At the beginning, the Suns let fans see clearly what it means to be "strong in the west and weak in the east", putting aside Guo Xu's personal ability, the eastern team alone can't compare with the Sun, they don't have such a strong ability to block and dismantle.

Felton was very strong in the last round, and the Cavaliers had to use joint defense tactics to shrink the restricted area and put the Knicks on mid-to-long shots, and the other players also played well.

It didn't work to play against the Suns, and after Felton played the block and dismantle, he faced Ibaka, who was defending for a while, and he couldn't get rid of it immediately by relying on his speed. He couldn't finish it in a second, so Guo Xu bypassed the cover and caught up, and it was difficult for him to get an easy shot.

Felton knew that he was done after a few rounds, his height of 185CM had no advantage over Guo Xu, his speed was not as fast as Guo Xu, and even the strength he was proud of could not withstand Guo Xu. Obviously, his body size is larger, and his back is round, but Guo Xu can fight against him.

After passing the ball to his teammates, Felton couldn't help but think: This guy can't be a machine skeleton in his body, he is actually a robot, otherwise how could he be so powerful?

Felton and Paul entered the NBA in the 2005 draft at the same time, and they often competed in college, and he can best appreciate how strong Guo Xu's defensive ability is, which is more difficult than Paul.

The Knicks ran out of 24 seconds and Gallinari scored on a single Thompson shot to make it 10-4.

The players got stuck in singles, and that wasn't the Princeton routine that Coach Adelman wanted.

In the offensive system before the Knicks, there were various tricks such as guard breakouts, interior air cuts, and Noah's high strategy, and several people kept sharing the ball. Now no matter how many times the players pass, in the end it is a single, and the Suns can change defenses infinitely except for Guo Xu.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed to Roy first, and then ran to the weak side to receive the ball and got a single opportunity.

Smith let go of Thompson's bag and Guo Xu, Adelman did not arrange it, and it was the player's spontaneous adjustment. If you don't include Guo Xu, you're going crazy, Smith doesn't want to see Guo Xu score super high points in the finals to lead the team to win, no one wants to be the background board for the other party to break the record.

Guo Xu took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball to the bottom left corner, Thompson received the ball and shot quickly, and the ball hollowed into the net. 13 to 4.

Adelman called a timeout, the team had to tighten up defensively, and the offense was not playing well.

Wrapping Guo Xu is necessary, but Thompson still wants to win? The difficulty is similar to that of learning scriptures from the West Heaven, ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties.

In the playoffs, Thompson's playing time improved to 31 minutes, shooting 42.5% from three-point range, hitting 2.7 shots, and shooting 47% overall, with 16.6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

As soon as Guo Xu made a force in the playoffs, Thompson's tactics benefited and he often got easy shots.

Because Thompson shoots more steadily, D'Antoni likes to let Roy stay on the other side, let Thompson and Guo Xu cooperate on one side, and if the opponent is on the ordinary player to defend Roy, he can also hold the ball and play alone.

After the timeout, Adelman replaced Gallinari and brought on the faster, more accurate shooting Gordon Hayward, the sophomore with good passing ability.

Hayward, the future of the parallel world, is the "giant pit" that destroyed the Celtics, and now he is a potential newcomer with all-round skills.

The Knicks' inexperienced players began to show up, and Felton continued to push the ground at a slow pace. As soon as the Knicks fall into position, the adjustment of the Knicks is useless, as long as the Suns' two interior lines that are good at defense are in place, the defense of the restricted area is solid.

After a few passes, Jr. missed the basket with a three-point jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by Gasol Jr.

In the Sun positional battle, Guo Xu was caught as soon as he passed the half and passed to Roy. Roy was in charge of the organization, and Guo Xu and Thompson began to run under the cover of their interior teammates.

Guo Xu received the ball on the right side and attracted the bag again, and passed the ball horizontally to Gasol Jr. in the low post on the right, and Noah let go of Ibaka to make up for the defense and withstood Gasol Jr. under the basket.

Gasol Jr. turned and quickly shifted the ball to the left side 45 degrees with one hand, and Ibaka shot from the open position went into the hollow. 15 to 4.

Xiao Si looked at the unstoppable offense of the Suns, and only felt that he thought too much before the game, and it was impossible for the Knicks to defeat the Suns, except for his little advantage over Ibaka, the other positions were at a comprehensive disadvantage.

The first quarter was tied at 40-20, with the Suns creating plenty of easy shots and all five of them scoring.

Guo Xu made 4 of 5 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 13 points and 5 assists.

Thompson scored eight points on 3-of-4 shooting and 2-of-3 three-pointers; Ibaka finished with eight points on 4-of-4 shooting.

Yu Jia commented: "The Suns' offense is too smooth, the four of them can share the ball selflessly, only Ibaka's pass is a little worse, the ball in his hands is to end the offense, and his mid-range shot is very accurate." ”

Zhang Li smiled: "He often has a vacant seat, so he can't be injected." No matter what the order is when playing next to Guo Xu, the inside players can quickly play with confidence. ”

Adelman boldly deployed a two-guard strategy in the second quarter to steal points, and Felton, who had a five-minute break in the first quarter, was on the court with Darren Collison, who was traded from the Hornets in the middle of the period.

COLLISON IS 183CM TALL AND WEIGHS 79 KILOGRAMS, AND DEFENDING OR ANYTHING IS NOT IN THE ADELMAN'S MIND AT ALL. He is a fierce man who dares to let Brooks and Lowry play together, and firmly believes that Felton can limit Roy by playing in the No. 2 position.

However, it couldn't, Roy singled out Felton to score one after another, and played casually without wrapping, quickly widening the gap to 28 points, and pausing the Knicks again.

Felton was confused by the misalignment, suspecting that the head coach had a grudge against him and didn't want him to get a big contract in the summer, so as long as he was there, let him defend the opponent's strongest scoring point.

Felton didn't even hear the coach's tactics clearly on the sidelines, and there was only one question in his mind.

Isn't this torturous? I wasn't named to the All-Defensive Team, and it wasn't my job when I was with the Bobcats.

Before you know it, the timeout is over, and Felton returns to the court to continue being beaten.

Fortunately, Felton was relieved in the second half, because the difference between the two sides was pulled to more than 30 points into garbage time, Guo Xu was already drinking drinks on the sidelines as a spectator, and he didn't have to be guilty on the court.

The Knicks are not weak off the bench, Collisson, Fields, Hayward, Brandon White, Aaron Gray.

The bench lineup that played the Knicks of other teams was definitely called a "bench bandit", but against the Suns, it was not enough, and garbage time was also pressed.

A marginal person like Whiteside is enough for the Knicks, and it is a violent dunk to block and dismantle the air and cut the ball and rush up. The two-guard composed of Thomas Jr. and Jeremy Lin broke through sharply, and the sudden meat shield blue-collar Gray wanted to give up basketball and go to the hospital to be an intern.

At 134-88, the Suns outscored by 46 points.

With such a point difference in the first game, how can there be suspense in the finals? People began to talk about the Suns coming up with a fourth straight championship.

After the two games, it was time for the New York home court, and David Stern stepped up the Knicks' home whistle and star whistle, allowing them to make a lot of free throws.

However, it is useless, the Suns' offense is not limited by the home whistle, unless Felton and Collison can get started with Guo Xu and pull people without fouling, but unfortunately the defensive ability of both is average.

Guo Xu hit 9 three-pointers in the third game, including 5 three-pointers in the third quarter, leading the team to a 3-0 lead to lock in the win.

In the fourth game, Guo Xu generally began to break through the ball, and there was always a way to get past the two point guards to launch a counterattack. He was more agile than Felton and more powerful than Collisson.

After beating the Knicks 114-97, the Suns completed a sweep away from home and successfully defended their title.
