Beal announced his early comeback that Durant was running out of time, and the Suns were facing a challenge
In the last three years, at 20-21, he led the team to a championship on his ownIn the 21-22 season, the Warriors still won the championship, but they didn't add much. In the 22-23 season, the Nuggets also relied on Jokic's outstanding performance to win championships again and again, but none of the star players joined. All three championships came from a single team, which made everyone realize that they could win the championship even without teamwork. Even so, the NBA is still a fierce war during the holidays, the Suns Big Three, the Clippers Big Four, the Bucks Big Four, the Green Army Big Four, all have achieved good results, the Celtics have also achieved good results, but there are also some teams that have performed very badly, just like the Suns, and have become a joke in the entire NBA.
Before the new season, the Suns were hailed as the most promising team in the West to compete with the Nuggets, and Beal, Booker and Durant are all the top players in the NBA, and they can single out any player, even if they don't follow any tactics, they only need a stick to sweep 90% of opponents. But now, they only finished 15-15 in the playoffs, sitting in 10th place in the West, and if they are not careful, they will be eliminated this season. Last season, the Suns were the team that defeated Denver twice in the playoffs, and both Durant and Booker were all-rounders, and in the G3 game, they combined to score 86 points, which is very tough. And this summer, the Suns also made a bold decision, they signed Beal, Beal became an excellent point guard after Harden, which made the three superstars of the NBA even more dazzling. But even then, they had to complain.
Everyone knows that the Suns are Booker's home court, and Durant recognized Booker on his first day with the Suns. But it seems from some recent games that Booker has not taken on the responsibility of a team, and it is clear from his post-game speech that he has no intention of leading the team out of the difficult situation at all. After losing to the Mavericks on Christmas, Booker said both Durant and Gordon should be the team's leaders, while Booker was disappointed to say that their team is in disarray at the moment. So Booker had a conflict with the other party on the court and complained to his teammates, which is undoubtedly an act that adds fuel to the fire for the team.
The situation of the Suns also has a great impact on Durant, everyone knows that Durant is a very real person, as he said, when there is a problem, I will tell them, but sometimes, the more you talk, the more you say, the more you get wrong. Maybe this is also the reason why Durant has been in a bad mood lately, everyone feels his unhappiness, and defensively, he occasionally acts very passive, before beating the Rockets, he has lost three times in a row, a total of 18 defeats, which is rare in Durant's NBA history. The United States added fuel to the fire, saying that Durant was very dissatisfied with the Suns' current starting position. Even in the NBA, there are many reporters who have put forward proposals of 6 for 1 and 12 for 1 to get Durant. However, Durant became an excellent point guard in the game against Houston, he contributed 16 assists, led the team to 27 points and 10 rebounds, and led the team to victory!
To put it mildly, Bill is responsible for the fact that the sun has become what it is now. As a result, Beal has made six appearances for the Suns this season, averaging 14 points per game7 points 33 rebounds 32 assists, his scoring is also the worst in the league, and most importantly, Beal is not the best player in the NBA, but his contract is the best, which also means that if the Suns want to get him, they must go through his approval, otherwise, few teams will be willing to accept him. He's just signed a big contract, and he'll be able to sit back and relax for the rest of the day. Sources in the U.S. suggest that Beal is planning an early return due to the current crisis in the team and internal and external pressures, reminiscent of Durant's situation in Golden State last season.
The current problem of sunlight is to be dealt with by Bill, and Bill is required to do three things: to be in good health;He can give Durant and Booker free rein and he can't control the game. When the Suns abandoned Paul and signed Beal, they had already expected that all three of them would go it alone, and now, Beal is back, and Durant and Booker have joined their lineup, but they have performed badly, especially the three superstars, and there have been a lot of mistakes, and their cooperation is not good enough. On top of that, Beal and Booker are both players who need the ball, and they have to get the ball so that they get the most out of it. And with the Suns, all he has to do is shoot from the outside, and he has to make sure that he can't shoot at least 36%, otherwise the Suns will be in chaos. If the trio doesn't work out, then Durant will definitely go!So there's not much sunlight left!
