After the game, the coaching staff held a review meeting about the match.
The new veteran coach, Paul Silas, asked, "Randy, Chip, has our consistency declined a lot compared to last season?"
Ingles responded, "Scoring from breakthroughs, defense, and stability have all declined. Even when we were not in good form last season, we could rely on breakthroughs and defense to ensure a relatively high level. Tonight, we lacked that. We were missing players who could threaten with their drives and cuts, and Emeka's scoring opportunities were reduced.
His colleagues nodded in agreement.
This involves a very "counterintuitive" point. People generally think that having many three-point shooters and creating space makes it easier for centers to score more points, but in reality, this situation is limited to only a few centers like Peak Yao and Shaq.
