The second game continued to be played in Phoenix City, and the result was almost the same. The Suns fought against the position and gritted the Grizzlies a little bit, and the score was about 14 points, but fans who watched the game knew that the Grizzlies had no chance at all.

The enthusiasm of Grizzlies fans has been extinguished. The strength gap between the two teams is obvious. It is impossible for the Grizzlies to eliminate the Suns and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

The Suns have Guo Xu in control of the rhythm on the offensive end, and their performance on the defensive end is better than in the regular season, which makes people feel helpless.

In the regular season, the Suns mainly attacked, with Marion power forward and Haslem center D'Antoni all lined up, but now the Suns are targeted against the Grizzlies.

When the Grizzlies' four major swingers cannot play efficiently, it is difficult for them to win because the Grizzlies rely on swingers to shoot three-pointers, and their point guard's three-point ability is average and their scoring ability is average.

The gangsters are not good at picking up Guo Xu's faults anymore. Some people said that he relies on running and bombing and can only play fast-paced games, but in the end he was slapped in the face again in this round of series.

It is not only the players who improve their playoff experience, but also the Suns coaching staff, who know how to play in the playoffs easier to win.

The Grizzlies inevitably exposed some flaws, such as they rely too much on the performance of the two Bears in the interior and poor ability to break through the outside. Because of their flaws, they played seven games with the Rockets before advancing.

Jason Williams performed well in the last round and now showed his prototype. He can break through Sura but cannot break through Guo Xu. The strongest player in the Grizzlies' breakthrough is Bunchi Wells, but he is not sure about shooting from mid to long distance.

Williams performed too poorly in this game, making 2 of 9 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, without free throws, and scored 5 points and 5 assists. Guo Xu's large double-double with 26 points and 21 assists was another complete defeat.

The Grizzlies management has begun to consider sending Williams away in the summer and changing to a more reliable point guard. Even if the defense is also bad, it is OK to have a better offense.

After the game, espn reported the game and mentioned Guo Xu's defense, thinking that he was very terrible to defend seriously.

Guo Xu looks ordinary on the surface, and although his muscles are strong, he is not the size of a "little steel cannon". He gives people the illusion that it is easy to break through when attacking from behind. In fact, he has a low center of gravity and sufficient strength. He can always interfere closely and make the ball holder uncomfortable.

If the player is not tall enough, it is indeed easy for the opponent to jump the ball, but if the guard is more proactive in chasing the defender, he can make up for the shortcomings to a certain extent. Point guards should not change the big man without knowing how to fight for the defense, and they will not be bullied very badly. The opponent's point guard is not much taller, even the heavy point guard is only about 10cm tall.

There are only a handful of point guards with a height of over 195cm in the league. The body is not fast enough to move horizontally to the point guard, and it also has disadvantages.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Chris Paul was not fast, and he often entered the best defensive lineup by actively chasing and defending and harassing small movements. Although Guo Xu often thinks about life on the defensive end in the regular season, he is stronger in chasing and defending than Paul when he is serious, and confrontation is also the same level. It is not that easy for his opponent to misplace him.

The defensive black holes on the back line are all players who have no strength, speed, and are not active in defense. They are often grabbed and beaten to death. Guo Xu's physical fitness is top-notch at No. 1 and his physical strength is amazing. How can his defense be poor?

After the regular season awards are announced, it will definitely cause controversy again, because there must be no Guo Xu in the Best Defensive Team, but there will definitely be people who can't even enter the playoffs.

On May 12, all major regular season awards were announced.

Regarding whether Guo Xu won the regular season MVP for three consecutive consecutive times, league officials held a meeting.

It took only 5 minutes for everyone to make a unanimous decision, making Guo Xu another star who has been ranked in the regular season MVP for three consecutive years after the "big bird" Bird.

In fact, David Stern doesn't want to do this because Guo Xu is too young, he is only 23 years old this year.

In the past, the 23-year-old player won an MVP and made fans say it would be forever glory. Now Guo Xu has three consecutive MVPs at the age of 23, which is unprecedented.

The league has been conducting a star-making movement, but they don’t want such super strong men to steal everyone’s limelight. Guo Xu is now like Jordan in 1993, even better because Jordan was 30 years old at that time.

It’s not OK to not allow Guo Xu to obtain this MVP. It’s just that the stars of other teams are too unsatisfied. There are not even anyone who can compare with Guo Xu’s data.

The Heat's O'Neal is 23+10, the Spurs are second in the Western Conference, Duncan is 20+11+3, and the Hawks are 17+11. How do they compare to Guo Xu, who scored nearly 25+15? Not to mention the record, they are all more than 10 games worse than the Suns.

If the league really gives the prize to others, it will be over. Many fans will think that the NBA has a shady situation, which will affect the popularity and future development of the entire league.

After confirming the MVP, Stern discussed the second topic, how to dismantle the Suns lineup?

In fact, the league is already doing this this season, and getting Joe Johnson to the All-Star Game is the first step. In fact, in terms of data and position within the team, Cameron Anthony is more qualified to be selected, and the core data is better, but the league would rather let the hosts not participate in the All-Star Game, and they would like to help Joe Johnson.

In the middle of the season, the league's decision aroused dissatisfaction among many Nuggets fans. Of course, the league did not do this because Joe Johnson is handsome or has a good character, but instead used this method to remind the Suns management and remind Joe Johnson to break up consciously.

Are you all selected as the All-Star, so you are embarrassed to be the fourth leader in a team?

However, even if Joe Johnson does not renew his contract, Stern felt that it would be difficult for other teams to compete with the Suns for the championship because they still have an offensive trident. Now the Suns bring people the feeling of winning three consecutive championships in the Lakers, and there is only one word that can describe invincibility!

Their internal and external combination and strong wing defense are very similar to the Lakers back then. The difference is that Guo Xu was not so popular back then, and the Lakers foolishly let him go and the dynasty ended. Now the Suns will never give up Guo Xu anymore, so they can only find a way to let his teammates leave one after another.

This matter cannot be discussed at a meeting, so I have to make a long-term plan. Xiao S's rookie contract is not over yet, Marion has signed a long-term contract, and the Suns have no reason to not want them.

Guo Xu held a press conference on the afternoon of the 12th, received the MVP trophy and was interviewed. There were more reporters coming to Phoenix City than last time because he broke the historical record again.

This time, Guo Xu had much less thoughts. He said: "Thank you everyone, I mentioned in an interview last year and the next year. I won't repeat it here. I don't have much thought about winning the award this time. I try to cooperate with my teammates and win the game. It's that simple. I am the best player in the current service, so I won this award."

Then, he answered several questions from reporters, refusing to compare himself with retired celebrities, and did not comment on those celebrities who also won MVP three times.

The reporters were still unsatisfied, and Guo Xu's feelings were less than some players who scored higher scores in the regular season. Finally, Guo Xu explained the reason why he performed very casually.

"I seem to be used to getting mvp."

As soon as the news came out, online fans went crazy about the discussion. Some thought he was cool, while others thought he was too arrogant.
