Chapter 127: Losing streak

The Atlanta Hawks won four in a row after losing to the Nets in the first game of the regular season, which surprised many people who follow the NBA league, and the Hawks, who were at the bottom of the East last year, actually showed vigorous vitality after the start of the new season, which makes it difficult not to associate the changes of the Hawks with the arrival of Sun Yue.

ESPN used an article entitled "The new forces of the league are rising, and the young eagles are ready to go" to praise the performance of the Eagles and Sun Yue, and also specially accompanied the pictures of the Eagles' starters, Sun Yue is still standing in the middle position, which is equivalent to telling the world that Sun Yue is the core of the Eagles.

Yahoo Sports believes that Sun's outstanding performance in the last four games has a lot to do with the general offensive strength and defensive weakness of the players in front of him. Alstom, and the Clippers in Game 3 were Sean. Livingston, the point guards for the Trail Blazers in Game 4 were Telfair and Jarrett Brown. Jack, in the fifth, it was the turn of T.J. Ford and Mo Williams.

The strength of these point guards on the offensive end is not bad, and they all have their own personal characteristics, but except for Livingston, everyone else has obvious shortcomings in height, Sun Yue's height and arm span have too much advantage, plus the Eagles' main tactics are blocking and fast breaking, which maximizes Sun Yue's height and arm span advantage, which makes him have excellent personal data in four consecutive games.

This report is obviously black for the sake of black, you must know that Sun Yue's height of 2.03 meters is one of the best among all point guards in the NBA, so to speak, he is misplaced against most point guards.

And Sun Yue not only has excellent personal data in these four games, but also led the team to victory, which has surprised many people.

On November 10, the NBA's official website listed the data of all rookie players in the class of 2005. Paul's stats are particularly striking in the mix.

Sun Yue, Team: Atlanta Hawks, Record: 4-1, averages: 14.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.8 turnovers per game.

Chris. Paul, Team: New Orleans Hornets, Record: 2-2, averages: 15.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.9 assists per game.

The stats of the two can be described as comparable, with Paul scoring and stealing slightly more, and doing a better job of controlling turnovers, while Sun Yue is better at protecting rebounds and connecting teams.

In addition to the dazzling Paul and Sun Yue, the performance of several other rookies is slightly mediocre, Bogut averages 10+9 per game, Marven. Williams scored just past a double-double. Williams averaged 8+7 per game, and Raymond. Felton averaged 12 points per game, but his average of 3 assists per game was almost catching up with his average turnover, but Ellis, the second-round pick selected by the Warriors, averaged 14.6 points per game, giving the NBA team that missed him in the draft a resounding slap in the face.

Sun Yue and Paul's outstanding performances made the two stand out like an awl in a bag, and many media began to replace the propaganda of the "four point guards" before the start of the game with "point guard duo".

But Sun Yue, who was soon touted by the media as the "savior of Atlanta", was completely beaten back to his original shape by the Pistons when he challenged the defending champion Detroit Pistons away from home.

The veteran Pistons controlled the offensive and defensive tempo well, and the court commander Chauncey. Under Billups' command, the Eagles were forced into a hand-to-hand battle with the Pistons at the Palace in Auburn Hills.

And Sun Yue was completely restricted, and the Hawks who couldn't beat the run-and-run could only use blocking and dismantling tactics, but the Pistons would change their defense whenever they blocked and dismantled, whether it was small forward "Little Prince" Prince, or big forward Rashid. Wallace is tall and has long arms, and Sun Yue can't have any advantage when he fights big, not to mention that the Pistons still have Ben. Wallace, the man who has won the best defensive player, is here.

Facing the Pistons' iron bucket formation, Sun Yue shot 4 of 16 in the whole game, only got 10 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and contributed 6 turnovers, Sun Yue played abnormally, and other Hawks players did not stand up, and the Hawks naturally lost to the Pistons 71-89 without a doubt.

The Hawks' schedule at the beginning of the season was not good, with the front foot just losing to the defending champion Pistons, and the next day they will rush back to Atlanta to face the Western giants San Antonio Spurs.

Sun Yue, who was also tired, had a mediocre performance in the first half, only 2 of 7 shots, including 2 layups. Duncan put too much psychological pressure on him.

In the first half, the Spurs used defense to defeat the home Hawks, and the biggest point difference reached 22 points at one point, and at halftime, the Spurs led the Hawks by as many as 18 points at 56:38.

Sun Yue, who tried to reverse the team's decline, also seemed powerless in the second half, although he was not defeated, and he wanted to do something, but when the morale of the whole team was low and his teammates were beaten, he was inevitably affected, and it was basically impossible to rely on one person to turn the tide like in college.

NBA players far surpass college players in terms of court experience and technical and tactical ability, and Sun Yue cannot beat an entire team alone, even if he is as strong as Kobe Bryant and Jordan, they have only had a few incredible performances in their entire careers.

The morale of the team's starting lineup was low and it was no longer available today, and Woodson began to let Sun Yue play with the team's substitutes in the second half to try to make a last-ditch effort.

But the veteran Popovich always held the initiative on the court, and the Spurs kept the margin outside 20 minutes.

Now that the defeat was decided, Coach Woodson quickly replaced Sun Yue, and the Eagles chose to abandon the game and save energy to deal with the next opponent.

But I have to say that the Hawks' schedule is really not friendly, and the next team the Hawks will face at home is the Phoenix Suns, who are also strong teams in the West.

Facing the originator of the run-and-gun tactic - Phoenix Suns, Coach Woodson adjusted the team's starting lineup for the first time: Sun Yue, Joe. Johnson, Childres, Al. Harrington, Josh. Smith.

Coach Woodson removed center Pachulia from the starting lineup and replaced him with guard swingman Childis, and in the face of a strong opponent on the road, Coach Woodson chose to take a desperate gamble and completely use run-and-gun tactics to go head-to-head with the Suns.
