On April 29, Beijing time, the NBA playoff Suns made a guest appearance against the Pelicans. Previously, the Suns led 3-2, and another win in this battle will advance to the Western Conference semifinals. However, the Pelicans played a very tenacious fighting spirit and stayed with the sun until the final moments of the game. But Paul played a perfect game, 14 of 14 of 14, 33 points, 8 assists and 5 boards! At key moments, Paul helped the Suns lock in the win with assists and points, worthy of the point guard god! In the end, the Suns won 115-109 and eliminated the Pelicans 4-2 to advance.
In the whole game, Paul maintained a 100 percent shooting percentage of 14 of 14, and exploded with 33 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. Paul tried his hand at the first half and scored 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting at the half. In the third quarter, Paul ushered in an explosion, and in the single quarter, he was 6 of 6 and blasted 13 points and 3 assists. By the end of the third quarter, Paul had scored 23 points on 10-of-10 shooting! And Paul almost single-handedly brought the score from behind to the top.
In the final quarter of the game, Paul still played without a false shot, raising his personal data to 13 of 13 shots! Paul also set a record for the most consecutive shots in the playoffs since 1997. And at the most critical moment of the game, Paul showed his foundation - passing!
He first assisted Ayton's empty-air dunk, followed by an assist to Booker's three-pointer! With Bridges countering a dunk and Paul making two foul throws, the Suns led by six points at 110-104! Nance then played 2+1. But it's Paul again, no solution shot and then hit, 14 of 14! Ingram responded, but there was not enough time to play. Booker's free throws were solid and the Suns sealed the win.
For Paul, 37, he did everything he could at this age. And this game, Booker's multiple handling of the ball at key moments was disappointing. In the case that Booker's injury has not healed, in the next game, the Suns also need to clarify the controller of the key moment, not Booker, but need to rely on Paul.
