nba playoff competition continues. Suns , which is behind by a big score of 0-1, plays Timberwolves away from home. Compared with the frequent dark horses last season, this season seems to be dominated by "underdogs" in multiple matchups, but in fact the season Since the start of the playoffs, the home team has firmly controlled the advantage. Before the start of the Suns game, the home team had won all the playoffs that had already been played, and it was difficult for the visiting team to win.
The Suns started the away game in a very sluggish and slow manner. They couldn't score a point in the first three minutes. The Timberwolves made a dream start of 8-0. After the first quarter, the Timberwolves, who were in foul trouble, still led by 3 points.
html In the second quarter, the Timberwolves' offense failed, and the Suns took the lead in one breath. Fortunately, the Timberwolves' many surprise players emerged, and the Timberwolves chased the point difference to 1 point at the end of the half.changed sides and fought again. The Suns lost general Allen, and the Timberwolves took advantage of the situation to take the lead. The Suns habitually collapsed in the last quarter. In the end, the Timberwolves beat the Suns 105-93, leading the total score 2-0, and maintaining their home court advantage.
is also behind 0-2. The Suns' two consecutive losses to the Timberwolves are far less impressive than the Lakers loss to Nuggets . The latter can be said to have tried its best to lose even though it was an honor.
The Suns seemed disorganized and at a loss, especially Bill, Booker and Durant, who were once regarded as the league's top three offensive giants. The performance of the three was abysmal. Booker, the core of the
team, is the most prominent. He has been in a sluggish state since the final stage of the regular season. He was still sleepwalking until G2 in the playoffs.
Booker played for 41 and a half minutes, making 6 of 13 shots, and only 1 of 6 three-pointers. He scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals. It seemed good, but in fact he made 6 turnovers, plus 6 fouls. Defensively The end is like air, and the offensive end is at a loss.
's plus-minus value of -24 is tied with Durant for last place in the game.
As an offensive player, Booker was once one of the best scorers in the league, but his performance in the past two games was obviously substandard.
At the same time, Booker made a very dangerous move during the game. In the process of trying to steal, Booker lost his balance and threw himself directly into Edwards' leg.
Compared with Booker's sluggish state, what made Suns fans break their defense even more was Booker's behavior off the court.
Among them, a Suns fan named "immodsty" caught Booker listening to pornographic programs just before the start of the G2 Suns game against the Timberwolves.
Before the start of the G2 game, Suns fan immodsty discovered that Booker appeared in a live voice broadcast room, and the content of the live broadcast room was some adult-oriented "panting".
immodsty has been observing it, and discovered that Booker was still in this live broadcast room half an hour (6:45) before the start of the G2 game (7 o'clock).
As a Suns fan, immodsty broke the defense and posted a screenshot of Booker's behavior on social media with the text: "Is this my favorite star?"
What is quite interesting is that during the G2 game During the game, Timberwolves fans faced Booker who was sleepwalking in the audience and directly showed off mocking T-shirts, which can be described as murderous and heartbreaking.
In the interview after the G2 loss, Booker talked about the mentality he wanted to convey to Suns fans.
Booker said: "Never exclude us, you know, this is a series."
Durant on the side also gave a similar attitude. Durant said: "Damn it, don't give up now Us."
Although Durant and Booker had a tough attitude after the game and seemed confident, from the perspective of historical big data, it is extremely difficult for the Suns to come back after falling behind 0-2.
In the history of the 7-game 4-win series, the Suns have faced a 0-2 deficit 14 times before. The final result was 0 wins and 14 losses, and there is no record of completing a comeback.
In the history of the NBA, there have been a total of 449 times of being behind 0-2. The final result of the series for the team behind was 33 wins and 416 losses. The promotion probability is only a pitiful 7.3%. Compared with the poor promotion probability, the Suns' Big Three are terrible. The competitive status is even more worrying.
