Legend of Tomorrow

Every year in the NBA, several players whose reputations are wasted and who are overpaid and incompetent are traded. It is a good thing that Marion can go to the Wizards.

The Wizards have the weakest wing. Marion will be the starter and will get a lot of the ball. Wall is also a point guard who is good at launching fast breaks.

The Suns also signed a veteran with a minimum salary at the last moment, bringing in Rasheed Wallace who was unemployed at home.

Roaring God was particularly embarrassed this summer. While his die-hard fans were still bragging about his textbook post-up play, he had no ball to play with. Although he has not announced his retirement and still wants to strive for a championship ring, his performance of shooting less than 45% for 7 consecutive seasons has stopped all teams.

Die-hard fans like to watch Rasheed's straight-arm jump shots, but managers of various teams don't like to watch his textbook iron play.

The reason why the Suns assembled a fifteen-man roster was because O'Neal was injured at the end of February.

In the game against the Bobcats, O'Neal ran forward during an offense and defense transition without making physical contact with anyone. He suddenly limped on his right foot and then came off the court to rest.

Aopang refused to accept his old age. After the examination, he had a recurrence of an old foot injury. He also has an old knee injury and cannot withstand collisions. He was hit once on his left knee and missed two weeks of the game due to knee swelling.

O'Neal chatted with Guo Xu and said that he would retire after this season and that he would not be able to hold on any longer. He often had to recuperate at home, so he might as well just go do something else. Therefore, the result of this season is more important. O'Neal hopes to win the championship with the team and have a perfect ending.

The Suns signed Rasheed as a substitute, which is barely useful. He can pick and roll defenders, catch the ball and shoot three-pointers. This is the only advantage left. On the defensive end, he is only fast enough to play center. He weighs only 104 kilograms and has no rebounds.

In March, the Suns lost 5 games, and Roy was in a sluggish state. He averaged 30 minutes per game this month, with only 15.3 points and 3.8 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 43.4%.

Because Roy limited his playing time and played healthy basketball like Ginobili, he didn't suffer any serious injuries. He was simply in a slump and couldn't find his rhythm, and his singles efficiency dropped.

In this case, Guo Xu can only take on more offensive tasks, take more shots and pass less.

D'Antoni asked Roy to find his condition during training, and during the game, Richardson and Guo Xu were on one side. After attracting double-teams, he could pass to the low post or Richardson.

The Suns made money by signing Richardson to a mid-level contract. He shoots three-pointers very steadily, and his average field goal percentage has remained above 40%.

In order to ensure the winning rate, Guo Xu also increased his playing time and often formed a double defender with Dragic.

Dragic, who is 191cm tall, suffers from a defensive disadvantage at position 2. His advantage is that he can launch counterattacks faster and break through more sharply. After the positional battle is covered by the inside players, the top two defenders can easily get the opportunity to misplace the big man.

It's not good to defend against the sun like this, and it's bad to interfere with shooting from the outside. Guo Xu is often faced with jumpers. Gasol switches to poor pick-and-rolls and can only defend near the penalty area. When encountering a team that shoots more three-pointers, the Suns may lose. Both sides compete for touch.

Unconsciously, Guo Xu's average playing time increased to 34.2 minutes per game, his scoring data surpassed Durant, and he ranked first in the league with an average of 29.2 points per game.

After the All-Star Game, Durant's statistics dropped a bit. Center Horford was in better shape and took more shots, and second-year DeRozan also took some of the ball away from him.

In April, Guo Xu's number one goal has become to get 30+10 data, and he wants to win the scoring and assists titles at the same time.

On April 1st, the Clippers were unlucky. If Guo Xu deliberately wanted to improve, the data would be very beautiful.

The Suns won at home. Guo Xu scored 62 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, easily beating Baron Davis.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Clippers traded Baron Davis and a 2011 first-round pick to the Cavaliers in exchange for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon. In the summer of 2011, the Cavaliers were lucky enough to use that draft pick to select Kyrie Irving with the No. 1 pick.

Now the Cavaliers are not a rebuilding team, and they will not be so nervous as to replace Davis, who is in serious decline, with Mo Williams. That will affect the team's championship this season. The Cavaliers won the second game against the Suns in March, which gave them a little hope. They just wanted to trade for immediate combat power.

Owner Donald Sterling was very depressed when he didn't send away Davis. He didn't know how important it was for them to keep that draft pick. Even if they didn't get the No. 1 pick, there were still many outstanding players behind them. It would be better than poaching Mo Mo in the summer. Then send out many players to poach Chris Paul.

After a day off, the Suns defeated the Spurs away from home. Guo Xu scored 40 points and 12 assists.

Tony Parker was almost made to cry by Guo Xu again. He made 2 of 11 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.

Popovich only allowed Parker to play for 28 minutes. He no longer had the confidence to compete with Guo Xu. Most of his shots were jump shots against people, and his scoring relied on misplaced breakthroughs after screens.

George Hill's defense against Guo Xu was slightly better, but he couldn't get past anyone on the offensive end, and he was interfering with his shots again and again.

After this game, the Suns, with 60 wins and 15 losses, ranked first in the league, the Spurs, with 57 wins and 19 losses, ranked second in the Western Conference. The Cavaliers, with the best record in the Eastern Conference, had 58 wins, and were two games behind the Suns.

Then the Suns lost to the Bulls and Mavericks. Guo Xu had a great performance against the Kings, scoring 55 points, 4 rebounds, 14 assists and 5 steals, and Benno Udrih couldn't find him.

Udri, who is 191cm tall, is a white point guard with a very slow lateral movement. When Guo Xu passes him, he just changes direction and he can't keep up with the speed at all.

The substitutes Luther Hyde and Jermaine Taylor are even worse. They both tend to be shooting guards rather than point guards. When they play, Harden is the one organizing the offense.

After letting go of Richardson and Felton in vain, the Kings succeeded in committing suicide. This season, they only ranked 14th in the Western Conference. Harden and Lopez could not lead the team.

Richardson made 4 of 9 three-pointers and scored 20 points, the Suns' second scoring point, causing the Kings' home fans to defect. In fact, even if the Kings management wanted to renew Richardson's contract, they would not be able to keep him because he is a completely free man.

In the last game of the regular season, the Suns' opponent was the Spurs.

The Suns have secured the best record in the league in advance, and Guo Xu has also secured the scoring and assist titles, averaging 30.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 11.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game, shooting 48.6% from the field, 43.7% from three-point range, and 89.8% from free throws. .

If it weren't for his second consecutive MVP, there would be no suspense about this year's MVP, but now he has little chance.

D'Antoni and Guo Xu discussed and let him rest for the last game, and his appearance was just to brush up the statistics, which was meaningless. He can rest for one more game and avoid the possibility of injury.

Gasol also took a rest, but the Suns still defeated the Spurs at home, with five players scoring in double figures.

The best performer on the team was Gortat. He played 36 minutes, made 10 of 16 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and had a double-double of 21 points, 13 rebounds and 1 assist. He did not fall behind against Duncan, who only had 17 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

Roy was the second best performer, scoring 17 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

Parker didn't perform well against Dragic, making 4 of 12 shots and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 12 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

Spurs fans are very depressed. Parker is now habitually turning into a soft-footed shrimp when playing against the Suns. If the two teams meet in the playoffs, how can the Spurs win?

The Suns ranked first in the league with a record of 65 wins and 17 losses. After watching this game, experts and fans are generally optimistic that the Suns will successfully defend their title. It seems that no team in the West can prevent them from advancing to the finals, and the strength of the East has always been inferior to that of the West.

The Eastern Conference has not won a championship since 1998...
