Previously, Paul was suspended indefinitely because he tested positive for COVID-19, and now he is in isolation. Fortunately, it is asymptomatic infection and will not affect his physical condition. After the isolation is lifted, he can immediately return to the training ground and compete seamlessly. Meanwhile, during the isolation, Paul still kept in touch with the sun. When the Suns won the first game of the Western Conference finals, Booker and Elton thought of calling Paul to share their joy.
If Paul can successfully return to G3, then the current situation is the best time for the Suns to win the championship. Leonard, the Clippers' core, may not be able to play the whole series because of a knee injury, and the Suns have a better chance to advance to the finals.
In his career, chris paul has not participated in the NBA Finals, which will be the closest he will get to the championship. In addition, the remaining two teams in the Eastern Division are Hawks and Bucks, and the main players of these two teams have no experience in the finals. Paul can still build an empirical advantage. As long as Paul can come back smoothly, it will be his best chance to hit the championship personally.
The four teams in the NBA East-West Finals last season, the Lakers, the Nuggets, the Heat and the Celtics, have been eliminated one by one. This set the tone for this season's NBA championship. The old player is gone, and the new player is in the upper position. It is destined that some players will win the championship for the first time in their careers. Paul is one of them. From Hornets to Clippers to Rockets, Thunder and Suns, Paul has never participated in the championship competition. From Kobe Bryant to James to Curry Durant, Paul watched these players win their careers as a bystander. It's Chris's turn this time, and the best time to win the championship is not to be missed.
