Legend of Tomorrow

As the season progresses, all teams choose to guard against Guo Xu's scoring and let other Suns players shoot. It is difficult for him to score more than 50 points, and his average points per game have been declining.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there have been many good scorers, and there are scoring champions every season. However, for any NBA player, it is not easy to average 30 points per game in a season, and it is not easy to score every season. Wang Du can average 30+ per game.

Being able to average 30+ per game in a season is considered a superstar. This is why Iverson still has a large number of fans despite his poor record. Of course, it is much harder for Guo Xu to average 40+ per game.

The difficulty of scoring high scores for Kobe and Iverson has also increased. In order to defend Guo Xu, each team has a strategy to deal with super scorers, that is, they would rather double-team without the ball than let the star easily play alone.

Double-teaming Kobe and Iverson, two people who take most of their shots close to the basket, is definitely much easier than double-teaming Guo Xu. Both of their statistics began to decline, and it was difficult for them to catch the ball.

The Lakers' schedule is different from Guo Xu's previous life. They played against the Raptors on the road in January. Although the Raptors lost the game, they blocked the penalty area and Kobe only scored 36 points.

The Lakers and the Mavericks played two games. Kobe scored 43 points and 51 points respectively, but he was not so strong.

After Caron Butler returns this month, the Lakers have an offensive trident. Kobe must distribute the ball. It is a fantasy to score more than 35 points.

Kobe couldn't do it without dividing the ball. Zen Master Jackson would transform into Tang Monk and teach him constantly about the importance of the team. If you don’t hear it once, you won’t hear it ten times. If you don’t hear it ten times, you won’t hear it a hundred times.

When Kobe Bryant's style of play became more reasonable, the Lakers' offense blossomed more and their record began to improve. It would be no problem to enter the playoffs, but they still have a fatal weakness inside.

Bogut is now developing in a blue-collar direction, and his ability to defend the penalty area is not bad, but the Lakers' backup centers are worse, and they have no shooting range, and the effect is not as good as Guo Xu's previous life when Mimu and Kwame Brown shared playing time.

Turiaf was a second-round pick in 2005. He was brave enough but a rough guy who couldn't practice shooting. His performance was poor in every game, and he would be arbitrarily left open outside the penalty area on the offensive end.

With only Odom as a supporting inside line, the Lakers' ball movement was not good enough. In fact, there is a way to solve it. Let Butler or Luke Walton serve as a power forward and Odom play the center. Both forwards have good passing vision.

However, Jackson does not like to play small ball tactics and has obvious defensive weaknesses. Moreover, the Lakers' small ball tactics cannot match the sharp running and gunning of the Suns. They do not have a point guard who is good at launching fast breaks.

To put it bluntly, the Lakers rely on isolations to win. It is too easy for opponents to see through and relies on the players' touch. It will not work in the playoffs.

In early February, the Spurs lost two games, bringing their defeat count to 10 games, and were pulled away by the Suns.

Guo Xu has won the Western Conference Player of the Month for the third consecutive month with his super data, and has won Player of the Week more times.

Now no one in the West can compete with Guo Xu for this season's regular season MVP. The Spurs, Grizzlies, and Clippers are not far behind the Suns in record, but none of the stars' statistics can compare with Guo Xu.

Choose an inside player with 20+10 statistics and no shoes to be the MVP. Not to mention the fans, even sneaker sponsors will not agree.

The situation in the Eastern Conference is equally embarrassing. The Pistons are ranked first, with a record equal to that of the Suns and only losing six games.

After Flip Saunders became the Pistons coach, the team performed very well. They won all 6 games in the absence of Big Ben and were completely unaffected by the battle at Auburn Hills.

But the Pistons rely on the team to win, and stars will definitely not win MVPs. The best performer was Billups, who averaged less than 20 points per game and didn't even reach double figures in assists. He was even less popular. He was just a second-rate star in the league who barely made it to the All-Star Game.

The powerful Pacers in the Eastern Conference who reached the finals last year were directly GG. Many people were suspended and their strength dropped significantly.

The Heat's performance after the introduction of Antoine Walker was not good, mainly relying on Wade and O'Neal. No matter how good Wade's data is, he cannot compete for MVP with a poor record.

The only person who has a chance to compete with Guo Xu for MVP is LeBron James. He currently averages 30 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage is 48.3%. The three-point shooting percentage was 33.5% and the free throw percentage was 73.8%.

The Cavaliers' record ranks second in the Eastern Conference, five games behind the Suns. If they can come from behind and surpass the Suns in record, the league will consider giving the MVP to James, but the chance is slim.

The Cavaliers are very strong inside, and the combination of Ilgauskas and Boozer is not afraid of any team in the league, but the Cavaliers have weaknesses on the outside, with poor point guards and shooting guards.

Little Emperor James is responsible for the Cavaliers' offense with the ball and organization of offense. The defender is only responsible for defense and catching and shooting. Their No. 1 position is extremely weak, with veteran Eric Snow and Damon Jones as a substitute.

And James has a disadvantage. He is too young. This is only the third season of his career and he is still in the less competitive Eastern Conference. As a player who enters the NBA from high school, if James wins the award this year, he will break the historical record of the youngest MVP created by Guo Xu. He will not be able to convince the public.

Even if the Mavericks and Kings lineups deteriorate, the competition in the Western Conference is still fierce because the Jazz and Grizzlies have become stronger. In particular, the Grizzlies have the addition of Randolph and Dunleavy, who can compete against any team.

The Jazz have been getting along well since the start of the season. They traded point guard Derek Fisher from the Warriors in early January to strengthen the weakest No. 1 position. They recently had a 6-game winning streak.

Even if Guo Xu is a reborn player, he cannot win the championship by splitting up his opponent's lineup. If the strength is not enough, ambitious teams will make reinforcements. They will fill in whatever positions are missing and look for suitable replacements. With so many players in the league available for trade, how can Guo Xu completely demolish them?

Solar's best record relies on the depth of the lineup, Guo Xu's personal ability, and the careful supervision of the coaching staff.

After Guo Xu returned from leveling, the Suns' cooperation became more and more tacit, and the players became more confident.

Guo Xu used the Suns in his previous life as a reference and believed that the overall strength of the team was stronger than the Suns led by Nash.

The team is missing Marion, Barbosa, Diaw, and Kurt Thomas, but it has Josh Howard, Ariza, David Lee, Varejao, Haslem, Payton, and Bray. Gram and many others.

Guo Xu's scoring ability can match that of Nashgar Marion. The team's overall offensive firepower is no worse than that of the Suns, but its defense is stronger than that of the Suns. Precisely because there is no obvious weakness on the defensive end, Guo Xu can often let loose when playing against weak teams.

In order to strengthen defense in the previous life of the Suns, D'Antoni did not dare to let Marion rest and averaged 40.3 minutes per game. This was the reason why Marion later dared to ask for a high salary from the management. He felt that he was indispensable.

David Lee, like Tim Thomas who joined the Suns in the mid-term, is a strong offensive and defensive inside man. His rebounding and offensive efficiency are better than that one.

The coaching staff's supervision is reflected in warning the players not to jump around and use floor flow collectively. They really can't afford to be injured.

From the perspective of others, Guo Xu has been incredible this season. He led a group of role players and fringe players to achieve the best record without even a star second-in-command. This has never happened in NBA history. .

ESPN said that Guo Xu leads the team with a single core and strives for the best record in the regular season with the weakest teammates in history. If the Suns successfully defend the title this year, Guo Xu can be said to have surpassed Jordan with only five championships. Jordan will never be able to do this. thing.
