After the Heat were eliminated in the first round, O'Neal did not angrily criticize the referee, nor did he express too much thoughts at the press conference, and entered the holiday calmly.

O'Neal can fight on the court, but the ending is a "Buddhist player". It doesn't make sense if you think too much. You only get fifth place in the regular season. O'Neal knew that there would be no good results this year. Even if you break through in the East, he would not have the confidence to beat the Suns led by Guo Xu.

Heat coach Pat Riley was so angry that he frequently questioned the referee during the tiebreak game, but the referee ignored it. After that, Riley refused to give in and ended up taking a technical foul.

Riley's goal this season is to lead the Heat to win the championship. In just 21 games, Stan Van Gundy resigned from his position as head coach on the grounds of "to accompany his family". The team's president Riley once again took the position of the Heat's coach and was slapped in the face.

After reading the comments online, Guo Xu suspected that history might change dramatically. James beat the Wizards in his previous life, and it doesn’t matter if he attracts people. Now Heat fans and management hate James, and the meaning is different.

If James wants to play brothers basketball at the Heat in the future, will the Heat still be willing to poach him? If fans don’t like him, will his commercial value reach its peak in Miami?

Wade was the worst. 2006 should have been the most successful season of his career. He led the Heat to win the championship and won the FMVP. Without this honor, Wade would have a historical position in the future because he had never had the MVP in the regular season. If he was not careful, he would become a star like Cameron Anthony who only had data.

Before the second round of the game started, Guo Xu accepted an interview and predicted the game.

He smiled and said, "The Clippers are not our opponents. We have experience in winning consecutive championships. The Clippers' second round is a team record, and some gaps cannot be reflected by data. Moreover, the Clippers' point guard is Kassel... He doesn't have to worry, I will pass more balls, and I feel embarrassed to always grab someone and abuse them like in 2004."

When you hear such words, you don’t have to worry about the Suns players and fans. Kassel will definitely be very worried and will be brought up to the memories of the Western Conference Finals left by the Timberwolves.

The overall morale of the Clippers may also be affected. They do lack playoff experience and no first person has ever broken through the second round, including "Captain" Brand.

Moreover, their outside line cannot defend Guo Xu, so they must double-team. They beat the Suns in the regular season because they won the Suns by showing off their strength in the inside. Kassel was beaten to the side by singles. Kassel, 36, can score singles based on his skills and height advantages, but his lateral movement speed is getting slower and slower and he is restrained.

Guo Xu said that he would pass more balls and not abuse Kassel, which sounds like a contempt. If he really did this, the Clippers coaching staff would be grateful, and he would not have to be a background board in the playoffs.

After Guo Xu scored 101 points, his deterrence became extremely strong, and he could make his opponent feel nervous after saying a few words. During the rest period, the Clippers coaching staff mainly studied how to deal with him.

Guo Xu is a superstar who can lead the team to beat the Lakers, making Kobe angry and maliciously foul the elbow. Fortunately, Kobe is a role player in one match. He doesn't have direct conflict with him, so he makes things worse.

Whether it is the Lakers or the Clippers, the weaknesses in the No. 1 position are obvious and there are no stars. The Clippers' substitute point guard is Livingston, who is 201cm tall. Although he has a high pick, his style is more like a swingman. He will not have a good result when he defends Guo Xu.

After playing four games in the regular season, the Suns coaching staff also figured out the Clippers' path and prepared to fight back firmly, fighting against the Clippers for offense.

The first battle was held in Phoenix City, Suns: Guo Xu, Blake, Howard, Haslem, and Valaijo.

Valecho must strengthen the defense of the penalty area, and all four of them can participate in the fast break, two organization points, and two ball-holding offense points.

On the defensive end, Blake, who is 191cm tall and weighs 82 kg, plays the No. 2 position against the "old cat" Mobley and will not be crushed by his body. Mobley has always been a shooting guard who avoids playing, 193cm tall and weighs 86 kg.

Clippers: Cassel, Mobri, Quentin Rose, Brand, Kaman.

Radmanovic and Mageti are responsible for leading substitutes. Coach Dunleavy sent a blue-collar outside Ross to strengthen the wing defense and rely on him to defend Howard alone, otherwise Howard would have the ball and play singles as well.

Kaman won the jump ball and the game began.

Guo Xu said that he would not take the Clippers seriously, but he was fully focused when defending. He quickly chased and followed Cassel closely when encountering pick-and-roll. This man's mid-range shot was very accurate, so he couldn't let him take action easily.

Cassel passed the ball to Brand, who faced Vallejo in a low post. He turned around and hooked his hand and missed the rebound. Haslem grabbed the rebound.

The offense of the Suns' two inside lines is incomparable to the Clippers' inside lines, but if you only look at the defense, they are better than the Grizzlies in the last round.

D'Antoni arranged for man-to-man defense. Haslem dealt with Kaman because Kaman pulled out to play pick-and-roll most of the time, and Haslem could block the defender by switching defenses. When Guo Xu was in the process of chasing him, he had time to catch up with his own people.

Valaijo defended Brand's strong attack near the penalty area and had a height advantage. If Branda went out to shoot, he would keep a distance and try to interfere as much as possible. Brand's mid-range shot was not as efficient as low posts, and reducing his shooting percentage was considered to be defensive.

The Suns immediately counterattacked, Guo Xu received the ball and advanced at full speed, and the cross step in front of the three-point line changed direction, passing Kassel by speed.

Cassal did not dare to come up and foul, and the team still needed him to organize the attack. Guo Xu attracted Mobley to make up for defense and divided the ball. Blake caught the ball from the right corner and shot a three-pointer. 3-0.

When he returned to defense, Blake held his right fist to celebrate and was a team marginalist for two years. This season, he finally got the opportunity to prove himself, performed well, and became confident.

When the Clippers attacked, Kassel and Kaman failed to get rid of Guo Xu in the pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to the middle. Kaman took only one step and was blocked by Haslem. Although he had a height advantage, he was far away from the basket and did not choose to take action, and he gave it to Mobri on the outside.

Mobri beat Blake alone, changed direction and stopped a quick jump shot, avoided the block and made a blacksmith.

"Old Cat" has very low scoring efficiency this season, averaging 37.7 minutes per game, only scored 14.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 42.6%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%. The only advantage is that there are fewer shots, not only.

Mobley's three-pointers were excellent in the previous seasons, and it was inseparable from the cover of his teammates. After he joined the Clippers, Coach Dunleavy did not arrange the corresponding three-point tactics for him, so it became very difficult for him to take action.

The Suns attacked, Blake dribbled the ball to the frontcourt organization, Guo Xu ran up from the right corner, and Valejo had no ball cover to help him block Cassel.

Kassel's speed was much slower than Guo Xu. When he encountered a big man covering him, he was slower to chase him. Brand hurriedly changed defense and blocked Guo Xu, afraid that he would shoot three points.

After receiving the ball, Guo Xu did not make a fake shot, but directly broke through with force, took a step towards Brand and pulled the ball up. He took a big step and turned around and successfully passed by, and entered the penalty area in the middle.

Kassel failed to double-team, and was thrown away as soon as he caught up. Kaman retreated to the penalty area to make up for defense.

Guo Xu jumped up in the frame, and passed the ball to the left bottom line with both hands. Haslem received the ball at an open position, made a mid-range jump shot, and made a steadily shot. 5 to 0.

Haslem does not have the ability to play the offensive ability with the ball, which does not mean that he cannot play a role on the offensive end. His mid-range shooting percentage this season is 44.7%, and his ability to withdraw airs is very strong. Don’t underestimate this data, it is definitely accurate in the inside.
