Heading into November, the Suns lost four games and finished second in the West behind the 15-2 Spurs. Guo Xu won the Western Conference Player of the Month with luxurious data, and he is still the brightest star in the league.

After Xiao Si left, Guo Xu took on more scoring tasks, and is expected to win both the scoring and assist titles this season. This style of play is more attractive to fans, and many pot secrets don't care about the Suns losing, they like to watch their idols play luxury statistics.

The only fly in the ointment is that D'Antoni arranges Guo Xu's playing time too shortly, and he always controls it within 35 minutes per game.

The Suns lost to the Spurs, Magic, Warriors, and Thunder. It's not a shock, these are playoff powerhouses.

After the departure of two big players, the strength of the Suns is indeed a little weaker than last season. Smalls and Millsap both played star stats on their new teams, which means that there are two less All-Stars, and it is impossible not to be affected.

Gasol Jr. and Ibaka's offensive ability is inferior, especially the offensive ability with the ball cannot be compared with Xiaosi, and the advantage is that the defensive end is more desperate.

The Suns lost the most game to the Warriors by 14 points. The Warriors are currently ranked fourth in the West, with a combination of inside and outside, and a balanced offense and defense.

Bynum and Monroe can both complete the task of attacking the restricted area, and the shooting percentage is very high, and the contribution at the No. 5 position adds up to superstar statistics.

Kobe Bryant reduced the offensive proportion of low-post back play, and changed to a breakthrough and mid-range shot.

Curry and Redick are mainly active on the perimeter, catching and shooting. Curry plays mostly without the ball, occasionally misplaced breakaways.

Rohrdeng also started shooting three-pointers, focusing most of his energy on the defensive end. He averaged just 13.8 points in 35 minutes per game, making 1.4 three-pointers per game and shooting 34.5 percent from the field. His three-point shooting percentage is qualified, and he is more efficient than playing a two-point shot.

Curry is imitating Guo Xu's style of play, relying on the cover to run to catch the ball This move is not easy to defend, Guo Xu is only 183CM tall, and he can't block it if he jumps slowly, and his teammates must change the defensive gear. In this way, the interior players have to defend more outside, and after Curry attracts Ibaka, Gasol Jr.'s weakness of slow movement will be caught.

Curry is better than himself at the same time as the four Earths, he imitated Guo Xu in college, played the ball quickly, and played more maturely.

Gasol Jr. also has a headache for Bynum's type of center, who has the power and is faster than him, and falls behind one-on-one.

Bryant's stats have dropped this season, averaging only 25 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, but his playing time has also dropped to just 34.2 minutes, which is a good efficiency.

When the ball is not concentrated in one person's hands, the ball moves very fast and it is easier to create easy shots.

Bryant averaged 19.7 shots per game, a new low in the past seven seasons, and he became selfless. And Kobe Bryant is also very the defensive end, he can't afford to lose anymore, and if he loses, his popularity will be gone.

On December 8, the Suns lost to the Grizzlies at home, losing Game 5.

On December 16, the Suns lost again at home to the Thunder, losing Game 6.

The Suns' record has slipped significantly. The management has no requirements for results, and the mentality of the players is more relaxed, and the hard work is not as good as in the previous two seasons. The key to last season was that the two contract years were very desperate to get a good evaluation and get a high salary.

The poor play is not that the atmosphere in the team is active, Guo Xu's "brother basketball" is too much, and it is not that he was prevented by his two girlfriends, the main reason is that the Sun lineup has weaknesses.

Both centers are slow-moving meat shields, and Gortat doesn't play much time and doesn't dominate. The swingman position let go of Korver and Moreau, and his three-point shooting percentage was not as good as last season.

In addition, the league began to suppress the Suns on the scale of blowing penalties, and did not want them to play another 70+ victory.

On December 25, the Suns will play the Thunder again on Christmas Day.

There is no need for the coaching staff to boost morale in this game, and the Suns players know that they can't lose again, and they won't be able to get over it if they lose again.

In the regular season, the league must play 4 games in the same division, 2 home and away games, for a total of 16 games; One home and one away game from different leagues, for a total of 30 games; 3-4 games are played in different divisions of the same league, and home and away games are randomly selected, and the team has 41 home and away games in the regular season.

The Suns and Thunder played only three games in the regular season this year, and one more loss was swept, and while that doesn't affect the final result of the playoffs, no one as the defending champion wants to be swept by an opponent in the regular season.

The Thunder are also determined to win this game and want to boost morale by sweeping the Suns.

The reason for the Thunder's first two wins was that core Durant exploded, and Jason Richardson and Grant Hill were both unsuccessful in defending him.

Before the start of the game, the media predicted: "Durant's continued growth has given the Thunder the confidence to compete with the Suns." ”

Durant has averaged 20 points to 25 points to 30 points per game and rebounds from 4.4 to 6.5 to 7.6 in three seasons.

In addition, he seized the opportunity to make a name for himself in Turkey.

In the group stage, Coach K consciously retained his strength, Durant's data was just average, and after entering the knockout round, Durant turned on the scoring champion mode and was invincible.

In an official NBA survey this season, 19 of the league's 28 team general managers believe Durant will win the 2010-11 regular season MVP. The Thunder currently have the second-best record in the West, with one more win than the Suns.

There were some changes to the Thunder's tactics, and Durant began to try to play a new position, playing as a power forward in the game. When Tyson Chandler is off the bench, they can also launch a fast break.

They fight small-ball tactics with the Suns, relying on Horford to play center and Durant to play power forward, so the overall speed is very fast and the defense is not bad.

This season, Durant averaged 28 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 49.6% from the field, which is more accurate. As his teammates improve, he gets better shots.

Now it is Durant and Guo Xu who are competing for the scoring title, Guo Xu only averaged 33.6 minutes per game because of the short time he played, and he was slightly inferior to 27.4 points. However, Guo Xu still has 11.6 assists, ranking first in the league, and this Durant can't compare.

Durant was very low-key in his pre-game interview, saying that the goal is only to lead the team through the first round of the playoffs. When reporters said he was a strong contender for MVP, he laughed and didn't say anything.

At this point, no one knew that MVP wasn't his goal, he just wanted Scarlett Johansson's bathwater.

Hornets management is now depressed to death, and they missed out on Durant to pick a glass man, parallel import. Owner George Sean is no longer playing, and he has been trying to sell the team because many people were worried about the league shutdown in 2011.

The most amazing thing is that the NBA official has taken over the operation of the Hornets from Sean's hands, and the league controls and manages a team, which is also a precedent for the NBA.

That's not necessarily a good thing for New Orleans fans. Previously, MLB temporarily took over the Montreal Fair team, but soon MLB sold the team and moved the team to Washington, D.C., and changed its name to the Washington Nationals.

As things stand, the NBA is likely to follow MLB's lead, as the league is not happy with New Orleans' home stadium, with the Hornets only ranking 27th in home attendance this season.

According to the agreement, if the team does not average 14,213 attendance in 13 home games from Dec. 1 to Jan. 17, the Hornets will have the right to terminate the agreement with Louisiana and move out of New Orleans.

Due to the team's current precarious situation, it is believed that Chris Paul will definitely leave the team after becoming a free agent next year.
