Chapter 452: He's Not Harry
The day after Erniu's words, major sports media rushed to report on the new season goals of the Celestial Empire superstar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info天籁novel.23txt.
There are approvals and doubts, that is, no one feels that it is disobedient.
As a rule, a sophomore should be immediately criticized for saying that he wants to be the MVP of the regular season, but the truth is, everyone thinks it's normal, well, that's probably the biggest abnormality.
However, when you think about it, is it a problem for a player who scored 29+2o+5 in his rookie season, a superstar who broke the FMVP age record and just led the relatively weak Celestial Empire men's basketball team to defeat Dream Eight?
This is indeed a normal thing.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said: "The biggest controversy right now shouldn't be whether Kraft Nguyen can get the MVP, in fact, he should have been last year.
The problem now is that his salary of 4,000,000 meters is a bug, and the league should introduce new rules, and players who win FMVP and D-POY in their rookie season should be eligible to re-sign their contracts.
It's so unfair that Atlantans can still hold a superstar for three years with a cheap rookie contract!"
Kuban's mouth has always been not small, but this time, many people felt that he had a point.
The existence of a superstar in the Celestial Empire itself is nothing, but the thought that the eagle can use him for three years with such a low salary almost everyone thinks that this is too hard (IMBA, unbalanced).
However, the Eagles will not have time to express their opinions for the time being, and they are now flying to Phoenix, the second visiting city of the preseason.
The Phoenix Suns were the only team to beat the Hawks to the point of losing their temper at home last season.
No, strictly speaking, if the Suns can maintain a high shooting percentage as a team, they can beat all the teams in the league without losing their temper, and of course, this was before O'Neal didn't swap with Marion.
The Suns aren't that run-and-gun team anymore, Mike D'Antoni has been fired, and the new head coach is former Trail Blazers star guard Terry Porter.
This is another die-hard coach, and the only way to think about it is to attack and defend positionally.
If Shaquille O'Neal was still in his prime, there would be no problem doing so, but unfortunately, the big shark is long gone.
As soon as the game started, Ruan Erniu immediately faced O'Neill in the low post.
Last season, O'Neal, who was in declining form, could no longer stop the fledgling Ruan Erniu, and this season, Ruan Erniu's degree is faster and more powerful, and O'Neal's weight has been recuperated after a summer - again marked.
Besides, it's only a preseason game now, and Uncle Ao can play on the court, which is already giving him enough face, and it is simply whimsical to expect him to defend seriously.
Ruan Erniu held the ball in the low post, turned his back and passed O'Neal, and scored an easy layup.
After completing the attack, Erniu even subconsciously glanced at O'Neill, did O'Fat move just now?
The Suns don't play and run, and the overall offense has become very twisted.
After Lao Qu (Nash) dribbled the ball across the half court, he subconsciously wanted to play blocking and dismantling with Xidi (Xiao Si).
On second thought, it wasn't right, the coach was now asking for a position, so after wasting a few seconds of attacking time, the old man sent the ball to O'Neal.
Fat didn't have much to attack**, he flicked the ball into the hands of Stadameyer on mid-distance.
Xi Di is also twisted to death, under normal circumstances, he should now cut the basketball in the air and fly into the air to attack the basket, but now he has to shoot in an awkward position.
"Bang!"
Sure enough, I didn't hit!
Erniu took the backcourt rebound and dribbled directly across the halfcourt, and then passed the ball to Mike Bibby, who made a three-point shot and hit!
If you are a veteran fan who has watched the two teams play more than a season ago, you will definitely think that the two teams have swapped jerseys.
One or two offensive and defensive rounds basically became the epitome of the whole offense and defense of the two teams, but the Hawks, who led by a large score at halftime, still narrowly lost.
Because after O'Neal went off the court, the overall offensive and defensive rhythm of the Suns accelerated significantly.
Although Boris Dio, the Gallic magician, couldn't stop the two bulls on the defensive end, he still gave the Suns a lot of help in offensive combing.
Woodson wasn't obsessed with winning anyway, and he then fielded plenty of substitutes.
Now that the Eagles are the defending champions, they have enough confidence to lose in the preseason.
Because they became champions, they don't have to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and confidence also needs to be cultivated.
Even the unfavorable situation of the main point guard in the finals who was injured and absent has survived, and a small stage like the preseason is no longer important to them.
In this game, Goran Dragic, Ronald Murray, Steve Novak, Chris Anderson, Zaza Pachulia played at least 2o minutes of time as a pure substitute.
The Suns' bench, led by Dio, once chased the score to just one point, and in the final moments of the game, Dragic, who was robbed by the Hawks, stepped up.
The Slovenian star is not a guard favored by the Suns, even if his physical strength is not enough to meet the Hawks' standards, but at critical moments, he used the cover of Birdman Anderson to shoot two three-pointers in succession, laying the foundation for the Hawks to win Game 2 of the playoffs.
In the end, the Eagles won their second preseason game of the O8-O9 season by four points.
The Hawks who won the game were not very happy, but Steve Kerr, the general manager of the Suns, who watched the whole game from the sidelines, had a bad look on his face, and he was already beginning to doubt his ability to be the general manager.
He was hell-bent on bringing in O'Neal last year to make a trade for the team's breakthrough in the playoffs, and then proved his gamble to fail by the Spurs in the first round.
This year, he took a fancy to Dragic, but was robbed by the Hawks ahead of schedule, and after firing D'Antoni, the newly appointed Terry Porter made that set of offensive and defensive positions make the Suns struggle even more.
Kerr is not an idiot, he doesn't want to admit it, but he has to admit that he seems to be making a series of mistakes, bringing in O'Neal last year was a mistake, and this year's firing of D'Antoni and hiring Terry Porter amplified that mistake again.
But no matter what, the general manager's decision cannot be changed overnight, and now it can only be wrong!
Let's hope Terry Porter has the magic to give the Suns a complete makeover.
Cole thought too much about it, if Potter really had this level, he shouldn't be called Terry, but Harry.
But in this case, he shouldn't come to Phoenix, Hogwarts is where he should go.
Steve Nash isn't young anymore, his good times are numbered, and if the Suns continue to swing from side to side over team route selection, the Suns may really want to consider changing teams to find an opportunity to touch the O'Brien Cup as soon as possible.
After the game on January 9, the Eagles went on a non-stop trip and embarked on their road trip again.
They'll travel to Portland to fight the Trail Blazers, the League's youth army.
Is there anything to watch in this game?
Of course!
Because a generation of emperors - Greg Auden is about to appear!
