That night, the Suns beat the Rockets 106 to 88 and achieved two consecutive victories.

Outside star McGrady was absent due to injury, and the Rockets were far behind the Suns in their momentum and had almost no resistance. They started with 4 wins and 8 losses, becoming the most disappointing team.

When the Rockets exchanged Francis, Mobri, Cato for McGrady and Howard, everyone felt that the Rockets had made a lot of money. In fact, if McGrady did not have serious injuries, the Magic would not have sent him away.

Last season was McGrady's last peak, and her speed and bounce were still top in the league. In preseason training this season, McGrady collided with Mutombo, causing another knee injury and a back injury recurred.

McGrady was born with scoliosis. During physical testing, he was told by the doctor that he could only play for four seasons at most. It would be difficult to achieve such achievements today. If it weren't for congenital diseases, with his talent, he might have become the top player in the league.

This is all McGrady's life. When the Magic was in the game, the team did not control the hidden dangers laid on his playing time, and it would be useless to replace the Rockets head coach with Old Nelson.

Yao Ming's fate has changed. Not only did Old Nelson not allow him to gain weight, but he also asked him to lose a little weight to increase mobility. He pulled out and played pick-and-roll with his teammates, caught mid-range shots, or cut to the low post and caught singles after his teammates attracted defense.

In Van Gundy's tactical system, the Rockets are standing in a stance, Yao Ming keeps in the low position, while Old Nelson asks the players to move, create opportunities for each other through interspersed running positions, and then hand them over to the stars to play singles without passing through the gap.

McGrady is not here, and the Rockets are responsible for singles, Yao Ming and Derek Anderson, who can also play a role. Yao Ming scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, and Anderson scored 23 points and 4 assists.

The Rockets lost because they couldn't defend themselves. McGrady was absent, and the wing defense became very poor. It was the double-back combination of Alstom and rookie Jared Jack, and the small forward was Anderson, who was 196m tall.

Old Nelson made a serious mistake. He looked down on Ryan Bowen, who is good at defense and poor offensive ability, and did not renew his contract. Once McGrady was absent, the Rockets' wing became extremely weak. The other two swingers were veteran Joan Barry and 2004 second-round rookie Bernard Robinson, who had no specialties.

Guo Xu beat Alstom, Jack and veteran David Wesley, scored 37 points and 7 assists in 35 minutes, and led four teammates to score in double digits.

The Rockets' lineup is very afraid of fast attacks. Yao Ming, Zhu Wan Howard and Mutombo cannot get up, especially veteran Mutombo, who is already playing basketball.

Uncle Mu is a veteran with a good mentality. He likes to play with Yao Ming and likes to be a substitute for the Rockets. It doesn’t matter if he can’t win the championship. He smiles happily every day.

But Rockets fans cried, they wanted to see the team win the championship, just like when the big dream was there.

As long as the center does not return to defense, the Rockets will not be able to defend the penalty area. Uncle Huo Er and substitute power forward Scala Brian both defend the black hole, and it is not very useful to return to defense. David Lee scored a career-high 28 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists, and Howard, who scored 8 points and 4 rebounds.

On November 25, the Suns played against the Nets at home and won three consecutive victories 102-81.

Guo Xu scored 37 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, leading the team's five players to score in double digits.

Now his average score is very high. He has completed the task more than he can, and he is not in a hurry to score points. When the opponent is tightly double-teamed, he will pass the ball to create opportunities for his teammates and strive to ensure the winning rate of the regular season.

In an interview, Guo Xu said that there is no goal. In fact, he is still staring at the championship. Only when he plays well in the regular season can he have a home advantage in the playoffs. If the stars simply score high scores and have poor record, they can only dominate fake fans. The superstars are the ones who have good data and win championships, and they are called dominating the league.

Payton was the second best performance in the Suns in this game, scoring 12 points and 10 assists from 6 of 8 shots in 28 minutes. Under the organization of a double defender, the Suns' ball runs quickly and well.

The Nets focused all their energy on double-teaming Guo Xu, forcing him to pass the ball, saying that he could not score a super high score anymore. If there was a second time, the Nets' Trident would have committed suicide by separating himself.

Guo Xu's position against Kidd was "released" on the defensive end. Kidd made 9 of 17 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scored 25 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, and performed beyond his level. His performance only allowed the team to not have three quarters of garbage time.

Carter was greatly reduced by Howard, Bale's defense efficiency, made only 9 of 23 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Jefferson performed slightly better, winning a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

After the game, the Nets had a record of 5 wins and 7 losses, which was a very bad start. The Suns' record of 9 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference after the Spurs, which was only 10 wins and 3 losses.

In the game that day, the Spurs lost 17 points at home. Ben Gordon and Jason Richardson were both exhausted and contributed 11 three-pointers together.

Many people analyzed the reason for the Suns' winning, believing that Guo Xu took the banner of offense by himself, and the data was equal to two stars. The teammates were mainly responsible for stabilizing the defense, and they won with a little performance on the offensive end.

It's quite simple to say, but even if the stars make unlimited moves, no one else in the current service can do it.

Guo Xu currently averages 6.4 three-pointers per game, and he can score nearly 20 points with three-pointers alone. If he keeps it, he will set a record of three-point shooting in a single season, and it will be improved to nearly 500 goals.

He averaged 5 three-pointers per game and set a record of 400+. Before, others could not even make 300+ three-pointers in a single season.

Other Suns players also performed well. David Lee averaged 10.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in the season, and shot 56% from the field, becoming a strong contender for the best rookie.

Josh Howard averaged 15.4 points, 6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting percentage of 47.5%, and three-point shooting percentage of 38.5%, making 1.1 per game, making the team's second scoring point.

Bale averaged 10 points per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 44.8%, and he can hit 2.6 three-pointers per game. He mainly relies on three-pointers on the offensive end to play by the bottom corner, throws it when receiving the pass, and then focuses on the defensive end.

The most alternative is Payton, averaging 29.4 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 47.3%. He was rejuvenated in his second spring. With Guo Xu, he often had easy scoring opportunities when taking the fast break, and frantically made assists.

If this continues, Payton may break his assist record in his peak season. He averaged 9 assists per game in his peak season at the Supersonics, but that was completed in 40.3 minutes. Now his assist efficiency is better than his peak season.

Most of the Suns players like to catch the ball and shoot quickly. Except for Guo Xu, the only one who likes to attack with the ball is Howard, which makes Payton's pass easily transformed into assists.

His role is actually the role played by the Warriors Draymond Green, who opened up the organization on the outside and shot one when he was released. He has rich game experience and is like fish in water under this system, which is much more comfortable than joining the Heat in his previous life.

Payton's data at the Heat dropped sharply because Wade had to hold the ball to exert his power. O'Neal is also a player who needs his teammates to play singles at low posts. It is not Peyton's turn when playing pick-and-roll, so it is difficult for him to give assists.

Payton also had this dilemma when he was in the Lakers. He averaged only 5.5 assists per game in 35 minutes. He was even more unbearable in the playoffs, and all the data were down. Now he has regained his youthful feeling. I talked about the youthfulness and felt that it would be fine if he played for another three or five years. He just had to partner with Guo Xu-
