Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu's record and winning percentage in February were the best in the league. He once again won the Western Conference Player of the Month Award and the Western Conference Player of the Week Award three times.

Entering March, the Suns had a bad start. They first lost to the Hornets 101-107 at home, and then lost to the Timberwolves 98-105 at home.

Guo Xu performed steadily, playing 44 minutes and scoring 33 points, 11 assists and 28 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals respectively. However, his teammates were in poor condition, especially Marion, who suddenly lost his sights.

In the loss to the Timberwolves, Marion was denied many shots from the outside. In 44 minutes, he made 3 of 15 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 10 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals. He also didn't do a good job guarding Szczerbiak, who had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and made 4 of 6 three-pointers.

A healthy Szczerbiak is not much worse than the Kings' Peja Stojakovic. The two have very similar styles. Both can catch and shoot accurately, and can also attack with the ball.

The Suns have lost three of the last four games, with a total record of 42 wins and 18 losses, which is the same as the Spurs. The Mavericks continue to lead the league with 46 wins and 14 losses. The Kings have 42 wins and 19 losses, and are half a game behind in fourth place.

As the second in charge of the team, Marion's poor performance had a great impact on the team. Guo Xu did not blame him. He invited Marion to dinner alone and chatted with him before facing the Warriors at home.

Sean, what's bothering you recently? If you need help, just say it and don't hold it in.

Marion was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: Thank you, I have nothing to worry about recently... I'm just not in a good state.

Guo Xu smiled and said: Then relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself, think of something interesting, or ask your girlfriend to go to a movie, have a candlelight dinner, etc.

Marion gritted his teeth and looked very embarrassed. If he hadn't had a neck, Guo Xu might have seen him shrinking his neck. Now it was just a slight shake of his shoulders.

After 15 seconds of silence, Marion smiled bitterly and said, Actually, my girlfriend and I just broke up.

Guo Xuhan said: I guess, aren't you still worried? What's going on?

We just broke up. She said I was too naive and different from what she imagined, and I was unwilling to make changes for her. Marion said with a bitter smile.

Guo Xu nodded. Brother, you are different from what I imagined at the beginning, but I will never ask you to make changes. You are fine now. If a woman wants to change you, there is nothing to regret about breaking up with such a person.

One day you will definitely meet someone you can talk to.

Marion sighed and asked, Would any woman be willing to watch Cartoon Network with me?

Of course, there are people in this world who have had plastic surgery to turn themselves into a Jackass bunny girl, and have had six ribs removed from her body. There are many people who like cartoons.

Really? There is such a person? Why don't I just find her. Marion smiled.

...

After Guo Xu joined the Suns, Marion has already had two girlfriends. He is a football star, rich and young and strong. Although he looks a bit cartoony, he can still attract many women.

The last woman was probably here for money, and she asked for a car and a house within a few days of talking, so Marion took the initiative to break up with her. Recently, this guy just graduated from university and majored in economics. He is a bit old-fashioned. He keeps talking about investment and financial management, saying that he can't stand some of Marion's childish behaviors.

Marion was born in a single-parent family and grew up with his mother Elaine and three sisters. Elaine was unexpectedly pregnant with twins when she was a freshman in high school. She was the real-life version of the movie Juno.

When they told me it was a boy and a girl, I was really shocked. Elaine later said in an interview: I hope my son will be a basketball player and my daughter will be a cheerleader. I still said silently in my heart, God Oh, give me strength and let me take care of the children.

Elaine did it, but the process was full of hardships. After giving birth to Marion and his twin sisters, Elaine moved several times. Marion attended high school in Tennessee and later went to college in Las Vegas. Until now, Elaine's family has been living in the casino.

Marion has many hobbies, and his favorite thing is to watch cartoons. His TV is always on the Cartoon Channel. He not only watches famous cartoons, but he can also watch some bad cartoons.

Therefore, the character of this macho man is actually similar to that of Japanese fat nerds, addicted to the second dimension.

In addition, he also likes to eat snacks and play with remote control racing cars. He has several remote control racing cars at home.

Marion also likes to play game consoles, not computer games or big games like ps2, but very old coin-operated game consoles. He is a master at playing Donkey Kong and Pac-Man...

Except for his familiar teammates and friends, who would have thought that he was such a person? Is it worthy of his murderous face?

Guo Xu quite likes Marion. He is a childlike, caring and good person, and he is also very filial. His first money after joining the NBA was to buy a house in Las Vegas for his mother.

He also has a hobby of playing poker and gambling, but his bets are not as big as Jordan's, and he is a small gambler. Because the whole family has been living in Las Vegas, he did not buy a house in Phoenix and has always lived in an apartment, which is very close to Guo Xu.

In short, no matter how you look at it, Marion is a weirdo, even weirder than Joe Johnson, but he has a more cheerful personality and gets along well with his teammates.

The two chatted about random things for a while, and when they were about to go home after dinner, Guo Xu brought up the basketball game.

Relax. As long as you have a chance at night, I will still pass the ball to you. It doesn't matter if you can't shoot well from outside. You can also help the team with defense and rebounding. Grab the backcourt rebound and pass it, and I will take care of them. .”

Marion asked: Now is the critical moment for you to compete for MVP. Aren't you nervous?

You can't win MVP if you're nervous. You have to put up good numbers. You can pass the ball to me more at night. Their forward Shane Battier defends well. It's easier to score by attacking around him.

No problem, I will help you win the MVP, I promise. Marion smiled.

He is not jealous of Guo Xu. He can't even make the All-Star starting lineup. Almost no fans are willing to vote for him. He has long since thought about becoming a top star.

Marion renewed his contract with the Suns in advance in September last year and received a six-year maximum salary of 80 million, which is 5 million higher than Guo Xu. He doesn't have any pressure in his life now, and his dream is to be the second-in-command like Pippen and help the Suns win the championship.

But this is a bit difficult. When several newcomers grow up and are no less powerful than Marion, sooner or later he will have to sacrifice data for the team, just in the past few years.

They also want to take more shots and produce good data. What Guo Xu and Kobe do in the Lakers are essentially the same. They also want to take on more responsibilities after the team loses consecutively.

The difference is that Guo Xu communicated with his teammates in advance. Even if Marion is much less famous than O'Neal, he will put everything on the table and say it, which will make his teammates feel more comfortable.

On the contrary, if he directly reduces passes and takes more shots on the court, Marion will feel that he is not trusted.

Guo Xu's college experience in his previous life was not in vain. His emotional intelligence can surpass 90% of NBA players. Unless you have a personality problem, you will not be disgusted with him.
