Chapter 663: [Western leaderboard, fierce in January]

On the 17th, the Suns' winning streak was ended and the Wizards lost 110 to 111 back to back.
They not only lost the ball, but also suffered a buzzer blow from the Wizards star point guard Arenas. The "General" hit a deadly three-pointer against Guo Xubiao.
This time Guo Xu didn't release the water, and the other Suns' defense was very focused, but they couldn't prevent it. The trident composed of Arenas, Larry Hughes and Antoine Jamieson has super attack power.
Arenas played 44 minutes, 15 of 24 shots, 9 of 5 3-pointers, 6 of 10 free throws, 41 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. The only thing missing from the U.S. and China is only free throws and 5 errors.
Guo Xu played 43 minutes, 15 of 33 shots, 6 of 16 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, got 43 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
The mutual soaring of the two stars made the fans very excited, but unfortunately Guo Xu did not allow this three-pointer, otherwise the sun would have a chance to win.
Inside the competition, both sides are half catty, both are defensive.
The Wizards are looking for a deal and want to exchange for a defensive 3D small forward. Kwame Brown and Brandon Haywood are both fledgling centers with overlapping positions. If the Wizards want to go further in the playoffs, they need to complete the transaction in the mid-term. At present, the management of the chips given by several teams is not good.
The Suns lost another game before Christmas, losing 87 to 101 to the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies have become the Suns' mistress this season and have won them two games. The Sun's inside defense is not good, "two bears" offensive, both played all-star level, with the ability to cut 2010.
Paul Gasol and outside teammates play pick-and-roll, can not only help outside teammates to create a breakthrough space, but also score themselves, but also hold high to organize attacks.
Gasol and Randolph's inside pass is a very difficult strategy. Gasol has the advantage of height and low footing, and the range has reached the three-point line. Small ball tactics rose early, Gasol began to try to shoot from a farther position.
"Black Bear" is very tough, most of the offense is in the low post and the basket, assisting mid-range shots, high efficiency in singles.
Haslem has no problem with most power forwards, and his defensive ability has been well received, but he has a big head when he meets Randolph. The opponent is taller than him, stronger than him, and feels very soft.
The more unusual point this year is that the league did not arrange for the Suns to fight Christmas, Guo Xu received a rare two-day vacation, only to go away against the Timberwolves on the 26th.
Only two games with gimmicks were arranged for Christmas in the league. The Spurs vs. Cavaliers and the Heat vs. Lakers. Both teams have players that the league wants to promote.
Stern felt that it was no longer necessary to arrange a Christmas war to increase Guo Xu ’s exposure, and Guo Xu ’s performance on Christmas several times was amazing, either a big victory over his opponent or data horror. cry.
Union officials have roughly figured out Guo Xu's character. This is a very present-loving person. He is more likely to explode in the nationwide live broadcast and highly anticipated games, and it is impossible to expect him to save face for his opponent.
One less chance to show his face has no effect on Guo Xu's popularity. All-star voting is in progress. Unsurprisingly, his votes are far ahead, and he won the ticket steadily.
On Christmas Day, Guo Xu and Megan Fox went to Phoenix for the holiday together instead of in Los Angeles as they did in previous years. In order to match Guo Xu's time, he had to fly to Minneapolis with his teammates in the early morning to prepare for the away game.
Guo Xu was very happy this day, everyone did not talk about anything about work, just chatting.
In the past and present life, he was a person who especially lacked family warmth. Since entering the NBA, he returned to participate in the Christmas War when he was in the Lakers, did not have a holiday with his family, this time he finally had time to feel the festive atmosphere.
People are only rich, and career success is not enough. Career and love are the winners in life.
In the evening, a group of people flew to Minnesota. The sun did not arrange training. Guo Xu slept a little and woke up and used the hotel computer to browse the news.
Last night, the Cavaliers beat the Spurs 91-76 at home and the Lakers beat the Heat 102-93.
This is the sixth loss for the Spurs this season. The Suns surpassed the Spurs and ranked first in the Western Conference. Although the Suns lost two Grizzlies, the Grizzlies have lost seven games and ranked third in the Western Conference.
Guo Xu didn't play the game, many fans mentioned him online, because this year's Christmas battle is a bit boring, the four teams' offense is very slow, and there are not many wonderful goals.
The Spurs lost in the lineup, Ginobili sprained his right ankle and will miss two to four weeks. This was the turning point of Ginobili's entire career. Since this season, an ankle sprain has troubled him, making him unable to play for too long.
As an outside star, Ginobili has averaged more than 30 minutes per game in only two seasons of his career. He played 31.1 minutes in his peak season and never scored 20 in a single season.
Competing with the Cavaliers inside the Spurs has no advantage, striker Finley and Bowen are obviously inferior to LeBron James.
In another game, Bryant played 44 minutes, 12 of 30 shots, 8 of 3 3-pointers, 13 of 19 free throws, got 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. The core played so inefficiently, Butler did not come back, Lakers Still won.
Odom, Cook, and Bogut scored in double figures, with a shooting percentage of over 55.
Bogut played better against O'Neal on the defensive end. O'Neal made 8 of 18 shots, made 2 of 5 free throws, and shot only 44.4.
Guo Xu knew that O'Neill's state was about to begin to decline seriously. He received a devil training from Pat Riley and performed well last season, but now the negative effects are beginning to show and his physical strength is overdrawn. Not only is Austrian fat, but Baxter, a power forward who has performed well for two seasons, has also been in a serious decline and can no longer play.
The Heat without Peyton and Haslem cannot break out in the east. However, O'Neill has seen it, even if the Heat reached the finals, he did not have the confidence to win the championship, the league has always been a pattern of strong West and weak East. At least he made money, and the high salary he signed with the Heat in summer was about a serious premium.
That night, the Suns easily defeated the weak Timberwolves. Now the Wolves' offense depends on two players. They are still not in harmony. Garnett hopes that the management will trade Szebiak away.
The Suns did not lose again in December. Their performance in January was even more fierce. After defeating the Spurs and Eagles at home, they ushered in a favorable schedule.
Although the rankings of the strong Western teams are very fierce ~ EbookFREE.me ~, the only team that can threaten the sun seems to be the Spurs and Grizzlies.
There are not many teams that can compete with the Sun in the east. The double guards of the Sun have become the key to winning. The two organizational points are easier to launch a fast break. Switch freely.
The Suns only lost one game this month, losing 100 to 111 to the Magic.
The Magic lineup is not strong, but this time Turkoglu has taken a breather, hitting six three-pointers, scoring 35 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Francis also had 20 points and 6 assists. Dwight Howard scored a large double-double with 14 points and 18 rebounds.
Dwight made great progress in the second season. His offensive skills are still rough, but playing with his physical fitness is worthy of the nickname "Warcraft". The Magic's backup center is "Baby Shark" Bynum, who also has excellent physical fitness. He has performed well in a limited time, and he can attack after the cover.
Bynum is traded sooner or later. He and Howard are very similar in style, and the areas with high offensive efficiency are in the low position.
They can't play together to form the twin towers, they can't play power forward ...
