What else is there to say, tell Yuzu out loud, who is the god of point guards? There is nothing to say, Paul exploded again, to be precise, it can not be considered an explosion, only that the game was pinched by him again. The situation is such that Paul only had 11 points after the first three quarters of the game. Why only 11 points? Because it looks like the Suns were able to beat the Pelicans easily today, it's clear that the Suns won 12 points in the first quarter and 7 points in the second quarter, which is already a 19-point advantage, and Paul played very convergently. But in the third quarter, the Pelicans began to pay lip service, continuous chasing points, soaring points, it seemed to be a bit of a reversal of the meaning, the three quarters of the ball was played, the Pelicans saw the hope of overturning.
Then there was no more, watching the Pelicans start to catch up, Paul was finally unable to sit still, in a word: Take over the game! How to take over the game? Hitting three three-pointers in a row in the same position, Paul standing at the top of the arc is scoring three three-pointers, and that's not all. Paul made his signature mid-range, scoring two consecutive jumpers and two easy layups. Throughout the final quarter, Paul got 19 points, 2 assists and 1 steal on 7-of-8 shooting, and paul did not have 1 mistake in the entire final quarter, only 1 foul, and relied on his personal ability to win the game.
Honestly, does the Pelican have a chance to turn the tables today? There is indeed a chance, why do you say so? Because the Pelicans' interior advantage today is too big, big Varan slashed 18 points and 25 rebounds, including 13 frontcourt rebounds, the whole team got a total of 25 frontcourt rebounds, while the Suns only had 5 frontcourt rebounds, the Pelicans' advantage is infinite, but Paul's existence is like a reassuring pill, as long as the ball is in his hands in the last quarter, you will feel stable, especially the kind of shooting confidence is not convinced, the Pelicans are broken by Paul alone.
Paul played 35 minutes, shooting 12-of-16, 4-of-6 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free throw line for 30 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals. It's another game of speechlessness. The Suns this season are clearly developing potential from young people like Booker, Ayton and Bridges, who have decided the sun's ceiling. And what is Paul doing? The first three quarters are almost responsible for threading the needle, responsible for passing, driving the team, generally speaking, the Sun's first three quarters will be not small after playing, this time it is easy to win. Once the Suns are in crisis after the first three quarters, or there is a possibility of being reversed, then Paul will take over the game.
Paul's way of taking over the game is simple, and the same way of playing supergiant, it is singles! From mid-range to three-pointers, as long as it's the final quarter, Paul is like automatically improving efficiency, whether you serve or not, he can shoot those difficult balls. And what is worth mentioning? Paul is 37 years old this season, almost at an age when it's time to retire, but now the Suns can say that Booker is the core and Ayton is the core, but in the fourth quarter of the game, Paul is the real team brother, and when the team needs him to take over the game, he will be the first to stand up.
