On Oct. 1, the Suns held a media day at their home arena.

Guo Xu, Stoudamire, Roy, Grant Hill, and Haslem took core makeup photos, which are expected to be the starting lineup for the new season.

Guo Xu said in an interview: "Our goal for the new season is the championship, if we don't win it is a failure, I personally have 100% confidence to beat all opponents, last season's defeat was just because of bad luck." ”

The reporter asked: "The Suns did not bring in big-name free agents in the summer when they had salary space, what do you think of the team's reinforcements?" ”

"I'm happy with the way the team is working, and now the Suns have a strong roster."

Guo Xu also commented on the new teammates, even the undrafted rookie Anthony Morrow, and Giammario Moon, who played in the exhibition match, he also expressed optimism.

'I believe they can play and I believe they have potential, they just have to run and shoot the ball when they get my pass, it's a simple job.'

New teammates have been even more reluctant to praise Guo Xulai, Gerald Green said: "He is the best player in NBA history, it is an honor to be teammates with him, and I can't wait to work with him." ”

"The two games against the U.S. at the Olympics were my nightmares, and now it's my turn to team up with Jason and give everyone else a nightmare," Gasol Jr. said. ”

After the interview, Guo Xu invited his teammates to have dinner together, and D'Antoni briefly talked about the tactics, that is, to run, both offensive and defensive ends. Only Gasol Jr. doesn't need to play fast attacks, he looks like he can't run.

The positional battle is just as simple, pulling away and handing the ball to Guo Xu to deal with, the Suns' tactics are so simple and crude, and effective.

The next day was an open training session, and the Suns' rookies surprised the fans who came to watch the training. They didn't play like an intra-team game, more like an All-Star Game, and even more so than an all-Star Game dunk.

Everyone knows that Green is physically fit, his bounce is probably the best in the league, he can change hands to dunk under his crotch with his bare feet, and he can blow out the birthday cake candle placed on the basket while dunking.

What people didn't expect was that the 28-year-old rookie Moon was also this kind of flyer, and his head was over the frame when he dunked.

These two are not bad at defending by relying on physical advantages, they are both 203CM tall and weigh 93 kg, and they are fast but slightly weaker in confrontation.

On the counter-attack, Guo Xu sent away a number of free catches, Green staged a big right-handed windmill with a flat head, and Moon had two long-range gliding dunks, one of which jumped just over the free throw line.

The Suns picked up another leak, Green was seriously underestimated, Moon entered the league a year late, in Guo Xu's previous life, Moon joined the Raptors in 2007, and now the Raptors have Marvin Williams, there is no shortage of people at the small forward position, and he was not signed.

Morrow's physical fitness is a little worse, but his three-point ability is top-notch, if not top-notch, and the open space is very certain.

Among the interior players, Xiao Si, Gortat, and Jordan Jr. also dunked at every opportunity.

Little Jordan's style of play is the fiercest, more fierce than Little Si. He is very fast in the air after blocking and dismantling, and as soon as he receives the ball, he is a violent dunk, and he catches it with both hands and splits it with one hand, all of which are unstoppable. It's impossible to foul fiercely between teammates in a practice match, and this kind of occasion is the best place for Jordan Jr. to play.

Because his teammates didn't foul, Jordan Jr. scored a lot of points, and he hasn't exposed his weakness in free throws.

His performance stunned the fans, and the 28th place in the first round could choose such a strong inside line, and he made a lot of money.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Jordan Jr. was unpopular in the draft, and he was selected by the Clippers in the second round, which is indeed a bit puzzling. Even if he is a rough brother and can't practice his offensive skills, he is worth choosing based on his physical condition alone, at least he is an excellent blue-collar worker.

Considering that Hashem Thabit was the star of the list in 2009, it can only be explained by the fact that most of the team's scouts are mentally retarded.

After a season of running-in, "Polish Hammer" Gortat gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Suns' game, and he was also very fast after blocking and dismantling, and he was not a vegetarian when he buckled. He also has a good low footwork, but the range is poor.

No matter how beautiful the deduction is, it is only two points, and the inside line who can shoot is the star. Xiao Si can be inside and outside, and after blocking and dismantling in the middle, he caught the ball and shot two three-pointers, and the hard work in the summer has borne fruit.

It's a pity that he only has one point in the middle lane, and he can't practice on both sides, so he tried but couldn't.

It is worth mentioning that Millsap also practiced three-pointers in the summer, making two shots in practice, and his mid-range shooting was a little better than last season. He did better than Haslem in the first training session, and it doesn't have to be who starts the new season.

The worst performer on the inside was Gasol Jr., who was the only slow-moving player on the team, defending around the box and not very good at protecting rebounds in the backcourt.

The team must have a defensive meat shield center, Gasol Jr. can be called a balanced offensive and defensive, but there is no room for him to play in the team's training matches, because none of his teammates like to play back.

On the offensive end, Gasol Jr.'s task is to cover his teammates off the ball on the baseline and side, and then catch the ball and shoot it or cut to the basket to catch the ball and hit it hard. Embarrassingly, Gortat and Xiao Si were able to resist him who was one size larger.

He has empty weight and poor explosiveness, similar to the Jazz's "Big White Bear" Ostertag. He doesn't have a deep enough position when he plays back, which makes him feel weak in his feet when he plays singles, his hook and shot are far away from the basket, and his hand is not very soft.

Until now, no one believed that Gasol Jr. would be able to establish himself in the NBA, and many pundits said he was grossly overrated before being drafted at the end of the first round. Gasol Jr. scored two points on 1-of-5 shooting in the matchup.

Guo Xu didn't make much shots in the match, selfless passing helped his teammates create opportunities, and the best outside performance was Roy in the third grade. If Roy's selection to the All-Star Game last season was the league's favor, now he definitely has the strength of an All-Star.

Roy practiced shooting and imitated Guo Xu's style of play in the summer, which was different from last season.

He usually runs to catch the ball first and looks for three-point opportunities, attracts the change of defense and then holds the ball to find the empty space when the ball is cut inside, and when counterattacking, he will use European steps to break through and touch porcelain, and outside the three-point line, he will dribble under the crotch and receive a step-back jumper.

Roy abandoned the two techniques of a big change of direction on the run and a full-strength jump-up layup, and two seasons later, the Suns coaching staff made a significant change in his work.

In his previous life, Roy played like Derrick Rose, and now he is more like James Harden after joining the Rockets, he has developed a good habit of not jumping around and playing by rhythm.

Roy, who has increased his three-point shots, as long as his shooting percentage can be guaranteed at 37% as last season, his scoring efficiency and true shooting rate will be much higher, reaching about 60%.

Last season, Roy accounted for 30.3 percent of his long-range two-point percentage, hitting 2.1 of 4.8 shots and 44.2 percent from the field. That's a statistic that stands out among shooting guards, better than the peak season of the Big Four, but D'Antoni asked him to shoot three points from a distance, preferably without a two-point shot.

Either one step closer, or one step farther, the outside player who shoots more than two points is not able to get along with D'Antoni, he is the most annoying kind of person. Of course, if the opponent does this, D'Antoni has to applaud him from the sidelines, which he likes best.

Of course, someone has to shoot in the middle distance, and the task is Haslem and Hill, because these two people can't practice three-point shooting, they can give up trying, and mid-range shooting is an important means of scoring for them.

At the end of the open training session, the fans applauded and couldn't get enough of it......
