On March 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, the Suns defeated the Nuggets 140-130 away from home, winning seven consecutive wins while locking up the regular season championship in advance. Now the Suns' record has reached 60 wins and 14 losses, and it is the only team with 60 wins this season, but even so, the Suns are still not optimistic, which is also quite heartwarming.
NBA star O'Neal said: "The Suns are now number one in the league? Congratulations to them, they have won the top spot. But none of them can be intimidated, and for me, the Suns, like the Jazz, they have a lot of good players, but some of them can be crushed. ”
Skip, a well-known commentator, said: "Again, I wouldn't be surprised if the Grizzlies had gone farther than the Suns this season and won the Western Conference championship.
What is the logic of being optimistic about the Youth Army Grizzly Bears and not optimistic about the sun? You know, the Suns can reach the finals last season, even if there is a component of luck, but they are also winning one by one.
In addition to the team's lack of recognition, even the stars in the team are not optimistic, and in the latest issue of the MVP list, Booker only ranks 9th. If the same data and team results, James, Curry or Durant, will certainly not be in the 9th position.
Facing the Nuggets this time, Booker shot 16-of-25 from the field, 2-of-5 from three-point range, 15-of-17 from three-point range, and scored a season-high 49 points plus 10 assists, still doing well. After the game, it also received a lot of attention, and the basketball star Irving was very direct: Booker MVP.
Grizzlies star Morant: "All of you have to start respecting Booker!" "Not only to respect Booker, but also to respect the Suns as a team.
Since the outside world is not optimistic, the sun blows itself. The Suns' official Twitter changed profile to read: Booker, MVP; Mikari Bridges, DPOY (Best Defensive Player); Cameron Johnson, Best Sixth Man; Monty, Coach of the Year.
Judging from the current results, these four awards have a chance to fight, although it seems to be a good opportunity, but it feels a bit far away. Booker has not been in the top three of the MVP, Bridges is not as vocal as Alphabet Brother and Gobert, Johnson is not as good as Hiro, Monty may be the most promising.
Winning 60 wins but not being favored is also a bad thing, perhaps as Lakers star Davis said, last year's playoff elimination of the Lakers was just some luck. Now that the Suns want to prove themselves, maybe they should really look forward to it, facing the Lakers again in the first round of the playoffs, and both teams are also very likely. The Suns have locked in the first, the Lakers ranked ninth in the West, want to qualify for the playoffs, only the playoffs to win 2 consecutive games, then just ranked eighth, such a match will also attract more points of view, but also quite look forward to.
