In April, the Suns lost another game, losing by five points to the Cavaliers.

This time, the Suns players tried their best to prevent LeBron James, who scored 41 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and shot 70% from the field, outperforming Guo Xu.

Although James' mid-to-long-range shooting is still inconsistent, this season he has honed his unique trick, which is the legendary "four-step layup".

Jammy explained that this is a kind of confusion about defenders under the rational use rule, which can be understood as a feint that no one but James will do.

Those who want to learn this trick need to have a very solid foundation of scoring under the basket, the strength of the fingers and wrists must be used properly, and they must be the league's most popular stars, otherwise they will walk.

James himself calls this kind of layup a "crab step." In the rules of basketball, you are only allowed to step on the ground for two steps for the layup, and you need to jump for the third step, and James' crab step violates this rule with a revolutionary technique.

When he goes to the basket, he usually has the habit of taking a step back, then quickly starting to dribble and break through, making a feint and then pulling the ball to jump once, and then taking two steps to use his physical advantage to change positions, and finally complete the layup, which is extremely fast like a crab moving position.

This crab step stunt caused an uproar in the league and the media, this is a special step!

However, the league turned a blind eye, and Guo Xu did not raise any doubts after the loss, he knew that it was useless to mention it. In his previous life, many people were saying that James liked to walk when he went to the basket, and the league never cared about it, and always gave him the green light, as long as the action was coherent.

It is difficult for opponents to defend against a person of James's stature, and defenders who lose their position can generally only foul to block, and his 2+1 ability is outstanding, and fouls are sometimes meaningless.

The Suns have won all of their other games, and key players have stayed healthy this season, with injuries being minor. Bale is out for four, Marion is out six, Roy is out for six and Vallejo is out for 15 games, and they haven't been injured a single one and won't let the overall strength drop too much, there are replacements.

In the end, the Suns achieved a terrifying 78-4 record in the regular season, improving the Lakers' 76-win record in 2002 by two more games, and there were two waves of ultra-long winning streaks, which is a very terrifying record.

In order to ensure the winning rate, Guo Xu's playing time in the second half increased slightly, averaging 26.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 12 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.2 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game, with a shooting rate of 49.6%, a three-point shooting rate of 43.7%, and a free throw shooting rate of 91%, almost entering the "180 Club".

Even if his overall shooting percentage is less than 50 percent, his true shooting percentage ranks third in the league at 65.1 percent. Because he averaged 9.8 three-point shots per game, three-point shots mostly lowered the overall shooting percentage. Guo Xu's shooting rate at the three-point line is very high, with an average of more than 50% from mid-distance and under the basket.

In the West, the Suns are outstanding, finishing second with the Spurs only 61 wins.

3-8 are the Jazz, Timberwolves, Lakers, Rockets, Mavericks, and Nuggets.

The Rockets had a poor record in the second half because of Yao Ming's injury and average wing defense.

The Lakers finished fifth, and their 50-win record was not very impressive, and they were in second place in the West in the early stage, but Odom's record began to decline after the injury.

The management stepped forward to adjust the relationship between Kobe and Artest, and the two did not make trouble, but did not communicate much. They are all outside players who can be selected for the best defensive team, plus Bogut's defense in the restricted area is good, the Lakers are not weak overall, if it weren't for Odom's absence for a month and a half, they could compete for the top three.

Odom has long since returned from injury, and although his form is not as good as the first 20 games, it is also bad news for the Timberwolves, and the two teams will meet in the first round.

Odom and Garnett belong to the same type of player, with well-rounded skills and mobility, and he does a good job of defending Garnett against each other, and experts predict that the Lakers have a better chance of advancing to the second round.

The Suns faced the Nuggets led by Iverson and Anthony in the first round, and this is called a series without suspense. The Nuggets' starting power forward Kenyon Martin suffered a knee injury, which led to a decline in the team's record in the second half, and the Nuggets only had one point advantage over Anthony.

9-15 in the West are the Warriors, Clippers, Kings, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, SuperSonics, Hornets.

The Warriors fell behind in the second half and failed to make the playoffs, and the Achilles' heel was the interior defense, when there was Biedrins in the previous life, the Warriors were much stronger on the inside than they are now.

Management is planning to trade Troy Murphy out in the summer, which is a data brush, he has never played in the playoffs in his career, and his one-on-one defense is a colander, and no matter who he defends, it is like a misalignment.

The Chris Paul-led Hornets are once again unfortunate to be at the bottom, with one less David West, the team is missing important scoring points, and bringing in Tyson Chandler is useless.

Chandler is a defensive blue-collar center who can only block and cut in the air on the offensive end, and can't pull out to shoot. The Hornets don't have the inside to open up space for shooting, and it will be more difficult for Paul to break through, and the scoring efficiency and shooting percentage are not high.

The biggest hit was the Hornets' star Peja Stojakovic, who played just 13 games before being reimbursed due to injury, and this was only the first year of his big contract, and it seemed inevitable that he would be reduced to a garbage contract.

Paul led a group of blue-collar teammates and didn't even have a second scorer, and JR Smith, who could play a role, was sent away because of a conflict with coach Byron Scott. Scott led the team to the bottom of the team for two consecutive seasons, completing his mission, and was fired as soon as the regular season ended.

The hapless Paul worked hard to get into the Western Conference finals in his previous life, and he has to work hard for the playoffs in this life, and if he doesn't have a star who is suitable for blocking and dismantling as a teammate, he doesn't know when he will come out.

First place in the East is the Cavaliers, with only 58 wins. The Cavaliers mainly rely on the trident of Ilgoskas, Boozer, and James, all of whom are frontcourt players, and the guard is very weak. Defensively, the Cavaliers also have weaknesses, and with a slow-paced positional style of play, they rarely beat their opponents by a wide margin.

2-8 are Pistons, Hawks, Nets, Wizards, Bulls, Heat, Magic.

The Magic caught the last train of the playoffs, thanks to the Pacers' injury troubles, and if O'Neal Jr. can play, he won't even be unable to make the playoffs.

The Magic is very strong on the inside, and the front line is also good, but the flaw is the No. 1 position, Francis has not been able to trade out, and the contract is a huge mess and no one has taken over. He played in only 44 games this season, scoring 11.7 points and 4 assists, shooting 40% from the field and 37.8% from three-point range.

Francis is not qualified as a role player, but the annual salary is the highest in the Magic, reaching 15 million.

9-15 are the Pacers, 76ers, Raptors, Bobcats, Bucks, Knicks, Celtics.

Pierce missed half of the game with an injury, and the Green Army had little defense on the inside, and the summer was about to start rebuilding. Chinese fans are more familiar with the Green Army, because CCTV5 often broadcasts their games live, even if Wang Zhizhi has become a fringe person.

It's not that the Green Army didn't think about trading Wang Zhizhi, but if the trade can't go out, his role is to attack and open up space. His defense is very poor, he can't carry people in the penalty area, and he is slow to block and move sideways.

Kobe Bryant successfully won the regular season scoring title, averaging 30.2 points per game, and averaging 30+ per game in a single season for the third time in his career.

The rebounding champion was won by Garnett, averaging 12.8 per game.

The assist king is Guo Xu, who averages 12 per game and slightly beats Nash, who is slightly better than 11.6.

The block king was won by Nuggets center Marcus Camby, averaging 3.3 per game.

The easiest steal king to get this year, the Warriors' Byron Davis averaged 2.1 per game, which is the first in the league.

All teams have two days off and the playoffs will begin on April 21......
