The next game for the Suns is away against the Spurs, which is even more eye-catching.

Guo Xu and Duncan have both played luxurious data many times this season. In fact, 40+20 is more difficult than scoring 60 points, while 40 points and 20 assists are also difficult to score 40 points and 20 rebounds.

This game did not disappoint the fans. It was full of twists and turns and was extremely exciting. The Suns defeated the strong rival Spurs 104-97 away.

Guo Xu beat Tony Parker hard. He played 44 minutes in the game, made 12 of 14 shots, 6 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 35 points, 3 rebounds and 13 assists. Under his leadership, the Suns' five players scored in double digits.

He was in two consecutive games, which made people exclaim, "Are you wrong?" He made 9 of 9 shots in the first three quarters. If he made fewer shots in the last quarter, he would have a perfect shooting percentage, but the team has been unable to open the score and needs him to take action.

Sophomore Parker made 6 of 13 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, scored 13 points and 9 assists, and his data was not bad, but his performance outside the three-point line was too bad.

The Spurs performed worse than Parker, which was the scoring guard Stephen Jackson, who made 1 of 9 three-pointers, made 3 of 15 shots in the game, and scored 12 points and 4 rebounds with free throws.

If double-teams are not adopted, Suns players cannot defend against Duncan, just like the Spurs must double-team Guo Xu.

Duncan also played for 44 minutes, making 14 of 18 shots, 7 of 9 free throws, scoring 35 points, 21 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. If the Spurs hadn't made 3 of 26 three-pointers, the Suns would definitely not have won.

If the outside teammates make a few open three-pointers, Duncan will not be double-teamed frequently. He should be able to score a terrifying triple-double of 40+20+10, which is enough to be recorded in history.

Duncan's skills are all regular inside moves, and his basic skills are very solid. He can play singles on both sides of the left and right sides, and his opponents do not double-team, so his scoring efficiency is very high.

O'Neal only obeyed two people, one was Hakem Olajuwon and the other was Tim Duncan. When the team competed, they basically defended one-on-one. In Guo Xu's previous life, Duncan's peak was longer, and O'Neal's peak was more dazzling. The two people's strength was basically the same, and no one could defend against each other.

After a day off, the Suns defeated the Kings 115 to 84 at home, suppressing two important Western competitors one after another.

Marion made 11 of 18 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Guo Xu felt bad, with 1 of 6 three-pointers, but he also scored 22 points, 8 assists and 3 steals through the breakthrough.

Kings core Chris Webber made 11 of 29 shots, scored 22 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. He only looked at the data, and then looked at the shooting percentage was only 37.9%. He was in poor form after returning from injury, and was not sure whether he played singles with Sir and Nene. He wanted to abuse like Duncan, but he ended up being embarrassed.

The peak Webber's style of playing is like a small forward, and it is the way James organizes a forward. He has more jump shots and often makes bad things if he doesn't have a short shot. His scoring efficiency is not very high.

Kings fans gradually dislike Weber because he was unable to lead the team to win the championship and always lost track at critical moments. Some people think he is a little overrated and is suspected of flashing data when he is healthy.

Just like the game in 2001 when Weber's career peaked in data, he scored 51 points, 26 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. The data was scary. But fans just checked his shots in that game and found that he had made 47 shots.

What does it mean to score 51 points in 47 shots in a game? "Admiral" Robinson made 71 points in 41 shots and was once squirted, and Kobe scored 81 points in 46 shots. Moreover, the Kings also lost to the Pacers in overtime. The Kings only scored 2 points in overtime, and Weber made 0 of 5 shots and was completely invisible.

In the game that day, the Mavericks lost 100 to 107 to the Supersonics, with a record of 48 wins and 16 losses, and only led by 46 wins and 18 losses to the Suns.

Mavericks center Lafrenz has returned and has played conservatively for only 12 minutes. When no one in the interior is available, the Mavericks also play small ball tactics like the Suns. For a while, Nahura, who is 203cm in the middle, was the center, and they could not defend themselves at all in the interior.

After the mid-term trading, the Supersonics formed Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis's two-shot outside guns. Both of them are players with comprehensive skills and can shoot three-pointers, and the Mavericks can't defend themselves.

With 18 games left in the season, most teams began to play badly, the Western Conference Final Four record was close, the 6-10 record was also close, and the competition was intensified.

The Rockets were the first to withdraw from the playoffs. The famous coach Tom Janovic was diagnosed with bladder cancer and could only miss the game to treat the disease. Since then, the Rockets have lost consecutive games.

Larry Smith, the interim assistant coach, distrusts the young Yao Ming and starts to reuse Kato. Smith believes that the center should be as strong as O'Neal, and is in a turbulent inside, rather than a jump shot.

Of course, Kato's shot like shit could not help the defender open up space. After losing, Smith continued to treat Kato as his father. Instead, he often scolded Yao Ming in the locker room, believing that his style of play was too soft and could not complete the tactics he arranged.

The black fat man Smith was an excellent center in the NBA back then, nicknamed "The Wicked". He had a stubborn mind and knew how to dominate the basket at both offense and defense. In Guo Xu's previous life, he quickly left the NBA and became a coach in the Development League.

Smith not only ruined the Rockets, but also caused internal strife. Once when he accused Yao Ming, Francis stood up and yelled: "You know how to blame others! All of this is caused by you! Yao Ming was performing very well, and we performed very well. You messed up all this! Everyone will fight as I say in the future, don't listen to him talking nonsense!"

Unfortunately, it is impossible for the player to really play as Francis said...

In the final stage, the Suns' shortcomings began to emerge. The rookies' performance was unstable and their pressure resistance was insufficient. Guo Xu, Marion and Kukochi became the key, helping the team to thrillingly compete for three overtime games.

The most exciting thing is the match against the Supersonics. Both sides drew in overtime. Guo Xu quickly counterattacked in the last 5 seconds and attracted double teams and passed the ball. Kukochi scored a buzzer-beating three-pointer.

By luck, the Suns lost five games in the last 18 games, with a record of 59 wins and 23 losses ending the regular season. The Spurs and Mavericks, who were 60 wins, won the second place in the Western Conference.

Currently, there are only four divisions in the NBA. After the Bobcats joined in 2004, the team became 30 divisions, and only six divisions were changed.

The Western Conference and Eastern Conference teams only play two games in the regular season, and they have to play four games in the same division. In the West, they draw opponents in different divisions to play three or four games, and the Suns will benefit from the schedule.

There are seven teams in the Pacific Division, and the other six are Lakers, Clippers, Trail Blazers, Supersonics, Warriors, and Kings.

This area includes the Kings who are suffering from injuries. All opponents have weakened to varying degrees during the season. Three teams are outside the playoffs. The Suns only Kukochi was injured for two months, which is relatively lucky.

Looking at the central division, only the Nuggets are playing bad teams, including the Grizzlies, Jazz, Rockets, Timberwolves, Spurs, and Mavericks, all who compete for playoff spots, and they almost played brains.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the competition in the western region was not so fierce. The butterfly effect caused the Grizzlies to rise early. They suppressed the Jazz and were not afraid of the Lakers at all.

According to the rules, the Suns are the division champion, and they are ranked second if they win one more game than the King, and the latter ranks fourth.

The most unlucky team was the Mavericks, who led the record list for nearly the whole season and lost to the Spurs for the second to last game. When the record was flat, they fell to third place because the Spurs played the Mavericks 3-1 in the regular season.
