5 points on 14 shots, plus-minus of -23! The Clippers made the wrong payment after all! He really can t replace Bobby Kobe

The Los Angeles Clippers challenged the Phoenix Suns away from home. Leonard and Harden were both absent from this game. As a result, the focus of this battle will naturally make former Suns player Bradley Beal and new Suns player Jaylen Green the protagonists of the game. Because this game is Jaylen Green's first game since joining the Phoenix Suns, and it is also Bradley Beal's first visit to Phoenix since being bought out by the Suns this summer. So, what kind of sparks will this showdown between the Suns' old players VS new players bring?

In this game, Jaylen Green, who made his debut in the Suns career, performed amazingly! He played for 22 minutes and 58 seconds, making 10 of 20 shots, 6 of 13 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, scoring 29 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, with a plus-minus value of +30, the highest in the game. After Devin Booker had such a powerful assistant in Jaylen Green, he played with ease in this game, scoring 24+6+7+3 in the game. With the Geminis combining to score 53+9+10+5, the Suns finally defeated the Clippers 115-102.

As everyone knows, what stood in sharp contrast to the stunning debut of new Suns player Jaylen Green was the disastrous performance of former Suns player Bradley Beal! Bill should have been aggressive on the offensive end without Kaden Jr., after all, Kaden would have most of the ball rights assigned to him, but in this campaign, he felt cold and struggled extremely on the offensive end! Beal, who started for 19 minutes, made only 2 of 14 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, only 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. The plus-minus value of -23 is very eye-catching!

I originally thought that fighting against his old boss would inspire Bill to kill all sides on the offensive end, but instead he clumsily contributed to a disaster-level performance. He made 2 of 14 shots from the field and didn't make any free throws. He only scored a measly 5 points. This was simply a "crime". Just imagine, when a team's most reliable scoring weapon is completely useless, there is a high probability that a complete defeat awaits them!

It is worth mentioning that the Clippers were nearly 30 points behind the Suns in this game. If the Suns had not slacked off at the end of the fourth quarter and gave them a chance to chase points, the Clippers would have probably suffered a 30+ point defeat today.

Of course, Bill's hip-stretching performance against his old team, the Suns, is actually just a microcosm of his season performance. So far this season, Bill has played 5 games for the Clippers, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, scoring only 7.4 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 1.6 turnovers. He shot 35.9% from the field, 33.3% from the three-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line. Many statistics have reached career lows.

After watching Bill's hip-stretching performance today, many people believe that the Clippers' season has ended early. Facts have proved that this team is really vulnerable once it is separated from Kaden! You must know that when the Clippers signed Bill, they expected him to be a perfect replacement for Bobby Kobe, but now he has given back to the team with such a hip-stretching performance. It is really hard to explain!

Look at Bobby Kobe, who is currently playing well in the Miami Heat. He averaged 23.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.2 blocks per game this season, shooting 46.4% from the field, 51.7% from the three-point range, and 94.9% from the free throw line.

How can Bradley Beal compare to Bobby Kobe? What can he do to fill the vacancy left by Bobby Kobe? There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Clippers paid wrongly for Bradley Beal after all, because he really lived up to all the expectations the Clippers had for him! This kind of Bill is not even worthy of occupying a starting spot in the Clippers, let alone replacing Bobby Kobe. What do you think about this?
