Legend of Tomorrow

In July, the Suns gave Spanish center Gasol, a first-round pick, a four-year contract before the Olympics started. The 14-man lineup for the new season has been determined. There are no major transactions or star signings, and reinforcements are very simple. ◢Щщш

Simple does not mean weak. Find a few swingmen with height and wingspan, stand in the zone in the zone defense system, and rely on physical defense to not be much different. Their biggest advantage is that they are comprehensive and can defend all positions on the court except the center.

The Suns are planning to sign a veteran for the last spot, giving him a chance to win the championship. Pick whoever you like and take your time.

Center: Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan, Amare Stoudemire.

Power forwards: Udonis Haslem, Paul Millsap, Marcin Gortat.

Small Forward: Grant Hill, Gerald Green, Jamario Moon.

Shooting guards: Brandon Roy, Anthony Morrow.

Point guard: Guo Xu, Kyle Lowry, Goran Dragic.

If this group of people are all at their peak, they will be an All-Star team, and other teams will have no hope of competing for the championship. If the Mengba team competes with them, they may end up in despair. It mainly depends on which team Guo Xu is on.

However, in the eyes of most people, the Suns lineup is still relatively shabby, with mostly newcomers but very athletic ability. These young players are all rookies at the end of the first round and second-round and undrafted rookies. They have not proven themselves in other teams.

This is what Guo Xu wants, and he doesn't want a salary cut for players whose reputations are in decline. For example, Marbury can go to China to undergo socialist transformation, but if he wants to join the Suns, he can't, so he can stay where it's cool.

Marbury was waived by the Knicks and is now a completely free agent. He can get it with a minimum salary. He chose the Celtics.

A big news came out of the Knicks last season. In December 2007, Marbury's father suffered a heart attack while watching a Knicks home game and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Coach Isiah, who was already aware of the situation at the time, Thomas deliberately concealed the situation in order to allow Marbury to play.

Unfortunately, Marbury's father had passed away when the game was over. Marbury almost went crazy when he learned about the situation after the game. He broke up with Thomas on the spot, and the conflict was irreconcilable. Marbury was eventually kicked out by the Knicks.

Then the inhumane Thomas was kicked out by the Knicks. As a manager, he had already brought the entire team into disarray, and his record as a coach was even worse. What caused his reputation to be tarnished was the incident of sexual harassment of a female subordinate in the office.

The person he harassed was not a beautiful woman, but a black aunt, who spent a lot of money on the lawsuit...

Marbury has some strength. Veterans without rings such as Sam Cassell, Michael Finley, Pat Garrity, Chris Webber, Alonzo Mourning, etc. can't be beaten. In the end, the Suns It's hard to choose one person.

In the Dream Eight training camp, Guo Xu completely conquered the coaching staff. Old K no longer pursues positional tactics. After discussing with D'Antoni, he planned to play mainly small ball and follow the path of the Suns' five small teams.

Center Warcraft Howard is known as 211, but he is actually shorter than Bosh, who also reports 211, and is about the same height as Stoudemire, who is 208. Not only can he solidify the defense in the penalty area and protect rebounds in the backcourt, he can also initiate counterattacks with one pass and secure his inside position.

The power forward is Carmelo Anthony. Old K was the first to discover that Anthony's offensive efficiency is better when playing power forward than that of a small forward. He has the strength to withstand most No. 4 positions and has the skills of a small forward. He can be pulled out one-on-one. There is a clear advantage in single-handedly challenging the opponent's forward.

LeBron James is an unstoppable small forward. He is very strong on both ends of the offense and defense. During fast breaks, it is almost impossible to limit the opponent one-on-one. The disadvantage is his range.

The shooting guard position was very controversial. After the players worked together for three weeks, Old K decided to let the Bucks' Michael Reed do the job, with Kobe and Wade as substitutes. The reason is that Reed is more suitable to partner with Guo Xu and is an accurate three-pointer.

Reed is a person whose destiny was changed by the early arrival of the small ball era. He changed his focus to running without the ball, catching the ball and shooting. Last season, he averaged 3 three-pointers per game and had a three-point shooting percentage of 48.

His statistics are worse than those in his previous life. He rarely attacks with the ball. At his peak, he only averaged 227 points and 42 rebounds and assists per game, but his offensive efficiency is higher. The Bucks' overall strength is not good, they rely entirely on him and Mo Williams' offense, and their interior defense is also very poor, so they can't win the ball.

As soon as Reed met Guo Xu, it was like a dragon being transformed by a storm, and his strengths suddenly came into play. He can throw his opponent to death when he gets an open shot, and he can play fast breaks even if his physical fitness is not bad.

Wade and Kobe's performance from outside the three-point line was disappointing. They could only take one or two steps inside to make a mid-range shot. Under the interference of defenders, their shooting percentage was not as accurate as Guo Xu's three-pointer.

Wade must be a substitute. His mid-range shooting percentage last season was not even 40, and his performance relied entirely on breakthroughs with the ball. And Kobe has become the team's third choice at the 2nd position, because his fast break speed is not as good as Wade's, his breakthrough is not as good as Wade's, his overall shooting rate is not as good as Wade's, and he also needs to hold the ball.

With a superstar like Guo Xu in the team, let Kobe, who has the lowest shooting percentage at position 2, hold the ball and attack? Unless Kobe is Lao K's biological father, it is impossible for him to arrange this.

The coaching staff found that Kobe was not yet suitable to play with Paul and Wade. Those two also had to hold the ball. The most suitable role for Kobe was as a blue-collar perimeter defender. Kobe wanted to prove his strength during training, but his ability to lead the team was indeed not as good as Guo Xu's. James and Wade were also more efficient offensively with the ball than him, and they couldn't steal the ball.

Guo Xu is the undisputed core. His performance is very stable, and he has the strongest shooting, breakthrough, and assist abilities on the team. He has no shortcomings except that he likes to open his Sharingan when defending, but that is because he deliberately saves face for his teammates. Otherwise, the other party will be stimulated.

Paul, Delong and Guo Xu competed every day and never won.

The training location was in Las Vegas. Guo Xu occasionally played a few games and was better at gambling than his teammates. One night he won 1 million playing blackjack and was immediately kicked out of the casino because he could remember cards. The casino also issued a lifetime ban on him, and he was never welcome to play blackjack in the casino.

The 200-class three-ball star and Paul who went to play with Guo Xu returned to the hotel with O-shaped mouths. This was the first time they had seen someone leave the casino like this. This incident also made the news, but no one said that Guo Xu was addicted to gambling. For him, 1 million was a small amount of gambling.

News often breaks out about Guo Xu, stealing everyone's limelight, causing some people to be almost forgotten.

Kobe became extremely embarrassed in the national team this time. When Guo Xu did not participate in the previous life, although his performance on the court was average, he was the most popular star of the Dream Team.

He took 104 shots in eight games in the 2008 Olympics, 21 more than James, who took the second most shots. As a result, he ranked third in the team in scoring, fourth from the bottom in the team in field goal percentage, and 2 in three-point field goal percentage. What's even more frightening is that all this is based on the premise that Kobe said in an interview, I want to be the defensive leader of Dream Eight.

The most amazing thing is that Kobe Bryant hit a +1 in the final, and Chinese fans praised him as Kobe led the Dream Team to win the championship, and the team can't do it without him. He had just won the regular season vp that season. He had been the scoring champion in the first two seasons and his popularity was at its peak. Old K had to let him play more to satisfy the fans' needs.

Now there are 6 billion in pot secrets. Guo Xu has various scoring and assist records. Kobe has the highest 62 points in the regular season and the highest 48 points in the playoffs. He got it against the Kings in 2001. The coaching staff no longer needs to give him face. .
