This season's NBA regular season has entered the final stage, the teams that have locked up playoff spots have also begun to lay out in advance to prepare for a more tragic playoff, for them, the most important goal of the remaining schedule is to let the core players avoid injury invasion through reasonable rotation, and also maintain the best competitive state, and in this regular season, the Suns and The Heat, who are in the position of the leaders of the East and West, meet in this peak battle, Both sides have core players absent, the leader of the Suns Paul is still in the recovery period, and the core of the Heat, Butler, is absent because of illness, but for the first place in the West, the biggest good news is the return of Mamba passer Booker in this game, this battle he and Ayton have played a very good personal performance, under the leadership of the two of them, the Suns in the third quarter of the attack and defense of the opponent, the single quarter blasted out a 34-19 offensive climax, and finally they also won 111-90 against the Heat, Proud of the east and west of the top battle, successfully ended the opponent's three-game winning streak!
The Heat can undergo qualitative changes, and the team management introduced Butler that year, injecting a tough style into the team has a lot to do with it, although Butler's personal data is not so exaggerated, but the impact of his appearance on the team is still very large, in this game and the Suns' strong dialogue, Butler's absence of the Heat's dominance at both ends of the attack and defense has a significant decline, defensive end they let the Suns grab 14 offensive rebounds, the total number of rebounds is also 38-55 in the disadvantage.
The offensive end of the Heat also did not play the past smooth overall offense, the starting lowry although sent 10 assists, but the whole team in the game had three people to score in double figures, Duncan Robinson in this game three-point feeling hot 8 shots 5, cut the team's highest 19 points, and as the main scoring point of the second lineup, Hiro, although also cut 17 points, but the personal offensive efficiency is not high, 20 shots only hit 7 goals, both offensive and defensive ends are in a passive situation, The first hate in the East has become a reasonable thing.
Paul was able to join the Suns, so that this team that did not qualify for the playoffs for many years, turned into the top powerhouse in the West, a very important reason is that he implanted the concept of overall basketball into the minds of all Suns players, and Payne, who replaced Paul as the starting point guard in this game, although his personal offensive efficiency is not high, also contributed 11 points and 10 assists double-double data.
And the game returned to the field of Booker, is the offense and organization of a shoulder, 7 shots outside the three-point line 4, contributed 23 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks of the comprehensive personal data, under the combing of the two of them, the Suns this campaign A total of six players scored in double figures, of which The Champion Lang Ayton cut 19 points and 10 rebounds on 9 of 10 shooting.
Paul has reached the end of his career, if because of his arrival, the suns' two young twin stars Booker and Ayton can grow up as soon as possible, this is the most willing thing for the team to see, through this game Booker and Ayton let everyone see their growth, but also let the fans see the hope of the post-Paul suns!
