Chapter 727 [Thinking about money and going crazy, dry pulling is picturesque]

As long as Stoudamire is still playing for the Suns, Roy will never be a second-hand man.

Roy doesn't care about his status in the team, he has a good time in the Suns, he is often praised, and he has learned a lot from Guo Xu. He averaged 15.1 points, 3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 47.7% from the field, a performance that has surprised many people.

Marion's mood is not so good, his average playing time per game has dropped significantly, and his statistics have also dropped to 14.5 points, 7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals, and only the shooting rate of 52.5% is better.

When Joe Johnson was around, Marion showed signs of mixing from a two-player to a four-in-command, and now Roy has scored more points than him in his rookie season, which has caused him to be unhappy.

People's mentality will change, and Marion plans to leave after this season, if he doesn't leave, his status in the Suns will get lower and lower, and the evaluation he will get worse and worse, and he will not be selected as an All-Star in the future.

When he was in the locker room, Marion spoke a lot less, and Guo Xu guessed his thoughts but did not persuade him. Marion had proposed a trade in 2007 and there were two places he wanted to go — the Jazz or the Lakers.

The Suns' reluctance to renew Marion's contract with a high salary is the reason why he wants to leave, his offer for a contract extension is 3 years and 60 million US dollars, of course the Suns will not give it, an ordinary all-star with no commercial value, the salary required is about the same as that of a superstar, you want to go crazy for money, right?

Now with three championship rings in his hand, Marion knows that he is not the boss material, he just wants to play good statistics on a weak team, try to sign another big contract, and want a high salary more than in his previous life.

In the whole of November, the Suns only played two games of scorching, and the rest were all hanging.

On the 26th, at home against the Trail Blazers, the Suns won by 61 points 139-78, which made the Trail Blazers players almost cry, and this point difference can rank among the top ten in NBA history.

If it weren't for the relatively short time of the Suns' starting four scorers, Guo Xu only played 18 minutes and rested, this game would probably set a record for the largest point difference in history.

In the first quarter, Aldridge and Milicic were defended to death, the advantage of the two is that they have the range to shoot, and the disadvantage is that they have poor confrontation, they rely too much on shooting, and they will perform very poorly once they don't feel good.

TJ Ford is strong in attack and weak in defense, shorter than Guo Xu, and there is basically no confrontation. Not only can he not prevent Guo Xu, but he can't prevent the "little steel cannon" Lowry when he encounters a counterattack from the Sun, who can force a layup against him, which is quite unreasonable.

Although the Trail Blazers do not have a garbage contract, they also have Roy and Randolph, and they are sure to be at the bottom of the record this season, and they will strive to select another high-pick rookie next year, with a good chance of getting the top pick.

On the 29th, the Suns defeated the Rockets 110-95 at home.

Maddie shot just 9-of-26, 2-of-9 from three-point range and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line under the care of Ariza and Marion, finishing with 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists while shooting 34.6% from the field.

Yao Ming only made 11 shots in the game, hitting 6 of 6 and 6 of 8 free throws, and finished with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. If it weren't for Spanolys's 18-point performance, the Rockets would have been slaughtered.

Maddie is a little crazy, since the start of the season he has averaged 9 long-range shots within the three-point line per game, although the shooting rate is 44.1%, but will he die if he takes that step? He shot just 43 percent from the field overall and 32.4 percent from three-point range.

On the surface, Maddie's 22+5+5 data is good, but in fact, the low hit rate can't be seen, and the real hit rate barely exceeds fifty percent, but he still wants to consolidate his position as the boss, and Yao Ming rarely cooperates.

Because Van Gundy was fired, the Rockets tended to build a team with Yao Ming as the core, and the relationship between Yao and Mai began to change.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the relationship between the two began to change in the 2007-08 season, and Maddie once wanted to unite with his teammates to isolate Yao Ming, and later admitted it in an interview. In the second half of that season, Yao Ming was absent due to injury, and the two did not have a stiff fight.

In the 2008-09 season, Maddie was completely abandoned after surgery, and he was no longer able to compete with Yao Ming, and was miserably isolated in the Rockets.

After Yao Ming was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, he gave a speech thanking many people, without mentioning Maddie, which shows how annoying Yao Ming is.

The people on the thank you list in Yao Ming's speech are all people who helped him grow during his low or difficult times. Maddie didn't help Yao Ming improve, the kind of big mid-range shot had a very low arc, bounced far away, and even gave him a few times to help the board.

The personalities of the two are also not compatible, Yao Ming is approachable and has no shelves, and Maddie is a bit unruly and arrogant. How can people with completely different personalities become good friends?

On the basketball court, Yao Ming never hugged Maddie's thigh, Maddie only played a good game for one season after coming to the Rockets, and then he was a blacksmith with the most inefficient shots.

Maddie is still popular because of Yao Ming's relationship, even if he has bad statistics, he can still be selected as an All-Star starter, and most of the votes are cast by Chinese fans. This person is never grateful, he thinks he is awesome, he is picturesque, and he has a large number of Chinese fans and Yao Ming, because those people can't stop his dry pull jumper.

The truth is, Maddie didn't make the 2008 All-Star Game as soon as she shouted the slogan "You're going to be isolated......

Of course, Maddie fans do have many Chinese fans, and by 2018, Maddy had blown up Durant at the peak.

Can you believe it if you check the data a little? In the playoffs, Maddy, who led the team from the first round, completely exploded Durant, because he had a 43.1% two-point shooting rate at his peak and was also 42.3% "invincible" in the middle distance! The theory is so bullish, if Maddie can lead the team to the division finals, it is estimated that he will surpass Jordan without injury.

You may not believe it, but Maddy's overall midfield shooting percentage has never exceeded 43 percent, his peak season true shooting percentage is 56.4 percent, and this time in his career true shooting percentage has exceeded 55 percent.

On the day of the game, Guo Xu invited Yao Ming to his pizzeria for lunch, and chatted with him about movies and the entertainment industry, but not basketball. Because he knows very well that the current Rockets team has no future, and it is definitely not an opponent for the Suns.

If the Rockets want to play well, they don't necessarily have to have Yao Ming as the core, but Maddy must be sent away, Alston must go, and Juwan Howard must go, these people don't have a high shooting percentage on the offensive end, the defense is not hard, and the contract is more outrageous.

If the Rockets don't have good wing defenders, they won't be able to go far in the playoffs, even if the old Nelson leads the team to survive in the second round. It's a pity that the Rockets failed to trade Battier, and it was even more difficult to exchange for Artest, who joined the Lakers, and it was obviously not possible to rely on Maddy and Sefrosha on the wings.

Sefrosa is highly motivated defensively, but his offense is too bad, and he can't shoot at fixed points, in Guo Xu's previous life, he didn't practice offense well until 2018, and he was a defensive blue-collar worker.

Guo Xu will not give Yao Ming advice to force Maddie away, his character will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing, he just works hard to do his part, and then plays ball.

Moreover, Guo Xu's suggestion does not do him any good, and it will appear to have ulterior motives. If Maddie is really traded away and replaced with a great star to join the Rockets and improve the team, what good will it do him and the Suns? There will only be one more competitor.

Even if Guo Xu doesn't mention it, Maddie won't be there for long, and Nelson Sr. wants to trade him out this summer. He can endure it for another season at most, and if the boss Alexander doesn't agree, he will have to consider forcing the palace.

Nelson Sr. doesn't look down on Maddy, just like when Finley was at his peak, he would vigorously develop Nash and Nowitzki and share a lot of the ball.

He wants to send Maddie away while he is still popular, and exchange for the kind of star who is selfless and likes teamwork......
