Legend of Tomorrow

On January 16, the Suns lost to the Timberwolves in an away game. This was not an upset. The Timberwolves ranked seventh in the Western Conference.

Don't underestimate the seventh place in the Western Conference. Except for the Suns' outstanding record, the other playoff teams are about the same strength, with each other winning or losing. Because of the butterfly effect, the Timberwolves' wings, which were originally their biggest weakness, have now become their strengths.

After that, the Suns ended January's journey with a winning streak. On the 29th, they defeated the Spurs again at home and beat the opponent 3-0 in the regular season.

Guo Xu has become a permanent shadow of Parker, and the data of the two against Parker is less than half of the usual numbers. The call for Guo Xu to be selected for the best defensive team is getting louder and louder. He has almost never suffered a loss against the stars. On the contrary, his defense is very poor when playing against weak teams. Everyone knows that it is because he is lazy.

Guo Xu will continue to be lazy because he has no interest in joining the defensive lineup.

On February 2, the Suns easily defeated the Kings at home. Guo Xu scored 22 points and 12 assists in three quarters.

The Suns flew to Oakland. February 4th was a nationally broadcast game, the Suns vs. the Warriors away from home.

When the league arranged the schedule, they thought this would be a wonderful game. Unexpectedly, the Warriors currently have 15 wins and 34 losses.

The Warriors are not bad, they are really bad. Kobe averaged 29.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, competing with Wade for the scoring title this season, but the team couldn't win.

Comey believes that this is not to blame Kobe, but his teammate CBA. After Brand was injured, the Warriors were completely unable to guard the penalty area. Ilgauskas and Al Harrington have entered a period of decline since joining the Warriors. Both ends got worse.

Luol Deng is also seriously overrated, averaging 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 34 minutes per game, while shooting less than 45% from the field.

The Warriors' worst position is the point guard. Barbosa and Watson average less than 3 assists per game, and they only have eyes for the basket after catching the ball. In fact, the two point guards also viewed Kobe the same way, and Barbosa turned into a fixed-point shooter.

There was no suspense in the game. The Suns led all the way. Six players on the team scored in double figures and won 133 to 101.

Guo Xu only played three quarters before getting off work, scoring 17 points, 13 assists and 2 steals. Roy had 22 points and 10 assists. Stoudemire had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Millsap had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Morrow had 11 points.

Almost all of the Suns' points are scored through cooperation, and they rank first in the league in overall assists. The Warriors were on the contrary. Barbosa had no ball rights, and the pick-and-roll tactics with Big Z were omitted. Kobe took turns playing singles on the outside and in the low post.

The Suns guarded Kobe alone and guarded others strictly.

Kobe played 38 minutes and scored 46 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Unfortunately, the support from his teammates was not enough. Only three people in the team scored in double figures.

One day later, the Suns returned home to play against the Warriors again. The scene was almost exactly the same as last time. The Suns won the game with more points, but Kobe Bryant scored 42 points and the team lost.

At the press conference, Guo Xu and his teammates were particularly enthusiastic about complimenting each other. Kobe had a dark face throughout and had no interaction with his teammates.

After the Suns defeated the 76ers at home on February 8, Guo Xu flew to Los Angeles alone overnight to attend the 51st Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center on the 9th.

The best song of the year was not Halo, which was popular among both men and women, but Viva La Vida by the British rock band Coldplay, which caused strong dissatisfaction among 6 billion fans.

Fortunately, Guo Xu did not win nothing. He won one of the three nominations, winning the Best Pop Chorus Award.

The song Hall of Fame became very popular because of the Olympics. Fans all over the world know the BGM of Guo Xumeng's eighth team. Not only basketball fans, but football fans also feel good after hearing it, and it seems that it can also be used in football.

Songs with the theme of athletes winning championships and glory cannot be compared to those choruses of love and love.

Even a small prize was a prize. Guo Xu was very satisfied, and his friends all called him to congratulate him.

This incident immediately spread on the Internet, and Guo Xu became the first athlete in sports history to win a Grammy, an Oscar, an Olympic gold medal, and an NBA championship. When these honors are listed, it feels very real.

After receiving the award, Guo Xu returned to Phoenix and played another game. On the 11th, the Suns defeated the underdog Wizards 124-103. They only lost two games before the Star Weekend, with a total record of 49 wins and 2 losses.

The Wizards' 10-39 record was already in bad shape. Arenas underwent his third knee surgery and was reimbursed for the season after playing only 2 games. After that, the Wizards fell into despair.

Because McGrady left the Rockets early, he has been playing this season and has not been seriously injured to the point of requiring surgery. As a result, he and Jamison had irreconcilable conflicts. After losing a game by 54 points, Jamison publicly angrily criticized McGrady at the press conference and submitted a trade request to the Wizards management.

McGrady played an average of 37.4 minutes per game, made 9 goals in 22.9 attempts, and the overall field goal percentage was 39.4%. He took 5.1 three-point attempts, hit 1.3 goals, and hit 25%. The only thing he was good at was a free throw percentage of 70.7%, 5 times. Hit 3.5 shots.

With so many shots, McGrady averaged 23.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

At this time, another group of lunatics applauded McGrady, thinking that he was the core of the Wizards. The team was suffering from injuries, and even though his teammates were not strong, they still produced star statistics, with 39.2% of the big pull-up two-pointers being invincible.

Jamison really can't bear it anymore. You can slowly become invincible here. I'll leave.

The 2009 All-Star lineup has been determined.

The five starting players in the Western Conference: Guo Xu, Chris Paul, Stoudemire, Duncan, and Yao Ming.

Seven substitutes: Roy, Billups, Kobe, Carmelo Anthony, Joe Johnson, Andrew Bogut, Dirk Nowitzki.

The starting lineup of the Western Conference is unreasonable at first glance, but Guo Xu is the ticket king of the star game, and Paul is more popular than Kobe. According to the rules, they must both play together. Kobe's record was outside the playoffs, and his good statistics were only good enough for him to be selected for the All-Star Game.

There is a group of All-Star leftovers in the Western Conference. The competition is so fierce that players average a double-double per game and even 20+10 players cannot be selected for the All-Star Game.

The Timberwolves have an excellent record, but the coaches still ignore Al Jefferson, a short center who averages 20+11 per game. Pau Gasol and Zach Randolph were also not selected, despite the Grizzlies' sixth-best record.

For a team like the Jazz, which is eighth in the Western Conference, Deron Williams' double-double data was not selected, and David West, who averaged 20 points per game, was not selected. Hornets forward Rashard Lewis, who has a better record and averages nearly 20 points per game, was not selected.

This caused great dissatisfaction among the fans of each team. If you say data is important, a group of players with good statistics are ignored. If you say record is more important, then what happened when Kobe was selected as a substitute?

This kind of controversy is inevitable. The abundance of talents in the Western Conference is the most direct reason. Western fans have sweet troubles.

The starting five in the Eastern Conference: Nash, Wade, James, Garnett, Dwight Howard.

Seven substitutes: Boozer, Mo Williams, Pierce, Ray Allen, O'Neal, Devin Harris, Chris Bosh.

Stars in the Eastern Conference don't have so many choices. O'Neal's statistics have declined and he has been selected to the All-Stars for a short period of time. It is true that there is no center with better statistics than his. Harris and Mo Williams are selected for the first time in their careers.

Guo Xu knew how big the gap between the east and west was as soon as he looked at the lineup.

In the West, Danny Granger's popularity didn't make it into the top ten in the forward selection. He only had a measly 200,000 votes, not even as good as Scola of the Rockets. But in Guo Xu's previous life, Granger became the Pacers' boss this season and was selected as an All-Star.

With such a gap in the lineup, how can there be any suspense in the All-Star Game? Fans are waiting to see the offensive performance of the Western Conference players.
