Chapter 550 [75 wins and 7 losses, the best]
In the game against the Clippers, the whole team helped Marion brush up another wave of data, because the Clippers' two starting interior lines couldn't run fast, and Marion's starting position at the No. 4 position had an obvious tactical advantage in playing small ball. And the four masters have all brushed it once, can the three masters only do dirty work?
Although Marion couldn't defend the Clippers' star power forward Elton Brand, D'Antoni didn't make a substitution, he just wanted to create a mismatch to play counterattacks and score points.
Defend? Is it useful against the Clippers?
The Clippers are still very weak this season, and last summer they looked at the lineup that looked pretty good, selecting the talented high school zodiac En Livingston, and poaching the swingman of the Nets' 96-year golden generation, "Mosquito" Corey Kittels.
As a result, Kittels was reimbursed for 11 seasons, Livingston played 30 for the season, and Wilcox was in poor condition due to injury, playing and resting, and injuries continued.
His teammates not only helped Marion score, but also helped him rebound, just jamming people to make it easy for him to pick up rebounds. This kind of way is indispensable for anyone to rebound, not to mention Marion's accurate prediction of the direction in which the ball will pop up, and the bounce is amazing?
The Clippers defense is always half a beat slow, Guo Xu counterattacked, and the Clippers' 201CM point guard Yaric couldn't keep up with the speed and was easy to be passed. Brand is slow on the inside, and Carman is even more sluggish on the center.
It's a pity that Marion's shooting is inconsistent, and the scoring mainly relies on air cuts and fast breaks, and finally only scored a big double-double of 32 points, 26 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
The 26 rebounds in a single game set a new career high for Marion, compared to the previous record of 23 in a single game.
Guo Xu played 35 minutes, scored 17 points and handed out 22 assists.
The away game against the Warriors is also a simple game, this time it is everyone's turn to brush up the data for Xiao Si, and it is only fair for everyone to come to the last game. Guo Xu is brushing assists every game, everyone has no opinion, without him the offense would not be able to play so smoothly.
The Warriors' starting center is Troy Murphy, a softie who can only pull out and shoot, and the power forward is veteran Clifford Robinson, who can't keep the box at all. Adonal Foyer is a defensive blue-collar and sucks offensively.
The Byron Davis Warriors are still a weak team unless they are traded to defend the interior.
Smalls had 46 points, 13 rebounds and no assists. He staged 7 violent dunks, and the Warriors' home basket was about to be pulled down by him. It's a pity that this game is not broadcast live in the United States, and he is not enough to pull the wind.
Guo Xu scored 23 points and 20 assists, and assisted 20+ in a row.
If it weren't for the easy win against the Lakers, Guo Xu might have assisted 20+ in four consecutive games, and his average assists per game have reached 15.5, as long as he keeps it up, he can break the record.
Guo Xu has been elected the best player in the West for three consecutive months, and the Player of the Week has won more awards, even if his teammates play well, they can't steal the limelight from him.
On March 11, the Suns' 20-game winning streak came to an end, losing 118-127 at home to the Rockets.
This Rockets offense went crazy, Maddy had 38 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, Bell, Marion, and Howard couldn't prevent it, and he just pulled it out when he faced people. For a player of Maddy's style, the outside lineman bag is not very useful, and it still can't be blocked.
Yao Ming shot 11 of 18 and 7 of 8 free throws, and efficiently scored 27 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks to blow up Stadamire, and he was also in great shape.
Yao Ming's weight gain is redundant, he can now guard the penalty area, it is a heavy interior line of more than 130 kilograms, with his lower body strength, except for a little hard defense against O'Neal, there is no pressure to deal with others. On the offensive end, Yao Ming mainly relies on shooting, not squeezing to the basket like O'Neal to dunk, as long as he can protect the ball and turn around.
The Rockets no longer need Yao Ming to defend and dismantle, he just plays center, and the substitute is Mutombo. Starting power forward Juwan Howard has a mid-range shot that can pull away, and the substitute is Ryan Bowen, who is good at defense and has been teammates in the Lakers and Guo Xu.
The Rockets' weakness is still the point guard, although it didn't take much effort to dig up Bob Sula, but Van Gundy made him start with a defensive black hole, and the movement speed is too slow and easy to be passed. Guo Xu scored 45 points and 8 assists this time, but his teammates had a poor hand and wasted a lot of opportunities.
After beating the Bulls, the Suns lost to the Heat on the road.
O'Neal, Wade, Eddie Jones and others played well, and guard Damon Jones hit four three-pointers to win 123-116 and beat the Suns on offense.
Guo Xu won the big two double-doubles to no avail, and the Heat attacked more fiercely. The Heat can still play without Haslem, and they brought in a No. 4 player in the summer, and they did well.
This man is the Bulls' "tattooed man" Marcus Fetzel, who was originally drafted by the Bobcats and wanted a middle-class contract, but was abandoned if he couldn't negotiate properly. What qualifies a player who has never played in the playoffs to claim a high salary? When the Bulls were in a slump, he averaged just 25.8 minutes per game at his peak, with 12.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
After Fitzel was waived, other teams were reluctant to give him a middle class, and finally chose a base salary to join the Heat. As a result, he successfully lost weight after a period of practice with the Heat, and performed well off the bench.
Fitzel is a short power forward who can defend pick-and-rolls, and he can also pull up and catch shots after blocking and picking on the offensive end. He can also occasionally make cameo appearances as a center forward and play with Baxter's two short inside linemen.
The Suns didn't lose again in March, and at the end of the month staged a classic run-and-gun battle, beating the Nash-led Hawks by eight points.
Guo Xu slashed 31 points and 20 assists, which was the fifth time in his career that he was 30+20 and continued to refresh the historical record.
Nash can imitate the Suns' style of play, but his personal ability is not as good as Guo Xu's, and the heads-up is obviously at a loss, and the Suns' interior strength is also better than the Hawks, and he wins steadily with his offense.
The Hawks were swept 2-0 by the Suns in the regular season, and Nash still can't pass Guo Xu's hurdle unless he has better teammates.
In Guo Xu's previous life, if Nash had a stronger heads-up ability or better defense, the Suns would have won the championship. He is limited by physical fitness and cannot dominate the court by heads-up, not because the fans say that the offense is not strong.
When facing Guo Xu, Nash wanted to win very much but couldn't, and Guo Xu's style obviously restrained him.
Heading into the first game of April, the Suns vs Trail Blazers.
Trail Blazers power forward Darko Milicic played 37 minutes and recorded a double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds. He has been outstanding this season, taking the place of Randolph in his previous game, and has the ball to take on more attacking responsibilities.
The goal of the Trail Blazers this season is to swing badly, and the main tactic is the blocking and dismantling of "Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudamire and Milicic, as long as "Little Flying Squirrel" can't break through, it will be passed to Milicic in the middle.
Milicic played an average of 35.8 minutes per game, scoring 17.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 blocks.
At present, the Pistons fans are getting louder and louder to let Larry Brown go out of class, and the interior of Milicic's body is actually a marginal person guarding the water cooler in the Pistons, and he can't get any training.
Milicic has better stats than Rasheed Wallace this season and looks more promising in terms of age and quality.
The Suns continued to win this month, and almost all teams couldn't stand it, sweeping the Mavericks and Spurs in the regular season.
The Suns lost their seventh game on April 7 to the Grizzlies, and they won the rest of the game to finish 75-7. The Suns won the best regular season record for two consecutive seasons, and Guo Xu won all the Western Conference Player of the Month awards.
Experts predict that he is likely to win the MVP three times in a row......
