On Dec. 4, the Suns host the Hawks.

Under Nash's leadership, the Hawks became a powerhouse in the East, starting with a 9-5 record. The summer Hawks added fresh blood, first-round guard Luthor Hyde and second-round swingman Vaughan Weaver. Coincidentally, in Guo Xu's previous life, both of these outside players played for the Rockets.

Hyde and Deron Williams are the twin stars of the University of Illinois, and the big difference in the draft is because Hyde is 191cm tall and weighs 84 kilograms to play point guard. No matter how strong his three-point ability is, he is also a scum on the defensive end, and he can't resist swing people.

The Hawks drafted Weaver in the second round because of his physical fitness, although his technique is a little rough and his shooting is inconsistent, his speed is very fast, he can play fast, and his bounce is also at the level of a slam dunk contest.

The Suns players were very eye-catching when they arrived at the stadium, and Guo Xu gave his teammates a set of brand-name suits as uniforms to build a male model team, which could boost morale without waiting for the game to start.

The reporter interviewed Guo Xu outside the stadium and asked him to predict the outcome of the game.

Guo Xu replied: "Friendship first, competition second, we have to enjoy the process of every game, play happily, victory or defeat is not important." ”

When the Hawks arrived, they were dressed in sportswear, and the reporter asked Nash: "A lot of people say you look like Jason Guo, how do you feel?" ”

'I think it's a compliment, Jason is better than me individually and has played a lot of horrible performances, but I hope to beat him today as a team.'

The person Nash wants to beat the most is Guo Xu, he entered the league in 1996, four years earlier than Guo Xu, but people say that he is a weakened version of Guo Xu, as an All-Star player, which makes him feel very unhappy.

He fantasized that one day he could meet Guo Xu in the finals and defeat the Sun to win the championship, but he didn't dare to say that he could defeat Guo Xu with his own ability, and the gap between the two people's personal abilities was clear at a glance.

After the warm-up, the two sides made their debuts, and Guo Xu did not forget to kiss his girlfriend behind the player's bench before going on the field.

CCTV5 broadcast this game live, and the Suns VS Raptors CCTV did not broadcast live before, which caused dissatisfaction among many fans, and the Suns played much better than the Rockets.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Guo Xu doesn't forget to show affection when he plays, and behind the player's bench is his girlfriend's seat." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Meghan Fox is now a well-known actress in Hollywood, and Chinese fans will not be unfamiliar, and her comedy movie is being released recently, which has received a lot of praise. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Guo Xu is really a person with a great sense of humor, his cats are famous, and he starred in that movie with Meghan." He also stars in musicals during Star Weekend and is now the most entertaining star in the NBA, better than O'Neal. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "The common characteristic of the two is that they love to play, and they are both questioned for not working hard, but they have not delayed playing. ”

Suns five: Guo Xu, Bell, Howard, Haslem, David Lee.

Hawks five: Nash, Childis, Dio, Josh Smith, Al Harrington.

Vallejo didn't start this time because the Hawks didn't have a heavy interior in their start, and it was Nashga's four swingmen. The Suns' small lineup is similar, and the tallest David Lee is only 206CM, which weighs about Harrington.

The Hawks attacked first, Nash dribbled and organized, and Guo Xu was close outside the three-point line.

It's a sign of respect for Nash, and if they don't get serious against the Hawks, the Suns are likely to lose.

Nash is one of the few people who can shoot with Guo Xu, a frequent player in the 180 club, but unfortunately he doesn't have Guo Xu's explosive body, he breaks through with the ball, and his ability to create mobile opportunities is poor, and he can't dominate the game with shooting.

Nash couldn't turn around after being stuck by Guo Xu, and Harrington pulled out to cover.

Nash was blocked by Haslem with the ball and failed to break through, and Guo Xu quickly chased the defense in place. Nash gave the ball to Harrington, who dropped back to follow, and was out of space. Harrington took a step and gave it to Childis, who was on the right sideline.

Childes is a physical swingman, drafted with the sixth pick in the first round in 2004, and was a team highlight last season with Josh Smith, a regular in the top five.

Payton didn't start this game and played a two-guard, and the Suns didn't give opponents a chance to easily misplace. Childis was entangled in Bale and opted for passing, he is characterized by being tall, fast, impactful, but average with the ball.

Nash received the ball and organized it again on the outside, and was close to Guo Xu again.

Nash and Josh played blocking and dismantling, David Lee changed his defense to actively block Nash's breakthrough line, and Guo Xu caught up to form a bag and let Josh go. Nash split the ball, Josh got open on the left, aimed for a three-point shot, Haslem Ka, David Lee stepped back to get the rebound.

The Eagles players' return speed was particularly fast, Guo Xu retreated to get the ball, and landed in a position without hurry.

Guo Xu and David Lee played a block and dismantle as soon as they passed the half, he changed direction and started at full speed to shake off Nash, and Josh changed defense to follow from the side.

Guo Xu brought into the three-point line in one go, 45-degree face frame, and Nash chased the defense to form a bag.

The two have been competing for many years, and Nash knows very well how high the success rate of Guo Xu's misplaced single striker is, and Josh's strength is improving, but it is only the second season of his career, and his defensive experience is seriously lacking.

Guo Xu saw Nash coming up, hit the ground and passed the ball to David Lee in the middle, who received the ball without a single step, shot in the middle, and hit it steadily. 2 to 0.

David Lee has a blind spot in his shot, and there is basically no 45-degree mid-range shot on both sides, so the coaching staff does not arrange for him to cover on the side. He was particularly solid in the middle and within 60 degrees on both sides, shooting nearly 50 per cent. He didn't threaten out of the three-point line, and he couldn't shoot a few shots in practice.

Even if there are weaknesses, David Lee can be called an excellent instant combat force, and the Suns' tactics can be played, and if Valejo is on the floor, the perimeter can be free after covering.

When the Suns score, the Hawks can't play fast breaks, they can't play their most powerful, positional battles are not the rhythm they like, the starters lack three-point shooters, they rely on Nash and Harrington to shoot three-pointers, and others have to practice.

That's why the Hawks management drafted Hyde, who can field a two-guard when the team can't run and hit, and Hyde pulls away in the bottom corner to create opportunities for his teammates on the weak side.

Nash blocked and dismantled again, Guo Xu was no longer close, bypassed the cover to block the breakthrough route from the inside, and continued to mark people in other positions.

Nash gave the ball to Josh, and David Lee kept a step more than a step away to prevent a break-through and not a defensive shot. After Josh reached on the left, he shot a 50-degree dry pull-up and hit an iron with a slight interference from David Lee, and Howard protected the rebound in the backcourt.

Josh is a pity player, just looking at physical fitness, he is not inferior to LeBron James, but he did not practice shooting well until retirement in his previous life, and he couldn't shoot at medium and long range.

Guo Xu dribbled and fell into the position, slowing down the rhythm again.

The Suns didn't launch a fast break today, and the pre-game coaching staff discussed that if the fast break dominated, the Hawks would also play a familiar rhythm. The two sides fought for position, and the Eagles must not be the match for the Suns.

The Suns' biggest advantage isn't the overall mobility, but the star's ability to play alone. All four of them are pulled away, Guo Xu's single-handedness against Nash in the middle will make the Eagles very uncomfortable, and if they don't get caught in the bag, heads-up is an opportunity.

Eagles coach Woodson knows how powerful Guo Xu is, but he is still ready to let Nash defend a few rounds at the beginning, and if Guo Xu doesn't feel good, the team will play better next. Last season, Guo Xu often had a bad hand, reduced his shots, and finally averaged less than 25 points per game, and Nash had a good defense.

But today, Nash is facing Guo Xu, who has been upgraded in the fourth time loop......
