his hand, and Ruan Erniu also returned to the court.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, Ruan Erniu held the ball outside the three-point line on the wing, and Xidi did her best on the offensive end, but obviously lacked concentration on the defensive end.

Erniu took a step outside the three-point line and pulled out his hand directly.

"Brush!"

Hit!

The people of the Celestial Empire are not soft at critical moments.

On the offensive end of the Suns, it is not so simple for Xiao Si to attack the basket with speed and flexibility.

Xidi holds the ball in the horn position, and Erniu lowers the center of gravity, swings forward with one hand, and reads the opponent's offensive style.

After Xiao Si shook his shoulders, he cut inside and assaulted.

Ruan Erniu immediately locked the inside line and did not give Xidi a chance to impact.

Xiao Si failed to make a surprise attack, and immediately turned 360 degrees of gyroscope, wanting to get a chance to attack the basket from the periphery.

The little overlord who flew into the air realized that he still hadn't been able to get enough space to attack, and Kraft Nguyen was in front of him, blocking his normal shot angle.

Xidi, who was in the whereabouts, had to reluctantly make a move.

"Bang!"

Unsurprisingly, the iron is struck.

The master does not need to block the opponent with every ball, and tests a player's single defense ability, and the most important thing is to reduce the opponent's offensive efficiency.

At this point, Ruan Erniu, who is 6 feet 9 inches tall, is objectively underestimated.

Erniu won the rebound in the backcourt and immediately sent a long pass to the touchdown, and Dragic, who received the ball in the frontcourt, was not greedy and chose to share the ball when he was closely guarded by Barbossa.

Salmons, who was outside the three-point line, calmly shot after receiving the ball and hit!

From leading by double digits, to being chased to within 5 points, to re-entering the double with the score gap, the Hawks quickly stabilized their position after the two bulls came on the court.

Just when the Suns were about to despair, two-time MVP Steve Nash stepped up, first hitting a 2-pointer at 16 feet with a horse archery, and then Lao Na broke through with the ball, entered the restricted area, faced the double defense of Ruan Erniu and the Eclipse, and hit a throw in the human gap.

"Toot!"

Referee Oleschak whistled a little late, but in the end the referee still gave a foul.

The basketball falls into the basket at the same time as the whistle blows, the goal counts, and the penalty is added!

The Phoenix showed great tenacity in the final quarter, but they faced a strong defending champion.

After that, the game completely entered the three-point performance period of the Hawks.

Ruan Erniu, Salmons, and Crawford went crazy at the same time and quickly opened the score.

Woodson was also particularly bold tonight, and in the final quarter of the game, he directly pressed the embarrassed man who felt bad on the bench, and let the second leader of the Hawks sit directly on the bench for most of the quarter.

The Suns didn't play well tonight, but they never found a way to stand up to the Hawks from the three-point line.

Xiao Si had a little physical conflict with Erniu at the last moment, and he probably said a big word before the game, but he failed to deliver it and caused an imbalance in his mentality.

Fortunately, both sides were restrained and did not make a big deal of it, and after each received a technical foul, the coaches of both sides replaced the team's No. 5 position.

For the Hawks, Ruan Erniu shot 18 of 24 in this game, including 5 of 8 three-pointers and 11 of 12 free throws, scoring 52 points, 30 rebounds and 11 assists.

Another shocking super triple-double, following Chamberlain, another NBA player achieved a 50+30+10 triple-double feat in the game.

Before Erniu entered the league, people always thought that under the framework of modern basketball, data like Chamberlain's might never be replicated again, but just two seasons later, things have changed.

Although Chamberlain is still unshaken in terms of average data per game, people are surprised to find that in terms of personal single-game data, Ruan Erniu does have the possibility of being comparable to Zhang 20,000.

For the Suns, Stoudmire, who had a brilliant performance in the final quarter, shot 9-of-21 from the field and 10-of-14 from the free-throw line, scoring a total of 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 1 assist.

Xidi's data, in front of other interior lines in the league, can often blow up opponents, but only in front of Kraft Nguyen, he often becomes a broken existence.

At 111:122, the Hawks took away the opponent with a three-pointer in the final quarter.

Putting aside the pre-game war of words, from the analysis of the data in this game alone, the Suns lost on two points:

1. Rebounding, because the total rebounding loss ratio of the two teams is: 38:55, and the Suns lost 17.

Second, three-pointers, the Suns hit four three-pointers in the game, while the Hawks' number was 11.

Nguyen Er Niu said in an interview after the game: "The key to winning is rebounding and three-pointers, Amare is an excellent interior player, but judging from the game alone, I think I should be the better one." ”
