At halftime, Barkley predicted: "Jason has only been in three seasons of his career, and he may cut 60+10 for the second time, as long as he shoots more in the second half, I think he will definitely be able to do it." ”

"Arenas deserves a long-term contract with a big salary this summer, but he's not on par with Jason," Smith said. ”

In the third quarter, the Warriors finally began to tightly wrap Guo Xu, even if he didn't block and dismantle, and directly held the ball and heads-up, there were also people on the wing who stepped forward to wrap and let others shoot.

In the face of this kind of defense, Guo Xu always divides the ball quickly and waits for the counterattack to go on his own. D'Antoni played small-ball tactics, sent Alston to form a double back, and asked Nene and Xiaosi to cover Guo Xu together and help him catch the ball in the positional battle.

He's the fastest in the game, and the Warriors must be aggressive in switching defenses inside without the ball, otherwise he can get an easy shot. As soon as the inside line is defended, the Suns' two newcomers are open to the inside line.

Guo Xu only made 4 shots in this quarter, hitting two shots, no free throws, and no three-pointers. But the Warriors didn't stop because he dished out six assists, three of which were open connections with his teammates.

There were also a few times when Guo Xu was the starting point of the attack, although he did not directly assist, but transferred the ball to his teammates in the open position, and after attracting the rotation change, Joe Johnson and Marion assisted his teammates.

The Suns beat the Warriors 31-20 in the first quarter and led 102-80 in the third quarter, basically entering garbage time.

Guo Xu had 41 points, 2 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals, and once again hit a big double-double.

In the final quarter, D'Antoni asked Guo Xu to rest, and if the Warriors can't catch up with the score, Guo Xu won't play again. In the second half of the game, the coaching staff must ensure the health of the players, and if the star is injured in garbage time, he will only become a laughing stock and will not be highly praised.

In the last quarter, the Warriors players didn't want Guo Xu to rest early, and Boykins, Battier, and Foyer were powerful, leading the bench to play a wave of 15-2, quickly narrowing the gap to 9 points.

Boykins hit two three-pointers, Battier hit a three-pointer, Foyer grabbed five rebounds, including three from the frontcourt, and scored four points, and Gooden also made a mid-range shot.

So the Suns changed the main force again, and the five are Guo Xu, Kirisek, Marion, Kukoc, and Nene again. Smalls, who had four fouls in the starter, and Joe Johnson, who had a bad hand, rested.

Coach Musselman once again showed poor on-court adaptability and did not immediately replace Boykins.

Guo Xu and Nene played blocking and dismantling, attracting Foyer to switch defense and pass the ball to the middle, Boykins could only chase Guo Xu could not change the center, and completely vacated Nenei, who quickly cut into the air and scored the ball with one hand.

Boykins blocked the attack and just had an easy chance to make a shot, but this time Marion retracted and interfered in the joint defense system, and the ball deflected off the basket. Kukoc grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack, Guo Xu misplaced the ball and caught the ball on a fast break, attracting Battier's defense and distributing it to Marion, who ignored Boykins in front of him and forced a layup.

Boykins was knocked to the ground by Marion in the return defense, and the referee did not blow the ball to hit the man, because he did not stand firmly under his feet, but the difference in size between the two was too big.

Musselmann called a timeout substitution, Arenas and Jamison came on, replacing Boykins and Sula.

As soon as he got on the court, Arenas faced Guo Xu and hit a three-point shot, narrowing the difference to 10 points. But the weaknesses on the defensive end of the Warriors are still there, and Foyer is addicted to grabbing rebounds, and his attention is focused on grabbing rebounds, and he is not very active in defending three-point points.

Guo Xu and Nene split the ball after blocking and dismantling, and Kukoc hit two three-pointers on the right side to widen the difference again.

Seeing that his teammates missed consecutive shots, Jamison made a mistake in a hurry, singled out Marion in the face frame, and the dribble under the crotch changed direction and was directly stealed by the "hacker", Guo Xu received the ball and advanced to the front court to pass, and the follow-up Nene scored a layup in the middle. Foyer was a little slower and not tall enough to stop the shot.

At 3 minutes and 32 seconds, Guo Xu played a block and dismantling cooperation, Foyer did not change the defense in time, and he hit a three-point jumper on the left side, scoring his 44th point.

At 3 minutes and 15 seconds, the Suns grabbed the rebound and played a quick counterattack, Guo Xu changed direction to pass Arenas, attracted Jamison to make up for the defense, and assisted Kirisek to score an easy layup.

At 1 minute and 18 seconds, Guo Xu passed the ball to Kukoc, who received the ball with his back on the right side and turned to the baseline to make a backward jumper, dodging Dampier's block ball.

After this goal, the difference between the two sides was 17 points, and the Suns sealed the victory.

Guo Xu was substituted off the court in advance, enjoying the warm applause of the fans, he only shot twice, hit a ball, got 3 points and 7 assists, and scored 44 points, 3 rebounds, 21 assists and 2 steals.

At 134-114 in the final game, the Suns defeated the Warriors at home, and all six players scored double-doubles.

The Warriors also had six players in double figures, with Jamison and Arenas scoring 20+ points and shooting over 60 percent from the field. Foyer shot 6-of-11 from the field, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and finished with 16 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, including 10 frontcourt rebounds.

With this kind of play, the Warriors still can't win the game, and everyone thinks the Suns offense is too scary.

Except for Joe Johnson, who was in a slump and only scored 7 points in the game, everyone else performed well, Guo Xu and the two rookies shot more than 60% from the field, Marion also shot more than 50%, Kukic shot 4 three-pointers, got 16 points and 3 assists, and became a bench bandit again, and Kirisek also scored 10 points.

It doesn't matter if one or two Suns players don't play well, there is always someone who can step up and score.

At the post-match press conference, the reporters were full and took turns to ask questions to Guo Xu.

He broke the all-time record this time, with two 40+20 performances in a single season and three 30+20 performances in his career, which has never been played by a point guard before, and he left Suns legend Kevin Johnson behind.

Guo Xu said: "My teammates have a high shooting percentage, and they can score when I pass it. And I had a hot hand today, I scored a lot of points in the second quarter, and then it just happened, and I was surprised to play this statistic. ”

The reporter asked: "You became the only point guard in the league to score 30 points and 20 assists three times, do you have any special feelings?" ”

"Hopefully I'll have that in the playoffs, it's just a regular season game, you won't get a ring if you win, it's not time to relax, it's late in the season, we have to fight for every win, fight for home advantage in the playoffs. We've lost three of our previous four games, and it's this big win that stops the slump and I'm most happy. ”

The reporter asked Guo Xu if he was confident that he would lead the Suns to win the championship this season.

Guo Xu gave an affirmative answer. "Yes, the regular season record proves that the top four in the West are not much different, we are not afraid of any team, although the Suns are the youngest team and lack playoff experience, but we also have the advantage, young and driven, and there is no pressure, after all, before the season we only aim for the playoffs, and we are not favored."

The reporters applauded, and Guo Xu continued: "I think the Suns have a dynasty prototype, and the newcomers have a lot of room for improvement." I think I'm going to improve in the future, but I'm not at my peak yet. ”

The applause was even more enthusiastic, and all the media were going to make a fuss about the "prototype of the dynasty", which was too confident.

Guo Xu's data is almost 27+10 and has not yet reached his peak, what did he look like when he was at his peak? What he said is probably true, because he is only 21 years old and 22 at the end of November this year. Theoretically, players under the age of 25 have potential. (https:)
