The Suns face the Bucks
The Phoenix Suns became the league's number one team, and the combination of Chris Paul and Devin Booker became even better after training in the Finals. In this game, the Suns will play at home against the Milwaukee Bucks, the opponent of last season's Finals. It was the closest Chris Paul had ever been to a championship trophy, and unfortunately, the dream was shattered by the Bucks Trident. So this game, for the Phoenix Suns, is undoubtedly a battle for revenge.
However, it is not so easy to get revenge, although the sun's state is very good, but the strength of the Milwaukee Bucks can not be underestimated. Under the leadership of Brother Alphabet, the Bucks have won 4 consecutive games and come to the second place in the East, so this game is destined to be a pin-point game against Mai Mang, no matter who wants to win, it is not so easy.
Alphabet brother helpless
At the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams showed great strength, the Bucks took the lead in the stand out is not The Alphabet Brother, nor Middleton, but Holliday, 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-4 shooting, Middleton scored 9 points on 4-of-5 shooting, Alphabet Brother only had one shot, the Bucks shot 34 points in a single quarter, the Suns also scored 31 points, and Ayton scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 4-of-4 shooting. After returning from the second quarter, the Bucks' offensive feel dropped, scoring only 22 points in a single quarter, and the Suns seized the opportunity.
Chris Paul didn't score in the first quarter, but in the second quarter he blasted down nine points, four rebounds, five assists and one steal to lead the Suns to an eight-pointer at halftime to a 64-56 victory over the Bucks. In the second half, Paul continued to send assists, whether it was Ayton or Biyombo, they were unstoppable under Paul's needle lead, and Paul sent 6 assists in a single quarter. Budenholzer could only use foul tactics, but the point difference was still widening. After Cameron Johnson's dunk, the Suns ended the third quarter with a 20-point lead.
Such a huge point difference, the opponent is the first sun in the league, which basically declares that the game has completely lost suspense. Paul controlled the court, and then took 4 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists in the last quarter, anyway, just a requirement, at least win the Bucks by more than 20 points. In the end, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 131-107 and successfully completed their revenge.
Paul dreamed back to the top
Fans familiar with Chris Paul know that he is a player with a vendetta. Facing the opponents in last season's finals, Paul did not show the slightest mercy, and the data of 17 points, 7 rebounds and 19 assists once again let us see his strength. Under Paul's leadership, the Suns scored in double figures for seven players, with the highest scoring being Ayton, with 27 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block, as well as shooting 12-of-14 shooting. Booker also had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Bridges 18 points, 2 assists and 2 steals, and the Suns delivered 35 assists and only eight turnovers.
For comparison, the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, with only 18 assists and 14 turnovers, is Paul's value to the team. Middleton had 21 points and three assists, Holliday also had 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and The Alphabet Brother was helpless, facing Ayton's defense, only 18 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists on 5-of-14 shooting. I have to say that in this game, the Suns won thoroughly, but the Bucks still have a big Lopez in the recovery, and when he returns, the Bucks' interior line will not be bullied by the Suns.
