The Battle of The Suns vs Pelicans on Tennoyama showed a one-sided situation, the Suns led by 12 points in the first quarter, pulled 13 points after halftime, the Pelicans only recovered the 2-point gap after the third quarter, and the Suns opened the point difference again in the last quarter to finally lead 3-2. After this campaign, the probability of the Suns advancing to the second round increased to 91%, the Pelicans wanted black eight has become a piece of paper, and the Suns without Booker are still strong. Bridges was the first contributor to 4-of-17 12 + 4-of-4 three-pointers for 31 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks.
The second hero of this game must be Chris Paul, who constantly delivered cannonballs to Ayton and Bridges, Paul scored 22 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals in 39 minutes of the game, 8 of 18, shooting 44.4%.
Although the point guard god was once again defended by Alvarado for an 8 seconds before half-time, that ball was his only mistake in the game, 11 assists and 1 turnover, what else do you want him?
He scored 22+11 assists, becoming the only player in the playoffs this season to deliver at least 10 assists per game.
He also joined James, the Magic, as the third player in NBA history to have at least 20 points and 10 assists in 31 playoff games. World War I set two more records.
The most anti-heavenly is that Paul still has 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the last quarter, everyone knows that he has scored 19 points in the last quarter of two games before, and paul currently averages 10.2 points per game in the last quarter of the series, the shooting rate is as high as 62.1% The highest in the top ten, and there are 3 assists in the last quarter is also the first in the league, saying that he is the god of point guards has no problem, right?
Paul also helped the Suns continue their unbeaten run, leading the third quarter into the final quarter to complete a 50-0 loss (the 2020 Lakers are 57-0); limiting opponents below 100 points to 48-0, both of which are league bests.
However, the Pelican reporter was unhappy with Paul's move, that is, Paul kicked Alvarado's crotch, and he believed that the league should make a new judgment on Paul's move tomorrow, and he felt that Paul should be punished.
After Paul arrived, Booker had MVP strength, Bridges had DPOY strength, and Ayton also became the league's top center, and it had to be said that CP3 was really powerful.
