The Suns complete a blockbuster signing

The Phoenix Suns officially announced today that Budenholzer has officially become the team's new head coach. It is reported that Budenholzer signed a five-year contract worth more than $50 million with the Suns.

With Budenholzer officially becoming the new head coach of the Suns, it also means that a new era has begun for the team. The Suns, who have the big three of Durant, Booker and Beal, will continue to launch the most fierce impact and challenge to the O'Brien Cup under the leadership of Budenholzer! The master, who led the Bucks to the 2021 NBA championship, will be able to combine the Big Three into an organic whole. After all, his predecessor Vogel was unable to use the Big Three scientifically and rationally and led to his dismissal! The Suns are not as easy to sit as they imagined, Vogel with a five-year contract was fired after only one year, and then it depends on whether Budenholzer, who has a five-year contract, can lead the team to win the championship, will he be the next Vogel?

Alexander made history

In the previously concluded G3 competition in the Western Conference semifinals, the Thunder, who were fighting away, finally lost 101-105 to the Mavericks, and they are currently 1-2 behind after swallowing two consecutive defeats.

In this game, Alexander, as the star of the Thunder, performed comprehensively, shooting 10 of 23 from the field, 2 of 3 from three-point range, and 9 of 10 free throws to score a game-high 31 points, plus 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks. However, the performance of his teammates was not good, coupled with the Maverick Irving's outburst at the end of the quarter, and in the end, the Thunder had no choice but to accept the loss. Despite the Thunder's loss, Alexander made history in this game! According to statistics, Alexander became the first guard player in NBA playoff history to score at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks in a single game. Honestly, Alexander's performance is perfect, and it would have been even better if his team-mates had helped the team win!

New progress in the selection of the Lakers' coach

According to Lakers reporter Jovan Buha, the Lakers will interview Timberwolves chief assistant coach Mika Norrie. It is reported that the 50-year-old Norrie has 15 years of NBA assistant coaching experience, he served as an assistant coach to Nuggets coach Mike Malone from 2015-18, and joined the Timberwolves coaching staff in 2021.

After firing Darwin Ham, the Lakers immediately began the selection of coaches. Their first target is Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, but he's still under contract and the Clippers plan to re-sign Lue early. The second target is Reddick. In addition, Nuggets assistant coach David Adelman, Mavericks assistant coach Sean Sweeney, and Heat assistant coach Chris Quinn are all potential candidates for the Lakers' coach. So, can Norrie, who has a unique coaching mind, a top-notch defensive strategy before the game, and an excellent ability to read on the court, finally stand out as the head coach of the Lakers? We'll see!
