In the second half of the regular season, the Suns coaching staff increased the rotation of the lineup in order to avoid player injuries and prepare for the playoffs, and Guo Xu's playing time was reduced to about 32 minutes, and everyone else played less than 30 minutes.

Even so, it was difficult for other teams to beat the Suns, and when the Big Three were on the floor together, their offense was unstoppable.

The best record in NBA history was originally created by the Suns, and they have no higher pursuit. Just to win one more game, the nerves of the players have to be tense all season, and it is never a good thing to be under high pressure for a long time. The management and coaching staff didn't set goals, and the players played better.

The 2-8 places in the West are the Grizzlies, Mavericks, Thunder, Jazz, Kings, Spurs, and Rockets.

The Grizzlies have been outstanding this year, with no serious injuries on the team, with the exception of Pau Gasol, who missed two weeks with an ankle injury during the All-Star break. Their core has always been the two stars on the inside, and the improvement of point guard Mike Conley has also been very obvious, with role players almost shooting and opening up space for stars to create singles opportunities.

The Grizzlies are built in a similar way to the Spurs, with the core unchanged and the role players tweaked appropriately.

From the selection of Randolph to the present, the Grizzlies have always been a strong team in the West, and in Guo Xu's previous life, Randolph, who was once called the "worst 20+10 player", has become a recognized star, even if he broke out the scandal of smoking marijuana, the Grizzlies are unwilling to trade him.

The Thunder have improved the most and are a big dark horse this year.

They made the playoffs for the first time since the name change, and the core of the trident was formed, with Tyson Chandler guarding the box and DeRozan as the sixth man. The overall strength of the Thunder is already very strong, but the tactical coordination is not good enough, and the main reason for winning is that the players rely on their individual ability to go heads-up.

The Kings finished sixth as well, and Harden has locked up the Rookie of the Year award, with no one competing with him.

Harden's rise is a testament to how important it is for newcomers to have the right system and ball control. Tyrek Evans, who was drafted by the Knicks in fifth place and started his career in New York, is averaging only 16.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game this season, which is much worse.

Several teams in the West have weakened this year, with the Lakers suffering injuries after the departures of Odom and Artest, Bogut suffering a shoulder injury in the second half of the season, and Joe Johnson also missing 25 games.

Monta Ellis landed a lot of shots as a result, putting up a career-high 25.5 points, four rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.2 steals while shooting 44.9 percent from the field, 33.8 percent from three-point range and 75.3 percent from the free throw line.

Ellis, who traded high for high scores, seemed to be on par with Kobe's, and he famously said in an interview as soon as he was excited. "The league's active quarterback Wade is number one, Joe (Johnson) is number two, and I am number three."

Yes, without Roy and without Kobe, who are those two?

Ellis is just that confident, even though the Lakers generally lose when he scores high scores, and they don't even make the playoffs in the end. That's not important, he has the impression that Kobe Bryant also has this virtue when he led the Lakers to score high points independently, he won a few more games than him, and he couldn't pass the first round of the playoffs.

It can be seen from the release of the two big players in the summer that the Lakers are actually strategically giving up this season, wanting to poach popular big-name stars to sit on the team next summer, and all they want is salary space.

Joe Johnson is a free agent when his contract expires this summer, and the Lakers will not renew him to a long-term contract with a high salary. As a result, there are only young potential players left in the summer team, only Bogut is a high-paid player, and Ellis is only on a long-term contract, with a low salary and high energy.

Joe Johnson's fate has changed, and not renewing his contract with the Lakers means that he will lose Bird's rights, and the contract he signed will no longer be as big as Guo Xu's previous life, and he can only sign for five years. Of course, he can also choose to take an appropriate salary cut to renew the Lakers, and change his role after the big-name star joins and become the team's second leader.

A star like Joe Johnson who has strength and is not popular, only a team like the Hawks who are also unpopular will be willing to pay him a high salary, the Hawks have no choice, and no top player wants to play in Atlanta.

The Lakers' number one target is LeBron James, but James may not be able to fancy the Lakers. Although Los Angeles and New York are also big markets, he doesn't like Bogut and Ellis, and his style of play is not suitable for his partner.

The 9-15 in the West are the Nuggets, Lakers, Hornets, Warriors, Clippers, Timberwolves, and Trail Blazers.

The Nuggets lost more in the second half and were overtaken by the Rockets, their lineup was flawed, and power forward Kenyon Martin couldn't withstand it as soon as he was injured. There is neither Billups nor Tylawson in the No. 1 position, and Afraro is missing in the No. 2 position, and his strength is much lower than Guo Xu's previous life.

The Nuggets mainly relied on Anthony to score, who averaged 28.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Mike Bibby, who was traded for Iverson, couldn't play, averaging only 10 points and 4 assists per game, shooting 41.6% from the field.

The Timberwolves are the biggest regression team in the West, having made the playoffs last season and have played like two teams this season. Outside core Josh Howard is reluctant to make progress after signing a high-salary long-term contract, greedy for pleasure, and his form is rapidly declining, Guy and Blake are suffering from injuries, and Al Jefferson has beautiful statistics and can't lead the team to win.

The Eastern Conference champions are again the Cavaliers, with 64 wins, and they have lost both games against the Suns. The record is too bad for the Suns, and it is difficult for James to beat Guo Xu to win the regular season MVP, and if the league lets him win the award, there will definitely be a huge controversy.

In second place in the East is the Heat, with 57 wins. After acquiring Odom and Granger, the Heat's strength has increased significantly.

Odom was outstanding, averaging 15.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 35 minutes per game while shooting 47.2 percent from the field. He didn't marry Khloe Kardashian and got a new girlfriend in Miami, most likely the reason for his strength.

The Celtics are third with just 51 wins.

The Hawks are still in fourth place with 49 wins after the injury to big man O'Neal Jr., and low-paid center Channing Frye has been a surprise surprise for the Hawks, who has been reborn with Nash, is good at catching and shooting after blocking and pick-and-roll, and can also defend the restricted area on the defensive end.

5-8 are the Magic, Raptors, Bulls, Pacers.

The Magic came in a mid-trade Carter, who was very disappointing in his performance, averaging just 16.6 points per game.

This season, the "Big Four" has been completely cool, no one plays the All-Star Game, only Carter mixes into the playoffs.

Earth's Caron Butler did not swap owners with Josh Howard, the Pacers had a lot of players in the wing rotation, and Butler was not tired of serious injuries, and his fate changed.

O'Neal helped the team reach the playoffs again, and the Pacers gave him a very easy training assignment, mainly relying on his popularity to attract fans, and he is in good form and may be able to play for two more years.

9-15 are the Bucks, Bobcats, Knicks, 76ers, Pistons, Nets, Wizards.

The 76ers are the fastest-declining team, which is great news for the Suns, as long as the 76ers don't pick a top-three pick, they can pick a high-pick rookie in the summer. The 76ers have the seventh-lowest record in the league and will need luck to finish in the top three. In Guo Xu's previous life, the 76ers were lucky to draw the list and selected Evan Turner.

After Iverson returned to Philadelphia, the 76ers could barely win, and the outside defense was useless. Iverson's presence has also affected the team's development of Jrue Holiday and Louis Williams, who has been a starter in every game.

Fans still bought it, voted for Iverson a lot of stars, and almost voted him as a starter in the East...... ()
