Legend of Tomorrow

? With a day off, the Suns defeated the visiting Heat 103-98 at home on the 21st.

This game was a thrilling win because Guo Xu had poor touch and made 2 of 10 three-pointers. He only scored 20 points, sent 12 assists and made 5 turnovers in 40 minutes.

Players who want to compete for the scoring title tend to have invisible shackles. Guo Xu wants to ensure that he scores more than 20 points in every game because his status in the NBA has become very high. It would be too shameful if he occasionally failed to score in double figures like he did when he was with the Lakers in the first two seasons of his career. In order to ensure data, he has to make even shots.

In fact, from the perspective of fans, there are more black spots in games where stars have low shooting percentages but high scores. The reason is simple. However, Guo Xu's mentality changed after he won the regular season MVP, and he can no longer see the problem from the perspective of fans. .

Being praised by a group of people every day, no matter how low-key a star is, he will inevitably develop some arrogance over time. What's more, Guo Xu has never been low-key? With arrogance, it is easy to compete with others.

The target of Guo Xu's competition is the Heat's starting guard, the original NBA Flash in his previous life, and one of the Three Heroes in the future, Cheek Man Dwyane Wade.

Wade had abnormal physical fitness as soon as he entered the league. He was 193cm tall at the side, 210cm in wingspan, 96 kilograms in weight, 259cm in standing reach, 6.7% body fat, 80cm in place and 89cm in run-up.

The Heat have not disclosed the sprint data for 3/4 games, but Wade's strongest point is his speed and agility. He is a heavy guard, but his speed can be compared with many small and light guards.

Wade's performance was very eye-catching in this game, scoring 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. He was playing as a point guard. He forced a breakthrough and Guo Xu couldn't guard him. The impact was too strong.

Wade is not disadvantaged in physical confrontations with forwards. His weakness is that he is not good at mid-range shooting and is easily double-teamed near the penalty area.

After Lamar Odom joined, the Heat's inside strength has also improved. He scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, and he can play both inside and outside. However, the Heat's overall strength is slightly lower than in its previous life because the team is missing Haslem.

On the 23rd, Guo Xu broke out at home, scoring 34 points, 11 assists and 4 steals, leading the team to defeat the underdog Magic 116-89.

The Magic started with a record of 1 win and 11 losses, which was shocking.

The Magic were still able to defend last season. After a summer lineup overhaul and the introduction of former star power forward Juwan Howard, they immediately became a weak team. Howard's average of 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game is very good, but the opponent's power forward will produce even more luxurious statistics when facing him.

In his prime, Howard played small forward.

He is a colander when he plays as an inside player. The position suitable for him currently is as a substitute. It is too reluctant to be a starter. The coach has no choice. If Howard doesn't start, he will have to let Spring Man Swift.

Swift is always one-sided. On the offensive end, he can't hit the mid-range shot. He relies on air cuts to score. On the defensive end, he flies away as soon as the opponent swipes. He is still like this in his fourth season. It is a waste of a good body.

The power forward position at least still has experience and talent. Magic's starting center Andrew De Klerk is completely unqualified. He lacks scoring ability and is very sparse in defense.

Their perimeter weaknesses are also obvious. The starting point guard is Tyronn Lue, and the shooting guard is this year's second-round pick Keith Bogans.

McGrady, as the core, really has nothing to do this season except to collect statistics. It is impossible for this lineup to win. Due to the poor strength of his teammates, McGrady was frequently double-teamed, and his statistics and shooting percentage were not as good as last season.

After easily defeating the Warriors, the Suns unexpectedly lost to the Nuggets 104-110 on the road at the end of the month.

Marion only played two minutes before he sprained his ankle and retired. The Suns team went crazy and only three people scored in double figures.

Guo Xu scored 26 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, Stoudemire had 25 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, but except for them, everyone else performed very poorly.

None of the Nuggets players scored high, and Anthony, the best performer, only had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. The victory came from multiple points. 7 players in the team scored in double figures, and 5 players scored 15+ points.

Substitute Jon Barry made 4 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, effectively scoring 12 points and 3 assists; Guo Xu, a power forward who had no impression in his previous life, Rodney White, made 5 of 11 shots and 5 free throws. 5. Scored 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists.

Marion's injury was not serious and he had to miss a few games. The Suns lacked an All-Star and their strength declined.

Entering the first game in December, the Suns lost to the Timberwolves 90-92 at home. The team did well defensively, but failed to score 100 points and suffered two consecutive losses.

Only Guo Xu and Stoudemire scored in double figures in the Suns team. Joe Johnson made 1 of 8 shots from the field, Bell made 1 of 6 shots, Kirisek made 0 of 5 shots, and the outside was collectively inaccurate.

Guo Xu took more shots in the second half. He made 14 of 25 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 36 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal. Unfortunately, he could not win a victory.

At the end of the game, D'Antoni boldly sent in substitute veteran Kukoc, allowing Guo Xu to attract the defense and then pass the ball to the bottom corner, creating an opportunity. Kukoc's three-pointer missed the basket.

Qi Ge will not get a contract extension from the Suns after this season, and his current contract value is only worth tens of millions of dollars.

The Suns only lost two games last month. Guo Xu was elected the Western Conference Player of the Month with the best record in the Western Conference and beautiful statistics.

December was not going well for the Suns. After defeating the Celtics 120-106 on the 5th, they lost back-to-back games to the Nets 98-102.

Stoudemire was in a very sluggish state this time. He only missed 7 of 20 shots from the field, and almost all of his mid-range shots missed the basket.

Star point guard Jason Kidd's performance remained stable, posting a near-triple-double of 15 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists. His scoring ability is not as good as Guo Xu's, but his defense is much better than Guo Xu's. He can guard insiders such as Stoudemire and Haslem after mismatching.

Nets blue-collar center Jason Collins' offensive statistics are ugly. He is also the player with the greatest false height in the NBA, falsely reporting a full 10cm. However, his defense is really excellent. He can not only resist people near the penalty area, but also follow the opponent out. .

Relying on his defensive ability, Collins became the Nets' starting center after Mourning was reimbursed due to kidney disease.

Kenyon Martin is a wild beast power forward with super mobility. He is good at guarding pick-and-rolls and assisting in blocking shots. On the offensive end, he often dunks downhill after pick-and-rolls, attracting a large number of fans.

The Nets rely on defense to win, and their offense is mediocre. They are perhaps the best pick-and-roll defense team in the league. Their overall defense speed is very fast, they are not afraid of run-and-gun counterattacks, and they can restrain the Suns to a large extent.

At this time, Suns fans all discovered the importance of Marion. He is really an All-Star level star.

In basketball games, the defense of wing players is crucial. If Marion is absent, the Suns' overall defense will be weaker. Back then, the Suns management offered the Hacker a maximum salary. Many people thought it was too high. In fact, without him, Even if Nash is poached, he won't be able to play well.

In Guo Xu's previous life, in the 2007-08 season, the Suns traded Marion for O'Neal in the middle of the season. Their wing defense deteriorated, but they barely made the playoffs and were eliminated by the Spurs in the first round. Last season, the Suns were the second-ranked team in the Western Conference during the regular season, winning 60+ games.

In the 2008-09 season, the Suns management also traded Laga Bell. The best defender on the wing was veteran Grant Hill. This was a suicide attempt. The Suns directly missed the playoffs. O'Neal was also traded and became the one who took the blame. people.

Marion joined the Mavericks at the age of 32 and was still an excellent wing defender, helping the Mavericks win the championship.

It takes time for Josh Howard to grow up, and the Suns are now inseparable from the hacker. (https:)
