Chapter 881 [Things Are Man-Made, Swept Again]

At the press conference, Guo Xu praised his teammates. 'It's a team win because I wouldn't have had 20 assists if it wasn't for their great performance, we're the best team.'

The reporter asked, "You're one step closer to getting your seventh championship ring, what do you think made you surpass Jordan in the number of accolades at the age of 28?" ”

"It's man-made." Guo Xu paused for a moment and smiled: "I can join the NBA at the age of 19, I can win the championship in my rookie season, I can be elected MVP four times in a row, and I can win the championship seven times." But that's not enough, because I can keep moving forward and become a better version of myself. ”

The reporters applauded, ambitious people are more likely to succeed, and Guo Xu made a declaration of winning the championship after winning the first game.

D'Antoni praised Guo Xu: "With him, we can't lose, in 2006 we injured three generals and won the Cavaliers, now what's the reason to lose?" I said a few years ago that he would be the first person in NBA history. ”

Xiao Si was interviewed and didn't know what to say, the coach praised Guo Xu like this, can he get FMVP? Even if the two have similar stats, assists are more important than rebounds, and the same double-double has different meanings.

If Guo Xu wants to give the MVP to Xiao Si, unless there is no assist, Xiao Si holds the ball most of the time, then they may not be able to beat the Cavaliers, just like they lost to the Spurs after Guo Xu injured his finger last season.

It's too difficult to grab honor next to the first person in the NBA, it's not that Xiao Si is not good enough. Just like Pippen can't grab Jordan, Kobe Bryant can't grab O'Neal, it's clear who has a bigger role.

If he forcibly increases the number of shots and ignores the team's cooperation to brush up the data, the end is likely to drag down the team, rather than successfully stealing the position of the boss and winning the championship.

Guo Xu chatted with Xiao Si for a while during training the next day, and Xiao Si said that Guo Xu didn't need to deliberately help him brush up on the data in the next game, and he would play according to the routine he had practiced in the regular season.

After seeing the difference in strength, Xiao Si no longer expects this kind of personal honor, and he is lucky to be selected by the Suns in the draft. If he is selected by other teams, he will not be the second leader of the team of the Quadruple Dynasty, and he may not even win a championship.

Thinking about it like this, Xiao Si was completely relieved, he shouldn't be too greedy.

In the second game, the coaching staff arranged for Haslem, Millsap, and Xiaosi to start together at the beginning to strengthen mobility and adopt a joint defense strategy.

This move is very effective, the two short big forwards are not afraid to fight, and James can interfere with them no matter which side he goes to break through. If James chooses to single Roy, the Suns will admit it with a mid-to-long shot.

The 33.3% three-point shooting rate is an easy number to accept, and if James doesn't break through, the Cavaliers won't be able to play a lot of tactics.

In the first quarter, the Suns took a 12-point lead, Guo Xu first singled out Mo Williams to shoot it himself, and then passed the ball to his teammates after attracting the bag. The teammates selflessly shared the ball, the ball moved very fast, and many open shots were created.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers recovered a little point difference, and the problem of backup point guard Lowry getting lost in a tough game has always been there, and his mentality is not very good. Green, Morrow, and Moon lack playoff experience and are not as reliable as veteran Hill. Jordan Jr. and Gortat were abandoned, and the tactics were not very useful, and it was easy to make mistakes.

In the second half, Guo Xu continued to beat Mo Williams, the best point guard the Cavaliers could trade, and he was still not an opponent.

Mo Williams is a second-rate star, and if you choose a template to refer to, he is similar to Sam Kassel back then. Both of them belong to scoring point guards, can shoot with the ball, and their defense is average, this kind of point guard is a dead end against Guo Xu.

Guo Xu is balanced offensively and defensively, and he has never been a hole or even a strong point on the defensive end of the playoffs. When he's serious, he's like an all-around point guard with Iverson's speed and break-through ability, Curry's shooting, and Paul's defense.

Guo Xu made four consecutive outside shots and hit three shots, one of which was a two-meter rush shot outside the three-point line, and the difference widened to 16 points, and the Cavaliers were forced to enter a timeout.

Barkley talked about the two players who were going to participate in the 2009 NCAA draft because the big screen on the court gave a close-up of the audience on the sidelines, Curry and Harden were sitting on the sidelines, and the two said hello when they were very close.

They met in the NCAA tournament and Curry's team won.

Barkley said: "Stephen Curry of Duke University is the top pick this year, and a lot of people say Jason is his template. HE IS 190CM TALL AND HAS A THREE-POINT STRATEGY, AND FINALLY THERE ARE PLAYERS WHO USE JASON AS A TEMPLATE. ”

Kenny Smith said: "It's all about technique, Jason isn't just good at shooting, he's breaking through and his physicality is top among guards. Harden isn't bad either, Jason has praised him. ”

Barkley laughed: "Both of these two imitate Jason's way of playing, and they have both posted photos of them and Jason on the Internet." Curry's father took photos with Guo Xu and O'Neal when he played for the Raptors, and he said it was the motivation that made him improve. ”

A small thing has the potential to change a person's life.

Curry has been a die-hard fan of Guo Xu since the 2001 Finals, and he wears the No. 1 jersey in college. He practiced very hard, his style of play was completely imitating Guo Xu, he shot quickly and could ensure the hit rate, and he had some fame in high school.

Coach K Sr., after seeing the power of super three-pointers, welcomed Curry, who wanted to join Duke University, even if he was terrible defensively in high school. As a result, Curry led the Duke Blues to shoot their opponents hard in this year's Final Four to win the NCAA championship, and Curry won the MOP.

Harden failed to lead the team to the round of 16, but his statistics are luxurious, and he is also one of the hot rookies this year.

Like other Suns fans in the audience, they gave a standing ovation and cheered when Guo Xu scored a goal or gave a wonderful assist, which was a big sight off the court.

Guo Xu scored 25 points and 6 assists in the second half, and scored 35 points, 5 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 steals in the game, leading the team to beat the Cavaliers 115-98 again, leading the total score 2-0.

The two sides went to Cleveland in the third game, the Cavaliers led by six points in the first quarter, and were beaten 13-0 by the Suns bench in the second quarter, and never took the lead again.

Gerald Green suddenly had a convulsion, hitting four three-pointers and a fast-break dunk in the first six minutes of the second quarter. He spent most of the playoffs playing soy sauce, and suddenly broke out and was an All-Star.

Gasol Jr. also had a good performance, scoring 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

After playing more than a dozen playoff games, Gasol Jr.'s offense is getting better, he can shoot and attack, and he moves the ball quickly, and the Suns lead by 26 points in the third quarter directly knocked the Cavaliers away.

In the fourth game, the mentality of the Cavaliers players began to go wrong, and they inevitably carried the psychology of wanting to win and being afraid of losing.

James shot 8-of-20, 2-of-8 three-pointers, and 7-of-11 free throws to finish with just 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. The core can't even make free throws, how can the Cavaliers win?

Xiao Si made a big splash this time, shooting 14-of-21, 0-of-1 from three-point range, and 12-of-14 from the free-throw line, scoring 40 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. Guo Xu shot 8-of-14, 4-of-8 three-pointers, and 6-of-6 free throws to finish with 26 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists.

Under the leadership of the two, the Suns swept the Cavaliers 111-90 and won the team's fifth championship.

The Suns began their celebrations on the road, winning the championship for the third time in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers have been swept three times in four Finals, and James can't help but contribute to the meme when he returns to the locker room......
