Chapter 136 Five-game winning streak

At the beginning of the game, Holmes and Ayton, the starting center of the Kings, jumped the ball. Ayton was not aware of it for a while, and Holmes turned the ball to Fox. Fox quickly advanced to the frontcourt, planning to make the first fast break.

You must know that the Suns have always been experts in fast breaks. Playing fast breaks in front of the Suns is simply asking for trouble. The Suns retreated quickly. Seeing that Ayton made a jump ball, everyone immediately returned to their defensive positions. Fox, under the defense of Paul, missed a mid-range jump ball.

Jiangbei picked up a defensive rebound, launched a fast break, passed two hands to Paul, and waited for Ayton to settle inside, then made a through ball. After receiving the ball, Ayton made a hook under the basket and scored the first point of the game 0:2.

Then Jiangbei and Paul hit a three-pointer one after another at the three-point line, directly hitting a wave of 8:0 spurts.

The Suns' defense has been strengthened by more than one level than before, which made the Kings very uncomfortable, unable to keep up with the offensive rhythm, and unable to open up the situation.

At this time, it depends on how the team's core performs. Fox is still very responsible. Since the team's offense can't be opened, then he can do it himself.

Fox passed the ball and beat Paul. Although he failed to break through under Paul's defense, it caused Paul to foul.

Fox's free throw percentage is still good, hovering around 70%, but it seems that Lady Luck is not on the side of the Kings this time. Fox made two free throws and scored only one point.

Here, Fox continued to play singles strongly against Paul, which also angered Paul. He directly ignored Jiangbei's request for the ball and signaled that he wanted to play Fox alone. This was the first time that Paul asked for singles after Jiangbei came to the Suns.

I saw that Paul is also one of the best point guards in the league. Although he is a bit old now, this year is his No. 17 season in the NBA, but if you think he is easy to bully, then you have picked the wrong target.

Paul used his signature skills and used the change of speed to successfully sway Fox's defense and break into the penalty area. Bagley immediately came to cover the defense. Paul calmly threw the shot and scored two points on the high board.

Halfway through the first quarter, the coach of the Kings called a timeout. After such a long time, the Kings still hadn’t started the game. They trailed the Suns by 7 points at 19:12, most of which were scored by free throws.

After the timeout, Jiang Bei assisted Ayton to dunk the basket with both hands. The easy dunk made Ayton roar excitedly after the dunk, which was still very domineering.

Fox returned to the court after a 2-minute break. After the break, Fox seemed to have regained the feeling of the game and learned to be smart. Instead of choosing to hit Paul hard, he began to use the pick-and-roll of his teammates to either assist his teammates to score or make a layup. Finally, he opened the situation for the Kings and did not let the game be spent prematurely.

In the first quarter, Jiangbei basically didn't play much, and only scored 9 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, which was still slightly inferior to his previous performance.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the bench lineup, but the Kings still let Hilde lead the second team. Booker and Hilde played against each other.

Booker, who was crushed by Jiangbei, also knew that as long as Jiangbei was around, he would be hopeless in the starting lineup, so he vented his anger on his opponent, and even went straight to the basket, and made a belly-stretching dunk, which caused a burst of cheers from the fans, which made Booker very satisfied.

In the third quarter of the game, the two sides returned to the court as starters again, Jiangbei began to play, and Paul entered the health maintenance mode again, only when he was defending, he would get serious, and the offense was left to Jiangbei and Ayton.

Fox was dribbling the ball near the three-point line and was making tactical gestures with his teammates. Paul cut the ball with sharp eyes and quick hands, launched a fast break, and Jiangbei quickly advanced.

The two cooperated tacitly, and an exquisite alley-oop performance was staged here. Jiangbei dunked and celebrated with Paul.

"Hey! Brother, we have more and more tacit understanding!"

"Why didn't you wait for me!" Ayton interrupted suddenly.

Jiang Bei glanced at Ayton and said jokingly, "You run too slowly!"

Then, Jiang Bei and Paul laughed and walked away, and Ayton stomped his feet in anger. It was too bullying. It is not easy for such a big man to run so fast. How can he compare with you!

Jiangbei felt hot today, making consecutive shots from outside the three-point line, once relying on Jiangbei himself to stop the Kings, the Kings had no way to take Jiangbei.

In particular, the Kings have never chosen to double-team Jiangbei, which is completely defenseless for Jiangbei!This made Jiangbei feel more and more fiery. Later, when the Kings wanted to double-team Jiangbei, there was no way to stop Jiangbei's explosion.

Jiang Bei launched a counterattack by himself, surpassing five players in a row, flashing and breaking through to the basket and throwing high into the net, ending the third quarter.

Because both sides played fast-paced games, at the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides had reached 65:90. The Suns led the Kings by 25 points.

It can be seen that the Kings were completely out of shape in this game, and Jiangbei won too easily. In the end, the Suns 127:106 the Kings and won their second victory in the regular season.

In the next three games, the Suns first headed to Denver, Colorado to challenge the Nuggets. Relying on Jiangbei's last-minute three-pointer, they narrowly beat the Nuggets by one point.

After the Nuggets' deadly battle, after returning to Phoenix for a day of rest, the Clippers ushered in at home.After a year of decline, the Clippers have ushered in a rise this season. The previous three regular seasons have achieved the same record as the Suns. Now two teams with three consecutive victories meet, and no one wants to lose.

The two teams played very anxiously. The Big Three of the Suns broke out one after another and finally defeated the Clippers and won four consecutive victories.

After defeating the Clippers, the Suns still played at home to meet the challenge of the Jazz. It can be said that these three consecutive games were very difficult for the Suns, but fortunately, the Suns finally won the games.

So far, the Suns have won all five games in the regular season and won an astonishing five-game winning streak, and the Suns' ability to win such a result is beyond everyone's expectations.
