"Now that the list is out, the Clippers' starters are still Chris Paul, Redick, Matt Barnes, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan Jr., but the Suns have a new face that everyone is familiar with." On the CCVV commentary platform, Mr. Yang Yi explained.

"Yes, the starting five of the Suns in this game are: Eric Bledsoe, Chris Middleton, Lee Mojab, Markieff Morris, Channing Fry, Bledsoe answered the game again after more than two months, and the opponent is still his old club Los Angeles Clippers, this is really a coincidence!" Zhang said with a smile.

"Well, that's the case, the Suns lost to the Clippers in the last game, and they were already holding their breath, plus Bledsoe came back from injury in this game, I think it will be difficult for the Clippers to get out of the American Airlines Center!" Teacher Yang Yi said.

"That's true, in this round of the Suns vs Clippers series, most of the media in the United States originally gave a prediction of 4:1 and the Clippers won, but judging from these three games, the strength of the two sides is still relatively close, so this game will definitely be a battle of the dragon!" Teacher Zhang Li nodded and said.

The two of them showed the importance of this game to the audience in front of the screen vividly and vividly with every word, and also attracted a lot of melon-eating people.

Then the game officially began, and Jordan Jr. still grabbed the offensive right to open as he wished.

Paul held the ball, and a black shadow immediately wound up.

"Hey man!" Bledsoe came up to Paul with an excited look on his face and said.

Eric Bledsoe's 2013-14 season was a mixed one, averaging 17.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, the best season of his four-year career, but Bledsoe only played 43 games, which caused the Suns' record to drop quite a bit by the end of the season.

Bledsoe's first two seasons with the Clippers were disappointing: he couldn't shoot, his passing was mediocre and he made a lot of turnovers. But after his third season as Chris Paul, Bledsoe broke through with an alternative style of play. In contrast to Paul, Bledsoe is not known for his offense (when Paul and Bledsoe are alone, the Clippers score a difference of nearly 9 points per 100 possessions!). But he has the athleticism that Paul lacks, and he has been called "the LeBron of point guards." With perverted physicality and a positive attitude, Bledsoe led the Clippers' second-tier team to play a defense that was far superior to the first team. Bledsoe's stats for the season translate to 14.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.3 blocks in 36 minutes (only 1.85 meters tall).

With his success with the Clippers, Bledsoe's outburst with the Suns was almost expected, and to his credit, Bledsoe's improvement wasn't just an increase in ball usage. In fact, his possession rate isn't that high – at least not the highest on the team. Bledsoe's assist rate was extremely low (12.6% on 2-pointers) and improved his shooting efficiency across the board. The basket continues to be where Bledsoe attacks the most, shooting 33.8 percent of his total shooting from three feet and shooting 66.5 percent from the field (with a similar style of play, just 60 percent), and Bledsoe has also improved his mid-range, shooting 39.2 percent from 16-23 feet — still not passable, but a significant margin higher than in the previous three years. Bledsoe's three-pointer offers hope for a further stretch of range in the future: 3.3 shots per night and a 35.7 percent shooting percentage.

Bledsoe also learned how to foul and averaged 5.5 free throws per game, three times as many as in 2012-13! Ranked second in free throw percentage. It was a large number of under-the-basket offense and free throws that helped Bledsoe, who was poor on shooting, maintain a true shooting percentage of 57.8 percent.

Bledsoe's value on the defensive end is greater, because more energy is put into the offensive end, Bledsoe's steal rate and block rate have dropped significantly, but his defense is still a monster: excellent reach, top-level athleticism, tough matchups. With him on the side, the Suns concede 6.2 fewer points per 100 possessions! And the true plus/minus of defense shows that Bledsoe's defense is the first point guard in the league.

However, this year, the sun broke out, and it was Li Mojie who received the most praise. On the one hand, Bledsoe is missing too much, and on the other hand, as a point guard, Bledsoe has not improved much in passing, is not good at creating opportunities for his teammates, and has many turnovers. Bledsoe had a 13.8 percent turnover rate last season, and among point guards who averaged more than 20 points per game, only Kendall Marshall, Jeremy Lin, Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole and Jordan Farmar were taller than him.

When Bledsoe went down, the Suns scored 3.2 more points per 100 rounds, and when Li Mojie went down, the Suns' points per 100 rounds plummeted by 10.2 points! So when Bledsoe was out, the Suns didn't suffer much on the offensive end, plus the meniscus was injured, which is why Bledsoe urgently needed to come back, this year is his contract year, and he must hurry up to prove that he has the value of a high-salary extension!

"Blake!" Paul is well aware of Bledsoe's strength, after all, they used to be teammates, and they were also in the same position, and he often faced Bledsoe's mad dog defense during training matches, so he called a pick-and-roll.

"Don't try to get rid of me!" Bledsoe took out his mad dog trait and refused to let Paul go.

"Damn it!" After Paul and Griffin blocked, Bledsoe was still stuck to himself like a piece of kraft candy, Paul cursed.

"Good!" Hornacek put his hands together and said with a smile, Bledsoe's agility and strength are not even superior to Paul, and after returning from injury, Bledsoe has obviously walked out of the injury troubles, and his speed has not decreased, which is what he is most happy about.

Helplessly, Paul passed the ball to Riffin, and after Griffin singled Markieff, a mid-range shot missed!

"Mine!" Li Mojie picked up the rebound!

"Attack!" Li Mojie shouted while quickly dribbling the ball across the half court, but the Clippers team's defense speed was not slow, and the fast attack that Li Mojie wanted to play did not succeed, but he was not bothered, and after calling Frye to come out to block and dismantle, in the face of Jordan Jr.'s defense, he hit the ball with a small throw, and scored the ball with a small throw, and scored the first score of the game!

Next, the Suns adopted a man-to-man defense, an expanded range of defense, and that posture seemed to completely contain the Clippers' three-point shooting in the last game, as well as the space to use the running position.

Such an extended defensive posture is completely to put its own defensive strength on the periphery.

Paul faced Bledsoe's desperate defense, and he played a little awkwardly, at least without the smooth and comfortable feeling of the last three games.

Two successive attempts to get out of Bledsoe's defense with feints were unsuccessful, which annoyed Paul a bit as well.

"Hell guy, he shouldn't have been allowed to go to the Suns!" Seeing that Bledsoe couldn't succeed in singles, Paul glanced at his teammates around him, ** Redick and Matt Barnes were firmly watched by Middleton and Li Mojie, and Jordan Jr.'s offensive ability was not expected, and he could only give the ball to Griffin!

But Paul is facing a tight defense like Bledsoe, and Griffin has to face a close care of Markieff with this intensity.

"Markieff, Marcus, you two brothers are relying on me for this series!" Griffin said in his heart, Marcus and Markiff are about the same height and arm span as Griffin, their bodies are strong, their speed is not slow, and there are two people in rotation, this is Griffin!

After two consecutive rounds of see-sawing, Griffin was also a little unable to bear Markieff's endless close-fitting, and he didn't care if he shook it or not, he shot directly, and then hit the iron!

Rivers frowned off the court, after the Suns made up the defense at the No. 1 position, the overall defense was obviously up a notch! Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself?
