Paul faced three goals
The number of assists a team often reflects the team's team nature. The team currently ranking first in the league in assists per game is the San Antonio Spurs, followed by the Golden State Warriors, followed by the Charlotte Hornets and Phoenix Suns. The Spurs and Warriors are team basketball, and everyone can assist, while the Hornets and Knicks have passing masters, one is the traditional point guard Chris Paul, and the other is the rising star Lamelo Ball. The fight between the two is naturally very interesting.
The Phoenix Suns have been in trouble lately, with starting center Ayton and substitute center McGee unable to play, and the Suns urgently signed Biyombo in hopes of reinforcing the team's interior line. On the Hornets side, there are also 3 players who can't play because of isolation, but the team's core lineup is basically complete. Even so, the overall strength of the Suns is far stronger than that of the Hornets.
The game is one-sided
At the beginning of the first quarter, the gap between the two teams began to be reflected, Chris Paul did not shoot once, but delivered 6 assists, Booker was unstoppable on the offensive end, 14 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist on 5-of-7 shooting, the Suns easily scored 36 points, while the Charlotte Hornets only scored 27 points, of which Lamelo Ball contributed 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 block. After returning from the second quarter, the Suns' offense continued, with Paul having 2 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists on 1-of-2 shooting, and the number of assists in the half-court was in double figures.
The more assists Paul has, the better the feel of the sun. By the end of halftime, the Suns had already scored 73 points, while the Charlotte Hornets, with just 47 points in the line, were already 26 points behind. In the second half, the Hornets still did not change much, Ball got 9 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, the team got 27 points in a single quarter, which is already good, but the Suns took 33 points in a single quarter, Chris Paul was 5 assists in a single quarter, absolutely worthy of blossoming everywhere, the point difference directly came to 32 points, and the game can be said to have completely lost suspense.
After returning from the final quarter, Shamet hit a three-point streak and the Suns had another 11-2 spurt, with the point difference coming beyond 40. The two teams then switched to role players and the game went into garbage time, eventually the Phoenix Suns beat charlotte Hornets 133-99 on the road by 34 points.
Assists 16-1
The contest between two talented point guards, 36-year-old Chris Paul once again showed his strength, only 6 shots in the game, but got 7 points, 6 rebounds and 16 assists, you know, he only played 26 minutes, the plus-minus value is the team's highest +34, what is the god of point guards, more or less. For comparison, Lamelo Bauer, who has always been praised, has 17 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and yes, only 1 assist. The three-goal does have excellent passing ability, but Paul's experience is there, and that's the biggest gap between the two.
Paul bullied three goals, the Suns naturally bullied the Hornets, a 34-point win, the team of 7 people scored in double figures, new signing Biyombo has 11 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, Booker has 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. The Suns delivered 36 assists across the team, while the Hornets had 27 assists. Although 27 assists per game is also very good, compared to the Suns, it is not in a grade. Rozier had a cold hand, with only 9 points and 3 rebounds on 4-of-14 shooting, while Oubre was 15 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block. After losing this game, the Hornets' three-game winning streak came to an end, but it is believed that they will definitely regroup and embark on the road to winning again.
