Legend of Tomorrow

Even if Guo Xu plays health basketball, the Suns still have the best record.

They started with a 10-game winning streak and then lost to the Trail Blazers in an upset. They only lost three games in January. They also lost to the Bucks on the road and the Clippers at home.

The Suns had only lost one game before the February Star Weekend, an away game loss to the Knicks, with a total record of 30 wins and 4 losses.

The schedule in the shortened season is very tight, which has become the Suns' biggest advantage, because they have a lot of players and have the most terrifying rotation in the league.

Teams that lack rotation players are prone to injuries, especially for those players who shoulder heavy responsibilities. Curry, Billups, Al Horford, Bogut, Bosh and others have all been seriously injured.

The Suns didn't have any injured players, and they beat their opponents in every possible way.

After playing 5 games, D'Antoni tried a new rotation method, letting Roy rest for 5 minutes in the first quarter, and taking the bench with Thomas in the second quarter to ensure that there were two outside offensive points with the ball on the field. Richardson was on the court with Thompson in the second half of the first quarter, ensuring three stable outside shooting spots.

Thomas Jr. and Thompson became the hottest rookies in the 2011 class. One has a sharp breakthrough and the other is an accurate three-pointer. Rookie wall? nonexistent.

There is no rookie wall because both of them are functional players who focus on a certain task and do not need to make adjustments at all to play the game. They play the same way from beginning to end.

As long as the opponent doesn't have a speedy point guard in the second quarter, that's Thomas' performance time. He plays pick-and-roll breakthroughs, and the opponent's big men are taller than him, making it impossible to steal him. If the defender is slow to pursue, he will be passed by him.

Thompson is responsible for running, catching and shooting three-pointers. When the opponent's defense is in place, he will take the ball to find his teammates without breaking through. Usually he only specializes in mid-to-long-range shooting. When the opponent's defensive focus is on Guo Xu and Roy, he can easily get opportunities to shoot.

From starter to substitute, Richardson had no objection. He was satisfied to win the championship with the team last season. He signed a mid-level contract that will not expire until 2014. He is willing to play healthy basketball and ensure that he is healthy and can play as a substitute for a while.

The newcomers performed well, greatly reducing the pressure on the core. Everyone in the Suns played less than 30 minutes this season. Guo Xu, who played the most minutes, only averaged 29.6 minutes per game.

In the first 20 games, Guo Xu scored 18.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 13.3 assists and 1.4 steals, shooting 52.9% from the field, 45.3% from the three-point range, and 87.5% from the free throw line.

Guo Xu's data dropped.

For the first time since his debut, he scored less than 20 points, and his shooting percentage is still stable. It is easier to ensure the shooting rate by not shooting when there are no good opportunities.

No one in the Suns averages more than 20 points per game, but seven players average double figures. Winning depends on rotation and efficiency, and getting off work in the third quarter is the norm.

The three starters from the Suns who are good at organizing the ball are always more productive. They can play pick-and-rolls and provide inside support. Even Ibaka, who is the worst offensive player, can catch and shoot accurately. After withstanding the first quarter, the Suns were able to defeat most teams in the second quarter.

There are not many teams that can maintain a stalemate with the Suns until the final quarter. By then, Guo Xu and Roy's one-on-one abilities will be fully utilized.

In the last game before the All-Star Game, against the Mavericks in an away game, Guo Xu relied on a screen to catch the ball and made a two-meter shot from outside the three-point line, facing Kidd and hitting the buzzer beater.

In the shortened season, the star votes received by all players dropped, and Guo Xu once again became the vote leader, with a total of 1.83 million votes. Ranked second is LeBron James with more than 1.6 million votes.

The other four starters in the West are Chris Paul, Durant, Griffin and Bynum.

A very embarrassing situation occurred. Warriors boss Kobe Bryant lost to Paul in the outside popularity competition, but at the center position, Bynum was overwhelmingly elected as the starter.

Because there are no star insiders injured in the Western Conference this year, the second most popular one is Pau Gasol of the Grizzlies, who received 470,000 votes, and the third most popular one is Marc Gasol with 430,000 votes.

The Warriors' current record is also very poor, ranking ninth in the Western Conference and outside the playoffs, and they are continuing to decline.

The good-for-nothing elementary school student who was often criticized by Comey and nicknamed Nobikouri was declared retired after playing only 23 games due to an ankle injury. The Warriors were in a hurry at the No. 1 position, so they had to sign Ismael Smith, who was not drafted into the NBA, in the free market to put out the fire.

Ismail is 183cm tall and weighs 79kg. His specialty is breaking through with the ball and his shooting is very bad.

If this person is only responsible for dribbling and passing the ball across half court, then it will be of no use at all. Not only is he short on the defensive end, but he is also weak and suffers in confrontation. His defensive ability is much worse than Curry's.

Without Curry and Redick not starting, the Warriors will be completely unable to create space and break through the 122 zone defense. The Warriors' tactics are that Kobe, Bynum, and Brand take turns attacking in the low post, with Luol Deng becoming a fixed-point shooter from the outside.

Luol Deng averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game and shot 36.7% from the field. The improvement is obvious, and it was all forced.

Luol Deng had had enough and asked his agent to propose a trade in the hope of playing for another team. He can do it anywhere, it doesn't matter how weak he is, it's better than being a blue-collar guy with the Warriors all his life. He only averaged 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game this year.

The Warriors also want to trade for better stars to assist Kobe, but no team is willing to trade them. Looking at the data, they all feel that Luol Deng is not good and the contract is too big. They are only willing to give out junk contracts as bargaining chips, and the Warriors will not be happy with that.

Fans hope to trade Curry, but this burden cannot be traded. He has potential injuries and will not be able to play this season.

Backup shooting guard Redick didn't play much, and his poor short-handed defense wasn't very good either. He replaced Curry and became the Warriors' first scapegoat. He couldn't stand it anymore and proposed a trade.

The Warriors can't let Redick go now. If they let him go again, there will be no one to shoot three-pointers.

Robert Smith helped his brother Matt consult Guo Xu and asked what the Warriors should do if they want to rebuild? After being the boss for just over a year, Matt started to feel overwhelmed. Running a team was far more difficult than he imagined.

Robert chatted with Guo Xu and talked about the current situation of the Warriors: Other teams are unwilling to trade. The atmosphere in the locker room is like a prison. The players do not communicate with each other. Kobe has always been dissatisfied with the lineup and forced the palace to ask for a trade. If it were you, now What will happen?”

Trade Kobe for an off-ball shooting guard, and keep Curry as the core for rebuilding. Next season, you can consider choosing a high-ranking rookie and then rise. If you can trade Kobe for draft picks, it would be best to use him and Bran It would also be good to package the deal and clear up salary space.

The relationship between the Robert family and Guo Xu is much closer than the relationship between Guo Xu and Kobe. As soon as they consulted, Guo Xu gave the correct answer in his mind.

At this time, Curry is already a target that can be missed, but Curry and Guo Xu are both point guards and their positions overlap. The Solar won't trade him, so will Curry only play 20 minutes per game as a substitute?

As for where Kobe will go after leaving the Warriors, it's none of Guo Xu's business. The Warriors are watching the deal. If Kobe doesn't leave, the young players will have no play at all. The Warriors can only rely on Kobe to attract fans to watch the game at home, and no big-name stars are willing to join.

Kobe's ball-dominating nature will never change. With him as a rookie, there's no way he can stand out. In the 20 years of Kobe Bryant's career with the Lakers, there was not a single example of the newcomers around him excelling. Bynum is probably the only one. What did he say when he left the Lakers?

Robert asked: Are you sure Curry can do it?

Try it and you'll be in for a surprise. The Warriors are your family's industry. I won't let you lose money in vain.
