98-113, the Suns were reversed by magic. The reason for the defeat was that in the process of being beaten 21-2 in 7 minutes, three details confirmed that too much chaos and too short behind would lead to disaster.
Durant 15+4+5, the Suns were reversed by the magic
1. Too chaotic.
Durant has the ability to support, Bill can also hold the ball, and Booker's organizational skills have improved sharply under Paul's guidance. However, none of the three is an orthodox organizational core and cannot organize the team in a clear-cut manner. Here are just three cases:
Durant made a mistake
At 10 minutes and 5 seconds of the last quarter, the Suns attacked. Durant's mid-range shot fixed the score at 92-89 and still led. Fultz assisted Wagner to score 2+1 and Durant held the ball and wanted to push. In the second half, as we saw, Isaac made a mistake.
Bill made a mistake
Bill took the ball to the frontcourt, but was unable to finish under Isaac's entanglement. He wanted to pass Durant directly and passed out of bounds.
Booker made a mistake
Booker caught the ball immediately and was interfered with for a three-pointer. After choosing to break through, he almost made a mistake under the entanglement of Wagner Jr., and finally regained the ball, but the return pass was passed directly to the sideline.
is as above, the epitome of the mistakes made by the three players in this game.
Durant, 5 assists and 7 turnovers; Bill, 6 assists and 4 turnovers; Booker, 3 assists and 4 turnovers. The three brothers made 15 turnovers, and the team made 22 turnovers. The Magic took advantage of the mistakes and won 21-8 by 13 points, which was one of the main reasons for the defeat.
2. Too short and unable to attack effectively.
Durant was the tallest in the decisive moment, but he did not have an absolute advantage compared with the Magic's long man Lin. Wagner, Benqueiro and Isaac were on the court at the same time, and Durant could not form a dislocation, so:
Durant's mid-range hit
Durant's previously unsolvable mid-range skills have also been hit hard due to poor touch, limited physical fitness, and the Magic's focus on marking.
The other two people, Booker and Bill, were even worse.
Bill was blocked.
Bill rushed to the basket and wanted to hit the mid-range, but Black blocked the block.
Saxam had two blocks in one round
Booker passed Little Wagner, but was blocked by Isaac. What is even more amazing is that Azubuike quickly made up for the dunk, but was blocked by Isaac twice. Hat refused.
Even if Nurkic is not absent, Vogel recently likes to put Durant in the five-small lineup at the fifth position. It is okay against ordinary teams, but it is not effective against the Magic. You must know that they are the only team in the league. There are four big teams and one small team, and this little Fultz is 193 centimeters tall, so he is not short.
Note that the consequences of being too short are not only poor offensive performance, but also a disaster on defense.
3. Too short and a disaster for defense.
Allen, Bill and Booker, when Vogel plays for three hours, he will be targeted infinitely by the Magic's tallness, three typical cases.
Wagner Jr. made a three-pointer
Banker hit Booker on his back, Durant could only come over to help defend, and Wagner Jr. caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
Banqueiro beat Booker
What if he didn't help defend? Banqueiro rolled over Booker and came to the paint area to eat directly.
This is not the worst part, the more disastrous consequences:
Banqueiro's tip-in made it 21-2 and the game ended
The Magic can shoot at will, but they failed to make it. Someone rushed to grab the offensive rebound and tip-in, Wagner, Aisa Gram and Banqueiro took off wantonly. In terms of the second offense, the Magic won 22-4 by 18 points, which was another important detail that enabled the reversal.
In the last 10 minutes and 5 seconds of the last quarter, the Suns still led 92-89; as of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, they were already 16 points behind 94-110. In 7 minutes, they were directly reversed by the Magic with a 21-2 climax. Especially in 7 minutes, there was no A sports game was scored. As mentioned above, there was no combing of the first position. The team's offense was too chaotic. Vogel's three small backcourt was too short. Not only was the offense restricted, but the defense was also a disaster. The three teams lost. The main reason.
