The Lakers' offense still has to rely on Kobe, who scored 12 points in a single quarter, Bogut 4 points, Odom and Butler 2 points, and the others didn't score a point.

Guo Xu scored 12 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, Marion also scored 10 points, and Howard scored 8 points, and they formed a new Sun trident to ensure offensive firepower.

found that it was so easy to clean up the Lakers, Guo Xu became more and more confident in leading the team to win the championship, the Suns' current lineup is really strong, and the defense is much stronger than last season.

Xiao Si's defensive ability is not as good as Valejo's, although the inside line is less Xiao Si's offense is not so violent, but while defending the opponent, it is not difficult for several core players to play efficiently to win, Guo Xu's defensive end is less "water".

Last season, more than half of the Suns' games went into garbage time in the third quarter if they were defending every game with all their might, and they played against weak teams, often abusive opponents who were defenseless.

The Lakers are stronger than in their previous life, and they are still a weak team against the Suns, even if Bogut has just entered the league and needs to be exercised, and his strength is similar to that of Kwame Brown, the Lakers still have one more Butler.

Nash's Suns will definitely have to waste a lot of effort if they want to win this Lakers, and they may not be able to advance in the playoffs.

During the timeout, Kenny Smith commented: "Last season the Suns were unstoppable on offense, averaging 123 points per game, and this year they are still sharp on offense and seem to be stronger defensively, which I think is a miracle." ”

Barkley laughed: "Those who say they can't win without a star inside Jason can shut up, as long as he's there, teammates can play well is the truth." I feel like Howard is averaging 20 points per game this season and being an All-Star. ”

Guo Xu rested in the second quarter, and the plan of the coaching staff was to let him rest for 5 or 6 minutes in the second quarter of each game, and if the score could not be opened, he would play full in the second half, so that in a very anxious game, he played for about 42 minutes throughout the game, and his physical strength was enough to ensure his condition.

Payton came off the bench to organize the offense, and Howard, who had rested for a while, came back to bring the bench, the other three were Ariza, Haslem, and Vallejo.

Marion and Guo Xu rested together and played together, and after several seasons of running-in, the coaching staff found that they were more efficient together. If Guo Xu is not up, Marion's offensive efficiency will decrease, and the speed advantage will not be easy to play.

This is why many experts look down on Marion, believing that he is not a qualified second-in-command, and his offensive ability with the ball is really not good.

The Lakers rotate five players: McGinnis, Vujacic, Butler, Devin George, Bogut.

Even off the bench, Bogut wasn't the Lakers' main point of attack, and Jackson let Butler take the bench. He knew that Butler had potential, and he learned some skills with Kobe Bryant last season, and his offensive ability with the ball improved a little.

And Butler is an iron man, he has a lot of physical strength and can play for a long time, and he and Kobe staggered playing time at a certain time, which can not only give Kobe a break for a while, but he can also have a better performance.

The pace of the game immediately became dull after the substitution, and the point guards on both sides lacked speed and could not push the fast break.

This is the usual rhythm of the Lakers' play, but it doesn't mean that they can have the upper hand, the Suns have almost no weaknesses on the defensive end, and the Lakers players who are man-to-man and defensive are playing iron again and again.

Even the veteran Payton is not a weakness, he is active defensively, experienced, and has no pressure against McGinnes, who is also the same height.

McGinnis joined the Lakers with a low salary to get fans excited, and he was the starting point guard for the Cavaliers last season, averaging 12.8 points and 5.1 assists per game, which is not bad. Unexpectedly, after he joined the Lakers at the age of 31, he slipped to the point of not being good, and he played very badly in the preseason, so he could only be a substitute, and he scored 5 points and 2 assists on the court.

Payton rarely shoots on the offensive end, playing like Ron Harper during the Lakers, and being old and strong on the defensive end. The Suns' perimeter players are now Peyton's apprentices, and he started a crash course on defense last year.

Payton has defended the first team in the NBA nine times, twice on the second team, and has won the best defensive team, even if he doesn't play a point, the Suns are willing to give him a contract. At the end of this season, as long as he does not retire, the Suns are willing to renew his contract.

Ariza is already an excellent blue-collar worker, and Butler is 0-of-3 shooting. Butler has gradually been able to develop three-point shots, and now he mainly relies on mid-range shots and breakaways to score points.

Butler's physical fitness is super strong, he is fast and often stages breakthrough dunks, his head is almost flat frame, but Ariza is not a vegetarian, the two are about the same speed, and their height and arm span are similar, as long as they are not over, Ariza can interfere with the shot.

The Suns also had the upper hand on the offensive end, and the tactics were simple, pulling away and letting Howard attack with the ball, and Vallejo covering him.

Payton can also teach his teammates to attack, and Howard now not only can break through the frame, but also practice his back-to-back shooting skills, and he is not inferior to Joe Johnson in terms of scoring ability, and the organization is a little worse.

The Suns' shortcomings are that the rotation lineup lacks a second offensive point with the ball, and last season Joe Johnson and Howard came off the bench with a really unsolvable position, and the management wanted to make up for this vacancy, but unfortunately no suitable candidate was found this summer.

Bogut only scored two points on 1-of-2 shooting in the second quarter, and there was no advantage in Vallejo alone, which is no wonder Kobe Bryant didn't pass the ball, and the home fans were all cool and cool in their hearts.

Fans have similar thoughts, the Australian champion seems to be a parallel commodity who can only talk about it? "White Duncan" is far from the real Duncan.

What made the home fans collapse even more was still to come, and the two sides successively changed the main force, Jackson replaced Luke Wharton and Cook in order to help Kobe withdraw the interior line and give him more offensive space.

As soon as the Suns saw Bogut go down, the Lakers were going to fight for small-ball tactics, and immediately replaced Vallejo with David Lee and Marion.

Under Guo Xu's organization, the Suns quickly played a wave of 13-2, widening the difference to more than 30 points.

Among them, David Lee scored 6 points, a dunk after a block, and two mid-range shots. On the defensive end, he is responsible for defending people in the restricted area, grabbing rebounds and launching counterattacks with a pass, and protecting rebounds in the backcourt is also very good.

Barkley commented after Jackson called a timeout: "David Lee scored in double figures in the last game, and he played well today, and compared to Bogut, I think he is more like the champion." ”

Smith said: "Vallejo and Ariza also played a role on the defensive end today, and the Suns are all rookies at the end of the first round or rookies in the second round, but none of them are weak." ”

In the second half, Kobe Bryant, who was 31 points behind, was anxious and began to work frantically alone, taking the ball is looking for opportunities to shoot, and the Suns are not clipping, strictly guarding against outside shooting points, and Bell, Howard, and Ariza take turns to defend alone.

Kobe Bryant is not terrible when he plays two points, and he may score 3 or 40 points in the whole game, but his efficiency is about the same as that of Bell and Howard combined. It's just that the Suns share playing time between the two, and Kobe Bryant plays for a long time. The Suns defend other positions, and the Lakers will undoubtedly win if the efficiency is complete.

Kobe Bryant scored 17 points on 6-of-9 shooting and 5-of-5 free throws in the first quarter, but the margin was still widening, Suns players were able to score, and the stars were shooting higher.

Marion hit three three-pointers in a single quarter, and also scored four times on the counterattack and positional cuts. He scored 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting.

Guo Xu had 7 points and 7 assists, and 23 points, 16 assists and 2 steals in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Suns led by 36 points, and the game went into garbage time early......
