On April 20, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs G2, the Suns lost to the Pelicans 114-125 at home, and the big score was pulled to 1-1. In this game, Booker blasted 31 points at halftime, but left the field with a hamstring injury in the third quarter. The Pelicans relied on the strong play of Ingram and CJ to pull the big score 1-1 on the road!
In this campaign, the Suns have a great chance of winning. In the first half in particular, Booker slashed 31 points with zero free throws, and no one would have imagined that the Suns would eventually lose to the Pelicans. But some fans mentioned that the referee of this game is the whistle Scott Foster. Paul meets Scott Foster in the playoffs, basically losing more and winning less.
Today's game once again confirms this view. According to statistics, in the playoffs that Scott Foster blew, Paul participated in the total record of 2 wins and 17 losses. In the last 14 games, Scott Foster's home guard game, Paul has lost all of them.
As the god of point guards, Paul has not won a championship in his career so far. In the playoffs, Paul always encounters all kinds of strange things, such as teammates with hamstring injuries. In today's game, the "nemesis" Scott Foster appeared at the same time as the hamstring injury, and the loss of Paul and the Suns became inevitable. Is this really NBA metaphysics?
