Chapter 37: Back-to-back pistons

Fortunately, the Suns are not the only Nash, Xiao Si, Marion, and Barbossa are all players with super attacking power, but without Nash's threading needle, the Suns' attack is not very smooth, but the impact on power is not very great. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In just a few rounds, fans found that Liu Su completely suppressed Nash, and in front of Liu Su, Nash had almost no room to play. After the ball was passed, it was rarely able to return to Nash's hands, and several passes were destroyed by Liu Su, and even caused two mistakes, so that other players did not dare to pass the ball to Nash.

But on the other hand, Liu Su completely ignored Nash's defense, how to rush and how to have, pass and assist when he made up for defense, and jump directly if he didn't make up for defense, Nash had no way at all.

In the fourth minute of the second quarter, Nash was replaced and replaced with a defensive player to play against Liu Su, which slightly limited Liu Su.

Without Nash, the Suns immediately became another team, with several big men attacking their own teams, almost no cooperation, and losing points one after another. By halftime, the Clippers had a 74-52 lead and the Suns were basically on the verge of capitulation.

Fortunately, in the second half, Nash felt his hand and hit five three-pointers in the first quarter to reduce the difference somewhat. However, Liu Su returned the Suns to the abyss in the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, and 12 points and 4 assists once again pulled the score above 20.

The Suns replaced the main man and surrendered, and the Clippers won the game 136-114. Nash had 24 points and 9 assists, Liu Su had 26 points and 16 assists, and there was still a big gap between the two playing time, and Liu Su was 7 minutes less than Nash.

This game made Liu Su completely famous, stepping on Nash's corpse and becoming the forefront of the league's point guards. In terms of fame, it is only a little worse than Iverson, after all, Liu Su did not play Iverson when he played against the 76ers.

The next day, the Clippers hit the Pistons back-to-back. The Pistons are a defensive team and have always been a strong team in the league. This season has Ben Wallace, Rashid Wallace, Puslin, Hamilton and Billups. It can be said that it is both offensive and defensive, and the bench players are also very good, and they also have good defensive strength, and they are rushing to win the championship.

The elder Dunleavy paid attention to the game against the Pistons, and temporarily adjusted the lineup, replacing Radmanovic with Quinton Rose. Rose was tasked with defending Puslin, and there were three points of attack to break in the Pistons, one for Hamilton's no-ask run, one for Puslin's outside attack, and one for Rasheed Wallace's impact inside.

At the beginning of the game, Rose's defense against Pusling was still very successful, Mobley could also keep up with Hamilton's footsteps, Brand also had a fight against Rashid Wallace, Big Ben's offense was basically negligible, Carman would have taken care of it a little, and Billups's offense was really not good, he and Kidd were not point guards who were known for their offensive ability, as long as they guarded their passes.

It's one thing, but it's another thing, and the Clippers still have a lot of holes in their defense. It's really not good to attack the Pistons, and I wasted opportunities several times.

And on the other hand, the Clippers don't have much to do with the Pistons' defense, and the only point that can be grasped is Hamilton, whose defensive ability is only at the level of an ordinary player, and he can't let go of Mobley or the misplaced Brand.

In this way, the two teams played 24-22 in the first quarter, and the Clippers led by 2 points.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the bench, and Liu Su came on. In the face of the bench, Liu Su broke out as soon as he came on the court, scoring 8 in a row, having 3 assists, and playing a 14:0 climax, which suddenly suspended the Pistons.

The Pistons immediately replaced the starting two to suppress Liu Su. Big Ben sat on the inside line to avoid Liu Su's impact, Billups came to defend, relied on experience to contain Liu Su's offense, and prevented mistakes, just now Liu Su stole three balls.

The Pistons now face a problem that most teams face, and that is how to adjust the roster. Liu Su has now become the most famous super sixth man in the league, and the Clippers' bench lineup is strong, which makes many teams have a headache for this group of bench bandits.

The Clippers have a strong bench, Radmanovic and Rose are starters, and the other can play left and right, one is an offensive player and the other is a defensive player.

And this year's four rookies of the Clippers are all good, Liu Su needless to say, the two doubles on the game have already established his identity as a super point guard, and now playing the sixth man is completely bullying.

No. 30 rookie David Lee is very strong offensively, and his defense is now in shape, averaging 9.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in 15 minutes per game, with extraordinary potential.

Ryan Gomez, the No. 2 pick in the second round, also has good strength, playing 14 minutes, averaging 7.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, which is better than most rookies.

James Singleton, who was undrafted, played 10 minutes and averaged 5.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, and also wanted to be good.

If you convert it to that, if these rookies can play the same amount of time as the starters, the stats will be better than the starters. However, they are facing the substitutions of other teams, so to play such a statistic, it shows that they still need to grow, but at the moment they are much better than the substitutes of other teams.
