The Suns have been leaking lately, with Paul's thumb injury not yet returning, and another main rotation, Cameron Johnson, who has been injured again.
Speaking to An interview today about Cameron Johnson's injury, Monty said: "I've had a fracture before and I can't even lift my leg, let alone play NBA-level games, and that's where he is now. ”
Although Johnson's injuries were not as severe as his fractures, it was estimated that the injuries were not light if it was difficult to walk. Johnson has been absent since he finished playing the Knicks on March 5, and it's been 10 days now, and the situation is still just as bad.
So far, the Suns have not given Johnson a definitive recovery message, nor a definitive answer to when he will come back, simply by being out indefinitely.
Cameron Johnson's absence has a big impact on the Suns, this season Johnson appeared 60 times, averaging 12.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in 26.3 minutes per game, shooting 45% from three-point range, and averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game, which can be said to be both efficient and prolific.
Johnson's absence, the Sun bench scoring, defensive ability and even team morale, which are very metaphysical things, are missing a key link, after all, anyone who has watched the Suns game knows that Johnson is really passionate about playing.
This has to be said to go back to the game where Johnson was injured, playing the Knicks on March 5, when According to Monty, Johnson was hit in the thigh (right quadriceps contusion), and Johnson could still play due to adrenaline, but after the game, Johnson began to see that something was wrong.
In that game, Johnson shot 11 of 16, 9 of 12 three-pointers to get a career-high 38 points, and finally killed the Knicks with a super long-range whistle three-pointer, which can be said to play a career masterpiece.
Young people, the feel of the head may not even feel the pain, but afterwards it will definitely have to double the price.
To use an analogy, it's like when you were young, the Internet café stayed all night, and when you came out of the door in the morning, you were so tired that you could fall asleep standing.
Johnson that game can have a god under the ordinary performance, but also have to "thank" Randall, well, without Randall's stimulation, it is estimated that Johnson's combat effectiveness will not be so explosive.
In the first quarter of the game, Randall once knocked Johnson back into the locker room, and it is estimated that this conflict also buried the foreshadowing of the two people who were unhappy with each other and ready to fight.
Near the end of the third quarter, in a rebounding competition, Randall first elbowed the position, and then the two immediately began to quarrel and spray their faces, Randall kept shouting Johnson to single out, but Johnson did not respond.
In the end, Randall was expelled from the game and fined $50,000 afterwards, and Johnson was able to stay on the court because he did not take care of Randall.
It is precisely because of this conflict that the situation on the court was reversed, when the Knicks were 86-76 and 10 points ahead, but in the end they were suppressed by Johnson, losing and losing, it was simply murderous.
We can't count the number of times that Randall has lost the game because he is not calm on the team, not to mention that he hurt the team by playing the head iron, just this kind of emotion is out of control and does not calmly send free throws or even directly send himself away more than once or twice.
At present, the Knicks are 12th in the East with 28 wins and 40 losses, and they can't even get a qualifying spot, so the biggest problem is that Randall should not be refuted, right?
Not surprisingly, the Knicks will definitely try to send Randle away this summer, but can the four-year, $117 million contract signed last summer that officially went into effect this summer find a team to take over?
Very skeptical, high probability can't!
