On December 16, Beijing time, in the NBA regular season, the Suns lost 122-139 to the Knicks at home. It was the second game of the Big Three combined, but Beal played only half a quarter before going off with an injury. The Suns were in a stalemate with the opponent in the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter, they suddenly fell into a scoring drought and were attacked by the opponent 42-23, and the Knicks completed the turnover. The core player ratings are: 2 good, 6 passing, 3 incompetent.
1. 2 people in good file
Durant (8 points): Adu was in poor form in the first quarter, hitting just one mid-range jumper from five shots and diching out two assists. In the second quarter, Durant suddenly went berserk, shooting 5 of 7, hitting a counterattack three-pointer, two bottom corner three-pointers, an arc-top three-pointer and a mid-range pull-up jump shot, and scored 14 points in a single quarter to stage the Grim Reaper.
At halftime, Durant scored 17 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists to lead the Suns 68-63 over the Knicks. In the third quarter, Durant's offensive desire was slightly restrained, but he was very efficient, shooting 3-of-4 and hitting 3 mid-range jumpers, scoring 6 points and dishing out 3 assists.

In the whole game, Durant started the game for 35 minutes, shooting 10 of 21, cutting 29 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, with a plus/minus of -7. In this game, Durant was high-quality and efficient on the offensive end in the first three quarters, especially in the second quarter, but the fourth quarter suddenly became dumb, and the overall performance can be rated as good.

2. 6 people passed the file
Beal (7.5 points): Today was Beal's second game of his comeback, and he got off to a good start, hitting all 2 shots, including a counter-attack layup and a three-plus-one shot. But it was a bit of a disadvantage to play only 4 minutes to get off the field. In the whole game, Beal started the game for 4 minutes, made 2 of 2 shots, scored 6 points and 1 assist, and had a plus/minus of +3. Although he only played four minutes, Beal was in good form and performed as expected.

Booker (6.5 points): Booker had a mediocre hand in the first quarter, taking 8 shots, hitting a rebound layup and 2 mid-range jumpers, scoring 7 points and dished out 3 assists. In the second quarter, Booker was in a brave state, shooting all 3 from the field, hitting a mid-range jumper and two layups, scoring 7 points and sending 4 smart passes to assist his teammates to score.
At halftime, Booker had 14 points and seven assists. In the third quarter, Booker was on fire, shooting 4-of-7, hitting 3 mid-range pullup jumpers and 1 long-range three-pointer, scoring 11 points in a single quarter and delivering an assist to help the Suns maintain a slight lead.

In the whole game, Booker started the game for 36 minutes, made 11 of 26 shots, scored 28 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 turnovers, and had a plus/minus of -18. In this game, Booker also only played 3 good quarters, and his performance in the 4th quarter was obviously stretched, and his overall performance could only be rated as passing.
Goodwin (6.5): Three assists in the second quarter, a three-pointer from the bottom corner in the third quarter, and three smart passes to assist his teammates score. In the whole game, Goodwin played 23 minutes off the bench, made 1 of 5 shots, got 3 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 turnover, and had a plus/minus of -14. Goodwin's passing ability and positivity were eye-catching today, with an overall performance rating of passing.

In the whole game, Little played 25 minutes off the bench, made 2 of 5 shots, got 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and had a plus/minus of -5. In this campaign, Little's outside hand is acceptable, and his overall performance can be rated as passing.
3. 3 incompetent files:
Metu (3 points): Hit a layup in the second quarter. In the whole game, Metu played 9 minutes off the bench, made 1 of 3 shots, got 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 turnover, and had a plus/minus of -9. In this game, Metu's offensive efficiency was not good, and his defensive performance was not impressive, and his overall performance did not meet people's expectations.
Diop (3 points): Nothing but one rebound in the first half, grabbed only one rebound in the second half, and scored five points in garbage time. Diop played 13 minutes off the bench, shooting 2-of-5 from the field, finishing with 4 points and 3 rebounds, with a plus/minus of -13. Diop had no presence on the field today and his performance did not meet expectations.
Yuta Watanabe (2 points): In the whole game, Yuta Watanabe played 5 minutes off the bench and did not shoot, all the data were zero, and the plus/minus value was 0. In this battle, Yuta Watanabe's presence was extremely low, and the overall performance did not meet people's expectations.
It should be noted that the above ratings of players are based on the objective performance of the game, and there is no deliberate praise and malicious belittlement. Of course, we must pay enough respect to the Knicks' Bronson, who shot 17-of-23 from the field, scoring 50 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, almost single-handedly defeating the Suns.
So far, we have redefined the performance of the Suns' core players in this game, Durant and Allen performed well, Booker, Beal, Nurkic, Goodwin, Eubanks, and Little performed passing, and Metu, Yuta Watanabe, and Diop performed incompetently. It's a pity that the Suns' Big Three have been together for only 4 minutes and have been injured again. At present, the Suns have a record of 13 wins and 12 losses, only ranking tenth in the West, and the pressure on the record is still very high. The next game against the Suns is the Wizards, who will be hoping to seize the opportunity to end the losing streak and reverse the recent unfavorable situation.
