Injuries are the biggest variable in the NBA playoffs this season, with Ka Jr. confirming his absence from the entire series, Zubac continuing to be unable to play while Ibaka is being reimbursed for the season, and clippers' interior line giving Ayton plenty of room to play!
On the Suns side, while cameron Johnson, the team's most accurate three-pointer, is absent from G6, Booker, who has taken off his mask, will join forces with Payne to launch a bombing campaign on the Clippers' basket.
Last game, the Clippers scored 58 points in the box, which made Monty unacceptable! But today's away Suns are still the more likely side to win.
How to crack the Clippers' joint defense under Paul's leadership, how to give full play to Ayton's advantages in key battles, will be the key winners and losers of this game!
Suns starters: Paul, Booker, Bridges, Crowder, Ayton!
Clippers starters: Beverly, Reggie, Mann, George, Morris Jr.!
Never underestimate CP3's desire for an NBA championship, being pointed out by a thousand men during the Rockets, missing the championship stage during the Thunder, and then leading a group of youth troops during the Suns, Paul has never given up chasing his dreams, even though he is 36 years old!
In the G6 race point battle of the Western Conference Finals, facing the Clippers, who have repeatedly created miracles this season, Paul rejected the roiling dream of Lu's coaches with unmatched arrogance! He hit back at those who kept criticizing him with a three-point shot!
Today he is the only protagonist, today he is God's spokesman, 41 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 0 turnovers! St. Paul tells the world with practical actions that at the age of 36, everything has just begun!
If you ask the most controversial NBA players during the playoffs this season, Alphabet Brother and Beverley are likely to be among them, especially Beverley, who considers himself a D-dog, and has repeatedly launched physical impacts on important players of the Suns in the game, such as the bridge of Booker's nose on his head, such as Paul with his legs sweeping in the air.
In the final stages of the match, Beverley, who was behind by a large margin, once again gave a controversial performance and was sent off the pitch at the cost of a malicious foul.
Beverley's performance is undoubtedly very tasteless, but you must admit his hard work, he is like the epitome of this Clippers, desperately trying to survive the last moment!
I believe that after this season, the fans who think that Lu coached and held his thighs will not be countless!
The little card on the field is undoubtedly trustworthy, but if you go back to the beginning of the season and let you choose a team leader to follow and fight side by side, will you choose Leonard, or will you choose 'old Paul'?
In any case, Paul and his Suns, with their undisputed performances, proved that they deserved the NBA Western Conference Championship, announcing to the world with undeniable enthusiasm: they are going to attack the ultimate honor of the NBA this season!
Finals, the sun is coming!
Paul: Grandpa's youth is still there!
