The Suns' big home win over the Spurs wasn't just a win, it boosted the morale of the whole team, and the young players relaxed. They all have a clear concept, it doesn't matter if they don't play well, they can win if they pull away and pass the ball to Guo Xu.

The Spurs' morale inevitably dropped, 2-3 down, they have one foot off the cliff, and even the best mentality will suffer.

The next game will test Tony Parker's mentality the most, and he has become the biggest backdrop for this year's playoffs, and Guo Xu's dunk was selected as the best goal of the day, which has been discussed by countless fans. This is the second time in Guo Xu's career that he has staged a riding buckle in a competition.

The news reported by the media was not good for the Spurs, and almost everyone was optimistic that the Suns would advance to the Finals, because anyone who watched the last game could see that Duncan was running out, and he only had 19 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Spurs relied heavily on Duncan after entering the playoffs, and he played an average of 37 minutes per game in the first two rounds, and the Western Conference finals became an average of 41 minutes per game, physically and mentally exhausted.

In the first two rounds, the opponent of the Spurs was mainly positional warfare, and the transition between offense and defense was not fast, and against the Suns Duncan played center, not only to guard the restricted area, but also to follow the defense when the Suns counterattacked.

In Game 6, Duncan was completely lost on the offensive end, squeezing Vallejo and shooting inaccurately. He played 38 minutes, shooting just 8-of-21 from the field, shooting 38.1 percent from the field, and 8-of-12 from the free-throw line, finishing with 24 points, eight rebounds, one assist and one block.

The Suns were very fierce when defending Duncan, and the fouls were all ruthless until his hand dropped. The coaching staff arranged this before the game began, and the referee gave the Spurs 50 free throws and sent them into a tie-break.

Parker was also defended by Guo Xu, Ariza, Haslem and others, shooting 3 of 15, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, with a shooting rate of 20%.

Bowen played 35 minutes, missed a point on 0-of-2 shooting, and had 0 points and 2 rebounds. He was responsible for defending Howard, and he didn't show anything on the offensive end. Howard's efficiency dropped, playing 38 minutes, shooting 7-of-17, 1-of-3 from three-point range, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, and finishing with 17 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

The Spurs' starting three are out of sorts, and they can't win with Ginobili and Finley shooting alone. At this time, the two sides fought for physical strength and tenacity, and the Sun won completely.

Under the tight package, Guo Xu's statistics were not as strong as on the court, with 14 of 31 shots, 5 of 12 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, and 42 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

The Suns won 106-90 and eliminated the Spurs to reach the Finals for the third year in a row.

At the press conference, the Suns did not fall into the trap of Spurs, and did not say anything like winning easily.

Even if they say it's easy, no one believes it, everyone can see that the sun is doing their best, and you can know this when you watch Guo Xu play the whole court many times. He was caught every game, and he relied on his personal ability to lead the team to victory. Duncan scored on the inside, and he scored on the outside, staging a number of classic battles.

The black cauldrons who were looking forward to the Spurs' promotion were collectively dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out why such a bad lineup of the Suns could still enter the finals. The Spurs look to have a much stronger roster than the Suns, and Finley and Van Exel have also been selected as All-Stars before.

Pippen didn't even dare to go out of the door now, and there would definitely be reporters interviewing him as soon as he went out. He didn't dare to call Jordan, now Jordan is angry, many people on the Internet say that Guo Xu has surpassed Jordan in the finals, because Jordan can only lead the Sun in the second round.

There are also many fans who praise the Spurs, at least no one on the other side in this playoff game because of the Spurs. Their inability to win was directly related to Duncan's plantar fasciitis, and in the end he couldn't hold on.

Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals started a day later than the West, and the Cavaliers won at home, eliminating the Hawks 4-2.

Nash said after the game that he was very disappointed with the result, because the Hawks had a 2-1 lead and lost games by less than 10 points, but the Cavaliers had the last laugh.

The reason the Hawks lost the game was because they relied too much on running and shooting, their sense of rhythm was thoroughly explored, and their outside shooting was inconsistent. The Cavaliers' last four games were shortened by high school forward "Big Z" Ilgauskas, and the Cavaliers also played small-ball tactics and withstood the run-and-roll.

The Hawks are obviously not the opponent of the Cavaliers, and they can't play an efficient offense, because they don't have excellent low-post offensive players, and they rely on breakouts and outside shots, and they can't break the joint defense with a pick-and-roll offense.

Boozer and James frequently hit the basket, and Al Harrington and Josh Smith couldn't prevent it.

James' offensive ability this year is already the top in the league, he can rush in against people, it is impossible to stop him without a clamp, and his comprehensive physical fitness can be ranked in the top five or even the top three in NBA history.

Josh's body is not bad, and his ball control skills are not good. James doesn't just rely on his body, he has excellent ability to change direction and break through, and he is skilled in face frame attacking skills. If you want to guard James, you have to at least have an Artest kind of hunk who is constantly close to him, pushing him away from the basket and forcing him to shoot from the middle to long range, which Josh in the second year can't do.

Even if he withstands James, the Cavaliers still have Boozer, who can single Harrington in the low post and shoot very well. Harrington is a kite-flying style on the offensive end, floating outside to shoot, and the low post shooting percentage is not good.

The reporter asked Nash, "Which team do you predict will win this year's championship?" ”

He said: "I'm bullish on the Suns, the Cavaliers are strong, but they lack Finals experience, and the core James is too young. Jason Guo already has four championship rings in his hand, has never lost to the finals, and it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to guard against him from the outside. ”

The Cavaliers players were low-key in their interviews, and James put himself in the position of a challenger.

"The Suns are weaker than last season, but as long as Jason Guo is here, they are a championship team, and we have to do everything we can to defend him, we are at a disadvantage, we have to defend well, and I hope to win," he said. ”

"Jason and I are an agent, and when I first entered the league, I knew how good this guy was, and I was very happy to meet him on the Finals stage," Boozer said. There may be a lot of people who don't think the Cavaliers think we're young, but we're ready to challenge the Suns. ”

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, nicknamed "The Bread," said: "We've proven our strength against the Heat and the Pistons. By eliminating the Hawks, we proved that there is a way to deal with the run-and-gun offense, and I believe the Cavaliers have a chance to win the championship! ”

The next day, Guo Xu was interviewed after training, unusually, also low-key, and did not despise the Cavaliers.

"The Cavaliers are very strong, and if you look at the statistics of the players, you can see that they have an advantage on the inside, and the attack power on the inside is even better than that of the Spurs. I think with a win or a loss of 55 opens, anyone has a chance to win. ”

The reporter asked: "Don't you think James is inexperienced?" ”

"I just entered the league and I was inexperienced against Iverson in the Finals, so what happened?" Guo Xu deliberately paused and smiled: "I don't think experience is the most important thing, the key is strength and mentality, the overall cooperation of the team, etc., I can't underestimate people who haven't got a ring just because I have won the championship." ”

In fact, Guo Xu knew that the league wanted to praise James, and if he disdained him in an interview, he would be working against the league. He's not Zhan Hei, what's the benefit of hacking James for him?

The Suns just have to give it their all when it comes to the game, and the coaching staff has already laid out the tactics.

Of course, even if Guo Xu doesn't fight with the knights and predicts the game in a low-key manner, most people are still optimistic about the Suns. Just by looking at the regular season record, you know that the Cavaliers are better than the Spurs.
