Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 740 [The Suns must disperse! Must win Oscar! 】

After only one day's rest, the Suns swept away the decline and defeated the Spurs by 14 points at home, refusing to lose consecutive games.

After trading for Danny Granger, the Spurs strengthened their wings and gained an additional three-point shooting spot. But the reason why the Spurs lost in the last playoffs has been analyzed by experts. Wing defense is not the key, but strengthening breakthroughs is.

If opponents can't disrupt the Suns' paint defense with drives or three-pointers, they are unbeatable. Almost all Suns players are good at guarding against breakthroughs. David Lee, who was the worst at guarding pick-and-rolls inside, has been sent away. Currently, the only player in the rotation who is easy to pass is Tim Thomas.

The Jazz's Deron Williams has a height advantage against Guo Xu and can hit hard. The two have competing styles, so only the chubby one can make full use of it. Parker was completely weaker against Guo Xu, with his only advantage being a few centimeters taller. He relied on breakthroughs and struggled against Guo Xu, and he failed to improve his mid- and long-range shooting percentage this season.

Ginobili's best skill is also breakthrough. The difference from Parker is that his three-point ability is much stronger. His style of play is a combination of breakouts and shooting, but the Suns have two swingmen in Bell and Ariza who are good at preventing breakthroughs. Constant entanglement can reduce his efficiency.

Popovich said depressingly after the game: Everyone is praising the Suns' offense. In fact, if they want, they can become the strongest defensive team. Their performance is disappointing.

If they lose one game, it will still not be difficult for the Suns to break the Lakers' record. It will be difficult to win 80 games unless they only lose one game in the next game.

David Stern convened a meeting with league officials and stated that he would dismantle the Suns lineup this summer. Their presence has begun to affect the interests of the entire league, causing the overall ratings of the NBA to decline.

It is impossible for other teams to play as good-looking games as the Suns, and the Suns' games are always one-sided and no suspense. What else is there to see in this kind of game? Just look at the news and player statistics after the game.

NBA ratings increased last season because Guo Xu led the team to soar in points and attracted a large number of fans in every game. People wanted to see whether he could score higher points and whether he could single-handedly suppress his opponents' multiple players. star.

This season Guo Xu shares the ball with his teammates, and his statistics have declined. It is difficult to score even 50 points, let alone more than 60 points. How can he score 50 points when he takes less than 20 shots?

It is absolutely impossible for the Suns to trade Guo Xu. The only way to break up the Suns is to trade everyone else away.

Unfortunately, Stoudemire's five-year maximum salary has just started to be implemented this season. Marion's six-year, $79 million contract will not expire until 2009. Roy is only on a rookie contract and has to play for four years.

NBA officials actually don’t have much experience in breaking up strong team lineups.

There has never been a team as strong as the Suns before. Like the Spurs' GDP combination, the league would not want to break them up, and it couldn't break up the Bulls' earlier combination. People are willing to come together, and the management is willing to give Jordan an annual salary of 30 million, but the president has nothing to do.

The disintegration of the Lakers' Big Three in 2002 was due to the absence of the Jason Guo Clause. They were unable to renew Guo Xu's contract with a high salary and had to let him go for nothing. After the new labor agreement was introduced in 2005, this loophole was closed.

Even if there is still this loophole, it has nothing to do with Guo Xu. He is no longer a second-round pick, but a superstar.

Everyone who came to the meeting expressed some opinions. One person had a bright idea and suggested: How about contacting Jason Guo and letting him retire for two years? Doesn't he like to make movies? Just go to the entertainment industry. , wait until his strength drops and then come back, just like when Jordan went to play baseball.

Adam Silva adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: I think if he retires, he may not come back and directly compete for the Oscar winner.

Everyone in the conference room laughed, and felt a little helpless after laughing. Guo Xu is no longer someone who can use common sense to deduce. This year he received an invitation to attend the 79th Academy Awards ceremony held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on February 25.

If Guo Xu continues to lead the team to win championships, the lack of competition in NBA games will only be embarrassing. If he retires and stops playing, the NBA will directly fall and it will be even worse.

Guo Xu retires, who will he pay attention to after 6 billion pot secrets? You have to run most of it, right? This is a completely different concept from 6 billion. After Kobe retired, the number of fans not only did not decrease, but also increased. Even the NBA salary cap went up to the sky, and everyone made a lot of money together.

Well, in Guo Xu's previous life, the Lakers didn't just decline? Kobe and Duncan retired in the same year. A year later, the Lakers' net profit reached US$115 million, ranking first in the league, surpassing the second-place Warriors by US$20 million, but the Spurs suffered losses.

After the discussion, the league could only guide public opinion, promoting Stoudemire and Marion as dissatisfied with too little ball rights and preparing to leave, and Roy as a seriously underestimated super rookie.

Stern plans to hold all these people up and let them consciously leave the sun. If the Suns don't break up, it will be difficult for Guo Xu to win personal honors in the future, and the regular season MVP will definitely not matter to him.

Stern feels that with Guo Xu's character, he should want more personal honors and would not like stars to be in a group. His desire to score was stronger than Jordan's last season. He shouldn't be willing to give up too much of the ball. How can he win the scoring title if he keeps giving up?

Therefore, the media also publicizes that the Suns teaming up affects the excitement of the game and affects player data. Use media posts to implicitly call on fans, and let 6 billion insiders suggest that the Suns break up, so that Guo Xu has a chance to win more scoring titles.

Are you capable of surpassing Jordan in scoring titles? Jordan has done it ten times, Iverson has done it four times, and Guo Xu has only done it twice now.

Guo Xu is not surprised by the league's little tricks. He has not pursued it this season. Success in leading the team to defend the title is victory. If his teammates are strong enough, Guo Xu can focus part of his attention on the entertainment industry and Fat Fox Company.

During the holidays, he did a lot of commercial activities, appeared in Time Magazine, participated in talk shows, and had a great time.

Many reporters recently interviewed Guo Xu and asked him about movies, because the Oscars gave Kung Fu Panda a nomination for Best Feature Animation and it is likely to win.

There weren't really any great animated films from Hollywood last year, and their competition was Happy Feet. Looking at the global box office and influence, we know that the two movies are not on the same level.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Happy Feet eventually won an Oscar and was known as one of the most award-winning feature animations. Only Brave may be more successful than him.

Kung Fu Panda also received an Oscar nomination in its previous life, but it was unfairly lost to WALL-E. If they don't win this time, fans won't agree.

There is a big difference between animation and live-action movies. Few of the academic judges are actually involved in animation production and research. This award is actually just in the name of an Oscar. The selection criteria mainly depend on box office performance and reputation.

In this way, Oscar will not deliberately suppress Kung Fu Panda because of Guo Xu's star status.

Tomorrow, the company has found someone to help Guo Xu write his acceptance speech, and he will go on stage to receive the award. He came up with the idea for this movie and completed the first draft of the script. Later, he also participated in revising the script and took on the name of screenwriter. He also provided the voice for the protagonist, the panda Po, and had the greatest credit.

Fans online discussed it lively.

Just waiting to see Jason win the award. Will he win the Oscar first before the Grammy?

A basketball star who can't sing, dance and act in movies is not a good Chinese national treasure.

It would be interesting if he gets another Best Actor nomination for Inception, but it's a pity that science fiction commercial films are unlikely to be nominated.
