After getting the second round of the series opener, the Phoenix Suns, who continued to play at home, once again completed a 20-point victory to make the Western Conference semifinals 2-0. In fact, Doncic's performance in the game was relatively good, and in the 36.3 minutes of playing, he shot 5-of-10 from three-point range and 13-of-22 from the field, delivering a game-high score of 35 points, as well as a luxurious number of 5 rebounds and 7 assists. However, starting players such as Bruns and Powell have been muted, and Doncic's explosive statistics can only be supported.
Continuing to shoot outside three-point shooting, the Lone Rangers have indeed achieved a certain advantage, but for the vast majority of the time, their shooting rate of outside three-point shooting is not high, and they were once reduced to chicken ribs. It seems that from beginning to end, the only player they can rely on steadily is Doncic. A game is not a one-man game, and basketball is not a one-man basketball. They have to recognize the reality that to win is not just a contribution from Doncic's 30-point score in a single game.
However, just as Doncic broke out and lost, the starting point guard on the Suns side once again played the technical level of a historic point guard. In the 36 minutes of the battle, Paul also sent 28 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. There is no doubt that paul, 37, can play like this, which has exceeded the perception of most people. Ending the G2 battle of the second round of the series, according to the statistical analysis of relevant data websites, Paul's NBA career has played with Doncic 10 times, and achieved a brilliant result of 9 wins and 1 loss!
It is said that Doncic is very strong and is expected to become a player like LeBron James, leading the trend and development of the league. But who would have thought that when he met the 37-year-old point guard God Chris Paul, Doncic would become the bitter master of successive losses. In fact, the Suns have many remarkable highlights in the process of winning the G2 war. Among them, including their journey this season, as long as they maintain the advantage of the score in the first three quarters, they will definitely win the final victory of the game. And, as of now, they have achieved a brilliant record of 52 wins and 0 losses.
With a 20-point win, the Suns' efficient shooting rate for this game also broke the team's single-game shooting rate in the playoffs! That's right, they made 76 shots in this game, hit 49 of them, and their shooting percentage reached 64.5%, reaching a new single-game shooting rate in the team's history. Unconsciously, the two teams have formed a sharp contrast, and the Suns are undoubtedly the one who is expected to advance to the Western Conference Finals. But how could Doncic compromise so easily? In an interview with the media, he bluntly said that as long as the Suns did not take the lead and win 4 games, everything still had a chance.
It is true that Doncic has the personal ability to create miracles, but only if his teammates can grab the opportunity to create miracles. That's right, in most of the races, Doncic's personal contribution has always been unique, far ahead of his teammates. How can Doncic, who can't get his teammates to relieve the corresponding pressure, get out of the bitter sea of losing?
