Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 583 [Broken new lineup, surpassing Jordan in the Western Conference Finals]
Sign Josh Powell, he will definitely adapt to the Suns' system. Guo Xu suggested.
Who? Brian heard this name, and his reaction was similar to the reaction of aliens when they heard Star-Lord.
Josh Powell... Guo Xu rolled his eyes. Have the scouts not paid attention to this guy? He is very mobile and can catch and shoot. This kind of person is needed for run-and-gun tactics. Are they all looking at blue-collar workers?
Does he have NBA experience? Brian smiled awkwardly.
Guo Xu smiled and said: No, but just choose him, don't think about it anymore. The regular horse racing is about to start, and we have no better choice. As for Brian Grant recommended by Earl (the scout), don't look at it His reputation before he was pardoned, he couldn't play football at all.
Okay, it's up to you.
Brian is aware of the current situation. As Guo Xu said, all the capable insiders have signed contracts. They have no choice at all, so why are they hesitating?
When Josh Powell got the call from Brian, he was already ready to go to Europe to play. He was so happy. Just looking at his previous resume, he has nothing outstanding and can only be described as a failure.
Powell, who was born on January 25, 1983, played for North Carolina State University in college and averaged 12+5 per game in his sophomore season. He participated in the NBA draft in 2003, but unfortunately lost. He then went to Europe to play, practiced hard for two years and then applied to run again, but was defeated again.
Being able to open the back door to participate in two drafts and go undrafted twice, Powell created a strange record in NBA history.
The reason why no one cares about him is because he is one of those neither three nor four players. He has no skills as a small forward, his offensive ability with the ball is basically zero, his shooting range is also awkward, and he has no three-pointers. If he plays power forward or center, his confrontation ability is not good, so he can only rely on his hard work to hold on.
Of course, Powell also has advantages. He is very mobile in the 4th position and has a stable mid-range shot. In his previous life, he scored almost entirely from mid-range shots. He established himself in the NBA, played for seven seasons, and won two championships with the Lakers as a substitute in 2009 and 2010.
After Powell left the NBA, he played in China's CBA for two seasons. His mid-range shooting was still accurate. He averaged 30.6 minutes per game at his peak, scoring 15 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists, and shooting 58.8% from the field.
Guo Xu's selection is very targeted. Powell's personal ability is not strong but he is suitable for the Suns. On the offensive end, he can run, catch the ball in open spaces and shoot the ball.
On the defensive end, he has to work harder and not be allowed to play casually. The team does not need such an undrafted rookie to take on too many tasks.
Each game lasts for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the main players to take a break.
This is the advantage of the reborn players. Even if they are in a very bad predicament, Guo Xu can still find a more reliable player to put out the fire. Powell's style is definitely better than signing a veteran inside player.
In addition to being young, he is also a good team player and does not mess around. Because he has been training in Europe for two years, people who do not have a team in Europe cannot play at all. They pay attention to constant sharing of the ball. The player statistics are not very good, but they can win when they play.
The Suns successfully signed a contract with Powell, who didn't even have an agent yet and was satisfied with a basic salary.
Since the retired players also account for the team's quota, the Suns' 15-man lineup is now full.
Center: Stoudemire, Nene (injury), Anderson Varejao, David Lee.
Power forward: Haslem, Kukoc, Powell.
Small forward: Marion, James Jones, Trevor Ariza.
Shooting guards: Josh Howard, Raja Bell.
Point guard: Guo Xu, Gary Payton, Steve Blake.
When Nenei was injured, Taiyang was already falling against the wall and pushed by everyone. All major media are not optimistic about it, fans are pessimistic, and celebrities are popping up to increase their presence. Now that the Sun's adversity has erupted, it's a joke.
Pippen is the best. In a previous interview, he predicted that the Suns would not make the playoffs.
Pi Er has disliked the Suns and Guo Xu for several years. He is the person who most wants to preserve the Bulls' 72-10 regular season record. When the Lakers won three consecutive championships, he disliked O'Neal, belittled O'Neal, and said that he Hug the thigh, there are many helpers.
At that time, he was furiously criticized by fans online. Yes, Jordan has no helpers. Pippen, Rodman, and Harper are nothing. Especially Pippen, who is far inferior to Kobe.
During the preseason, Pippen gloated that the Suns had injured two generals, and then began to belittle Guo Xu, saying that he had more helpers and a group of stars around him had only won two championships. It would be impossible without outstanding inside teammates.
Jason Guo will reveal his true level this season. Pippen said seriously: Let Michael lead this Suns, he will not be able to win the championship, at most he will reach the second round of the playoffs. Jason Without Amare and Nene, just like the Lakers without O'Neal last season, it will be difficult to reach the playoffs.
It is precisely because Pippen is so unfavorable about the Suns that Guo Xu said the words our goal is to fail a few days ago.
This made headlines and became a big joke on the Internet. When reporters wanted to interview Pippen again and asked him to comment on why the Suns were 6-1 in the preseason, Pippen refused to comment and remained silent.
Many fans online laugh at Pippen, and he gets slapped in the face every time he predicts it.
Not only did the Suns' attention not decrease due to the reimbursement of the Twin Towers, but it actually increased. Fans all over the world want to see whether Guo Xu can lead the Suns, which even Jordan can't lead, to complete a counterattack.
Pi Er is not mocking Guo Xu, but trying to trick Jordan. What he may want to express is Jordan can't do it without Pippen, but what if Guo Xu leads the team to the Western Conference Finals? Entering the Western Conference Finals to surpass Jordan?
Jordan has always refused to be interviewed. He plans to wait until the regular season begins before commenting, and wait until the Suns are really bad before adding insult to injury.
This is a very smart approach. Which person you want to blackmail is best done with the benefit of hindsight. Jordan seemed cool without commenting, and a group of fans praised him. This was the disdain of the basketball god, and now they are all ruined by Pippen.
When encountering pig teammates, God is helpless.
Also helpless is David Stern. He wants to take advantage of the Suns' injuries to win over the Cavaliers and Little Emperor James, but it still looks difficult now.
Under these conditions, even if the Suns don't have the best record and only finish second in the Western Conference, Guo Xu will take the initiative in the MVP selection. If the Suns can win like this, will other teams still have a way to survive in the future? Is there still competition in this league?
Stern and assistant Adam Silva both had a hunch that the Suns' record this season would be the same. If Guo Xu led the team and added run-and-gun tactics, most underdogs would not be able to beat them. As a result, the media promoted Stoudemire as a superstar in the summer and said that the Suns could not survive without Stoudemire, which may have promoted Guo Xu even higher.
The first official strength list was released, and the Suns ranked second behind the Spurs. The two teams have the same record.
Many basketball experts fell silent, and those who had been silent before began to point out that the Suns could still win the Pacific Division championship.
The other teams in this district have had disappointing preseasons, and no one seems to be able to threaten the Suns. As long as they win the division championship, they can lock in the top three in the Western Conference and have home court advantage in the first round.
The Kings had 3 wins and 4 losses in the preseason and sent away Chris Webber. Peja Stojakovic did not show leadership qualities and his condition was worse than last season.
Building a team around a big shooter is nonsense. Peja is not the kind of star who can attract double-teams and assist his teammates. He is just a scorer who relies on shooting, similar to Szczerbiak of the Timberwolves.
The Lakers' 4 wins and 3 losses in the preseason are not bad, but negative news broke... ()
