On April 25, Beijing time, another "58" tragedy occurred! The Suns and Pelicans playoffs, the Suns lost 103-118 to the Pelicans, the series drew 2-2, they are going to play King Mountain, the first Sun in the West is going to be pulled off the horse? Paul scored only four points in this game, the lowest single-game score in the playoffs, and Paul scored four points in the last playoff game, or in the 2009 Nuggets vs Hornets 58 points tragedy. Of course, one of the big spots after this game, the free throws! Ayton alluded to the Suns' avoidance, and manager Monti was dissatisfied.
Directly on the content, after the game, sun Ayton asked: "What is the most prominent on the data sheet?" Ayton: "Rebounding, we're fouling, that's two points!" The conversation was asked about today's sentencing, Ayton: "A little strange! Compared to today's free throws, the Pelicans made 32 of 42 free throws, the Suns made 15 of 10, Ingram made 7 of 10 and Valanciunas made 7 of 11. Of course, the gap in free throws is very large!
Suns youngster Cameron Johnson said of the game after the game: "We have to improve the level of confrontation in our bodies, as long as they let us do it!" Speaking about the free throw gap between the two teams, Johnson: "I don't want to talk about this. "If a player has a big contract, he must dare to say, after all, he is not afraid of being fined, but for Johnson, who earns $4.43 million a year, it is a bit painful to talk about 1-20,000 yuan."
However, the Suns manager was very direct, Monti said after the game: "Today is, they have 42 free throws, we have 15, which is difficult to imagine in the playoffs! In the first half we had 2 free throws, they had 17, and then in the end they had 42, and it was hard to play like that! As a coach, I came to the microphone after the game to tell the truth, and I also hope that I will not be punished. ”
Even Monty gave an example! 'In the game, I got a T for thinking That Crowder didn't foul Ingram, and the Pelicans really deserved the win, but the free throw gap in the game was there.
There are dissatisfactions, but there is a fear of fines. However, the Pelicans rebounded 48 and the Suns 39 rebounds, and the Pelicans frantically stormed the inside under Ingram, and the Suns didn't do that well enough.
