Legend of Tomorrow

? The Suns lost a lot in February. The Western Conference Player of the Month was won by Garnett of the Timberwolves. Guo Xu failed to complete the feat of winning monthly personal honors in the regular season.

However, people discovered that starting center Amare Stoudemire was absent, the Suns were still a strong team, and Guo Xu was still the first double-double machine from the outside. Those who said that he relied on Stoudemire to get assists were not convinced. Silenced.

Nene replaced Stoudemire and became the new Cake King. His statistics improved after his playing time increased. His power after pick-and-roll is no worse than Stoudemire, but he is not sure about the mid-range shot.

When Diop plays, his scoring depends entirely on picking up misses. His defense is much better than when Stoudemire was there, and he can defend the penalty area.

At some point, D'Antoni will also let Haslem serve as center and Marion forward, playing pure small ball tactics.

In March, the Suns lost three games, to the Mavericks and Spurs in the West, and an upset loss to the Hornets, whose winning percentage in the East was just over half. Among them, the 15-point loss to the Mavericks was the biggest difference. Although their defense was poor, once the players found the offensive feeling, the Suns could not withstand it.

Entering April, teams that want to make a difference are starting to work hard to get a better ranking and home field advantage in the playoffs. Teams that have no hope of making the playoffs are starting to mess up and strive for higher draft picks.

After Stoudemire returned, the Suns had a strong team, but they still lost two games, and they were two upsets, losing to the Clippers and Warriors.

Fortunately, the Suns had a big enough advantage in the early stage, and finally ranked first in the league with a total record of 65 wins and 17 losses.

The Suns have the strongest offensive power in the league, and have the best offensive record in winning games, averaging 117.2 points per game and conceding 105.8 points. The team ranks first in the league in net points, ranks first in the league in three-point attempts and field goals, and ranks first in the league in transition speed between offense and defense. With such a style of play, how could their popularity not be high?

The Timberwolves ranked second with 58 wins. Many media began to boast that the three-headed monster helped the Timberwolves rise, and the Suns are the favorites to win this season.

In fact, when the regular season just kicked off, the three-headed monster was not so eye-catching, or the Timberwolves' performance was not good. By the end of November 2003, their record was only 9 wins and 9 losses. Everyone was doubting general manager McHale's transaction and the coaching level of coach Sanders.

After more than a month of running-in, the Timberwolves have become stronger and stronger, and their record has come from behind. If they were in this state from the beginning, the Suns may not have the best record in the league.

The Spurs ranked third with 56 wins. People felt that the Spurs lineup was weaker than last season, but at the end of the game, their performance was not bad.

The Grizzlies ranked fourth with 54 wins. Even so, no one from the Grizzlies was selected as an All-Star this year.

The player's statistics are relatively average.

The Lakers' performance was shocking. In the end, they only won 53 games and ranked fifth. They had no home field advantage in the first round. This record was achieved after O'Neal and Malone came back and caught up in the second half.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Lakers' performance this season was not very good. Even though the Suns and Grizzlies were not strong, the Lakers only managed 56 wins. By virtue of their status as division champions, they were lucky enough to be ranked ahead of the Spurs, who had 57 wins, and became second in the Western Conference.

In the second round, the Lakers relied on Fisher's 0.4-second buzzer beater to win the Battle of Tianwang Mountain by luck. They returned to home and defeated the Spurs 4-2 to advance. Both teams played very anxiously in every game of the series. The Lakers were even luckier in the Western Conference finals. Timberwolves' star point guard Cassel was injured after playing only 1 minute in the second game. Otherwise, the Lakers might not have been able to defeat the Timberwolves.

The most disappointing thing in the regular season was the Kings. Chris Webber, who had minimally invasive surgery, returned in the second half. His body was slightly fatter, and his jumping, movement and agility were not as good as before. The team's record has been declining, ranking second in the Western Conference in the first half, and finally ranked sixth in the Western Conference, winning 52 games.

Many people say that the competition between Weber and Stojakovic for the top spot has led to the decline in record. In fact, they are not very reliable in the playoffs and neither of them is suitable to be the boss.

The Mavericks are only ranked seventh in the Western Conference, and their five-star lineup has become the biggest joke of the season.

The eighth place is the Rockets with only 42 wins. They will challenge the Suns in the first round. Chinese fans think this is good news and they can watch their favorite two teams play against each other. However, basketball experts do not think this is a duel, just a one-sided defeat.

Ranked 9-14 in the West are the Nuggets, Jazz, Trail Blazers, SuperSonics, Warriors, and Clippers.

Without Nene, the Nuggets only had 39 wins and missed the playoffs. This made it no longer suspense for James to win the Rookie of the Year.

The Pacers are ranked first in the Eastern Conference with 61 wins and 21 losses.

The Bulls management was embarrassed. They replaced Jaylen Rose with Brad Miller and Artest. Now that the cancerous Rose was thrown to the Raptors, the two players sent away were both selected as All-Stars.

The Nets ranked second with 47 wins as division champions. The Pistons performed well in the second half and won 54 games, because they could only rank third in the same conference as the Pacers.

Fourth is the rebuilt Miami Heat this year, with only 42 wins. Finishing eighth in the Western Conference will gain home court advantage in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

Wade proved his strength and performed extremely well in his rookie season, averaging 16.6 points, 4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals in 35 minutes per game. If Eddie Jones wasn't the boss and Wade didn't have much of the ball, he would have had a chance to compete for Rookie of the Year this season.

Ranked 5-8 in the Eastern Conference are the Bucks, Knicks, Hornets, and Celtics.

The Celtics only reached the playoffs with 36 wins, which shows how poor the overall strength of the Eastern Conference is. It is worth mentioning that Chinese player Wang Zhizhi got a lot of playing time, scoring 10.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.5 blocks in 28.3 minutes, shooting 44.6% from the field and 37.3% from three-point range.

The Greens sent Antoine Walker to the Mavericks, and the center LaFrentz who was exchanged for him was seriously injured soon after. He played in a total of 17 games. The Greens could only reuse Wang Zhizhi, otherwise there would be no one available inside.

In the mid-term, the Green Army sent away blue-collar Tony Barty and replaced Chris Mihm. The white man's shooting range was not as good as Wang Zhizhi's, and his playing time was still guaranteed. After this season, he will definitely get a good contract based on this data.

9-15 are Cavaliers, 76ers, Raptors, Wizards, Bulls, Hawks, Magic.

The Bulls are at the bottom again, and no matter how they trade, it's useless.

Jason Richardson's statistics have reached the peak of his career, averaging 21.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, but he cannot lead the team. The Bulls management also realizes this. There is no future in building a team with him as the core.

Guo Xu often chatted with Richardson online and gave him some suggestions, but he could not save the young boy. His style is not suitable for being the boss. He has too few breakthroughs and relies mainly on jump shots to score. In terms of personality, Richardson is not a good leader. His relationship with his teammates has always been equal and uncontested.

After playing for a different team, Richardson is at about the same level as in his previous life. The only good news is that he won one more slam dunk championship and signed a big contract. Richardson, who entered the league a year earlier, will probably sign a high salary in his next contract as long as he is not seriously injured and his condition declines early. Earning 100 million in his career is not a big problem.

The Magic were at the bottom from start to finish, with only 19 wins. During this period, their 19-game losing streak set a historical losing streak, heading straight for the No. 1 pick.

The team's only bright spot is Tracy McGrady, who scored a career-high 62 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists against the Wizards in March.

Because Guo Xu's statistics are more impressive, McGrady's explosion did not surprise many people. The good news is that he averaged 28 points per game and did not say I play for the scoring champion, in order to make myself better. worth.

The media unanimously stated that this season belongs to Jason Guo...
