On May 5, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and the semifinals between the Suns and the Lone Rangers came to the second game. After a fierce battle between the two teams in the fourth quarter, the Suns defeated the Lone Rangers at home and took a 2-0 lead on aggregate in the series. Booker had 30 points, four rebounds and four assists, Paul had 28 points, six rebounds and eight assists, and Doncic had 35 points, five rebounds and seven assists.
Doncic scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in this game, still the best player on the team. With his personal bright performance, Doncic once rushed to the national hot search, occupying the top position of the list, causing heated discussion among fans. But his performance in the first and second half was judged by two people, which is also an important reason why the team collapsed in the fourth quarter and lost to opponents. In addition, he made 7 mistakes in the whole game.
Doncic performed bravely in the first half, scoring 24 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, setting a number of new personal records.
First, Doncic scored 24 points in the first half, and he scored a total of 50 points in the first half of the last two games;

Third, Doncic contributed 24 points and 6 assists in the first half, achieved 20+5 in the first half for the fifth time in his career, and finished third in the league since 1997, successfully equaling Curry's record.
But by the second half, Doncic was under the sun's key spotlight, and he didn't get too many shots. Doncic's personal form slipped extremely quickly in the second half, scoring 11 points on 4-of-8 and making four turnovers.
In the first quarter, Doncic showed a strong desire to attack, he had 6 of 10 in a single quarter, and he personally got a comprehensive stat of 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Although the Sun relies on players to blossom more at home and still occupies the initiative on the field, the Lone Ranger is not left behind. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led the Mavericks by four points at 32-28.
With 3 minutes and 18 seconds left in the first quarter, Doncic faced Cameron Johnson's defense, teased his opponent with dexterous steps, and then braved the opponent's defense to score 2+1. Doncic put on a fierce expression to celebrate after scoring a goal in the sports battle, and at this moment he was domineering. Fans ridiculed him for being domineering, but the flesh on his stomach was very eye-catching. At the beginning of the second quarter, Doncic continued his fiery state, scoring 10 points again in the single quarter to help the team reverse the score into the second half.
Easy side to fight again. Doncic was taken care of by the sun, and his personal condition plummeted, and he didn't even have the desire to shoot. He scored just two points on 1-of-3 shooting in the quarter, but made three turnovers. He returned to the dressing room after a break, but he seemed to be provoked by the words of the fans on the spot, and then turned back to choke the fans, where Doncic was obviously out of control. The Suns gradually widened the points gap in this quarter, and the third quarter ended, and the Lone Ranger trailed the Suns 83-89.
At the start of the final quarter, Doncic tried to increase his own shot, and he scored another 9 points in a single quarter. But Paul began to take over the game, and he led the team to a wave of offensive climax, stretching the point difference to more than 20 points, and the game gradually lost suspense. With 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game, the Lone Ranger replaced the main force and announced that he would abandon the game. In the end, the Lone Ranger collapsed in the final quarter, and the away defeat to the Suns was fiasco.
According to the schedule, the next match between the two sides will be held at the home of the Lone Ranger this Saturday morning Beijing time.
