Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 560 [Fighting celebrities and advancing to the finals]

? Before the start of the third game of the Grizzlies VS Suns, almost all the sports media were discussing Guo Xu.

Guo Xu didn't think much when he received the MVP trophy, and he didn't compare himself with anyone, but what D'Antoni said pushed him to the forefront, causing dissatisfaction among a group of celebrities.

There are too many gods that are praised in the NBA, and there are obviously not enough gods. Those celebrities from forty or fifty years ago have jumped out to point out their presence and make their presence felt, otherwise the fans will completely forget them.

But as an old-timer, it would really make people feel uncomfortable if they keep talking nonsense over and over again.

Guo Xu's style of play and the small ball era he ushered in are undoubtedly not liked by old-school players and coaches. In their view, someone of Guo Xu's height and seemingly incompetent ability is not qualified to compare with them at any time. They prefer players like James.

In fact, the reason why celebrities hate Guo Xu is not because he said something bad or did something wrong, but because defenders like him have achieved great success, which has impacted the traditional thinking of celebrities and stolen everyone's limelight.

In the eyes of many seniors, Guo Xu's playing style is not manly at all. In fact, if everyone talks with their fists, none of them can beat Guo Xu. After all, none of them have ever boxed professionally.

The Suns won 117-102 on the road and led 3-0 with a total score.

Guo Xu scored 41 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. This time the Grizzlies guarded the inside. Guo Xu increased his one-on-one shots and once again defeated Jason Williams, leading the team to win the game.

After the game, a reporter talked about the celebrity's low opinion of Guo Xu. Unlike before, he chose to respond positively.

How did those players train 40 or 50 years ago? How did they eat? Does anyone know this? I really want to learn about it now, because players 50 years ago were taller, stronger, faster, It’s more flexible. Star players like me may not be able to enter the league, and modern role players may not be qualified to serve as their sparring partners.”

Reporters won't answer this question, and they don't need to answer it. How could the physical fitness of people in that era be better than now? Even if there are a few people with outstanding physical fitness, the overall situation cannot compare with modern times.

A reporter asked: Are you saying that you are better than retired celebrities?

Guo Xu shook his head and smiled: I didn't say that, don't frame me. But I can tell you, 50 years from now, how will I evaluate the stars of 2050? The league is no longer good, you are all scum. Damn it, if I play in this era,

I will definitely be able to average 40+20 points per game. My seniors are even better now, averaging 100 points per game.

The reporters in the venue were stunned for a few seconds. Every era of BA has a few madmen, but Guo Xu is the first one who dares to criticize celebrities like this.

One moment, another moment, now Guo Xu is very confident, no need to be polite anymore.

This year's Suns lineup is terrifyingly strong. Unless the other strong teams in the league start teaming up in advance to form the Big Three or Big Four, how can they compete with them? This year's Suns are the Big Four lineup.

Guo Xu has been the MVP of the regular season three times in a row. As long as the Suns win the championship again, he will hold four championship rings, which will surpass most people in NBA history. Those celebrities who dislike him, except Jordan, who can compare with him? More honors?

Guo Xu believes that the Suns are 100% sure to win the championship this year, so why should he be polite? Let the celebrities who directly speak out criticize him, and then he will slap these people in the face with his results.

He has a huge advantage, and that is his age. He is still playing in the NBA and has unlimited possibilities in the future. Retired stars simply can't prove that they can do it in this era, they can only play lip service. Guo Xu does not believe that fans will choose to side with retired people.

Sure enough, online fans started discussing that night, and most of them sided with Guo Xu.

Guo Xu even listed his shortcomings for the fans. If anyone really thinks that the physical fitness of Robertson and his gang is better than it is now, posting a post to support them is simply showing off their IQ.

As for celebrities being angry, they deserve it. They were the ones who started to make trouble every time, and Guo Xu didn't fight back. Who could blame this group of people who kept looking for trouble and finally brought trouble to themselves? Guo Xu can't just keep talking and respecting these people who have never met, had dinner or chatted with each other, right?

The Grizzlies continue to play at home, and the fourth game is a battle for honor.

It's useless. The Grizzlies lose the same way in every game. The two bears performed well in the paint. The swingman and point guard were guarded. The Suns blossomed more and scored both inside and outside, opening up the score little by little. , had the last laugh.

113 to 101, the Suns swept the Grizzlies 4 to 0 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

Guo Xu averaged 28 points and 15 assists per game in the series. Williams had nothing to do with him from beginning to end. The two faced off during the counterattack, and even the physical confrontation was a white chocolate disadvantage.

The Grizzlies management was completely desperate for Williams. He had never played at a star level in the playoffs. The point guard Mike Bibby, whom the Grizzlies traded to the Kings, performed very well, although he was never selected to the All-Stars. , but the offense is much more reliable than Williams.

At the press conference, Gasol praised Guo Xu with a hint of regret in his tone.

He had heard about the Lakers almost trading with the Grizzlies. If he had partnered with Guo Xu, he might have won the championship by now. He had never experienced what it was like to partner with a top defender.

The other Western Conference series was tied at 2-2, with each side winning two home games.

Almost everyone is optimistic that the Suns will win the championship, because the SuperSonics' record in the regular season is not very good, but they can still compete with the Spurs, and the two teams will definitely not get any advantage against the Suns.

After two more games, the Spurs first won the Tianwangshan battle at home, and then narrowly defeated the SuperSonics 98-96 on the road, advancing to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4-2.

Unlike when the two teams met in 2003, the media and fans were overwhelmingly optimistic about the Suns. Many people believed that the Spurs would win if they were not swept.

The Eastern Heat swept the Wizards 4-0, and the Pacers defeated the Hawks 4-2 to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. There were no upsets this year, and the semi-finals were exactly the same as the experts predicted before the game.

On May 22, the Western Conference Finals started in Phoenix. The Suns beat the Spurs 2-0 cleanly and went to the away game with a huge advantage.

The Spurs played harder at home, but there was nothing they could do against the Suns. They lost two games in a row and were swept out 0-4.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Spurs eliminated the Suns led by Nash 4-1. Although they could not guard Stoudemire, allowing Stoudemire to average 37 points per game, Parker's performance was not inferior to Nash's and was able to compete with each other. Coupled with the fact that Joe Johnson was injured by Stackhouse in the series against the Mavericks, the Suns did not have the strongest lineup to play.

The Suns lineup in this life is much stronger than in the previous life. Stoudemire is still brave, Joe Johnson is not injured, and Spurs forward defensive expert Bruce Bowen doesn't know who he should deal with.

In his previous life, Parker scored high points almost every time he met Nash, but when he faced Guo Xu, he was at a disadvantage almost every time. He couldn't use his biggest weapon to break through, and could only score in mid-range shots.

The Spurs don't have an advantage in any position, and even Duncan's statistics are inferior to Stoudemire. How did they win against the Suns?

The Suns swept three consecutive rounds and entered the holidays waiting for the Eastern Conference teams to break out. The Eastern Conference finals ended in a 2-2 tie, and experts predicted that both sides would have to play a tiebreaker.

The Suns, like the Lakers in the 2001 playoffs, have to rest for at least ten days this holiday...()
