Phoenix, also known as the Phoenix City, is located in the Arizona desert. Its unique geographical location makes this city surrounded by the desert full of mysticism.

Like every desert capital in the world, the blazing flames of Arizona summers always burn this scorching city.

On the one hand, it is passionate and on the other hand, it is mysterious, so that this city is shrouded in two completely different auras. And these two auras are attached to the Suns just like destiny.

As the team's name suggests, the Suns' style of play is passionate and unrestrained. They once played the hottest run-and-gun style in the history of the NBA. But the strange thing is that this team with a pleasing style of play and smooth flow has never won the championship.

Champion, this is the tragedy of the Suns and the personal tragedy of Nash, the Son of the Wind.

When talking about the Phoenix Suns, we have to mention that man - Steve Nash!

In the 1996 golden generation draft, Nash ranked neither high nor low, and was selected by the Suns with the 15th overall pick. This was a sign that his potential was recognized, but it was a pity that he did not enter the lottery.

After joining the Suns and playing for two years, the cage was always unbreakable and the main force couldn't get what he tried for. In Phoenix, he was regarded as a good substitute and a high-quality shooter, but his overall performance was neither salty nor cold, neither hot nor cold.

Seeing this situation, the management sighed and decided to let it go.

History is sometimes like a script, with black humor everywhere.

After being traded to the Mavericks, Nash teamed up with Finley and King Notre Dame to continuously set off a whirlwind in the wild land of Texas.

At the age of 28, Nash entered the All-Stars, and he succeeded. Nash was willing to die for those who knew him, but Cuban just didn't buy it. Cuban, who never played cards according to common sense, played what may be the stinkiest card in his life.

He treated Nash coldly, but gave Dampier, known as the second center in the Western Conference, a big contract.

When a close friend is no longer there, the only way out is to leave. Coincidentally, the one who extended an olive branch to Nash at this time was none other than his old club, the Phoenix Suns.

Now that Nash has returned home in his thirties, he has mixed feelings. Is there a sense that all the hardships have come to an end?

Life is full of steel, turning it into softness. Time has worn away Nash's edges and corners, making him soft, and making him like the name of this city, a phoenix nirvana.

In the 7-second system, Nash and his teammates implement this offensive mode. In the world of martial arts, only fast is unbeatable, and the one who makes the Sun so fast is Nash, the Son of the Wind.

The hot Phoenix, accompanied by the strong wind brought by Nash, set off waves of monstrous heat waves, mercilessly burying each opponent.

But when it came to the final battle, there were still two bonds that could not be broken. One was Duncan of the Spurs, and the other was Nowitzki, who was Nash's former teammate.

The highest honor of two MVPs cannot be exchanged for even one finals experience. If possible, Nash is willing to give everything in exchange for the coveted O'Brien Gold Cup.

However, life is not a game after all. Without transactions, what is lost will never come back.

In the desolation and ending, Stoudemire is gone, Marion is gone, Joe Johnson is gone, the Brazilian Lightning is gone, everyone is gone.

The wind should always leave a piece of freedom in the sky, but Nash is willing to stay for Phoenix. When the scenery is clear, the son of the wind is still stubborn.

Maybe Nash missed the best time to switch to the Lakers, but he will not regret it. In the golden stage of his career, he refused to join a team. These are probably the veterans of the 1996 golden generation who retained our last strength.

The Suns have always been a strong team in the Western Conference, but they have not been able to win a championship. The closest the team came to a championship was probably in the 2009-2010 season.

The Suns that year had Steve Nash, Amar'e Stoudemire, Jason Richardson, and Grant Hill. In the playoffs, they defeated Boston 4-2 in the first round.

Portland Trail Blazers; swept the Spurs 4-0 in the second round. However, they lost to the Lakers 2-4 in the Western Conference Finals and were unfortunately eliminated and missed the Finals.

In 2013, the Phoenix Suns traded the aging Steve Nash and began the road to reconstruction.

In 2015, the team acquired a new generation of core player-Devin Booker through the draft.

Born in 1996 and graduated from the famous basketball school Kentucky, Booker is very young and has a height of 1.98 meters. His biggest feature is his scoring ability.

He was selected to the All-Rookie First Team in the 2015-16 season, won the All-Star Three-Point Contest in the 2017-18 season, and was selected to the All-Star Western Conference reserve team in the 2019-20 season.

Booker has a very soft touch and his three-point shooting percentage is second to none, which makes his scoring easier.

From his rookie season when he first entered the league, averaging 13.6 points per game, Booker has grown all the way and is now one of the top ten scorers in the league, averaging 26.6 points per game, temporarily ranking tenth in the scoring list.

Booker performed amazingly on the court again and again, scoring 33 points in a single game, 36 points in a single game, and 45 points in a single game. Even on March 25, 2017, in the game between the Suns and the Celtics, Devin Booker

Ke played 45 minutes and made 21 of 40 shots, including 4 of 11 three-pointers and 24 of 26 free throws. He scored 70 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, setting a career single-game scoring record and a personal single-game scoring record in Suns team history.

Became the 6th player in NBA history to score 70+ points in a single game.

This game is Booker's personal show. It is said that two fists are difficult to beat with four hands. 70 points in a single game did not help the Suns win.

In addition to being an excellent three-point shooter and free throw expert, Devin Booker also has a very high basketball IQ, excellent shot selection, fast speed, and can adapt to high-confrontation games. His shortcoming is his mediocre explosive power.

Devin Booker has excellent scoring ability, so the team must equip him with an excellent passer. Ricky Rubio, the "golden boy" from Spain, is the current starting point guard of the Suns.

Rubio was selected by the Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick in the first round in 2009, and then moved around in circles before moving to Phoenix in 2019.

In the NBA, Rubio has no other honors except being named to the All-Rookie Team. However, Rubio has achieved good results in the international arena, including the 2010 EuroLeague championship, the 2017 European Cup bronze medal, and the 2019 Basketball World Cup championship.

He averages 8.8 assists per game, which is enough to show that he is an excellent passer. He is a tall point guard full of aura, good at passing and advancing the rhythm; he cannot shoot and finish the offense, but can draw fouls; he defends very well and has both

Specific style and anticipation, good rebounding.

Kelly Oubre, the Suns' starting small forward, is a player who averages fifteen or six points per game. He can perform well against a team of similar strength.

The Suns' inside line is dominated by DeAndre Ayton and Aron Baynes. Unlike other teams' inside lines that can attack independently, the Suns' inside line combination performed quite well. There is nothing surprising, but it is not either.

It would be too disappointing.

Speaking of the substitute lineup, this is one of the Suns' biggest weaknesses. There are no good players to lead the team, and there is no good scoring point, which makes Booker very tired and often plays more than 40 minutes in a game.
