Hot-blooded basketball super guard

Chapter 279 Phoenix Suns
Phoenix, also known as Phoenix, is located in the Arizona desert. The unique geographical location makes this city surrounded by deserts full of mysticism.

Like every desert capital in the world, the raging flames of Arizona's summer are always burning this hot city.

On the one hand, it is full of enthusiasm, and on the other hand, it is mysterious, which makes the city shrouded in two completely different auras.And these two auras, like destiny, were attached to the Suns.

As the name suggests, the Suns played enthusiastically and unrestrainedly. They once played the hottest running and bombing style in NBA history.But the strange thing is that this team with a pleasing style of play and smooth flow has never won a championship. This is the tragedy of the Suns, and it is also the personal tragedy of Nash, the son of the wind.

Speaking of the Phoenix Suns, I have to mention that man-Steve Nash!

In the 96 Golden Generation Draft, Nash ranked neither high nor low, and was selected by the Suns with the No.15 pick. This is a sign of his potential being recognized, but it is a pity that he did not enter the lottery.

Joining the Suns and fighting for two years, the cage is always unbreakable, and the main force can't get what they want.In Phoenix, he was regarded as a good substitute and a high-quality shooter, but his overall performance was neither salty nor weak, lukewarm.

Seeing this situation, the management sighed, it is better to let go.

History is sometimes like a script, full of black humor everywhere.

After being traded to the Mavericks, Nash teamed up with Finley and Nuo Tianwang to create a whirlwind in the wild Texas land.

At the age of 28, Nash entered the All-Star, and he succeeded.Nash is willing to die for his confidant, but Cuban just doesn't buy it.Cuban, who never played cards according to common sense, played the most stinky card in his life. He turned his eyebrows coldly at Nash, but gave Dampier, who is known as the second center in the West, a big contract.

When the confidant is no longer the confidant, the only way out is to leave. Coincidentally, it is not someone else who offered Nash an olive branch at this time, but his old club, the Phoenix Suns.

Nash, who was just a year old, came home, and he had mixed feelings, whether he would feel the joy of suffering.

Life has been tempered with steel, turning it into soft fingers. The years have worn away Nash's edges and corners, making him soft, and making him like the name of this city, the phoenix nirvana.

In the 7-second system, Nash and his teammates implemented this offensive mode. The only thing in martial arts in the world is speed, and the one who makes the sun so fast is Nash, the son of the wind.

The hot Phoenix, accompanied by the strong wind brought by Nash, set off waves of monstrous heat waves, mercilessly burying opponents one by one.

It's just that when it comes to the final battle, there are still two fetters that can't be broken. One is Duncan of the Spurs, and the other is Nowitzki, who is Nash's former teammate.

The highest honor of two MVPs cannot be exchanged for even one finals experience. If possible, Nash is willing to give everything in exchange for the coveted O'Brien Gold Cup.

However, life is not a game after all, without transactions, the lost will never come back.

In the desolation and ending, Stoudemire is gone, Marion is gone, Joe Johnson is gone, Brazil Lightning is gone, everyone is gone.

It is the wind that should always leave a piece of freedom in the sky, but Nash is willing to stay for Phoenix, until the scenery is seen through, the son of the wind is still stubborn.

Maybe Nash missed the best time to switch to the Lakers, but he will not regret it.In the golden stage of career, refusing to form a group, this is probably the veterans of the 96 golden generation, retaining our last strength of character.

The Suns have always been a strong team in the West, but they have not won a championship. The closest the team came to a championship should be the 2009-2010 season.

The Suns that year had Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Jason Richardson, Grant Hill, and defeated Boston 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs. Portland Trail Blazers; Spurs swept 4-0 in the second round.But in the Western Conference Finals, they lost to the Lakers 2-4, and regrettably missed the Finals.

In 2013, the Phoenix Suns traded the aging Steve Nash and started the road of reconstruction.

In 2015, the team got a new generation of core player-Devin Booker through the draft.

Born in 1996 and graduated from Kentucky, a famous basketball school, Booker is very young and has a height of 1.98 meters. His biggest feature is his scoring ability.

2015-16赛季入选最佳新秀阵容第一阵容，2017-18赛季夺得全明星三分大赛冠军，2019-20赛季入选全明星西部替补阵容。

Booker has a very soft touch and his three-point shooting rate is second to none, which makes his scoring easier.

From averaging 13.6 points per game in his rookie season when he first entered the league, Booker has grown all the way, and is now a top ten scorer in the league, averaging 26.6 points per game, temporarily ranking tenth on the scoring list.

Booker played amazing performances on the field again and again, with 33 points in a single game, 36 points in a single game, and 45 points in a single game. Even on March 2017, 3, in the Suns game against the Celtics, Devin Booker Ke played 25 minutes and made 45 of 40 shots, including 21 of 11 three-pointers and 4 of 26 free throws. He scored 24 points, 70 rebounds and 8 assists, setting a career scoring record in a single game and a personal single-game scoring record in the history of the Suns. Become the sixth player in NBA history to score 6+ points in a single game.

This game is Booker's personal show. The so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands, and 70 points in a single game failed to help the Suns win.

In addition to being an excellent three-point shooter and free throw expert, Devin Booker also has a very high basketball IQ. He has excellent shot selection, fast speed, and can adapt to high-confrontation games. The shortcoming is that his explosive power is mediocre.

Devin Booker has excellent scoring ability, and of course the team must equip him with an excellent passer. The "golden boy" Ricky Rubio from Spain is the current starting point guard for the Suns.

Rubio was selected by the Timberwolves with the fifth pick in the first round in 2009, then went around and moved to Phoenix in 2019.

In the NBA, Rubio has no other honors for shooting except for the first team of the All-Rookie Team.However, Rubio has made good achievements in the international arena, the 2010 Europa League champion, the 2017 European Cup bronze medal, and the 2019 Basketball World Cup champion.

The average of 8.8 assists per game is enough to show that he is an excellent passer. He is a tall point guard full of aura, good at passing and advancing the rhythm; Specific and predictive, good rebounding.

The Suns' starting small forward, Kelly Oubre, is a player who averages [-] or [-] points per game. Facing teams with similar strengths, he can play well.

The inside of the Suns is dominated by DeAndre Ayton and Aaron Baynes. Unlike other teams that can attack independently, the Suns' inside combination is quite satisfactory. would be too disappointing.

Speaking of the bench lineup, this is one of the biggest weaknesses of the Suns. Without good players to lead the team and without a good scoring point, Booker is very tired, often playing more than 40 minutes in a game.

The Phoenix Suns, which have lost six straight, urgently need a victory to stabilize the morale of the army. Devin Booker also urgently needs to lead the team to victory to prove that he is not only an excellent scorer, but also a qualified leader.
