The Super Bowl was held on February 14, Beijing time, and in order to make way for the Super Bowl, the NBA only had two games today. Quite a few NBA teams have been given breaks. The League's Number One Sun met at Booker's house today, and Craig, who was traded to the Suns, was also present.
The Suns are a very cohesive team. They've come first in the league this season, and now people see the Suns as a title favourite, and they're very competitive. Here's a look at the following set of stats: The Suns' points, rebounds, assists, three-point shooting percentage, and shooting percentage this season are all in the top five of the league. The Suns are second in the league in offensive efficiency and fourth in defensive efficiency. The ability to control mistakes is the third best in the league. The team currently has 8 people averaging in double figures per game, and we can understand that everyone can play for the Suns, and even if Paul and Booker are not in good shape one day, the rest of the team can stand up and help the team. We haven't counted Crowder, who averaged 9 points per game, and Biyombo, who was close to 9 points.
The sun is layered, with veterans and stars in their current year of playing, as well as young newcomers. In terms of lineup, the Suns have shooters, ball carriers, and defensive cores. In short, the Suns do not have any loopholes on paper at present, compared to last season they have greatly strengthened the interior line, and now the Suns can compete with any team in the league.
The data doesn't reflect the full strength of the Suns as a team, and this season's Suns are a cohesive team. Some time ago, the sun's inspirational video in the locker room was exposed, and everyone on the team got together, danced with their hands and feet, and made specific celebration moves. McKee then called on the crowd to gather and shout and cheer. Then it was time for the sun to cooperate on the field, and everyone could pass the ball and share the ball. If someone falls or is knocked down, someone will immediately come forward to help, and this team cohesion is the true meaning of basketball.
Looking back at the teams that have won the championship in the past 10 years, it seems that they all have such a characteristic - the team cohesion is strong. For example, the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020, when their team was extremely cohesive, have not had problems in the locker room like now. James and Davis were very happy playing. The Raptors who won the championship in 2019 have a locker room leader like Lowry, and Siakam, VanVleet, Leonard and others are also conscientious. The team cohesion of the Warriors was even more explosive when they won 3 championships in 4 years, and the Warriors at that time were a perfect team. Curry has a high degree of charisma and Green is a perfect dressing room leader. Pushing forward, the cohesion of the Spurs and the Lone Ranger when they win the championship is also impeccable.
At this stage, the Suns are not only ranked first in the league, but also have a gap of nearly 5 wins with the warriors who are second in the league. In the future, the Suns will also play a rebuilding team like the Rocket Thunder Magic, and it is not a problem to win in the current state of the Suns. The Suns' winning percentage when playing against the league's strongest teams this season is also very impressive. According to this trend, the Suns without injuries will definitely be the favorite to win the NBA championship this season, and the probability of reaching the Finals is very high. The Suns showed the temperament and confidence to win the championship, they reached the Finals last season, and this season the Suns vowed revenge. Dear readers, do you think the Suns can win the NBA championship this season? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below the article.
