On March 21, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and today the Suns sat at home to welcome the challenge of the 76ers, before this game, the Suns lost to the Bucks, and they also fell to the eighth position in the West, and the team must win if they want to improve the ranking, and the 76ers have now fallen to sixth in the East, they also want to win to stop the decline, a vicious battle is inevitable, and then we will briefly talk about the game process, and then talk about the players' play.
Contest Recap:
At the beginning of the first quarter, Bamba scored 2 points to give the 76ers the lead, Grayson Allen responded with free throws, Oubre and Maxey played a wave of 7-0 climax, Durant and Booker combined for 6 points in response, and then the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the 76ers led by 2 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Grayson Allen started to work hard, and he hit three consecutive three-pointers to help the team play an offensive climax at the end of the quarter, and the Suns had a 14-point lead by halftime.
Yibian stopped the bleeding with Bamba's three-pointer, and with his help, the 76ers were once chased to only 10 points, but then Grayson Allen broke out again, and he scored 10 points in a single quarter, helping the team to lead by 25 points at the end of the third quarter. Seeing that the game had lost suspense, Nas did not struggle, he went directly to the main force, Vogel let the core play for a while, and saw that the overall situation had been decided before he made the start, and finally the Suns defeated the 76ers 115-102.
Booker played well
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, Durant's play in this game is decent, 10 of 18 shots in the game, 2 of 6 three-pointers got 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Durant's desire on the offensive end in this game is still not very good, but his attitude in the game has indeed changed, compared to the last game with no defensive attitude, this Durant sent 3 blocks, showing his leadership responsibilities, and his career total score exceeded O'Neal's.
Booker shot 7 of 15 from the field, 1 of 5 from three-point range, got 18 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals of the quasi-triple-double data, this season the Suns have been letting Booker play the backcourt, to be honest, the effect is not ideal, this is one of the few games that played better. Beal didn't contribute much on the offensive end this game, but he locked Maxey very well, which was also the key to the team's victory, and Beal scored 3 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists on 1-of-6 shooting in this game.
Grayson Allen continued his excellent play in the past few games, when the Bucks sent him away as a garbage contract, it is estimated that he regrets it now, this game Allen shot 10 of 17 from the field, 9 of 15 three-pointers got 32 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, he has hit 9+ three-pointers in a single game 3 times this season, second only to Curry, ranking second in the league. Nurkic scored 10 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the game, and his rebounding protection was indeed excellent.
In addition, Royce O'Neal had 13 points and four rebounds off the bench, Bol Bol had 10 points and three rebounds, and Thomas Jr. had one assist in garbage time. Winning this game was a relief for the Suns, who are now close to the Mavericks, who are seventh in the West.
Maxey played badly, and the 76ers lost both big trades
Maxey got 6 points and 7 assists on 3-of-13 shooting in this game, although Maxey scored an All-Star this season, friends who often follow the 76ers game should be able to find that after Embiid's injury, Maxey's performance is not as stable as before, and he plays more like a nerve knife like Poole, but Maxey is only in the fourth year of his career, and he is only 23 years old, and I believe that there will be changes in the future, after all, he is not very comfortable with the opponent's defense.
The 76ers played the best in this game is Oubre, he got 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists on 7-of-20 shooting, friends who often pay attention to the 76ers should be able to play, now after the injury of the Great, the 76ers are almost no longer capable of scoring, they have not scored more than 110 points in 9 consecutive games, the team seems to have lost all the two big deals made before, let's talk about the Harden trade first, they sent Harden to get Morris Jr., Covington, Batum, Martin Jr. and draft picks.
As a result, now Xiao Mo was sent away, Covington recuperated from injury, Batum only got 8 points and 3 rebounds on 3 of 4 shots in this game, although it is quite efficient, but his scoring ability is at this level, it is almost impossible to cut 20+, before they used Xiao Mo, Colmakz and three second-round picks to get Hield, Hield's level shooter should be able to help them, right?
Hield got 7 points and 2 rebounds on 3 of 8 shots in this game, after joining, although Hield averaged 14 points per game, but most of them were his high scores in the face of weak teams, and he played very badly in the face of strong teams, and the two operations can be said to be losses, and now the 76ers can only rely on the return of the Emperor if they want to play a record, according to American media reports, the Emperor should return in April, and after today's loss, the 76ers have fallen to eighth in the East!
Will they be able to get out of the play-offs? I think it's going to be difficult.
