Hey, let's talk about that today, the twists and turns of the Suns for a while. I remember that the big guy Bill before, played a bad game in mid-December, and ended up taking a break for half a month. You said that this break is simply worse for the Suns. Because during this period, the Suns are swooping down in the Western Conference standings like skiing.
But, aha, you have to know that this slippery slope isn't just due to the lack of Big Bill. In terms of tactics and lineup configuration, the Suns are like lost children, and they can't find the north♂️ Especially that Durant, he began to be suspicious of his current style of play and configuration, and felt that the whole team was like a fly without a head.
By the way, when it comes to the Suns' weaknesses, you have to listen to them. This offseason, they replaced Paul with Beal, but they didn't seem to realize that the problem of "No. 1 position" was as serious as a traffic jam at high speed. After the start of the season, they are like a car without a steering wheel, always crashing at critical moments.
Later, coach Vogel did his best. first handed over the task of team organization to Booker, but Booker did this, and the effect was the same as a part-time job. Later, the coach changed his strategy and asked Durant to connect the whole team. And guess what? KD's performance is indeed better than Booker's, but you also know that this kind of performance can't happen every day, and the Suns can't always count on him.
At this time, Big Bill is back! Now, the Suns seem to have found a savior. In the game when Beal returned, the Suns were like two teams before. Facing the challenge of the Hornets, the Suns showed a new look. Although the score was not superior, Beal's presence forced the Hornets to disperse their defensive resources, and the Suns found space to attack.
Wow, speaking of Bill, although this guy only scored 6 points and handed out 7 assists in this game, his influence is simply an iceberg under a submarine, invisible but unfathomable. Durant and Booker are finally able to play comfortably because of Beal's return. Not only them, but role player Grayson Allen also played well, scoring more than 10 points in the first half.
Speaking of Nurkic, this guy has missed two games before due to injury, and he has also been mediocre since he returned. But in Beal's return, he was finally able to score easily on the inside, and became the second star of the Suns to score 20 points.
Let's finally make a controversial summary: Beal's comeback this time, although the data is mediocre, his return to the Suns is like a fresh spring in the desert. You say, is the Suns too reliant on Beal? Don't forget to stay tuned for updates to see how the Suns perform next!
