The Warriors lost to the Pelicans due to Curry's rotation, which allowed the Suns to reach the top of the league's record list effortlessly. And in the face of the Heat, because the other side lacks Butler, and the Suns are all in the game, this is their best chance to expand the difference in the Warriors' win, but in the face of such Heat, the Suns are suppressed throughout the game, except for the third quarter to win points, the other quarters all lost points, such a performance also allowed the Suns to give up the first place in the record.
The Suns' best performance in this game was undoubtedly Booker, who had 26 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the whole game, the other two giants Paul had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, and Ayton had 12 points and 8 rebounds. Paul is old after all, even if the state has ups and downs, but he can always connect the team on the pitch, but as a young man, Ayton, the whole game only has such a pitiful performance, and the plus-minus is -23, which can be said to be quite depressed. And with only 5 shots, and only such a number of shots in the case of a very high shooting rate, Ayton is really no aggression at all.
This season's Ayton has improved compared to last season, and the average points per game has now reached 17 points, but he always feels that he is missing something. Now Ayton playing gives people a soft feeling, and in today's game with the Heat, the Heat's small guards like Dunro and Hiro can bully him, and the deterrent power of the top interior line last season has disappeared. With Ayton's performance, it's no wonder that the Suns are reluctant to give him a maximum salary contract. However, Ayton's game has just come out of the health agreement, probably because of the long distance between the battle and the reason why the body has not been fully moved, which is why this game is so soft.
If it is true that Ayton does not contribute because the team does not give big contracts, then the negative impact will be greater for himself. Ayton's talent is definitely there, but he definitely shouldn't be like this, averaging 18.2 points and 11.5 rebounds per game in the second year of his career, it is impossible to decline in stats year by year, right? Now that he is only 23 years old, he gives a feeling of no desire and no desire, and it seems that he is not working hard for the championship.
The Suns must have played 25 games so far this season, not even as high as Paul's attendance, and only 38 games in the second year of his career because of drug bans. Ayton is also a problem player, obviously he did not show the kind of old age he looks like, I hope that Ayton can play harder, so that the contract you do not mention yourself, the sun will be sent to your eyes, and the current approach is meaningless.
