In a match that ended today, the Suns beat the Lone Rangers 109-101. After this game, the Suns have the top record in the league, and they have distanced themselves from all teams, including the Warriors. The Suns are truly a neglected team, and when everyone is focused on the Lakers Warriors Nets and Bucks, the Suns shine no worse than any championship team.
At the end of the day, last season the Suns were a team that reached the Finals, and they led the Bucks 2-0 at one point. But in the end, because of the alphabet brother super god, Holliday locked paul and Booker. Otherwise, the Suns may have already won a championship, and in the face of Doncic, the Great Demon King, the Sun played very calmly and did not panic. In the first half, the Lone Ranger relied on Doncic's one-star system to blossom everywhere, and Brunson and Boshin also opened fire. The Lone Ranger led 53-45 at halftime.
In the second half, the Lone Ranger still relied on Bo Shen to attack, leading the Suns by 12 points at most. But at critical moments, the sun can always sink its breath. Paul sent out a succession of good balls from the court, and Crowder hit three consecutive points. Although Doncic immediately hit a 2+1 response. But Booker also opened fire. The Suns chased the difference to 74-82 in the third quarter, and paul turned on the killing mode as soon as the last quarter began, and he raised his hand to shoot at the outside three points. Then he played against Brunson. Coupled with Bridges and Crowder's re-energies, the Suns rebounded by two points in the final three minutes.
Doncic was physically ill at the crucial moment, and he threw iron. Paul hit a desperate three-pointer to kill Suspense. Although Doncic had 28 points, 8 boards and 8 assists in the game, he made 8 turnovers. Brunson 19 points, Boshin 18 points and 11 boards, the team should play all played. For the Suns, Booker and Paul scored 48+17+10, Booker had 28 points, 5 boards and 6 assists, and Paul had 20 points, 15 boards and 11 assists without errors. It is worth mentioning that this is also the 13th time in Paul's career that he has 20 points and 10 assists in a single game without errors, and has surpassed Thiem Hardaway to rank first in history.
A few years ago, everyone was still comparing Paul and Westbrook, after all, the Rockets had 2 first-round and 2 first-round swaps to get Westbrook. And Westbrook fans often evaluate Paul as an MVP directly crushed to death. But what about the facts? Paul left the Rockets for a few years to attack and defend the game. Paul didn't join the Suns last season before being a fish belly, and then went straight to the Finals. If the Lakers can directly stud Paul after winning the championship in 20 years, I think the situation will be better than it is now.
In the final analysis, the combination of Paul and James is definitely better than the light bulb combination of the Rockets' 18th peak. James had wanted to work with Paul for a long time, but the Lakers didn't listen. The Lakers stud got Westbrook last offseason, and now the team is collapsing. If you knew that, why did you do it in the first place? Compared to the Lakers withering and being entangled in The Death of Westbrook, the sun is thriving. They also want to get Eric Gordon from the Rockets to completely rebuild the 18-year Peak Rockets.
NBA reporter Jake Fisher reported that Eric Gordon has received the attention of multiple playoff teams. But now the closest thing to the rocket is the sun. The Rockets are hoping for a first-round pick, and the Suns are expected to be satisfied. This season, Gordon played a new career high efficiency, averaging 14.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, shooting 45.6% from three-point range. The Suns configuration is very similar to the Rockets, Paul is Paul, Booker is Harden, Bridges is Ariza, Crowder is Tucker, Ayton is Capela, and now it is almost a round face, if the Suns win the championship is equivalent to the 18-year Rockets win, this is a comparable lineup.
