11-7, fifth in the West Truth be told, the Suns were able to achieve that in the first phase of the season, despite the constant injuries. During this period, the Suns not only did not usher in the integration of the Big Three, but more often than not, they even only had Durant or Booker as the only core team leader, and they were able to achieve their current record in such a time. Once the Suns are in formation, there's no doubt that their ceiling is definitely in line with what fans expect. But, then again, healthy sunlight is terrible. The key is how to keep the sun healthy?The Suns announced Booker's playing status, and Durant was helpless, which is a vicious circle, and the Big Three is not the answer to the championship.
On the premise that the Big Three never appear together and the Suns only have one star who can stay healthy all the time, they can finish fifth in the West, which makes the Suns' full roster give fans unlimited room for imagination. But even so, the Suns are always in the fantasy stage, and while they have a full roster and there's still a lot of room for improvement, how to keep players healthy is a problem for the Suns. No, after Durant's comeback, Booker sprained his ankle again. Against the Raptors, Booker stepped on Schroder's foot several times and returned to the locker room several times. Although Booker fought to the end, in the latest injury report, the Suns officially announced that Booker entered the observation stage, and in the team's next game against the Nuggets, Booker's playing status is "doubtful".
After Booker's injury, more fans believe that the Suns should try to let Booker rest and play after the injury is fully recovered, although this will cause some turmoil to the team's record, but compared to the core players who are currently playing hard, stop and go, and continue into the second half of the season, just give the injured core members a chance to take turns and come back when their physical condition is a little better. Of course, the Suns' management and coaching staff may have their own considerations, and they don't want to get too serious after the first half of the season. However, with Booker's injury, the pressure on Durant has increased invisibly, and he may have to take on the responsibility of leading the team forward with the core.
You know, the current Durant is not a completely healthy Durant. Previously, he also suffered ankle pain, and Durant was out of action for two games before returning. I think Durant's return will take a little bit of pressure off Booker. Unexpectedly, Booker was injured unexpectedly again, and this time the pressure shifted from Booker to Durant. The Suns have suffered a ton of injuries that management, coaching staff, and fans don't want to see. However, although it was an accident, the injuries suffered by the Suns are actually traceable. Why haven't the core players of other teams suffered so many injuries and accidents?The root cause of the Suns is that Beal can't play for long.
The Suns are a team based on the Big Three. As soon as one of the stars has a physical problem, the other two cores will have to take on more responsibility, which will put a greater burden on them. How could an accident happen?Frankly speaking, if everyone is healthy and energetic, there will be no accidents, at least the possibility of accidents will be much less. When you walk on the pitch with a lot of energy, and when you walk on the pitch with a tired body, you're in a completely different state. Obviously, Beal's long-term absence is the beginning of a nightmare for the Suns. Booker and Durant have been injured in quick succession, and it's a vicious cycle. When one person falls, the stress on the other person increases. I'm sure a lot of Durant fans are hooked on it. Not interested in his basketball performance, the experience of using the internet is still very impressive.
Although Beal did not miss the game due to other problems like Irving, he gradually became the target of criticism from Suns fans, and many even believed that the Wizards concealed Beal's injury and decisively did not get the draft pick. Round 1. Based on this premise, we still take action to close the transaction. Even then, all this is certain, and the sun can only stay there. But from an observer's perspective, it seems that the top-three or even more core lineups are no longer the answer to championships, and the league has introduced various policies to suppress superteams, such as the Clippers and Suns. On the team side, it's average.
The Suns have put all their money on the Big Three, all their salaries on three stars, and once these three have physical problems, you don't expect players with base salaries to step up and take on the responsibilities given by the team. Giant. The impact must be withheld. If the star is not in good shape, no one else can stand up. This is a common problem with the Big Three. They have to ensure that there are no problems with the strength and health of the giants, and there must be a clear division of labor, which is not easy. At present, the health and condition of the Sun's triumvirate have ushered in a severe test.
