In January, the Suns defeated the Raptors, Knicks, Warriors and other teams one after another.

The Raptors have even drafted high-pick rookies in recent years, and no one has played except Chris Bosh, and Marvin Williams and Tyrus Thomas have performed poorly, and potential does not equal strength.

The Raptors failed to trade TJ Ford, but left Mike James, a cancer that dropped significantly from last season after James signed the contract, and it was clear that the contract year was brushed up. The Raptors are aiming to make the playoffs this year and have a hard time getting past the first round.

The Knicks' Italian champion Bagnani is soft and heartbreaking, as a 213CM big man, he doesn't enter the restricted area at all, and his shooting percentage is average when he floats outside, and he can't carry people or grab rebounds on the defensive end.

Bagnani is averaging only 2.3 shots per game in the box and in the low post, and his shooting percentage is far from comparable to that of Template Nowitzki, and it is impossible for the Knicks to rise on him this season.

The Warriors pose a little threat to the Suns, and the perimeter players are good.

Their coach was replaced by Mike Woodson, who appears to be in touch with Joe Johnson. After he joined the Warriors, he immediately established Joe Johnson as the first core, and Byron Davis as the second leader, playing style imitating the Suns' positional battles, and also a bit of the Spurs' interior strategy and the shadow of the guard's breakthrough.

The Warriors can basically pull away, Troy Murphy is also a big man who can shoot threes, and they also signed Drew Gooden to have a good season and is expected to make the playoffs. But the overall strength is still not comparable to the Suns.

Joe Johnson has become the boss of the Warriors from the Suns, and his personal ability is slightly lacking, he plays an average of about 40 minutes per game, and the data is 20+5+5, and the scoring efficiency is average.

This is the ceiling of Joe Johnson, who is stuck in physical fitness and cannot become a superstar, and has nothing to do with personality. In fact, his calm personality is conducive to playing on the court, he has a big heart and dares to play key balls. The bearded Davis can't compare with him in this regard, and his shooting is too iron.

If you want to talk about achievements, Joe Johnson may not be higher than in his previous life, he joined the Warriors and played in the West, it is difficult to be selected as an All-Star in a row like in the Hawks, there are many stars in the West, and the competition is fierce.

On January 11, the Suns ushered in a key game, facing the Cavaliers led by "Little Emperor" James at home.

Cavaliers fans call this game "revenge battle", pinning their hopes on a beautiful yearning, hoping that this year the Cavaliers can defeat the Suns and get closer to winning the championship.

The Cavaliers are currently 28-6 and in first place in the East, and they have started the season well. James' stats are down from last season, still averaging 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and he is the biggest favorite for regular season MVP this season.

Guo Xu has been MVP four times in a row, and his star teammates are back this season, and his data has dropped so much that he has lost the qualification to win the MVP. The other Suns players also don't win the award, they aren't even the bosses.

Other teams have good stats, Kobe Bryant is one, but he can't even get on good terms with his teammates, and the Lakers' record is not as good as the Cavaliers. The Spurs, Pistons, and Hawks have decent records, and the stars have no data.

It's a pity that Nash is also classified as a star with no data, and he can't get an average of 20+10 per game, which is really far behind Guo Xu. Guo Xu played nearly 4 minutes less than Nash this season, and his statistics still won, and the point guard's statistical performance was highly praised by him.

Chris Paul and Deron Williams are also stars influenced by Guo Xu, who used to score 20+10 to be super point guards. Now no one will say that Paul is the successor of the Smiling Assassin, people will compare them with Guo Xu, the Smiling Assassin is no longer comparable.

The game on the 11th was broadcast live across the United States, and fans were paying attention, as well as league officials. If the Cavaliers can't win against the Suns, they don't know how long their winning streak will last. Judging from the matchups between the two sides in the finals, the Cavaliers have little chance of winning.

Sure enough, the Cavaliers were beaten by the Suns and lost by 22 points away, and the gap between the two sides in the No. 1 position could not be bridged.

"Flying Squirrel" Stoudmayre joined the Cavaliers in the summer with a low salary, and there were high expectations, but after the start of the season, he could only play off the bench, his defense was terrible, and his offensive ability also declined. He played 17 minutes in this game, shooting 1-of-5 from the field and 0-of-1 from three-point range, with only 2 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Guo Xu's performance in the rookie season was better than that of Stadameyer, and now that "Little Squirrel" is about to retire, the two of them score easier against Guo Xu than in training.

This season, the "flying squirrel" played an average of 22 minutes per game, scored 6.1 points and 3 assists, and the three-point shooting rate was only 33.7%, and the breakthrough speed was just average. The Trail Blazers were reluctant to renew his contract with a low salary, just because they knew he couldn't do it.

Eric Snow and Eddie House also can't defend against Guo Xu, only House plays a greater role in the offensive tactical system, he can pull away and shoot three points, and the other two have no chance to break through, passing the ball in the half, and it is not good to play their strengths.

A defective position is doomed to the Cavaliers not being able to beat the Suns, Guo Xu is not finished throwing up a heads-up three-point on the periphery, and he changes to break through as soon as Snow is on the ground, and he can also rely on his teammates to cover the running position to catch the ball, looking for a single opportunity on the bottom line.

James scored 34 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, and his overall shooting percentage was not low, but to no avail.

After the game, James was a little frustrated, lamenting that the Suns' offense was terrible and the Cavaliers couldn't defend it.

When asked by reporters about the fact that "Big Z" Ilgoskas would be put on the shelf in the middle of the game, he said it was just a rumor.

In fact, the Cavaliers management really has this idea, their goal is to win the championship, not the Eastern Conference championship, and if they want to beat the Suns, they must strengthen the roster.

Big Z is not suitable for Boozer, and the two of them are very poor at blocking and pick-and-roll together, and their movement speed is too slow. Is there any need to consider between Big Z, who has injury concerns and averages less than 30 minutes per game, and Boozer, a double-double All-Star?

The Cavaliers manager wants to use Big Z for an excellent shooting guard or a forward who is good at blocking and pick-and-roll, and strengthen the Suns' lineup, with Biedrins at the center position, and the defense is not bad.

The early arrival of the small ball era has triggered a series of butterfly effects. In his previous life, James and Big Z fought side by side for eight years, and when Big Z retired, James's words revealed sincere emotions.

"I check in with Z a lot, maybe once or twice a month. For me, he means everything. When you come into the team as a rookie, you're looking for a leader, and that's what I found my way through. He taught me how to be a professional footballer on and off the pitch. You can't take these for granted. ”

When Yao Ming and O'Neal both began to lose weight and improve mobility, they were destined to not be able to fight side by side until Big Z retired.

After beating the Cavaliers, the Suns' schedule was easy, against a number of weak teams outside the playoffs, and the Suns, the kind of team with only one average star in charge, played with no suspense.

As long as two of the Suns' starting five players feel better, it will be fatal, and Guo Xu will give them more passes and let them shoot more. Because Guo Xu broke through sharply, he could help the team even if he had a poor shooting touch.

In addition to the Trident and Roy, Raga Bell, Tim Thomas, and Anthony Parker also excelled in the run-and-gun system, occasionally drawing an opponent who made a three-point line shot to death.

All three role players are shooting over 40 percent from three-point range, with Thomas shooting 44.4 percent from the highest, and the same two that would have been a good fit for the Bulls. Worse Ariza also shot 36.8 percent from three-point range.

On Jan. 21, the Suns defeated the Timberwolves 131-112, bringing their winning streak to a staggering 40 games......
