On April 20, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs Suns played out against the Pelicans. Throughout the game, Crowder was 2-of-11 and 0-of-5 from three-point range, scoring only 5 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Not only that, but he was also blown up by Ingram, who had 37 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, and 26 points in the second half. The sun's number one evil man dropped the chain, so it was not impossible to fight the pelican black eight.
In the first game against the Pelicans, the Suns' number one evil man, Claude, won. Throughout the game, he got a strange stat of 1 point, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block, becoming the first "4 Mr. 1" in NBA playoff history.
Such data is naturally embarrassing. In fact, just after the last Suns won, Paul, who scored 19 points in the fourth quarter, has already reminded his teammates that "not every game will work, and hopefully the next game others will come forward." ”
As the team's starting small forward Claude is naturally also a player who needs to stand up. However, with 4:35 left in the third quarter, Crowder was replaced early, at which point he scored just 3 points on 1-of-10 shooting and 5-of-5 on three-pointers. Although Crowder grabbed 6 rebounds and delivered 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks, he could not hide his sluggish feel.
Crowder finally shot the second goal of the game in the fourth quarter, but with 1 minute and 25 seconds left, he made a fatal mistake. In the end, the Suns were upset and lost at home.
