Legend of Tomorrow

? The other three Suns also performed well, all scoring in double figures and shooting over 50%.

Usually there is a lack of tacit understanding between players in the All-Star Game, and they mainly rely on individual abilities to solve problems. When four people on a team are selected at the same time, it is a huge advantage because they have a good tacit understanding and can play like they did in the club.

This kind of thing also happened in Guo Xu's previous life. In the 2006 Houston All-Star Game, four Pistons players were selected together, helping the Eastern Conference to reverse a big deficit and win.

That was an All-Star game that left a deep impression on Chinese fans. Guo Xu watched the live broadcast in his previous life and was very angry.

Chinese fans were disappointed when Yao Ming did not participate due to injury. McGrady, as the only host, is the favorite for MVP. He also worked hard enough with the help of his teammates, making 15 of 26 shots and 4 of 10 three-pointers, scoring a game-high 36 points.

Despite the deliberate efforts of his teammates, it is an indisputable fact that McGrady is generally in good shape. He relies on breakthroughs to score. The lack of rebounds in the game and the fact that he made 2 of 7 free throws show that his performance is not perfect.

In the end, McGrady lost the MVP, and the Western Conference team was reversed and lost. This was mainly because the Pistons' four incomprehensible guys played very seriously and cooperated with each other to prevent the wave.

Later, two lies were spread in that All-Star Game.

First, James stole Tracy McGrady's MVP. Well, he robbed him. The Eastern Conference also robbed the Western Conference's victory. As long as teammates cooperate, do you expect your opponents to also cooperate with McGrady to win the MVP? The Western team still led by 21 points in the third quarter. With just over one quarter left, the Eastern Conference completed a 21-point reversal. This kind of victory has extremely high gold content.

The second is that Kobe is determined to help McGrady and be a green leaf. This is quite a bit like putting gold on one's face. Kobe is not a red flower to begin with, so how can he be willing to be a green leaf?

In the reversed third quarter, Kobe was guarding Wade on the court and could not keep up with Wade's rhythm. He was stunned by James and Wade's fast break. He watched helplessly as the point difference was eroded and the entire game was forced out. Made 3 turnovers and 5 fouls.

After five fouls, Kobe was still on the court at the last moment. How could he be willing to be a green leaf? It was obvious that he was risking his life but could not beat him...

Kobe's statistics in that game were 4 of 11 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, 8 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. He played a shitty game. If he had a good shooting touch, he would have taken more than 11 shots. However, because he gave McGrady four assists, Comey glorified it to the point of exaggeration. Some people even said that Kobe might have won the game if he let Kobe shoot the ball on the last attack, haha.

Guo Xu had a great time in today’s game.

He is the only red flower, the others are all green leaves.

After the game, reporters interviewed Guo Xu: When the four Suns players appeared on the court at the same time, you all cooperated very well. Do you think this is the main reason for winning?

Actually, I have a tacit understanding with Tim (Duncan), Yao Ming, and Ray Allen. I am very happy every time I participate in the All-Star Game. When I partner with geniuses, it will be easy to score or assist. This feeling marvelous.

Guo Xu gave a brief speech, thanking all temporary teammates and coach Popovich.

Popovich will not offend league officials and fans by limiting Guo Xu's playing time just because he doesn't like to see players in the limelight. But Guo Xu was really worried before the game that this old man would fight him because the Spurs also missed him in the draft that year.

Star Weekend has officially come to an end, and the home audience is a little unsatisfied because they can't support their team's stars, so it doesn't feel like a success. Funny to say, the only thing people remember about the Nuggets tonight is their mascot, the little lion Rocky. He is currently the highest paid mascot in the NBA and his performance is extraordinary.

In addition to often stepping on a spring pad to perform falling from the sky dunks, Rocky's biggest unique skill is a throw-back shot in midfield with his back to the basket. He performed it during the break and hit one of three attempts. This is amazing. The hit rate is excellent. I heard that this is one of the important reasons why Rocky’s annual salary exceeds one million.

That night, everyone from the Suns took a plane back to their home court. This time the schedule was relatively easy. There will be no game tomorrow and they will have a holiday. On the 23rd, they will face the Clippers at home.

Qiao Johnson took the rare initiative to invite Guo Xu to sit with him, saying that he wanted to discuss something with him, and Guo Xu agreed.

After getting on the plane, Joe Johnson remained expressionless and silent.

After taking off, Guo Xu took the initiative to ask: Qiao, if you have something to say, just say it. Are you thinking of the best word to express it?

Qiao Johnson smiled a little awkwardly, and Guo Xu hit home what he was thinking. He took a deep breath and whispered: Jason, I hope you can help me... brush up the data next.

In his opinion, this was something unspeakable, and his face looked even darker.

Guo Xu didn't hesitate at all and said with a smile: That's it? No problem. If you had told me earlier, I could help you refresh the data in the first half of the journey.

Joe Johnson was sluggish: ...

You are in the contract year, so you should brush up the data. Otherwise, how would you get a big contract? Brian should have talked to you and his agent about renewing the contract, right? Guo Xu never thought about helping the Suns save money.

Yes, he wanted to renew my contract in advance, but he said that the Suns could not offer me a maximum salary. I wanted to see if I could get a bigger contract, so I didn't agree. Do you think I am too greedy? Joe Johnson was a little embarrassed.

Of course not. You have the ability and you deserve a high salary. No matter whether you choose to stay in the Suns next season or go to another team to be the boss, I suggest you give it a try once in a game. I will continue to do so. If they pass the ball to you, you try to score five or sixty points.

If I were to leave the sun, wouldn't you blame me?

Why should I blame you? Who doesn't like a big contract or being a core? I played for the Lakers for two seasons, and I know how you feel. Although you and I have very different personalities, you have the ability to be a core .”

Guo Xu paused and smiled: I respect your choice, but if you leave, it will definitely be difficult to win the championship again.

Guo Xu feels that Joe Johnson's best position is to be the second in charge, but he is not qualified as the core because he doesn't like to talk and his scoring ability is not very explosive. He averages about 20 points per game. He is comprehensive but not dominant. His style of play is similar to Pierce and he needs good teammates to succeed.

Joe Johnson was silent for a while, and then said I want to try..

Guo Xu immediately understood what he was thinking, which meant that I wanted to try to be a core player instead of trying to brush up the data.

Just because Joe Johnson is taciturn doesn't mean he's a fool, it doesn't mean he has no ambition, and it doesn't mean he's an honest man. Even if he is, don't his family, friends, and management team behind him have any ambitions?

When you represent not just your own interests, but the interests of a large group of people, the issues are often much more complicated.

The current widespread public opinion is that as long as Guo Xu is next to him, any player can produce Joe Johnson's statistics. Although some media praise him and say that he is seriously underestimated, his data is not very convincing, just like Ginobili of the Spurs.

When Guo Xugang joined the Suns, he made up his mind to keep Joe Johnson, but now he has changed his mind.

First, the stubborn melon is not sweet. Joe Johnson wants to prove that he can play well and become an All-Star without Guo Xu. Second, Guo Xu also wants to prove that he has the ability to help his teammates become stronger, no matter who this person is.

You can become a star by playing next to him, what a cool label this is!
