On the 14th, the Suns challenged the Nets away.

This is the focus of this round, espn live broadcast across the United States. When arranging the schedule, the Nets are generally optimistic about the Eastern Conference.

Facts have proved that the experts' vision is always unreliable. The Nets started with 3 wins and 3 losses, but did not show the temperament of a strong team in half. They played overtime against the weak Bobcats before winning.

The Nets' Trident Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson, and Vince Carter have strong attack power. Costic is also a big man who can open mid-range shots and has skills, but the Nets' defense is too poor, especially the inside defense.

The Nets have always lacked good centers, otherwise they would not have signed Alonzo Mourning, who had serious kidney disease risks, and Jason Collins lacked height. Costic's confrontation was poor. Clifford Robinson, who was 39 years old this year, is not far from retirement.

The overall defense of the Nets' outside line has also become worse.

Carter's defense has always been criticized. Although he is not a black hole, his defense is only at medium level, which is seriously inconsistent with his physical fitness. Many people believe that he can do better, but not concentrate enough.

Jefferson's defense is at an upper-middle level, but he is not an expert.

The most powerful decline in the defensive end is Kidd, who was selected into the best defensive team several times. He has outstanding defensive awareness and is now very good at anti-swingers. He is not afraid of misalignment when encountering pick-and-rolls. However, his speed dropped a lot after minimally invasive surgery. He could not keep up with the speed point guard last season and was easily overwhelmed by the frame.

Before the game, Kidd gave in and admitted that he could not defend Guo Xu. The reason he said this was because the media yelled that he was too ruthless, and that he wanted to put him on the fire and roast him.

Last season, Kidd only played 65 games and was selected for the second team of the All-Defensive Team without entering the playoffs. Because the first team defender Larry Hughes is recognized as a parallel product, many people online say Kidd is the point guard who is most likely to limit Guo Xu.

To limit yourself, the person Kidd is the one who is most unwilling to match is Guo Xu, who is his nemesis.

When Guo Xu was still in the Lakers, he could make Kidd's head bigger when playing against the Nets in the 2002 Finals. As a 193cm heavy guard with a weight of 93kg, bypassing the screen and not chasing and defending quickly has always been Kidd's weakness.

When he encounters pick-and-roll, he often switches big men to defend, which can interfere with shooting, and can also delay the opponent's empty cutting speed through close combat. When he faces Guo Xu, he can only delay without delay.

As for Kidd being selected for the best defensive team last season, it's nothing strange. He may still be selected this season and next season. Because he has now begun to be called "Ki No Attack". How can he get through if he doesn't swear to defend? The league doesn't want the stars to slide too fast, and he needs to maintain his popularity and commercial value and attract fans.

After the game started, Guo Xu immediately tragically destroyed Kidd. A one-on-one fight was an opportunity and there was no need for cover.

In the time loop, Guo Xu was completely familiar with Kidd's playing rhythm. No matter how good the defense consciousness was, it was useless. He relied on his body to eat.

Guo Xu only has two tricks to fight Kidd, which is simple and effective.

He dribbled under the crotch outside the three-point line, Kidd broke through, and stepped back a little, and then took a three-pointer to take a step back and jumped. Kidd's bounce speed was too late to block, so he could only go forward and try his best to interfere.

If Kidd gets closer, then after that, Guo Xu dribbles the ball under his crotch and changes direction, and he can pass by one step. Kidd's horizontal movement speed cannot keep up, even if he predicts what movement he will do, it will be useless, and he will always be half a beat slower.

Not only to prevent Guo Xu from being in trouble, Kidd will also be defeated when facing Iverson, TJ Ford will also be defeated. This is a thing that will reduce one thing. Kidd is now doing better when he is defending Kobe and Ray Allen.

Guo Xu scored 13 points in a short while after a fight with Kidd, hit three three-pointers, broke through and layups in two counterattacks, and also broke through to attract double teams and assisted David Lee to make a mid-range shot.

When the net team saw that it was not good, they could only double-team. Guo Xu liked to go to the weak side and passed the ball. Bale scored three three-pointers in a single quarter.

The Suns led by 9 points 42 to 33 in the first quarter, and Guo Xu scored 21 points and 4 assists. It was obvious that he wanted to get super data again.

Not only is Guo Xu unstoppable offense, he also has excellent single defense on the defensive end. Kidd, who he defends, cannot break through, made 0 of 2 shots, no point in a single quarter, and gave 4 assists.

The Nets' overall offense is not bad, and the score difference is not widened. Carter has an advantage against Bale, Jefferson has a good match against Payton, and the offensive firepower is guaranteed.

Costic cannot play Valaijo alone, so he can pull out to cover the ball and help the outside players attack the basket.

The only offensive weakness of the Nets is Collins. He is just a fake. He has no attack power and can only attract defense near the penalty area on the offensive end. He tries to grab the rebounds in the frontcourt, but he can't get back to defense. He can't play pick-and-roll cooperation well. His figure is average in blocking people, and the periphery will be empty. He cuts into the penalty area and receives the pass. Any swinger can defend him.

The Suns coaching staff did not care about defense and insisted on letting David Lee focus on training. In the second half of the first quarter, Valaijo was replaced and Haslem was sent, and David Lee was not out of the game.

The Suns are ready to play like this throughout the regular season, in order to help David Lee build confidence as soon as possible, and to help the team more offensively on the playoffs. No matter how poor the defense is, D'Antoni is optimistic about David Lee because he can attack like Sir.

First there was Bole and then there was a Thousand-mile horse. There were often thousands of horses, but Bole was not often. D'Antoni was David Lee's Bole. In addition to being good at attacking with point guard as the core, he was also good at quickly turning an inside player with excellent health into a "cake king".

David Lee's speed can participate in fast attacks, is suitable for pick-and-roll, can stand in the middle and catch the ball and score mid-range shots, and can also cut the ball at the empty and strong attack at the basket.

The price of spending time cultivating David Lee is that he has defensive flaws and is easily caught by the opponent and the score difference cannot be easily widened. Guo Xu needs this.

The substitutes of both sides tied with the Suns, led by Howard, and the others were blue-collar; the substitutes of the Nets were also similar, led by Jefferson, and the others were ordinary.

When Guo Xu came back, it was Kidd's nightmare time again. He couldn't defend himself alone, and his teammates couldn't defend him even more. He had a free time when he doubled his teammates.

On the other hand, the Nets did not attract stars with particularly strong double-teaming skills. Jefferson scored mainly by breakthroughs and mid-range shots. When Carter made three-point shooting points on the periphery, Bale, Ariza, and Howard just wrapped him around. If Carter also attacked with the ball, it would overlap with Jefferson.

The Suns' ball rights are easy to allocate. Guo Xu's single core and the ball is handed over to him. He has no chance to shoot and then pass the ball.

The Suns have always taken the initiative, and Guo Xu mainly scored in his own right, attacking as fiercely as in the last game.

Guo Xu scored 20+ in the first quarter and the last quarter, leading the Suns to win 134-110.

He played for 42 minutes, made 24 of 42 shots, 10 of 23 three-pointers, 12 of 13 free throws, scored 70 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, almost winning the terrifying 70+10.

Kidd scored only 8 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists, with only 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers and 1 of 2 free throws.

Due to Guo Xu's reasons, the NBA's best defensive team is not so good. It is difficult for the league to find a point guard who has not been beaten by him. It is probably controversial who chooses.

Guo Xu didn't know at this time that he might be able to bring himself the first defensive honor of his career by relying on offense. As long as he works harder on the defensive end, it will be difficult for the best defensive team to enter the first team, and the chance of the second team is very high.
