Legend of Tomorrow

The age of the players is indeed the biggest weakness of the Suns. They have outstanding talent but lack of toughness.

This weakness was exposed by the Suns players during the regular season. They are good at hitting tailwinds. If they lead more at the beginning, the role players will get better and better and can compete against stars. Once the score is tight, the young players will be at a loss in the final quarter and will only pass the ball to Guo Xu.

Entering the playoffs, Josh Howard and Steve Blake can't be counted on. If they play well, they can go out and practice. When the score is tight, they will definitely make mistakes.

They are afraid that they will hold their teammates back in important games and that people will blame them for the loss after the game. In fact, no, people will only blame the stars. It is normal for young players to pay tuition if they perform poorly. If they perform well, they will be praised, just like Guo Xu in the Lakers.

Unfortunately, simply telling them this will not reduce the pressure. It is up to the players themselves to resist the pressure. Not to mention the NBA, the world's highest level basketball competition, even the NCAA, players need a strong ability to withstand pressure if they want to play well.

What makes Guo Xu depressed is that the factor that really determines the outcome of these two games is luck, and the Timberwolves have particularly good luck. The Suns players missed many opportunities to seal the victory, while Madman Sprewell missed two games.

In Guo Xu's previous life, this season was Sprewell's final peak, averaging nearly 20 4 4 in the playoffs. Under normal circumstances, his shooting is not very accurate and his efficiency is average, but when he gets wind, he is an All-Star.

In the 2002-03 season, Sprewell, who played for the Knicks, miraculously hit 9 consecutive three-pointers in a game against the Clippers, scoring 38 points and leading the team to a 105-92 victory over the Clippers. (Clippers: Me again?)

The Timberwolves are even more lucky that alien Cassel was not injured and has always been healthy.

Although Cassel suffers when defending Guo Xu alone, he can steadily contribute points on the offensive end. Whether Guo Xu defends closely or interferes with shooting from a distance, it is difficult to reduce his shooting percentage.

Cassell is the most accurate of the Timberwolves in this playoffs, currently shooting 47.6% from the field and averaging 19.2 points and 6 assists per game.

Cassel is also at his peak this year. In his previous life, he averaged 16.6 points per game in the 2004 playoffs, which seems to have dropped a lot from the regular season. In fact, in Cassell's 16 playoff games, he averaged 16.6 points per game. He almost didn't play in the first game against the Lakers. In the second game, he was injured for 1 minute and did not score. In the fourth game, he played 5 minutes with injury and scored 3 points. Excluding these two games, his average per game is 18.7 points, basically maintaining his regular season strength.

Although Kassel looks like an alien,

He is a warrior at heart, and this series in his previous life was impressive. Although he felt uncomfortable walking, he still fulfilled his promise, gritted his teeth, started in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, and persisted for 27 minutes to win the game. 18 points.

Then he got hurt again! 28.2 seconds before halftime, Cassel dribbled into the three-point line. Malone stretched out his big hand and missed the basketball intentionally or unintentionally. He slapped Cassel on the head and knocked him to the ground.

Cassell's already weak back was severely injured when he fell to the ground. As a result, he only played 7 minutes in the second half after scoring 15 points, the highest score of both teams, in the first half. He served as a spectator for 11 minutes, and the Timberwolves lost the game because of this.

Why is Malone always the one who accidentally hurts his opponent? This is really a question.

Guo Xukong scored 27 points and 17 assists in exchange for a victory, and the Suns were in trouble with a score of 0-2.

After the game, although the other two-headed monsters of the Timberwolves performed well, all the credit went to Garnett.

There is big news in the media. Many people say that Guo Xu is overrated, that his beautiful statistics are of no use, and that he is still a defensive black hole. The MVP of this season's regular season should belong to Garnett.

The media praised Garnett for his balance of offense and defense. He is the core of the Timberwolves on both ends of the offense and defense. In the last round, he defeated Duncan, his old enemy inside, and this time he severely suppressed several new inside stars of the Suns.

This is nonsense. Everyone recognizes Garnett's excellent defense, and he even won the Defensive Player of the Year award this season, but on the offensive end, he really can't be called suppression of the Suns' interior.

Garnett averaged 24 points in both games, while Stoudemire had 25 points. He averaged 8 minutes more per game than Stoudemire.

With similar scoring data between the two, Stoudemire shot 55% from the field, while Garnett only had 43%. His data only averaged 14 rebounds and 5 assists per game, beating Stoudemire.

Garnett couldn't defeat Haslem even in a one-on-one fight. He basically didn't enter the penalty area when he was being defended, and shot from the outside again and again. In the second game, he made 10 of 23 shots, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists.

So far in the playoffs, Garnett's overall shooting percentage is only 44.6%. His shooting percentage is not high regardless of whether he is facing Duncan or Haslem. He is better when facing defenders in misplaced jump shots. He took 20.7 shots in exchange for 24.3 points. , how can we talk about dominance?

The media doesn't care about this. They just praise it first and then talk about it. The next game will be more gimmick.

Success or failure is judged by heroes. The NBA has been this way for many years, and fans also buy into it. When fans talk about their idols, they try not to mention bad games, as if they enjoy every game at the peak of their career. This will give the feeling of an epic showdown, a battle between superhuman beings.

There is always a big difference between the real NBA and the NBA in the minds of most fans.

Before advancing to 2-0, Garnett's fans went crazy with joy. Finally, the Wolf King was about to surpass Duncan.

When hard secrets discuss the game on the Internet, the most talked about topic is how bad Garnett's former teammates were, how many years he was delayed by the Timberwolves' garbage management and useless teammates, and now he has only traded for two second-rate stars. Under his leadership, the team has the strength to win the championship.

Gugliotta was the Timberwolves boss? Isn’t that a cripple who can’t even make the playoff roster in the Suns?

Marbury was an All-Star with the Timberwolves? Can such a big cancer be called a good teammate?

Billups' performance in the Timberwolves was terrible. There is nothing to say about him. He was only good after he went to the Pistons.

As for Szczerbiak, let alone this softie, being selected to the All-Star once means that the Western Conference coaches are blind.

Today is still a carnival for black pot people, and major forums are active.

Is Jason Guo still going to sing and shoot a MV now? Are all the Suns supporters stupid? Not many teams can reverse a 0-2 deficit. Jason has shown his true colors. He can't fight a tough battle. Good at brushing data.”

Offense wins the fans, and defense wins the championship. It's an unchanging truth. The Suns lose so many points per game, and it doesn't work at first glance.

It would be interesting if the Timberwolves swept the Suns. The most embarrassing MVP in history was born, and they were elected unanimously. They are a bunch of ball blinders.

With the Wolf King here, the Suns can't get past the Timberwolves. Jason Guo doesn't even dare to take key shots, so he will just pass the blame...

The fans are beginning to be pessimistic. So far, only 11 teams in NBA history have completed a comeback when trailing 0-2, and the chances are very low.

Someone else mentioned Megan, saying that this hot young lady is a disaster. Guo Xu's competitive status was affected as soon as he had a girlfriend. Most of his thoughts were not on basketball, and he must have consumed a lot of energy in bed.

Guo Xu is not pessimistic and is still confident of advancing to the finals. He doesn't believe that the Suns he leads will lose to the Timberwolves, and he doesn't believe that the Timberwolves will continue to be lucky.

On the morning of the 25th, he went to the arena to practice three-pointers and felt hot.

He had a premonition that he would end up having convulsions...Legends of Tomorrow
