The Suns beat the Hornets 105-91. The veteran Paul played 32 minutes in this game, and although he scored only 2 points on 1-of-8 shooting, he posted a game-high 11 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, with a plus-minus of +9.
The Durant Sun makes its perfect debut, and the nuclear weapons are coming!
After watching the whole game 8 shots, most of them were not strong shots, empty shots, layups did not score! Everyone knows that Paul's mid-range jump shot is the same as a layup, and now he is indeed incorruptible! But the Suns won easily, as Durant scored 23 points in 26 minutes.
Paul said: "I'm 38 years old and still playing in the top flight, it's already amazing. Now you don't have to attack the pass, the current team doesn't need to worry about me attacking the basket! ”
See no, I don't have to shoot much when Adu comes!
Paul's master of control is as stable as a dog, and if the Suns give it a lead of more than 10 points, the team that is not an explosive offensive force basically can't turn over! In the past, Paul was always called the "King of Reversals", and now it seems that this history will eventually pass with the addition of Durant!
Interestingly, in the first half, the Suns shot 26 of 48, including 5 of 12 from three-point range, all of which came from athletic battles and did not get a single free throw opportunity. This kind of team can't be defended at all, not to say by feeling, this is the basic skill of people, reaching the most basic hit rate has already overturned most teams! Don't look down on the shooting brigade? I think the Warriors were also called the shooting team, saying that they could never win the championship by shooting! The Warriors are shooting too accurately, leaving a stereotype, the Warriors' defense is very top-notch, and this is the quality that this Suns must have now, after all, defense can win the championship!
I always think the Suns are a strong team and the lineup is quite balanced. Although Bridges is gone, but KD is coming, it can only be said that the Suns' lineup adaptation has reached a higher level.
The strongest team in the history of the Suns is out!
I think Adu is also powerful, and his vision for choosing teammates is also first-class. You said that if he wants to compete for the championship and go to the Nuggets, isn't the Green Army stronger? But he chose the sun, and the sun is actually similar to the warriors of the year. The team is all backcourt as the core, the striker has the ability but the attack power is insufficient, and there is no strong attack point at the critical time. Durant is a perfect fit, and if he really wins the championship, FMVP is also eighty percent Durant, and Paul, Booker and others can only watch, and there is no chance to compete for power!
