The Suns' next road trip was against the Spurs, 95-107, and the winning streak was ended.

Guo Xu played 38 minutes, scored 33 points and 10 assists, and led the team of 5 people to score double-doubles but could not get back a victory.

The turning point of the game was the final quarter, when the Suns were still leading by 3 points at the beginning, D'Antoni replaced Guo Xu for a 3-minute break, and was beaten 11-2 by the Spurs, and then changed back to Guo Xu and failed to catch up.

The Spurs are worthy of being an old defensive powerhouse, and their defense against Guo Xu is very targeted and relatively successful, and they would rather let other people shoot in empty positions than let Guo Xu shoot comfortably, and there have been interference in front of him.

Tony Parker does a good job of defending against the ball, he is very fast, and he is one of the few people in the league who will not be thrown away by Guo Xu with speed. He can also play a role on the offensive end, not only with speed, but also with blocking and playmaking.

In the fifth season of his career, Parker's individual ability has reached its peak, his ball protection is like Henry, and Guo Xu is not easy to defend.

This season, the overall strength of the Spurs has reached the peak of nearly 10 years, with the "GDP portfolio" as the core, and everyone else can do their part and play a role.

The team's starter, Bruce Bowen, is a defensive specialist, a well-known 3-and-D player, and only Nesterovic has been disappointing, with a terrible performance on both ends of the floor.

The Spurs' bench is led by Michael Finley, Brent Barry, along with excellent blue-collar center Nazr Mohammed, veterans "Crazy" Van Exel, Robert Horry and many more. 2004 first-round rookie Benno Udri, Argentine national team power forward, non-draft NBA Fabrizio Oberto as a fringe man.

The Spurs have always implemented the economic team building strategy of superstar and role players, coupled with Popovich's magical command, excellent team culture, and united atmosphere, all of which make them a strong team in the league that no one dares to take lightly.

After this game, the two teams had the same record, both 7-2, but the Spurs lineup was obviously much stronger than the Suns, and the black pots still couldn't catch Guo Xu's handle. The black pot can only say again and again that his scores began to decline, and he can't get high scores when he plays a strong team, and 101 points is brushed.

This is nonsense, if Guo Xu can play 70+ in a strong defensive team, then his average of 50+ per game in a single season is too little, and 60+ is guaranteed. Let Chamberlain play the Celtics every day, and he can average 40 points per game?

A decline in form is inevitable, which is why Guo Xu chose to work hard in the first game of the cycle. Even for a person like him, playing for about 40 minutes in each game is a double test of mental and physical strength, not to mention that he also took a long flight to participate in the premiere of the movie.

"Happy Death Day" became a standout in November, with no competitors, and grossed $38.42 million at the North American box office in its first week. The original version of the movie had a global box office of over 100 million without publicity, and now Guo Xu is the best publicity, although it was filmed 10 years earlier, it still achieved better results.

Meghan Fox has also successfully become a new Hollywood star, and many of her blind expressions in the time loop have been circulated on the Internet.

Because it is a holiday file, and if the release time is extended to after Christmas, it is expected that the global box office will definitely exceed 150 million, and Meghan is going to be popular this time, and she will explode Disney's "Mean Girls" combination in 2004 alone.

Back at home for two days of rest, the Suns lost 93-115 to the Grizzlies.

Guo Xu scored 38 points and 6 assists, and his shooting rate was generally only 43.7%, and the Grizzlies also tightly packed him.

This year, veteran coach Hubby Brown has chosen to retire at the age of 72, and management has corrected Lionel Hollins, and the Grizzlies have played the same style as last season and retained the core lineup.

After studying Guo Xu's two high-scoring games, the teams had a way to deal with it, sending two fast people to keep pestering him to make it difficult for him to catch the ball, and immediately after receiving the ball, he went to the bag to force him to pass the ball, and never gave him an easy chance to shoot.

There were some changes to the Grizzlies lineup, and after sending off Jason "White Chocolate" Williams, the No. 1 spot was two small men. The starter is Chaggy Atkins, who is 180cm tall, and the backup is Nate Robinson, both who are fast and can shoot three-pointers.

The Grizzlies' idea of building the team is very correct, two interior lines Randolph and Gasol who can not only open the shot, but also attack in the low post as the axis, and the periphery is full of players who can shoot three-pointers, and the small guard is good at blocking and breaking through.

This David Lee simply couldn't get on, and as soon as he appeared, he was attacked by someone who grabbed his weakness. In addition to David Lee, the Suns only have Kukoc and Josh Powell in the interior rotation, who can pull away shots on the offensive end and have an equally poor defense.

Vallejo doesn't have a suitable center to bench, and as soon as he rests, the Suns' penalty area defense will have problems, which is precisely the Grizzlies' strong point.

The Suns chose to wrap the bears by shrinking to the restricted area, and Mike Miller, Mike Dunleavy, Eddie Jones, Atkins and others were able to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, and the shooting percentage was very high.

The Grizzlies lineup restrained the Suns, and if the two teams meet in the playoffs, the Suns will not be able to advance. The weakness of the Grizzlies is that the pace of offensive and defensive transitions is not fast enough, and the Suns have to work the run-and-gun counterattack if they want to win.

This time, Guo Xu became a tumor for high differentiation, and there were not many passes. Once the running and bombing starts, teammates are easy to get easy scoring opportunities, and he grabs three points in the case of interference, which is naturally not as good as the effect of sharing the ball after breaking through the attraction bag.

In the past, Guo Xu would choose to pass, but now he chooses to shoot, and he has to shoot when he rushes, just as his teammates can't shoot. The reason is simple, he doesn't want his points per game to drop from a high place quickly.

After the game, many people analyzed the reason why Guo Xu played like this, and experts believed that he wanted to average 40 points per game in a single season, not simply to compete for the scoring title. Because of those two super high scores, he is still averaging 47.7 points per game after two consecutive games of less than 40 points.

The season has just begun, and Guo Xu's stats will definitely drop in the later stages, and no one thinks he can break Chamberlain's record of 50 points per game, but in the end it is amazing enough to maintain an average of more than 40 points per game, and no one has done this since 1963.

In the history of the NBA, there are only four players who have averaged 35+ per game in a single season, Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Rick Barry and Jordan. Among them, Chamberlain has averaged 35+ points per game in 5 seasons, which is definitely no longer the record.

The scary thing is that Guo Xu's shooting rate is still 50%, and there are many assists, Jordan peaked with 37.1 points, he seems to be able to surpass it easily, and he uses fewer shots.

Jordan averaged 27.8 shots per game in his most solitary season, as many as Kobe Bryant's 35.4 points, and according to Guo Xu's scoring efficiency, there must be 40+ shots with this shot.

Guo Xu did plan it, and vowed to score more than 40 points, and an average of 38 points per game would surpass Jordan, but the numbers were not good and not so impressive.

How hard can it be to just average two more points per game? The meaning after getting it is completely different, and the gold content is higher than that of Chamberlain.

There will definitely be young neurotics who will say that Chamberlain is greater, as if they watched Chamberlain play in the 60s, but Guo Xu believes that it must be a very small number, and his popularity will not be worse than Jordan's peak, or even higher.

He had to seize the opportunity, and when his teammates returned from injury, there would be no more shops in the village.

After Xiao Si and Marion can play next season, he will still choose to pass, otherwise the evaluation he gets will only be negative, and everyone can see that he has a cancerous style of play.

In the next game, Guo Xu is ready to seize the opportunity to strive for another super high score and end the losing streak.

The Suns' next opponent is the Raptors......
