Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 550 [Seventy-five wins and seven losses, winning the best]

? In the game against the Clippers, the team helped Marion improve a wave of statistics, because the Clippers' two starting insiders could not run fast, and Marion had an obvious advantage in starting at the 4th position and playing small ball tactics. Moreover, the fourth master has already been brushed once, can the third master only do the dirty work?

Although Marion couldn't guard the Clippers' star power forward Elton Brand, D'Antoni didn't make substitutions. He just wanted to create mismatches to counterattack and score points.

Defense? Is it useful against the Clippers?

The Clippers are still in decline this season. Last summer, the lineup seemed pretty good. They drafted talented high school student Shaun Livingston and poached the Nets' 1996 golden generation swingman, Mosquito Corey Jeter. ers.

As a result, Kittles was reimbursed for the season in 11 games, and Livingston was reimbursed for the season after playing 30 games. Insider Wilcox was in poor condition due to injury, playing and resting, and injuries continued.

His teammates not only helped Marion score, but also helped him rebound, blocking people so that he could easily pick up rebounds. This method is indispensable no matter who rebounds. What's more, Marion predicts the direction of the ball very accurately and bounces amazingly?

The Clippers' defense is always a beat slow, and Guo Xu counterattacks. The Clippers' 201CM point guard Yalic cannot keep up with the speed and is easily passed. Insider Brand is slow, and center Kaman is even more stuck and slow.

Unfortunately, Marion's shooting touch was unstable and he mainly relied on air cuts and fast breaks. In the end, he only scored a large double-double of 32 points, 26 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

The 26 rebounds in a single game set a new career high for Marion. The previous record was 23 in a single game.

Guo Xu played 35 minutes, scored 17 points and provided 22 assists.

The away game against the Warriors is also a simple game. This time it is everyone's turn to help Stoudemire improve his statistics. It is only fair that everyone comes to play. Guo Xu is providing assists in every game, and everyone has no objection. Without him, the offense would not be as smooth as it is.

The Warriors' starting center is Troy Murphy, a softie who can only pull out to shoot, and the power forward is veteran Clifford Robinson. They can't guard the penalty area at all. Adonal Foyle is blue-collar defensively and terrible offensively.

Even after trading for Baron Davis, the Warriors are still a weak team unless they defend the interior.

Stoudemire scored 46 points, 13 rebounds and no assists. He dunked 7 times, and he nearly pulled down the Warriors' home rim. It's a pity that this game is not broadcast live in the United States, and he is not impressive enough.

Guo Xu scored 23 points and 20 assists.

20+ consecutive assists.

If it hadn't been too easy to win against the Lakers, Guo Xu might have had 20+ assists in four consecutive games. His average number of assists per game has reached 15.5. As long as he keeps it up, he can break the record.

Guo Xu has been elected as the best player in the Western Conference for three consecutive months, and has won the best player of the week more times. Even if his teammates perform well, they cannot steal his limelight.

On March 11, the Suns' 20-game winning streak came to an end when they lost to the Rockets at home 118-127.

This Rockets offense went crazy. McGrady had 38 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Bell, Marion, and Howard couldn't guard him. He just hit everyone. For a player with McGrady's style, double-teaming by outsiders is of little use, and he still can't block shots.

Yao Ming made 11 of 18 shots and 7 of 8 free throws. He efficiently scored 27 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks, beating Stoudemire. He was in equally brave form.

Yao Ming's weight gain is unnecessary. He can now guard the penalty area. He is a heavy inside line weighing more than 130 kilograms. With his lower body strength, apart from having a hard time guarding O'Neal, he has no pressure to deal with others. On the offensive end, Yao Ming mainly relies on shooting. Instead of squeezing to the basket and dunking like O'Neal, he only needs to be able to protect the ball and turn around.

The Rockets no longer need Yao Ming to defend pick-and-rolls. He just plays center, and Mutombo is the substitute. The starting power forward Juwan Howard has a mid-range shot that can stretch the field, and the substitute is Ryan Bowen, who is good at defense and was a teammate of Guo Xu in the Lakers.

The Rockets' weakness is still the point guard. Although they dug up Bob Sura without much effort, Van Gundy made him a defensive black hole in the starting lineup. He moves too slowly and can easily be passed. Guo Xu scored 45 points and 8 assists in this game, but his teammates' touch was poor and many opportunities were wasted.

After defeating the Bulls, the Suns lost to the Heat on the road.

O'Neal, Wade, Eddie Jones and others performed outstandingly. Guard Damon Jones hit 4 three-pointers. In the end, they won 123 to 116 and defeated the Suns with all their offense.

Guo Xu's big double-double did not help, and the Heat attacked more fiercely. The Heat can still play without Haslem. They introduced another player at the 4th position in the summer and performed well.

This person is the Bulls' tattooed man Marcus Fizer. He was originally selected by the Bobcats and wanted a mid-level contract, but he was given up after negotiations failed. What qualifications does a player who has never played in the playoffs have to ask for a high salary? When the Bulls were in trouble, he averaged only 25.8 minutes per game at his peak, averaging 12.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists.

After Feizer was given up, other teams were unwilling to give him a mid-level offer, and finally chose to join the Heat with a minimum salary. As a result, he successfully lost weight after training with the Heat for a period of time and performed well as a substitute.

As a short power forward, Fizer can defend the pick-and-roll, and can also catch and shoot after the offensive pick-and-roll. He can occasionally play center as well as Baxter, the two stocky inside players.

The Suns didn't lose again in March, and staged a classic run-and-gun battle at the end of the month, defeating the Nash-led Hawks by 8 points.

Guo Xu scored 31 points and 20 assists. This was the fifth 30+20 game in his career, continuing to set a new historical record.

Nash can imitate the Suns' style of play, but his personal ability is not as good as Guo Xu's, and he obviously suffers in one-on-one situations. The Suns' inside strength is also better than that of the Hawks, and they can win steadily with their offense.

The Hawks were swept 2-0 by the Suns in the regular season. Nash still can't pass Guo Xu unless he has better teammates.

In Guo Xu's previous life, if Nash's one-on-one ability was stronger or his defense was better, the Suns would have won the championship. He is limited by his physical fitness and cannot dominate the court in one-on-one situations. This is not because the fans say he is not strong offensively.

When facing Guo Xu, Nash wanted to win very much but couldn't. Guo Xu's style obviously restrained him.

Entering the first game in April, the Suns VS Trail Blazers.

Trail Blazers power forward Darko Milicic played 37 minutes and scored a double-double with 25 points and 11 rebounds. His performance this season has been outstanding. He has replaced Randolph's position in his previous life. With the ball, he can take bold shots and take on more offensive tasks.

The goal of the Trail Blazers this season is to mess up the game. The main tactic is the pick-and-roll between Little Flying Squirrel Stoudemire and Milicic. As long as the Little Flying Squirrel cannot break through, it will be passed to Milicic in the middle.

Milicic averaged 35.8 minutes per game, scoring 17.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 blocks. He has a vague shadow of a star. His style of play is similar to Bosh, and his physical fitness is better than that of the Raptors' Bosh.

Currently, Pistons fans are calling for Larry Brown to be dismissed from get out of class. Milicic, a physical insider, is just a marginal person guarding the water cooler in the Pistons, without any training.

Milicic's statistics this season are better than Rasheed Wallace's, and he looks more promising regardless of age or quality.

This month, the Suns continued to win, and almost all teams couldn't stand it. They swept the Mavericks and Spurs, two powerful Texas teams, in the regular season.

On April 7, the Suns lost their seventh game away to the Grizzlies. They won the subsequent games, with a final record of 75 wins and 7 losses. The Suns won the best record in the regular season for two consecutive seasons, and Guo Xu won all the Western Conference Player of the Month awards.

Experts predict that he is likely to win the MVP for the third time...
