NBA: Top 6D talents to start

McCollum scored two consecutive three-pointers, leaving the Blazers behind by 7 points.

Fortunately, after McCollum made the second three-pointer, Frye received a pass from Lillard and hit a three-pointer.

In the last 1 minute of the first quarter, the two teams did not score a single point.

32:36! ! !

The Suns entered the second quarter with a 4-point lead.

As soon as McCollum got off the court, Wei Dong stood up and slapped his chest, "Young man, you shot well."

"Thank you brother!"

McCollum felt his nose a little sour. At this moment, he felt that he was integrated into the Suns family.

Gentry asked in a low voice: "Brother Dong, this kid hasn't played a few games, how can you see his technical characteristics?"

"It was in his pre-draft scouting report."

Wei Dong casually explained.

"Oh."

Gentry nodded. "I didn't read his scouting report much."

The second quarter begins.

Curry replaced McGrady, Thompson replaced Tucker, and Carter, McCollum and Whiteside remained on the court.

For the Blazers, Lillard also took a rest.

McCollum has a good touch tonight, and although he made two three-pointers in the first quarter, the Blazers still will not regard McCollum as a defensive focus.

McCollum then played two identical pick-and-rolls with Curry.

"Shh!!!"

"Shh!!!"

Both hit three-pointers.

Four of four three-pointers were shot. After this first-year rookie arrived in the Suns, he immediately brought a lot of surprises to the home fans.

But in terms of defense, every time Frye received the ball from outside the three-point line, McCollum was the one who defended Frye. Score two three-pointers.

45:49! ! !

After 5 minutes in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers trailed by 4 points. At this time, the starting players of both sides have returned to the court.

Lillard and Aldridge were restricted by Weidong and Durant.

After the two came on the court, they missed three consecutive shots. Fortunately, Gortat grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up.

Weidong felt average in the first half, so his desire to attack was not strong.

It wasn't until the end of the second quarter that Weidong hit two mid-range shots.

63:64! ! !

At the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers trailed by 1 point.

In the first half, the Suns' best player was Durant, who scored 11 points on 7 of 17 shots, while the Trail Blazers' best players were Aldridge and Gortat. Aldridge made 13 of 8 shots. Zhong also scored 17 points, and Gortat scored a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds in the first half.

In addition to these three people, McCollum, who made [-] of [-] three-pointers, and Frye, who made [-] of [-] three-pointers, had outstanding performances in the first half.

Because these two people just switched teams and both played well, fans couldn't help but talk about it.

TNT live room.

O'Neill, "There is an old saying in China, a tree moves to die, and a person moves to live. After McCollum and Frye switched teams, both played well."

Barkley, "You are so literate!"

O'Neill, "I am different from you. I read a lot, but you read less."

Barkley, "But these two people exchanged teams. It has something to do with the people you mentioned. Even if my grandma went to the Suns, she could still score two goals in the game. Frye just played too little time in the Suns, but His three-pointers are very accurate, and he is guarded by rookie McCollum, of course he can score easily."

After the first half of the game, the players of both sides returned to the locker room.

This was the first time Gortat and Frye walked into the Suns' away locker room in two years, and they looked at it curiously.

"what happened?"

Matthews joked: "Is the away locker room of the American West Arena different from the home locker room?"

"It makes a huge difference!"

Gortat and Fry both nodded.

Aldridge said: "Seriously, compared to some teams, the away locker room at the American West Arena is already very good."

"but."

Gortat wanted to say, but there is no solid wood tea table, and Stotts does not know how to make Kung Fu tea.

Fortunately, he refrained from saying it.

Both Gortat and Frye played well in the first half. The Blazers were only 1 point behind in the first half.

In any industry, everyone will respect the strong.

Sun locker room.

When McCollum and Button changed their clothes in the afternoon, they saw the tea table taking up a lot of space, but they didn't dare to ask what it was for.

It wasn't until the intermission that the two of them saw their teammates sitting around the tea table and Gentry's smooth Kung Fu tea performance, and they were completely dumbfounded.

Can you still play like this?
Really learned a lot.

"Try it first, both of you."

Gentry first filled the cups of Button and McCollum with tea, and said: "These are two new cups prepared for you. Everyone on our team has their own cups. Gortat and Frye go. I took their cups away before."

"Thank you coach."

McCollum took the teacup in trepidation and drank it all in one gulp, "Hiss. It's so hot!"

"Hahaha"

McCollum was scalded by the tea, did not enjoy the care of his teammates, and was aroused to roar with laughter.

Gentry shook his head helplessly, "That's not how you drink tea, you have to sip it, wait for it to cool down a bit, and then drink it up in one gulp."

McCollum quickly handed the cup to Gently, "I've learned a lot, coach, pour me another cup."

Before McCollum entered the league, he imagined the life of many professional players on and off the court. He was first selected by the Kings and then traded to the Trail Blazers. After staying in the Trail Blazers for half a year, McCollum felt that the NBA was basically the same as he imagined. But it was only the second day when he came to the Suns, and his worldview was overturned.

Stotts asked Frye and Gortat before setting up his tactics, "What do you say, what is Coach Gentry doing now? What kind of tactics will he deploy in the second half?"

"he"

Gortat looked at the ceiling. He really wanted to say that Gentry should be performing Kung Fu Tea right now, but that can't be said.

After hesitating for a while, Gortat said: "Our score is very anxious. Coach Gentry should let Dong Ge attack with the ball more in the second half."

"Give the damn ball to Weidong?"

Stotts smiled, "This tactic is too low-level, let's do it like this in the second half. Do it again."

"Come on! Beat the Suns!"

The Blazers players encouraged each other to get back to the game.
