The Lone Ranger scored 20 three-pointers and the Suns lost 2 straight! Paul was targeted by the referee, and Kidd's two moves were too fierce

On May 9, Beijing time, the Lone Ranger continued to face the Sun at home, the Lone Ranger fell behind 1-2, if they could not defend this home, they would face a 1-3 desperate situation. On the other hand, if they can win 2 consecutive wins at home, the two teams will usher in the battle of Tianwangshan, so this game cannot be lost against the Lone Rangers.

Both sides knew the importance of the game, so they fought hard, and soon after the start of the game, Doncic and Booker both suffered technical fouls, but the lone ranger who played at home quickly found the feel, and the three-point rain of the outside line played a wave of 17-5, leading by 12 points in the first quarter.

The second quarter of the lone ranger feels the same, but the sun also relies on multi-point flowering to maintain the score difference at about 10 points. The leak in the house coincided with the overnight rain, paul who suffered two fouls in the first quarter, and two fouls in the second quarter, and the situation began to be delicate.

Since then, Paul's number of fouls has become the main focus of the court, in the third quarter Paul only played 2 minutes to get the fifth offense, Booker did not resentfully led the team to chase desperately, a single quarter of 10 points, and finally at the end of the third quarter to chase the point difference to 9 points.

But in the fourth quarter, Paul only played 1 minute and then graduated with 6 fouls, and the Lone Ranger's outside three-point firepower did not decrease, and finally the whole team shot 20 three-pointers, pouring out the Suns with three-point rain. At the end of the game, the Lone Ranger 111-101 Suns, the two sides of the big score to 2-2 draw!

Let's take a look at the data of this field:

On the Suns' side, Booker had 35 points, 7 assists, 4 fouls, Paul 5 points, 7 assists, 6 fouls, Crowder 15 points, 6 boards and 4 fouls, Ayton 14 points and 11 rebounds, Bridges 6 points and 4 fouls, mcGee 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 fouls.

On the Lone Rangers' side, Doncic had 26 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals, Electric Fans 24 points, 8 rebounds and 8 three-pointers, Brunson 18 points and 4 assists, Bertance 12 points and 4 three-pointers, Kleber 11 points and 7 rebounds, and Dinwiddie 10 points and 4 assists.

Paul's foul is not a topic that can be bypassed, Paul only played a total of 23 minutes in this game to directly 6 fouls graduation, and only played about 3 minutes in the second half. Paul is the brain of the whole Sun, and he is not present, neither Ayton McGee nor the pitchers on the outside, get the best chance to finish, forced to increase the number of individual ball-holding offenses, so Ayton and Crowder each made 4 turnovers.

At the same time, the most pressure on the ball was transferred to Booker, Who was good enough, requiring him to attack personally and lead his teammates, and the defensive pressure on the lone ranger's outside line was mostly poured on him, and Electric Fan, Bullock, Bronson, and Dinwiddie were simply wheel wars.

In this case, Booker still used 22 shots to do 35 points and 7 assists, and the second half was full except for the final garbage time, although there were 5 turnovers, but you can't ask him to do more.

So going back to the source, how did Paul's 6 sins come about?

First quarter: Opening Paul weak side to make up for the basket, Doncic hanging the electric fan empty, Paul fouled; in the middle paul held the ball to single out Kleber, Kleber was passed, Doncic made up the position, Paul passed to the empty Bridges, the hand was pulled to Doncic's face during the fall, the second offense.

Quarter 2: In the final quarter, Doncic backplayed Paul, Paul tried to create an offensive foul when defending but his hand touched Doncic's torso, the third offense; in the last 0.5 seconds, Paul and Doncic grabbed the rebound foul, the fourth offense. Both of Paul's fouls were concentrated in the last 2 minutes.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Paul snatched Bronson to cause him to commit a foul in the rear, and was convicted of an offensive foul, the fifth offense; in the fourth quarter, when Paul just came on the court, when Bronson threw himself, he pulled Bronson's right hand with his right hand, the sixth offense.

Strictly speaking, Paul's 6 fouls were not a problem to catch according to the rules, so does that mean that the referee blew well?

In fact, the referee's duty is not to take a magnifying glass to blow out every foul, because basketball is a sport with physical contact, and it is impossible to clean every round. The main responsibility of the referee is to grasp the scale and rhythm of the field and let the game go smoothly and smoothly.

If the referee wants to blow the athlete, he must be able to make the outside world speechless, but the key lies in the scale. If according to the referee's scale for Paul's current game, at least half of the people in the East are freed, how will the game be played?

The Suns are not the only one who has been troubled by fouls, except for Ayton, the rest of the people in the starting lineup have committed at least 4 fouls, and the main center of the bench has played less than 10 minutes and also received 4 fouls.

That's why the Lone Ranger made 44 three-point shots, nearly 20 more than the Suns, and is clearly more offensively close to the outside, but the number of free throws is about the same as the Suns.

The Suns quickly entered "BONUS status" because of the number of fouls, and many of their non-shooting fouls turned into free throws.

Of course, I'm not saying that the Lone Rangers won the game entirely on the referee. The Suns are still the strategy of the previous games, pinching the Lone Ranger's internal score to empty the outside line, to bet that the Lone Ranger cannot be accurate forever.

Kidd took over, Powell only played less than 10 minutes this time, to put it bluntly, it is to be small to large, outside to inside, he bet his players are accurate enough.

In the end, the Sun bet lost, the Lone Ranger shot 20 of 44 from the outside, leaving aside Doncic's 10 of 10, role players 19 of 34, and Electric Fan scored 8 alone, which was too accurate.

At the same time, Doncic ceded some of the ball to Bronson, allowing him to play more of his role as a commando. Bronson averaged 14 shots in the first two games and 19 in the last two, so Bronson survived.

This is all a good strain of the lone ranger, but it is drowned in the whistle, it should not be!

I can understand the league's approach, but it is really unnecessary to be so ugly. Of course, the heat must have been full...

Thanks for reading it all!
