On the 17th, the Suns' winning streak was ended, losing back-to-back 110-111 to the Wizards.

Not only did they lose, but they were also beaten by Wizards star point guard Arenas, and the "General" hit a fatal three-pointer against Guo Xu.

This time Guo Xu did not release the water, and the rest of the Suns' defense was also very focused, but they didn't defend it. The trident of Arenas, Larry Hughes, and Antoine Jamison is super attacking.

Arenas played 44 minutes, shooting 15-of-24, 5-of-9 from three-point range and 6-of-10 from the free-throw line to finish with 41 points, three rebounds and five assists.

Guo Xu played 43 minutes, shooting 15-of-33, 6-of-16 three-pointers, and 7-of-8 free throws, scoring 43 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

The mutual competition between the two stars made the fans very excited, but unfortunately Guo Xu's three points were not accurate, otherwise the Sun had a chance to win.

The inside competition is mainly defensive.

The Wizards are looking for a trade for a 3-and-D small forward who is good at defense, with Kwame Brown and Brandon Haywood both flesh-shield centers overlapping at the same positions. If the Wizards want to go far in the playoffs, they need to complete the trade in the middle of the game, and the chips currently offered by several teams are not favored by management.

The Suns lost another game before Christmas, losing 87-101 to the Grizzlies on the road.

The Grizzlies have been a bitter favourite for the Suns this season, having won two of them. The Suns couldn't defend the offense of the "Double Bears" on the inside, and both of them played at an All-Star level and had the ability to cut down 20+10.

Pau Gasol and his outside teammates can block and dismantle, not only to create space for outside teammates, but also to score on his own, and to play high and organize offense.

Gasol and Randolph are very difficult to defend against with their inside pass, Gasol has the height advantage and low footwork, and the range reaches beyond the three-point line. The small-ball tactics took off early, and Gasol began to try to shoot from a farther position.

The "Black Bears" are very tough, with most of the offense in the low post and under the basket, assisting mid-range shooting, and playing with high efficiency.

Haslem has no problem playing against most of the power forwards and is widely praised for his defensive ability, but he has a big head when he meets Randolph. The other party is taller than him, stronger than him, and has a soft hand.

One of the more unusual things about this year is that the league did not arrange for the Suns to play the Christmas game, and Guo Xu got a rare two-day vacation, and only played away against the Timberwolves on the 26th.

The league has only two gimmicky games scheduled for Christmas, Spurs vs. Cavaliers and Heat vs. Lakers, both of which have stars that the league wants to promote.

Stern felt that there was no need to arrange a Christmas war to increase Guo Xu's exposure, and Guo Xu's performance at Christmas several times was amazing, either a big victory over the opponent or a data horror, he didn't want to see anyone cry on important holidays.

The league officials have generally figured out Guo Xu's character, this is a very popular person, he is more likely to break out in the live broadcast and high-profile games in the United States, and it is impossible to expect him to save face for his opponents.

One less chance to show his face has no impact on Guo Xu's popularity, and the all-star voting is underway, and as expected, he is far ahead in the number of votes and wins the vote king.

On Christmas Day, Guo Xu and Megan Fox went to Phoenix for the holiday together, instead of in Los Angeles as in previous years. In order to match Guo Xu's time, he had to fly to Minneapolis with his teammates in the early morning to prepare for the away game.

Guo Xu had a very happy day, everyone didn't talk about anything about work, just chatted.

In his past and present lives, he was a person who particularly lacked family warmth. Since entering the NBA, he has returned to participate in the Christmas game when he was with the Lakers, and he has not spent the holidays with his family, and this time he finally has time to soak up the holiday spirit.

It is not enough for people to be rich and successful in their careers, they are the winners in life when they are cared for and loved.

In the evening, the group flew to Minnesota, and the sun did not arrange training, Guo Xu slept lazily, and after getting up, he used the hotel computer to browse the news.

In last night's game, the Cavaliers defeated the Spurs 91-76 at home, and the Lakers beat the Heat 102-93 at home.

This is the Spurs' sixth loss of the season, and the Suns have surpassed the Spurs to top the West, and although the Suns have lost two games to the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies have lost seven games overall and are in third place in the West.

Guo Xu didn't play, and many fans still mentioned him on the Internet, because this year's Christmas game was a bit boring, and the offensive rhythm of the four teams was very slow, and there were not many wonderful goals.

The Spurs lost in an incomplete lineup, with Ginobili suffering a sprained right ankle and will miss two to four weeks. It was a turning point in Ginobili's career, and from the beginning of the season, an ankle sprain plagued him, preventing him from playing for long.

As an outside star, Ginobili has only averaged more than 30 minutes per game in two seasons in his entire career, playing 31.1 minutes in his peak season, and has never scored 20+ in a single season.

There is no advantage in competing with the Cavaliers on the inside Spurs, and the forward positions of Finley and Bowen are obviously inferior to LeBron James.

In another game, Kobe Bryant played 44 minutes, 12 of 30 shots, 0 of 8 three-pointers, 13 of 19 free throws, and got 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Odom, Cook, and Bogut scored in double figures, shooting more than 55 percent from the field.

Bogut was the better on the defensive end against O'Neal, who shot 8-of-18 from the field and 2-of-5 from the free-throw line while shooting just 44.4 percent from the field.

Guo Xu knew that O'Neill's condition was about to start to decline seriously. He was trained by Pat Riley and did well last season, but now the negative effects are starting to show and he is exhausted. It's not just O'Fat, but Baxter, a big forward who has performed well for two seasons, has also seriously declined in form and can no longer play.

The Heat, without Payton and Haslem, couldn't have made it out of the East. However, O'Neal has already seen that even if the Heat reaches the Finals, he is not confident of winning the championship, and the league has always been a pattern of being strong in the West and weak in the East. At least he made the money, and the high-salary, long-term contract he signed with the Heat in the summer was a serious premium.

That night, the Suns easily defeated the underdog Timberwolves, and now the Wolves' offense is on two players, and they are not on good terms, and Garnett wants management to trade Szczebiak away.

The Suns didn't lose again in December, and they were even more ferocious in January, beating the Spurs and Hawks at home to usher in a favorable schedule.

Although the competition for the top teams in the West is fierce, the only teams that can threaten the Suns seem to be the Spurs and Grizzlies.

There are not many teams in the East that can compete with the Suns, and the Suns' two-guard starting style of play has become the key to winning, and it is easier for the two organizational points to launch a fast attack, and Guo Xu can also switch freely between having and not having the ball after the positional battle.

The Suns have lost just one game this month, a shock 100-111 defeat to the Magic on the road.

The Magic lineup is not strong, but this time Turkeglu pumped, shot 6 three-pointers, and cut down 35 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Francis also had 20 points and six assists, and Dwight Howard had a big double-double of 14 points and 18 rebounds.

Dwight has improved a lot in his second season, and his offensive skills are still rough, but he deserves the nickname "Warcraft" because of his physical fitness. The Magic's backup center is the equally physical "Little Shark" Bynum, who has performed well in the limited time, and can attack after covering the air.

It was only a matter of time before Bynum was traded, and he was too similar to Howard's style, with areas with high offensive efficiency being in the low post.

They can't play together to form a twin tower, and they can't play power forwards......
