1125: The hot feel continues (3/5)

On the evening of February 26, the game between the Grizzlies and the Suns attracted the attention of many fans.

This game was not only the fans of the Grizzlies and Warriors, but also attracted a large number of neutral fans.

After all, this game will most likely affect the entire western landscape this year.

If the Grizzlies experience another two-game losing streak at this critical moment, their efforts in the previous few months are likely to be in slack.

The Grizzlies' record is naturally very good, and they are still required to do better now, which means they are somewhat picky about the bones in their eggs.

But the competition between the two super teams is so fierce.

There are also many fans who came to watch the game on site today, but the sidelines of the Federal Express Arena are not as star-stunning as Staples or Madison Square Garden.

Most of the people who come to see the game are ordinary fans and very few celebrities.

Even former professional players who come here to watch football are not that eye-catching.

Melvin Booker sat in the first row of the court with a smile on his face.

The happiest thing he has in his life is to sit on the sidelines and watch his son play basketball.

As a former NBA player who has only played 44 games in the league, Melvin Booker is obviously not a big star. He lost the draft and spent most of his career in Europe. So sitting on the court, no one recognizes him.

But it was this former professional player who lost the draft and had an ordinary career experience that cultivated a talented and potential stock like Devin Booker.

Old Booker rushed to the Federal Express Arena to watch the game today, because his son rarely invited him to watch the game on site today.

Against the best team and the best players in the league, Old Booker knew it was indeed a special night for his son.

In fact, few young players compare themselves with the best players in the league.

But Booker did that. His goal has never been to become the strongest newcomer, but to become the best star in the league!

When players from both sides appeared to warm up, Hubby Bryn also started his own work.

"I have to say that the Phoenix Suns' record of 18 wins and 41 losses is not worth mentioning at all. But this game is still full of variables, and we all know that the Grizzlies can no longer bear another accident."

It can be seen that Lao Hubi is very nervous. In today's game, the Grizzlies must not make any mistakes!

At the same time, on the basketball court, Suns coach Earl Watson was extremely excited.

Because when the players warmed up, he found that the hot touch that Booker showed during training yesterday was perfectly inherited today!

"Today, we might really be able to create some surprises for the league's number one." Watson said to his assistant Jay Triano with a smile.

"Yes, Booker seems very excited today. However, the opponent is always the first in the league, so don't have too much expectations." Triano shrugged. He had no hope of being upset. After all, the Suns are rebuilding the team and have to recognize the reality.

"I hope this thing... Is there something that is OK occasionally. Look, Booker will surprise the entire league today!"

Watson was full of confidence. That boy Booker had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Every time he lost to Link, he had to practice the unwillingness of the late night, Watson never forgot.

Booker will never let the chance to defeat the Grizzlies slip away from his fingertips!

Both starters stepped into the court one after another. Judging from paper, the Sun seemed vulnerable in front of the Grizzlies.

Although starting point guard Eric Bledsoe is particularly beautiful in statistics and is also called the defender version of James by fans, he has never been a superstar.

Although the starting small forward T.J. Warren is very potential, he is still in his growth stage and is not considered a particularly good combat power.

Marquez Chris, the starting fourth position, is more like a blue-collar worker with outstanding athletic ability, and is not the key to winning or losing.

White center Alex Ryan is also the substitute for Tyson Chandler after his injury. In other words, the Suns did not treat him as the starting center at the beginning.

The most dazzling player in the starting lineup of the Suns is Devin Booker.

The potential guard, who is just 20 years old, has been able to contribute 22.1 points and 36.3% of three-point shooting percentage this season.

There are only a handful of sophomore players as outstanding as him in NBA history.

In addition, his 13th pick draft ranking can make fans have high expectations for him.

After all, the last shooting guard who shocked the world was selected at the 13th pick.

After that, fans always had inexplicable expectations for the shooting guard who was selected in the 13th overall pick.

The Suns' lineup is generally full of potential, but it is still a bit worse than the league's first wrestle.

Before the ball jump started, the Grizzlies fans started shouting.

After accidentally losing to the Pacers the day before yesterday, they hoped that the Grizzlies could win a hearty victory in the sun to vent their unwillingness and frustration.

However, at the beginning of the game, Booker disappointed the fans on the scene.

After Alex Ryan won the first attack for the Suns, Bledsoe passed the ball to Booker as soon as possible.

At that time, Booker was on the right side of the three-point line, defended by Wade.

In the most awesome years of Wade's career, Booker was still a teenager. In front of Booker, Wade was really a veritable man.

But Booker was not ruthless because the other party was an "old man". He made several three-threat moves in front of Wade, and then suddenly pulled out a jump shot!

This bold choice shocked everyone. No one expected Booker to dare to make ground on Wade's head.

Just as people were about to criticize or laugh at Booker, the beautiful notes that sounded in the training ground last night were spoken again.

"brush!"

The basketball was hollowed into the net, and Booker steadily shot the first goal as if his hands were on fire.

"Book made a pretty three-pointer, and he didn't plan to be ruthless at the beginning. I have to say that Booker does have the calmness and maturity that other players of his age do not have. He has always been a precocious player. Last season I found that he had a very profound understanding of defense and game."

Booker's shot was the first to score for the Suns, although it was just a three-pointer, the Suns did not yet gain a real advantage.

But for some reason, Huby Brown had a bad premonition.

Booker felt like he was thorny today.

Soon, the Grizzlies completed the counterattack under Conley's organization.

Link ran without the ball to attract defense, and Jokic took the opportunity to cut into the basket after the ball was covered.

When everyone thought the Grizzlies' end point was Link, Conley handed the ball to Jokic.

When Jokic received the basketball at the low post, Marquez Chris had no choice.

Jokic leaned against Chris' lazy "uncle hooking" and easily scored the ball.

The cheers in the Federal Express Arena continued to rise, and the Suns' defense was still so fragile!

Next, the game is about to enter the rhythm of the Grizzlies!

However, before the Grizzlies fans were happy for a long time, they heard the sound of the Nets rolling again.

80% of the fans at the scene were confused. They were just celebrating Jokic's goal, but they didn't care about what happened on the Football Stadium.

Even Hubby Brown didn't see what had just happened.

He only saw Alex Ryan driving a long-distance baseline ball, and then the Suns scored!

"What happened just now!? Even the camera didn't keep up with the speed of that ball!" Hubby Brown said, looking up at the score.

If you don't look at it, Hubby Brown was even more surprised when he saw the score.

6-2, the Suns just scored a three-pointer!?

At this time, the goal just now began to be played back.

It turned out that the moment Jokic scored, Booker had already started to the Grizzlies' half-court, and Alex Ryan drove a quick bottom line ball.

Wade pressed Booker closely, but he didn't expect Booker to stop outside the three-point line!

Generally speaking, counterattacks are all about hitting the basket. The reason is very simple. It is the easiest way to score goals at the basket. Isn’t the counterattack just about speed and efficiency?

However, Booker stopped running at the extra three-pointer, which caught Wade off guard.

By the time Wade was about to seal it, Booker had already completed his move.

People say Booker is here to take over Kobe, but Booker is actually playing more like Ray Allen in the early stages of his career. Apart from both the 13th pick, there is no more similarity between him and Kobe.

Booker is very comprehensive in skills, but he particularly prefers three-pointers. As the super sixth man in college, Booker was indeed just a pitcher.

But in fact, when you give him more responsibility, he can do more than just pitcher work.

A lightning counterattack, Booker hit a three-pointer on Wade's head again. The Phoenix Suns did not allow the Grizzlies to complete the counterattack, but continued to lead!

On the sidelines, Melvin Booker smiled with relief.
Chapter completed!
