The Suns, who had not played as a complete unit since the All-Star Game, appeared on the court as a complete unit again after about five or six games. This did not affect the tacit understanding between them at all.

Moreover, due to the rotation, the cooperation between some players has become more tacit than before. These are considered unexpected gains, and these unexpected gains are now vividly reflected in this game against the Hornets.

By the 8 minutes and 45 seconds of the second quarter, the Suns had already scored 58 points.

When the Suns scored 58 points, the Hornets had just scored 32 points.

On both ends of the offense and defense, the Suns clearly demonstrated their status as the league's top super team.

As for the Hornets head coach Chris Paul, who was hung up and beaten by the Suns in this game, he only had one sentence at the moment... Why me!

This is his only thought at the moment. The Hornets have lost seven games in a row. From two days before the start of the All-Star Game to now, except for Chris Paul, who won once in the Western Conference All-Star Game, he still doesn't know the victory.

What does it feel like.

If he continues like this, he may even forget how to spell victory.

Of course, at this moment, he almost didn't even want to play.

He never thought that it would be so difficult to win an opponent, and he never thought that he would lead a team with an opponent that he could never defeat. But at this moment, he really had an idea: If I stay in the Hornets, if I encounter something like this

It should be impossible for our team to win no matter what.

I have to leave!

It’s not that Chris Paul just came up with this idea now. He has had this idea for a while, but at this moment, his idea is particularly strong!

When a player has this idea, he will naturally make some actions that he would not normally do. For example, in this game, at 8 minutes and 13 seconds of the third quarter, Chris Paul looked toward the crowd off the court.

The head coach signaled and asked the latter to take him off the field.

The head coach of the Hornets was stunned for a moment. Although he did as he was told, there was something strange on his expression, and he looked at Chris Paul for a long time.

The current score on the court is 83 to 69. There is really no need for Chris Paul to stay on the court because the score is getting bigger and bigger. But the problem is that Paul has never been someone who would take the initiative to ask for an exit in such a situation.

Player, his tenacity and unwillingness to admit defeat do not allow him to do this.

But now, Chris Paul has taken the initiative to apply for dismissal.

The head coach of the Hornets doesn't know what this means, but one thing he knows very well is that the Hornets are about to experience some shock.

You know, although Chris Paul's contract does not expire this summer, next season will also be his contract year... This is also a very sensitive matter!

The Hornets couldn't beat the Suns to begin with, and now without Chris Paul, it's even less likely to have any chance of competing with the Suns.

In the end, the Suns defeated the Hornets 118-81, a full 37-point advantage.

The audience at the scene burst into loud cheers at this time. For all Suns fans, this was another satisfying night.

"Man, you're awesome, congratulations, you're having an unforgettable season!"

After this game, Chris Paul's expression didn't look very depressed. After deciding to do something, people's emotions will suddenly brighten up. Now, Chris Paul is in such a stage. Therefore,

Now he doesn't seem to care at all that the Hornets lost by 37 points.

He ran over to say hello to Lin Ri and congratulated him on another perfect game.

Lin Ri scored 29 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists in this game.

In the current league, he can be said to be the most popular No. 4 position in the league, and can even be said to be the most popular No. 5 position in the league. Regardless of his status or data, he can say this.

After the All-Star Weekend, one of the more obvious changes is that the leading stars of all teams will spontaneously come to say hello to Lin Ri after the game.

Including Baron Davis came over to say hello to Lin Ri after the game yesterday, praising him as "this person should only exist in heaven, and is rarely remembered in the world." He didn't care about Griffin at that time.

The man standing next to him was looking at him with resentful eyes.

Being good at sociability should be said to be the biggest difference between today's stars and the past, especially those in the 1990s and before.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that information was not so circulated at that time, and it was also related to the fact that most of the league at that time was militant. You can't expect a guy like Jordan to run to hug others after losing the game. He is more

It's possible to ridicule his teammates; and for a player with a bad mind like Rodman, you can't expect him to praise everyone like a flower during an interview, plus some media adding fuel to the fire.

This makes a lot of unnecessary conflicts amplified. There is no way to communicate between the two parties, but they just get angry with each other on the playing field!

The current era is different. The development of the Internet has allowed players to communicate with each other a lot more. It is no longer as convenient for the media to set the pace as it used to be. The hostility between players is naturally much less.

No, many players’ girlfriends are the other players’ exes, but this doesn’t affect at all whether they should paddle on the court or whether they should practice shooting or not.

This is the change caused by different times.

Now that Lin Ri has become the hottest star, he has naturally received many goodwill signals from his opponents.

Maybe they will join forces in the future!

Just like Baron Davis, he has completely retired from his peak period, and he will enter the last period of his career. At this time, he needs new connections like Lin Ri.

He also wants to stay in the league for two more years to maintain his exposure so that he can continue to promote his career in the entertainment industry. At this time, as long as a player like Lin Ri is willing, there is no problem for him to hide in the league and get a basic salary of three years.

It was also for this reason that after the game, when reporters asked him "what did he say to the sun", he praised Lin Ri again.

He was so praised that Clippers fans almost thought he was a Suns player.

This is strong enough!

Although Chris Paul has not yet reached the career stage of Baron Davis, with Chris Paul's style of play and his talent, there is no problem playing in this league for another 10 years, and he will play in this league as the main force.

10 years... But at this stage of his career, he also has something that he must fight for, such as a Western Conference floor!

He has been playing in this league for 6 years, and he has been wearing the title of "the league's number one point guard" for a while, but he has never even touched the floor of the Western Conference. In terms of results, he is definitely not good enough.

of.

He longs for a good partner, like... Lin Ri.

Only a point guard like him can understand how good a guy like Lin Ri is!

What should I say...

Let’s put it this way!

Every point guard is lucky to be able to partner with a player like Lin Ri!

Now he is envious of Steve Nash, first he partnered with Stoudemire, and now he can partner with Lin Ri.

Moreover, Chris Paul does not envy Stoudemire's partner. His previous partner Tyson Chandler may not be as good as Stoudemire in some offensive aspects, but if it really comes down to functionality, he chooses Tyson Chandler!

This guy can contribute on both ends of the floor.

Stoudemire is different. He is full of energy on the offensive end, but not very good on the defensive end. For a team, interior defense is crucial!

Therefore, in Chris Paul's view, Stoudemire is not such a rare inside player.

Lin Ri... When he entered the league, his template was Rodman plus Stoudemire. Many people questioned it at the time, but now, there is really nothing to question. As for his state on both offense and defense after entering the league, it is completely

To be worthy of this template, he even needs to find another template for his ability in assists!

What point guard wouldn't crave such an inside partnership?

Looking at Steve Nash here at his age, Chris Paul felt that it was possible for him to partner with Lin Ri, so he immediately came to release a positive signal...

Lin Ri hugged the latter.

He can win the All-Star MVP in this year's All-Star Game, and he also has a lot of help from Chris Paul. This friend can still be recognized.

Of course, he didn't take victory in this game seriously.

Again, he will never relax before defeating the Lakers.

The same goes for Gentry. Although he praised the current team's dominance after the game, he did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, he finally said: "We should not think that we are strong enough until the real challenge is over."

Now, we need to defeat a truly powerful opponent to know where we stand!"

This statement is obvious, and it is exactly what the Suns are talking about in the next game against the Lakers!

"They are very powerful. After having the sun, they really took off like a rocket. They are our strongest competitors. I think this will be a tough battle!"

After the Lakers finished the day's game, reporters also asked about the game against the Suns. Pau Gasol said he was under a lot of pressure.

Odom also praised Lin Ri: "This guy is incredible. He is a test for our inside line. We must be fully prepared!"

Although Bynum just "snorted" and didn't say anything, it can be seen from his attitude that he didn't dare to lick Lin Ri again. Lin Ri must be on the list of players that "Little Shark" is most afraid of.

name.

Only Kobe, when he was interviewed by reporters, his expression was quite clear, and he even asked: "Aren't we leading them 2-1 now? Even if they win, we are only tied 2-2. We

We are on the advantage and we are definitely the more relaxed side!”

He said this as if he didn't care about the outcome of this game at all.

But anyone who is familiar with Kobe knows that he is relaxing with himself. Generally, Kobe at this time is also a Kobe who truly cares about his opponents!

The "Black Mamba" obviously takes this game against the Suns very seriously!

Not only the Lakers, but everyone in the Los Angeles media also took this matter very seriously.

In the past few days, they had already started building momentum for this game.

It’s no wonder they are so worried. The Suns’ unknowing display of dominance really scares all the teams in the league who want to win the championship, especially the Lakers who aim to defend their title!

After winning the championship last year, for the Lakers, their only goal in the new season is to win the championship!

Only winning the championship can prove the return of the Zijin Dynasty.
