On May 9, Beijing time, the Suns continued to challenge the Lone Ranger away from home in the series, and in the end, the Suns unfortunately lost to the Lone Ranger 101:111 away, and in the case of a huge 2:0 advantage at the beginning of the series, the big score of the series has now been successfully pulled by the Lone Ranger into a 2:2 draw. It is worth mentioning that paul, the main player of the Suns in this game, suffered foul problems early, and finally Paul, who played only 23 minutes in the whole game, left the game because of 6 fouls, and finally only handed over 4 shots and 2 shots of 5 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
Interestingly, Paul's scoring data for this game all came from the second quarter, and in the second quarter of the game, Paul successfully got 5 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists on 2-of-4 shooting, and in the second half, due to foul problems, Paul finally scored 1 point on the court. In fact, there is a saying, Paul's 6 foul moves in this game, which of them are body hair whistles? What are the real fouls? I believe that fans also have a opinion on this issue, but it is certain that Paul has always had a lot of small movements on the pitch, so once the referee strictly blows penalties, Paul is often very easy to become a key target player.
With Paul unable to play at full strength due to foul problems, Suns star Booker ended up with 35 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists on 10-of-22 shooting, and the team's starting interior center Ayton scored 14 points and 11 rebounds. And the Lone Ranger's signature star Doncic this campaign is successfully got 26 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, but Doncic's three-pointer data in this game is also quite bad, today Doncic's total is 10 three-pointers, such an efficiency performance is undoubtedly very sluggish, but fortunately in the end the Lone Ranger still successfully won the series.
At present, although the Suns have recently lost to the Lone Ranger twice in a row, the outside world still feels that the Suns will successfully advance to the Western Finals stage. In the US media's semi-final promotion probability prediction, the Suns now have a high probability of promotion of up to 73%, compared with the current probability of the Lone Ranger's promotion is only 27%. To be fair, as long as Paul doesn't have a lot of mistakes and fouls in the future, basically the Suns can still win the final victory of the series, after all, the overall strength and performance of the Suns this season are still very trustworthy!
