Chapter 401 The Eagle That Falls By Itself
Defeat the Denver Nuggets, a day later, the Phoenix Suns will still sit at home to meet the Atlanta Hawks door-to-door challenge.

This is a game where Joe Johnson challenges his old club. Joe Johnson has no intention of expressing himself and proving his strength.

Because, there is really no need for this, the current Atlanta Hawks are playing badly for the No. [-] pick.

Originally, in the new season, media reporters compared the Eagles to become a dark polo team, rising from the East.

However, now it is surprising that the Eagles not only did not fly high, but fell even lower.

In the last battle with the Raptors, the Eagles finally lost to the Raptors as they wished, allowing the Raptors to increase the number of victories to 2 games. The Eagles are now 2 wins and 15 losses. With a few more games and a few more losses, he successfully won the position at the bottom of the regular season in the league.

And successfully pushed his competitor, the Raptors, to the position of deputy squad leader.

The two teams played badly and put on new tricks. They actually gave up the ball desperately in the game to see who couldn't help but win. In the end, the Raptors sat at home and had no choice but to swallow the victory.

Therefore, Joe Johnson, as the star of the Eagles, naturally has no intention of entangled with the Suns.

He is also at a loss now, and he did not expect that the Eagles would achieve such results.Originally, he would also be optimistic about the rise of the Eagles, so he would join the Eagles. Of course, the contract and promised status offered by the Eagles are also very attractive.

It's just that he still doesn't understand why the Eagles can't win?
You know, the Eagles' lineup is not bad, and it seems that the prospects are very good.

The Eagles didn't do much this year, but they hired superstar Joe Johnson and confirmed the team's star.

In the draft, Marvin Williams, the boss of the "Calberland Four" was selected with the second pick. He is the core player who led North Carolina to the NCAA championship. Anthony of the platinum generation.

However, Marvin Williams has not adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, is in a predicament of nonsense, and his statistics are not good.

Even if the No. [-] pick can't make it, in fact, the Eagles' starting lineup is still very competitive.

At the point guard, Tyronn Lue is in charge. His strength is nothing, averaging 11.5 points and 4.6 assists per game, but he has a lot of fame.

Because he was blown away by Iverson, but helped the Lakers win the NBA championship, he also became famous.

The No. 1 position is a bit weak, but the Eagles' front and back line is even more eye-catching.

The shooting guard is played by Joe Johnson, the head player of the Eagles. The title of "Single Joe" was earned with one shot. With 21.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists, his skills are very comprehensive. If his style of play can be unique, with his status and offensive efficiency in the Eagles, he can definitely compete for the position of scoring leader.

The small forward is played by Josh Smith. His physical talent is very strong and he is the representative of the sky. He can now average 11.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. The statistics are not impressive, but if you only look at the goal highlights You'd think he was a superstar.

However, in all fairness, his physical talent is really strong.

You know, his draft pick was 2004th in the first round in 17, and he seems not to be favored.

However, he insisted on using his physical talent to impress the team, overwhelming his teammates in the same class, Josh Childress, the No. 6 pick in the first round, and Marvin Williams, the No. [-] pick this year, firmly occupied the The starting small forward position.

The power forward is played by Al Harrington. He is the second scorer of the Eagles. Currently, he averages 19.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Is a withdrawal insider.

His defensive ability is average, and his body is too thin to resist people. However, he is fast in his feet, has a good shot, and still has a strong combat power.

The center position is held by Zaza Pachulia, one of his blue-collar insiders who dare to fight.

Now, his style of play can't be seen how dirty. After all, "Ten villains" like Bowen are still active on the NBA stage, and his little moves are actually not on the table.

Ten years later, he became famous in the first battle. He can be regarded as a player with a long history of accumulation. He can now average 11.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Considering his second-round pick in the 03 Platinum Generation, his performance is still good.

The starting lineup of the Eagles, in addition to the strength of the No. 1 position, is actually really strong, which is why the new season is optimistic.

It's just that the Eagles' draft vision is very problematic. They have been selecting swingmen on the front line for the past few years.

Poaching Joe Johnson, the draft picks Josh Smith and Josh Childress, and this year's No. [-] pick Marvin Williams, and even Al Harrington the year before are all swingers.

This kind of team building is simply inexplicable. If he uses the second pick this year to pick Chris Paul or the fat Deron Williams, one of the two can achieve a rise.

Despite Marvin Williams' fame, isn't there something missing in building a team?The striker and defense line is already very strong, but there is still a need to strengthen it, it is like smashing a good hand.

As a result, as soon as the new season started, he found that his No. 1 position was not good enough and he couldn't win the ball. He had no choice but to play badly again and hit the high draft draft, wasting a year of rebuilding in vain.

The Eagles were confused, but the Suns were not. They still used the strongest lineup to face their opponents.

The Suns starting five, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Raja Bell, small forward Boris Diaw, power forward Sean Marion, and center Kurt Thomas.

In the simple warm-up exercise, the game officially started.

In the jump ball, Zaza Pachulia defeated Thomas by virtue of his height advantage, and transferred the basketball to Tylen Lue.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Eagles had the offensive ball.

Tyronn Lue dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He wanted to break through Nash, but found that his speed could not beat Nash. Good shot.

In this case, he can only learn from his teammate of the Lakers, Fisher, nicknamed "Old Fish".

Dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and distributed the basketball to Kobe. The Eagles did not have Kobe, but Joe Johnson. So, without thinking about it, he directly distributed the ball to the right.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right, Joe Johnson caught the ball and faced the frame, posing an offensive three-threat posture.

Lagabel stretched out his hand across Joe Johnson's eyes, lowered his body's center of gravity, and assumed a standard defensive posture.

Lagabel is naturally no stranger to Joe Johnson in front of him. After all, he was able to join the Suns to replace Joe Johnson.

He knew that the Joe Johnson in front of him was very capable in singles, but he was not afraid at all, because his strongest point was in defense.

On offense, he thinks he is not as good as Joe Johnson, but on defense, he is confident that he is better than Joe Johnson.

Seeing Lagabell full of fighting spirit, Joe Johnson, who had no fighting spirit, became hot.

The game can be lost, depending on the strength of the two sides, but his personal performance must not be lost to the substitute in front of him.

After Joe Johnson was caught up with a tentative step, he immediately lifted the ball and feinted, dribbled the ball and turned around and rushed into the three-point line.

Lagabel didn't expect Joe Johnson to force him directly with physical strength, so he could only follow behind and look for opportunities to get back.

Joe Johnson easily entered the inside line, pulled the ball up from the corner area, and after shaking the space, he immediately opened his hands and made a two-point jumper.

Swish! !

Joe Johnson's first ball attack did not fail, he hit the bull's-eye accurately, and the two-pointer went through the heart and into the net.

2 to 0! !
As soon as the game started, Joe Johnson gave Lagabel a bad start, forcing a breakthrough jumper and scoring two points, which was the first to win.

However, the following scene was a bit tragic. Joe Johnson's opening goal was actually the only goal the Eagles scored in the next 5 minutes.

The Eagles started the journey of more than 5 minutes to strike the iron...

After Tyronn Lue broke through Nash, he swung the angle and forced a shot, but missed.

Josh Smith was entangled by Dior, and he didn't hit the basket for him, and he shot from the outside, and he hit the iron one after another.

Zaza Pachulia does not have the right to the ball, so as long as it is a leak, there are not many calls.

Al Harrington has good mid-range shooting skills, but his real strength is that he occasionally has convulsions, and when his touch explodes, his offensive firepower is very strong.

Of course, if he doesn't feel online, he will make more unreasonable shots.

It just so happened that he couldn't find his shot, and he couldn't find it no matter how he shot.

The Eagles did not expect such an opening in the meeting. After all, the Suns' defense is not strong, and although they will lose, they are still very happy to score against their opponents.Unexpectedly, they couldn't knock the Suns' basket.

It wasn't until more than 6 points in the first quarter that the Eagles made a shot from Joe Johnson's mid-range shot, which ended this scoring drought.

However, Joe Johnson's scoring did not break the Eagles' unsmooth offense, especially when Tyronn Lue was in poor form, he actually chose to single out Nash.

Maybe he thought that Nash was the Suns' defensive flaw and wanted to break through Nash, but he overestimated his ability.

He organized, the organization was not good, he wanted to score, but he couldn't score. He actually made 7 of 0 shots and directly scored a zero.

Harrington and Zaza are equally scoreless.

Under such circumstances, the Eagles can only make a substitution, replacing this year's No. [-] pick, Marvin Williams, hoping that his appearance can change the situation of the Eagles.

Marvin Williams' talent potential is indeed very strong. As soon as he came on the field, he faced Marion's defense and scored a mid-range shot, scoring two points.Then, an empty cut attracted the Suns' defense, allowing Josh Smith to get a chance to hit the basket, making 3 of 1 shots and scoring zero.

However, the appearance of Marvin Williams just made the Eagles' offense a little bit better, and it soon sank.

It wasn't until the end of the game that Joe Johnson broke through for a layup, causing Garabel's foul and getting two free throws. On the free throw line, two free throws were made before the score was recorded.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles played an inexplicable quarter. Before the Suns could attack, the Eagles fell by themselves.

20 of 4 shots in the first quarter, only 20% of the two-pointers, 2 of 0 three-pointers, zero hits, and still two free throws allowed the Eagles to score 10 points.

10 to 25! !
The Suns' offense wasn't very violent, it was just playing normally, but, before punching hard, the opponent fell first.

The Eagles played a bad role, and they didn't get out of acting. They were in a cold state and automatically gave the victory to the Suns.

Trailing by 15 points, the Eagles are in much better condition. After all, the result is not important anymore. The key is how to collect data. The Eagles scored 26 points in the second quarter. 32 points.

The gap between the two sides has reached 21 points.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Suns felt hot, and actually played a violent offensive, scoring 35 points directly.

The state of the Eagles was gone again, and a new round of strikes began, only scoring 15 points.

After the first three quarters, the Suns directly led the Hawks by 41 points. The main players had already clocked out and sat on the bench to watch the game.

The fourth quarter continued, the Eagles continued to collect data, and actually played a fierce attack, but the result was doomed, and the Suns didn't care about the opponent's situation, just wanted to run out of time.

The Eagles worked hard in the fourth quarter, directly hitting the Suns with a 45-23 shock wave, and recovered more than 20 points.

At the end of the full time, the Phoenix Suns easily defeated the Atlanta Hawks with a score of 112 to 94 and achieved a wave of 6 consecutive victories. They were only half a game away from the top of the Western Conference and rushed to No.2.
