For the NBA's playoffs, it has now competed for the final four of the division, that is, the strongest quarterfinals. These teams, all of which are teams that have reached the semi-finals of the division, need to compete for places in the divisional finals. Such eight teams, eventually 4 teams, will definitely be eliminated. So, which teams are not working? This is worth noting. At the moment, there is no answer. The second round of the playoffs will start on May 2, which means that it has not yet begun.
Among these eight teams, the Suns are not the same. That is, their core defender Booker was injured at one point. In this reality, Paul stepped forward and performed on the pitch like a core defender who not only organized, but was able to score. In this way, the pressure is much less for Booker.
However, when Booker was absent, everyone knew that in such a team, Booker's value was still very large, especially in the playoffs. Paul and Booker are combined, and the energy of the combination of the 2 of them is greater than the energy of the 2 of them. This is still very interesting. Anyway, now the two are leading the team to reach the semi-finals of the division again, which is certainly very happy for Booker. Before, he didn't know what the playoffs were, but now? When Paul arrived, he not only knew what the playoffs were, but what it was like to have the Finals. For him, he definitely hopes to be more involved.
After the Suns advanced to the Western Conference semifinals, there were also revelations on the Internet, that is, according to reporter Brian Windhorst, during the first round of visits to New Orleans, Paul set a curfew for the whole team. "The decision on the curfew was not made by the coaching staff, but by Paul himself. Paul even arranged rooms for his teammates and watched other playoff games with them at the hotel in the evenings, playing cards in the room in his spare time. ”
Such a thing proves Paul's leadership value, not only on the pitch, but also on the pitch. Such Paul must be the leader of the dressing room. There should be no suspense about this. As a fan, I also admire this. That is, Paul's emphasis on the playoffs is indeed very high. He doesn't have a championship, he needs it. But in fact, as long as there are athletes with fighting spirit, they should all have a desire for the championship.
And to compete for the championship, the necessary self-discipline is naturally needed. For Paul, the fact that his career can remain in this state must have its own secret. Personally, I still feel that the self-discipline behind Paul must be a very important factor. Because, for the average athlete, there is certainly no such discipline as Paul.
So, so far, there is only one Paul, and the other athletes, it seems that there are still many, these are natural things. In any case, as a fan, there must be admiration for such a Paul. Because, without such Paul, the world of the NBA will always be less exciting. Today, Paul is a legendary player.
The Suns advanced, and the US media said that Paul issued a curfew ban on the whole team! Fans: No wonder you can't get along with Harden. Sometimes, as a fan, the necessary humor cells still have to be there. For example, ridiculing Harden seems very interesting at such a time, do you say?
