Sports Warm Winter Creation Season
The Suns lost to the Magic 98-113!
The Magic team is not the strong team in the East at the beginning of the season, and the current Magic team has fallen to eighth in the East.
The Magic team really never disappoints when it comes to playing badly.
Today's Suns, the Big Three played. It's just that Durant shot 7-of-12 and got 15 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. The shooting rate is indeed still above 50%, but such a number of shots, such a score on Durant, is obviously unqualified. You know, today is a milestone of 28,000 points in Durant's career. Looking at the entire NBA, there are only 10 players who can score 28,000 points. So, do you think Durant will be able to rise to the top of the scoring list at the end of his career? The few in front of him are Anthony's 28,289 points, O'Neal's 28,596 points, Chamberlain's 41,419 points, Nowitzki's 31,560 points, Jordan's 32,292 points, Kobe's 33,643 points, Malone's 36,923 points, Abdul-Jabbar's 38,387 points, and James' 39,704 points.
In addition to Durant, Beal, another core of the Suns, shot 4-of-13 and 0-of-5 from three-point range today, with only 9 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Beal and Booker combined for 0-of-8 shooting in the final quarter, and the Suns shot 5-of-18 in the final quarter, giving the Magic a 31-13 single-quarter scoring and a net loss of 18 points. You know, the sun is leading into the end, why can't it all of a sudden? According to statistics, the Suns scored a total of 155 more points in the final quarter of this season, which is the worst in the league. In second place in this statistic is the Heat, with 131 points, 24 fewer than the Suns. So what kind of last-quarter ability does the Suns have to make their opponents score so many points?
Booker finished with 44 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on 17-of-26 shooting and 9-of-11 free throws today. The efficiency is very high, the score is not low, but it can't be moved. So this 40+, it's really better not to take it. Counting the last game, Booker scored 40 points in two consecutive games, totaling 106 points, and lost both games. As a result, the top three teams in NBA history have scored total points during their two-game losing streak with the Suns. The first is Booker in 2019, who scored 109 points in two games, lost to the Wizards by 50 points and lost to the Jazz by 59 points; It was followed by Beal in 2020, with 108 points in two games, losing to the Bulls by 53 points, losing to the Bucks by 55 points, and finally the current Booker ......
In fact, to put it more closely, Booker in 2019 should have lost 3 consecutive games with 40+ teams, and after losing to the Wizards by 50 points, Booker scored 48 points and lost to the Grizzlies.
It seems like it's been a long time since DeRozan and Lowry saw a new pair of trash brothers. So, do Booker and Bill count? Except for the poor core play, the whole Suns team is basically out of shape. The team had 22 turnovers but only made four three-pointers. It's really hard to beat any team with this kind of performance. Even the Magic, who have the worst three-point attempt, is the Suns' opponent today, averaging 10 per game this season7 three-pointers.
As the schedule deepens, as the number of games Bill pulls his hip increases, the Suns should regret it quite a bit, right? It was a struggling period at the start of the season because there was no consistent attacking point and no well-organized players. So far this season, the Suns have averaged 26 per game4 assists, 13Nine turnovers, the assist-to-turnover ratio is by far the worst of any Eastern and Western playoff teams. Booker is the obvious main point guard for the Suns this season, but he is averaging 74 assists 2Eight turnovers weren't bad, but they sent Paul away averaging 89 assists 19 mistakes. Currently with the Warriors, averaging 72 assists 12 mistakes.
Moreover, to let Booker be in charge of the control and let him be responsible for scoring, the burden on him must be very large. So far this season he has averaged 28 per game2 points 74 assists 49 rebounds 09 steals, 1st on the team.
1. Score the first place in the team.
Second, the rebounds are third on the team. So now, what is the role of the Suns in trading for Beal? At the moment, Beal simply doesn't play the offensive efficiency that he is worth, let alone share the pressure for Booker and Durant. In addition, the Suns sent away multiple defensive players and their own defensive efficiency**. With no offensive back-up and defense dropping again, how far can the Suns go this season? Looking at it now, this deal for the Suns should be the most failed in the offseason.
