Legend of Tomorrow

After practicing, Guo Xu came home and found that Megan was not there. He opened his backpack and found missed calls and text messages on his phone.

Buddy has heatstroke. I'll take him to the hospital. You can eat outside at noon.

Guo Xu sighed, feeling that it was really troublesome. At first, he was a little disgusted with raising a dog like a husky, but this was a gift from Meghan's parents and it was hard to refuse.

The husky is a creature that cannot take any time off. Not only does it tear down its home, but even the scorching summer heat cannot stop it from loving to go out and play.

The temperature in Phoenix was obviously not suitable for hanging out during the day, so they shaved Buddy's hair. After shaving, it grew as long as a donkey. Buddy has been honest for two days, but it seems that he can no longer face his dog's birth, he doesn't cooperate with taking photos, and his meals are not good.

In order to prevent his psychological shadow, Megan often spoke to Buddy, praising him that he is actually very handsome like this. I wonder if this guy can really understand human speech. He started to go out to play again, and he also liked to play at noon. time to go out and play.

Today, it finally suffered from heat stroke...

Guo Xu went to a nearby restaurant to buy some portable food, and then went to the veterinary hospital to have dinner with Megan.

Guo Xu laughed out loud when he saw Buddy lying lifeless and dripping with fluids.

When Meghan saw him bringing her food, she was moved at first, and then pursed her lips: Buddy is in such a miserable state, and you still laugh?

Haha, I suddenly feel that this is a sign. The Huskies are destined to be no match for the sun. I will go to the Huskies' home game next. Having seen more supernatural powers, Guo Xu believes in metaphysics more than anyone else.

...

The Timberwolves are called the Huskies, not because they changed their LOGO in 2017, but because of their poor performance.

The Timberwolves, who joined the NBA in 1989, only achieved a poor record of 22 wins and 60 losses in the first season. Since then, the team has won less than 30 games in the regular season for seven consecutive years. In 1995, the Timberwolves selected high school player Garnett with the fifth overall pick in the first round. The team made a historic breakthrough in the 1996-97 season and entered the playoffs for the first time. After that, they could not get past the first round for many years. .

Reaching the Western Conference Finals this time is the best record in the team's history. They finally look like the Timberwolves.

Nan An, a young white female veterinarian, came forward and asked gossiping: Jason,

It turns out that the news is not made up, you and Meghan are really a couple. Why haven't you made it public?

Megan took Buddy to see the veterinarian twice alone, and also bought some things here. It was not far from home, and she met Nan An.

In Phoenix City, everyone knows Guo Xu, he is the biggest star in the city, and people are also curious about who his girlfriend is. Nan An asked Megan before, but she did not admit it.

Guo Xu explained with a smile: Because she was not well-known before, she was just an ordinary little actor in Hollywood. I'm afraid that making it public will put a lot of pressure on her. After this season, we will make it public.

That's so considerate. Nan An patted his chest, showing an envious look. Can I take a picture with you?

Of course, you can also bring it with you. Guo Xu pointed at Buddy.

There was a digital camera in the Nan'an store, and they took many photos together, with the depressed Buddy acting as an emoticon.

Because of Buddy's incident, Guo Xu was in a good mood and very relaxed when he went to catch the special plane in the evening. However, the atmosphere within the Suns team was not very good. Teammates did not chat much, and falling behind 2-0 brought psychological pressure to the young players.

The coaching staff must boost morale before the game starts, but I don't know how useful it will be. Colangelo and his son are also somewhat pessimistic about the Suns' prospects, mainly because the players are young and the Timberwolves are not afraid of run-and-gun tactics most of the time.

If they continue to use run-and-gun tactics, it will be difficult for the Suns to defeat the Timberwolves, which will allow their opponents to take advantage of their defensive strengths.

Lineups have always existed. In Guo Xu's previous life, famous examples include the underdog Bobcats who were able to defeat the peak Lakers in 2009 and 2010 for two consecutive seasons, and swept them in one of the seasons; the Warriors who achieved a record-breaking 73 wins in the 2015-16 season. An upset loss to the last-place Lakers and so on.

The Suns had to adjust their tactics and lineup. After getting on the plane, D'Antoni invited Guo Xu to sit together and chatted with him about tactics.

Jason, I'm going to adjust my tactics tomorrow night. You need to change your style of play.

What tactic? Guo Xu asked.

I'm going to let Nene, Amare, and Joe start together. Joe will be responsible for organizing. You will increase your movement without the ball, run to catch the ball and shoot directly, or look for misplaced singles opportunities. In this way, the two insiders can hit the basket together and cause damage. . Before, our inside line was mainly mid-range shots, which lacked a strong energy. D'Antoni explained.

Lack of strength is a euphemism. The truth is that Guo Xu passed the ball a lot in the first two games. He wanted to drive the team's offense like he did in the regular season, but he failed to do so. The performance of young players in this series has been disappointing, and their outside shots have not been very accurate.

Not only the young players, Marion's performance as the team's second leader was also unsatisfactory. He didn't dare to shoot from beyond the three-point line, and he also missed the last key open mid-range shot.

Marion missed 5 open shots in the game. He would win if he hit just one sun shot from the outside. He might not even be able to reach the end of the game if he scored two three-pointers. The mentality of the Timberwolves players had already broken down and they were unable to chase points.

Role players missed opportunities to expand their advantage time and time again when they were leading. After a meeting and discussion, the coaching staff felt that if they continued like this, the young role players might kill the Suns. It would be better to arrange more extreme tactics to maximize Guo Xu's ability. Scoring ability, try to let him score super statistics to kill the Timberwolves.

Use reliable people to assist Guo Xu in other positions, changing the rotation from 10 to 8 to increase playing time.

In the regular season last season, Guo Xu had a huge double-double and super statistics against the Timberwolves. At that time, Timberwolves point guard Troy Hudson was still at his peak.

The little crazy Hudson, who is 185cm tall and weighs 77kg, received a full mid-level contract in the summer and only played 29 games in the regular season before being reimbursed for the season. Because he is very fast, the effect of defending Guo Xu alone is better than Cassel. Guo Xu was able to score super statistics against the Timberwolves last season, and he should be able to do so now, as long as the tactics are right.

Guo Xuxiao asked: Do I have unlimited rights to attack? Can I attack however I want?

You can make appropriate adjustments depending on how good your hand feels. If your hand feels good, you can shoot 40 times. I allow you to play selfishly, and the team needs you to do the same. D'Antoni said sternly.

Judging from the team's performance in the first two games, even if Guo Xu's shooting percentage is only 45%, he is more reliable than many teammates in 40 shots. Sometimes, good choices on the court may not necessarily lead to good results.

Guo Xu's choice has always been correct. To attract double-teams, he should try his best to get the ball into open spaces, but his teammates have to make shots. If he can't make a shot, he won't get a good evaluation. People will say that he doesn't dare to shoot at critical moments and shirks the blame.

Guo Xu knows this very well. In his previous life, James had a higher hit rate on key shots than Kobe, but James was labeled as taking the blame at critical moments while Kobe was labeled as King of Killers!

In the eyes of many people, stars must take more shots. As long as they dare to shoot, a shooting rate of less than 30% can be the King of Winners, even if it is their own team that kills most of the games...

Guo Xu smiled confidently. give it to me.

The unlimited-shot style of play is exactly what he wants. In the previous playoffs, he wanted to help his teammates perform and played more selflessly.

Now he has come to the conclusion that it is really difficult for an organization-oriented point guard to lead a team to victory. As long as the touch is hot enough, Curry's wild throwing method from the outside is easier to win. legends of tomorrow
