The Hawks once again double-teamed Guo Xu, making it difficult for him to catch the ball. They replaced Nash 6 minutes later because Nash was not better than Pago, who was substitute.

Guo Xu changed to play without the ball, and he still had a way to play. The Eagles did not dare to relax their guard against him. Two people had to take care of him in positional battles. The Suns occasionally played a fast break and were threatening to the Eagles' fast break because Nash could not defend Guo Xu alone.

The Suns led the midfield with 23 points, Guo Xu scored 25 points and 6 assists, and beat Nash with 5 points and 5 assists in a full slap.

In the third quarter, Nash finally began to show his power. Even if the Hawks could not make a sharp fast attack, he could still break through to assist his teammates in the positional battle, and made three three-pointers, scoring 16 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

Whenever Nash scores a goal, Suns fans will give applause. Nash sounds very harsh, and the applause is for Guo Xu. He knows very well that Guo Xu has started to let go again, and the defensive intensity in the first and second half is very different.

Guo Xu's "I will still beat you when playing on the defensive end" style has made many point guards in the league hate it because Guo Xu does not want to save face for them, but to play a little longer and play better data, making them less face.

In order to make data, Guo Xu also needs Nash to be present because it will be better to play.

Such a person is a devil.

In fact, Nash was really overrated in his previous life. He was just an ordinary All-Star point guard, with his weaknesses and advantages as obvious. In the history of NBA, all those who won the regular season MVP have won the championship, except Nash. His ability to win awards is like a special commendation given by the league, because the Suns play offensive basketball, which is the direction the league hopes to develop.

Nash has a good team-leading ability, but his personal ability is not strong. He averages less than 20 points per game. When a star needs singles at critical moments, his one-on-one ability is insufficient. He is one of the greatest assists in history, but he needs to be strong in many times in the playoffs.

When he was at his peak, the NBA stars were in a state of disagreement. Many big names were getting old, and the golden generation such as James had not yet entered its peak.

Kidd's condition declined, Iverson did not make the playoffs, Billups had no data, and no one competed with Nash at the No. 1 position at that time. Now with Guo Xu in Nash, he would not be able to win personal honors. At most, he would compete for the assist king.

This season, Guo Xu mainly plays as a scoring guard, and the tasks organized are generally completed by Payton and Blake, otherwise the assist king will definitely be his.

After the third quarter, Guo Xu scored 34 points and 12 assists, and was about to get a big double-double again. This was obtained by him being double-teamed and Valejo wasted multiple passes. After receiving the ball, Valejo had multiple misplaced singles opportunities, missed two shots, and three more times were sent to the free throw line. Even if all the free throws were hit, they would not be recorded as the passer's assist.

In the final quarter, Guo Xu was substituted for 7 minutes. The final data was 41 points, 5 rebounds, 17 assists and 2 steals. The gap widened to 25 points. The Hawks replaced all the main players in advance and surrendered, not wanting to give Guo Xu a chance to score 40+20.

Hyde became a key figure in the final quarter. As soon as he got on the court, the score difference was widened, and the black hole on the defensive end was not the second place. As long as Peyton did not play as the guest star in No. 2, Ariza and Howard could rely on their bodies to seize Hyde.

Heide, who is 191cm tall and weighs 84 kilograms, is not as good as Guo Xu's ability to fight. One round, he was unstable after being deflated by Guo Xu. He turned around and was intercepted by Guo Xu successfully, which disappointed the Hawks coaching staff.

Unless he switches to point guard, Hyde cannot train, but his body is filled with the soul of the point guard and lacks the vision of passing the ball, so he is destined to have no future.

The Suns won 127-101 in the final game, winning five consecutive victories.

After the game, no one said that the Suns could not make the playoffs and were beaten to the second place in the Eastern Conference. The momentum was clearly that they still had to compete for the championship.

Nash scored 30 points and 12 assists. Have you watched the game online? Fans who only read the data said that Nash performed not inferior to Guo Xu, and his teammates performed poorly, which led to losing. Nash blushed after reading this kind of news.

In the second half, Hyde and Childris were usually defending Guo Xu. If Nash had been defending, Guo Xu would not have scored 41 points and 17 assists, but would have scored 60+ strongly to lead the team to win. Moreover, Guo Xu made a lot of shots in the second half. If he had been defending closely, his score might not be half of today's data.

Fans also found that under the leadership of Guo Xu, a group of substitute players in the Suns have shown confidence again, just as he won with a group of new players when he first joined the Suns in 2002.

The task of a character player is very simple, which is to catch the ball and shoot, whether it is fast attack or position, just wait for Guo Xu to pass the ball. If the opponent has obvious defensive loopholes, such as when a person like Hyde is on the court, Guo Xu will also pass the ball to help them play. Ariza squeezed out Hyde's dunk twice after a cut, and once turned around and forced a fight at a low post.

The Suns' style of playing has formed a virtuous cycle. The role players can focus more on the defensive end. With the rotation of the lineup, they feel as if they can't use up their physical strength in every game.

Online media reports on the game and praise Guo Xu's words are not as exciting as the fans' messages.

News said that Guo Xu has scored 30+ in 13 consecutive games. Since the beginning of the season, he has only not scored 30+ against the Lakers. A fan immediately left a message: "There is still statistics for 30+? He got it in the first half, right?"

"Does he look down on Jason Guo in statistics? He really didn't score 30 points in a bad team like the Lakers, just a few minutes to play?"

"If he scores less than 50 points, don't count it. It doesn't make sense if he gets too many times."

The better Guo Xu performed, the more doubts the Lakers in the same district will be. In the same game, they lost 108 to 113 to the weak Timberwolves, with a start of 7 wins and 9 losses.

Before the game, many people said that Kobe was the only one day ago because he made 9 of 30 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the Lakers to narrowly defeat the Bobcats in the Eastern Conference with 1 point.

If Bogut hadn't made a lot of effort in this game, he would not have dragged Kobe's back legs, made 9 of 12 shots, made 3 of 4 free throws, scored 21 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, the Lakers might have lost. Kobe helped the ball in the second half of the last quarter, and Bogut grabbed 4 frontcourt rebounds and scored three key goals.

Kobe got angry when he played against the Timberwolves and said I was the only one, right? I won’t vote anymore, so I will cooperate according to the coach’s arrangement.

As a result, three players from the Lakers team had 20+ and five scored in double digits. Kobe made 9 of 16 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, and only took action when there was a good chance of singles, which was very efficient.

Unfortunately, there was another problem with the Lakers' defense.

The Timberwolves' offense relies on jump shots and breakthroughs, and rarely enters the penalty area. Bogut plays very uncomfortable. He also performs poorly on the offensive end, making 2 of 5 shots, only 4 points and 8 rebounds. Olavokandi has no other skills, and his defense in the penalty area is OK, and his physical condition is not inferior to anyone. The parallel-made No. 1 pick is also the No. 1 pick.

Caron Butler has been absent recently due to a shoulder injury, and the Lakers used Brian Cook as a small forward.

Although Cook's offense was good in this game, 8 of 16 shots in 35 minutes, 3 free throws, scoring 19 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, his defense was really bad, seriously dragging the hind legs of Kobe, who was often selected for the best defense team.

Timberwolves' small forward Szebiak made 12 of 16 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 34 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, with amazing efficiency.

As for why Kobe has been following blue-collar defender Trenton Hassel and is not in charge of defending Szebiak, this is a mystery, only Kobe knows the answer.
