First, the Suns started the game with a 16-point lead.
As soon as the game started, the Suns got into the groove, and Durant took the lead and scored several points in a row to help the team take the lead. This guy has been feeling hot lately, and he almost wants to vote. Then teammate Booker also began to attack, and the outside three-pointers, inside breakthroughs and other things came, directly helping the Suns pull out a wave of 18-8 offensive.
The Blazers were completely confused at this moment, and the opposite side threw their faces black one by one, and their own side was completely weak in attack. But fortunately, captain Nurkic stepped up in time to resolve the crisis and helped the team stop the bleeding several times in a row. In this way, you and I fought back and forth for a while, and at the end of the day, the Suns still led the opponent by 16 points 36-20, and they had a clear advantage at the beginning.
Second, the pioneers have caught up and surpassed several times.
Yibian fought again, and the Trailblazers finally adapted to the rhythm and began to fight back. Laird has rebounded in form after many days, scoring three-pointers one after another. The other teammates also lived up to the captain's trust, you and I took turns to shoot, and soon chased the difference to only 2 points, and the momentum was like a rainbow!
The Suns were suddenly in a hurry, Durant and Booker were confused, why did they lose such a big advantage just now?So the two hurriedly added points again, barely maintaining the lead, and the Suns led by 12 points at 61-49 before halftime.
The second half was even more miserable. As soon as the Trail Blazers came up, they launched a crazy counterattack, and directly chased the score to a tie with a wave of 19-3 offensive!Simmons was on fire, hitting three-pointers one after another, and other teammates were also shooting. Anyway, this guy has rebounded a lot recently, otherwise he wouldn't have lost 7 games in a row before.
The Suns completely collapsed and didn't score 1 point for 5 minutes!Losing the handsome guy Du at the critical moment hurt his vitality again. In the end, the Trail Blazers overtook the score, leading the Suns by six points at 87-81 after the third quarter.
Third, the Suns fought back again but lost to Simmons by three points.
In the final quarter of the game, the two sides started a life-and-death contest, which is really indistinguishable!
On the Suns' side, Durant fought back and scored more than 10 points alone, once chasing the score to only 3 points, threatening the victory of the Trail Blazers. Who knew that Simmons was an iron man, and he made the winning three-pointer at the critical moment, which directly reversed the outcome of the outcome!
Anyway, the timing of this three-point goal is really dramatic, and the score is deadlocked in the last 1 minute, and everyone is anxiously waiting for the end. At this time, Simmons threw a fatal blow, and it was too late for the Suns to fight back again.
In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Suns 109-104, ending the recent seven-game losing streak
Fourth, there were too many mistakes, and the rest of the teammates except Dub did not perform well.
This defeat is still a big blow to the Suns, after all, the beginning of the establishment of such a big advantage, the result is still overturned. Examining the game data, it is not difficult to find that the biggest problem of the Suns in this game is that they rely too much on Durant and Booker.
These two handsome guys scored 66 points in the game, which is two-thirds of the total points. There was a serious lack of support from other teammates, and many opportunities were wasted. Especially at critical moments, mistakes are frequent, and there have been cases of losing 7 points in a row.
On the other hand, the Trail Blazers' score is very balanced, with Simmons, Grant and many others performing well. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Trail Blazers also have significantly more rebounds and assists than their opponents. It can be said that the overall cooperation is better, and the big reversal can be completed in the end.
The output is too dependent on the individual, and this is probably a problem that the Sun needs to solve urgently. When Durant and Booker are limited on offense, it's easy to fall into a scoring drought. If you can't increase the support of your teammates as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach the finals with many strong teams in the West.
Should Durant consider leaving the Suns and looking for a stronger team?After all, this guy is not young anymore, and it is really hard to say how long the championship dream can last.
