Chapter 894 [Extravagant, Feeling Bored]
The Suns have been at the top of the standings again this season, beating the Celtics 116-98 at home on December 30 to reach a 30-2 record.
The Celtics had a total salary of $80 million last season, and they had to bring in low-paid players to bolster the roster in the offseason.
Their veteran signed power forward Rasheed Wallace with a base salary; 2 years 600 renewed the contract of "Big Baby" Glenn Davis; signed swingman Marquis Daniels with a two-year special clause of 2 million; Signed Sheldon Williams with base salary.
The Green Army made a lot of moves in the summer, but they signed all role players, and they couldn't greatly improve their strength, and they were still at a disadvantage in the East to compete with the Cavaliers.
No star is currently more tormented than Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen. If they don't win the championship, the history will be low.
On the Internet, the title of the "Big Three of the Green Army" has become a joke, and the 6 billion pot secrets often sarcastically ridicule the Green Army fans.
"The Lakers' Big Three beat their opponents to build a dynasty, the Suns Big Three beat their opponents to build a dynasty, and the Celtics are just three losers who haven't even won the regular season MVP and have never played in the Finals, so what qualifications do they have to be called giants?"
"They can only be called giants in terms of salary, and Garnett is the number one player in the league in terms of total salary."
"Garnett hasn't averaged 20+ per game since he left the Timberwolves, and he hasn't played a double-double, 14+7 is really a giant."
Garnett is on the cusp of the limelight, as he has the most flamboyant personality and the most fame of the three. After a major injury, his stats this season dropped again, averaging 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks in 30 minutes per game, while shooting 52.1% from the field.
As a star, his efficiency is really low, and only the shooting percentage is reasonable, and he still plays two points. Many people began to suspect that he was a data brush when he was a Timberwolves, otherwise how to explain the big drop in data as soon as he left the Timberwolves?
Of course, there are also Green Army fans who excuse the veterans, and the tone is similar to before, the Big Three of the Green Army were originally teamed up at the end of their careers, not a group, 07 It's been almost three years now, they are the last years of the last year, and it's normal to play badly.
Frequently aroused the emotion of fans, as if half of the veterans of the Green Army have been buried in the ground, the oldest Ray Allen is 35 years old this summer......
Fast forward to 2010, and on January 2, the Suns slaughtered 76ers 121-88 at home.
Guo Xu only played 30 minutes, shooting 9-of-13, 4-of-7 from three-point range, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 26 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists.
Iverson finished with 15 points and seven assists on 5-of-11 shooting, 0-of-1 three-pointers and 5-of-5 free throws.
Iverson's data seems to be not bad, in fact, Guo Xu let him shoot casually, and he still can't shoot three points. He was inefficient, averaging 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in 32 minutes per game while shooting 42% from the field. During the time he is on the field, the opponent will also become easy to score, commonly known as a black hole.
Andre Miller was the primary point guard for the 76ers last season, and the team finished sixth in the East during the regular season. With Rubio, the Trail Blazers' pick, temporarily unable to land in the NBA, they poached Miller this summer, and the 76ers signed Iverson back as a starter.
The 76ers' overall roster is stronger than last season, and it was favored by many media before the start of the regular season.
The team's sixth-man guard Louis Williams is getting better, and the guard line also has two-way defenders Jorley Holiday and Willie Green on the bench; Iguodala has been selected as an All-Star, with a balance of offense and defense, and Thaddeus Young has swayed at the 3rd and 4th positions, making significant progress; There is Durham Porter on the inside, and Speights and Jordan Jr. are substitutes.
However, the 76ers started the game with an 8-25 record and had little to no cooperation on offense.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Iverson played only three games with the Grizzlies before being cut. The Grizzly Bear management directly accepted it and didn't give him any face. Iverson said: "I'm a historical star, I've never seen a historical star play on the bench. ”
Iverson will not be cut in the 76ers, and the fans do not agree, they believe that Iverson is a historical star and is invincible. As for the poor results, maybe the young players are past their prime? Teammates don't defend well enough?
Nuggets and Kings fans don't think so, they say Iverson is a cancer, and no one in history will have a lower shooting percentage than him. They argued with the 76ers fans, and neither could convince the other. There will always be people who ignore the obvious truth simply because they don't want to believe it.
After this game, Guo Xu began to feel a little boring in the regular season, and a casual fight was a victory.
He doesn't have to compete for the scoring title now, he has fewer shots and more points. When his teammates have an advantage in a heads-up, he will also pass directly to attract defenders on the outside to watch them single.
The bosses are so selfless, how can Stadamire and Roy be alone? Experts say they have formed an unbreakable golden triangle, and the tactic is to attack the opponent's weaknesses with strong points, not to fix some kind of running position, and to win the game depends on the ability of the stars.
On the other side is a slower-moving heavy defender, Guo Xu is the main attacker; The opponent's interior line is difficult to change defenses, Guo Xu and Xiao Si are the main attackers; The opponent does not have a big man meat shield on the inside, and Gasol Jr. can play; Even if the opposing point guard and center are good, Roy can play alone on the wing and switch between having and not having the ball.
If the opponent chooses to shrink around the penalty area to defend together, or wrap Guo Xu on the perimeter, then he can't play, and the Suns role players are likely to shoot away.
The Suns have a group of bench bandits, and the rotation lineup is generally Lowry, Moreau, Hill, Haslem, Gasol Jr., and Ibaka.
As a newcomer, Ibaka, who is a top physicist, can only be the team's third substitute in the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, playing a dozen in garbage time, playing an average of 10 minutes per game.
Gortat and Gerald Green can only be marginal. Dragic was the worst, he was sent to the development league for training, his teammates were not injured, and he couldn't even get into the squad for the game.
Such a lineup is really extravagant, and other teams are hard to match, but the Suns' salary is still in the middle of the league.
Because the 76ers have been terrible this season, if they don't pick the top three, the Suns may draft a high-pick rookie in the 2010 draft, and other teams will not be able to play.
Guo Xu didn't feel the pressure of competition, and he naturally couldn't lift his spirits when he played.
He thinks the league should cut the regular season in half and find a way to make the playoffs more intense, so that the NBA will look a lot better. Now the strength of each team is clear, and the strong team playing 82 games is abusing vegetables, and the audience is too lazy to watch it, because it is easy to enter garbage time in the last quarter.
And there are too many bad teams in the NBA, and there are not only relegation penalties in the NBA, but also rewards. The most important thing is that they can pick up a high pick. In this case, can everyone not compete for the bad, it is reasonable to put it badly, which makes the game a little less interesting.
Guo Xu's life is also a bit boring, he can't go out, he stays with his girlfriend at home and stays in the hotel away.
Thinking about it from another angle, in her previous life, Meghan was kicked out by the crew of "Transformers", and it is also beneficial to her popularity after getting married early. She also made a lot of money by relying on advertising endorsements, she is financially wealthy, people are relatively free, and she can go out casually.
Guo Xu was at least accompanied by beautiful women in the villa in Phoenix, the away trip was too uncomfortable, and after he finished playing the 76ers, he was a wave of 5 consecutive guests, flying everywhere and staying in hotels.
Harden went to nightclubs before he was worth his money, and he rarely went to nightclubs after he became famous. If Guo Xu goes to a nightclub with his teammates, the bodyguards will be very tired, otherwise he can be turned by female fans......
