Talking about Booker, unconsciously, the young Mr. 70 has made great progress, because Paul's joining has allowed Booker to try a lot of achievements that he did not have before, playing the playoffs for the first time, playing the Finals for the first time, and more and more firsts are being verified by Booker. Compared with the rapid growth of young players, Booker's starting point is not high, we are not high here, not that Booker's data is not good, but because in the previous seasons, he did not lead the Suns to the playoffs, compared to the current Morant, Doncic and Trae Young, Booker's starting point is very late.
But for Booker, in fact, thanks to the lows in the early stages of his career, it is precisely because of this experience that we see the greatness of today. The first time he made the playoffs, he played in the Finals, and his performance in the Finals was also impeccable, perhaps his start was not as high-profile as that of young players, but Booker's growth was accompanied by a hint of composure in a high profile, just like the current Suns, even if they are not too big superstars, but they still play the first record in the league, if there are Warriors in the early stage can pose a threat to them, the current Suns have already opened up the gap with other teams.
Many people think that Paul is the core of the Suns, and under paul's leadership, the Suns have achieved such an achievement today, Xiao Feng does not deny such a view, but he does not all agree. First of all, we have to admit the fact that Paul's scoring explosiveness is an exception in such a small-ball era, and he has led the Suns to progress in the traditional way. Xiao Feng wants to remind everyone that if Paul is the engine of the team, then Booker must be the foundation of the team, and the reason why Paul is strong is because there is always a super scorer like Booker around him to assist Paul, from Harden to Alexander until the current Booker, it is precisely because of their existence that Paul's greatness has been achieved.
Compared with Paul's greatness, in fact, we largely ignore Booker's influence on the team, this season's Suns played to a key moment of 23 wins and 3 losses, in these games, Paul is the absolute core, the key moment Paul's play is very stable, and Booker? Playing a total of 61 key moments this season, shooting 22 of 33 from the field and shooting 66.7 percent, including 7 of 14 three-pointers (50 percent shooting) and only one turnover, plus-minus of +86. The data doesn't lie, Booker is growing, and maybe if it weren't for Phoenix, Booker might have had a higher level of attention. If Booker's first metamorphosis began in the second season of his career, then after last season, especially after the baptism of the Finals, Booker became stronger.
In addition to the strong psychological quality, Booker's offensive efficiency of 115.4 can also rank 14th in the league, the most important thing is that Booker's defensive efficiency of 106.5 has set a new career high, this season Booker intentionally reduced the number of shots on the inside, but with the increase in the number of outside shots, his production has not decreased, 36.9% of the three-point shooting rate is the second highest in the career, which can be seen from the data, whether it is offense, defense or ability, Booker is growing into the cornerstone of the Suns. Paul keeps the Suns on track, and Booker is the Suns' future.
When everything is going well in the business, the most envied by fans may be Booker's girlfriend, as an international supermodel Kendal Jenna, if the original Booker may not be worthy of Jenna, but since last season, he has completely conquered Jenna, frequently come to the stadium to watch Booker's games to help him cheer up, like a little woman.
What is a winner in life? In fact, Booker has perfectly interpreted for us, he is the core of the team on the field, he has a nearly perfect girlfriend in life, life should be like Booker, what does the husband want. Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
