The Suns allowed fans to see clearly what "the West is strong and the East is weak". Putting aside Guo Xu's personal ability, the Eastern Conference teams alone cannot compare with the Suns. They do not have such strong pick-and-roll defense capabilities.

Felton's Tubzer burst in the last round was very exciting. The Cavaliers had to use joint defense tactics to shrink the penalty area, let the Knicks shoot in mid-range and long shots, and other players performed well.

This is not working against the Suns. Felton faced Ibaka, who had been defending for a while after playing the pick-and-roll. He could not get rid of it immediately with his strong speed. He could not complete the pass in a second, so Guo Xu bypassed the cover and caught up with him. It was difficult for him to get an easy chance to get out of his phone.

After a few rounds, Felton knew that he was done. His height of 185cm had no advantage against Guo Xu, and his speed was not as fast as Guo Xu. Even the power he was proud of could not resist Guo Xu. He was obviously bigger and his back was round, but Guo Xu could fight him.

After passing the ball to his teammate, Felton couldn't help but think: Could this guy be in the body of a machine skeleton? He is actually a robot, otherwise how could he be so powerful?

Felton and Paul entered the NBA in the same period in 2005 draft and often competed in college. He could best understand how strong Guo Xu's defensive ability is, which is more difficult than Paul.

The Knicks used up 24 seconds quickly, and Garlinari scored a single Thompson mid-range shot, 10-4.

The players were trapped in singles, which was not the Princeton routine that coach Adelman wanted.

In the Knicks' previous offensive system, there were various tricks such as defenders breaking the ball, inside empty cuts, Noah's high-level support, and several people kept sharing the ball. Now, no matter how many times the players pass, they end up playing singles. In addition to Guo Xu, the other four players can switch unlimited defenses.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu first passed it to Roy, and then ran to the weak side to catch the ball and got a single chance.

Smith vacancies Thompson and double-team Guo Xu. Adelman did not make any arrangements, and the players made spontaneous adjustments. If they don’t double-team Guo Xu, they will be crazy. Smith doesn’t want to see Guo Xu score a super high score in the finals and lead the team to win. No one wants to be the backbone for the opponent to break the record.

Guo Xu passed the ball to the bottom corner on the left. Thompson took the ball and made a quick move, and the ball was hollowed into the net. 13 to 4.

Adelman requested a timeout, and the team must strengthen their defense and the offense is not smooth.

Double-teaming Guo Xu is necessary, but Thompson still wants to win the game without a break? That's the difficulty is similar to going to the West to obtain the scriptures, and it's 99 to 81.

Thompson's playing time increased to 31 minutes in the playoffs, with a three-point shooting percentage of 42.5%, a 2.7 goal shooting percentage, and an overall shooting percentage of 47%, with a 16.6 point, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

As soon as Guo Xu made his strength in the playoffs, Thompson benefited from tactics and often got a chance to go out with his mobile phone.

Because Thompson's shooting is more stable, D'Antoni likes to let Roy stay on the other side, let Thompson and Guo Xu cooperate on one side. If the opponent plays an ordinary player, he can also play singles with the ball.

After the timeout, Adelman replaced Garlinari and sent Gordon Hayward, who was faster and more accurate in shooting, who was also in good passability.

The future of Hayward in the parallel world is a "giant pit" for destroying the Celtics, and now he is a newcomer with comprehensive potential.

The problem of insufficient experience of the Knicks players began to emerge. Felton continued to push the position, and the pace was very slow. As soon as the position was dropped, the Knicks' adjustment was useless. As long as the Suns' two inside players who are good at defense were placed, the defense in the penalty area was as solid as possible.

After several passes, Sir Jump shot a three-pointer that missed the basket and the rebound was grabbed by Gasol Jr.

In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu was double-teamed as soon as he passed the ball to Roy. Roy was in charge of the organization, Guo Xu and Thompson began to run under the cover of his inside teammates.

Guo Xu received the ball from the right and attracted double teams again, and passed the ball horizontally to Gasol on the right low post. Noah let out Ibaka to make up for the defense and held Gasol on the basket.

Gasol turned around and quickly moved the ball to 45 degrees on the left with one hand. Ibaka made an open mid-range shot and entered the net with a hollow. 15 to 4.

Seeing the Suns' unstoppable attack, Xiao Si felt that he was thinking too much before the game. The Knicks could not defeat the Suns. Except for his advantage in the face of Ibaka, he was at a disadvantage in other positions.

The two sides fought 40 to 20 in the first quarter. The Suns created many easy opportunities to make mobile phones, and all five players scored.

Guo Xu made 4 of 5 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 13 points and 5 assists.

Thompson made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 8 points; Ibaka made 4 of 4 shots, scoring 8 points.

Yu Jia commented: "The Suns' offense is too smooth. Four people can share the ball selflessly. Only Ibaka's pass is a little worse. The ball is in his hands and the end of the attack. His mid-range shot is very accurate."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "He often has an open position and can't be avoided. No matter what the pick is playing around Guo Xu, inside players can quickly show confidence."

Adelman boldly arranged the double-guard tactic in the second quarter to try to grab the points. Felton, who had a 5-minute break in the first quarter, was present together with Darren Collison, who had traded from the Hornets in the mid-term.

Collison is 183cm tall and weighs 79kg, and defense is not within Adelman's consideration. He is a fierce man who dares to let Brooks and Lowry play together, and he firmly believes that Felton's guest appearance as No. 2 can limit Roy.

However, it was not possible. Roy scored consecutively against Felton, and he played casually without double-teaming. He quickly widened the gap to 28 points and suspended the Knicks.

Felton was confused by misplaced, suspected that the head coach had a grudge against him and did not want him to get a big contract in the summer, so as long as he was present, he would let the opponent defend the strongest scoring point.

Felton didn't even hear the tactics the coach said clearly on the sidelines, and only thought about one question in his mind.

Isn't this a tormenting person? I haven't been selected for the best defensive team, and this is not my task when I was with the Bobcats.

The timeout ended without realizing it, and Felton returned to the field and continued to be beaten.

Fortunately, Felton was relieved in the second half. Because the score difference between the two sides reached more than 30 points and entered garbage time, Guo Xu was already drinking drinks on the sidelines and became the audience, so he didn't have to go on the court to suffer.

The Knicks' substitute is not weak, Collison, Fields, Hayward, Brandon White, and Aaron Gray.

The substitute lineup of other teams Knicks can definitely be called "bench bandits", but it is not as strong as the Suns, and the garbage time is also suppressed.

Any marginal people like Whiteside are enough for the Knicks. They hit pick-and-roll and empty cuts and rush to catch the ball, and they are dunks. Thomas Jr. and Jeremy Lin's double guards made a sharp breakthrough, and the blue-collar Gray wanted to give up basketball and go to the hospital to be an intern.

The Suns beat 46 points in the final game at 134 to 88.

If this difference is made in the first game, how can there be suspense in the finals? People have started to discuss that the Suns will be about to win four consecutive championships.

After two games, they arrived at New York home court. David Stern increased the Knicks' home whistle. The star whistle gave them a lot of free throws.

However, it is useless. The Suns' offense cannot be limited by the home whistle, unless Felton and Collison can attack Guo Xu and do not foul the enemy. Unfortunately, both of them have average defensive abilities.

Guo Xu made 9 three-pointers in the third game, including 5 three-pointers in a single quarter in the third quarter, leading the team to lead 3-0 to secure the victory.

In the fourth game, Guo Xu usually started to break through and pass the ball, and there was always a way to pass the two point guards to launch a counterattack. He was more flexible than Felton and stronger than Collison.
