Beijing time on May 7, the G3 between the Lone Ranger and the Suns came to an end, this game, back at home of the Lone Ranger changed the previous two downturns, came up to the Suns to exert physical confrontation, the change in strategy also achieved the expected results, Paul under their tough defense constantly made mistakes, the point guard god instantly transformed into the king of mistakes, the first half of the 7 mistakes directly set a new career high in the playoffs. In the end, the Dallas laughed to the end, they beat their opponents 103-94 to win back a city and rewrite the total score to 1-2.
Although the victory was achieved, the process can be said to be a twist and turn, after all, the Suns are the number one team in the league, and Paul and Booker are not vegetarians. During the game, Doncic's movements on the field sparked a wide range of heated discussions. Before the end of the first half, Paul made Doncic offensive fouls, who were dissatisfied with the penalty and imitated Paul's classic actions; the fourth foul was blown in the middle of the third quarter, and Doncic made a gesture of "collecting money" when he came off the court; shortly after the beginning of the fourth quarter, Doncic's Grand Slalom wanted to create Paul's foul, and the latter completed the steal, he looked in disbelief, questioning why the referee did not blow, and CP3 in turn caused Kleber to foul.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, Doncic and Crowder confronted the referee who was blown the fifth offender, and he once again compared the referee's gesture of "collecting money". Among these penalties, the referee's last blow was indeed inexplicable, and Doncic's anger was understandable. However, at that time, the Lone Ranger was already far ahead of the opponent, and Doncic was a bit impetuous and very immature to make such a move at such a moment. There is no doubt that Doncic will pay a heavy price for his two gestures, and if he counts them twice, then Doncic will pay a fine of at least $30,000.
This was just the beginning, and It is reported that Crowder even began to appeal to the league, demanding a ban for Doncic. Claude believes that Doncic's gesture is a blasphemy and insult to the referee, and it is twice, and it should be severely punished, used to kill chickens and monkeys, otherwise everyone is like him, the majesty of the referee will no longer exist, and the fairness of the game will be lost. Crowder believes that Doncic's big loop action is to learn Harden to touch porcelain, not Paul, and in the last two-person card position, Claude said that Doncic was obviously suspected of similar to a fake fall, when he did not exert force at all.
But the latter's movements and expressions are very exaggerated, as if he has been hit by a heavy punch, And Crowder claims that Doncic's various behaviors have crossed the line, and if he does not taste some of the power, then in the future, he may continue to make the same move in the game, and other NBA players will follow suit, which will bring bad league atmosphere. Once Claude's plan succeeds, it will be a fatal blow to the Lone Ranger, with Doncic, the Lone Ranger is still in the ascendant, without Doncic, they are not opponents of the Sun at all.
In G3, Doncic scored 26 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists, which is the absolute hero of the team's victory, And Crowder performed well, contributing 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, becoming a fig leaf for the Suns. The two sides have wrestled in this series, and now it's up to the NBA to respond. However, usually such a move will only fine, will not be banned, but Doncic made two "collect money" gestures, it is indeed unsightly.
