The sun knelt again, and the ranking slipped to eighth: hit the south wall and didn't look back

It was also back-to-back, with an angry Sun who came to the home court of the Rockets, thinking that it was "the giant beating the declining boy to export evil anger", but unexpectedly, the two poles of the script were reversed, and it evolved into "the mourning soldiers will win and bottom out". That's right, the Suns are on their knees again, and the ranking has slipped to eighth in the West.

After the game, it is a traditional art to hold a meeting regardless of the wins and losses, and the sun, as the loser, has to hold a meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to divide the blame, and the spearhead was pointed at Vogel, and some radical local veterans threatened to use American-style Harmony to kill the head coach. is also a traditional art, if you lose, you can first bring out the coach for criticism, but it will be better to kill the coach?

Apparently not.

However, the onlooker Qing, who has been out of work for a year, recommended himself, saying, "The Suns should sign me, they need a pure point guard, and at the moment Bull Beal is a cameo point guard, but they should be focused on scoring, not trying to please the guys around them." This really gets to the point, the problem of the sun, or the dilemma it faces, is always the same sentence that has been mentioned repeatedly before:

The Sun doesn't have a full-time number one.

What is the value of the number one position? The value of the number one position is not only to organize the team's attack, but also to control the tempo of the game. There is such a scene in "Slam Dunk": the author Inoue Yuhiko obviously blew Fukatsu as the country's leading ace point guard, but the rhythm was chaotic in the crazy pursuit stage of Xiangbei, which eventually led to the defeat of the Mountain King. Of course, this belongs to the plot killing, if Fukatsu doesn't go undercover to play abstraction, where does the protagonist Xiangbei come from defeating to win? But the same case appeared in the previous Xiangbei vs. Fengyu game, in the face of Fengyu's quick push and run, Coach Anzai's countermeasure is to let Yasuda play a slow offensive position, so as not to let his side be led by the nose. As a result, Xiangbei successfully pulled the game back to the positional mode from the bombardment.

Japanese high school students understand the truth, but the sun can't figure it out. In the first quarter, the sun was obviously in a good situation and pressed the rocket to the ground and rubbed it, but in the second quarter, he was beaten to the point that he vomited blood and spit it back. Playing track and field, the Rockets are still scared of the young people, and by the way, they forced out a series of mistakes from the Suns through high-pressure defense. From Okogie to Durant to Gordon, a single quarter has swiped out a bunch of nonsense.

At the end of the quarter, seeing that they were still behind, they were anxious, and the two main attackers began to come hard. It must be admitted that Durant Booker relied on his individual ability to create a lot of easy scoring opportunities for Bol Bol, but he couldn't break the Rockets. Having said that, the last quarter of this game has shown a trend of pursuit, so what is the Suns' biggest specialty this season?

The stubble collapsed.

From the field data to the real record, without exception, it has been repeatedly confirmed that the Suns' lineup has shortcomings. The question then becomes: why not try to get a point guard over before the transfer trade deadline?

Is there no bargaining chip, maybe. But the Suns are obviously making a dojo in a snail shell and getting Royce O'Neale from the Nets. Since there is still a squeeze, why not try to win over the Wizards' Tylus Jones, first, because the price is negotiable, and second, he is the candidate that the Suns desperately need. However, the management is the head iron, that is, it does not want the No. 1 position, but believes that Booker or Beal, or even Durant can each contribute and share the role that should belong to the point guard.

Please, being able to pass the ball and give assists is completely different from knowing how to control the pace of the game. It's like Durant's second brother has double-doubles in assists year after year, but few people think he is an excellent No. 1 position. In light of this, when the opportunity arose to get a boarder, the Clippers chose not to hesitate. Looking at the Suns again, there was no movement after sending Paul away last offseason, and there was still no movement before the transfer trade deadline. It's as if the logic of the whole game is "I have some of the best singles players in the league, why be afraid?"

Not every powerful quarterback can successfully transform, and the same league No. 1 SG in different eras, Booker can do what Dengzi can't do. It's not that you don't want to, but you can't.

So the current situation is that Durant and Booker are tired and tired, and they haven't had a good result. Durant has played in 50 games this season, an unprecedented attendance in nearly three years, and Booker has played 49 games, the most minutes in nearly three years. Looking back on the past two years, the majority of the Suns have either buried the old guns, old age and physical decay and injuries, or angrily denounced the useless pure waste wood, but no matter what the Suns' regular season record has always been strong. Top in the West in the 21-22 season and fourth in the West in the 22-23 season. Now that there are no brothers, they will directly fall to the eighth place in the west, how can this be explained?

It's not appropriate to put all the pot on Bill, even if the buddy has more injuries and has more than 30 games, the question arises: when the Big Three are all there, the solar energy can make the game all kinds of smooth, the offense is like mercury, is it easy to win?

I think it's still a bit empty.

There is a saying that if you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back, and what is very puzzling is that the sun doesn't look back if you hit the south wall. Knowing that the team was missing the No. 1 position, he went to make up for a 3D, a headache, and an egg. Royce O'Neal, who worked so hard before the trade deadline, took a dive when he first arrived, shooting from 38.8 to 33.3 percent per game and 36.6 percent from three-point range to 32 percent. In the past, there were Dinwiddie and Simmons in the Nets, and they didn't even have these two when they changed their doors and joined the new unit, all pointing to the big guy who had a match and no match, how could they get it?

It's actually useless to talk about these now, it's noon and Xiao Hua calls you home to wash and sleep. Either seriously consider Wal's suggestion to take this one over as a dead horse and try it, or grit your teeth and try to see if you can knock through the south wall. For the Suns, who have been studded twice in a year, the team's goal this season is only to compete for the championship, that is, the lowest and lowest must also reach the Western Conference finals, otherwise it will be a failure. So with the reality of the Suns, what is the probability that they will complete the goal, what is the probability of completing the minimum goal, and what is the probability that Durant will submit a transfer application after being angry and even making more outrageous jokes if they can't achieve it?

In the distance, Oklairon Ridge may be paying close attention to everything here.
