7观察到了开拓者队失去凤凰城太阳的观察

波特兰没有赢,但每场比赛都会讲更多的故事。

NBA:凤凰城的波特兰开拓者 Rick Scuteri-USA TODAY Sports

波特兰开拓者今晚继续与Elite NBA球队连胜,跌至Phoenix Suns120-90。波特兰的年轻,进攻性的阵容也无法跟上凤凰城,即使没有明星后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)和德文·布克(Devin Booker)担心。

If you missed the action and want an idea of how the game went down, you can check out our在这里逐个回顾。完成此操作后,这里还有一些其他观察结果。

连连看

Portland’s rotation at this point is like being at an old-time roller rink and hearing them call, “All Skate... All Skate...” Portland played 10 players in the first period alone and just about everybody got a chance before the game was done. Head Coach Chauncey Billups is being fairly agnostic about playing time. If your name isn’t Anfernee Simons, you’re on the “Whomever is Playing Well” carousel.

本赛季的强大发展之一是由于完全缺乏外部期望和明星球员而允许自由获得自由。(显然,球队仍然对如何打球有内部期望。没有人可以保证上场时间。这些游戏中没有什么。当开拓者及其球员探索这些球员成长的能力时,他可以深入研究纯粹的篮球,风格和努力。

失误

三分球仍然是波特兰成功的最佳指标。当三分球不下降时,他们很难保持漂浮。但是失误已成为第二个生命线。当对手放弃球并且波特兰可以奔跑时,这种进攻就会生动。当它们被困在半场时,pffffftttttt。

This is not a sustainable recipe for success. However, some of the principles—alertness and activity, instantly converting defense to offense—can fit nicely into a more balanced attack someday...hopefully?

Move and... Then What?

除了在扩展区防守之旅中倾向于自满的倾向外,开拓者在防守端比与老兵明星更加活跃。他们快速地反对穿透力,几乎总是有帮助,当球朝向水桶时。这些特征在两个月前没有逃学点。

仍然存在两个大问题。

首先,他们的帮助对rim不匹配y alacrity closing out to the three-point arc. Like their predecessors, this lineup seems capable of making one defensive shift, but not two. This leaves them open to the old-as-the-hills drive and dish move. Phoenix was shooting target practice from distance all evening,

即使他们参加比赛(值得赞扬的是,他们也经常在弧线内部都做),除了强迫上述T.O.外,他们无法在那里做很多事情,这并不经常发生。它们不是很大,长或防御性的。他们有可能有资格获得其中一种形容词的球员,但还没有三个人。这导致了很多:“从理论上讲这很好,但实际上……哦。”

沃特福德伸展

归功于其他工作人员丹尼·马朗(Danny Marang)。

这Blazers are letting Trendon Watford stretch out a little, not just planning on him finishing plays, but allowing him to catch above the free throw line and initiate dribble hand-offs.

现在,如果他能从那里开发一个转机跳线...

西蒙斯与世界

We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. Every shot Anfernee Simons hits should come with a gold star attached. Opponents are trapping him like crazy, forcing the ball anywhere, as long as it’s not in his hands. This is excellent practice for when he becomes the #1 option in a better lineup someday.

就是说,这不是西蒙斯最好的夜晚。他在4-10杆的命中率上只得到11分,尽管弧线以3-4的比分。他无法承受这种压力,无法获得干净的外观或任何外观。

这Other Side of the Coin

说到阵容...

除了上周赞美波特兰的补充球员外,我们什么也没做。在大多数情况下,他们击球并打得很聪明。他们仍然很聪明,但是这些镜头并没有下降。差异相当重大。

这是团队过渡的一部分。他们看起来像是一个有前途的小队,完全无能为力。任何认为团队现在拥有足够的基础设施或甚至接近的人都应该等待十分钟。这种印象将会改变。

下一个伟大的布兰登

后卫布兰登·威廉姆斯(Brandon Williams)在15分钟内获得了5-8的进攻夜命中率为14分。他是该部门杰出的少数开拓者之一。在情况下,他以左臀部指针离开了比赛,这是不幸的。

Stats

今晚有一些重要的统计数据:

9 out of 11 Blazers players registered a negative plus-minus. The starting lineup all finished in negative double-figures, “led” by Simons with a -31 and CJ Elleby with -33. That’s a lot.

波特兰的投篮命中率为38.5%。凤凰局达到50.0%。

Portland forced 16 turnovers. Yay! They committed 19. Boo.
