The Suns are at the top of the league this season, and the only team to win more than 60 wins, it can be said that it is the only ranking in the whole league, and it has locked the playoffs early, quietly watching the four teams fight each other, and finally ushered in the challenge of the Pelicans.
The gap between Tinghu and the Suns is not a star and a half, the two sides have a big gap in terms of overall personnel strength and playoff experience, the old cannon Paul scored 19 points in the last quarter of the first game of the series to defeat the Pelicans, after a game, almost all the voices are very optimistic that the Sun can sweep the Pelicans, but in the second game, there has been a big change, with Paul's nemesis, Foster referee became the referee of this game, Foster can be described as Paul's bitter lord.
Paul, who was still playing for the Rockets, faced the Warriors in the playoffs, it was the appearance of foster referees to further confirm his title of Paul's nemesis, in the playoff games that Paul participated in, there were Foster's blow-off games, Paul only achieved 2 wins and 16 losses, and now 13 games have been lost 13 consecutively, and the same is true in this game, it seems that Paul can not reach this hurdle after all. The Suns had a great chance to win the game, Paul could finally cross the Forster hurdle, Booker stood up in the first half, frantically cut 31 points, and the three-point shot directly ignited the atmosphere at home.
Unfortunately, Paul and the Suns' luck is really too bad to score 31 points in the first half, the entire third quarter is basically not involved in the attack, and the fourth quarter is directly absent because of hamstring problems. Although the Pelicans are young, they do not lack talent, especially with Willy Green, a very good head coach as the assistant coach of the Suns that year, he is very familiar with this Sun, the crazy consumption of this game Paul brought a very big effect to the team, Ingram incarnated as the God of Death crazy wielding a scythe, the final quarter of the decisive moment without mercy, directly won the game.
When Ingram played for the Lakers, there were also some conflicts with Paul, which was also a lot of noise, and now Ingram has grown into a star, and gave himself a head-on blow in such a crucial battle, and what is worse is that Booker's hamstring strain is not good enough to miss the entire series, and fans also feel that Sao Paulo is too sad.
