On June 5, Beijing time, reports from the US media claimed that after the defending champion Lakers were eliminated 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs, the Suns leader Chris Paul suffered a short speech in the locker room after the game exposure.
Paul walked into the locker room with the game ball. When his teammates were about to celebrate their promotion to the Western Conference semifinals, CP3 signaled his teammates to be quiet, and he had something to say.
“Ten years ago, the coach and I were still on the Hornets. We lost to the Lakers in the playoffs with a score of 2-4,” Paul said. “Today, we defeated the opponent we lost 10 years ago. !”
“Congratulations to coach Monty (Williams), this is his first victory in a playoff series,” Paul said, passing the game to Williams.
In 2011, Paul led the Hornets into the playoffs, but was eliminated by the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs with a total score of 2-4. At the time, the Hornets coach was the current Suns coach Williams.
In this round of the series, Paul averaged 28.3 minutes per game, surrendering 9.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game with a trapped shoulder injury.
After eliminating the Lakers, the Suns will face the Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. According to the schedule, the first match of the two-team series will start on the morning of June 8th, Beijing time.Return to Sohu to see more
