Previously, the alliance announced a new rule. It was extremely unreasonable for many players, but there were also applause. The requirement is that players who are selected for the All-NBA and MVP selections must play at least 65 games. As soon as the regulations came out, the complaints came.
For example, Pacers All-Star guard Haliburton made it clear that it was a "stupid rule" and said that he chose to return early to maintain his eligibility for the All-Star team. Because he was selected for the best team, he could earn an extra $41 million, and in addition, Mr. Dream Chaser and Mr. Yue also objected.
This season, Irving, who played well in the Mavericks, and Embiid, who has always led the MVP list, have been determined to miss the selection of major awards because of the lack of games. With the long regular season approaching, players are prone to injuries due to both physical fatigue and mental fatigue.
On the Suns' side, in the first half of the regular season, Bradley Beal was repeatedly injured, and Durant struggled to support it. In the second half, Booker was injured again, and Durant still couldn't rest. Durant seems to have returned to another Brooklyn, saying that they would work together to win the championship, but in the end, only Adu is carrying the weight.
In the Suns' game against the Rockets, Devin Booker accidentally stepped on the ankle of teammate O'Neal and exited the game early. After missing games against the Thunder and Nuggets in succession, Shams released an injury report, and Booker will miss at least 7-10 days.
This is not the first time Booker has missed a game, as injuries and injuries have combined to miss 12 games. If he misses five games, he will not be able to participate in any awards according to the league's new rules. Booker has played in 50 games for the Suns this season, averaging 27 per game5 points 46 rebounds and 68 assists, including 49 percent from the field4%, 37 three-pointers9% and 88% of the free throws, a very efficient scorer.
Booker is not only strong in shooting, but also very efficient in shooting from the three-second zone. He made 185 5-foot shots from the basket, hitting 125 of them for a 67-range percentage6%。Being able to be inside and out is the label on Booker's body. Booker played 1,788 minutes and the Suns had an offensive efficiency of 1202，+6.1；In the 1,208 minutes Booker's absence, the Suns had an offensive efficiency of 1091，-2.7；This back and forth, it reached 88 out of 8.
In the 50 games Booker played, the Suns were 31-19, a 62% win rateIn the 12 games missed, the Suns are 5-7 and only 42%. Booker is very important to the Suns, and Durant also needs him to share the offensive pressure on the sidelines. To be honest, if the Suns' Big Three play at the same time, it won't be a big problem to maintain the top six in the West. But if Booker is absent and depends on Durant to break out, there is a hidden danger of injury, and second, it is not allowed to be old enough.
Why did the league enact 65 new rules?
In fact, it's still for the sake of ratings and profits. Over the past decade, the NBA has relied increasingly on load management, with teams often scheduling star rotations. When the team rested the stars, it made the nationally streamed game boring, devaluing the original value of the game, and thus disappointing the fans, who also missed the opportunity to see the top players face off.
Party A also raised this issue to Xiao Hua, if everyone can't make money, they can't get a blockbuster broadcast contract.
Booker supposedly said that if he can return early from the performance of the record and statistics, he should be able to enter the second or third team of the best team. Hundreds of spectators
