The second game of the Suns vs. Lakers continues to be played in Phoenix.

Phil Jackson made targeted arrangements, and the players reduced the rhythm of offense and defense conversion, ensured the speed of return to defense, kept polishing the position, so that the Suns could not make smooth running and bomb attacks. They used joint defense and rotation defense to double-team Guo Xu, allowing others to shoot.

The fewer offensive rounds will indeed make the Suns score less. However, the Suns' defense is not bad. They adopt similar strategies to strictly prevent the OK combination near the penalty area and put other people to shoot, so the Lakers score fewer points.

One of the Lakers' obvious weaknesses is the lack of three-point shooting points. When George and Payton were completely silent outside the three-point line, the Lakers could only rely on Fisher and Kobe to shoot three-pointers. However, Fisher didn't play much, and Kobe prefers to play with the ball near the penalty area and play with the ball.

O'Neal, Kobe's scrambled to score at the low post was quite fierce, a collision of muscles and a competition of souls.

Ma Long went out to cover his teammates with a tactful look, waited for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot at a high position, and completely gave up the strong attack on the penalty area.

The Lakers competed for positions and the Suns' defenders only gathered a table of mahjong. When Malone went to the low post, he would play enough...

In the second half, Diop did a good job of defending O'Neal alone when he appeared. Kobe was entangled by the three major swingers, all of whom were facing each other. The Lakers' offensive efficiency was too low.

No one is perfect, Guo Xu, who is leveling up three times in the time loop, is no exception.

He became a blacksmith in this game, making 5 of 15 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 16 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. Fortunately, Guo Xu will adjust, reduce his shots, and will not become an undercover even if he hits 10 times. If he doesn't shoot correctly, he will mainly break through, attracting defensive passes to assist his teammates.

If a player still makes a lot of shots, it will be difficult to win. In this game, Kobe played 47 minutes, made 11 of 27 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 turnovers.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe left a famous saying when evaluating Delon Williams. "Compared to 0 of 9 shots, I would rather make 0 of 30 shots. If you don't make 9 shots, you won't make 9 shots, which means you are defeated by yourself. And I will continue to make till I make it, and I will never lose confidence in myself at any time."

Since 2002, Kobe's "fareless" mentality has become increasingly obvious. Today he has defeated himself again, defeated his teammates and the Lakers, and lost to the Suns.

O'Neal made 5 of 9 shots in the game, 2 of 6 free throws, scoring only 12 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. The league's recognized number one killer was actually defended and shot less than 10 goals.

O'Neal couldn't pass the ball with his back. He watched Kobe take the ball to the other side's low post again and again, turned around and jumped back, and then he could grab the rebound.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson didn't even call the timeout, letting the players adjust themselves on the court. He knew that he could not control Kobe anymore, and it was useless to call, and the other party would not listen.

People with 40% hit rate and people with 60% hit rate compete for the ball. This is caused by the low ball quotient? In the locker room, Kobe did not talk to Malone and O'Neal. He just didn't want to pass, and wanted to prove that he could win by relying on his personal ability.

Whether the media or fans, when evaluating the players of both teams, they said that Kobe was not as good as Guo Xu, which deeply stimulated him. In this game, Kobe wanted to get better data than Guo Xu, which was as important as leading the team to win independently.

The Suns beat the Lakers 93-78 in the final game, leading 2-0 in the total score.

Although he lost even worse on the court, the Lakers players were still fighting hard, and the group of people played together. After losing this game, everyone was too lazy to talk except Kobe, who had no desire to win.

At the press conference, O'Neal's way of answering questions became the same as Joe Johnson, jumping out one word at a time, and Payton and Malone were also interviewed by him.

Phil Jackson bluntly said that there were people in the team that were too selfish to make the team unable to cooperate, and said that the Suns were a better team.

The series is still in progress, and the coach said this kind of thing, which hurts morale, but Jackson has no scruples. He saw through the Lakers' impossible to eliminate the Suns. Even if the players feel bad, Suns players can still play according to the tactics arranged by the coach and will not do anything randomly. The division of labor on the court has always been clear.

How can a team like the Lakers beat the Suns who are united in their own games and score all by fighting in one-on-one?

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Lakers lost to the Pistons. Even if the "Eagle County Incident" did not happen, Kobe's personality would not change. He wanted to be the boss and the strongest player in the NBA. He was even more unique and wanted to take on more tasks because he didn't have to fly to Colorado to appear in court and was full of energy.

What you envy is what you want.

What you say is jealous is what you want but can’t get.

Jealousy has allowed Kobe to go on the evil path step by step...

Of course, the media will not say anything good about Kobe when reporting the game. Someone has already proposed Kobe's "cancer" theory on the Internet. No matter from any perspective, Kobe is not like the core. Jordan looks unique, but he can win.

The popularity of this series has dropped a few points, and fans don’t think the Lakers can reverse and advance. Everyone online has begun to discuss how the Lakers will break up in the summer.

After this game, all the NBA regular season awards were announced, and the most popular prize is naturally the MVP.

Guo Xu defeated Garnett and successfully won the game again. He set three new records of the top scorer this season, and became the first player in NBA history to be elected MVP with unanimous votes.

The league's best record, best data, and a horrible age of less than 23 years old. Everyone thinks it is unreasonable not to vote for Guo Xu, and it is not normal for others to get a vote, even if that person is Garnett, who has the peak data of his career.

Guo Xu's performance is comparable to several NBA celebrities. Even if he retires after playing this season, the honors he has won are enough to be admitted to the Hall of Fame. He will receive the award before the home game begins. It is definitely not possible to say a few simple thoughts. Even if he wants to do this, the Suns management and the media will not agree.

Before heading to Los Angeles, Guo Xu held a grand press conference at the American Airlines Arena, showing off the MVP trophy and accepting interviews from reporters from all parties.

Guo Xu talked about his thoughts: "I know many people find this unbelievable, but I was mentally prepared to receive the award after playing the regular season. I just didn't expect that I would pass the vote unanimously. The players who won the MVP grand prizes in the past are all legendary figures and all household names. I'm very happy that I am also a member of the legend now."

His opening remarks created big news, and he won the MVP for the age of 22, and even said bluntly that "I am a legend", which has never been seen in NBA history.

But what Guo Xu said is the truth, otherwise reporters from all over the world would not have rushed to Phoenix to interview him today. In the first four seasons of his career, he deserves the adjective "legend" than anyone else.

Next, Guo Xu thanked his teammates, coaches, management, family, friends and thanked all the people related to him.

He also thanked the sponsors and said that he would be happy as soon as he made more money and would perform better as soon as he was happy.

He also thanked the gods for giving him super talent and was lucky enough to have not suffered major injuries in four seasons.
