Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 765 [Strong comeback, a fair fight]
Guo Xu called D'Antoni and team doctor Carter and informed them that he would return to Phoenix in the afternoon, first undergo a leg examination, and then participate in training to prepare for tomorrow's game.
The Suns practiced twice a day on the 31st of the time loop. If they go to San Antonio, they won't be able to train intensively. They just need to get used to the venue. Today is their last chance to get used to each other.
Guo Xu said that as long as the bones were not healed during the filming, he would not appear. Carter did not object to his examination. The results were the same as the ones he took during the time loop, the leg bones looked healed.
After reading the examination report at noon, Carter said: You are recovering well. To be on the safe side, I still don't recommend you to play because you cannot exert too much force and it is difficult to control the amount of exercise you can bear.
It's not difficult to grasp at all, because I plan to use a pure floor style of play. I will not jump or accelerate. I will mainly organize passes and wait for opportunities to catch and shoot outside the three-point line. Guo Xu said seriously.
Can you promise to do it? Carter asked.
Of course, I won't joke about my health. As long as I go out and organize the offense, I believe they will perform well.
Playing with core injuries can improve morale. This spirit is worth promoting, but it cannot be generally said that players must fight hard even if they are injured. Instead, a scientific and cautious approach should be adopted.
Guo Xu only proposed to play when he was confident. He had been resting in the cycle for nearly three years and almost forgot that he was an injured player. He felt like a floor player with average quality.
Coach D'Antoni interjected: Thomas, let Jason try. If he doesn't play tomorrow, we have an 80% chance of losing. Lowry's shooting is not good and it is easy for opponents to target him.
80% is to save face. Guo Xu will go home to fish if he doesn't go out in the sun. Position 1 is being targeted too hard. Lowry has lost his confidence when he comes on the court. The Spurs can always carry out targeted zone defense and defend the penalty area.
Because Lowry can let go, Stoudemire can't use his full strength. It's easier to take shots from mid-range. If he gets the ball in the penalty area, he will be double-teamed. After all, Stoudemire is not Nowitzki, and his mid-range shot ratio is not high.
Guo Xu successfully participated in the training. On the defensive end, he mainly defended the swingman who was not good at holding the ball and attacking. He interfered with the shooting in front of him and was not close to his body. On the offensive end, he brought surprises to the whole team. Even with his healthy play style, he was able to connect the whole team. He released the ball very quickly. When his teammates were running, he could pass the ball when they had some space. He also had many wonderful behind-the-back passes. , passing the ball behind the head while moving.
In the training match, Guo Xu led the starting lineup and the bench was at a loss to defend itself.
The coaching staff made an immediate decision to let him play tomorrow, instead of waiting on the bench after entering the squad, he would start directly.
Lowry was greatly shocked. Guo Xu actually had one leg better than him. He made many layups without even seeing his teammates pass the ball. He was shocked and remembered the Smiling Assassin Isiah Thomas who scored 25 points in a single quarter with one leg in the 1988 Finals. The superstar point guard was too scary.
In the evening, Guo Xu called Megan and asked her to spend a few days with Britney in Los Angeles instead of traveling to away games. Then he flew to San Antonio with his teammates.
Robert's special plane first stopped at the Phoenix Airport. Even if the Suns won Game 6, they would have to return home for a tiebreaker with the Spurs. If they won, Guo Xu would take a special plane back to Los Angeles to recuperate. He would not participate in team training and play directly in the finals.
The most important thing is for him to recuperate well. This is Carter's suggestion. If you practice too much and get injured, the loss will outweigh the gain.
On June 1, all major media reported the news of Guo Xu's arrival in San Antonio, speculating that he would play injured. Most experts are optimistic that the Spurs will win, because Guo Xu's comeback is too hasty, not only prone to injury again, but also a major hidden danger on the defensive end.
When the players took the bus to the arena, reporters immediately surrounded Guo Xu for interviews.
Guo Xuleng said: I will play tonight. As for how long I will play, it depends on whether the Spurs will have another scum like Vujacic. After all, no matter how careful I am, I can't prevent the opponent's malicious foul. If If I encounter this kind of flagrant foul again, I will consider retiring permanently and pursue a career in the entertainment industry. I don’t have to worry about being murdered when I engage in entertainment, and the law will protect me.”
It was big news and reporters took pictures together. Among them, the reporter at the front of TNT radio station was broadcasting live, and the audience waiting to watch the game heard Guo Xu's words.
President David Stern also sat in front of the TV, his heart in his throat. Stern had a nightmare last night. He dreamed that Guo Xu said before the game that he would retire and act in movies if the Suns lost. He was very angry.
Others may say angry words, but Guo Xu seems to be really capable, because he can live without the NBA, but now the NBA cannot live without him. If he really retires and continues to badmouth the NBA, it will be a fatal blow to the league's brand.
Because of that dream, Stern was restless today. He had already asked Adam Silva to tell the referee not to give the Spurs the home whistle and to play this game fairly. Now he is a little lucky to have done this. If Guo Xu finds out that the whistle is biased towards the Spurs after playing injured, he may make a shocking decision if he loses today.
Stern is very conflicted now. He doesn't want to see the Suns win four consecutive championships, but he doesn't dare to directly suppress Guo Xu and the Suns.
Only a Spurs player would be crazy to commit a crime against the wind, but Guo Xu had to guard against it, so he mentioned a flagrant foul today.
Guo Xu's legs don't hurt after exiting the time loop. As long as he doesn't sprint, move sideways or jump with all his strength, he should be fine. The biggest variable in the Suns Series is that he can't get injured again. If he is seriously injured, not only his playing will be affected, but his plans for filming a movie during the vacation will also be affected.
In the visiting team's locker room, D'Antoni emphasized tactics and asked the players to defend well. Guo Xu organized the offense and ran according to the tactical routine, and then the players came out.
Guo Xu was booed by the audience when he came out. The fans wanted to use this method to increase the psychological pressure on the visiting team players.
The two teams are rivals and have met in the playoffs many times. As soon as Guo Xu returned, Spurs fans were worried that he would lead the team to a reversal. Even if the media said that his injury was not healed, many people were still panicking.
CCTV5 broadcast the game live. Zhang Liji said: Guo Xu will definitely play today. He had a good shooting touch during the warm-up and hit several three-pointers in a row. If he leads the team past the Spurs, he can rest before the finals. In a few days, if we lose today, the season will be over.”
Yu Jia said: The Suns achieved a record-breaking performance in the regular season. He is definitely not willing to fail in the Western Conference Finals, but it is very risky to come back at this time. Today is only 20 days. It was previously reported that the doctor said to rest for at least a month.
The starters from both sides stood on the court. Guo Xu smiled at Tony Parker, who immediately felt a little flustered.
Among the players who have played against Guo Xu in recent years, Parker has been the worst. He was always abused in the playoffs. Even when the Spurs eliminated the Suns in the Western Conference Finals in 2003, he was beaten by Guo Xu. This led many Spurs fans to believe that Parker was the reason why the Spurs failed to win the championship after 2003. If they had a stronger defender, they might have defeated the Suns.
Parker is wronged. He has already been selected as an All-Star, but he is just worse than Guo Xu. Among point guards, he is firmly ranked among the top ten in the league.
Seeing Guo Xu's comeback, many thoughts suddenly appeared in Parker's mind uncontrollably. He must not lose this series. If he loses, he will be miserable, and his popularity and evaluation will drop again.
This is not a run. Parker was very embarrassed after being dunked by Guo Xu last season. Now that everyone knows that Guo Xu is injured, there is no reason for him to be unable to defeat the opponent.
