As the first sun in the west, it is very likely that it will be black eight by the pelicans, is Paul once again caught in the curse of no crown? In this regard, fans said: Booker hurt his calf, Paul hurt his thigh!
Last season's Suns made it all the way to the Finals, but were eventually subdued 4-2 by the Bucks led by Alphabet Brother, and Paul once again missed the championship.
Although Paul's ball is highly criticized, he has to admit that he is a very good point guard, he has excellent ball control organization ability, breakthrough sharpness, super assist ability, with Paul's team, it has the ability to win the championship, but Paul has no crown so far, so there is a "Paul no crown curse".
Paul has played for the Hornets, Clippers, Rockets, Thunder, and now with Booker in the Suns Championship. Many of Paul's teammates in the Hornets era won the championship, and Paul kept changing teams to complete his championship goals, but he also made a lot of money, which was much better than Anthony, who was also fighting for the championship. Paul is now on the top salary, and Anthony is on the base.
In the first round of the new season's playoffs, the Suns' opponents are the Pelicans, who entered the playoffs through two playoffs. Speaking of pelicans, everyone may think that after walking the thick eyebrows, this team will have a harder time entering the playoffs. What I didn't expect was that Ingram grew up very fast after going from the Lakers to the Pelicans. After mcCollum this season, the team's combat ability has improved.
The sun meets the pelicans, and before the game everyone thought that the pelicans would be scorched by the sun. The Suns managed to take the Pelicans in the first leg, and the situation seemed to be really going as everyone predicted. However, in the second round, the Suns, lacking the offensive core Booker, were blocked by the Pelicans' wingspan, losing the game 114-125, and the big score came to 1-1.
According to the latest news, Booker's calf is a first-degree strain and is estimated to be absent for another 2 to 3 weeks. By then, the battle between the Pelican and the Sun is over, and the Sun is likely to give the Pelicans the possibility of creating the Black Eight Miracle.
The two cores of the Sun are naturally Paul and Booker. When Paul did not come, Booker single-core led the team, not to mention winning the championship, the playoffs are difficult, after Paul came, the two played a 1+1>2 effect. In other words, if the Suns want to play well, Paul and Booker are indispensable. Booker's individual combat ability is super strong, and he is young and physical, without Booker, opponents will focus on Paul. No matter how strong Paul is, he will be consumed by the Pelicans to the point of powerlessness, after all, he is 37.
For Booker's injury, fans said: Booker hurt his calf, Paul hurt his thigh! This sentence is not friendly, and Paul of 37 can still string the suns together to have the ability to win the championship, which is already remarkable. Hopefully, the other players of the Suns will be able to stand up in Booker's absence, fight together for the championship, and wait for Booker's return.
