That night, the Christmas battle started in Oxford and was broadcast live across the United States.

When the players arrived at the stadium, the cameraman gave the core of the two teams many close-ups, which were edited out by espn TV to compare. Durant was more weak than just looking at the image.

Guo Xu was wearing a straight customized blue suit and a pair of brand-name glasses that he endorsed, like a male model walking on a catwalk.

Where is Durant? Although he is also wearing a suit, he is a little bigger and loose. He also carried a sports backpack, which looks inappropriate. I don’t know how much endorsement fee the merchants selling the bags gave him, so he always appeared in this image.

At this time, online fans began to criticize each other, with 6 billion people, with more players, taking the upper hand, satirizing the Thunder as the "referee team" and "the president's own son" and citing data as evidence. This season, the Thunder was the team with the most free throws in the league, and the Suns' total free throws ranked 18th in the league, a sharp drop from last season.

This is indeed very unpleasant, and the league's intention to win stars is too obvious.

Durant averaged 9.4 free throws per game, and he has mastered his unique skills. On the one hand, he has a whistle. A big man with an actual height of 210cm is difficult to block the jump shot, and he can even make a foul with the ball. How can he defend himself?

James has been running second for several consecutive years. As he grows older, his position in the president's mind is getting lower and lower. The league needs a new "Sun Challenger", and Durant is the number one candidate.

Thunder point guard Westbrook also averaged 7.7 free throws per game, surpassing Guo Xu, and the sixth man DeRozan averaged 4 free throws per game.

The Suns' whistle has become weaker this season. Guo Xu, as the first in the league, has only 7 free throws per game, while Roy is averaging 5.5 free throws per game.

The inside players' free throw data are even worse. Gasol Jr. averages 3.6 free throws per game, Ibaka averages 2.2 free throws per game, and O'Neal only averages 2.4 free throws per game, so the opponent does not need to cut the Sharks tactics.

The alliance began to blatantly suppress the Sun. The 6 billion pots online were dissatisfied with the experts' explanation, "Xiao Si is gone." It seems that other insiders of the Sun will not cover the air cuts except Xiao Si.

Now, as long as the Suns' inside line is not dropped by a fierce thug, it is normal for physical confrontation near the penalty area to be fought.

Even so, the Suns have only lost six games so far. They win by cooperating overall and can create opportunities for scoring in sports battles.

President David Stern really doesn't want to see Guo Xu win the ninth championship this season. The 30-year-old first player in the league is too terrifying, and it can affect the ideas of other players and the decisions of management.

Just like if James had not been abused by Guo Xu, Xia Tian would have announced the "Decision One" in the United States. If Kobe had not been stimulated by Guo Xu, even if he scolded the boss, the manager, the teammates, and asked to be traded, he would have stayed loyally in the Lakers.

The league intends to destroy the Suns' second dynasty and let other teams see hope for victory.

The league's actions aroused Guo Xu's competitive spirit. If he didn't make three consecutive games this year, he would feel very uncomfortable. It would be a bad feeling that he was only one step away from the dynasty. It would be better to just win one championship and break it like the Spurs, and never defend the title.

In this Christmas battle, Durant wants to step on him and get on the top? There is no door!

When players from both sides appeared, Guo Xu received applause from away fans. He has a large number of fans across the United States, and has led the All-Star voting that has begun, and will become the star ticket leader for the ninth consecutive time.

Durant is far inferior to him, but he is just a challenger. The media asked him to comment on Guo Xu, but he didn't even dare to say anything harsh.

American espn live competitions, Chinese CCTV5 is also live.

Zhang Heli and Yu Jia talked about the recent situation of Chinese players and expressed some regrets. CCTV5 live broadcast of Suns games because there are no Chinese players in the league to pay attention to and support.

Yao Ming was injured and reimbursed again. As a heavy center, his weakness of being impatient with his weight still showed. It is unknown when he will come back next time and whether he will come back.

He won a championship with the Rockets, but failed to completely change his destiny, and he still played too many games. A center like him was able to continue participating in the Olympics after the finals in 2008, and it was a miracle that he could hold on until the end without getting injured.

Yi Jianlian's performance in the Wizards was poor and the team ranked last. However, he could not compete in the team with Andre Blachi, who entered the NBA second-round draft pick that year, became a marginalist.

Even if Yi Jianlian and Kevin Love compete, Love has become the boss of the Wizards this season, and after the start of the game, he averaged 20 15 stats per game and had 2.5 assists.

Love's shooting percentage is 47% and his three-pointers are 41%, which has become even more powerful after playing the World Championships. However, Yi Jianlian couldn't let go of both offense and defense, and his playing time, shooting percentage and data hit a career low.

The real shooting rate of an inside player is 45.9%. I'm asking if you're afraid? The Wizards gave Yi Jianlian 15 minutes of playing time to attract the attention of Chinese fans. When he was so inefficient that he was not as good as a defender, he occasionally scored a double last time and even the media blew him.

"Yi Jianlian scored 10 points" and "Yi Jianlian won 6 rebounds in space", so many shameless news Chinese reporters can compile. At most, the American black reporters sarcastically said Yi Jianlian, saying that he was weak, and those "Yi Mi" editors directly wanted him to die.

Sun Yue has played 10 NBA games in his career, averaging 2.8 minutes per game, and is the king of marginal people. He has tried out many teams and failed, so he has returned to the Olympic God to play the exhibition game early.

Although the Suns have no Chinese players, they have two Chinese, which feels slightly closer than other teams.

Sun: Guo Xu, Roy, Richardson, Ibaka, O'Neal.

Thunder: Westbrook, Dai Quinn Cook, Seifrosha, Durant, Horford.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game began.

Roy held the ball and organized outside the three-point line. Guo Xu ran from the right bottom line to the left bottom corner. Roy passed it to Richardson first, and the latter quickly transferred it to Guo Xu.

O'Neal blocked Wei Shao without the ball, and the latter quickly caught up with the defense.

Guo Xu had his hands swayed with his hands, and moved horizontally and passed the ball to the low post. O'Nealshen entered the penalty area with a close position, and caught the ball and hit Horford with his back and turned around and hooked the ball into the middle. 2-0.

At low post, when O'Neal was holding the ball with his back, from the defender's perspective, a heavy tank came.

Compared with O'Neal, Duncan will look thin. Horford, who is 208cm tall and weighs 111 kilograms, weighs more than 30 kilograms lighter than O'Neal and is two laps smaller. How can he resist?

O'Neal, whose physical fitness has declined, was still able to score points in limited playing time last season, relying on body shape and strength.

When receiving the ball at a low post, O'Neal can easily push 90% of the players to the basket as long as he faces single defense. At his peak, he is top in lower limb strength and first in upper limb strength!

O'Neal's explosive power is no longer frequent dunks, and he has another move to turn around and hook. This move often makes the defender helpless. He will not be able to jump up with his opponent who is close to him, and his hit rate is very high.

If you attract double-team O'Neal, you can still pass the ball. It can be said that he is one of the best inside players in history to crack double-team.

D'Antoni guessed that the Thunder would let Chandler play small ball tactics on the bench, so he arranged O'Neal's main attack at the beginning and unexpectedly targeted the Thunder's lineup.

The Thunder won the game in the past two games, and Brooks was a bit rigid in the arrangement of troops. He thought the Suns would continue to reuse Gasol Jr. and Horford could withstand it.
