The Christmas game is a much-anticipated game, second only to the All-Stars, and of course CCTV5 in China will also choose the game to be broadcast live.

Unfortunately, the Rockets had a game today, and CCTV5 chose another one. In this era, there are not so many online video broadcasts, and many Suns fans who can only watch text live broadcasts are unhappy.

The Chinese media are more supportive of Yao Ming, who is the pride of Chinese basketball. Last year's All-Star selection was controversial, and this year his stats are fully worthy of an All-Star, and the only centers with better stats than him are O'Neal and Stoudeyer, and Smalls is not like a center.

In the 21st century, the offense on the basketball court has begun to develop in the direction of "outside in", not only in the NBA, but also in international basketball.

This is the inevitable development of basketball, not caused by the rules of the game, in the final analysis, the input-output ratio of cultivating a center is too low, and it is not cost-effective to cultivate a star center.

For decades, the NBA has produced far fewer center stars than other positions. If you want a super center, you must first have good seedlings, and the talent must be very strong, only physical fitness is not good, and stupid big people can't be cultivated, such as Diop.

When the team spends time, energy, and money to train a center to become a star, if you often go to the low post to fight hand-to-hand at the peak of the short, the state declines very quickly. The four major centers, Mutombo and Mourning were very bleak in their later years, and Robinson relied on Duncan to be regarded as a good death. In Guo Xu's previous life, Yao Ming, Xiao Si, and Howard also quickly declined after they were 30 years old.

After 2010, NBA teams realized this, so they let the center reduce the proportion of low-post offense, pull out to shoot three-pointers, and respond to passing.

After 2015, if there are coaches in the NBA who arrange big men over 210cm to attack the basket as the main tactic, they will definitely be dismissed. Future centers are not like centers, practice shooting first, and then practice strategy, and it is difficult to see a superman like O'Neal who resists two pulls up and dunks in the low post.

Before the players came out, two versions of the trailer of Guo Xu's movie were shown on the big screen of the stadium.

After Guo Xu's finale appearance, the fans present were excited, because he sang his new song live and interacted with the fans.

TNT broadcast the game live, and Barkley commented: "Some people say that Jason is a musician who has been delayed by basketball, and all three of his singles have been well received, and the Grammys will definitely nominate him in the future and invite him to the awards ceremony." ”

Smith smiled: "In a few years, he will hold a concert directly at home, and I think the venue will be full." ”

"You can still see his acting skills next month, it should be good from the trailer, he is very photogenic, much thinner than when I appeared on the camera." After Barkley finished speaking, he picked up the Big Mac beef burger and took a bite.

After Guo Xu finished singing, the cameraman gave Megan Foechter in the front row to write the shot, and many people shouted at the scene.

Barkley said: "The heroine of the movie is also here today, are they going to announce their relationship at Christmas? Many people speculated that they had been a couple for a long time, but Jason never admitted it. ”

Smith smiled: "The name of the pizza shop that Jason invested in is Fat Fox, and he uses this girl's surname, so I don't believe them to be just ordinary friends." ”

The two sides started the game, and the fans were very happy when they saw the all-attacking lineup, and they definitely had to attack.

Suns Five: Guo Xu, Bale, Joe Johnson, Marion, Stoudamire.

Mavericks five: Nash, Finley, Jamison, Walker, Nowitzki.

Xiao Si jumped the ball and the game began.

Guo Xu and other teammates opened the middle to block and dismantle, Nowitzki changed the defense relatively outside, Guo Xu suddenly accelerated and broke through successfully after moving horizontally, and the basketball was scored with both hands on his right hand. 2 to 0.

In the first round, it can explain why the "five-star Mavericks" will lose 12 games at the beginning, only the same record as the Rockets.

The Mavericks' defense is full of holes, Nowitzki is not good at blocking and pick-and-roll, and Walker is even worse, with slow movement and no height in the defensive penalty area.

The Mavericks attacked, Nash attracted Smalls to switch the ball to the middle, and Nowitzki made a jumper. 2 to 2.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu dribbled under the crotch and changed direction to take a three-point shot, and hit the iron under Nash's interference, Marion grabbed the offensive rebound and hit the basket directly. 4 to 2.

Walker didn't get stuck in Marion, and "Fat Head" will definitely be traded after this season, and the Mavericks' management and coaching staff have been completely disappointed in him.

Not only is he terrible defensively, shooting less on the offensive end than any guard, 38.8 percent last season, and only 42 percent this year when he has a good attacking teammate to attract the defense. His single play on the offensive end is a wave shot, and the only thing that makes sense is to respond to the offense, averaging 4.5 assists per game. But that's when he took away Nash's work, and the Mavericks wouldn't be bad without him.

The excellent playmaker in Nelson's mind is really better than nostalgia for seeing each other.

At this time, the Mavericks made a mistake, Jamison passed the ball to Finley and was stealed by Bell for a fast break and passed to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu singled out Nash, dribbled behind his back, and forcibly relied on Nash's basketball in the middle. 6 to 2.

Although the two look about the same size, Nash is slightly taller than Guo Xu, but Guo Xu's strength and explosiveness are far superior to Nash, and he can't jump up when he squeezes it.

Nash is a "biased" player, and his speed, sense of rhythm, passing awareness, and shooting ability on the offensive end are among the best among NBA guards. But on the defensive end, he always suffers a lot because he can't do it with strength and bounce.

After entering the league, Guo Xu has to play 8 games with Nash every season, and he is too familiar with each other. The difference is that Guo Xu can eat Nash single-handedly after being familiar with him, and Nash comes to a conclusion after being familiar with Guo Xu that he is not the opponent of this product alone.

The Mavericks attacked, Nash was caught up by Guo Xu for blocking and dismantling, and the ball was given to the perimeter Walker, who only had a strength advantage in the face of Marion, and the direct dry pull-out jumper was easy to block, and he dribbled an inside pass to Nowitzki in the low post on the left.

Nowitzki received the ball with a false left shoulder, turned to the baseline and passed Xiao Si, and jumped up to dunk the basketball with both hands. 6 to 4.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Xiao Si played blocking and dismantling, and the weak side opened up space to attract Nowitzki and Nash to the middle, and Xiao Si cut the ball with one hand. 8 to 4.

When returning to the defense, Xiao Si excitedly showed off his biceps, and the home fans applauded vigorously.

The Mavericks attacked, Finley was entangled by Bell after receiving the ball, and then passed the ball to Nowitzki, who took the ball on the left corner plane frame and shook it, allowing Xiao Si to break through the middle with the ball after raising his center of gravity, and hit the basket to stop and get the ball again.

Smalls was shaken and flew up, Nowitzki jumped up and hit him and missed the shot, made a foul and went to the free throw line, hitting both free throws. 8 to 6.

Nowitzki's feet in the low post are excellent, he can turn outside or in, and most importantly, he plays with the ball near the free throw line.

One-on-one Xiao Si can't defend against Nowitzki, so he can only attack.

Guo Xu blocked and dismantled the pass, Xiao Si hit the iron, and Nowitzki grabbed the rebound.

The Mavericks' offense was very simple, Nash passed to Finley who was running, Finley broke through to attract Marion to change the defensive ball, Walker faced Bell and pulled out a three-point iron, and Smalls grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

Guo Xu distributed the ball to Marion, who forced a breakthrough past Walker and scored a layup. 10 to 6.

The Mavericks attacked, and Jamison singled out Joe Johnson in the face frame, changing direction and dribbling a step to make a pull-up jump shot. 10 to 8.

The fans were very entertained, and the two teams launched a fierce attack after the opening, which was the Christmas battle they wanted to see!
