At the last 1 minute 20 seconds of the fourth quarter, the eagle fell behind the Pelican twice, and dezhantai Murray used a strong attack to equalize the score twice, dragging the game into overtime. In overtime, Murray made a perfect start for the eagle after a hit and a snatch.

After the game, Trey Yang took over, and he sent out three assists in a row. Among them, the long-distance diagonal pass for John Collins was especially exciting and critical. Collins hit three points and the Eagle locked the victory.

In this battle, the Eagle’s Suncha advantage was revealed. The Eagle was no longer the team that relied too much on Yang’s play. Murray could help him share a lot of pressure on holding the ball and shine with him. In the whole game, Yang scored 34 points and 10 assists. Murray scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals for the first time in his eagle career.

Inadvertently, the two also set a record for the history of the Eagle team. One person in a single game scored at least 30 points +10 assists, and the other person scored at least 20 points and 10 assists. This is the first time in the history of the Eagle team, the history of the alliance is the 55th.

So far this season, the cooperation effect of Eagle Suncha has exceeded expectations. Yang field has averaged 28.2 points plus 9.4 assists, Murray Field has averaged 22 points plus 8.1 assists, both of them scored a total of 50.2 points and 17.5 assists. The expected compatibility problems and the distribution of ball rights are not obvious. The two led the eagle to play a 6-win and 3-loss record and the 4th in the east. The Eagles improved several weaknesses last season, and at the beginning, ESPN rated the deal as C.

Before the start of the season, the Eagle backcourt Suncha was regarded as the 4th backcourt combination of the league, behind the Warriors, the Sun, the grizzly bear Suncha. But now, there is more room for discussion on this issue.

In the first round of the playoffs last season, the eagle management was deeply stung. Watching Yang being infinitely targeted by the hot defense, the eagle management realized the importance of introducing the second ball holding point. The defense of the heat was not complicated. All of them besieged Yang Yi. Yang was suppressed and only received 15.4 points and 6 assists, field goal percentage and 31.9 percent, with a three-point hit rate of 18.4 percent, there were 31 mistakes in 5 games.

In the regular season, the eagle scored 117.2 points in the 100 rounds when Yang was present, 10 points more than when he was not present. But in the playoffs, when Yang was targeted, the rest of the Eagle could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of holding the ball. When Yang was present, the Eagle’s 100-round score fell to 100 points. Compared with the number of times of touching the ball, the time of holding the ball, the number of breakthroughs, and the shots under interference, the player who ranked second in the Eagle has a gap with Yang.

LeBlanc-James, James-Harden and other big ball holding cores have all proved that no matter how strong their personal abilities are, they all need a second ball holding player to help share the pressure. Yang is no exception, so it is logical for the eagle to introduce Murray.

Murray scored 21.1 points, 9.2 assists, 8.3 rebounds, and 2 steals in Spurs games last season. Since the statistics of steals in the 1973-74 season, he is the first player to cut 20+9+8+2 in a single season. On the defensive end, Murray’s single-soldier defensive ability can share the pressure with Yang. On the offensive side, as the 6th player in the league who performed 2617 times in a single season, Murray was able to liberate Yang.

“He is almost omnipotent,” Yang said, “defense, scoring, organization, his thinking is very advanced, he can bring us too much contribution.”

Yang’s comments on Murray were correct. Murray arrived, and the Eagle’s two weaknesses improved. The penalty area score and fast attack score soared. Last season, the Eagle penalty area scored the 20th in the league, and the fast attack score was at the bottom. Murray sent 303 passes last season to restricted area near the basket to help his teammates form the 12th place in the league. He was the champion of the league and destroyed his opponent 271 passes. With Murray’s chance of making fast attack for internal passing and destroying the opponent’s attack, the Eagle penalty area score has been raised to the 8th and the fast attack score has been raised to the 9th this season.

The outside world’s doubts about Eagle Suncha basically focused on compatibility, ball power distribution, and two people’s ball-free attack. So far, Eagle Suncha has given high scores to these three questions.

The difficulty of ball right allocation is that both of them are players who need to hold a lot of balls in hand to play the strongest power. Murray touched the ball 87.5 times per game last season, which is higher than Yang du who touched the ball 84.2 times per game, both of them ranked in the top 10 of the alliance. Coach McMillan has been emphasizing sacrifice. This season, Murray’s average number of hits dropped to 69.3, while Yang dropped to 72.5. Both of them dropped to 30 places, subtracting the ball weight together solves the problem of ball weight.

In terms of compatibility, when the two were present at the same time, the eagle scored 117.6 points in the hundred rounds, lost 105.4 points, and lost both attack and defense. The goal difference points in the hundred rounds reached 12.2 points. When Yang received Murray’s pass, his hit rate reached 54.8 percent. When Murray received Yang’s pass, his hit rate reached 52.2 percent, which was higher than his season average.

In terms of no-ball attack, Murray wins in efficiency, with a three-point hit rate of over 40% in receive the ball, while Yang is the biggest player in the adjustment of play. In order to adapt to Murray, Yang Xiu once trained with Curry during the competition period and asked about the tricks of playing without balls. This season, Yang’s change is obvious. He only cast three points in 77 games receive the ball in 76 games last season, with less than one game, while this season has increased to 2 times.

In this way, it may not be obvious. Continue to look: The number of times Yang hundred rounds borrowed no ball cover increased to 11.5, while the average career value was 7.

In terms of playing style, the number of singles in Yang’s 100 rounds and the number of blocks and splits decreased compared with last season, but the fixed point goal attempts, the number of shots without ball cover, and the number of conversion attacks all increased. After calculation, the number of shots of Yang’s 100 rounds of no-ball attack increased by nearly 4 times.

This is not the best Eagle yet.

Yang started this season with a slow start and low overall efficiency, with field goal percentage less than 40%, and there is still huge room for improvement. Bogdan-Bogdanovic is still recovering from knee surgery and has not completed the first show of the season so far. When Yang feels warmer and Bogdanovic returns, the 13th offensive efficiency of the Eagle league is expected to reach at least the top 10.

The Eagle’s defense has improved, and the defense efficiency of the 26th in last season has been improved to the 16th, but if the Eagles want to go further, their defense has to be further improved to the top 10. The defense to save the eagle cannot rely solely on Murray, Collins, Hunter and others, including Yang himself.

Success is never achieved overnight, but try to take every step right, be steadfast, and cooperate with a little luck. Where is the limit of Eagle? It is still unknown now, but what is certain is that the eagle’s introduction of Murray was right.
