Veteran Chris Paul made the entire basketball world bow when he did not miss any opportunities in game 6.
Coming as a guest to the New Orleans Pelicans in game 6 of the series of round 1 of the NBA Playoffs in the West, the Phoenix Suns aim for victory. They cannot waste too much effort in dealing with the 8th ranked opponent anymore. Luckily for the desert representative, superstar Chris Paul not only led the team to a 115-109 victory but also made history himself.
The Phoenix Suns really surprised us today when they decided to bring Devin Booker back earlier than expected. Perhaps it was the return of the star born in 1996 that helped the Arizona representative’s morale rise even though they had to play away from home. Despite nearly 20,000 cheering spectators, the desert team still had a better start.
However, this advantage only lasted until the end of the first half. The New Orleans Pelicans shined in the second half from two familiar names where Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum brought the hosts flying high. There was even a time when they led their opponents by 12 points as the match reached the end of the second half. However, the spotlight today was unfortunately on Chris Paul.
After a quiet first half of the match with only 10 points and 2 assists, Chris Paul realized he needed to really shine if he didn’t want the home team to lose strength in game 7. As soon as he learned that Devin Booker was still Not yet back to 100% ability, “CP3” transformed into a scoring superstar right after the third period started.
Like a machine, every move of the former Los Angeles Clippers star is terrifyingly precise. Still the familiar way of operating. Pull the opponent’s defender up past the three-point line, break through yourself or receive support into your favorite bottleneck area. Letting “Lao Tam” reach this position means a death sentence for the home team’s basket. 100% of today’s basket finishing performance comes from the star born in 1985.
Chris Paul destroyed the home defense
Dear readers, you did not misread the numbers above. 14 shots were all 14 times “Point God” brought points to the away team. Despite trying everything, the “Pelicans” had to accept defeat and give the ticket to the next round to the Phoenix Suns.
