Throughout the history of the NBA, most of the successful superstars have their own crazy scoring performances, just as Kobe Bryant scored 40+ points in 9 consecutive games from February 6 to February 23, 2003, showing his historical level of scoring ability without reservation. After Kobe Bryant, there are a lot of "Kobe bryant disciples" in the league, and the scoring methods of stars such as DeRozan, Irving, Booker, Tatum and so on all have Kobe's figure, so that we are all wondering which star has the real kobe?? A thousand fans have a thousand opinions, and they still need to prove their prowess.
Unconsciously, this is The seventh season of Booker's entry into the league, and he is still moving forward in the pursuit of the championship. Since the Nash era, the Suns finally emerged in the West in the 20-21 season and reached the long-lost Finals; after a round of finals baptism, the team slowly showed unparalleled resilience and strength, and this season played the league's first record, and became the first team to lock a playoff spot. After losing to defending champion Bucks last season, they are back in better shape this season and it's not clear if the Bucks will feel a chill on their backs.
Even though paul was temporarily lost earlier, the Suns still played a very stable and eye-catching record, and they were still able to firmly grasp the league's first record. In yesterday's game against the Timberwolves, the team defeated the opponent 125-116, bearing in mind that the Timberwolves are one of the best teams since the All-Star, and can beat the strength of the Visible Sun. In addition, the star Booker scored 28 points, becoming the fourth youngest Mr. Wanfen in NBA history after James, Kobe Bryant and Durant.
But just a day later, the Suns had to go to the road to challenge the Nuggets, which was a team that sat on the MVP of the season' big pick Jokic, and it was still difficult to win the game. But so what? The Suns finally welcomed back point guard Paul, which will undoubtedly boost the morale of the team. In the first three quarters of the game, the two sides played incomprehensibly, and the Nuggets still led by 2 points after the third quarter; but after the last quarter, the Suns showed the fangs of the championship, playing a wave of 36-24 offense and 140 points to 130 to win the Nuggets, but also ushered in a seven-game winning streak.
As the core leader of the family, Booker played the best game of the season: he played 39 minutes, 16-of-25 shooting, and recorded 49 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, which was an extremely physically demanding back-to-back game. Statistically, Booker has mid-range shots, three-pointers, free throws, assists, which all show his comprehensive scoring ability; in addition, he has also dedicated 3 steals, invested a lot of focus and energy on the defensive end, and changed the fans' stereotypes about him defensively.
At this point, we have seen Booker's upgrade again, such a comprehensive and offensive and defensive integration of performance, it is simply the possession of the master Kobe, and it is worthy of the title of "Kobe's disciple". After just one game, Booker set a number of new stats: 49 points set a season high, the 22nd 40+ of his career, and the total score of 10,054 points rose to the sixth place in team history. Booker also soared to the fourth place in the MVP odds, 20 days ago in the MVP odds list, Booker only ranked eighth, and now has surpassed Morant and Doncic to rise to the fourth place after Alphabet Brother, Jokic and Embiid.
In Paul's absence, Booker was also able to maintain the Suns' record in the first place, and he became the organizer to lead the attack of his teammates, and Booker undoubtedly had a chance to be selected for the MVP discussion. Earlier in an MVP ranking list, Booker, the leader of the league's first team, only ranked ninth, causing coach Monty to be suspicious.
However, if nothing else, in the latest issue of the official MVP list, Booker's ranking will undoubtedly continue to improve. After all, Booker beat MVP hit Jokic today with absolute strength, leading the team to a record of 60 wins.
