On May 16, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and in a Western Conference semifinal that has ended, the Lone Ranger successfully defeated the Suns 123-90 on the road to grab seven. This season's NBA playoffs are definitely the most exciting playoffs in recent years, each group of showdowns has played a certain suspense, and the Celtics and Lone Rangers have eliminated last season's East and West champions. What's more, although only four teams will play the divisional finals, no team has a certain advantage at present and is considered to win the championship, and it is still unknown who will die.
Before he dies, he must win the championship, which is what the Suns star Paul once said, and through this sentence it is enough to see his competitive spirit and desire to win. But the ideal is very full, the reality is very bone, as the number one seed in the regular season league, the sun fell on the way to the semifinals this time. Paul is 37 years old, the reality is harsh, but it has to be said that last season's Suns reached the finals may be the closest to the championship of his career, and this season is out in such a way that Paul will rarely have a chance to get close to the championship again.
It is worth mentioning that during the Suns and Lone Rangers battle, there were also many players who paid attention to the game between the two sides, and former NBA player Jeremy Lin also commented on Paul on personal social media, saying: "Damn . . I wish Paul had won the championship before he retired, he definitely deserves a championship trophy," and Timberwolves player Beverley replied: "What do you mean you mean he deserves a championship?" Why is he worth it? Then Blazers star Lillard also echoed the comment: "It's really laughing at me."
Obviously, as a benchmark quality point guard, Paul's career has been respected by Jeremy Lin, but Beverley does not pay for it, perhaps he does not think that Paul is not worthy of the championship, after all, Jeremy Lin's view is indeed controversial, because there are many stars in the NBA who are worthy of championships, and Paul is nothing special. But for most people, there will be no comment on such a view, after all, it is not a matter of self-esteem, and Beverley's recoil of it is proof that he and Paul do not deal with each other.
What's more worth mentioning is that when the Suns were behind the Lone Rangers by a big score in this game, Beverley released a personal media in the game: "Everyone don't go and continue to pay attention, let's see who will pretend to be injured after the game." "No one understood what Beverley was trying to say, but it wasn't until a post-match news that made people realize that Beverley was actually a shocking prediction, and it actually came true. After the game, according to the famous Spoons report, Paul limped out of the arena at a very slow pace, he was suspected of suffering a left quadriceps injury, when asked by reporters about Paul's injury, Paul declined to comment. I have to say that Beverley's wave is really in the atmosphere, and what makes fans wonder more is how much hatred and resentment the two have, Beverley will actually target Paul so much.
