Empty slash 44 4! Banchero hammered the Suns, and Durant was depressed after the game
In today's NBA regular season, the Suns lost to Orlando 98-113, which can be described as a twist and turn, the Suns led by 11 points in the first quarter, and the Magic still held the initiative in the second quarter, although they had the advantage. Durant, on the other hand, had fifteen points, four rebounds, five assists, and seven errors, Beal's nine, five, five rebounds, and four errors, and Allen had eight and five boards, one with four and four, one with four, and two with four.
The Suns are really strange, the overall level of the Magic team is only a medium level in the league, although they have a big advantage in the first quarter, but in the next three quarters, they were completely suppressed by Orlando, especially in the last quarter, the Suns did not score any goals for eight consecutive minutes, during this time, none of the three of them shot, after all, the Suns are a pure offensive team, although Booker can't get points, but they have Durant, and the "god of death" is gone. Judging from the whole game, they made too many mistakes, a total of 22, including 7 for Durant, just like in the third quarter, when the Suns were on offense, they made mistakes in three games, which annoyed Vogel.
But in the second half, the Suns players still didn't recover from their exhaustion, they didn't score, they made a lot of mistakes, and they didn't look like a strong team. The second reason for the defeat is that they did not help Banchero in any way, although Banchero is a rookie, but there is no doubt that he is very strong, but in the final game, Banchero showed an inexplicable jump shot and throw, which made Durant stunned, it is clear that death does not mean to defend, his eyes and pace have not kept up at all, as the commentator said, Durant is now only thinking about how to get rid of the Suns, and he has no energy to play at all.
The third mistake is because the Suns' style of play is too single, Booker is alone, 21 points in the first half, 21 points in the third quarter, Booker played very devotedly, but the Suns never won the victory, in the last game, Booker scored 62 points alone, I don't understand what Vogel is thinking, Booker is very effective in cutting high scores, but he can't suppress the opponent's defense, and he can't reverse the opponent's defense, Booker performed very beautifully when he was heads-up, but he was recognized by the other party, For example, when the Clippers played against the Green Army, Leonard trained both of the top picks, and he was constantly changing his defense, which Booker couldn't do. And Booker's defense is already weak, even if he can score more points, he can let the opponent catch up.
If you want to rely on Booker to win the game with high scores, it is impossible, and he has lost to the Pacers and the Magic, and has been replaced by a strong team. In the end, it was Durant who led to the defeat, he was lazy before the game started, and he didn't have any offensive intention at all, only Booker was defending, in the third quarter, Durant finally scored, but in the final quarter, he was gone, not because he was in bad shape, in fact, 7 of 12 deaths, Durant didn't mean to shoot, and he also said that he made seven mistakes, maybe Durant has given up, since he knows that he can't win the championship, what else to play? Let's let Booker take the points himself.
At the end of the day, it's all because the Suns don't have a ball-handling defender, which is also the team's weakness, Vogel once tried to let Booker play the ball, but he refused, Booker only wanted to score, which made it difficult for Vogel to understand, he really thought of himself as Harden or Westbrook, not everyone had to pay, which is the biggest difference between them and the Clippers. Durant looked disappointed at a press conference after the game, and when talking about the defeat, he said, "No matter how Booker shoots, we can't win, and we make so many mistakes, if that's the case, we won't be able to win this game." ”
This is very clear, Durant has lost his fighting spirit, he feels that Booker scores more and it is impossible to win the game, at this time, Durant may miss Paul, you can imagine, if Paul is there, then the Suns' heads-up ability will be greatly reduced, and Beal looks small, but he is a scoring master like Booker, and if he joins him, then the Suns will become more independent, and in terms of value, it is not as good as Paul.
Even if he wants to exchange Paul, he won't put Bill first, the three big players play the same style, they are all three scoring machines, and the styles of both of them are very similar, so they can only rely on the three superstars, or Allen and Gordon, to stand out, but think about it, Paul is really good, Durant will definitely be happy to bring Paul back, and on the other hand, if Durant can convince the team's top management to keep Paul on the Suns, then the Suns will not come to this point, You can even persuade the team to go to Harden, and with the strength of his team, it is not difficult to rebuild the Suns. Speaking about Durant's performance, Bryant said, "It's my fault, I made a mistake at the start, and that mistake is going to have a big impact on my team, and they're going to make mistakes with me. ”
