"I have to say Woodson is an underrated manager and to be honest, he caught me off guard." Jeff. Van Gundy praised the Eagles coach after the game: "He turned the game around in the second half and we were on the back foot. ”

After all, the Rockets also had the idea of choosing Sun Yue this summer, but they couldn't choose Sun Yue because of the draft pick: "He played very well, he was an excellent battlefield commander, he always made the right judgment and put it into practice with his magical skills." His passing can be as good as white chocolate, but he doesn't pursue it, he wants to be as efficient as possible, and he wants to be consistent. ”

Mr. Van Gundy's high praise made Sun Yue blush, much to the delight of Chinese journalists who were immersed in the joy of the Chinese derby.

Joining Van Gundy at the press conference was Yao Ming, who also gave high praise to his compatriots, saying that Sun Yue played very well, while also summarizing the reasons why the Rockets lost.

After the Rockets coach left, Coach Woodson took Al Anderson, who played well throughout the game and scored 33-pointers and 7 rebounds. Harrington appeared at the press conference, and many Chinese reporters at the scene made a sound of surprise, originally everyone thought that Sun Yue, as one of the protagonists of the Chinese derby, would give a post-match interview.

Although Sun Yue, who had 18 points, 13 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, was not as good as Al in scoring. Harrington, but he was more versatile, and anyone who watched the game could tell that Al Brown. Behind Harrington's outstanding performance is Sun Yue's selfless assist.

In fact, Coach Woodson naturally knows that Sun Yue is the biggest contributor to really winning this Chinese derby, whether it is his all-round performance, or changing the team's tactics at a critical moment in the second half, it is one of the indispensable factors for the Hawks' first win in the regular season, but Woodson thinks more deeply and comprehensively, this year's Hawks lineup has a big change, and the starting lineup has changed three people at once compared to last year: Sun Yue, Qiao. Johnson and Pachuria, although there are no cancer players, but the instability of the team has also made the locker room lack a leader.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sun Yue is the future hope and team leader of the Hawks, but as the so-called authorities are fans and bystanders, these players of the Hawks can not consider so much, if the team management forcibly supports Sun Yue, the team leader, there will naturally be some old players who are not convinced, and it will be like the Cleveland Cavaliers to establish the "little emperor" LeBron. James as the leader of the team, the qualifications of the older Rickie. Davis was naturally unconvinced, and finally forced the management of the Cavaliers to replace Ricky. Davis, while this approach helped James quickly become a team leader, also had a bad effect on the Cavaliers: the team was weak in the first two years of James' selection and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

So the Eagles are still putting Al for the time being. Harrington was launched as the core of the team, which not only helped stabilize the team's locker room, but also helped Sun Yue's growth and avoided him from standing on the cusp of public opinion from the beginning.

But this did not prevent Woodson from praising Sun Yue at the press conference: "He is a phenomenal point guard, and he not only got 18 points and 13 assists tonight, but more importantly, helped the team win." I think he's the perfect rookie of the year. ”

"There's no doubt he's going to be the future of Atlanta." Al. Harrington also gave a clear response: "I won't have any jealousy of him, he's my Robin." He's become the core of our perimeter and I've had a great time working with him, and I'm sure we're going to be the greatest duo in the league, like Jordan and Pippen." ”

Faced with a question from a Chinese journalist about Sun Yue, Woodson said: "All kinds of compliments are very good for him. I'm not saying this because you're a Chinese journalist. I think Sun Yue is going to reach a great height in the future, just like Kidd or Nash, now he just needs to keep working on his body and technique, and I believe he will become a star player soon. ”

Two days later, the Hawks took on the Los Angeles Clippers on the road.

This time, Sun Yue's opponent became Sean. Livingston, Sun Yue's former template player, this tall and thin point guard, has no three-point range, and can turn over and jump shots in the low post; On the defensive end, he has both arm span and speed, and he is not strong enough, and when he sees him, Sun Yue sees himself who is thinner and shorter than himself and has not yet scored three points.

Sean. Livingston is considered to have met his nemesis today, his weakness without three-point shooting was infinitely magnified by Sun Yue today, his usual height advantage in point guard was completely gone in the face of Sun Yue, and his fast breakthrough and one-handed shooting were also completely limited by Sun Yue. As a result, Livingston only scored a pitiful six points and four assists in the whole game, and also contributed four turnovers, and was completely frozen by Sun Yue, a rookie.

Sun Yue not only worked the defensive end today, but he also showed all his skills on the offensive end, and he completely led the Eagles' rapid offensive offensive. And today Sun Yue felt good and didn't even believe himself, in the first half he shot 7 of 9 and scored an astonishing 17 points.

Even if Sun Yue played so well, at the end of the first half, the score was 55:51, and the Hawks only led by 4 points.

Because the Clippers' forward combination is Chris. Karman, Elton. Brand, Corey. Margeti is such a luxurious combination, so the Hawks' forward line is dumb, and Al Brown. Harrington, Josh. Smith and Pachulia didn't get any points in the first half, but Joe on the outside. Johnson and Childis played well, and the aging Catino. Mobley and Slow Vladimir. There's nothing Radmanovic can do with them.

The two teams battled back and forth in the third quarter, with the scores alternating between the two sides, and the Hawks maintained a slight lead.

In the second half of the third quarter, Elton, who was at his peak. Brand continued to use back-to-back singles to score for the Clippers to catch up with the point difference, and the Hawks' interior defense problems were exposed again.

Sun Yue didn't show any panic today. Johnson and Childries have a knack for dealing with the Clippers' perimeter, and Sun Yue doesn't plan to continue scoring on his own, and he sends basketball to two outside teammates in a row to attack.

Sun Yue's choice is very wise, the Clippers specially arranged for his defense at halftime, and the Clippers players are at any time to assist in defending and wrapping Sun Yue, if he plays like the first half, the offensive efficiency will inevitably decline, then the outcome of this game is really difficult to say.
