On March 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, the Suns defeated the Nuggets 140-130, and after this battle, the Suns also locked the first position in the regular season. This is also the third time in their history that they have reached the 1st place in the regular season after the 92-93 and 04-05 seasons.
Due to the team's excellent performance, the Suns also believe that their head coach and players should win many regular season games, and even predict that the MVP, the best head coach, the best defensive player (DPOY) and the best 6th man should be pocketed by them.
The Suns' official social media even directly modified the team's profile, writing on the Suns' introductory interface: Booker, MVP; Mikari Bridges, DPOY (Best Defensive Player); Cameron Johnson, Best Sixth Man; Monty, Coach of the Year. The Suns' official media also said in a caption, "Some necessary changes have been made." ”
And the Suns players have also stood up and spoken out. For example, Booker publicly stated in the post-match press conference that he thought he should take the MVP. Paul also supported Monti's selection as the best manager, even saying, "It's not disrespectful to other candidates, when it comes to the best coach award, I don't even think anyone can get close to Monty." If he's not, what basketball are you watching? ”
Suns player Wayne Wright wrote on social media after the game, "Best Defensive Player Bridges, MVP Devin Booker, Coach of the Year Monty Williams." I said, and I stand by that."
