The rest of the Christmas game was not far behind, with the Knicks beating the Bulls 105-98 at home.

The Knicks are back on the Christmas stage and are second in the East, behind the Cavaliers.

Derrick Rose, the core of the Bulls, has taken a lot of shots this season and has average efficiency, scoring 25 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 6 steals and 7 turnovers on 12-of-28 shooting, 0-of-2 three-pointers and 1-of-3 free throws.

Rose, who can't shoot three-pointers, can't get the best record, he can't win the regular season MVP, the efficiency is not worth mentioning, and the peak is 55% true shooting rate.

Most of the people who like Rose are pseudo-fans and are attracted to his style of play. He changed direction and broke through every game, and made wonderful pull-up layups and dunks. This is the most knee-damaging play, and soon he will play himself to death and there is no salvation at all.

Jeremy Lin, a second-round rookie who joined the Suns, also played this way and was prone to injury. Guo Xu suggested that he learn from Roy and develop in the direction of European steps and three-point shooting, he may not become a star, but it is better than becoming a glass man.

The Cavaliers, who signed Wesley Matthews, lost one game in December, lost seven games to sit first in the East by Christmas, beating the Heat 103-96 for a six-game winning streak.

The strength of the Heat trident is insufficient, and Granger, Odom and James, Boshby are far behind.

LeBron James stays with the Cavaliers and has a tacit understanding with his teammates, he doesn't need time to run in, he has stable statistics, a quasi-triple-double every year, and he is also a contender for the regular season MVP this year.

On December 29, the league ushered in a key match, with the Suns playing the Cavaliers at home.

James hasn't slept well at night, and since 2003, he has been in the league for 8 years, and he has not won Guo Xu once in the playoffs. Defeating the sun has become his obsession, and he dreams that he loses to the sun, although Guo Xu has not abused him in the parallel world.

James was very depressed, he not only lost to Guo Xu on the court, but also lost in commercial endorsements. Which endorsement fee is higher, the eight crowns or the four kings, the major merchants don't need to consider it at all.

James even lost to Guo Xu, he watched the comedy movie "Neighbor War" made by Guo Xu and O'Neill, I don't know if Guo Xu really had a hair transplant, he needs to do this now.

The only thing that comforted him was that management signed Matthews, a man who is really capable, has excellent individual defense, is good at catching and shooting threes, and can occasionally play alone with the ball.

The deal was crooked, the Cavaliers needed to strengthen the No. 2 spot, there was no reliable target in the free market, and they had to gamble on the non-draft entry into the NBA Matthews, and they were lucky enough to be right.

Suns players are equally serious about this game, with many predicting that the Cavaliers are the most likely team to break through in the East, with a high chance of the two teams meeting in the Finals.

This game was very intense, and the first three quarters were helpless against the other party, and the score was alternately leading, and the maximum score difference was only 5 points. The knights can't guard against Guo Xu, and the Suns can't guard against James.

In the summer, James worked his shooting, averaging more than 40 percent of his shooting percentage per game for the first time in his career. His three-point range was still poor, he took few shots, and scored 1.2 goals on 33.3% shooting. He also stepped up his back-to-back attack, learning to use his body to back-toe a year earlier.

The Cavaliers are not inferior to the Suns in the start, and the bench is at a disadvantage, there is no way, the depth of the Suns' roster is terrible.

The Suns did not sign veterans, and veterans who wanted to win championships joined the Cavaliers. In addition to Mike Bibby, Carlos Arroyo, Juwan Howard also came. Originally, these people were going to go to the Heat, but the Big Three did not form a group, and they felt that the Cavaliers were more attractive.

Two of the league's most loyal stars, James and Boozer, have been working together for eight years, and the chemistry is amazing, and it seems that they are just lacking good helpers.

It's a pity that veterans, including "Big Z" Ilgoskas, can mainly provide experience, which is not a good helper. At the critical moment, none of the players in this group of declining periods can be relied on, the offense is alive, and the defense suffers.

When it came to the final quarter when the stars were most needed to play their individual abilities, the Suns used small-ball tactics, Ibaka center, Haslem power forward, and the outside starters played together, and played a run-and-gun counterattack under the leadership of Guo Xu.

Guo Xu had 14 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, and led the team to defeat the Cavaliers 13-0 with a wave of sudden shots.

James still didn't dare to shoot in the face of single defense in the middle and long distance in the last quarter, and forced a breakthrough to attract the ball to his teammates, scoring 2 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

In the core competition between the two sides, Guo Xu was slightly better, and finally the Sun won 122-114.

Guo Xu had a double-double of 45 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals; James had a quasi-triple-double of 41 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Fans were very happy, and there was a discussion on the Internet that this was the best regular season game since the start of the season, and James didn't feel that it was enjoyable, and he lost again.

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown would ask the player to hand the ball to James, and he couldn't stand the drop in physical strength in the final quarter. No. 1 Mo Williams and Daniel Gibson suffered against Guo Xu before, and they still have to play, and Bibi against Guo Xu's legs are trembling.

The biggest highlight of the Cavaliers was that Matthews defended Roy, allowing Roy to shoot 5-of-15, 0-of-3 three-pointers, and 1-of-2 free throws, scoring only 11 points and 4 assists. Matthews scored 18 points and made 4-of-7 three-pointers.

After the game, the media commented on the game, believing that the Cavaliers still couldn't beat the Suns in the finals, and James was the worst "emperor".

Heading into January, the Suns lost three more games, all of which were lost when the perimeter players were inaccurate, and all three of them were terrible for Roy, like sleepwalking.

The media has speculated about the reason for Roy's sluggish performance this month, and the discussion among fans is even more varied.

A rumor appeared online that Roy was the godfather of the underworld and cited some evidence.

First of all, the reporters found that Roy did not participate in group activities much this season, and he never went out with Guo Xu and O'Neal, and his whereabouts were mysterious.

In addition, after the Suns narrowly defeated the Rockets by 2 points away and Roy shot a killer three-pointer, the Rockets' starting center Chuck Hayes said in an interview with reporters: "Roy is the real gangster, as long as someone dares to provoke Roy, he will try his best to kill the other party, even if Roy is injured, he also has a ruthlessness that does not admit defeat."

It was also said that Roy never went to high-end hotels, and that in his spare time he would go only to black nightclubs, where the people were extremely complicated. The expressionless Roy seems to be an honest man, but in fact he is the real "godfather" of the NBA.

Have you ever seen an otaku underworld boss who gets married early, loves husband and wife, and usually accompanies his wife and children at home on vacation? Roy is like that.

He was literally a kid who grew up in a black neighborhood, maybe he met friends who joined the gang when he was younger, and that's it. James also knows this kind of person, which doesn't mean that he will take a high salary and live a good life just to play with gangsters.

The reason Roy didn't participate in group activities was that he had a child in 2009 and wanted to better take on the responsibilities of fatherhood.

The Suns lost two more games before the All-Star break in February, and have already lost 10 games in the halfway season, and it looks like it will be difficult to play a 70+ win record. However, their record is still ranked first in the West.

The performance of both the Spurs and the Thunder has been inconsistent, and the losses have gradually become more and more. The Spurs are tied for first place with a 47-10 record with the Suns. The Thunder have slipped to fifth place in the West, falling behind.

The Suns have lost more games this year, which is also related to the reinforcement of many teams in the West, the Warriors, Grizzlies, Lakers and other teams are not fuel-efficient lights, and it is possible to beat each other against each other.
