Legend of Tomorrow

After the game, a New Orleans reporter who disliked Guo Xu stirred up the controversial topic. He felt that Guo Xu did not work hard on defense and deliberately used statistics to bully the rookie.

As a Hornets fan, he is afraid that Guo Xu's style of play will affect Paul's mentality and thus his future development. Paul is now the Hornets' hope.

As we all know, scoring high points against strong teams can better reflect the ability of a star. Most of your high-scoring games this season have been against weak teams. When you play against strong teams, the data is worse. How do you explain this?

Without thinking about it, Guo Xu smiled and said: A tough life does not need to be explained. Barkley often said that I brushed up the statistics, and you are not the first person to see it. You are right, I did have statistics when I beat the underdogs. It's better because their defense is worse. In order to be able to play for a while, I like to be lazy on defense when I'm playing against weak teams. That's it. Do you still have any questions?

Uh... The white reporter was at a loss for words. Guo Xu admitted so happily that he didn't even know how to answer the question.

The reporter next to him asked: Aren't you afraid that doing this will affect the team's morale and the harmony of the locker room?

My teammates have a good temper. They didn't even think of teaming up to beat me up. You know, at home Megan calls me 'Guo Bufang'. Guo Xu smiled and pointed at the two questions. Male reporter. Are you dissatisfied with me? If you have any ideas, why don't you tell me and let everyone listen, but I'm afraid I can't meet your requirements.

The two local reporters were so red in the face that they couldn't say anything. Reporters from other media directly pointed their cameras at them, thinking that this was big news.

What ideas could they have? It is nothing more than hoping that Guo Xu will not admit to brushing the data, and then list his data and make a few black sentences when reporting on the game, saying that he is hypocritical.

This is a consistent routine of the media. Guo Xu saw it a lot when he was a fan in his previous life. He first made a highlight of James' diving, and then asked James if he had dived. First find a video of Thunder teammates dodging rebounds, and then ask Westbrook if he is brushing up data for a triple-double.

Those two people have always refused to admit it, but Guo Xu is not that kind of hypocritical person. There are few players in NBA history who are more honest than him. I am very proud of it, no matter what you say.

After a full 10 seconds of silence, Guo Xu smiled and said, Let others ask questions. It's so funny. Their expressions seemed like they were bullied by me. They were clearly questioning me.

There was a burst of laughter in the venue, and these two colleagues were really making a joke.

Recently, almost no reporters questioned Guo Xu at press conferences. The Suns have won 10 consecutive games with their remaining lineup, and Guo Xu is still the most popular star.

With countless fans backing him, questioning him now is just to make himself uncomfortable.

Excellent reporters are useless. Once Guo Xu's data drops and his record drops sharply, that's the time for them to add insult to injury. Both sports reporters and entertainment reporters are good at doing this. Many celebrities are driven crazy by them like this.

The next topic turned to entertainment, and many people asked him how his singing practice was going.

Guo Xu said that he was under a lot of pressure, with too many competitions and a tight schedule. He had very little time to practice singing and could only find time to practice. But he will try his best to act well and not screw it up. The crew is assisted by professional people. Wilson came from Broadway and is familiar with all processes. Now it can attract a lot of attention.

Guo Xu also gave high praise to rookie point guard Chris Paul. He is very promising, very promising. I am optimistic that he will become an All-Star in the future. All he needs is to accumulate experience. I believe that our duels will be more intense and interesting in the future.

After the press conference, online fans started a heated discussion.

Some people questioned Guo Xu's professional attitude, while some insiders thought he was cool and used his ultimate move, If you say he can't do it, if you can, go ahead!

Jason said that points should be brushed. Others should brush up if they have the ability. Why can't they brush them up? Iverson and Kobe are the stars closest to his statistics. Their team record can't even make it to the playoffs. Those two are the best ones, right?

I want to ask a question, which team is not an underdog compared with the Suns? The Suns have the best record in the remaining team. When the two All-Stars come back, is it fair to other teams that Jason Guo has to retire directly?

Jason's statistics when playing on strong teams are usually compared with his own. Compared with others, he is still the best.

After reading the news, president David Stern was helpless.

He hopes that the competition in the NBA will be more intense. He does not want to see one company dominate. Guo Xu and the remaining Suns can win. What competition is there next? It is estimated that everyone is optimistic about the Suns winning the championship next season, and they are indeed capable of winning the championship. What about other teams? A collective mess?

On December 14th, the Suns defeated the Mavericks 113-97 in an away game for their 11th consecutive victory. People who said Guo Xu had squandered statistics were dumbfounded again.

Guo Xu didn't take many shots in this game, but his shooting percentage was super high. He made 11 of 15 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 18 assists, and 4 steals.

The person who took the most shots was Josh Howard, who made 17 of 30 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored a career-high 42 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Mavericks' wing defense is very weak, even weaker than Guo Xu's previous life, with one less Howard and one more Joey Graham. The Mavericks' lineup was not complete in this game, and Stackhouse was absent due to injury.

Guo Xu launched a run-and-gun counterattack and passed a lot of balls to Howard. The ugly brother had obvious advantages. He had a high success rate in one-on-one battles with Graham and Daniels. The second-in-command of the Mavericks in his previous life actually became their victim. .

Now the scapegoats are completely unable to criticize Guo Xu for playing alone and improving statistics. An independent person will let his third-year teammates shoot 30 goals? As the No. 1 pick, Bogut has never made 20 shots in a single game with the Lakers. The 76ers' first-round pick Danny Granger was even worse. He was a blue-collar perimeter defender and could hardly catch the ball.

To criticize Guo Xu is to say that Howard, who almost fell to the second round in the draft, is the real thigh of the Suns.

Howard expressed his gratitude to Guo Xu in the locker room. He has already stated that he wants to play on a weak team, to try to get more ball rights, and to work hard to get a big contract in the contract year next season.

This was what Guo Xu asked Howard on his own initiative. Some words made it clear that everyone was comfortable. Guo Xu promised to help Howard break out in a few games at the right time, allowing him to enter the field of vision of some teams. When the opponent's flank defense is strong, Howard will reduce his shots, focus most of his energy on the defensive end, and try his best to help the team win.

Howard is self-aware and is content to be the Suns' second scoring point, and does not expect to compete with Guo Xu for the ball. If he were to be the boss in the Suns, he wouldn't be able to do well. He could just score points, but his ability to break through and distribute the ball was far inferior to Guo Xu's.

Howard will definitely be traded after this season. The management will discuss where he will go after the season ends. Now the Suns cannot do without Howard and need him to help Guo Xu share the pressure on the offensive end.

On the 16th, the Suns defeated the lowly Hornets at home 111 to 88. They won again just for fun. It was the longest 12-game winning streak in the season.

The Hornets have many weaknesses. Not only are their inside lineup poor, they also only have a three-point shooting spot like J.R. Smith on the outside. Coach Scott is unwilling to give JR playing time, and the two have conflicts.

JR was often scolded by Scott for not executing tactics when playing, not cooperating with training, not being active, and leading a disorderly life. This is not an injustice to him. He is a man who hangs out in nightclubs all day long and has InLoveWithMyMoney engraved on his tattoo.

Paul's start in this life is more difficult than in his previous life...
