On December 13, the Suns face the Kings at home.

This is a live game across the United States. The Kings are extremely popular, currently 17 wins and 5 losses, ranking second in the West. The Kings joined Jim Jackson, Damon Jones, and Keeon Clark in the summer. The lineup depth has improved one step closer and the target championship.

This record was achieved in the absence of Mike Bibby. Bibby suffered a stress fracture and underwent surgery and would not return until January as soon as possible.

The Suns encountered a crisis of changing coaches, and public opinion was a voice of doubt. Veteran Kukochi had been resting for 7 weeks and had not made a comeback yet, and the team's lineup was not complete.

In the pre-match victory and loss prediction, experts unanimously optimistic about the Kings' victory, believing that as long as they defended Guo Xu, they could enter garbage time in three quarters, because the Suns' inside line was too weak.

Chinese media are no longer paying attention to the Suns' matches now. They don't score much in the game and don't play beautifully enough. Guo Xu's popularity in China has declined slightly.

Since Yao Ming joined NBA, CCTV5 mainly broadcasts the Rockets' games, the earlier games were live broadcasting the Celtics, and only when neither of them played, Guo Xu's Suns were live.

After experiencing several sluggish home occupancy, the Suns' home occupancy rate was full again today, but many fans came to see the Kings. The Kings and the Mavericks are the best offensive teams this season. Although Adelman failed to lead the team to win the championship last season, his Princeton tactics are very attractive.

Espn commentator Woodson introduced: "Jason Guo smiled and waved to the home fans when he appeared today. I think he hates head coach Frank Johnson, and the fact that the team forced the palace to fire him should be true."

Hovas smiled and said, "He is probably too happy and is too lazy to hide it. Now many people say he is a football boss, but I think he is more like a star than before. His personal ability is unquestionable and his desire to win is also strong. He drove Frank away obviously because he hoped the team would become better."

Woodson said: "Jason is indeed good at leading the entire team's offense. After losing him, the Lakers' attack power has weakened too much and lost a lot of games."

Hovas nodded and said, "The key is to look at the overall chemistry of the team. No matter how strong the players' personal scoring ability is, their teammates can't win even if they perform poorly. After O'Neal was injured, Kobe did a bad job leading the team. I think Jason is a little better than Kobe. I can't win because the lineup is too poor. It's almost impossible for him to lead the Suns to compete for the championship, unless another star is introduced to form a team with him."

When both sides appeared, everyone was surprised that the Suns replaced two new players as insiders.

Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, Marion, Stardameier, Nene.

Kings Five: Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, Peja Stojakovic, Webber, and Divac.

Guo Xu told Stadameer: ​​"Don't be afraid of Webber, use your advantage to run, be active when cutting in the air. As long as you run out of the position, I will definitely pass the ball to you."

"Even if Weber is in front of me, I can still lock him." Stardameier did not lower his voice, and even looked at Weber provocatively. His self-confidence was really strong.

Guo Xu asked with a smile: "What if someone makes up for defense?"

"Transfer to teammates." Xiao Si replied.

Guo Xu smiled and fisted against Xiao Si, walked to the backcourt, and both sides were about to jump the ball in the inside.

Usually training together every day, Guo Xu believes in Xiao Si's ability. Now he is a player at the "Bai King" level. This is not a derogatory point. The inside line who can "eat cake" is very efficient and can increase the number of assists of his teammates. Which guard doesn't like it?

Nene jumped the ball and easily beat Divac. Marion received the ball and passed it to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu and other teammates pulled away, and Smith blocked Jackson from the middle, and Guo Xu broke through on the right, attracting Weber to replace defense and Jackson to chase after defense, and passed the ball to the middle from the side of Weber.

The Suns have been practicing this routine, the difference is that there is no threat to pass it to Gugliota. His empty cut speed is too slow and he will be caught up by the opponent's No. 4 position. He can't even shoot a few shots in a high mid-range game. As long as the opponent's defender stands in front of him and interferes slightly, he will choose to pass the ball.

Now the pick-and-roll was replaced by Xiao Si, and he rushed to catch the ball. He took the ball in two steps, his head was flat, and a very stretched tomahawk-style cracking and smashed the ball into the basket. Divac turned around on the right and wanted to make up for defense but had no time to jump.

2-0, Guo Xu was the first assist.

The home fans applauded and cheered together. The opening game was a dunk of the best five goals, and they liked to watch this one the most.

The Kings attacked, and Peja gave Divac a ball to the low post from the side.

Divac is an excellent center forward who can organize passes and play singles at low posts. He occasionally shows mid-range shots after pick-and-roll, and plays very well.

Divac knew that Nene was a rookie and wanted to bully one of the opponents, but he failed to push it. Nene's defense of 130 kilograms during training in the team was used to it, and the lower plate was very stable.

Divac turned to the baseline and threw the ball, and missed the basket under the interference of Nene's long arm. Sir grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave it to Joe Johnson nearby, who passed it straight to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu quickly led the frontcourt, Marion rushed to the Kings' penalty area with a horse on the left, and Peja barely chased from behind. Guo Xu took him to the right horn position and swung for a moment. He ignored Marion and stuffed the ball into the middle from close range.

Nene completely threw away Divac and followed up. He took the ball and jumped in two steps, and scored and spiked the ball with one hand. It was very similar to Xiao Si's move just now. He jumped slightly lower than Xiao Si, but had a greater strength.

4-0, Guo Xu made the second assist.

Woodson shouted: "The Suns scored two consecutive dunks at the beginning, and the center forward made a quick attack, so the speed was so fast."

Hovas lamented: "Nine was positioned as a brutal insider in the draft, and the template was Sean Kamp. Judging from this round, he was really like Kamp when he was young, running as fast as the outside line."

Woodson smiled and said, "I feel like the Suns have two camps today. If Nene and Amare kept running like this, Divac would have suffered today. He is now one of the slowest centers in the league."

The Kings played pick-and-roll in the middle, Jackson did not get rid of Guo Xu, and the ball was divided into the middle, Weber took the ball with one hand and swayed it, broke through and passed Xiao Si, and dunked it with one hand. 4-2.

Nowadays, Sir S was easily overwhelmed in defensive end and was prone to fake moves. The coaching staff did not blame him. No inside rookie was omnipotent as soon as he entered the league, except Duncan.

On the offense of the Suns, Guo Xu and Xiao Si played pick-and-roll again in the middle.

Guo Xu had to double-team after playing pick-and-roll, which almost became a consensus in the league. He was extremely fast and had strong breakthrough ability. If the inside was closer, he might be passed in one step. Before, all teams used this method to beat the Suns, and other players had limited attack power, and even Marion could not kill anyone.

Today is different. The Suns' inside line is no longer a stupid big guy who can only stand in the low position. Nene pulled to the right side near the three-point line to block Christie, Joe Johnson got rid of the run, and received Guo Xu's pass 70 degrees on the right side.

Divac switched to defender slowly, Joe Johnson easily jumped into three-pointers with open positions, his posture was as standard as a textbook, and the ball was hollow into the net!

7-2, Guo Xu made the third assist.
Chapter completed!
