After swallowing three consecutive defeats, the Washington Wizards, who are in desperate need of a victory, will return to the road and will have a head-to-head match with the powerful Suns.
In terms of the Wizards, although Bill + Kuzma is ready to go, but the core guard Dinwiddie is absent, this game lacks the "main bone" of the Wizards, and it is inevitable that there will be some pressure in the road game.
On the other hand, on the Side of the Suns, Booker hangs a free card, and the Suns want to defend the home field, paul + Ayton + Bridges three cores, obviously need to play!
Finally, after four quarters of competition, the away Wizards, although with Beal's excellent performance, in the first half, can still play with the Suns without falling behind.
However, after returning from the second half, facing the Suns' offensive attack in the third quarter, the Wizards collapsed completely, and the point difference was once stretched by as many as 20 points.
Coupled with the final final battle moment, the Suns held the score advantage steadily, and the Wizards, who finally failed to chase the points, also defeated the Suns 98-118 on the road, swallowing 4 consecutive wins at the same time, but also gave the opponent the Suns 2 consecutive wins!
This game rushed to the away, although the Wizards played a tenacious performance of 5 people scoring doubles, but the team was eventually defeated by 20 points, and the performance of the game of drinking and hating the away game of swallowing 4 consecutive defeats obviously needs to be examined.
As the team's star, although Beal played well, the whole game cut the full performance of 26 +3 +5 +1, but in the face of the sun team with all the soldiers, Bill is still a bit difficult to support!
Of course, as a young core who has high expectations from the team's management, Kuzma's performance in this campaign is also somewhat unsatisfactory.
Kuzma was very sluggish in this game, starting 25 minutes, 6 shots 2 of 2 poor hand, outside three-point shots is 2 shots 0 hits to lose the crosshairs, the whole game only got 4 points + 3 rebounds + 3 assists.
In addition, Kuzma's positive and negative value in this game fell to -33, almost without exaggeration, Kuzma has seen a visible decline in both offensive and defensive ends!
Rationally speaking, although the Wizards did bring us a lot of surprises at the beginning of the season, with the advancement of the schedule, the Wizards' disadvantages in terms of pressure resistance and core competitiveness have gradually been revealed.
As for the Wizards, who have fallen to 7th in the East after the return of team commander Dinwiddie and two big players Bryant + Hachimura, in terms of overall competitive status, whether they can recover, we seem to have to wait and see!
On the other hand, the Suns side, the game returned to the home, the Suns took advantage of the chase to win 2 consecutive wins, played 8 people to score in double-doubles team performance, it is indeed eye-catching.
In the case of the two cores of Paul + Ayton, each performing its own duties, the play of several helpers, especially the performance of the team's substitute center McGee, can be described as a crucial role!
Against the Wizards in this game, McGee played an efficient offensive and defensive performance, playing 14 minutes off the bench, and easily cut down an all-around performance of 17 points, 8 rebounds , 2 assists + 2 steals.
Not only did he play his own advantage on the offensive end, but he also became a difficult existence for the Wizards to solve, and made a great contribution to the Suns' big victory!
Combined with McGee's joining the Suns and the performance of the game so far this season, it has to be said that the Suns can sign the championship center in the offseason, which is indeed a very cost-effective reinforcement and reinforcement.
More importantly, after winning two consecutive games at home against the Wizards in this game, the Suns' current regular season record has also come to 23 wins and 5 losses, successfully equalizing the Warriors, who ranked No. 1 in the West.
And what we have to admit is that considering the momentum of the Suns at this stage, in the goal of surpassing the Warriors and impacting the 1st throne in the West, the energetic Suns do have a lot of opportunities!
