LOS \u00c1NGELES (AP) Devin Booker tiene un tatuaje en el antebrazo del mensaje que Kobe Bryant le escribi\u00f3 en un par de zapatos despu\u00e9s de que se enfrentaron en el Staples Center hace seis a\u00f1os: \u00abS\u00e9 legendario\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De regreso a la casa que construy\u00f3 su \u00eddolo con la oportunidad de asegurar el \u00e9xito de su primer equipo en los playoffs, Booker realiz\u00f3 una actuaci\u00f3n digna de la leyenda de Black Mamba e impuls\u00f3 a los Phoenix Suns hacia adelante en la postemporada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker anot\u00f3 22 de sus 47 puntos en un primer cuarto fenomenal, y los Suns ganaron su primera serie de playoffs desde 2010, eliminando al campe\u00f3n defensor de la NBA Los Angeles Lakers con una victoria de 113-100 en el Juego 6 el jueves por la noche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despu\u00e9s de anotar ocho triples, atrapar 11 rebotes y hacer un impresionante 15 de 22 desde el campo, Booker mir\u00f3 a los dos n\u00fameros retirados de Bryant mientras dejaba la cancha en medio de los v\u00edtores de una peque\u00f1a secci\u00f3n de enraizamiento vocal. Kobe nunca est\u00e1 lejos de la mente de Booker en la cancha, pero su avance en los playoffs se sinti\u00f3 como un testimonio de Booker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abHonestamente, estaba pensando en Kobe y las conversaciones que tuvimos\u00bb, dijo Booker. \u00bb Sobre lo que pasamos, y la postemporada, y ser legendarios y dar los pasos para llegar all\u00ed. Al ver ese 8 y 24 all\u00e1 arriba, con la iluminaci\u00f3n que tiene Staples, es como si estuviera brillando sobre ti. S\u00e9 que estuvo aqu\u00ed esta noche y s\u00e9 que estaba orgulloso \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luego, en el t\u00fanel de la arena, Booker obtuvo una camiseta firmada por otro h\u00e9roe y mentor: LeBron James, quien solo pudo maravillarse con la brillantez de su prometedor amigo en el Juego 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abMe encanta todo sobre D-Book\u00bb, dijo James. \u00bb Hemos tenido numerosas conversaciones en el pasado. Cuando quieras ser legendario en este juego, debes continuar mejorando no solo tu juego, sino tambi\u00e9n como hombre. Todas las conversaciones que hemos tenido, puedo decir que las ha absorbido y las est\u00e1 usando para su ventaja \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jae Crowder anot\u00f3 18 puntos para los Suns, segundos sembrados, quienes ganaron tres juegos consecutivos para enviar a James a una derrota en la primera ronda por primera vez en sus 18 a\u00f1os de carrera en la NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix se medir\u00e1 a Denver en la segunda ronda. El juego 1 es el lunes en Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOS ANGELES (AP) Devin Booker has a tattoo on his forearm of the message that Kobe Bryant wrote for him on a pair of shoes after they faced each other at Staples Center six years ago: \u00bbBe legendary.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the house his idol built with a chance to secure his first team playoff success, Booker put on a performance worthy of the Black Mamba’s legend and propelled the Phoenix Suns onward in the postseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker scored 22 of his 47 points in a phenomenal first quarter, and the Suns won their first playoff series since 2010, eliminating the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers with a 113-100 victory in Game 6 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After hitting eight 3-pointers, grabbing 11 rebounds and going a stunning 15 for 22 from the field, Booker cast his eyes up at Bryant’s two retired numbers as he left the floor amid the cheers from a small, vocal road rooting section. Kobe is never far from Booker’s mind on the court, but his breakthrough playoff game felt like a testimonial to Booker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbHonestly, I was thinking about Kobe and the conversations we had,\u00bb Booker said. \u00bbAbout what we went through, and the postseason, and being legendary and taking the steps to get there. Seeing that 8 and 24 up there, with the lighting Staples has, it’s like it was shining down on you. I know he was here tonight, and I know he was proud.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterward in the arena tunnel, Booker got a signed jersey from another hero and mentor: LeBron James, who could only marvel at his up-and-coming friend’s brilliance in Game 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbI love everything about D-Book,\u00bb James said. \u00bbWe’ve had numerous conversations in the past. When you want to be legendary in this game, you’ve got to continue to improve not only your game, but also as a man. All the conversations we’ve had, I can tell he’s soaked them up and is using them to his advantage.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jae Crowder scored 18 points for the second-seeded Suns, who won three consecutive games to send James to a first-round series loss for the first time in his 18-year NBA career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix will meet Denver in the second round. Game 1 is Monday in Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
