The next day, the Suns easily beat the Clippers by 17 points without encountering any resistance.

The Suns players' defense is already very unserious, and the offensive options are relatively casual, not a one-by-one game, and the Clippers can't prevent it under improvisation.

Livingston did not play, having sprained his knee in last week's game against the Trail Blazers and will miss six to eight weeks. As a result, he will be able to avoid the game against the Bobcats next month, and perhaps a blessing in disguise and a huge change in fortune.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Livingston made a layup with the Bobcats in February 2007 when his left knee was weirdly bent and broke inward. The pain was so intense that Livingston's screams were heart-rending, and the scene was quite tragic. Youtube once uploaded a video of Livingston's injury, and the NBA official thought that this footage was too cruel, and many fans would be too scared to go to the basket after watching it, and the NBA asked YouTube to delete the video.

Although amputation was avoided, Livingston's knee injuries were shocking, with rupture of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, a torn lateral meniscus, a dislocation of the patella, and a severed head of the anterior tibia. Livingston's knee injury is now much lighter, and it can be treated conservatively like Odom.

Guo Xu, Xiao Si, and Roy are heads-up is an opportunity, the Clippers players can't defend themselves, Marion can only catch the ball in the counterattack, and most of the positional battle is soy sauce.

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

Guo Xu and Roy are 30+, and Xiao Si also cut 20+. Larry Hughes was deflated by both Guo Xu and Roy, and the Wizards management could only reluctantly accept the fact that his strength was seriously overrated. Hughes can't do anything about Guo Xu on the offensive end, he mainly relies on breakthrough scoring, and he hasn't practiced medium and long-distance shooting for many years in the league.

The Suns did not participate in the Christmas War, and the league only arranged a Lakers VS Heat, and Guo Xu was abused by not looking for a team.

Just arranged this game Stern is a little regretful, Kobe Bryant meets O'Neal, it is easy for people to recall the contradiction of the "OK combination", what O'Neal says, it may also stimulate the contradiction within the Lakers.

The result of the game was a 12-point loss for the Lakers to the Heat, who had dropped a lot of strength.

Bryant had a terrible hand, shooting 4-of-17, 0-of-4 from three-point range, and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, finishing with 16 points and four assists. If it weren't for Artest's excellent performance, shooting 10-of-16, 4-of-8 three-pointers, 4-of-4 free throws, and churning out 28 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, the Lakers would have had to shoot at halftime.

Teams know how to defend Kobe Bryant, and just wrapping him around the box and forcing him to pass can reduce efficiency. Once he didn't shoot accurately in the singles in the low post, Bacheng was an iron performance, and he didn't dare to shoot in the second half, and he lost all the middle and long distances.

After the game, many fans on the Internet criticized Kobe Bryant for stealing the ball from his interior teammates and scrapping Bogut. There are also fans who are disgusted with Artest, thinking that he and Kobe Bryant should give Bogut a drop ball and let the big man shoot more.

Bogut performed well on both ends of the floor, shooting 6-of-7 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 14 points and 10 rebounds. His stats are not inferior to O'Neal's, he is more efficient, but he didn't feel anything at the press conference, he was desperate and had nothing else to think about but leaving the Lakers.

The relationship between Kobe Bryant and his teammates became more and more stiff, and after being sprayed by Artest, his shots increased, and he was determined to win the scoring title. Odom has been out for at least six weeks due to a knee injury, Kobe Bryant has a reason to shoot more, and the second leader is gone, so if he doesn't shoot, will he let that Atay shoot more?

Kobe Bryant scored 40+ points in a row, averaging 28.4 points per game to chase the second place on the scoring list, but the Lakers' record declined, and the price of his extra shots was to destroy the team's overall cooperation.

That's how Kobe Bryant's two scoring champions came about in his previous life, he knows how to play easier to win, and he rarely messes around after entering the playoffs, and he will become much more selfless. That's why Bryant scored far less points in a single game in the playoffs than in the regular season, but in the 2007-08 season he shot 47.9% from the field at his peak, averaging 30.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game to lead the Lakers to the Finals.

The Suns went on a high-flying streak to beat the second-place Pistons in the East 111-95 at the end of the month.

Guo Xu played 35 minutes, shooting 12-of-19, 6-of-11 three-pointers, and 5-of-5 free throws, scoring 35 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists. Billups couldn't defend himself, and the Suns were so easy to win.

The Suns also have an advantage inside, but Xiao Si and Marion didn't play much, mainly covering and cutting in the air, and not attacking with the ball.

Their task is to protect the rebound, pull Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace out of the basket, and once the Pistons are empty inside, Roy and Guo Xu will have a lot of room to break through.

The Suns have always maintained the lead, and they didn't even bother to use the shark slashing tactics, and the United defended the restricted area. Ben Wallace shot 1-of-5 from the field, had 2 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, and made no free throws.

After the game, there are still fans who say that Daben is the "soul of the team", and his rebounding and blocking data are not bad in the Pistons system. On the offensive end, his so-called strongest upper body strength in the league couldn't beat Marion and Haslem, and he "threw the discus" to the basket after turning around several times, giving people the feeling that the soul of the Pistons is iron.

A teammate like Big Ben, Guo Xu doesn't want to get a basic salary, and he can be angry when he attacks.

Because Big Ben is too short and has a body like a striker, it is not powerful to cover his teammates, and it is easy for the opponent to bypass the pursuit. Coach Sanders knew this, so he let him stay near the box and wait for the leak, going out to cover would only make his outside teammates trapped, and the opponent would be 100% empty.

On January 2, Guo Xu won the Western Conference Player of the Month for a second consecutive year, and led the Suns to a 107-86 away victory over the Bulls, bringing the opening winning streak to 30 games.

After sending away Tyson Chandler, the Bulls' interior defense is completely finished, and they may be able to make the playoffs with their sharp offense, but they won't go far. Guo Xu casually hit Jason Richardson Jr. to save face, and he was not far from being traded by the Bulls.

Richardson's dunk is beautiful, and it can be called comprehensive inside and out, but it is completely unpopular, which is a bit strange.

In fact, the person who should go most of the bull is the general manager, and his series of magical operations make people not know how to describe it. He felt that Chandler couldn't give it to the Hornets, and the PJ Brown who was replaced couldn't play and could only be a substitute, and as soon as he got on the court, he was a loophole, and he couldn't quickly change guards when he encountered off-ball cover, and it was easy to be passed when he changed defenses.

Brown didn't play against Guo Xu, and Lowry was able to play with him. It was the only player the Bulls got from the Hornets, and JR Smith was traded to the Nuggets by them and performed so well that he became the team's sixth man.

After 30 consecutive wins, everyone is discussing the possibility of the Suns breaking the record of the regular season, not only breaking the Lakers' record, but also taking 80 wins.

Stars who have been teammates with Guo Xu will inevitably be interviewed by reporters, O'Neal said: "I think the Suns have the potential to break the record, because their current roster depth is stronger and more united than when the Lakers won three consecutive championships." ”

The reporter asked: "That record is a testimony to your friendship, do you feel sorry?" ”

"There's a point, but records are meant to be broken, he has that strength, Amare is the inside killer, Roy is like Kobe Bryant, and the Suns and Lakers are really alike." O'Neill laughed.

Kobe Bryant refused to evaluate Guo Xu as usual, nor did he mention the matter of the Suns defending the title, and faced the camera with an expression of "you owe me 100 million". He doesn't say that reporters don't force him, just report it truthfully, and let fans guess Kobe's psychology.
