The Suns playoffs against the Lakers and Clippers are also a kind of luck, the three teams are in the same division, the distance is very close, you don't even need to take a plane to play away, you can take a bus to and from Phoenix and Los Angeles.

On the road, the Suns' style of play remained the same, with the whole game being marked to defend, and then fighting with the Clippers to attack.

The Clippers' leading scorer was Elton Brand, who was in his peak season, averaging 24.7 points, 10 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1 steal and 2.5 blocks in 39.2 minutes per game.

Guo Xucai played 1 minute more than Brand, and won an average of 40+ per game, and the scoring ability of the core of the two teams and the ability to attract bags and clips are obviously not a grade.

As long as the Suns limit the Clippers' outside shooting, half of the victory will be won, and Guo Xu will play at a normal level, and the Suns will win. The Clippers' overall shooting rate of 48.8% looks beautiful, but the proportion of actual two-point shooting is too high, and the scoring efficiency is not as good as that of the Suns.

In the third game, the Clippers played the best, leading by 5 points in the third quarter, and the Suns bloomed more in the final quarter, finding their touch on the outside and shooting 8 more three-pointers than the Clippers in the whole game, and reversed the game in waves, and finally won by 11 points.

In the fourth game, in order to strengthen the outside firepower, the Clippers gave Radmanovic more playing time, and the blue-collar Quinton Rose, who could not shoot threes, rested. This substitution went wrong, and Josh Howard was a chance to go heads-up with the ball, and scored multiple breakaways and back-to-back Rademanovic to score and finish with 34 points and 5 rebounds.

The Suns beat the Clippers by 25 points and completed two consecutive sweeps.

At the press conference, Guo Xu bluntly said that there were no challenges in the first two rounds. It is a fact that the Suns made the promotion easily, and no one thought that he was arrogant when he said that.

President David Stern felt a deep sense of helplessness, the Lakers added a champion center and couldn't even create a little threat to the Suns, just Kobe Bryant is still called "Jordan's successor"? The Clippers are even worse, the outside lacks all-stars who attract fans and can score, and they can't win it.

The Suns have been praised by major media outlets, and they are the number one favorites to win the championship, even if the injury problem is the worst in the league.

The comments from netizens are very interesting. "Didn't anyone interview Pippen? I wonder what he thinks of the Suns and Jason now, is Jason already overtaking Jordan in the West? Pippen previously said that Jordan led the Suns to the second round. ”

"I think if other teams want to beat Jason, the league will have to introduce new clauses to restrict him, such as the elbow no foul clause, Jason should not be able to elbow the big man."

"Oh my God, the Suns have the highest salary other than Jason, and the highest paid person is Raja Bell, can this be a championship?!"

"I feel that there is no suspense in the Western Finals, other teams want to beat the Suns, unless there is a rule in the NBA now, Jason Guo is not allowed to shoot three points, he is too accurate."

Guo Xu's three-point shooting is really accurate now, and after entering the playoffs, he is not like the regular season, breaking through the point-splitting, three-point supplement, and the shooting rate is higher.

This can disrupt the opponent's defensive arrangement, and against a player who averages 40+ per game, the first thought of all coaching staff is to prevent him from scoring, and then to prevent the ball.

As a result, Guo Xu shot 47.3% from three-point range in the first two rounds, averaged 3.5 shots per game, shot 55.2% overall from the field, shot 90% from the free throw line, and scored 25.5 points, 3 rebounds, 14.3 assists and 1.7 steals.

He didn't score again, but the Suns won easier than the regular season, and he played eight minutes less than in the regular season, often leaving work early.

He also gave his teammates a psychological hint in this way. "The boss still has the strength to spare, let's just play boldly, if it doesn't work, pass it on to him and solve the battle in the same way." The Suns' role players play better with this relaxed mentality.

Now the league really wants to introduce a clause to restrict Guo Xu, and fans will get tired of the lack of competition in the game, and they have done this before.

In an effort to reduce George McCann's lethality, the width of the three-second zone was expanded from 6 feet to 12 feet. Later, the league widened the 3-second zone from 12 feet to 16 feet to limit Chamberlain's dominance.

Because Bob Cousy was so good on the ball that he kept possessing the ball to run out of time when the Celtics were ahead, the league set a 24-second time limit to encourage offense and spectacle of the game.

In order to limit O'Neal "Big Shark", the league modified the reasonable collision zone under the basket, allowed the use of joint defense tactics, and added a three-second violation in the restricted area.

But for Guo Xu, the league can't think of any restrictions, he is a person who dominates the court by shooting and breaking through.

Not to mention the limitations, there are now fans who suggest setting up a four-point ball, drawing a circle near the center circle, using the team logo, and the player shooting in that range or backcourt is a four. Otherwise, it would be unfair to Guo Xu, who has shot a lot of ultra-long threes this season.

The other series were then decided.

The Spurs won on the road in Game 6, knocking out the Rockets led by Yao Mai 4-2.

Yao Ming and Duncan exploded each other in the series, and both cut 20+10. The two play in a similar style, creating opportunities for teammates to cover, can catch the ball and shoot, and can also cut to the low post to hold the ball and play back.

The Rockets lost on the outside, Parker and Ginobili were difficult to defend the Rockets by covering them, and Yao Ming, Mutombo, and Juwan Howard were not good at defensive blocking.

Hayes, the short insider, is more mobile and has a better pick-and-roll, but his offense is too bad and he is let go when he plays.

Maddy averaged under Bruce Bowen's focused care, averaging 22 points per game while shooting just 40 percent from the field. He's a player who doesn't fear interference, and few people can cover the pull-up jumper, but he can't feel it this year. If Maddie has the form of the Magic period, the Rockets can pass the Spurs.

The second round of competition in the east is very fierce, and many people feel that the pattern of the west being strong and the east is weak has been broken, and the eastern army is more powerful to threaten the sun.

The Wizards lost 4-2 to the Hawks and stopped in the second round. Their biggest weakness is still the No. 2 position, and no one has said that Larry Hughes has defended well this year, and his offensive stats have dropped a lot since he signed a high-paying long-term contract.

Arenas defends the Hawks' No. 2 position, with Larry Hughes playing against Nash.

Hughes didn't guard either Nash's shot or his breakaway shot, which was key to the Hawks' victory. Arenas hasn't been able to defend yet, and Hughes' terrible confrontation will be blown up in the No. 2 position, as was the case in the last round.

In addition, the Wizards' meat shield-type center defensive team played well, but it was not good against the Hawks, who mainly played counterattacks, and their mobility suffered.

The Cavaliers eliminated the Pistons 4-3 in a tiebreaker.

The Pistons couldn't stop James, who averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the series, shooting 50% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, and 75.5% from the free throw line.

But the main contributor to the Cavaliers' victory was Boozer, who beat Ben Wallace, the best defensive player, averaging 20 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1 steal per game in the series, shooting 52.8% from the field.

Boozer is a much better tactical player than Big Ben, and ironically, he didn't even make the all-out team when it came to the All-Star selection.

"Big Z" Ilgoskas made most of his shots in the middle of the shot, pulling out to block and dismantle his teammates, and catching and shooting. Boozer can be inside and out, can cover on the side and front, and can shoot accurately in the middle of the ball, which can be called the "little bandit in the middle of the shot".

Boozer is also a smart player, who will run with James after covering, standing or cutting in the air, and often get misplaced offensive opportunities after receiving passes. Even if he is in a good position, he can take advantage of Wallace's low feet to turn and shoot. He shot 57.7 percent from the field in the regular season and 48 percent from close range in the low post.

After leaving Boozer behind, the knights rose.
