The NBA playoff semifinals continued, and in the already concluded game, the Warriors, led by Curry and Jordan Poole, narrowly defeated the Grizzlies 117-116 on the road, welcoming the opening and successfully defusing the home disadvantage; in contrast, the Celtics, in the case of a maximum of 8 points, were reversed and overtaken by the Bucks, and finally lost 89-101. On this basis, on May 3, the NBA playoff semifinals G1 schedule was released, and Paul was praised by his opponents. Details are as follows:
What is the G1 schedule for the NBA Playoff Semifinals on May 3?
Objectively speaking, the arrangement of the NBA playoff semifinals this season is not friendly to domestic fans, because many games are scheduled to be held in the early morning of Beijing time, such as the warriors and the Grizzlies series, and 4 games start at 1 a.m. However, it is gratifying that according to the schedule of the NBA's official website, a total of 2 NBA games will be played on May 3:
The Heat and 76ers compete at 7:30 a.m. and the Suns and Lone Rangers at exactly 10 a.m. Among them, after checking the CCTV sports channel program list, it can be seen that CCTV5 will carry out a full video live broadcast, and fans who like the Suns or Lone Rangers should not miss it, and remember to watch it on time.
What happened to Paul getting praised by his opponents?
Before the G1 semifinals, players and coaches of both teams were interviewed by reporters, among which The Lone Ranger head coach Jason Kidd publicly praised Paul in front of the camera: one was to admit that Paul was perfect in the position of point guard; the other was to think that Paul's basketball IQ was very high, with strong competitiveness and willpower; the third was to admit that Paul's execution was strong, no matter what the team needed, he could stand up.
It can be seen that Paul, known as the "god of point guards", not only conquered the majority of fans with his excellent play in the playoffs, but also won praise from opponents, and also reflected his greatness from the side. The most important point is that according to statistics, Paul's all-time assists in regular season history are second only to Kidd. In other words, for now, kidd is the one who has the most say in judging Paul.
In addition, the Lone Ranger star Doncic also defined Paul: that is, Paul is the leader of the Suns, a great player, a Hall of Fame level player, so it is difficult to restrain him on the court.
So the question is, what kind of state will Paul show against the Lone Rangers led by Kidd? Take this season's regular season statistics as an example: the two teams have met 3 times, and the Suns have a total winning record, of which Paul can average 15 points, 4.7 rebounds and 13 assists per game, and his personal plus-minus per game is as high as +11.7, ranking first in the team. Predictably, when the two teams meet again, Paul will surely shine all over the field again, so let's wait and see.
Finally, I would like to say that even though Paul is 36 years old, from the current strength, he is still among the top stars in the league, worthy of a high salary of $30.8 million! So, do you think the Suns will beat the Lone Rangers? And what kind of performance will Paul have? Welcome to the interactive communication below!
