On May 5, the NBA playoffs ended a focus battle, the Western Conference semifinals Suns vs Lone Rangers G2, and finally the Suns defeated the Lone Rangers 129-109, leading the series 2-0, and the prospects for promotion increased greatly. The turning point of the game came in the final quarter, the point difference between the two sides in the first three quarters was not pulled apart, and the sun played a wave under the leadership of Booker and Paul in the last quarter, directly expanding the advantage and the suspense of winning and losing disappeared early. In this way, the Sun defended 2 home stadiums after winning the G2, and the next two games were away, whether they could successfully get the match point or even sweep the opponent, it was full of points to watch.
The game was close to the point difference at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but what was not expected was that the Suns widened the point difference to more than 20 points in the next wave led by the efficient Booker and Paul. The last 4 minutes of the game also became garbage time, this game cut 35 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists Doncic was replaced in advance, when the camera was given to him, only to see Doncic was stunned, looking lonely, just like G1, Doncic won the data, but lost the game.
Doncic scored 45 points in the first game of the series, and today he scored 35 points, and scored 80 points in both games, but both were defeated by the Suns, and even one game was easier than the other, G1 If the Suns make consecutive mistakes, the Lone Ranger does not even have a chance in the last quarter. G2 is more obvious, even if Doncic tries his best, but the sun of the league's first sun is pulled apart in an instant.
This is the tactic that the Suns give to the Lone Ranger, that is, to let Doncic play, but to limit other players, so that even if Doncic can cut 40+ and 30+, even this battle Doncic alone scores more than the other 4 main players combined, but still can not win, from the current point of view, Monti's tactics are successful, they have led the Lone Ranger 2-0, the performance is very good.
There is no one in the lone ranger's interior line, coupled with the imperfect tactical system, all rely on the feel, once the three-point shot is not accurate, it is too difficult to think of the inside line to score. As the first Sun in the league, they rotate, change defense, supplement defense, and assist defense are all first-class, and the hit rate has always been very stable, so the strength gap between the two sides is very large.
It is worth mentioning that today, the Suns home field once again sounded the cry of "Suns in 4", hoping that the Suns can directly solve the battle in 4 games.
The next G3 is very important for both sides, the Lone Rangers must return to the home field to fight to the death, 0-2 behind in the case of they have no way to retreat, must defend the home field. The sun is in a good situation now, not only is the big score ahead, the morale is also stronger than the opponent, the next G3 and G4 are away games, can you withstand the pressure.
