Chapter 273 5 consecutive victories
On January 2005, 1, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Los Angeles Clippers easily and won four consecutive victories without bloodshed.

The Suns still started the game with five tigers, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Sean Marion, center Amar Ray Stoudemire.

The Clippers' starting five are point guard Marko Jaric, shooting guard Bobby Simmons, small forward Corey Maggette, power forward Chris Kaman, and center Elton - Brand.

The first quarter of the game started, the offensive firepower of the Suns was berserk, and they played a multi-point offensive situation. Among them, Marion played bravely, made a perfect mid-range shot, and had an advantage in facing Kaman with an empty cut layup. Kaman made 10 of 7 shots in a single quarter, scored 14 points and 3 rebounds, showing his top physical talent.

Although Joe Johnson's three-pointer on the outside is not open, individual singles can also provide a lot of offensive firepower.

Richardson rained three-pointers from the three-point line, making the Clippers' defense lose sight of one another and be very passive.

On the other hand, the Clippers' offense couldn't be opened, and the shooting touch fell to freezing point under the Suns' strong mobile defense.

布兰德5投1中，卡曼4中1，马盖蒂3中1，全队进攻十分糟糕。

In fact, the record of the Clippers this season is not hopeless. They have a record of 16 wins and 15 losses, ranking ninth in the West, and have every hope of hitting the playoffs.

Moreover, after the New Year, the Clippers are in very good condition, playing a wave of three consecutive victories.

Unexpectedly, at his home court, facing the Suns with the best record in the league, he would not be effective. The offensive firepower was directly misfired, and the defensive Rui could not withstand the violent attack of the Suns.

After the first quarter, the Phoenix Suns led the Los Angeles Clippers by 37 to 14, temporarily leading the Los Angeles Clippers by 23 points.

The game continued in the second quarter. Both sides were not conservative. The Clippers didn't seem to care about winning or losing. They didn't make a fuss on the defensive end, but took the initiative to speed up and attack the Suns. Offensive firepower to fight back against the Suns.

It's just that the Clippers' calculations were wrong. In the offensive rhythm that the Suns like to play against the Suns, they simply found the wrong opponent.

The Suns' 7-second running and bombing and diamond tactical play got a chance to shine at this moment, and the offense was brought into full play.

Let the Clippers experience the horror of the Orange Storm.

In the second quarter, the Suns' offensive firepower not only continued well, but played even more fiercely.

Richardson and Joe Johnson's two three-point guns completely released their powerful power in the running and bombing.

Richardson made 3 of 3 three-pointers and scored 9 points. Joe Johnson made 2 of 2 three-pointers and 2 of 2 two-pointers. He scored 10 points in a single quarter and teamed up to score 19 points. Clippers basket.

In addition to the two guns on the outside, the Suns' offensive efficiency on the inside is also very good. Stoudemire increased his impact on the basket. The basket scored well.

Under Nash's needle-threading, the Suns still had full offensive firepower and played a multi-point offensive situation. They directly scored 41 points in the second quarter, and the offensive firepower was a bit too strong.

The Clippers' offensive firepower is also very good, scoring 33 points, which can be said to be a passing score.

The substitute players performed very efficiently, but there were not many offensive opportunities. Although the main players recovered, their efficiency was not high.

Especially when he was desperate, Simmons' performance was disappointing. He hit the iron again and again, making 7 of 1 shots and becoming an undercover agent.

The key thing that makes people unhappy is that they obviously don’t feel good, but they want to rush to make shots, and they obviously miss outside shots, but they still insist on floating outside shots. thousands of miles.

At the end of the first half, the Phoenix Suns led the Los Angeles Clippers by 78 points 47 to 31 and entered the locker room to rest.

Leading by 31 points at halftime, the Suns established the victory early, and the two sides almost went through the motions in the second half.

The Clippers also tacitly resisted for a few minutes before conceding.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns beat the Los Angeles Clippers 118-95.

On January 2005, 1, the Phoenix Suns returned to the home court immediately without stopping to face the Indiana Pacers back to back.

The Indiana Pacers are a strong team in the Eastern Conference. Under the leadership of head coach Rick Carlisle last season, they achieved an amazing record of 61 wins and 21 losses and won the championship team in the regular season last season.

However, facing this strong team, the generals of the Suns showed a very relaxed expression on their faces.

Before the game, media reporters directly sentenced the Pacers to death, without any intention of predicting in advance.

It's not that media reporters, his opponents, and fans look down on the Pacers, but the Pacers have killed themselves this season and paid for themselves.

On November 2004, 11, the Pacers and the Pistons had a fight, which was the infamous fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

For their own impulse, the Pacers lost a "Warrior Saint", Stephen Jackson, and a "Beast", Artest.

Jackson was directly suspended for 30 games, and Artest was even more severely suspended for 73 games.

The Pacers have lost two All-Star generals, and they are still both offensive and defensive. How can the main scorer still pose a threat to the Suns.

The Pacers' current record is only 16 wins and 15 losses, that is, in the Eastern Theater, they are still hanging at the end of the playoffs. If they are in the Western Theater, they can definitely get the No. [-] pick.

The Pacers' lineup is still bluffing, missing two All-Star players, and there are O'Neill and Reggie Miller.

O'Neill is in his prime, but Reggie Miller only has his reputation left, and he can't beat him at all.

In the evening, the Phoenix Suns played against the Indiana Pacers at the American West Arena. The game officially started.

In the first quarter, the Suns didn't show mercy. They still attacked to their heart's content, scoring points, rushing, running, and booming. The powerful offensive firepower directly hit the Pacers so that they couldn't lift their heads.
