The other three Suns also performed well, scoring in double figures and shooting more than 50% from the field.

Usually the All-Star Game players don't work together well and rely on individual ability to solve problems, and when a team has four players selected at the same time, it's a huge advantage because they have a lot of chemistry and can play like they did when they were at the club.

This happened in Guo Xu's previous life, when the Pistons were selected together in the 2006 Houston All-Star Game to help the East come back from a big deficit to win.

It was an all-star game that impressed Chinese fans extremely much, Guo Xu watched the live broadcast in his previous life, and he was very angry.

Yao Ming disappointed Chinese fans by not competing due to injury, and Maddie was the favorite to win the MVP as the sole host. He also worked hard with his teammates, shooting 15-of-26 from the field and 4-of-10 from three-point range to score a game-high 36 points.

Despite the deliberate efforts of his teammates, it is also an indisputable fact that Maddy's form is average, and his scoring relies on breakouts, and the lack of rebounds and 2-of-7 free throws in the whole game shows that his performance is not perfect.

In the end, Maddie lost the MVP, and the Western team was defeated by a big reversal, mainly because the four incomprehensible guys of the Pistons played very seriously on the court, and cooperated with the tacit understanding to defend a wave.

Later, 2 lies circulated in that All-Star.

One is that James snatched Maddy's MVP, well, it was indeed "robbed", and the East also "robbed" the West to win. It's just a matter of teammates cooperating, do you still expect opponents to cooperate with Maddie to win MVP? The Western forces also led by 21 points in the third quarter, and with just over the quarter remaining, the East completed a 21-point comeback, a victory with super gold content.

The second is that Kobe Bryant deliberately became Maddie and was willing to be a green leaf. This is quite a bit of a "gold on your face". Kobe Bryant is not a safflower in the first place, so how can he be "willing to be a green leaf"?

In the third quarter of the reversal, Kobe Bryant was on the court to guard Wade, completely unable to keep up with Wade's rhythm, and was dizzy by the fast attack of James and Wade, watching the point difference being eroded, and was forced to make 3 turnovers and 5 fouls throughout the game.

All five fouls Kobe Bryant was still on the court at the last moment, which is willing to be a green leaf? It's clear that it's a game of life, but it can't be beaten......

Bryant's stats in that game were 4-of-11 shooting, 0-of-5 three-pointers, and he had 8 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. He played a game like, and if he had a good shooting hand, he would definitely have more than 11 shots, but he was glorified by Copher to the point of exaggeration because he gave Maddie four assists. There are even people who say that the last offense let Kobe Bryant shoot maybe win, hehe.

Guo Xu played a particularly cool game today, he was the only red flower, and the others were all green leaves.

After the game, the reporter interviewed Guo Xu: "When the four players of the Suns appeared on the court at the same time, you cooperated very tacitly, do you think this is the main reason for winning?" ”

"Actually, I work well with Tim (Duncan), Yao Ming, and Ray Allen, and I'm very happy every time I go to the All-Star Game, and it's easy to score and assist with talented people, which is a great feeling."

Guo Xu gave a short speech, thanking all his temporary teammates and his coach Popovich.

Popovich will not offend league officials and fans by restricting Guo Xu's playing time because he doesn't like to see players in the limelight. But Guo Xu was really a little worried about this old brain before the game, because he missed him in the Spurs draft that year.

The Stars Weekend has officially come to an end, and the home crowd is a little overwhelmed as they can't support their own stars, and it doesn't feel like a success. Interestingly, the only thing the Nuggets remember tonight is their mascot, the lion cub "Loki". He is currently the highest-paid mascot in the NBA and performs like no other.

In addition to often stepping on the spring pad to perform "falling from the sky" dunk, Loki's biggest trick is the midfielder's back to the basket and throwing shots, he performed during the break, hitting one in three attempts, which is a very amazing shooting rate, I heard that this is also one of the important reasons why Loki's annual salary can exceed one million.

That night, the Suns flew back to their home court, this time with a more relaxed schedule, no game off tomorrow, and they faced the Clippers at home on the 23rd.

Joe Johnson rarely took the initiative to invite Guo Xu to sit with him, saying that he wanted to discuss something with him, and Guo Xu agreed.

After getting on the plane, Joe Johnson was expressionless and silent.

After taking off, Guo Xu took the initiative to ask: "Qiao, if you have something, just say it, what words are you trying to use to express it best?" ”

Joe Johnson smiled a little embarrassed, and was told by Guo Xu. He took a deep breath and whispered, "Jason, I hope you can help me next...... Brush data. ”

In his opinion, this is an unspeakable thing, and his face looks even darker.

Guo Xu didn't hesitate and smiled: "That's it? No problem, if you had said earlier, I could have helped you brush the data in the first half of the journey. ”

Joe Johnson sluggish: "......"

"If you're in a contract year, you should brush the data, otherwise how can you get a big contract? Brian should have talked to your agent about a contract extension, right? "Guo Xu never wanted to save money for the Suns.

"Yes, he wanted to renew his contract early, but he said that the Suns couldn't give me a cap salary, and I wanted to see if I could get a bigger contract, so I didn't agree. Do you think I'm too greedy? "Joe Johnson is a little embarrassed.

"Of course not, you have the strength, and the high salary is what you deserve. Whether you choose to stay with the Suns next season or go to another team to be the boss, I would suggest that you brush up on a game and I'll keep giving you passes and you try to score 50 or 60 points. ”

"If I'm going to leave the sun, don't you blame me?"

"What do I blame you? Who wouldn't love a big contract or being a core? I've played two seasons with the Lakers, and I know exactly how you feel. Although your personality and I are very different, you have the strength to be the core. ”

Guo Xu paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I respect your choice, but if you leave, it will definitely be difficult to win the championship again." ”

Guo Xu feels that Joe Johnson's best position is to be the second leader, and he is unqualified as the core, because he doesn't like to talk, and his scoring ability is not very explosive. He averages around 20 points per game, is well-rounded but not dominant, has a style similar to Pierce, and needs a good teammate to be successful.

Joe Johnson was silent for a moment, then squeezed out a sentence "I want to try." ”。

Guo Xu immediately understood his thoughts, which meant that I wanted to try to be the core, rather than trying to brush data.

Joe Johnson's taciturn doesn't mean he's stupid, doesn't mean he's not ambitious, or he's an honest man. Even if he is, don't his family and friends around him, and the brokerage team behind him have no ambitions?

When you're not just representing your own interests, but the interests of a large group of people, the issues are often much more complicated.

At present, the widespread public opinion is that as long as Guo Xu is around, any player can play Joe Johnson's data. Although there are also media who praise him, saying that he is seriously underrated, his statistics are not very convincing, like Spurs' Ginobili.

When Guo Xu first joined the Suns, he made up his mind to keep Joe Johnson, and now he has changed his mind.

One is that the twisted melon is not sweet, and Joe Johnson wants to prove that he can play well and become an All-Star without playing next to Guo Xu. The second is that Guo Xu also wants to prove that he has the ability to help his teammates become stronger, no matter who this person is.

"Play next to him and become a star", what a cool label!
