The NBA playoffs were fierce. The Western Conference and the Suns 2-1 Clippers, although the Clippers beat the Suns in the first game, both G2 and G3 Clippers lost. Phoenix Suns played a good performance in the lineup. Durant, Devon Booker and Paul are obviously getting better and better. If you want to beat Phoenix Suns, you must have the Clippers’ collective surprise. Now the Clippers’ core stars have been injured, and I’m afraid they will be eliminated early again in this year’s playoffs. After winning two consecutive Clippers victories, the Suns got the official good news, and were given a generous gift, which made the qualifying prospect gratifying. Kevin Durant’s return to the king and Devon Booker’s situation are like sunrise and sunset, and God blocks the opportunity to kill God.
First of all, after the Suns 2-1 Clippers, the US media updated the promotion probability of the two teams in the series, and the Suns soared from 54% to 87%. Now the NBA experts, journalists and fans in the whole league basically agree that the Suns have eliminated the Clippers and entered the next round (Western Conference semifinals). With Durant, the Suns’ offensive scoring ability has obviously been greatly improved. In addition, Durant’s ability to attack is too strong, so opponents have to concentrate on double-team defense, and Durant’s teammates can be completely liberated. Therefore, players like Devon Booker and Paul are particularly comfortable and wonderful in the playoffs.
Second, the Phoenix Suns also took the gift clippers. It was officially announced that Leonard decided to miss the G4 game of the series because of a knee injury, while Paul George failed to return from G4. If the Suns lead by 3-1 in the next game, the Clippers have almost a 98% chance of being out. According to the Clippers, Leonard and Paul George are not sure whether the G5 can still compete. A Smith, the most famous commentator in the American media NBA, has publicly accused Leonard of saying: This man should have retired, and I can’t stand his injuries. He takes turns to play in the regular season and never plays back to back, and he can’t play in the playoffs at present. Clippers fans also think that it is very rare for Leonard and Paul George to fall on the issue of injuries almost every year in the playoffs during their four seasons of cooperation.
Third, Durant and Booker scored 25+ each in the first three games of this playoffs, becoming the first pair of partners in NBA history after 2003. According to the data released by American media, Durant ranked first in the number of distance hits in this playoff, Devon Booker tied for second place with Paul, and bridges ranked third. It is worth mentioning that Booker, Durant and Paul are the top five players in the league in the ranking of hits in the regular season this season. Therefore, the most powerful CIC team in the league is the Suns. As long as Durant, Devon Booker and Paul are in the right distance, their opponents will be desperate.
Fourth, Durant’s return to the king in the playoffs. Last season, Durant’s shooting percentage in the Nets playoff was only 38.6%. His state was so bad that he was questioned by many people. In this year’s playoffs, Durant finally regained his glory and the king returned: he averaged 26.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists, plus 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks, and his shooting percentage was as high as 51%. As high as Kevin Durant’s real level in the playoffs, he has high scoring efficiency, good stability, strong rebounding and assisting ability, good defensive stealing and blocking ability, and does not hold back at all.
5. Devon Booker’s state in the playoffs is that God stops killing God and God stops killing God. NBA data show that Devon Booker is averaging 36.3 points per game (the first in the playoff league), while Devon Booker’s shooting percentage is 60%, and his scoring efficiency is higher than Durant’s. In addition, Devon Booker averaged 5.0 assists and 2.8 steals per game, and his defensive ability was also underestimated. Devon Booker performed well in playoff defense. Devon Booker, who has Durant’s defensive attention, really plays with ease. Booker pointed out in an interview after the game: I encouraged my opponent to double-team Durant, and I will make him pay a painful price. This is also the advantage brought by the multi-core lineup in the playoffs. There is always a cup of poison for opponents to eat.
6. In the ranking of playing time since the playoffs, Devon Booker ranked first (132.6 minutes), Durant ranked second (130.5 minutes), Dinwiddie ranked third (119.8 minutes) and bridges ranked fourth (118.7 minutes). Suns coach Monty’s use of the main stars has made many fans worry about whether Durant and Booker can eat well. However, experts in the NBA of the US media said that the Suns’ offensive tactics on the court are often played by Durant and Devon Booker in turn, so there will always be one person who can take a break on the court. As Booker mentioned in the interview, after scoring in succession, I told Durant that my opponent would adjust his defense and it was his turn to attack in the next round. This shows that the Suns, led by Devon Booker and Durant in turn, attacked and eased the tension faced by one teammate. # Hundred Watching Teams #
