The NBA playoffs continued, and the Lone Ranger's game against the Suns G1 officially began. I believe that almost all fans before the game will predict that the Suns will be able to win this game, after all, the overall strength of the Suns is far stronger than that of the Lone Rangers. Sure enough, after the game began, the sun quickly took the initiative on the field. The offensive end plays very smoothly, and the defensive end can well limit the Lone Ranger's attack. At the end of the first half, the Suns took a double-digit lead. Even into the second half, the Suns still have a firm grip on the advantage on the pitch. In the end, after four quarters of the game, the Suns defeated the Lone Ranger 121-114 to give the series a 1-0 lead.
Objectively speaking, the Suns deserved to win this game. The reason is that the sun does a very good job of controlling the details. Below, take you to see a few sets of data that you will understand. Rebounding: The Suns grabbed 51 rebounds and the Lone Ranger 36 rebounds. In terms of assists: The Suns gave 27 assists in the whole game, and the Lone Ranger only had 16 assists in the whole game. Shooting percentage: The Suns shot 50% from the field, 39% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throws. The Lone Ranger shot 46 percent from the field and just 72 percent from the free throw line. In the face of these data comparisons, I just want to say that the Suns won deservedly, because they did a great job of controlling the details.
Well, after talking about the sun that wins, let's talk about the lone ranger who loses. As for the reasons for the Lone Ranger's loss, I will not give you a detailed explanation here, and this article I want to focus on giving you a focus on the player Doncic. I don't know, what do you think of Doncic in this game? Anyway, my evaluation of Doncic is only 4 words, that is, "although defeated, it is still glorious." Doncic played 44 minutes in the game, shooting 15-of-30, including 4-of-11 from three-point range and 11-of-14 from the free throw line, with 45 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block. Yes, you read that Right Doncic is scoring 45 points while shooting 50 percent. Next, I will talk about Doncic from the three aspects of struggle, helplessness, and perseverance.
First of all, the fans who have watched the game will know how hard Doncic fought in this game. Doncic played very hard since the start of the game and carried the team on his shoulders. One of the statistics that best reflects Doncic's fight is his 44 minute playing time, especially when he entered the second half of the Lone Ranger's big score behind, Doncic did not rest for 1 second. Doncic tried his best on the offensive end, and Doncic also led by example on the defensive end. All in all, this game Doncic did everything he could, this game Doncic has also done his best, although we should give him applause even if we lose.
After talking about hard work, let's talk about perseverance. Doncic was injured in the thigh at one point in the final quarter of the game, and he was also limping on the field. In this case, Lone Ranger head coach Kidd also wanted to replace Doncic to give him a break, but Doncic refused. He finished the game with an injury, and he almost created a reversal with an injury. Finally, there is helplessness. To borrow a phrase from the on-site commentator, it is: "Who else can Doncic trust at the critical moment"? I have to say that this sentence completely speaks of Doncic's situation, in the game into the decisive moment Doncic really has no one to believe around, he passed the ball out teammates can not score, he does not pass the ball The sun will continue to wrap up, seeing such Doncic really sorry for him.
I believe that fans who see here will also ask, if Doncic has performed so well, why did the Lone Ranger lose the game? In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, that is, although Doncic is very powerful, Paul of the Sun is very stable. Paul played 28 minutes and shot 7-of-13, including 2-of-5 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free throw line, with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Although the data is not as shiny as Doncic, Paul's key lies in his stability, in his harvesting game in the final moments. Especially when the Lone Ranger launched a counterattack, Paul firmly took the advantage in his own hands, to borrow a phrase we often say, "It's not that you're not strong enough, it's that the opponent is too cunning."
