Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 542 [Surprising transaction, possibility of breaking records]
? On the 23rd, the Suns faced the Clippers at home.
Megan Fox came back yesterday. The two of them had a little separation rather than a wedding, and Guo Xu spent a lot of energy. In this game, he deliberately reduced his shots and running, dribbling the ball halfway through the game and passing it to his teammates for assists.
He doesn't pay much attention to the scoring data this year. He just wants to improve the assist data, averaging more than 15 per game, in order to surpass Stockton in single-season average and total number and create a new historical record.
Let Iverson and Kobe compete for the scoring title. Both teams have terrible records and have nothing to pursue except scoring points.
In order to achieve his goal, Guo Xu rarely dunks this year unless there is no one to defend him. After he broke through, he basically used floor style, coupled with the parkour self-protection moves he practiced in the time loop, the chance of injury was greatly reduced. As long as the opponent doesn't deliberately give him an elbow or chase him to step up, he is safe.
In this game, Guo Xu made 3 three-pointers and scored 15 points, 17 assists and 2 steals.
Joe Johnson was very resolute in his offense and took the most shots in the team. He made 10 of 19 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. As long as he is given a chance, his performance will be eye-catching.
The other two stars of the Suns, Stoudemire Stoudemire and Marion, also scored 18 and 17 points easily. They can perform quick counterattacks and positional battles, and their shooting rates are over 50%, which is very efficient.
In Guo Xu's view, Joe Johnson's performance was still a bit speechless. He said he wanted to improve his statistics. However, he only took less than 20 shots against a team with no pressure like the Clippers. His style of play was still very reasonable.
People's habits are not easy to change. Selfish people will always be selfish, and selfless people will never become independent.
Guo Xu is an anomaly, he can switch roles freely. When he feels good and the opponent can't guard him, he will score hard in the game. And most of the time, he can selflessly provide assists...
It is really a wonderful thing that a player who likes statistics like him has been evaluated as very selfless because few people pay attention to the possession of the ball.
The 24th is the NBA’s trade deadline, and several big trades have taken place in the league.
The Warriors and the Hornets made a three-player trade. The Warriors traded guard Speedy Claxton and forward Dale Davis to the Hornets for guard Baron Davis.
Both the Hornets and Warriors have poor records this season. The Hornets' 11 wins and 43 losses rank second to last in the Western Conference, only better than the Lakers. The Warriors' record is only 16 wins and 38 losses.
This deal can be called taking advantage of the situation. The Warriors have two expiring contracts, which exactly meets the Hornets' reconstruction needs. They got an All-Star point guard at no cost.
Although Baron Davis lacks accuracy in three-point shooting, he is currently the strongest point guard in the league. He has super physical fitness and can crush most point guards against him with his body.
Davis was traded because of a conflict with Hornets coach Byron Scott. In the 2003-04 season, Scott was fired due to a conflict with Nets star point guard Jason Kidd. The conflict soon occurred after joining the Hornets.
This time the management chose to side with the head coach, not because they believed in Scott's ability, but because Davis said he no longer wanted to stay in the Hornets and wanted to play in a more promising city.
This is good news for JR Smith. The team's two main outside players have been traded away, and he should become the starter. Of course, this is just a media prediction. In Guo Xu's previous life, Smith was firmly on the bench by Scott. It was not until he had a conflict with Scott and was traded that he rose to prominence with the Nuggets.
Davis still has a four-year contract worth about $63 million, which is not high for the Warriors, who have ample salary space. After sending away Jamison, they finally ushered in a core that can lead the team's offense.
The current Warriors look quite promising, with Luol Deng, Battier, Davis, bench, and Barbosa, but it's just a bit worse without Dampier on the inside.
Battier and Luol Deng have overlapping positions and will be free agents after this season. The Warriors may not renew his contract. Battier's current evaluation is not as good as in his previous life, but it shouldn't be difficult to get a mid-level contract.
The Magic completed a three-player trade with the Kings, trading Old Cat Mobley and forward Michael Bradley for Doug Christie, who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team many times.
The trade stung Steve Francis, who began his NBA career with Mobley on the Rockets and continues to this day. He publicly expressed his dissatisfaction, saying: This news makes it difficult for me to play well. He is my brother. You must know that I have fought side by side with him throughout my NBA career.
In fact, there has never been any good results from Fu and Lao Mao playing side by side. They only played in the playoffs once. Magic is asking for direction by throwing stones, and the next step is to send Francis away.
The trade between the 76ers and the Kings was the most surprising at the deadline.
The Kings sent Chris Webber, Wesley Persson, and Mike Bradley to the 76ers, and acquired Kenny Thomas, Collis Williamson, and Brian Skinner from the 76ers.
It's not surprising that Webber was traded. Kings general manager Petry has always wanted to find a suitable buyer for Webber. The feud between Webber and Stojakovic has become public knowledge, and only one of the two stars can stay with the Kings.
What's puzzling is that the three people the Kings exchanged are so bad, they are just helping the 76ers clean up junk contracts.
These three are in poor shape this season, and all have long-term contracts. The Kings did not reduce salary pressure through this transaction, but just sent Webber away.
Thomas has five years and $39 million left on his contract; Corliss has two years and $12.5 million left on his contract; and Skinner has one year and $490 left on his contract. This is not bad, but he is useless, averaging 2 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
With Weber leaving, Peja's position as the team's boss is unshakable and his transfer request should be over.
After the trade, many experts are optimistic that the 76ers will return to the championship ranks, although they are currently only ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers' lineup looks to be outstanding in the Eastern Conference, with two All-Stars, excellent pitchers, and two potential rookies in Iguodala and Dalembert.
76ers fans also believe that there will be few teams in the Eastern Conference that can win them reliably. What they lack now is just a good center.
After the Suns training, a reporter mentioned several transactions in an interview, but Guo Xu refused to comment. He was heartbroken.
In his opinion, none of these teams pose a threat, especially the 76ers, who may not even make the playoffs this season, let alone compete for the championship. Because the Hawks and Bucks are stronger than in their previous lives, they will definitely lock in a playoff spot. The 76ers have to compete with the Nets, who were far behind in the early stage and lacked core Kidd, and the Cavaliers, led by James and Boozer, for the last spot in the playoffs.
It is rare for the competition in the Eastern Conference to be so fierce. Guo Xu is more optimistic about the Cavaliers reaching the playoffs, because James is the one currently being promoted by the league, and Iverson's personality overlaps with Guo Xu's.
The Suns have not made any trades, and no players on the team have asked to leave the team.
None of them are stupid, and no one gives up the chance to be part of a dynasty team just to be a backup on a bad team. Moreover, the fringe players' playing time is too short, and they have no confidence that they will be able to produce good data if they leave the Suns and go to other teams.
Everyone admires Guo Xu as a veteran, and with two veterans in charge, Payton and Kukoc, the atmosphere in the Suns locker room is very good, everyone makes progress together, and there is harmony.
The Suns' best record in the regular season has been stabilized, and there is still the possibility of breaking the record...
