Six minutes later, the difference between the two teams had widened to 25 points.

The Cavaliers' No. 1 spot depth is the league's bottom, and the only good news is that there is no high-paying long-term contract to sign Larry Hughes, one less garbage contract.

Snow can't stop Guo Xu, he is only 33 years old, not very old, but his state has declined very obviously, and after leaving the 76ers, he has become a little unable to play.

AT 191 CM TALL AND WEIGHING 86 KILOGRAMS, SNOW LACKS PHYSICAL TALENT AND RELIES ON A DEDICATED DEFENSE AND A MODEST PLAYMAKING TO GAIN A FOOTHOLD IN THE NBA. He has been the main defensive shooting guard when the 76ers have partnered with Iverson, and the defensive speed has suffered.

And Snow's defense was taught by Payton, Guo Xu practiced with Payton for two years in the Suns and knew his style well. Against Snow, he first blocked and dismantled, as long as he attracted the big man to change the defense, this attack would be more stable.

Snow has a high probability that he will choose to chase the guard, not to change the defensive coverer, Guo Xu buried his head to the bottom line, Big Z must follow, and if he doesn't follow him, he will go to the basket and make a layup. Guo Xu attracted the bag on the weak side, and the ball was divided into the middle of the air to David Lee.

David Lee finally made a majestic play, a dunk under the basket, a strong hit to Marshall, and another time to attract Marshall's defense to split the ball and assist Jones to shoot a three-pointer.

The Cavaliers can only replace Big Z in advance, he can't defend and dismantle, and he can't stay in the restricted area all the time, the Suns play small-ball tactics, Jones's cameo power forward doesn't score the three-point line at all, and it must be defended by people with strong mobility.

Howard, who rested for a while, came back, and the Cavaliers couldn't play at all, they had to wrap Guo Xu, and passing to Howard was an opportunity, and he could still break through with the ball when the inside defense came out.

Boozer's defensive ability is far from Duncan's, he is not the kind of person who can play in the restricted area, and his only specialty is resistance and control of rebounding. At 206CM, he is heavier than David Lee, his movement speed is slow, and the sun does not attack strongly, who is he fighting against?

At halftime, the Suns led by 32 points.

Barkley commented: "With this kind of gap between the two sides, Jason Guo actually said before the game that the win and loss were 55 open, and the Cavaliers also had a chance to win? ”

Kenny Smith laughed: "Maybe he wants to win the opponent first, and then look stronger after winning." ”

"I've never seen anyone so brazen."

These are not Buckley's original words, but they are roughly what they mean.

At halftime, a reporter interviewed three injured Suns who were sitting in the front row. They have already entered the recovery period, can walk activities, and today they arrived at the scene, watching the game in suits and leather shoes, cheering for their teammates.

The videographer gave them close-ups many times to see what their expressions were. Marion and Smalls applaud every time the Suns score a great goal and are happy for their teammates. Anyway, they have a big contract again, or the top salary, and there is nothing wrong with lying down to win the ring.

They don't want to leave the team, and if the Suns continue to play like this, they are expected to create a terrifying record of four consecutive championships next season. With 4 consecutive titles won by 30 teams competing for more than 8 consecutive titles by 9 Celtics, who wouldn't want to be part of a legendary team and make a name in history?

Nene has a bitter face, and he can't laugh when he says good things about his teammates when he is interviewed.

He was a free agent in the summer, and he didn't play this season, and the Suns are now beating their opponents in the Finals, so it is clear that he is not needed, and with David Lee as a replacement, he will not be given a high-salary offer.

Nene and his agent can't say that the Suns management is ruthless, originally the Suns thought about renewing the contract early and offered an annual salary of tens of millions, but he gave up on his own. The fans won't pity Nene either, he is really asking for trouble, because Guo Xu asked everyone to have a physical examination together, and he saved him a ball in the summer, and he was benevolent.

In the second half, Guo Xu rested for a while, and the Suns' offense immediately became very bad, James limited Howard with a single defense, and other players couldn't share the ball and pass it freely, without Guo Xu, the fast break couldn't be played.

The Cavaliers took the opportunity to recover 14 points and narrow the gap to within 20 points. D'Antoni replaced Guo Xu back, and the situation was immediately reversed, and the score difference widened again.

Coach Brown racked his brains in order to restrict Guo Xu, and let James try both single defense and bag clipping, but no one could prevent it one-on-one. James is too big, and it is not difficult for Guo Xu to break through him. It is theoretically said that he can defend 5 positions, and he can do it against point guards who have no range, and Guo Xu, a person like Guo Xu who soars three points from the outside, makes his head big.

And Guo Xu can't let James defend when he plays without the ball, he keeps running, how much strength can he leave on the offensive end? In the end, he had to cramp, and his consumption was much greater than Guo Xu's.

Only 4 minutes were played in the final quarter, and the difference widened to 35 points, Guo Xu was replaced to rest and left work early.

He played 34 minutes, shooting 12-of-18, 5-of-9 from three-point range, and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, scoring 37 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals.

The Suns beat the Cavaliers by 38 points 125-87, just as easily as they did when they beat the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, with six players scoring in double figures.

James' defensive stats were simply unreadable, with 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and a game-high 6 turnovers on 5-of-18 shooting, 2-of-6 three-pointers, and 2-of-4 free throws. His stats weren't as good as Howard's, who finished with 20 points and seven rebounds on 8-of-15 shooting, 4-of-5 free throws, no three-pointers, and no assists.

Howard did a good job of completing the task assigned by the coaching staff, scoring two points from mid-range when opponents locked up the perimeter and the box.

At the press conference, the reporter asked about Guo Xu's prediction of 55 wins.

Guo Xu said regretfully: "Okay, I overestimated the knights, I thought they would be difficult to fight, because many people said on the Internet that the pattern of the west being strong and the east weak has changed, and now it seems that the west is still stronger." ”

The reporter asked: "You don't shoot much, and you don't jump much, do you have any reservations?" ”

"Who will have a reservation in the finals? That's how I play with all my might, and you don't necessarily need to jump to play well. I don't have to score more than 50 points in every game, I believe in my teammates' ability to score. ”

The Cavaliers all admitted in interviews that there was a gap between the two sides, but they would not easily admit defeat, saying that this was only the first game, and the Cavaliers had a chance to turn the tables.

However, not many people believe this, and online fans are unanimously optimistic about the Suns winning the championship.

In the second game, the Suns won 113-75 at home, which was another slaughter, and even the point difference was the same.

The Suns' style of play remains the same, and on the offensive end, Guo Xu relies on covering the running position to catch the ball and shoot or break through, attracting the ball after the bag; On the defensive end, he put a mid-to-long-range shot, and the bag tightly prevented James from breaking through.

James shot a lot of shots, shooting just 40 percent from the field and missing all six from beyond the three-point line. Put him two steps on the outside, and when he makes a move, he reaches forward and reaches out to interfere slightly, and it will work.

The Cavaliers' interior line also did not show an advantage, and the big Z was a defensive loophole when he came on the court, either by Guo Xu, or by watching Guo Xu easily shoot by covering the ball.

The "elevator door cover" trick is not easy to break, Guo Xu played for 33 minutes, and he didn't waste any effort and cut 30+10.

The media believes that there is no suspense in the finals, the Cavaliers guard is too poor, not only can't prevent it, but the offensive end can't give Guo Xu any pressure, and he is dead guarded. Guo Xu can also recover some physical strength on the defensive end, because the Cavaliers guard is not responsible for breaking through.

The third game was played on the home court of the Cavaliers, and it was one-sided, even if Guo Xu's three-point crosshairs deteriorated and the Cavaliers couldn't withstand it, he could still launch a fast attack to assist his teammates or break through himself.

Vallejo cut 14 points and 10 rebounds, Big Z didn't play, he had a physical advantage in the air after covering, Big Z came on the court, he only covered enough.

109-92, the Cavaliers finally scored a score of 90, but still lost......
