The next day, while the media reported that the Lakers were eliminated, the combination of losses set off him even greater.

The Suns won 23 more games in the regular season than last season and reached the second round of the playoffs. After the Lakers lost Guo Xu, they were eliminated in the first round. The gap was too obvious.

After training in the morning, a group of reporters ran to the training hall to interview Guo Xu and asked him to comment on last night's game and two old teammates.

Guo Xu thought about it and replied: "Bryant and Shackle are both very strong, and there is no doubt about this. I think the Lakers were eliminated because there was a problem with other positions, especially no one can lead the offense in the second quarter."

The reporter asked: "The conflict between the two of them is getting worse and worse. What do you think?"

"I hope they can sit down and talk calmly. They have no grudges, not as exaggerated as the media said. It's just that the team was in a bad mood after losing the game. Their starting point is the same, and they both want to help the Lakers win."

The reporter asked: "O'Neal said that you will definitely lead the team to defeat the Mavericks in the second round. Do you have confidence?"

"We not only have confidence, but also strength. Beating the Trail Blazers proves this. We are very strong!"

Because the Western Conference game was so exciting, people ignored another tiebreaker. The Magic was eliminated by the Pistons, and the news just mentioned it casually, and except for McGrady's fans, no one else paid much attention.

In fact, this is a very classic series. McGrady failed to lead the team to create the Black Eight Miracle, but lost to luck. The Magic's tactics are similar to those of the 76ers in 2001. Others defend and McGrady's offense, and his personal performance is close to perfection.

The Pistons are stronger than people imagined, not much worse than the Pistons who defeated the F4 Lakers in 2004 in their previous life. However, power forward veteran Clifford Robinson is not as good as Rashid Wallace, Prince, and Oku are in a rookie year and need training.

The Mavericks vs. Suns are the focus of the second round, because this is a battle between two offensive teams.

The Mavericks' home tickets were sold out early. Most people predicted the victory or defeat and had a chance to advance to the next round. The Suns' advantage is Guo Xu, the impact of young players, while the Mavericks' advantage lies in player experience and lineup depth.

On May 6, before the game started, the audience on the stadium was basically full. When the players appeared, under the encouragement of DJ on the spot, the Mavericks fans were very excited. There was a fat man dancing with his upper body naked on the sidelines. The people of Texas were so enthusiastic.

Americans love sports, and every team represents the glory of the city. Fans' support for the team will give players a great bonus to combat effectiveness. In terms of loyalty, the Mavericks fans rank first in the league and are full of games!

The owner, Cuban, is the most fanatical fan of the Mavericks. He can celebrate the players' wonderful performances on the sidelines like a child, and can also yell when the referee is not in the penalty for the team.

In Guo Xu's previous life, until 2018, Cuban was fined about 2.5 million yuan by the league, which is very consistent with his personality.

CCTV5 live game, Zhang Heli introduced the lineup during the warm-up and said: "Guo Xu played terrifying data this season and led the team to the second round. I think he has a chance of winning the regular season MVP, and he has high popularity on the away game."

Xu Jicheng said: "Everyone says this is Yao Mingnian, but in fact it should be Guo Xunian. He proved that he did not become famous by embracing the thighs of the Lakers Ok combination. He is a super thigh in himself."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "Guo Xu averaged 36 minutes per game in the last round of the series, scoring 24.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 11 assists, and his shooting percentage was also very high. Whether the Suns can go further is his performance."

Xu Jicheng said: "Guo Xu is already recognized as the most difficult point guard in the league. He can score and pass the ball. The Suns' five players scored in double digits in the playoffs. The game is about to begin. Watch the Suns change a starter today, and the most inspirational fat man Haslem has appeared."

Five Suns: Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, Marion, Haslem, Stadamier.

Fans are unfamiliar with Haslem, and even the Mavericks coaching staff are unfamiliar with him.

This is not a "substitution" for the starting player, but a "substitution" for the players?!

Isn’t this guy a big fat guy at the beginning of the season? What happened to this muscle-filled strong man who played?

Not to mention someone who is not familiar with Haslem, even his girlfriend Fez Ryan felt incredible.

The two are alumni of the University of Florida. Senior Ryan continues her studies at school. Just when she was about to complete her bachelor's degree in business administration in April, she had to give up her beloved track and field career due to a serious strain. Haslem, who heard the news, called Ryan to comfort him and took leave to return to Florida.

When Ha Pang, who had lost 20 kilograms, appeared in front of Ryan, the girl who was unwilling to accept her immediately burst into tears and laughed.

The reason why the coaching staff made Haslem start is because he performed better and better on the defensive end. He often fought with his teammates in training and interfered closely. By fighting, he could disrupt the offensive rhythm of all inside players, so that his opponent could only take action under interference and his shooting rate decreased.

When Haslem lost 110 kilograms, even the veteran Kukochi, who had the best offensive skills in the inside, could not torture him.

They fought one-on-one during training yesterday, and Kukochi was defended and hit a 30% shooting percentage.

Everyone watched from the side and sighed: Brother Qi, why do you want to be tortured? Brother Qi, why do you want to be tortured? Brother Qi, let me explain that you will be so depraved. Brother Qi, what are you doing wrong?

After playing 10 goals, Kukochi was very embarrassed to be defended, and was a little angry, and scolded Haslem: "You are a despicable, shameless, vulgar and a scum in society, and you are a scumbag who has broken up the white party and killed Feizi."

Of course this is not their original words, but it is almost the same when translated.

It is clear that when Kukoc, Sir, Marion and others are not good at defending Nowitzki, D'Antoni will release secret weapons. Haslem not only defends desperately, but also helps the team on the offensive end. He has a good mid-range shot, and he runs slowly when taking fast breaks, and can also grab rebounds.

The Mavericks also changed their starting lineup to strengthen their defense. Nash, Finley, Nahura, Nowitzki, and Lafrenz.

Nahura is a pirated player. He can play three positions on the court, do the best in defense at 3 and 4 positions, and can compete for rebounds. When the center is short of people, let him make a cameo appearance. He dares to go up and compete with the big guys for muscles. He is a super tough guy.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Nahura's offensive ability was very poor, and he averaged less than 7 points per game in the peak season. He relied on defense to play in the NBA for 12 seasons.

The referee whistle sounded, and Xiao Si earned the ball with his excellent physical fitness, and the game began.

Joe Johnson received the ball and brought it to the three-point line. The defender was Finley. He passed it to Marion who was running, Nahura followed, and the Mavericks' defensive strategy was man-to-man.

This is a tactic used against almost all teams of the Suns. Because the Suns have a lot of quick counterattacks, they cannot arrange joint defense well. Moreover, using joint defense tactics, Guo Xu held the ball on one side to fight the swinging man alone and was too easy to break through, so he could only defenders go to the main defense.

Guo Xu first went to the bottom corner, and on the right side, he ran away from Nash under the cover of Xiao Si, and Marion passed the ball to the right side, and Guo Xu received the ball and stopped the jump shot at 70 degrees.
