Boom 62+10+13! Durant Gordon went crazy, and the Suns traded to make a lot of money and aim for a championship
The NBA Western Conference is changing, with the defending champions Nuggets remaining first in the West (6-1), the Golden State Warriors 5-2, the Mavericks 4-1, the Clippers 3-2, the Lakers 3-3, and the Suns 3-4. The Phoenix Suns have been plagued by injuries since the start of the game, Beal and Devin Booker are both injured, Beal has not played a regular season game, Devin Booker has played two regular season games, averaging 31.5 points + 7.5 rebounds + 10.5 assists per game, shooting 58% from the field and 53.3% from three-point range, which is very exaggerated. If the Big Three of Durant + Beal + Booker fit together, how strong will the Suns' offense be? Boom 62+10+13! Durant Gordon went crazy, and the Suns traded to make a lot of money and aim for a championship.
Due to the absence of the two cores of Beal and Booker, the Suns now rely entirely on Durant to lead the team, and if they want to win, Durant and his teammates must break out together. During the Nets period, the Big Three of Durant + Harden + Irving also suffered injuries frequently, and Irving played part-time, which led to the breakup of the trio. In NBA games, injuries are also a part of it, and the Clippers have to suffer injuries every year in the playoffs. Now that the Suns are a big three, Durant must take on more pressure to lead the team, and only when Beal and Booker return healthy will Durant have a chance to relax. Now, the likes of Gordon, Nurkic and Grayson Allen have stepped up to help Durant lead the team to victory.
The Suns have played 7 games since the start of the season, narrowly defeated the Warriors in the opening game, lost to the Lakers, defeated the Jazz, lost two games in a row to the Spurs, defeated the 76ers, easily defeated the Pistons, and stopped the losing streak. In the game between the Suns and the Pistons, Durant blasted 41 points + 5 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 blocks + 1 steal, and Gordon efficiently cut 21 points + 5 rebounds + 8 assists + 1 steal, with a plus/minus of +23 (the highest in the game). Durant and Gordon went completely crazy, blasting 62 points + 10 rebounds + 13 assists, leading the Suns to a big win over their opponents. In the absence of Booker and Beal, Gordon stepped up and played the stats and performances of the All-Star giants to help KD lead the team to victory.
Gordon is really easy to use, since the Rockets period, Gordon is a well-known powerful player, and now at the age of 34, Gordon joined the Suns, I didn't expect him to be so strong. Gordon has played in seven regular season games with the Suns, and has scored 20+ in a single game three times, shooting 48% from the field, 37% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line. The Suns signed Gordon for only 2 years and $6 million, which is a very bloody signing, and Gordon is a perfect 3D master for Durant. Gordon can play both as a starter and as a substitute, with or without the ball, and is super applicable.
In addition, the Suns' new signings Nurkic and Grayson Allen have also played very well. Grayson Allen has 19 points + 7 rebounds + 3 assists + 1 block in a single game, 16 points + 2 rebounds + 4 assists in a single game, and 17 points + 4 rebounds + 3 assists + 2 steals in a single game. As a blue-collar center, Nurkic is better than Ayton in his ability to eat cakes, grab rebounds and defend the basket, with 14 points + 14 rebounds + 3 assists + 2 blocks in a single game, and 12 points + 12 rebounds + 4 assists + 1 steal + 2 blocks in a single game. Nurkic played more bloody than Ayton and defended more strongly.
The Suns have been very successful in trading and signing this summer, with new signings such as Beal, Gordon, Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Yuta Watanabe, Eubanks, and Diop all of them all playing for the Suns. Now Durant and Gordon are leading the team, stabilizing the team, and waiting for Beal and Booker to come back healthy. NBA Famer Shams reports that Beal expects to make a comeback next week. Hopefully, Booker and Beal can get rid of their injuries sooner and return early to help Durant lead the Suns to takeoff. NBA experts believe that as long as the trio of Durant, Booker and Beal remains healthy, the Suns' big three will still be strong. Health really matters!
