The recent situation of the Suns has been nothing short of disastrous. They even lost a game against the Hornets, who were already on a ten-game losing streak, which is incredibly disappointing.
The atmosphere within the team, from top to bottom, has become utterly terrible. Everyone is filled with embarrassment and anger due to the loss, and a sense of oppression hangs over the entire team.
Even outside the court, there are many discordant sounds constantly coming out.
It is reported that after the game, there was a severe internal conflict in the Suns' locker room. The team members seemed to be blaming each other and not giving in because of the loss, as if they were "fighting for attention" over the defeat.
There are rumors that Beal, considered the "third giant" of the team, had a very intense verbal conflict with the coaching staff.
The source of the problem was that Beal openly clashed with a member of the coaching staff in the locker room.
Perhaps everyone would be surprised that such a thing could happen in a team with three giants. But the reality is just like this. Obviously, Beal is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the team. He feels that he has made too many sacrifices for the team, but in the end, he still lost the battle that should have been won in the midst of consecutive defeats.
The coaching staff always firmly believes that Beal must continue to contribute and make sacrifices for the team. In this process, no one in the team can slack off or fail, and everyone must go all out, and Beal bears the important responsibility of contributing to the team.
The two sides exchanged words fiercely, making the atmosphere on the scene extremely tense. Even though some players hurriedly tried to stop it, the conflict still did not subside, and the tense atmosphere remained.
What's worse is that Durant couldn't stand it anymore when he saw the situation in the locker room, which undoubtedly made the situation even more out of control.
At that time, he looked at the atmosphere in the locker room, and the smell of gunpowder was so strong that it was about to overflow. At that moment, he was so angry that he slammed his chair down hard to vent his anger, as if he wanted to release all his anger through this throw.
Can you imagine? As a leader in the team, Durant's heart was probably already filled with despair when he witnessed such a situation.
Durant's performance in the game is really worrying, and his inner dissatisfaction has become increasingly evident during the game.
This team seems to have long lost its cohesion, like a pile of loose sand. Moreover, the relationship between players and coaches within the team has also produced cracks, no longer as harmonious as before, which is undoubtedly very unfavorable for the development of the team.
All these negative situations continue to accumulate, eventually leading to an outbreak of conflict in the locker room. Although everyone seems to be trying to maintain order on the surface, in fact, from their specific performance, it can be seen that everyone's passion for the game has long disappeared without a trace.
Many basketball experts and commentators have given their opinions on Durant's future, thinking that at present, Durant is no longer suitable to continue to shoulder the responsibility of a leader in the Suns.
Regarding this, netizens also hold different views.
Some netizens question the mentality of Durant and Beal.
To be honest, the current situation of the Suns is really a pity. That situation really hurts to see and feel, with many expectations at first, but the current situation is so regrettable, full of sighs for its current state.
At the beginning of the season, everyone was full of expectations for this team. After all, the team has first-class players like Durant, Beal, and Booker. But who could have expected that their super combination would end up in such a state? Look at the current Suns, the players are demoralized, and the whole team's atmosphere is so dull that it is difficult to lift up.
The most critical point is probably the lack of a real leader who can lead the whole team to victory. After all, in the process of team development, such a leader who can play a leading role and lead everyone to victory is crucial, and it is precisely lacking at the moment.
No matter what the future direction is, the current situation of the Suns and the turmoil in the locker room cannot help but worry about their future.
If the team cannot quickly adjust their mentality and unite as one, it is likely that the whole season will become very bad.
Whether the Suns can recover may depend on whether Durant and Beal stay with the team. The future direction of the team largely depends on the situation of these two players, and their presence or absence has a key impact on the Suns' recovery.
If they continue to "fight internally" like this, whether it is the players or the coaches, it will be very difficult to get out of this chaotic situation.
