During the halftime break, the tnt commentator commented on the performance of the players on both sides, believing that the solar energy leads the star, and Marion's departure has a significant impact on the team as a whole.

In fact, even if Marion stays, it is not very useful. Maybe he just spends his days trying to make money. He joined the magic trick to prove that he can do it even if he leaves the sun, and his mentality is completely different.

In the second half, both sides played a small ball tactic. The Lakers' "one big leads four small" made people's eyes shine and once again surpassed the score.

Odom plays the center in the inside, and can pull out the cover on the offensive end to support the pass, completely withdraw the inside to help his teammates create breakthrough space; his mobility is not inferior to that of Xiao Si on the defensive end, and only has poor confrontation.

Before the start of this season, many people were discussing whether Odom could be competent for the center of the five small lineups. Now that he has entered the era of small ball, the Lakers can consider playing like this.

This question has an answer. "Zen Master" Jackson will let Odom play the guest center at a certain period of time. He can always perform well in the No. 5 position, as long as the opponent does not play the power center and attacks the basket.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Odom also played the starting center in the national team at the 2010 World Championships. Coach K took the risk and also mentioned Durant to the starting PF position, which beat the opponent.

The other four Lakers are Ellis, Joe Johnson, Bathirl, Artest, and they can fight positional battles and counterattacks, and they can keep up with the running and bombing rhythm of the Suns.

Ellis is the person in charge of breaking through the ball and playing pick-and-roll, Joe Johnson organized, and the other two swingers focused on the defensive end. The outside world opened and waited for the opportunity to catch the ball and shot, and transferred the ball if there was no chance.

Arte did not suffer any losses against Haslem. Both of them were short power forwards. Bathil performed well in defense, constantly interfering in front of him, and defending with his eyes. When the formation was shrinking, he could also help double-team Si.

Xiao Si's passing awareness is not top-notch. When he receives Guo Xu's pass, he is likely to rush to the basket by shooting in a mid-range shot or killing to the basket. When the frame breaks through, it is difficult to observe the teammates behind him. Bathir retreats to assist in defense. Xiao Si's difficulty in discovering Roy, and forced his moves several times under interference.

In order to prevent Odom and Ellis from pick-and-roll, the Suns formation contracted, Joe Johnson started singles again in the second half, and both against Roy and Bale had the upper hand. He could change direction and break through and jump shot in the face frame, and could turn around and break through or play hard, and his skills were very comprehensive.

Only the wrong name is named, and no wrong nickname is called. "Single Joe" always has a way to create a mobile phone game when facing single defense, and the hit rate is not low. He basically has the skills of Guo Xuhui. He practiced it together back then, and the gap is only in terms of physical fitness, reaction speed, etc.

Joe Johnson scored 13 points in a single quarter, and the Suns fell behind 91 to 99 and entered the final quarter. The atmosphere at the Lakers was very hot at home, and the audience liked this kind of high-scoring game.

Barkley said: "Jo Johnson played great, like Pierce who doesn't jump. He will definitely be selected for the All-Star this year. Although he averaged less than 20 points per game, that's because of fewer shots."

Smith said: "Joe Johnson is indeed very comprehensive. The Suns chose Roy as a template to strengthen the lineup. Today, he has a little advantage in the two of them."

Roy has potential, but this year is only the second season of his career, and it is a bit difficult to face an All-Star opponent.

When playing in a weak team, Guo Xu was willing to help Roy grow. Guo Xu still had to consider himself in a tough battle like today. He didn't make many moves in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, and at the end of the third quarter, he also scored a double-double with 25 points and 13 assists.

This year he played like this. He helped his teammates create opportunities in the first three quarters. He shot more in the last quarter, but his teammates had no objection. This is the most suitable way to play at the current time. Otherwise, players in the contract year will have ideas and the atmosphere in the locker room will also have problems.

It is impossible to make a contract year's contract year voluntarily sacrifice data. It is impossible for a star or a coach to be so charming that people give up money completely. 99% of professional players play for money, which is why the word "profession" ranks ahead of players.

Players' data swiping in contract year is a unspoken rule for the NBA for many years. No matter how team players are, they will pursue the maximization of their own interests in a critical year.

Unless it is voluntary like Marion, the Suns management cannot choose to trade some players out of the team just because the contract year is here. That would be too unhuman. Who dares to join such a team in the future?

Guo Xu's playing style that is fixed during the period of power is flawed, which will give the opponent a trace. During the rest period, "Zen Master" Jackson began to emphasize his defense against Guo Xu.

"Monta tried to follow him closely on the outside and interfered with him. When he encountered a cover, he bypassed the chase as quickly as possible. When changing defenses inside, he should double-team quickly to keep someone in front of him. He could not easily throw the ball out and force him to pass the ball."

After Guo Xu scored more than 40 per game in a single season, the league teams reached a consensus that they would rather let the Suns take an empty position than let Guo Xu fight easily.

D'Antoni's tactic is that his teammates defend carefully and hand over the ball to Guo Xu on the offensive end.

Five players on the Suns: Guo Xu, Anthony Parker, Roy, Stardameier, and Valaijo.

When Sir Jr. reaches the power forward position, Parker is responsible for dealing with Joe Johnson. He is tall and powerful, and can interfere with shooting close to his body. Bale suffers from the height and weight of Joe Johnson, and Roy lacks experience in defense.

After joining the team, Roy performed well on the offensive end. He never showed the potential to become a defensive expert on the defensive end. He was just average, and he was motivated, interfering with shooting, and defending breakthroughs were relatively average.

After leaving Marion and Ariza, the Suns' defense inevitably weakened, and the two men's single defense ability was much better.

Fortunately, the Suns' wings have not yet become as tragic as in the same period in their previous life. The Suns made stupid trades after being managered by the inexperienced Cole. Once Marion left, he did not pass the first round of the playoffs. Then Cole actually sent Bale and Dior away, resulting in veteran Hill becoming the best Suns' outside defense. It was normal that he could not make the playoffs in 2009.

Five Lakers played: Ellis, Joe Johnson, Artest, Odom, and Bogut.

Fisher and Bathir went down to rest. These five players were the Lakers' strongest attack lineup.

The Suns attacked first, Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Roy. He ran to the left bottom corner and stood for a while, quickly ran to the right bottom corner, and got rid of Ellis under the cover of Vallezzo.

The formation was widened, Xiao Si was in the middle, Parker was on the left, and Roy passed the ball 70 degrees to Guo Xu on the right, and this side became a strong side.

Guo Xu's face frame did not fade and directly held the ball and turned to take a step on the left. Ellis rushed too fast and couldn't stop the car. He was passed by Guo Xu in one step. Bogut also defended himself and attacked Guo Xu according to the coach's arrangement.

But once Guo Xu passed Esley, he couldn't double-team. He grabbed the ball and jumped quickly to the center to attract Bogut's defense, and gave the ball to the basket from his side. Valecho received the ball from the basket and dunked it with both hands to score.

93 to 99, Guo Xu had the 14th assist.

When the Lakers attacked, Bogut was a threat in the inside. In order to restrict him from joining defense, at least three of them contracted near the penalty area. Guo Xu retreated far behind, letting Ellis take two steps to defend against breaking but not attacking.

Ellis played pick-and-roll with Odom in the middle, but Sir did not change defense. Guo Xu bypassed the screen from the inside to chase the defense. Esley stopped and jumped in with a quick stop, and missed the basket with a slight interference from Guo Xu.
