Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 359 [Human Victory Cigar, Advice to Sister-in-law]

Guo Xu plans to take the swing man array route. It is impossible for the Suns to mainly play two guards. His height is already at a disadvantage, and the two guards cannot prevent the opponent's pick-and-roll.

In his previous life, Howard was excellent both offensively and defensively, helping the Mavericks reach the Finals. He was also selected for the All-Star Game in 2007. At his peak, he averaged 19.9 points, 7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.7 steals per game.

On the offensive end, his strong-playing skills are extraordinary. With his excellent physical fitness, he can break through the frame and beat defenders with his back in the low post. He is also the first choice for the Mavericks' fast break.

Howard's fame relies on defense. He is the most important part of the Mavericks' defensive system. With his amazing wingspan and speed, he has no disadvantages when facing top swingmen, and is always responsible for defending outside scorers.

His biggest shortcoming is probably his appearance. If he and Marion form an ugly front line, the Suns may lose female fans.

As for the Mavericks' lineup becoming weaker without Howard and not being able to reach the finals in 2006, that's exactly what Guo Xu wants to see. The Mavericks are an important competitor for the team in the next few years. Why not do it if they can destroy the opponent's lineup?

Even if Howard is chosen to guard the water fountain and is eliminated, it is still better than taking advantage of the Mavericks.

The 2003 NBA rookies are worthy of being called the golden generation. They are not just blown away in the first year of the draft. Some players with development potential can be found in the second round.

The Knicks selected Mazie Lampe with the first pick in the second round, and Slavukau Voniss with the 39th pick. Both are heavy insiders with a height of over 210cm and a weight of over 120kg.

Among them, the first second-round pick was obtained by the Knicks from the Suns in exchange for last year's second-round pick and cash. It was the pick that the Knicks gave away when Marbury was traded last summer. The Suns have too many new players. They only want to select two this year, and cannot train more.

The Cavaliers selected Jason Kapono, known as the best three-point shooter in this year, as a single role player.

The Lakers selected forward Luke Walton, who has a very high basketball IQ and started to show off his power as soon as he retired.

The Wizards selected Steve Blake. This point guard is unusual. He has started on many teams in his previous life. He is good at shooting and organization. He is 191cm tall and can reach the league average defensively.

Blake helped the University of Maryland win the NCAA championship in 2002. He is the main point guard and is seriously underestimated.

But this is what NBA scouts will do. Many players who have won championships in the NCAA and even won MOP will fall to the second round just because of poor physical fitness. In the future, there will be two players who will directly lose the draft.

And rough guys with super physical fitness like Kwame Brown, Swift, and Diop,

Even if your basic skills are so bad that you can hit your feet with the ball, there will still be teams rushing to get it. After the draft, when the manager sees this person for a long time, he will have the urge to beat his chest and dig his eyes out...

The SuperSonics selected Willie Green, the Magic selected Pachulia, and the Bucks selected Keith Bogans. These players will also be able to start in the NBA in the future and are outstanding role players.

The Bulls selected Matt Bonner, an inside man who can shoot three-pointers. The future Red Mamba will have no chance of survival if he is not traded. With Baby Shark, boxing champion, and tattooed man around, he will definitely not have a chance to play.

The Suns selected another forward, James Jones, with the 48th overall pick in the second round.

After thinking about it, Guo Xu gave up on Korver, who had a more accurate shot. He was a top-notch defender in the early stage, and it took him many years of practice to reach the passing line. The Suns' goal is to win the championship, and they have no time to cultivate this kind of newcomer.

Jones is 203cm tall, weighs 99kg, and has a wingspan of 218cm, which is 4cm longer than the wingspan of the No. 1 pick Little Emperor.

He can play the 3rd and 4th positions. He was versatile in high school and averaged 25.2 points, 12 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2 steals and 6 blocks per game in his senior season.

After entering college, Jones lost his advantage in confrontation and switched to small forward. He gradually transformed into a three-point shooter with excellent accuracy from the bottom corner. On the defensive end, he can still block shots with his height and wingspan. During his junior and senior seasons, Jones started 89 consecutive games and averaged 11.1 points, 5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.

Jones fell to the second round because his data was not impressive, and he was nearly 23 years old after college and had no potential to tap.

This is the reason why Guo Xu is optimistic about him. Jones has excellent immediate combat ability. His body is strong and can adapt to NBA-level confrontation, and his IQ is also very high. He majored in finance at the University of Miami and was a top student with a GPA of 3.41.

In addition, Jones was the famous Human Victory Cigar in his previous life. He has played for the Pacers, Suns, Trail Blazers, Heat and Cavaliers in his career. He won the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest in 2011 and won two consecutive NBA championships with the Heat in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. Champion, he won the NBA championship again with the Cavaliers in the 2015-16 season.

Honor is not the key. The most amazing thing is that Jones has played in the playoffs 12 times in his career and played 148 games. This data has surpassed many stars. He has played 14 seasons in the NBA and only missed the playoffs twice.

From a metaphysical point of view, Jones is a super lucky man. The only person in history who is luckier than him is Robert Horry.

In comparison, Korver is too weak. He has not been able to win a championship ring as he approaches retirement, and always reports errors when trying to hold his legs.

Guo Xu was not only reborn, but also encountered a time loop. He believed that there were gods and mysterious powers in this world. He was superstitious and firmly believed that Jones would bring him good luck.

At this time, the Suns' reinforcement work has almost been completed, and there is no shortage of players in every position, but they still need to examine the veterans who are willing to take over in the summer and try to sign someone who can play a role.

It will definitely be difficult for the Suns to bring in big-name veterans. For example, someone like Karl Malone, who has won two regular season MVPs, still scored 20.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals last season.

Even if the boss personally invites him, Malone will not be willing to come to the Suns to serve as a substitute for a bunch of rookies. As for Malone being the starter, it is impossible. How could the Suns give up their run-and-gun tactics for a 40-year-old veteran?

Can you change the channel? Megan asked with a yawn.

Of course, change it.

Guo Xu sent a text message to manager Brian, saying that he had watched the draft and was very satisfied with the results. Then he began to think about what else was important.

On July 2, he will go to China for a three-day event. This time it is not a trip, but a sneaker endorsement.

My trip to China will take four days to go back and forth. What are your plans?

I'm going to stay with Vanessa for a few days. She's pregnant again recently, so she's quite bored at home. Meghan replied. The two have always had a good relationship and occasionally go shopping and eat together.

Where's Kobe? Guo Xu suddenly remembered a major historical event.

Meghan said: He was going to have minor knee surgery and was not at home.

Is this the inertia of history? Guo Xu took a deep breath. Even though this guy's playoffs ended one round early, he still had to go to Eagle County. Can't he have surgery in Los Angeles?

Guo Xu thought for a while and sighed: Stop looking for Vanessa and do something else. You can send her a message or call her and persuade her to accompany Kobe for the surgery.

Why? Megan turned around and asked curiously.

Would you believe it if I said that Kobe would cheat if no one was watching? Vanessa is just pregnant and can't go out. Guo Xu said seriously, pretending to be I know Kobe very well.

Does he often do this in away games? Meghan was stunned for a moment, hearing the incredible gossip. Were you with him?

No... Anyway, just give Vanessa a heads up.

Guo Xu didn't speak much to Kobe for a whole year, but he wanted to stop this incident. Vanessa had a miscarriage in her previous life, and the child was innocent. (https:)
