Jaylen Green s Sun Manifesto: Houston is home, but Phoenix is about to make huge waves!

"We will surprise many people and cause a lot of waves!" In the scorching air of Las Vegas, Jaylen Green faced the camera with his eyes as he was like a torch, and he smashed his Phoenix City Battle Book word by word. The bold statement of the new Suns player was like thunder on the ground, instantly igniting the restlessness on the sidelines of the summer league - at this moment, no one dared to underestimate the flames flashing in the Rockets' old player's eyes.

However, behind this burning confidence, there is a trace of undetectable bitterness. When the reporter touched the name of Houston, the sharpness in Green's eyes melted quietly and his voice fell: "I really feel bad in my heart." In the words, the reluctance was so real that Houston had already melted into his bones and blood in the past four years. From a young rookie to a rising scoring blade, Rockets fans witnessed the burst moment of his leap and dunk, and also accompanied him through the ups and downs. He is rooted in the community and can always see him sweating heavily in the local arena during the offseason or participating in charity. He once truly believed that his bright red battle robe would always float under the center dome of Toyota. The hometown is hard to leave. Even though the road ahead is covered with stars, the bags of parting are still filled with heavy old love.

NBA's cruel trading market was like a cold gate, falling down when Green was unprepared. In the reconstruction blueprint of Rockets management, his name was removed from the core coordinates. Green admitted that the news came, and shock and loss instantly swallowed him like a tide. In the final season of the Rockets' career, he delivered a record of 19.1 points per game, but his low efficiency (real shooting percentage is only 53.7%) and defensive struggles ultimately made him a key bargaining chip for the team to exchange for future assets. After a disappointing season, the Suns urgently need to inject new vitality into two top scorers, Durant and Booker, especially the explosive scoring power on the bench. Green's youthful talent and attacking instinct are exactly the "X factor" they desire. The moment of fate was caught off guard, and the young man's ambition could not escape the cold consideration of business struggle.

Say goodbye to the familiar red and draped with the dazzling orange and purple of Phoenix City. Green did not indulge in the sorrow of parting. In the spotlight of Las Vegas, he quickly turned his eyes forward, and turned to the superstar who was about to fight alongside him - Devin Booker. "He and I will become a fatal scoring pair!" Green was determined and did not hide his longing for the future. He knew very well that playing around Booker, a top scorer who has reached the level of transformation (a miracle owner who averaged 24.9 points in his career and scored 70 points in a single game) would be a huge opportunity for his career to jump. Booker's unsolvable mid-range singles and increasingly sophisticated organizational skills (averages of more than 5 assists per game in the past two seasons) can create a broader breakthrough space and better shooting opportunities for Green. In turn, Green's lightning start-up speed, his increasingly three-point shooting (2.4 three-pointers per game last season) and his unreasonable aerial operation ability can also greatly enrich the Suns' offensive level and share the burden on Booker and Durant's shoulders. When two cold blades resonate with the sheath, the concerto that tear the opponent's defense was already playing faintly over Phoenix City.

However, the road to glory to the "fatal combination" is by no means a smooth road. The Suns are betting on the current situation, and the salary structure is already like a tight bowstring, and the luxury tax is expected to break through the astonishing $106 million mark next season. The cost-effectiveness of Green's rookie contract (about 12.4 million in the last year) is particularly precious, which also means the team's urgent expectation for him "plug and play". He must prove that he can seamlessly integrate into this mature team that is determined to win the championship, quickly understand Coach Vogel's defensive system requirements, and greatly improve his concentration and stability on the defensive end. At the same time, how to efficiently digest the remaining ball rights after the attack led by Booker and Durant and maintain firepower output in limited opportunities will be a realistic test question he faces. When polishing the championship puzzle, every inch of tiny edges and corners needs to be tempered and formed in sweat and pressure.

Jaylen Green's declaration in Las Vegas is half a warm look back at the "home" in Houston, and half a fiery war cry aimed at the future of Phoenix. From the red flame to the scorching sun of the desert, he is carrying a double bag of doubts and expectations, and is about to embark on the most critical journey of his career. Can the backcourt double guns, which were stunning enough to talk on paper with Booker, really burst out with nuclear explosion-like energy in the cruel strangle of the Wild West, and set off a huge wave that shakes the alliance pattern? Is Green's declaration of confidence a fearless passion for youth, or is it a prophecy of the real dawn of Phoenix?

When the old home becomes a mark in my heart, a new battlefield has spread out under my feet. Green's choice was not to forget it, but to aim the sharpness tempered by Houston at the higher skyline of Phoenix. The birth of a fatal combination not only requires the spark of talent collision, but also requires thousands of running-in times to forge the promise into an invincible sharp blade in the corners that cannot be shined in the spotlight. Under the waves of the alliance, this time, is it the phoenix taking advantage of its new wings to soar into the sky, or is the huge wave hitting the reef of reality? The answer is only written quietly in his choice of every breakthrough and every pass and every save and defend.
