With the advantage of drawing cards, the Suns lost their souls in Dallas again. There were too many mistakes in the whole game, which directly caused serious damage. Under the condition of being completely unable to grasp the rhythm, 86:113 returned the big victory of the previous game. The seventh game will be decided next Monday, Taiwan time.
The overall shooting percentage of the Suns is not particularly bad, and the referee scale of the whole game is not as controversial as when it came to Dallas last time. The closed sixth game, because of his own mistakes, ruined the country.
The sun’s hit rate in the first quarter was 0.563. Even if the firepower in the second quarter stopped, it was still 0.485 in the first half. Even in the third quarter, it was still 0.444 in a single quarter, but compared to the first three quarters, the control rhythm was almost perfect, only happening. The Mavericks made 2 turnovers. The Suns made 4 turnovers each in the first two quarters, and 7 turnovers in the third quarter. The score ratio between the two teams after the turnovers in the first three quarters was 2:21, which means that the two teams did not have to. Regardless of whether the so-called game plan and strategic evolutions work, simple mistakes in offense-defense transitions and the three-pointers that the Mavericks relied on a lot of investment to get a lot of returns have already decided the outcome of the game.
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd started to put more pressure on the Suns’ backcourt Devin Booker and Chris Paul in the second quarter of this battle. Obviously, the result was very good. However, the problem of the Suns’ lack of frontcourt players who can take points by themselves when playing is broken. The impact was also seen in this game where the backcourt could not be organized smoothly. When the starting point of the attack was blocked at the first time, the sun could not operate the system, and the attack fell into passive again. This is from the championship game last year and the first round of this year. Problems that keep popping up.
Even though there were too many dunk-looking opportunities today, they didn’t really blow their minds, except for a one-handed dunk 3-pointer while riding on Luka Doncic in the third quarter (and then inexplicably swallowing a technical foul) , Deandre Ayton still scored 21 points and 11 rebounds, but it was unusual that he was already the highest scoring player for the Suns in the game, which is very unusual considering that the playoff ball power is concentrated on the main team. , and must be viewed from two perspectives. One is that the Suns have to wait for Ayton to deliver this kind of data that is not a big outbreak to lead the team. It is worth affirming that Ayton can still deliver such data when both guards cannot launch the attack smoothly, which shows that his skills are still of a certain level.
However, a single bright spot is not enough to support the Suns. There was a tug of war in the first half of this battle. However, after a few lack of breath and unable to turn the table in one fell swoop, the mistakes had an impact. Booker and CP3 made consecutive mistakes in the middle of the second quarter. Niu widened the lead to double digits with a wave of 8:0, and the same situation happened in the third quarter. The Suns made mistakes and led the Mavericks to score 8 points in a row after switching from offense to defense. This time the gap directly became more than 20 points. The huge mistakes in the three quarters and the difference between the scores after the mistakes completely reversed the situation of the Suns’ victory over the Mavericks in the previous battle. The script just replaced the protagonist, and the sun was drowned in his own mistakes.
Booker scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, hit only 0.353, CP3 only had 13 points, 4 assists, and 5 turnovers. The rest of the Suns players scored in single digits. The Mavericks topped the list with Doncic’s 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. Bullock made five three-pointers and supported 19 points. Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie scored 18 and 15 points, respectively. Dinwiddie scored the other two points. All from 3-pointers.
The Suns adopted the same scheduling mode as the fifth battle, but this time Kidd came prepared and actively put pressure on Landry Shamet when the Suns attacked. The sudden increase in intensity made it impossible for Shamet to help the starting double guards steadily. Eat the rest time, and the Sun’s bigger problem is that facing the Mavericks’ 5-out formation, the defense is always broken at the first line. If there is a chance to switch defense in the pick-and-roll, it is necessary to directly break through the first line. Beware of the Mavericks’ three-pointer from the bottom corner. If you take care of this and lose the other, you will fall completely. In the second half, Doncic made two direct dunks, and the other two rumored Reggie Bullock made three-pointers. time to hit hard.
Like the Warriors the day before, the Suns also played a game that didn’t perform as well as they should. We have reason to believe that, just like Game 5, Monty Williams will find a way to face the ugly defeat and make some changes, but We can’t help but wonder if Williams, whose career wasn’t really known for his resilience, could really find a way to cope after a two-day hiatus.
We have to admire the Mavericks, even though a lot of 3-pointers seem to be the challenge they choose, and the 39:18 shot count on both sides of the game does work. The Mavericks scored 10 more 3-pointers than the Suns. , it has indeed become a good move to challenge high-ranked seeds. The regular season is considered to be the sun that can defend the opponent’s three-pointer. In this round, it faces a huge test. In the original regular season, it seems that even if the main player is absent, the system can still run smoothly. The three losses in the first round were also obviously affected by the low ebb of CP3, which once again proved that the system of the regular season is only the floor, and in the playoffs, it is the ceiling. The ceiling dilemma of the Suns, which has been repeatedly mentioned in the past, seems to have resurfaced after the Mavericks did drag the game into a scorched-earth battle.
The Suns once again lost the game in this series because of their own stupidity. It is obvious that even if the regular season swept thousands of troops, the weaknesses that existed in the lineup eventually emerged in the high-intensity battlefield that required a high ceiling. This is also the Sun. Even though it is the leader of the league, it does not have the fact that the championship team in the past has a high sense of coercion. Now the game has entered the seventh game of life and death, and the game is played on the spot. With one more day off, the Suns need to really find the mode they are good at , back to the smooth operation of the three home games before the series, the rhythm is completely controlled by his own hands, otherwise, we should expect the dual core in the backcourt to at least get rid of the dilemma of at least one person in the middle of the battle, and decide the battle situation with the dominance of the stars.
And this will be the Suns’ biggest test in the playoffs in the last two years.
