After the Suns lost to the Timberwolves, Booker had a showdown with the whole league and admitted a fact
The Suns have been in the midst of a major change since the offseason. With the goal of pursuing a championship, management did not hesitate to make a series of deals with the Wizards with Paul as the core, and finally formed a new big three of Beal, Booker and Durant. However, this change has not been smooth sailing, but has been full of challenges and reflections.
First, let's look at the composition of the Big Three. Beal, Booker and Durant are all very capable scorers, but they are all offensive players with the ball and lack pure guards. This has created an offensive dilemma for the team, and how to make the three-man attack together has become an urgent problem for the management to solve.
In the run-in between the preseason and the regular season, the Suns struggled to get Beal to adapt to the point guard position, but the results were not ideal. In the playoffs against opponents who are improving their level, Beal's passing routes are thoroughly studied by opponents, and offensive failures become a significant problem. This suggests that the management needs to re-examine the team's tactical arrangements and find a more effective way to attack.
Similarly, Durant faces challenges in the playoffs. thought that he would be able to turn on the "Grim Reaper" mode at a critical moment, but his performance was mediocre at a critical moment. This raised questions about him and made the management realise that the psychological qualities of the players and their ability to cope with pressure need to be taken into account when building a squad.
In addition to individual player performance, teamwork is also an aspect that the Suns need to pay attention to. The team's teamwork was inadequate at key moments, and the coaching staff struggled to find the balance of the Big Three. In the face of difficult situations, the team often fell into the cycle of superstar singles, and the lack of teamwork made the Suns fall into a passive situation in the series.
Amid the skepticism from the outside world, the Suns are also actively seeking solutions. Buckley and Lowe made their own suggestions. Barkley believes the Suns need a traditional guard who can tease out the offense, while Lowe suggested that Beal be used as a backup to lead the second team with Thomas Jr. to find a balance between the starting lineup and the bench.
In the face of many challenges and dilemmas, the management of the sun needs to assess the situation, analyze the problems in depth, and adjust the strategy in a timely manner. Only through continuous run-in and team effort can the Suns overcome difficulties and move towards greater glory.
Lakers lost to Nuggets 105-112 Player rating: 1 full score, 3 barely passed, 4 tumors
The Lakers suffered a miserable loss in the NBA playoffs, losing 105-112 at home to the Nuggets, which also put them behind 0-3 in the series. The result of this game was disappointing, but what was more worrying was the performance of the Lakers, especially on the offensive and defensive ends in crunch time.
When it comes to the Lakers, the performance of the thick eyebrows cannot be ignored. He finished with 33 points and 15 rebounds in the game, almost the Lakers' only bright spot. Bushy has had three consecutive games, but unfortunately, his individual ability has not been able to turn around the Lakers' woes because his teammates have not given him enough support.
In the Lakers, James has been one of the leaders of the team. Although he recorded 26 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, he still couldn't lead the team to victory. James faces both physical and defensive issues, both of which have severely constrained his performance on the court. Despite his best efforts, training three hours earlier to stay in shape, the end result was still disappointing.
Dinwiddie and Vincent excelled on the defensive end, especially for the Nuggets' star player Murray. However, they didn't play as well on the offensive end, which put pressure on the Lakers offensively.
However, some of the Lakers' players have performed quite poorly and have been called "cancers". Poolin's only one three-pointer in the game and the lack of substantial help on the defensive end played a negative role in the team. Rivers was brilliant in the last minute, but it was clearly in pursuit of the individual data rather than helping the team win.
Russell's performance was even more disappointing, as he didn't score points in key moments, which made the Lakers' offensive threat drop significantly. Hachimura had no rebounds and no defensive contributions in the game, and his plus/minus was the worst on the team, which was a huge problem for the team.
