With the team performance of 5 people scoring in double figures, the G3 lone rangers who fought at home finally defeated the Suns 103-94, successfully completed their revenge, and also changed the semi-final score to 1-2, strongly pulling back a city at the same time, but also retaining the suspense of the series!
Rationally speaking, the G3 Lone Rangers can defeat the enemy, as the team's head coach, Kidd's on-the-spot command and response, obviously indispensable.
After all, throughout the game, Kidd's deployment on the defensive end, as well as the strategy of actively wrapping Up Paul, did have a visible effect.
At the same time, the G3 First Day Suns team no one scored more than 20, the team's overall shooting rate was less than 50%, almost the entire game was in the inferior position, and the Lone Ranger team also successfully limited the Suns' entire team's score to less than 100 points!
Of course, the G3 Lone Rangers were able to defend the home court to complete their revenge, and together they cut the two members of the 54 +17+14 major Players Brunson + Doncic, which also played a crucial leading role.
Brunson swept away the downturn in G1 and G2, scoring a game-high 28 points on 10-of-21 shooting in the first 35 minutes, plus an all-around performance of 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
And in the third quarter, he continuously hit the inside line to play aggressive, a single quarter to cut 10 points of the heroic performance, but also for the Lone Rangers to win the victory, laid a solid foundation!
I have to say that although Brunson's performance was once questioned in the first two games of the semi-finals, with the excellent performance of G3 and the support of home fans, Brunson also proved his value and role with practical actions and re-played his worth!
And G3 played against the Suns, as the team's star, Luka Doncic's play at both ends of the attack and defense also successfully affected the trend of the game.
In this game, although Doncic's 7-point shots from the outside were not good, and he was also plagued by fouls, with his super personal ability, Doncic still delivered a quasi-triple-double performance of 26+13+9+2.
While helping the Lone Rangers defend their home stadium, rationally speaking, the full play of the G3 first game Doncic is also the key to the Lone Rangers being able to suppress the Suns all the time!
More importantly, according to statistics, after scoring 26 points in the G3 game, Doncic's career playoff average has risen to an average of 33.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, shooting, three-pointing and free throw shooting rates of 49%, 39% and 64% respectively, which few players in the history of the league have been able to do.
At the same time, after the G3 game, Doncic also became the seventh in the history of the league, and the player who averaged 35 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in the first three games of the playoff single-round series can be said to have set a brilliant personal record!
Coupled with the main forces such as Bullock + Finney Smith + Kléber, the case of continuing a stable performance, there is no doubt that the G3 Lone Rangers can win the first battle and rewrite the semi-final score to a 1-2 performance!
In contrast, on the side of the Suns, the G3 team was comprehensively crushed at both ends of the attack and defense, and finally had no chance to reverse, drinking and hating the performance of the away game, which obviously disappointed many Sun fans.
Fortunately, for the Suns, G3 faced the high-intensity defense of the Lone Rangers in the first game, and the team was not completely without highlights and gains!
After all, in the case of Booker + Ayton + Bridges playing relatively poorly, the play of Paul + Crowder in this game is indeed remarkable.
Although there were as many as 7 personal turnovers in the game, the offensive end was extremely efficient, and he delivered 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal on 5-of-9 shooting.
It is worth mentioning that after G3 hit 2 three-pointers in a game, Paul's total number of three-point shots in the playoffs of his career also came to 229, officially surpassing Kawhi Leonard and ranking 19th in the history of the league, ushering in a major milestone moment in his career!
In addition, G3 faced the Lone Ranger team, Crowder can be described as full of firepower, starting 33 minutes, 7 of 12 shots to score 5 three-pointers, cut the team's highest 19 points, is the Suns can always bite the score key.
For the Suns, although the team still occupies the initiative of the series 2-1 in the big score, in the next key battle of G4, who will die on both sides is indeed still unknown!
