Doncic set another record of 50+15, the Suns were in a slump, and Phoenix lost three in a row
The Christmas battle between the Suns and the Mavericks came as scheduled, although the suspension of Irving and Beal due to injuries made the conversation between the superstars of the two sides lack a certain sense of topicality. But Doncic's outstanding individual ability once made this Christmas battle lively again.
After the start, Doncic showed a very good personal feel and desire to play, on the other hand, the Suns felt cold, still did not come out of the recent downturn, in the case of Booker falling into the bag one after another, Durant was in a downturn, the Suns role players, did not respond, the Mavericks once turned away from home, and played on the road, the Suns did not have any effect on Doncic's package strategy, in the first quarter of the game, Doncic scored a double-double, and sent away 4 assists, the Suns' strategy can be described as full of loopholes, so that he drank all two bottles of poison at once。
Yibian fought again, the Suns woke up slightly, as the role players fired on the outside one after another, the Suns gradually regained some touch, Vogel after the failure of all the offensive lineups in the starters, but also put Metu and Azubuuk on the court, once relying on absolute height, bringing a certain sense of pressure to the Mavericks, and gradually changing the game.
But every time at the critical moment when the Suns are chasing points, Doncic's magical three-point shot can always give the Suns a fatal blow, so that the Suns' momentum of chasing points is in vain.
Chasing Mulles' record in the Christmas game showed the shooter's excellent shooting touch.
After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, Durant took the lead in firing a two-point shot, and after the Mavericks fouled Durant on a three-point shot, he also hit a solid three-point shot.
The team is also in a sluggish state after the main player, the role players gradually lose their shooting touch, and this dramatic game also ended in failure, Durant's performance at the last moment, almost giving up, also made it extremely different, as a superstar, Durant came in absent-mindedly, and cut 16 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, an extremely inefficient performance, but also became the culprit of the team's loss.
In this dramatic game, Booker and Grant Williams staged a brawl for a time, because when he made another layup before, Booker's defense of Grant Williams' head and face made the opponent extremely dissatisfied.
In the whole game, Doncic played brilliantly, not only had an excellent outside hand, shot 8 three-pointers, but also slashed 50 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists, becoming the first person to score 50+ in the Christmas War in the 21st century.
Durant in the face of the Trail Blazers after the loss, the state is extremely sluggish, in the face of the Mavericks, is still extremely inefficient, but also has no combat effectiveness at all, such a sluggish performance, very inconsistent with Durant's ball idiot character, this time, maybe there are contradictions and turmoil within the Suns again, if you don't adjust in time, there will be not much time left for Vogel. In the case of Durant's poor condition, Booker in trouble, and teammates unable to shoot, the team is also completely in trouble, and if Beal can't return in time, the Suns will disintegrate before they break into the playoffs. #2023 Creative Challenge# #Winter Life Check-in Season# #头条首发挑战赛#
