Chapter 737 [Records are used to break]

The next day, the Suns easily defeated the Clippers with 17 points without any resistance.

The Suns players' defense is no longer serious, and their offensive choices are relatively casual. They are not a straightforward cooperation. The Clippers can't defend themselves even if they play improvised.

Livingston did not play, and he sprained his knee in a match against the Trail Blazers last week and would miss six to eight weeks. He could escape next month's game with the Bobcats, which may lead to a great change in fate.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Livingston made a layup in February 2007 when he landed a layup with the Bobcats in February 2007 and broke it to the inside. The severe pain made Livingston's screams heart-wrenching, and the scene was quite tragic. Youtube once uploaded a video of Livingston being injured. NBA official believes that this scene is too cruel. Many fans are so scared that they dare not make a layup after watching it. NBA asked youtube to delete the video.

Although the final examination result avoided amputation, Livingston's knee injury was still shocking, with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint, lateral meniscus tear, patellar dislocation, and anterior tibial culprit dislocation. Livingston's knee injury is much more mild, and it is only possible to treat conservatively like Odom.

Guo Xu, Xiao Si and Roy are the chance to fight alone. The Clippers players cannot defend themselves. Marion can only catch the ball in the counterattack, and most of the time they play in the positional battle.

In December, the Suns continued their storm journey and maintained a complete victory. The only threat to them was the Wizards, the Trident led by Arenas and the Suns fought for attack. They didn't bite them in the last two minutes and lost 7 points.

Guo Xu and Roy were 30+, and S also scored 20+. Larry Hughes was defeated both in defense of Guo Xu and Roy. The Wizards management could only helplessly accept the fact that his strength was seriously overestimated. Hughes also had no choice but to do anything with Guo Xu on the offensive end. He mainly relied on breakthrough points, and he had not practiced mid- and long-distance shooting well for many years in the league.

The Suns did not participate in the Christmas game again, and the league only arranged one Lakers vs. Heat, and did not look for the team to let Guo Xu abuse it.

Stern regrets the arrangement of this game. Kobe met O'Neal, which easily reminds people of the contradictions of the "ok combination". If O'Neal said something, it may also inspire the contradictions within the Lakers.

The result of the game was that the Lakers lost 12 points to the Heat, whose strength had declined a lot.

Kobe's touch was terrible, with 4 of 17 shots, 0 of 4 of 3-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 16 points and 4 assists. If Artest hadn't performed well, 10 of 16 shots, 4 of 8 of 3-pointers, 4 of 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, the Lakers would have to conquer the gun in the first half.

All teams know how to defend Kobe. As long as he doubles up near the penalty area and force him to pass the ball, he can reduce his efficiency. Once his singles at a low post are not accurate, it will definitely be a blacksmith performance. In the second half, he will not dare to shoot, and he will lose both mid- and long distances.

After the game, many fans on the Internet criticized Kobe for robbing the ball rights of his inside teammates and deprived Bogut. Some fans also dislike Artest and believed that he and Kobe should give Bogut a lob so that the big man could take more shots.

Bogut performed well in both offense and defense, making 6 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 14 points and 10 rebounds. His data is not as good as O'Neal and is more efficient. He had no thoughts at the press conference. He was already desperate and had no other thoughts except leaving the Lakers.

Kobe and his teammates became increasingly stiff. After being criticized by Artest, his shots increased, and he was determined to win the scoring champion. Odom was absent for at least six weeks due to a knee injury. Kobe had more reasons to take action. The second leader is gone. Will he let Arte make more shots if he doesn't make a shot?

Kobe scored 40+ in a row, averaging 28.4 points per game to second place in the scoring list, but the Lakers' record has declined. The price of his extra move is to destroy the overall cooperation of the team.

This is how Kobe's two scoring champions came from in his previous life. He knew how to play easier to win. He rarely acted randomly after entering the playoffs and became much selfless. This is why Kobe's single-game score was far inferior to the regular season, but his shooting percentage at his peak in 2007-08 season reached 47.9%, averaging 30.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists led the Lakers to the Finals.

The Suns made great strides and beat the Pistons, the second-ranked Pistons in the East at the end of the month, 111-95 away.

Guo Xu played for 35 minutes, made 12 of 19 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 35 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists. Billups couldn't defend himself, and made a double-team, and it was that simple for the Suns to win.

The Suns also have an advantage in the inside, but Sir and Marion did not play much, so they mainly cover and cut, and do not take the ball to attack.

Their task is to protect the rebounds and withdraw Ben Wallace and Rashid Wallace from the basket. Once the Pistons' inside is empty, Roy and Guo Xu will show their power and have a lot of room for breakthrough.

The Suns have always maintained the lead, and they are too lazy to use the tactics of cutting Sharks. They defended the penalty area and finished it. Ben Wallace made 1 of 5 shots in the game, scored 2 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, and had no free throws.

After the game, some fans still said that Big Bo is the "team soul". In the Pistons system, his rebounds and block data are not bad. On the offensive end, his upper limbs, which is known as the strongest in the league, cannot beat Marion and Haslem. After turning around several times, he "throws discus" at the basket, giving people the feeling that the soul of the Piston is a iron.

Teammates like Da Ben, Guo Xu doesn’t want to get the basic salary, and he can be so angry when attacking.

Because Big Ben is too short and looks like a forward, and it is not powerful to cover his teammates, the opponent can easily bypass the defense. Coach Sanders knew this and asked him to stay near the penalty area and wait for a bargain. Going out to cover will only allow his outside teammates to be double-teamed, and the opponent will 100% empty him.

On January 2, Guo Xu won the Western Conference Player of the Month for the rest of the year and led the Suns to defeat the Bulls 107-86 away, with a 30-game winning streak.

After sending Tyson Chandler away, the Bulls' inside defense was completely over. With sharp attacks, they might be able to make the playoffs, but they didn't go far. Guo Xu played casually and played Jason Richardson to save face. He was not far from being traded by the Bulls.

Richardson's dunk was very beautiful, and he could be considered comprehensive inside and outside but completely unpopular, which was a bit weird.

In fact, the person the Bulls should leave the most is the general manager. His series of magical operations are unknown to describe. He felt that Chandler was not good enough to give it to the Hornets. The PJ Brown who was replaced could not be played can only be a substitute. He had a loophole as soon as he came on the court. He could not quickly switch to defenders without the ball cover, and he could easily be passed if he changed the defense.

Brown did not even play against Guo Xu, so Lowry could play with him. This is the only player the Bulls got from the Hornets. JR Smith was traded to the Nuggets by them, and performed very well and became the sixth player in the team.

After 30 wins in a row, everyone was discussing the possibility of the Suns breaking the regular season record. If this continues, it will not only break the Lakers' record, but it will really win 80 games.

Stars who have been teammates with Guo Xu will inevitably be interviewed by reporters. O'Neal said: "I think the Suns are likely to break the record because their current lineup is stronger than the Lakers' three consecutive championships and play more unitedly."

The reporter asked: "That record is a testimony to your friendship. Do you feel regretful?"

"There is one thing, but the record is used to break it. He has that strength. Amare is a big killer in the inside line. Roy is like Kobe back then. The Suns are really similar to the Lakers." O'Neal said with a smile.
