On April 20, Beijing time, when Booker scored 31 points in the first half of the game, he was limited to 1 shot and only 0 points in the third quarter. Booker's rapid decline stemmed from his hamstring injury and his early injury when monty put on the bench in the final quarter, and Monty said he would observe his condition after the game.
Booker opened a crazy first-half mode, he played all 12 minutes in the first quarter, dedicated 6 of 10 crosshairs, and fired 16 points in a single quarter to be unstoppable, especially a single quarter of a person who blasted 4 three-pointers, and also hit a whistle-back shot, which was amazing at the scoring strength of the "King of the First Quarter".
Unexpectedly, Booker's offensive power continued to highlight in the second quarter, he only played 5 minutes and 22 seconds, and then he once again blasted 15 points on 6 of 8, especially three three-pointers on the outside. Booker played just 17 minutes and 22 seconds in the first half, and has already effectively scored 31 points on 12-of-18 shooting, including seven three-pointers from the outside, becoming the first player in Suns history to do so.
Just into the second half of the game, Booker only missed one shot in the third quarter, and his single quarter 0 points were sluggish. Booker's slump is not only the opponent's defensive limitation, but also his own injury attack, he was directly put on the bench by Monty in the last quarter, because of the hamstring injury, the Sun officially announced that he retired early, and Booker also sat on the bench with a cold face to watch the game.
According to Meiji, Suns coach Monti revealed in an interview that Booker may have suffered a hamstring injury and will observe and learn more about him after the game.
