Sanders called a timeout, adjusted his style of play, and emphasized offense.

Kassel's single-handedness against Guo Xu is an advantageous point, Guo Xu is not good at defending people who are good at back-to-back attacks, he will not grow taller anymore, but this flaw also makes him look greater.

But if Kassel directly holds the ball and goes head-to-head, the Timberwolves' offense will become simpler, and the other four will become spectators. Kassel does not attack, his teammates have no obvious physical advantage, and the heads-up shooting rate is not high.

At the end of the day, the Timberwolves lack a star who can dominate on the offensive end, so the starters can only take turns shooting.

The Suns led 37-23 in the first quarter, with all five of the starting five scoring and Haslem off the bench scoring four points.

Guo Xu made 2 of 3 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 5 points and 9 assists in the first quarter; Cassel shot 4-of-6 for 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter.

The Suns scored the most with Stoudamire with 13 points and two rebounds on 6-of-8 shooting and 1-of-2 free throws.

Junior Howard shot 4-of-5 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line in the first quarter to finish with 10 points and 2 rebounds. As long as Kassel is the main defense of him, Guo Xu will say that he trusts Howard very much, although this teammate is not yet famous.

The Timberwolves' "madmen" Sprewell and Szebiak also played well, scoring 5 and 6 points respectively.

It was Garnett who was disappointed, with 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 1-of-5 shooting. The "Wolf King" played the same style as usual, the jump shot was difficult to block, but the first quarter was not good.

Both sides fielded benches in the first half of the second quarter, with the Timberwolves having the upper hand.

"Little Maniac" Hudson had a convulsion, and he was the kind of speedy point guard that Payton hated. He's just an average guard most of the time, with inconsistent shooting and an overall shooting percentage of around 40 percent, but he occasionally draws like a star and can score back-to-back points.

The Timberwolves also signed a problematic player in the summer, former Rockets power forward Eddie Griffin, who is good as long as he doesn't smoke marijuana or drink heavily, and he can go inside and out on the offensive end, scoring five points, pulling out to cover and catching the ball and shooting a three-pointer.

In the second half, as soon as Guo Xu and Xiao Si returned, the Suns had the upper hand and strengthened the team's offense.

Garnett can play alongside Griffin to open up space for defenders, but the penalty area will be a little less defensive.

Griffin is a tall, thin and tall forward with a height of 208cm and a weight of 100 kg. Garnett went out to defend the pick-and-roll, but Griffin couldn't withstand the strong attacks of Nene and Xiaosi.

Signing Griffin was a gamble for the Timberwolves, who had no salary space and couldn't sign big names.

Griffin spent a year in a rehab center, missing the 2003-04 season. It's been a surprise that he's done well on offense since his comeback this season, and the coaching staff can't force him to do more.

Sanders replaced "Mad Dog" Mark Madsen, and the Timberwolves' offense was not good again, this man could only stand near the restricted area and wait to pick up the leak, pull it out and be released casually.

In this quarter, Guo Xu scored 2 points and 5 assists in 6 minutes, did not shoot three points, all breakthroughs and points, and scored 7 points and 14 assists in the half, with more assists than points.

The two sides tied 29 in the first quarter, with a total score of 66-52.

In the third quarter, the Suns began to use the inside double tower and double cover tactics, and Marion, Joe Johnson, and Guo Xu partnered on the outside.

The Suns have a lot of people playing, and the players are physically active, there is no pressure to play 35 minutes, and Howard, who is in excellent condition, can only sit on the court, and today Bell became a fringe man, playing 6 minutes in the second quarter.

The Suns locker room won't get into trouble because Bale has signed a long-term contract and he doesn't have the ambition and quality to become a star.

Joe Johnson is in charge of organizing, Guo Xu is looking for a no-ball cover to run to create opportunities, the opponent's big man is slow to change defense, he shoots directly, and when he changes defense, he holds the ball to break through to attract defense, and distributes the ball to his teammates inside to impact the penalty area.

This tactic is a nightmare for the Timberwolves players, who couldn't break it in the playoffs last season, losing four games in a row and going home fishing. Now the Timberwolves still can't defend themselves, because the big man can resist only one Olawokandi.

Garnett is excellent in both individual defense, but the defense at the No. 1 and No. 5 positions has always been his weak point.

The lateral movement speed of "Sugar Man" is too slow, Madsen is too familiar with Guo Xu, the two have practiced together in the Lakers for two years, and he knows what Madsen eats and what style of play he is afraid of. As long as these two people play, they are being played.

Guo Xu played the whole quarter, scoring 8 points and 7 assists, and the data reached 15 points and 21 assists in the third quarter.

The Timberwolves offense was not bad, Garnett shot 3 of 3 in the single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, cut 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and led the team to 31 points. The Suns scored 33 points as a team and led 99-83 in the third quarter.

The difference of 16 points between the two teams still has to play, but this is not necessarily a good thing for the Timberwolves, because Guo Xu intends to impact the record of 30+ assists in a single game, and he especially likes statistics.

As a point guard, he has more assists to prove his dominance, and he seems to be very selfless.

Guo Xu no longer pursues 30+10 this season and challenges two data kings, his goal is clear, which is to create a single-season average assists per game record. Because he knows that his teammates are strong and the assists are good.

John Stockton played in 78 regular-season games in 1989-90 and averaged 14.5 assists per game, the most in NBA history. It is worth mentioning that the second-highest all-time ranking is still Stockton, who averaged 14.2 assists per game in the 1990-91 season.

The league's all-time record for total assists in a single season was also set by Stockton, who dished out 1,164 assists in the '90-91 season.

Stockton has a career total of 15,806 assists, which ranks first in NBA history, which is a terrifying statistic. In Guo Xu's previous life, Kidd, who was second in history, was 3,715 times less.

There is no doubt that these records of Stockton are difficult to break, but now Guo Xu has a chance to challenge them.

If a star wants to get super data, there must be several conditions, and the important point is that the difference in strength between the two sides should not be too big, if it is against the bottom weak team, the Suns may be spent in the half, unless the star garbage time to brush up to play good data.

In addition, the opponent must have defensive weaknesses to facilitate the star to play, otherwise there will be no good data if he is restricted.

There are not many teams in the NBA that can meet Guo Xu's conditions, and the Timberwolves happen to be this kind of embarrassing team that can't be high or low.

Guo Xu continued to play in the last quarter, and the other four were Howard, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Né.

Xiao Si went down to rest for a while, Nene only played an average of 23 minutes per game, and only played 18 minutes today, so he was full of energy.

The Suns attacked first, and the main defender of Guo Xu was Trenton Hassel. At this time, the "madman" went down to rest, and usually the Timberwolves will send the veteran Hojberg to add a three-point shooting point in the final quarter, so as to ensure the offense and have a better chance of winning.

But now Sanders is afraid, rather than winning, he hopes that the players will prevent Guo Xu, so that he can't play super data, and he will admit to losing.

Guo Xu received the ball to attract Garnett's defense and quickly moved sideways to get the space to pass the ball, and passed to Howard, who was running on the right side, who received the ball and made a 50-degree emergency stop jump shot, and dodged Kassel to block the ball by relying on his physical advantage.

101-83, Guo Xu's 22nd assist.

The Timberwolves attacked, Garnett singled out Marion, turned around and shot a basketball. 101 to 85.

When playing small-ball tactics, Nene is responsible for defending Olavokandi, and Marion is responsible for defending Garnett's height, but D'Antoni does not arrange a bag, they are just to create misplaced opportunities just for a better attack, and Garnett plays alone.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu first played a block and dismantle in the middle, and then distributed the ball to Howard in the low post on the right side, who received the ball and turned around to shoot and hit Kassel.

103-85, Guo Xu's 23rd assist...... (https:)
