在轻松击败新奥尔良鹈鹕,,,,the 1-0 Portland Trail Blazers look to build on a successful start to the season when they visit the Phoenix Suns Friday night for the first of two back-to-back contests.

太阳队希望他们与波特兰的比赛能够比他们的赛季揭幕战更好达拉斯小牛,他们丢失了111-95。

Since the 2015-16 season just tipped off, we thought we'd check in withDave Kingfrom the Phoenix Suns SBN affiliate site阳光的光线for Q and A session on what we can expect from the Suns headed in to a back to back with Phoenix on Friday and Saturday night.

Hi Dave, thanks for taking the time to chat! Let's get right to it. After last year's drama with the Dragic/Thomas/Bledsoe experiment, the Suns return with a variation of the two point guard attack, pairing Bledsoe withBrandon Knight。两个球队的卫队是否能够在杰夫·霍纳塞克的进攻中共存?

是的,两个球主导者可以共存。它只是必须是正确的两个球命名的控球后卫,显然必须是两个,而不是三个。在2013 - 14年度,The Suns能够将Bledsoe和Dragic的配对取得成功,并获得了23-11的战绩,并获得了前10名进攻和防守评分。当您的特许经营连续五个赛季徘徊在.500以下时,23-11看起来非常好。但这只是34场比赛,因为布莱索的受伤,太阳在以赛亚·托马斯(Isaiah Thomas)中加倍了保险。繁荣。崩溃。

现在,他们重新启动了Bledsoe/Knight,但还没有火花。两者看起来有点困惑。好的,很困惑。还有时间可以弄清楚这一点,但是周三晚上的比赛似乎并没有比去年的奈特受伤之前的几场比赛更接近。

We will see pretty soon if Knight and Bledsoe can find chemistry in this lineup together. If not, we've got another long, long season coming in the valley.

Speaking of the offensive system, the Suns have been one of the faster teams in the league over the last two seasons, in terms of pace of play. Do you see them successfully maintaining this style of play even after all of the personnel changes since opening day last season? Bonus question: With all of the aforementioned personnel changes, which player is most likely to have a breakout season?

是的,我认为太阳打算奔跑,奔跑,在进攻端奔跑。我在周三的比赛之前询问了霍纳塞克教练,他确认这没有改变。从周三晚上的半场进攻来看,他们期望他们跑得更多。这就是他们将获得最简单的分数。新收购桑尼·韦姆斯andDevin Booker(新秀)喜欢奔跑,因此它可能必须变成田径比赛才能达到100。

Phoenix made one of the surprise moves of the offseason, addingTyson Chandler(几乎诱惑LaMarcus Aldridgealong with him). Long known as a pro's pro, how do you see Chandler impacting the Suns defense/locker room? Do you think he can have a positive impact on亚历克斯·伦,,,,Markieff Morris,,,,et al?

太阳依靠钱德勒将他们带到成熟的土地。去年没有任何东西,它的需求与沙漠中的水一样艰难。亚历克斯·伦(Alex Len)已经更加自信地发挥了作用。他拥有在联盟中取得成功所需的所有技能 - Len的关键是快速决定并相信自己的选择。钱德勒可以为此提供帮助。他每天都在伦的耳朵里,与他谈论在进攻和防守上的适当定位。钱德勒的进攻非常有限,但这正是Len所需要的:有人简化自己的游戏计划。只是玩大。比另一个人大。保持高高,高高抓住,获得高位。

Regarding Markieff Morris, Chandler has already made an impact by helping Morris re-adjust to the Suns after the summer trade of his brother and his own trade rumors. Chandler's been replaced too, so he can impart the wisdom to play for your teammates and coaches. Don't worry about the front office. There's turnover every season.

但是Markieff在第一场比赛中邮寄 - 自从他宣布“我的未来不在凤凰城”以来,这是第一场真正重要的游戏 - 因此,由于游戏很重要,他一直在努力狗。我很想知道我们这个周末与开拓者队有哪个Markieff。

3点轰炸机杰拉尔德·格林(Gerald Green)走了,但是新秀SGDevin Booker是在。布克被认为是最高的国家之一shooters in the draft, though he is not nearly as athletic as Green. How will he fit in the offense and will he be able to replace some of Green's scoring punch?

Few NBA players are as athletic as Gerald Green, but a great many of them are more cerebral. Booker has already shown a veteran's ability to make the right plays when given the chance, while Green was always a question mark. Booker scored 14 the other night, the first 18 year old to score that many points sinceAmir Johnsonin 2006.

是的,布克可以取代格林的很多得分,但是问题是他只有18岁,而且仍然经常受到虐待。资深桑尼·韦姆斯(Sonny Weems)是格林(Green)大部分时间的人,至少要开始本赛季。韦姆斯不是得分手,但他的地板状况很好,通过得很好,另一端带来了强大的防守。

Vegas has the over/under on Phoenix's win total at 36.5. As an outsider this seems to be a bit low, though maybe in the right ballpark. As someone who watches the team night in and night out, how many wins are you predicting this season? With Utah and the Pelicans expected to be better (and OKC at full health) will the Suns sniff the playoffs?

太阳可以肯定会嗅到季后赛,但是他们将不得不长大并学习如何快速成功。他们负担不起缓慢的开始,并在本赛季的剩余时间里赶上赶上。真正需要开始强壮并从那里获得季后赛位置的领先优势。

但是我在这里有一些真正的担忧。进入开幕之夜,我认为这支球队是维加斯赢得投影的肯定要“结束”。但是在那场比赛之后,我持怀疑态度。星期五的比赛还不能很快到来,即使与一支比大多数人预期的强大的波特兰队对抗。

戴夫,感谢您加入我们并分享您的见解。期待小费!
