Zeng Fanbo scored 0 points in his debut! The Suns reversed the Nets 132-127. I completely recognized 5 players in this game

NBA preseason in China, Phoenix Suns and Brooklyn Nets are about to clash! The Suns have become one of the laughingstocks this offseason. The Suns are getting weaker and weaker every time they switch from five horses to six sheep. The Suns were once a Finals team, but they were screwed by the management. Bridges, Ayton and Paul were traded away in exchange for two false cores. This summer, they had no choice but to abandon Beal, and also traded Durant, the most stable offensive scoring point. The key is that from Durant's operation, the Suns actually got nothing, and they got Jaylen Green. Moreover, the Suns are very confident in Green's prospects. From the data point of view, Jaylen Green does have some talent. He averaged 21 points per game last season. As one of the Rockets' top scorers, Green's play style is inefficient and he is not qualified for the boss's responsibilities. There is still a big gap between him and a serious All-Star player.

It depends on whether the sun can turn decay into magic and really train Jaylen Green. On the other side, the Nets are a well-established team. This offseason, the Nets had a dispute with Thomas, the core of their team, and only offered him a one-year qualifying offer contract of 6 million, which Thomas had no choice but to accept. In the new season, when the Nets are not pursuing record, Thomas will definitely have to work hard to prove himself and get his worth back. He needs to prove that he can not only score individually, but also complete team contributions, good organization and other tasks. It is worth mentioning that the young player Zeng Fanbo signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Nets before the start of the preseason. This preseason is China after all, and Zeng will definitely make an appearance. Let us look forward to his performance.

In this game, the two sides have starting lineups. The Suns are sending Booker, Allen, Iguodaro, Dunn and Dillon, but Jaylen Green is not playing. The Nets sent Mann, Porter Jr., Claxton, Thomas and Tekaore. At the beginning of the first quarter, the Nets won the jump ball and took the lead in launching the first attack. Thomas Jr. rushed to the frontcourt and scored the first goal of the game. Treola used the screen to fly to the layup and also made a solid hit. Clarkston crushed the layup inside and scored 2+1. Thomas made a difficult pull-up jumper, and the basket went on a 9-0 run. Dillon's sudden-stop jump shot finally opened the door for the Suns. Porter Jr. made a confident shot from beyond the three-point line and made a steady hit. Thomas felt hot, and the difficult pull-up three-pointer hit the center of the net again.

Seeing Thomas' determination to prove himself, he struck hard at the beginning of the preseason. He scored 14 points on all 6 shots in the first quarter, leading the Nets to take the initiative. At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led the Suns by 10 points 39-29. At the beginning of the second quarter, Thomas made another passionate throw to help the Nets take the lead. Allen sprinted to the basket and stormed to score 2+1. Cloney confidently shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner and scored hollow. Treola got through the defense and also had a smart layup. Claxton used his double hammer to smash the basket and hit the basket with a dunk that shocked everyone. There were more than three minutes left before the end of the half, and Zeng Fanbo finally came out after being called for! After coming on the field, Zeng Fanbo was very active, flying to the ground to fight for Dillon. This action was indeed a bit too big, and he received an offensive foul.

It is a pity that Zeng Fanbo has not had enough presence in the game since then, has not contributed much, and has zero statistics. In addition, Thomas is too independent and does not pass the ball. After half the game, the Nets lead the Suns by 12 points 71-59. At the beginning of the second half, the game changed sides again. Dillon continuously changed directions to shake the defense and score layups, kicking off the third quarter. Iguodaro ignited the game with a two-handed dunk on the inside. Booker's slow three-step floater also hit the board. Then Booker made an emergency stop jumper in the middle and scored two points. The Suns suddenly came into full fire in the third quarter. Under the leadership of star Booker, a wave of super offensive tied the score. The two sides returned to the same starting line. Thomas' strong 3+1 shot fell straight into the heart of the basket, helping the Nets stop the bleeding in time. Booker was not to be outdone, and hit another large three-pointer with a horizontal move.

After three quarters, the Suns overtook the Nets by 5 points 89-84. In the final quarter of the decisive battle, both sides put on substitute lineups, and the game was stalemate until the final stage. There were still 4 minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter. Zeng Fanbo was substituted again. Unfortunately, he still didn't get many chances to make a shot, and basically couldn't touch the ball. In the last attack, the Suns trailed the Nets by two points. Zeng Fanbo defended Butler and was passed by one step, and then committed a foul. It was a pity that Butler made two free throws and the game entered overtime with a 121-121 tie. In overtime, the Suns completely had the upper hand. In the end, the Suns reversed the Nets 132-127.

In this preseason game, I completely recognized these four players. The first one was Thomas. Thomas played 24 minutes, scored 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists, and made 7 of 12 shots. To be fair, Thomas proved his ability this time. His scoring output was as good as ever, and his efficiency was also up. The key is 6 assists. However, objectively speaking, Thomas is still a bit independent. He will not pass the ball unless he has to. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely do it alone. 6 assists can only show that his assist success rate is high, but his passing attitude is still a bit poor. The second one, Booker, scored 18 points and 5 assists. After Durant and Bill left, the Suns only left Booker as an All-Star player. This also put a lot of pressure on Booker in the new season, requiring him to take on more organizational tasks. Everyone knows that Booker has always played the No. 2 position, and it is still a bit reluctant for him to be the point guard.

The third one, Dillon, scored 18 points and 3 assists. Dillon still played well in his debut with the Suns. Although he is only a role player, Dillon is still very functional and has tough attributes. His arrival is still very gratifying for the Suns. The fourth, Maluachi, scored 10 points and 5 rebounds. As this year's No. 10 pick, he said to Yang Hansen: Brother, thank you, have a safe journey, good buddy. Maluach seems to be very capable, and he will get more attention when he comes to the NBA.. The fifth one was Zeng Fanbo at that time. Zeng Fanbo played 10 minutes and scored 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal and 3 fouls. This performance is indeed difficult to praise, and it also needs to be officially different from NBA-level players. Looking at it now, it is basically impossible for Xiao Zeng to convert the contract into a two-way contract, and he still needs to hone it.
