On April 18, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, with the Suns beating the Pelicans 110-99 to lead 1-0 on aggregate. In this game, Paul broke out strongly in the final quarter, scoring 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting, including 17 points in a row.
Paul's outstanding performance has also been praised by a large number of NBA players, journalists and related media. However, some people praise Paul, and indeed they are impressed by his performance, but some people seem to have ulterior motives.
For example, the famous Jhanhei Skip Bayless wrote on his personal social media, "Paul is almost 37 years old, playing younger and younger in the best team in the league." And the 37-year-old James, with the Lakers missing the playoffs, has become old. ”
In addition, in the Bucks and Bulls game, DeRozan had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists on 6-of-25 shooting, Caruso had 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals on 3-of-7 shooting, Skip Bayless also spoke again, and this time, he not only hacked James, but also let Westbrook lay down the gun by the way.
"I just saw two players who were supposed to be Lakers who put the Bucks on the line at one point in Milwaukee. LeBron, however, wanted Westbrick and his two-year guaranteed contract for $44 million and $47 million, a decision that undermined the team. ”
Obviously, although there is no James in this year's playoffs, he still has a huge amount of traffic, which may be the reason why many games that are obviously not related to James, but he will still be forced to be involved.
