SunsAfter losing to the Trail Blazers on the road, the record can only stay at 14-13 and still rank 10th in the West. Their opponents, the Warriors, are already closing in on the Suns with a winning streak, with only 10 wins. Due to injury issues, the Suns' recent form has been nothing short of distressing. Considering that Beal, the key man on the team, still needs to recover, the Suns' predicament seems doomed. The Suns have lost three of their last four games and were reversed on the road by the Trail Blazers, who are second to last in the West, which is completely unacceptable. The Suns didn't perform well on the offensive end either, exceptDurantNone of the other players played as well as they should. With Beal sidelined due to injury, the Suns' overall strength has been rather passive, and their defense has become weak. The inefficiency of the offense puts the Suns in a tough battle no matter who they face. And in this defeat,SunsThe core defender in the centerDevin BookerConsidered the person who should be most responsible for the results. Although he contributed 26 points, three rebounds and seven assists in the game, he hit just 11 of 25 shots and made 1-of-5 three-pointers, which can be described as inefficient. And his plus/minus on the field also shows problems, the gameSunsThe counterattack began, but the plus/minus dropped to -9. After this loss,BookerQuestionable. And it's not just thatBookerThe performance in this game was a problem, and his overall performance was not satisfactory for some time. The last three games,BookerWith 26, 27 and 28 points respectively, but his 25, 24 and 26 shots were taken from the spot, it can be seen that he still has not broken the habit of data brushing, focusing only on scoring and ignoring efficiency. BookerThis season's average per game is 281 point, 56 rebounds and 82 assists, both of which are career highs for him. However, for some concernsSunsThe phrase "data deceives" seems to be getting more and more true. BookerThe numbers are impressive, but they don't reflect his progress in the organization. With Paul's departure, fans found outOrganizational skillsAnd it's not just the numbers that tell the storyBookeris the best example of this. SunsNone of the Big Three are up to the task of this organizer and want to succeedSunsSomeone has to be able to transform. AsSunsOne of the cores,BookerVolunteered for this task, but the results were disappointing. Instead of improving his playmaking skills, he abandoned his efficient attacking style. BookerThe performance was worrying, and he lost the fig leaf that Paul had been. InHardenWhen it comes to slippingBookerOnce regarded as the league's top shooting guard, it now appears that there is a clear gap between him and the superstar. The Sun has serious problems, and the lack of organizers can cause them a lot of trouble. InHardenBefore joining the Nets,DurantThe duo with Irving also had a mediocre record at the start of the season, and they were only playing in the East at the time. Now in the fierce competition in the west,DurantAlso in trouble again. This time, the sun can no longer count on the imageHardenThat's the kind of player to save their record. On the one hand, Beal is still recovering, and on the other hand, even if he returns, he will only be able to add a player to the Suns who can handle the ball alone. It can be said thatDurantAgain, misjudgement. After leaving the Warriors, he looked for Irving andBookerIt's all the same type of defender. AlthoughBookerNot as many off-field issues as Irving, but in terms of efficiency and abilityBookerNot necessarily better than Owen. DurantandBookerdidn't have the perfect team configuration when he left the WarriorsSunsWithout Paul, with a single tactic and a lack of defensive resources, it is not easy to compete for a championship.
SunsAnother setback against the Trail Blazers and a struggling record. Injury problems have left them lacking a consistent squad and a core playerDevin BookerThe performance also failed to support the team. SunsIn the absence of playmakers, both offense and defense are bogged down. At the same time,DurantSelect withBookerThe partner's decision also did not have the desired effect. Looking back at the whole situation,BookerHe did not take due responsibility for the role of the core of the leader, and his performance was not efficientOrganizational skillsIt also shows shortcomings. SunsThere are still enormous challenges on the road to success. To succeed in the competitive West,SunsSomeone needs to be able to take on the role of playmaker, and every player needs to improve their own performance. Otherwise,SunsIt is likely to fall out of the top 10 in the West and lose the chance to qualify for the play-offs. DurantwithBookerThe combination also needs to be re-evaluated, and they can't give without PaulSunsBring enough advantages. Right now,SunsDilemmas need to be confronted and solutions to be found, or their transformation failures will be hindered.
