Guo Xu's record and winning rate in February were the best in the league, and he once again won the Western Player of the Month Award and the Western Weekly Player of the Year Award three times.

Heading into March, the Suns got off to a bad start, losing 101-107 at home to the Hornets and then 98-105 at home to the Timberwolves.

Guo Xu's performance was stable, playing 44 minutes, scoring 33 points, 11 assists and 28 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals respectively, but his teammates were in poor condition, especially Marion, who suddenly lost his crosshairs.

In the loss to the Timberwolves, Marion was repeatedly missed from the outside, shooting 3-of-15 in 44 minutes, 1-of-6 three-pointers, and 3-of-4 free throws, scoring 10 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. He didn't do a good job defending Szczebiak, who had 18 points, eight rebounds and two assists, and shot 4-of-6 from three-point range.

A healthy Szczebiak is not much worse than the Kings' Peja Stojakovic, and the two have very similar styles, both are accurate catch-and-shoot and can attack with the ball.

The Suns have lost three of their last four games, tied with the Spurs at 42-18 and the Mavericks continue to lead the league at 46-14. The Kings are 42-19 and in fourth place behind halftime.

As the second leader of the team, Marion's bad play has a great impact on the team, Guo Xu didn't blame him, and invited Marion to dinner alone before facing the Warriors at home and chatted with him.

"Sean, have you had anything on your mind lately? If you need help, just say it, don't hold back. ”

Marion was a little embarrassed and smiled, "Thank you, I haven't had anything on my mind lately...... I'm just not in good shape. ”

Guo Xu smiled: "Then relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself, think of something interesting, or call your girlfriend to watch a movie, have a candlelight dinner or something." ”

Marion bared his teeth, his expression was very embarrassed, if it weren't for his lack of neck, Guo Xu might still be able to see him shrinking his neck, but now he just shook his shoulders.

After 15 seconds of silence, Marion smiled wryly: "Actually, my girlfriend and I just broke up. ”

Guo Xu Khan said: "I'll rub it, don't you still have something on your mind?" What's the situation? ”

"It's just a breakup, she said I was too naïve, different from what she imagined, and I didn't want to make changes for her." Marion smiled wryly.

Guo Xu nodded. "Dude, you and I thought it was different at first, but I would never ask you to make a change, you are fine now, if a woman wants to change you, there is nothing to be sorry for this kind of person, one day you will definitely meet someone you can talk to."

Marion sighed and asked, "Will there be a woman willing to accompany me to watch the cartoon channel?" ”

"Of course, there are people in this world who have plastic surgery in order to turn themselves into Jack Card Bunny Girls, and have the doctor remove 6 ribs from her body, and there are people who like cartoons."

"Really? And such people? Why don't I just look for her. Marion laughed.

“……”

After Guo Xu joined the Suns, Marion has already had two girlfriends. He was a football star, rich and young, and although he looked a bit cartoonish, he still attracted a lot of women.

Most of the last woman came for money, and after a few days of talking, she asked for a car and a house, and Marion took the initiative to share it with her. Recently, I just graduated from university, studying economics, a bit old-fashioned, talking about investment and financial management, saying that I can't get used to Marion's childish behavior.

Marion was born into a single-parent family and grew up with her mother, Elaine, and three sisters. Elaine became unexpectedly pregnant in her first year of high school and was pregnant with twins, and she is a real-life version of the movie Juno.

"When they told me it was a boy and a girl, I was really stunned." Elaine later said in an interview: "I want my son to be a basketball player and my daughter to be a cheerleader. I still whisper in my heart, "God, give me the strength to take care of the children." ”

Elaine did just that, but it was a lot of hardship. After giving birth to Marion and his twin sister, Elaine moved several times. Marion attended high school in Tennessee and later went to college in Las Vegas. Until now, Elaine's family has been living in Las Vegas.

Marion has a lot of hobbies, his favorite thing to do is to watch cartoons, usually his TV is always on the cartoon channel, not only watching famous cartoons, but also some very bad cartoons.

Therefore, the personality of this macho man is actually similar to that of Japanese fat otaku, obsessed with two-dimensional.

In addition, he enjoys snacking and playing RC racing, which he has several at home.

Marion also likes to play game consoles, not computer games or big games from PS2, but very old coin-operated consoles. He is a master of playing Donkey Kong and Pac-Man......

Except for his more familiar teammates and friends, who would have thought that he was such a person? Is it worthy of his murderous face?

Guo Xu likes Marion very much, he is a good person with innocence, love, and filial piety. His first money after joining the NBA was to buy a house in Las Vegas for his mother.

He also has a hobby of playing poker and gambling, but the bet is not as big as Jordan's, and it belongs to the type of small betting. Because the whole family has been living in Las Vegas, he has not bought a house in Phoenix, and he has always lived in an apartment, which is very close to Guo Xu.

In short, in every way, Marion is a weirdo, even more weird than Joe Johnson, but he has a more cheerful personality and gets along well with his teammates.

The two chatted about messy things for a while, and when they were about to go home after eating, Guo Xu mentioned the basketball game.

"Relax, as long as you have a chance at night, I will still pass the ball to you, it doesn't matter if you can't shoot from the outside, you can help the team with defense and rebounding, grab the backcourt rebound and pass, I'll get them."

Marion asked, "Now is the crucial moment for you to compete for the MVP, aren't you nervous?" ”

"Nervous can't compete for MVP, you can play good statistics, you can pass me more at night, their forward Battier has a good defense, and it is easier to score by bypassing him to attack."

"No problem, I'll help you win the MVP, I promise." Marion laughed.

He is not jealous of Guo Xu, he can't even mix with the All-Star starter, almost no fans are willing to vote for him, and he has long thought about becoming a top star.

Marion renewed his contract with the Sun in September last year ahead of schedule and received a maximum salary of 80 million for 6 years, which is 5 million higher than Guo Xu. He doesn't have any pressure in his life now, and his dream is to be a second-in-command like Pippen and help the Suns win championships.

But it's a bit difficult, and when a few newcomers grow up, their strength is no worse than Marion, and sooner or later he will have to sacrifice data for the team, which is a matter of the past few years.

also wants to shoot more and play good statistics, Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant are essentially the same thing in the Lakers, they also want to take more responsibility after the team loses in a row.

The difference is that Guo Xu communicated with his teammates in advance, even if Marion is much less famous than O'Neal, he will put everything on the table, which will make his teammates feel more comfortable.

On the other hand, if he reduces his passing and takes more shots directly on the field, Marion will feel that he is not trusted.

Guo Xu's college in his previous life was not in vain, his emotional intelligence can explode 90% of NBA players, unless there is a thorn in the character problem, he will not be disgusted with him.
