On March 25, Beijing time, Paul returned from injury after 15 games and taught the Young People of the Nuggets an unforgettable lesson. In this game, Paul once again interpreted what a real top point guard is. You know, Paul only scored 2 points in the first half, just when people thought Paul would fall into a slump this game, Paul in the second half began to exert his strength, he came up to hit the iconic mid-range, and then gave the Nuggets a bottom corner three-pointer, Paul's role in this section is not over, and soon, he assisted Ayton to complete an easy layup.
On the Nuggets side, the trio of Morris, Barton and Gordon kept causing trouble for the Suns, but Booker was hot in the hand and he returned the color with a stroke of the shot. Next, Paul used the killer skill, hit two consecutive mid-range shots, Jokic because of his heavy physique, not as brisk as Ayton, so he could not come out at all, could not go forward to assist in the blocking cover, three quarters down, Paul's data has come to 11 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists. In the final quarter, Booker didn't have many shots, and he only scored 6 points in a single quarter.
In this quarter, Paul and Bridges became the protagonists of the game, Paul came up and assisted Biyombo to score 2 points, and then gave Biyombo a beautiful pass, but Unfortunately Biyombo failed to hit. After Cousins scored two points on the basket, Paul first assisted Bridges in a three-pointer, and then hit the murderous mid-range, Jokic had no way to take him, and could only fill the gap on the defensive end by attacking. However, Bridges was bold in the final quarter, and the three-point shot was fatal, and the Suns finally beat their opponents 140-130 to win their 60th win of the season.
In this game, the Suns actually performed very generally on the defensive end, but due to their strong offensive firepower, the Nuggets have not been able to pull the point difference apart, just pulled to 13 points, the Suns immediately responded. Paul played the Nuggets has his own experience, because Jokic's pace is too slow, he used the cover of Ayton and Biyombo to create shooting space at once, and the middle shot is Paul's best play, once the opportunity appears, Paul will not let go, in the end, Paul 10 of 6, light 17 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists, the last quarter sent 6 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.
Paul has a steady possession, a steady pass, and a more stable mid-range, and there is now only one defender in the league. In terms of controlling the overall situation and grasping the key ball, Westbrook, Curry and even Harden and Paul still have a certain distance. After this campaign, Paul averaged 10.7 assists per game and Harden 10.2 assists per game, and according to the state of both sides, harden wants to keep this assist king too difficult, unless he can play earth-shattering, crying data. I have to say that although Paul does not score much, he can not only sort out the team's attack clearly.
And at the critical moment, he must be able to stand up, the sun's 30 million can be said to have signed a needle in the sea, which is the embodiment of Paul's value. As long as there aren't too many injuries, the Suns have a great chance to rush out of the West this season, and Paul is very promising to win his first NBA championship of his career.
