Collection of broken thoughts (3)

I know that some brothers watched the live broadcast of the Suns vs. Pelicans out of the mentality of watching Jones, Murphy, and Dillon, and then began to think about whether Grayson Allen could come over.

Don't ask me why I know.

The Suns have won three consecutive games, two games coming to them from the Clippers. Clippers fans should break through the defense more thoroughly. The five-game losing streak is not the key. The key is that they have Beal this time.

To be honest, I didn't expect the Clippers to be worse than the Suns this season. What does the sun have? Star Booker, high-quality puzzle pieces Dillon and Ma Wei, potential star Green, and a few scattered role players and young people who can still be used. On paper, this is probably not as emotional a lineup as the Clippers. Green played a total of 1 game and a few minutes, and the opponents were all against the Clippers. It doesn't matter. I mean, one of the Suns' stars was not as good as Leonard. Booker played very well, and Harden performed not bad either. Booker suffered from the trouble of not having a point guard, and most of his mistakes were expected. The Clippers' No. 1 position is well-known, but the team made mistakes and exploded. It's really outrageous. From the perspective of team operation, the Suns, which seem to be more unorganized, are actually smoother than the Clippers. I don't know who is responsible for this.

Possibly more importantly, the Suns have a less no-brainer aspect than the Clippers. The Clippers' defense is terrible. Although "if Zubac is not in the position to protect the rim, there will be no one to protect the rim" is a shortcoming that the Clippers have been unable to solve. However, in terms of high continuity in the interior and leading defensive resources, the Clippers do have it, but they can't use it together. The Suns also have a high degree of continuity inside, and they are not lacking in leading defense. More importantly, the Suns don't seem to have anyone in particular to take care of, and they don't have a strict comfort zone for interior defense. Ma Wei, Richards, and Iguodaro are still much better mobile than Zubac and Daluo. The Clippers' veterans, leading defenders, and insiders all have distinct advantages. The veterans' golf intelligence, experience, and shooting skills, the toughness and athleticism of the veterans, and the height of the insiders. All these must be placed in the right position to be effective, so the threshold for chemical reactions is higher. The sun doesn't have these problems.

This is all making up after the fact. It can only explain the Clippers' bad situation, but it cannot explain the good situation of the Suns.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Suns' paper lineup reached the play-off range. It is hard to say whether they can stay here in the future. What I'm interested in are individual Suns players. I don’t blame you for being greedy for power. The people the Sun paid a lot of money to get will not really give it to you. If you want Di Long, you have to think about his grievances and grievances with that person and that person. OK, so what about Grayson Allen, who scored 42 points today?

I have mentioned Allen several times recently. If we say that he relied on his old comrades for his sharp breakthroughs and tough confrontation against the Clippers, then against the Pelicans, he had a good hand from the outside and resolutely finished the impact. This is a bit of a saying. Allen has basically proven his attributes as a mobile shooter over the years, has some ball-handling intelligence, and can deal with complex environments. It's a bit difficult for him to be used as the first defender, and he is far more effective defensively than the average shooter.

So...

Well, I don’t think the Suns will give up on the season before their record collapses. They brought in Ma Wei to express their attitude. More importantly, the draft rights are limited, and they do not have the conditions to lie flat in the future.

So, I’m just talking casually, especially considering that Allen’s 2+1 contract is not too small.

Allen's strength may still be expected. Royce O'Neal has a period of time every year where he is particularly good. He shoots, passes, and intercepts. His top-level performance is basic within a limited period. You'd better not think that this can continue into the high-end games of the playoffs.

The most interesting thing is actually Gillespie - the Suns don't have a serious point guard, so who is this guy?

Prolific in three-pointers and assists, doesn't make many mistakes, has a tenacious style of play, and has rebounding data that exceeds his talent. The sun hints at success in tapping potential.

Please note that Gillespie's panel data:

Averaged 23.9 minutes per game, 10 points + 3.6 rebounds + 5.3 assists + 1.1 steals + 0.5 blocks + 2.5 three-pointers + 38.9% three-point shooting percentage + 54.5% true shooting percentage + 3.63 assist-loss ratio.

This is a dollar-for-dollar data:

Averaged 29.1 minutes per game, 12.2 points + 4.7 rebounds + 3.3 assists + 1.2 steals + 0.3 blocks + 1.6 three-pointers + 34% three-point shooting percentage + 56% true shooting percentage + 2.25 assist-to-loss ratio.

I can only say that I am a little angry.

The point guard plays a big role. Just having a point guard and no one scoring is not enough.

Which team in the league lacks the most offensive resources?

This can be debated. But the teams with the lowest developed offense in the league are mostly the Wizards.

What’s interesting is that the Wizards played a high score today with the Pistons, who previously ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency, 135 to 137. Even taking into account overtime, this score is not low. Of course, the score is of little reference, because the Pistons are indeed short of many people, and because of the lack of people, we have the opportunity to see a very extreme game:

Old CJ scored 42 points. Although the Wizards' overall development level is insufficient, there is no doubt about CJ's ability to explode in a single game, and his shooting skills with the ball are still online;

Cunningham scored 46 points and used 45 shots.

Don't rush to complain, there is a reason why Cunningham played a tribute game. As mentioned before, the Pistons are short of too many people today. Those who have some ability to handle the ball and attack are all on the bench. Cunningham can't do anything about it. His statistics in this game were very comprehensive. In addition to his exaggerated shots, he also had a triple-double, 5 steals and 2 risks.

The Pistons are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Can anyone think of it during the vacation?

Looking at the lineup on paper, the Pistons cannot reach this level. But I did feel emotional when talking about the Pistons before. This team used an average paper lineup last season and delivered a performance that exceeded expectations.. Buick proved during his time with the Cavaliers that he can coach a super high-level defense, and this characteristic continues with the Pistons. The Pistons' individual defense quality is also good. Osar is flying and escaping, Holland is quick to move laterally, Javonte Green is brave, and Reed frequently highlights. The image of Stewart's violent battle with bloody charges is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is destined to be a ruthless person. His short and stocky figure jumps hard to block shots, and he has a very elegant look. Leader Cunningham may seem dull, but he is actually quite good at defense. He is active in leading defense and making up for defense. This end cannot be underestimated.

The Pistons' game was very impactful, and the game against the 76ers reflected this rhetoric. On the one hand, the Pistons team defended enthusiastically, going one after another to catch the fast-moving Maxi, enjoying both offense and defense. On the other hand, the Pistons did not have much space and were suspected of being weak in attacking the basket, so they were also attacked by the opponent in the opposite direction.

The Pistons ranked second in the league in blocks, and the 76ers ranked first.

The Pistons' athleticism is an important feature of the team, which supports the defense and also supports their league's second-ranked offensive rebounding. But for this team to reach a position beyond expectations, the confirmation of Cunningham's top ball-carrying core identity is also key. During the vacation, he also said that it is only a matter of time before Cunningham reaches the second team level. Now it seems that it is still too conservative, and there is no chance of competing for the first team. Well, after a quick calculation, there are too many perverted guys this year.

Cunningham's development ability is the foundation of the Pistons' offensive system. Combined with Duren's super strong downs - really, really strong, combined with small skills and first-level finishing skills -, it can basically break down most of the defensive system. Supplemented by Dun Luo's strategic shooting skills, the athlete's air cuts, front boards and fast breaks, the Pistons can still maintain a passable offense in a very constipated space.

A young core with unlimited physical ability to hold the ball, a pass-through expert, an active defense supported by the team's raw talent, and a finishing touch shooter. This may be the lowest-limit way to build a team.

If there is no lower limit, there must be a problem in some link.

Hmm.
