The Lakers face the Suns at home, hoping to continue their winning streak while yearning to stop their decline. The direct collision between James and Durant has become the focus of today's Angel City. However, the competition between the two sides showed a one-sided momentum as early as the beginning stage. With a healthy trio, the Suns have a clear singles strategy that has caused the Lakers to complain incessantly.
In order to pursue better projection space, Ham had to reduce the time of Redish, who was leaning towards defense, and put Reeves, Russell, and Christie in the backcourt position. However, once they enter the defensive end of positional warfare, the above three players are no different from live targets for the Sun Three giants, and are infinitely singled out.
As the ultimate weapon in the Suns lineup, Durant doesn't seem to need too much effort in this game. After playing for 32 minutes in this game, he only made 12 shots, hit 7 goals, and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. In the first quarter of the game, Booker was the first to enter a crazy single kill mode. After playing for 12 minutes, he made 6 out of 10 shots and scored 16 points, helping the Suns establish a double-digit lead.
In the third quarter of the game, Bill took over completely, whether it was mid range kills or outside dribbles. With his fiery form, he was completely unable to be restricted or blocked. In 12 minutes, Bill output 20 points crazily, pushing the Suns' lead to over 30 points at one point. In this game, Bill made 14 out of 21 shots and 8 out of 10 shots in 32 minutes, earning his season high 37 points, as well as 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
Bill's three-point shooting percentage is good today. I know he has the ability to throw 10 three-point shots in a game, and I would ask him to do so. He can score in various ways. Bill is getting more and more accustomed now. He used to rest for a long time, so it usually takes a few weeks to truly recover his form and adapt to the rhythm, especially in a new team. But as he gets more and more accustomed, he will become more and more Comfortable. Today is his best night Vogel said.
Bill completely went berserk, and Booker also showed his skills and scored 31 points. With the three giants taking over the game, the Lakers were hit hard and surrendered early in the fourth quarter as a substitute. Looking back at the first three encounters between the two sides this season, the Phoenix Suns have never played in unison. With a total of 86 points in this game, they finally demonstrated terrifying offensive firepower. According to statistics, this is the seventh game of the season for the Suns to score 125+points, and the team's record in these games is 7 wins and 0 losses.
Compared to the stable Durant and Booker, Bill, who has been plagued by frequent injuries this season, has become the biggest unstable factor. However, as his injury improved, Bill has gradually adjusted his competitive form. In his last 7 games, Bill has averaged 22.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game, with three shooting percentages of 54%, 40%, and 87%, respectively. This super scorer, who is regarded as the ultimate puzzle of Phoenix's championship, has finally regained his sharpness.
"For the past 5 seasons, I have been working hard to make 8 to 10 three pointers in a game. My training team and I have been practicing three pointers and working hard to find a good shooting form. Today, I am very confident when shooting three pointers, and once the ball is in my hand, I am working hard to get it in," Bill said.
After winning this game, the Suns temporarily ranked eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 20 wins and 18 losses, with a disadvantage of 2.5 wins compared to the lone rangers in front of them. As long as Bill's form is online and the three giants maintain the league's top offensive firepower, the Suns will have the ability to sound the horn of counterattack in the second half of the regular season.
