At the post-match press conference, Guo Xu did not comment on the Lakers' old teammates and just said a few words perfunctorily.

O'Neal and Kobe did not comment on Guo Xu either. This is not a tacit understanding. As the losing side, they are not in the mood to speak.

Many fans watched this all-around live broadcast and then started discussing it online.

"Are those who say that the Lakers will definitely win the championship this year still there? Does your face hurt now?"

"It's not that the Lakers are weak, it's that the Suns led by Jason Guo are too strong, they ran to death. Many people say that veteran experience is important, but when faced with a team like the Suns, can Malone catch up with Sir, Marion, and Haslem when fighting back?"

"Experts say that the Suns are grassroots teams, where are they grassroots? I think there are four of them who can be selected as All-Stars, and Joe Johnson and Sir are also strong enough."

"Jason's shooting percentage of 45.8% today is already considered a bad touch. If he explodes like the previous two games, he will get off work in the third quarter."

The online comments are not all good. There are some "black pot" who can find Guo Xu's faults, such as he is a "defensive black hole", such as he cannot dunk, and his playing style is ugly.

It's also a jump shot, Kobe is a picture-like iron shot, and Guo Xu's three-pointer is ugly. These people don't need logic, you don't accept it and bite me. Who makes your record and data better than the stars I like?

These people are not just bad news about Guo Xu, but also bad news about horse Long and Payton. After the two veterans came, Kobe's number of shots has decreased. How can he compete for the scoring champion?

The answer is definitely not a fight. The Lakers can only play positional battles, and the offense and defense conversion is too slow. If Kobe averages 20+ shots per game, he can play in the team's locker room for half a season.

After the game, the Suns had no match for three days, and then went away to play against the Jazz, which was not difficult.

On November 5, the Suns beat the Jazz 112 to 91 away, winning four consecutive games.

The Jazz's two elders are gone, and the team has less Lagabe on the outside. The advantage is that there is more power forward David West, but he only needs to practice with a rookie, and his performance in all aspects of the substitute is average.

The Jazz's starter was a bit shabby, Carlos Arroyo, Desham Stevenson, Andre Kirilenko, Matt Haplin, Ostag.

Only 112 points were lost in this game because the Suns' three-pointer was too iron, and they made a total of 6 shots in the whole game. Guo Xu made 1 of 8 shots and had no touch, and Joe Johnson made 1 of 3 shots and was not very good. The most accurate one was Marion 2 of 5 shots.

With the running, bombing counterattack and pick-and-roll cooperation, the Suns still made the Jazz miserable. Marion scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks, Sir Jr. scored 26 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks, Nene scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, the Suns sent 13 blocks, and even Guo Xu chased and blocked Arroyo.

The Suns then returned to home court and faced the Grizzlies' challenge on November 7.

The Grizzlies started with 3 wins and 0 losses, and performed extremely well. Last season, they were the big dark horses in the West and received attention this season. TNT Radio live broadcast. The Grizzlies' players are not very famous, and they are strong in the lineup matching and their offenses are blooming in multiple points.

Paul Gasol and Zach Randolph are partnered with the inside, with both shooting range and low-post singles. They are now called the Memphis Double Tower. Substitute inside Lorenzen White is the seventh place in the first round of the Golden Generation in 1996, a qualified blue-collar worker. Chakalidis, who comes from the Suns, is the team's flesh shield. He can go up and fight when he encounters a heavy inside.

"Spring Man" Stromayer Swift was sent to the Magic, and the deal came with Mike Miller. The team selected Mike Dunleavy in 2002, and signed James Percy to strengthen the wing defense this summer. The team has three major swingers.

The Grizzlies' No. 1 position is not too weak. After only signing one middle class, Jason Williams realized that playing tricks can neither help the team win or make himself rich. In the past two years, he has gradually changed his style of play, and his shooting percentage is still not high, at least he is not so rude, and he honestly organizes the offense.

The 70-year-old coach Hubby Brown is not that old-fashioned in coaching style. He sends a very mobile lineup to compete with the Suns for offense. The defensive end can keep up with the Suns' running and bombing, and then the success rate of positional battles makes the Suns uncomfortable.

The Grizzlies players have a clear division of labor. Gasol went out to play pick-and-roll, which can help the defender create breakthrough space and respond to the attack; the defender breaks through and plays on his own or passes the ball; the wingers can catch the ball and shoot three-pointers or lob the ball to Randolph to play singles at a low post; Randolph does not have a double-team, so he can get the double-team and pass the ball.

The two sides played two overtime games before they decided to win and lose, and the Suns suffered their first defeat in the season 135-138.

Guo Xu played for 50 minutes, scored 56 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals.

The Grizzlies' best performer is Gasol, who made 14 of 2 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 11 free throws, scored 37 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. The only drawback is that as the highest player in the game, he grabbed 4 rebounds in 47 minutes.

His high-level support is very magical and easy to cause misalignment. He raises high and plays high, and it is difficult for the Suns to intercept the ball and it is difficult for him to hinder his passing sight. Gasol is now lightweight and has strong flexibility. He can shoot mid-range shots when misaligned, and can still use the ball to break through when facing big men.

Randolph's second best performance was Randolph. Although his shooting percentage was only 45%, he could score singles and scored a lot of key goals. The Suns could not completely limit him, scoring 28 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Gasol was called a softball before going to the Lakers. He never led the team to win the game in the playoffs and was swept three times.

In fact, if you look at the lineup, you will find that this is not Gasol's weakness, but the Grizzlies' inside line is not strong enough in their previous life. White and Swift are tall and thin players like Gasol, and Chakalidis is a waste.

There is a Randolph in the team now. Although the "Black Bear"'s 206cm tall is not suitable for center forward and is not suitable for frame protection and blocking shots, he is very strong and can resist the defensive end, so the two barely complement each other.

In his previous life, Randolph, who had joined the Grizzlies before, was called a cancer and the worst 20+10 players. In this life, he was selected by the Grizzlies. Because the team's good record was almost all praise and rarely questioned.

The Grizzlies made it to the playoffs last season and they became stronger this year. They have low-post offenses, three-pointers, able to protect rebounds, and wing defense. Except for the No. 1 "White Chocolate" Williams and substitute Earl Watson were abused by Guo Xu, the Grizzlies beat the Suns in other positions in this game.

After this game, the Grizzlies, who had won four consecutive victories in a row, were ranked first in the West, which surprised everyone. If they maintain this state, they only had a strong team in the playoffs.

At the post-match press conference, Guo Xu did not stingy with praise and praised the Grizzlies' Double Towers.

"I want to apologize for not listing the Grizzlies as an opponent in an interview. Their strength is seriously underestimated. I think both Randolph and Gasol are both All-Stars. Because there are many Western Conference stars, they may not be selected, but their performance is really excellent. This kind of ability to shoot mid-range and skilled inside is really a headache."

The reporter asked: "Do you mean they are better than the Suns inside players?"

"No, my inside teammates are also outstanding, and Amare has the All-Star strength, but they didn't perform well in this game." Guo Xu smiled and said: "It's no big deal to lose a regular season."
