In the second half, the Suns players who were very relaxed in their minds continued to run and shoot as the main focus, with pick-and-roll as the auxiliary position, and fought against the Timberwolves to attack.

Guo Xu was mainly responsible for launching counterattacks from the backcourt in this quarter, reducing his shots, scoring 2 goals for only 4 shots, scoring 5 points, and sending 7 assists, including two beautiful long passes in the backcourt.

Marion scored two three-pointers and two mid-range shots, scoring 10 points in a single quarter.

Sir Jr. attracted Garnett to defend, and Nene showed his power again. Facing Trent's defense, he made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points in a single quarter.

In order to prevent Guo Xu from breaking through, the Timberwolves must assist in the inside, otherwise Hudson would be killed by someone who had been with him. In order to strengthen his mobility, he could not use heavy-duty inside players Nestrovic or Mark Jackson.

Trent is a power forward who is only 203cm tall. He can't defend Nene with only weight and strength. Nene cuts the ball and then sways twice. The shooting rate near the penalty area is very high. He mainly practices this when he is in Brazil. The mid-range shot is still very poor, but it is enough.

Garnett went to defend Nene, and Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with Xiao Si, and Xiao Si rushed up again. He couldn't rush up and played Trent alone with Nene. The two often practiced together and made obvious progress.

Guo Xu scored 26 points and 21 assists in just three quarters, and was about to score 30+20 again, and the Suns led by 19 points 102 to 83.

In the Christmas battle, Guo Xu kept his strength in the face of his old club, the Lakers. He would not be polite to deal with the Timberwolves. He continued to play in the final quarter and directly made a request to the coach.

"Mike, arrange the double guard and double screening tactics. I have enough assists. I want to get 40+20. I will make a shot myself as long as I have the chance."

The most exciting thing about him becoming the boss of the team is that he can make such a request. When he was on the Lakers, he was not qualified to make a request. He only took the 67+10 unlimited attack against the Hawks once, but it was with Kobe absent.

D'Antoni is not the kind of coach who requires players to be selfless. He likes to arrange offenses and be a fan on the sidelines. He likes to watch players play super data and watch them score points.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Nash was always selfless because of his personal character. It was not what D'Antoni asked. Harden could play casually in the Desc offensive system and could continue to shoot even if he felt poor.

D'Antoni agreed without thinking and smiled: "No problem, you can make a bold shot. If they narrow the gap, we will change the tactics. Be careful not to get hurt."

"Don't worry, I'll focus on shooting."

Guo Xu is not Iverson. When he can stop and jump shot, he will not rush into the crowd. His layup is misplaced and completely passes the opponent's inside line. If the opponent follows, he will definitely choose to pass the ball and let his teammates hit the basket.

There are many supermen in the team. If he has to show his strength in the No. 1 position, he is purely sick.

The Timberwolves let Hudson rest in the final quarter, veteran Stretland appeared, and coach Sanders knew that something was going to be bad when he saw Guo Xu appearing again.

Sure enough, after the Timberwolves missed the shot, the Suns immediately counterattacked. Guo Xu chased and shot three-pointers in the periphery. He had no tactics and threw him if he had the chance. Strickland could not block the distance, and he would be crossed if he was close.

Guo Xu made 2 of 4 three-pointers, and once broke through, he attracted a backup defense and scored a dunk, and another breakthrough was pulled, making both free throws. After he scored 8 points and 1 assist, Sanders requested a timeout.

Many home fans of the Timberwolves have turned against each other. Guo Xu applauded after scoring the goal. The Suns played much more beautifully than the Timberwolves.

Xu Jicheng commented: "Guo Xu is unstoppable today. He will adjust his playing style at any time. The Timberwolves defend against passing, he shoots by himself, and he will pass the ball when he prevents him from scoring, and he can play no matter what."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "He plays much better than players who are simply good at scoring, because you can't guess what he will do next. I think he is not just the first point guard of the NBA, but also the first attacker. I can't think of any active player who is more powerful than his offense."

Xu Jicheng agreed: "He is indeed awesome, he is also the core of the team, and Garnett cannot compare with him."

After the suspension was over, Guo Xu continued to play.

As soon as he received the ball, the Timberwolves double-teamed him outside the three-point line. As a result, this defense failed in the first round. Guo Xu dribbled the ball into the center circle and scored, and Alstom made a three-pointer at an open position.

The King of Street Ball has poor offensive choices, not that he has no baskets. He usually trains three-pointers in the team, and he is still sure of having an open position.

Hudson was completely stunned. He was so miserable that he was exposed in this game that his mentality broke down when facing Guo Xu. Guo Xu let him make a random shot with two steps, and his three-pointer also missed the basket.

The Suns chased and fought back. Guo Xu first sprinted to the frontcourt, then stopped and moved across, receiving a pass from Alston in the middle.

He swung his steps outside the three-point line, Hudson took a small step forward, and Guo Xu immediately took the ball and changed direction to break through. Hudson stretched out his hand, Guo Xu took the ball and deliberately hit his arm, and the referee blew the whistle.

Guo Xu not only practices dribbling skills in the team, but also practices "hit-scratch". This move has a high chance of going to the free throw line and can also cause damage.

He practiced when he was in the Lakers, but he didn't have a whistle in the rookie season. Last season, he was a little better and averaged only 4.6 free throws per game because he had to pass the ball with his teammates. This season, Guo Xu averaged 7.3 free throws per game, a career high.

He scored both free throws with a 36th score.

Kendal beat Alstom alone, took advantage of his height to stop and jump shot missed the basket, and his feel was gone. Sir grabbed the rebound and made a quick counterattack, and Alstom quickly dribbled the ball through halftime and passed Guo Xu.

Hudson's defense was even worse this time. He chose to be close to the body. Logically speaking, close to the body is a positive performance of defense, but the premise is that the players can adapt to physical confrontation. Hudson's strength is too poor. Guo Xu caught the ball and hit him, and he turned around and successfully passed by. He rushed into the basket on the right side, glanced behind him, and took a high-pinning shot and took a shot.

Garnett, who returned to defend in the middle, flew up and jumped with all his might but failed to cover the basketball. Guo Xu's curvature of the basket was too high. The ball was very light and hit the board and then rolled it on the basket twice and fell in. This was his personal 38th point.

Since Guo Xu was shooting on the board, the height of the ball would certainly not exceed the upper edge of the rebound, but Garnett could not block, which disappointed the kg blowers.

There is a very famous legend circulating in the NBA. Garnett just entered the league and said he could touch the rebound when training in the Timberwolves. Then his teammates laughed: "Child, everyone here can touch the rebound!" Then the young and frivolous Garnett added: "I'm talking about the upper edge of the rebound." Then, he jumped quickly and touched the upper edge of the rebound ten times.

This story sounds very satisfying, but unfortunately it is fake. Garnett himself has denied the rumors.

There are really monsters that the NBA may touch the upper edge of the rebound. It is not Garnett, but "Warcraft" Dwight Howard, who is still in high school.

During the physical test, Howard broke O'Neal's record of touching heights for more than 10 years. When he participated in the 2007 slam dunk competition, he posted a big head on the rebound, about 20cm away from the upper edge of the rebound. At that time, he completed the dunk. If he directly assisted the running and touched the heights, he should be able to be a little higher.

Next, Guo Xu was strictly guarded and forced to pass the ball several times, and all three shots were missed out of the basket. But the opportunity finally appeared. The Timberwolves missed the shot, Guo Xu counterattacked with the ball, forced a breakthrough and hit Hudson's arm with a European step. The ball fell to the ground, and the referee fouled again.
