It's over, it's completely over.
In the third quarter, Durant stepped on a defender during the break-through with the ball, causing him to drop his foot 90 degrees and then withdraw from the game, and finally the Suns made the Rockets 109-148, suffering three consecutive defeats and losing each game.
There has been no definite injury report on Durant's ankle injury, but according to Suns coach BudenholzerThe former will not participate in the team's next three consecutive away games, the opponents are the Bucks, Green Kai and Knicks.
Meiji Goodwill believes thatThis serious ankle sprain may end Durant's journey this season......
Netizens from all walks of life seconded the proposal, and even said that the battle with the Rockets was still the curtain call of Durant's Suns career, and now almost everyone thinks that he will be used as a bargaining chip this summer to participate in a big trade that is enough to cause a sensation in the league.
If the Suns lose the next three consecutive away games, they will basically lose hope of hitting the play-offs, and even if Durant is fully injured, there is no need to come back, which is why there are the above concerns.So far, they are 11th in the West with 35 wins and 40 losses, 1.5 wins behind the 10th-placed Kings, which is getting closer and closer to disintegration.
So far this season, Durant has played 62 games, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in less than 37 minutes per game, shooting 52.7%, 43% and 83.9% from three, and there are still 3 games left to meet the selection requirements of the major awards in the regular season (at least 65 games).
By the way, Durant's hottest new destination is Houston at the moment, so maybe the Rockets are not only the end of his Suns career, but also the beginning of a new chapter in his career.
Don't look at the fact that the Rockets have now lifted off and are currently in second place in the West with 49 wins and 26 losses, but they lack superstars and are not favored to go far in the playoffs.
After all, the playoffs belong to the supergiant stage, and the Rockets twin stars Jalen Green (21.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game) and Shin Jing (19.1 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists) only barely touched the All-Star threshold.
As a result, the Rockets are more of a civilian team, and this type of team often can't make the playoffs and regular season like a bamboo.
If the Rockets really suffer a rout in this year's playoffs because they don't have a super-giant press, maybe they will make up their minds to stud Durant and bring the 36-year-old but still in prime condition to Houston and become a new leader in a group of young people.
Previously, the U.S. media gave a 3-party transaction plan plan, which is as follows:
The Suns get Markkanen, Landale and a '25 first-round pick; Rockets get Durant; The Jazz got Shepard, Smith Jr., Whitmore, Aaron Holiday , Jeff Green, Tate, a 25-year first-round pick and a $20.4 million trade exception.
Throughout Durant's journey, he has changed 4 teams so far, and only succeeded in his Warriors career (2 championships in 3 years), but at the same time he was questioned, and he was criticized for hugging his thighs to achieve something, which is why he is in a hurry to win another championship, and is bound to prove that he can reach the top without Curry's partner, but unfortunately the reality is far from ideal.
Finally, I wish KD the return of the king as soon as possible and the reaper of death will come!
