The next day, the Suns held an open training session at the American Airlines Center.

The amount of training for the players is not large, and the training is based on the competition, and the group confrontation game has been played for 4 quarters, and some people have scored, which is very formal.

Even before training camp began, the Suns used local media to promote the open matchup, and in addition to season ticket holders, other fans could also pay a small amount of money to watch the game.

After reaching the Western Conference finals last season, Suns fans have become more loyal, and the training games are full of spectators. The Suns did not disappoint them, using the All-Star Game style of play, the offensive and defensive pace was very fast, and there were many wonderful combined goals.

The Orange team led by Guo Xu attacked smoothly, suppressing the white team led by Marion, and finally won by 24 points.

His team-mates were mainly newcomers, Rajabel, Howard, Haslem and Stoudayre, and the substitutes were Diop and James Jones.

Facts have proved that as long as Guo Xu and Xiao Si block and dismantle, the Sun is a strong team and can't prevent it at all.

The newly joined Bale has become the third bright spot of the orange team, he and Guo Xu cooperate very tacitly, will keep a distance from Guo Xu on the weak side, once the defender goes to the bag, he will take the ball and shoot very resolutely.

When he was in the Mavericks, Bale came off the bench and was tasked with creating heads-up opportunities for Van Exel, and the Suns had a similar routine, and he didn't need to practice.

Bell was sure of an open three-pointer, hitting six three-pointers and scoring 22 points on two rebounding layups, which won the applause of the fans.

On the side of the white team, Nene and Marion have a high popularity, and they staged many violent dunks in the counterattack, showing their terrifying physical fitness.

Second-round rookie point guard Steve Blake was solid on both ends of the floor and was an instant hitter, hitting four three-pointers. When Guo Xu is far away, he can use his height advantage on the periphery to pull out, and he will also use his teammates' covering positions to run to catch the ball.

Blake's weakness is that his speed is too slow, and the speed of holding the ball when counterattacking cannot be compared with Guo Xu, and the opponent can't pass him alone, what he is good at is not breakthrough technology but ball protection technology. So, despite his excellent passing awareness, he didn't have many assists in college.

Even so, Blake's performance was a good substitute, much better than the management and coaching staff predicted, and it was a surprise in the summer.

Blake's breakthrough ability is average, the whites can still play counterattacks, Kirisek and Joe Johnson can both break through with the ball, and the Suns' rotation is stronger than last season.

The two veterans, Kukoc and Gugliotta, have not performed much, and they will certainly not play long in the new season.

Kukoc's form is not good, and he can only be a fringe man in the new season. He had three straight championships with the Bulls, three championship rings, and a big contract, and he couldn't have pursued a career long since he did, and he couldn't have practiced like a young player.

Over the next week, D'Antoni began to experiment with some new styles of play, and the two lineups were playing against each other.

There is a gap between the substitute attack and the starter, Diop can only move around the penalty area, and he can't block and dismantle.

This upset D'Antoni, but in order to win a championship, he still had to listen to some advice from Larry Drew and let the players take some time off to practice defensively.

The team's starters still play small-ball tactics, and the inside line Xiao Si and Marion are high and fast, so as to ensure the strongest attack, as long as Guo Xu is clamped, there will be opportunities.

Substitutes Nene and Haslem are also in a similar configuration, and the two have better defense, both can resist people, and can also prevent pick-and-rolls. They're not pure blue-collar and have a role to play on the offensive end.

Unless he faces an opponent with a strong attack in the low post, Diop is the team's third centre-forward, sitting on the bench and waiting for his chance to play.

At the start of the preseason in October, the Suns showed their strength in their first game, beating the Eastern Conference champions Nets 109-91.

Before the regular season began, the management of the Nets had an ominous premonition, and the newly signed "kidney fighter" Mo Ning did not perform well, and his strength could not even reach seventy percent of his peak.

Mo Ning has been ill for a year, the amount of training is not enough, the decline in physical fitness is inevitable, and the once stable mid-range shot is not allowed.

On the defensive end, Mo Ning ran very hard, unable to keep up with the rhythm of Xiao Si and Guo Xu's blocking, he defended Guo Xu, passed Xiao Si to cut in the air, followed Xiao Si, Guo Xu got rid of Kidd and shot.

The Nets let Martin defend and dismantle, and Guo Xu's pass to Marion was an opportunity. "The Hacker" has top-notch off-ball ability, can not only catch the ball and cut inside to hit the basket, but also receive the ball in the middle and long range and shoot quickly, and he is misplaced to play Mourning.

Guo Xu can also hold the ball and misplace Martin, and Kidd will also have a chance to chase the bag.

Last season, almost all teams chose to guard against Guo Xu, leaving one person near the penalty area to defend the air and put Xiao Si on the periphery to shoot.

In the new season, the opponent couldn't defend himself so much, and Xiao Si made 5 mid-range shots in the whole game. He was still unsure from beyond the three-point line, but his 17-foot jumper was enough to give opponents a headache, and the tactical effect was even greater.

Bell and Joe Johnson were able to open up space on the offensive end to catch and shoot, and they were also good on the defensive end.

BELL IS STRONG, 196CM TALL AND WEIGHS 97 KG. He is good at kraft candy defense, constantly pestering and interfering with opponents, which is similar to Kobe's defensive method, and his physical fitness is inferior.

Joe Johnson is of similar height and weight to Richard Jefferson, and he doesn't suffer a loss against it. In Guo Xu's previous life, Joe Johnson was almost always a point guard, and in fact, his size is more suitable for a small forward.

In the second quarter, the Suns also had the upper hand, mainly because of the obvious advantage of the inside line, both ends of the interior and interior offense and defense can be used as axes on the inside, and they can cut in the air after pulling out to cover, and they can play hard when they catch the ball in the low post.

Haslem can't attack with the ball, but the opponent can't let him go, and the shot is sure to catch the ball.

The Suns' apparent weakness is only the bench's poor perimeter defense, which can be compensated, and neither Blake nor Kirisek can play for long. If the score can't be pulled, Guo Xu will rest for the first 6 minutes of the second quarter.

The Suns won two and three games against the Nuggets, and the Nuggets without Nene are weaker than in their previous lives, they haven't dug Kenyon Martin yet, and the defense is too poor. With one important teammate missing, Guo Xu suspects that Anthony may not be able to lead the team to the playoffs.

In Game 4, the Suns easily defeated the Clippers by 27 points, and the Clippers roster became weaker than in the previous two seasons.

The Suns lost to the Lakers 101-105 in Game 5, and the Suns beat the Lakers 107-95 a day later.

Both teams have reservations, except for Guo Xu and Kobe, the others don't play much, all of them are within 30 minutes, and they are mainly based on the run-in lineup.

On the court, the Suns had a slight upper hand, and the role players who lost were too iron-clad. Guo Xu has not made many shots in the preseason, mainly passing the ball to his teammates, and cooperating more to find feelings. He didn't score more than 20 points in both games, but he recorded a double-double of points and assists.

The Lakers' most eye-catching performer was Kobe Bryant, who scored 35 and 38 points in two games, and took more than 25 shots in both games.

Without the trouble of the "Eagle County incident", Kobe Bryant seems to have endless energy, he doesn't need O'Neal and Malone to block and dismantle, he can score alone, and he is happy to do it.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson is starting to have a headache, and this is not the way he arranged the distribution of the ball. O'Neal has always been dissatisfied with Kobe Bryant being too alone, and Malone and Payton have also become blue-collar in the preseason, and they have pulled away to see Kobe playing there.

Teammates won't say anything in the preseason, and if Kobe Bryant still chooses to play more singles in the regular season, the Lakers locker room is only afraid that something will happen.

In Game 7, the Suns defeated the Trail Blazers 117-98 at home, ending the preseason with a 6-1 record...... (https:)
