That night, the Suns beat the Rockets 106-88 to make it two wins in a row.

Outside star Maddy is out due to injury, and the Rockets are a big cut behind the Suns in momentum, and there is almost no resistance. They started the game with 4 wins and 8 losses, making them the most disappointing team.

When the Rockets traded Francis, Mobley, and Cato for Maddie and Howard, everyone felt that the Rockets had made a lot of money. In fact, if Maddie didn't have serious injury concerns, the Magic couldn't have sent him away.

Last season was Maddy's last peak, and his speed and jumping are still among the best in the league, and this season, during preseason training, Maddie collided with Mutombo, resulting in another knee injury, and then a recurrence of his back injury.

Maddie was born with scoliosis, and was told by the doctor that she could only play for four seasons at most, and it is not easy to have such an achievement today. If it weren't for a congenital disease, he might have become the top player in the league with his talent.

It's all Maddy's life, and when the Magic is in the Magic, the team doesn't control the hidden dangers buried by his playing time, and it's useless for the Rockets head coach to replace Nelson Sr.

Yao Ming's fate changed, Nelson Sr. not only did not let him gain weight, but also let him lose a little weight to increase mobility, pull out and play more blocks and pick-and-rolls with teammates, catch the ball and shoot in the middle of the ball, or cut to the low post to receive the ball after his teammates attracted the defense.

In Van Gundy's tactical system, the Rockets are a group of people standing on the pile, Yao Ming is constantly in the low post, and the old Nelson asks the players to move, create opportunities for each other by interspersing runs, and pass them to the star singles when they can't be available.

In Maddy's absence, the Rockets' singles are Yao Ming and Derrick Anderson, who can also play a role. Yao Ming had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, and Anderson had 23 points and 4 assists.

The Rockets lost because they couldn't defend it, Maddy was absent, and the wing defense became very poor, starting with a two-guard combination of Alston and rookie Jarred Jack, and the small forward was Anderson, who is 196cm tall.

Nelson Sr. made a serious mistake when he didn't like Ryan Bowen, who was good at defense and had poor offensive ability, and didn't renew his contract. As soon as Maddie was out, the Rockets' wings became extremely weak, and the other two swingmen were veteran Joan Barry and 2004 second-round rookie Bernard Robinson, who had no specialty.

Guo Xu blew up Alston, Jack and veteran David Wesley, scoring 37 points and 7 assists in 35 minutes, and leading four teammates to score double-doubles.

The Rockets' lineup is very afraid of fast breaks, Yao Ming, Juwan Howard, and Mutombo can't get up fast, especially the veteran Mutombo, who is already playing on the road.

Uncle Mu is a veteran with a good mentality, he likes to play with Yao Ming, likes to be a substitute in the Rockets, it doesn't matter if he can't win the championship, he smiles happily every day.

But the Rockets fans were crying, they wanted to see the team win the championship, just like when the dream was big.

As long as the center does not return to the defense in place, the Rocket's restricted area cannot be defended, and Uncle Huo and the substitute power forward Scalabryne are both defensive black holes, and it is useless to return to the defense in place. David Lee scored a career-high 28 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists, and Howard finished with 8 points and 4 rebounds.

On November 25, the Suns played the Nets again at home, winning three in a row 102-81.

Guo Xu scored 37 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, leading the team to score double-doubles.

Now he is averaging a high number of points per game, over-completing tasks, not rushing to brush up on points, and when the opponent is tightly packed, he will pass the ball to create opportunities for his teammates and try to ensure a regular season win rate.

In an interview, Guo Xu said that he has no goal, in fact, he is still staring at the championship, playing well in the regular season, and only in the playoffs can he have a home advantage. Stars simply cut high scores, and if they have a bad record, they can only dominate pseudo-fans, and those who have beautiful statistics and win championships are superstars, which are called dominating the league.

Payton was the Suns' second-best performer, with 12 points and 10 assists on 6-of-8 shooting in 28 minutes.

The Nets focused on wrapping Guo Xu, forcing him to pass the ball, saying that he couldn't say anything to let him score super high points again, and if there was a second time, the Nets Trident would have committed suicide.

Guo Xu "released water" on the defensive end against Kidd, Kidd shot 9 of 17, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 25 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, playing at a super level. His play just kept the team from going into garbage time in the third quarter.

Carter was greatly reduced by the efficiency of Howard and Bell's defense, shooting only 9 of 23, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws, with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Jefferson was slightly better, scoring a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

After the game, the Nets had a 5-7 record, a very bad start. The Suns have a 9-3 record, second in the West behind the 10-3 Spurs.

In the game played the same day, the Spurs lost to the Bulls by 17 points at home. Ben Gordon and Jason Richardson convulsed together and combined to contribute 11 three-pointers.

Many people analyze the reason why the Suns won, thinking that Guo Xu alone carried the offensive banner, the data is equal to two stars, and his teammates are mainly responsible for stabilizing the defense, and the offensive end will win with a little play.

It's very simple to say, but with an average of 40+ per game, even if you let the stars shoot infinitely, other people on the current team can't do it.

Guo Xu is currently averaging 6.4 three-pointers per game, and he can score nearly 20 points in a three-point game alone, and if he keeps it, he will set a record for the number of three-point shots in a single season, and it will increase to nearly 500 goals.

He averaged 5 three-pointers per game to set a 400+ record, and no one else could even do 300+ threes in a single season before.

The rest of the Suns players have also played well. David Lee averaged 10.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in his rookie season while shooting 56% from the field, becoming a strong contender for the best rookie.

Josh Howard averaged 15.4 points, 6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 47.5% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range, making 1.1 per game, the team's second-leading scorer.

Bell averaged 10 points per game while shooting 44.8 percent from three-point range and hitting 2.6 three-pointers per game. On the offensive end, he mainly relies on shooting three-pointers from the bottom corner, throwing passes when he receives them, and then focusing on the defensive end.

The most unusual is Payton, who averaged 29.4 minutes per game, cutting 8 points, 3 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1 steal, shooting 47.3% from the field. He rejuvenated his second spring, started with Guo Xu, often had easy scoring opportunities when he was on the fast break, and frantically brushed up assists.

If he continues to play like this, Payton could break his record for assists in his peak season, where he averaged nine assists per game in his peak season with the SuperSonics, but that was done in 40.3 minutes, and his assist efficiency is now better than it was in his prime.

Most of the Suns' players like to catch the ball and shoot quickly, and the only player on the team who likes to attack with the ball is Howard, except for Guo Xu, which makes Payton's passes easy to convert into assists.

His role, in fact, is the role played by Draymond Green of the Warriors, pulling away from being in charge of the perimeter playmaking and shooting one when he is empty. He has a lot of experience in the game, and he is like a fish in water in this system, which is much more comfortable than joining the Heat in his previous life.

In the Heat, Payton's stats dropped dramatically because Wade had to hold the ball to be powerful, and O'Neal was also a player who needed his teammates to drop the ball in the low post, and it was not Payton's turn to play pick-and-roll, so it was difficult for him to deliver assists.

Payton also had this dilemma when he was with the Lakers, averaging only 5.5 assists per game in 35 minutes, and he was even more unbearable in the playoffs, with various statistics declining across the board. Now he has regained the feeling of being young, the old man is talking about juvenile madness, and he feels that he has no problem playing for another three or five years, as long as he partners with Guo Xu.
