Legend of Tomorrow

After the game, many fans said that the Suns' trade of David Lee for Kyle Lowry was a huge loss.

David Lee has become an important rotation for the Nets, averaging 29 minutes per game, scoring 10.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists, and shooting 56.2% from the field, which is similar to last season's data. Coupled with his handsome image, David Lee has gained many fans in the New York area.

Suns fans all feel that this is a potential new star inside, and Varejao should be sent away to keep David Lee.

In fact, a frame-protecting blue-collar insider like Varejao is more important to the Suns. The one selected at the end of the first round can be used until the summer of 2008. At that time, you can consider whether to renew the contract. Now there is a two-year buffer period, and the Suns management also Good to find a replacement.

In Guo Xu's previous life, it was not cheap for the Cavaliers to renew Varejao's contract in 2008. It was a high-salary long-term contract worth 48 million US dollars in six years. Even if his offense was poor, he still had the value of renewing the contract. Just look at the Cavaliers' regular season record.

The funny thing is, Varejao seems to be unpopular wherever he goes. Suns fans don't like him and think his style of play is ugly. In his previous life, Cavaliers fans disliked him even more. Some people booed him at home, thinking that his contract was too high. If he had a sacrificial spirit like Haslem and cut his salary to sign for the middle class, then James would have already won... How could he have the nerve to go to the Heat? Woolen cloth?

David Lee has good statistics but no improvement in defense. In the Nets, he plays as a center to protect rebounds, while Kostic defends pick-and-rolls. The other two insiders are not good at grabbing rebounds. The Nets' poor defense is the key to the Suns' last laugh.

If they don't defend well inside, the Nets won't be able to make it far in the Eastern Conference playoffs this season. In the same way, if the Suns are Stoudemire and David Lee in the paint, the defense in the penalty area will definitely be a mess, which will increase the difficulty of winning the championship.

The Suns left New York and flew to Milwaukee. Guo Xu stayed in the hotel without going out and ate more good food to replenish his energy.

The next day, Guo Xu led the team to easily beat the Bucks 116-90, scoring 32 points and 12 assists.

The Bucks are now recognized as an underdog, and even the Knicks dare to lose. They rely on Michael Reed and Mo Williams in the backcourt to win, betting on shooting touch, and Ilyasova and Villanueva inside are also the type to pull out and shoot.

In 2005, because the Bucks reached the playoffs, they failed to select the No. 1 pick Bogut, and only selected the Nine Finger Dunk King swingman Gerald Green. His dunking ability is super strong, but his other abilities are average.

The Suns also easily won back-to-back away games against the Celtics, with a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

The Celtics have a strong offense;

Pierce and Szczerbiak are both famous stars. Al Jefferson averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds per game and has a strong low-post offense.

The team's weakness is the No. 1 position. Delonte West is strong offensively and weak defensively, and cannot guard against Guo Xu.

The substitute Rajon Rondo worked hard on defense and was completely unsure of his offensive shots. Guo Xu wished he could let him go seven steps away, a poem's distance away.

Rudy Gay really didn't have many opportunities to perform in the Celtics. He averaged 18.8 minutes per game, only 6.8 points, 3 rebounds and 0.9 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 43%.

Gay, like Tony Allen, has terrifying physical fitness and is suitable for playing fast-paced games, but is not suitable for the Celtics. The head coach of the Green Army is Doc Rivers, who likes to play positional warfare.

As long as he keeps playing in the Green Army, it will be difficult for Gay to get ahead as a rookie. He will be a target that can be missed, but he doesn't know which team will pick him up.

Guo Xu feels that if he sends Marion and exchanges Gay for the Suns, he will make a profit. If he can't produce data in four years, it will be a big deal. But it's not easy to trade. The salary gap between the two is too big, and the Suns have to accept a bad contract from the Green Army.

In addition, Marion wants to leave now. Gay is only in his rookie season. If he trades early and produces numbers in the Suns, it will be difficult to renew his contract in the future, just like Howard who has joined the Timberwolves. It's not easy for the Suns to train Gay at the moment, and there are already a lot of young outside players with potential.

In the final game of this road trip, the Suns easily defeated the Magic, who were ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference.

The Magic's players have terrifying talent, but they lack a tactical core and rely more on individual players to solve problems. Even if they finally make it to the playoffs, they will still be disappointed in the first round.

The Magic lack a super scorer. Howard averages 17.6 points in 37 minutes per game and is the team's first scoring point.

Howard is a player whose scoring hot spots are concentrated in the penalty area. He is only effective when he hits the basket. This season, his two-point shooting rate from close range is only 42%. He can't attract double teams. After getting to the basket, his opponent can foul him in time and send him to the free throw line.

Guo Xu created a butterfly effect, and it was difficult for Howard to become the superstar who was known as just replacing James at his peak like in his previous life. When Stoudemire participated in the dunk contest, he used two of Howard's dunk ideas, especially the Superman Dunk, which gained Stoudemire a lot of fans.

If Howard participates in a dunk contest in the future and pretends to be Superman, it will be plagiarism. As for the mid-range shot, Howard will definitely not be able to practice it in this life. In his previous life, he once made Ewing, who was an assistant coach with the Magic, feel overwhelmed.

On the offensive end, what he is good at is relying on his youthful energy and terrifying physical fitness to squeeze into the inside and perform dunks, earning him the nickname Warcraft. Once he encounters a strong human shield center who can hold him outside the penalty area, his scoring efficiency will decrease. It is normal for him to be beaten by Yao Ming. After joining the Lakers, he was restricted by Chuck Hayes' single defense.

Howard only has two basketball skills in his life: slam dunk close to the basket, turn around and make a small hook. The second move is often useless.

Grant Hill returned after a serious injury last season, but he could no longer find his offensive sense and became a role player averaging 14 points per game.

Jordan's successor at that time was reduced to a super bad contract. In 2000, he signed a seven-year long-term contract with the Magic with a high salary of 93 million. In 4 seasons, he was reimbursed after playing less than 30 games. In the 2003-04 season, he failed to win every game. No fighting. His highest attendance season also only played 67 games.

Next summer, the Magic can finally get rid of the big burden of Hill and free up salary space to introduce big-name free agents, which will be the key to their rise. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Magic recruited SuperSonics forward Rashard Lewis and reached the finals once.

Hill's fate is a big question mark. In his previous life, he joined the Suns in 2007 with two years of low salary. With the help of the miracle doctor Carter, he ensured attendance and played well for four seasons. He is an outstanding player. Role players.

The current Suns don't need Hill. The coaching staff wants a swingman who can shoot three-pointers. Anthony Parker on the bench is more efficient than him. Hill can break through and make mid-range shots, but he almost never shoots three-pointers.

Magic's backup center Bynum is also an easy target to miss. He has super physical fitness, but is not suitable to play with Howard. This season, he only averaged 21.3 minutes per game, scoring 7.6 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1.6 blocks. His efficiency is very high. Not bad.

The Magic management is already preparing to trade Bynum. They want to replace him with a young wing player with potential, but they have not found a suitable target yet.

After this victory, the Suns started with a 20-game winning streak, which shocked everyone.

Teams predicted by experts to pose a threat to the Suns fell at their feet one by one. As long as the Suns increase the playing time of their stars in key games, it will be difficult for opponents to defend them.

Because there are more rotations, the players' physical strength is guaranteed, and the Suns have not suffered serious injuries.

NBA retired celebrities no longer say that Guo Xu was just an ordinary player in ancient times. After averaging 41 points per game, they are convinced. Those who are not convinced no longer dare to question casually, or they will be blasted by 6 billion.
