In the game between the Suns and the Nets on December 14, Beijing time, the Suns were sluggish on the offensive end and sparse on the defensive end, resulting in them being held by the Nets all the time, which is a regrettable situation. Even at critical moments, the Nets scored three points in a row, and the Suns made consecutive mistakes, and the Suns lost to the Nets 112-116.
And Booker and Durant still completed the explosion in the whole game. Among them, for Booker, he is also a two-way guard role. Especially in the second quarter, Booker actually scored 16 points in a single quarter. Booker scored 34 points on 9-of-15 shooting in the game, and his overall shooting percentage was very high. And Booker has 12 assists, and he's too dominant on the offensive end.
And Durant's point is also a big key. Because most of the time he was lazy, but in the final moments, it was Durant himself who scored consecutive points to help the team bite the score. After all, the Nets have been defending Durant alone for a while, which also allows him to seize the opportunity well. Durant scored 27 points on 9-of-18 shooting in the game, and the overall dominance was still very strong.
After Beal returned, his limitations were still relatively large. You have to know that his breakthrough can't get rid of defenders at all, and he doesn't make any free throws, he can't make any damage. Thankfully, his three-point shooting is okay, but it's still too little tactical help, and that's an area he has to pick up.
At the same time, the two supporting characters are also helping. Among them, 3 of the 8 in Metu got 8+4 data, and the performance in both games was good. Little got 10+7 on 4-of-7 shooting today, and he was the best player on the bench.
However, Nurkic is a mixed blessing. For the most part, he could protect the basket and scored 15+22 for the game. Unfortunately, the Nets were slow to catch Nurkic in the final moments, and they scored consecutive three-pointers, which also allowed the opponent to reopen the gap.
What's even more frustrating is that Goodwin's point has collapsed. He played well in the last game, but today Goodwin actually played crazy iron, 1 of 6 in the whole game, and he couldn't help on the defensive end, and the plus/minus of the whole game was actually the worst person on the team.
