On this year’s media day, there is a team that has become an unconventional existence, that is, the Sun ridiculed by the industry as “media day looks like a funeral. It is reasonable that Sun players can’t see a smile on their faces. But what will the Suns be worried about, whether it is the new boss, the future of the team, or the decline in the record and the cracks that still exist in the team?
Elton left the team, got involved in the durant deal, the boss was exposed to the incident, and Claude also jumped out to make a big fuss. The Sun did not feel very comfortable during the off-season this year. But then again, the sun is not the only strong team that is not comfortable during the off-season this year. The departure of Durant and the deal with Owen made basketable nets senior executives look like ants on the hot pot. One of the new aid received at a small price was reimbursed in advance, involved in the durant deal, and the coach was banned, it also makes Celtics too upset to call it directly.
However, the media day of basketable nets and the Green Army was not as lifeless as the sun. On basketable nets, I was busy eliminating the adverse effects brought by the summer turmoil in the media day, and the external caliber was surprisingly consistent, no matter what kind of feedback was received; The Green Army was also like this, and Jay Brown publicly expressed that the past was like smoke, the team is also trying to downplay the adverse effects of the manager scandal. However, only the Suns will seem to plunge into the sad Whirlpool and cannot extricate themselves?
After Sun boss Savo happened, people couldn’t help sighing Paul “Boss ke”. In this case, how did the Clippers perform in the 2014-15 season when Donald Sterling, the former Clippers boss, made a scandal? Different from Savo, the Stirling incident was at the end of the season (in April, 2014, Bolmer completed the acquisition of the Clippers in August of that year), while the Savo incident was in the off-season period.
Many fans will still remember that after the incident in Stirling, the Clippers will be led by Paul. They once threw basketball clothes on the field in the warm-up before the game to protest. At that time, the Clippers will be full of spirit. Although the rocket turned 4-3 after the 3-1 lead in the second round of the Western District in 2015, Paul also left the classic scene of killing Spurs in the first round. The Clippers handed over such an answer sheet in the turmoil, which could still make people feel high morale.
In fact, the reason why Sun “media day is like a funeral” has little to do with the change of boss. After all, Savo could promise to sell the team so readily, instead of deliberately delaying like Sterling. The pressure from James and Paul was effective. In addition, after the news of Savo’s sale of the team came out, all walks of life, after evaluation, agreed that today’s sun is a quality asset. Predictably, no matter which new boss takes over, the momentum of the Sun’s development is unstoppable, and the new boss will certainly continue to add bricks.
After all, the worries about the record and the cracks that may be hidden in the team are the real reasons why the Suns who are the parties concerned will be worried, but the unknown outsiders will be confused.
The performance of the sun in the past two seasons has increased the appetite of the fans and the appetite of the sun. You know, before the 2020-21 season, the sun was blocked outside the playoff gate for 10 consecutive years, and the glory of Nash era seemed to have become a prehistoric memory. But 10 years later, just after returning to the playoffs, he entered the finals. It is like giving a bowl of braised pork to a hungry person. It is cool, but it may bring unexpected effects.
The 2021 finals led the stag 2-0, making the sun think that it can finally end the team’s desire for the first championship in 52 years. But in the end, they were turned 2-4, and the sadness index was directly forced to the last round of the Bundesliga in the 2000-01 season, which was only the “4-minute champion” of Schalke 04.
In the 2021-22 season, the sun hit the champion again. In the regular season, 18 consecutive victories and 11 consecutive victories came one after another, and finally won the first place in the league with 64 wins, setting a record of Young Pioneer Team history single-season wins, the industry and fans even argued for whether Booker should be included in the MVP. But the sun in the playoffs is judged to be two teams. Due to Booker’s injury in the first round, the sun was almost driven by Pelicans to grab seven, and the second round was even more difficult to defeat the Lone Ranger in seven games.
During the off-season this year, the sun once again raised hopes that Durant applied for leaving the team and appointed the sun and heat as the next home. But the Sun spent time and energy on the renewal of Elton’s contract. In the end, the Sun renewed Booker and matched Elton, leaving almost a full set of horses, but he could only say goodbye to Durant. Today, the Sun was asked to explain, and their answers were nothing more than two points: we didn’t exchange Durant’s chips, but Durant wouldn’t come at all. The real idea of fans teasing the Sun is “it doesn’t belong to me, even reaching out is unnecessary”.
It is just called “one drum, one failure, three exhaustion.” If the sun can step by step in recent years, the player’s mentality may be more stable. However, from the low ebb to the peak instantly, then it slowly slides down, seeing the hope of winning the championship as a tornado “go fast and go fast”, the sun will be a kind of suffering.
In addition, the Suns are not monolithic, which can be seen from the storm that Claude left the team. Recently, edton and coach Monty Williams played a charade-like interaction, it also makes the outside world find that things are far from what they think. Although Ayton pushed the responsibility of not getting the top salary to Savo who had decided to leave, if he wanted to repair the relationship with Monty, it would not be less difficult than the basketable Nets general manager Sean-Max and Durant to repair the relationship.
In the face of the situation of the sun, some people mentioned that “the mourning soldiers will win”, while others mentioned that “when people’s hearts break up, the team will not be able to bring them. With the team’s change date approaching (the US media had previously reminded the Sun that this year’s sales market was the best, and the price would not be lower than 2.5 billion), The Sun would still undergo drastic changes, but I don’t know which direction to face. Can the sun rise from the West in the 2022-23 season? (Supine support/fur)
