The Suns and the Lone Rangers' Western Conference Semifinals second game, the final powerful Suns won a big victory 129-109 at home, most of them are currently 2-0 ahead of the Lone Rangers, the Suns have basically mastered the initiative of the series. In this game, Doncic once again became the king of the air, he shot 13 of 22, 5 of 10 three-pointers, cut 35 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, but there was still no way to lead the team to a valuable victory. In the last game, Doncic averaged 33.4 points per game in the playoffs, tying the all-time number one Jordan. After this game, Doncic averaged 33.5 points per game in the playoffs, reaching the first place in history.
As the proud son of heaven in 2018, Doncic's talent is really visible to the naked eye, he does not have the physical quality of James, but with his super high basketball IQ and shooting feel, he became a top superstar in his second season in the league and was selected for the first team of the best team. And in his second season, he led the average strength of the lone ranger in the strong west to fight a bloody road, into the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Lone Rangers' playoff opponents in the last three years have been strong, and the Clippers of Leonard and Paul George in the first two years have made Doncic understand what it means to be two-fisted and four-handed. This year, the Lone Ranger finally managed to break through the first round, but the 37-year-old Chris Paul arranged the Lone Ranger clearly, and Paul used his accurate shooting and excellent organization to warn the Lone Ranger crowd to make you uncle or your uncle.
The two semi-final matches between the Lone Ranger and the Suns, in fact, before the first three quarters, the Lone Ranger's performance was not even worse than the Suns, but as long as it entered the fourth quarter, the Advantage of the Suns was reflected. The Suns' defense and interior heights pained the Lone Ranger, and Paul's accurate shot in the fourth quarter gave the Lone Ranger a fatal blow. In the first game, the Lone Ranger went into the fourth quarter with a three-point advantage, but the Suns blasted down 35 points in the fourth quarter to eventually defeat the Lone Ranger. In the third quarter of the second game, the Lone Ranger trailed the Suns by only 6 points, but the Suns shot 16 of 19 in the fourth quarter and shot 40 points, and a wave of streams took away the game. In these two games, Doncic scored 45 points in one game, 35 points in one game, and 80 points in two games, but still failed to win a victory. After the game, Doncic's back looked so lonely.
The strength of the Lone Rangers and Suns is indeed too big, the 37-year-old Paul is still one of the top point guards in the league, and he also has Kobe Bryant's successor Devon Booker, the 2018 double-double Ayton, and the top defensive expert Bridges, And The performance of Crowder, Payne, McGee and others is also remarkable. And who is around Doncic? In addition to Brunson, Dinwiddie, Finney Smith, and Powell were embarrassed. Judging by the strength of the two teams in the first two games, if there is no accident, the Sun will sweep the Lone Ranger to advance to the final without suspense.
If the Lone Rangers don't recruit some All-Star players in the offseason, they may not be able to break through from the West in the next few seasons. After many playoff losses, no one can guarantee that he will follow james and Durant and leave Dallas to join a competitive team. There's really not much time left for the Lone Ranger!
