Chapter 312 [Autobots and Decepticons]
Guo Xu stole all the limelight, and the confrontation between Stadamire and Yao Ming didn't care much anymore, just role players.
The Suns had five players score in double figures and the Rockets six, but all scored more evenly.
At the press conference, Guo Xu not only said 40+10 thoughts, but also commented on Yao Ming. 'I don't think he should be questioned, he should have shot more per game, and knowing that he was averaging less than 10 shots per game, I thought it was incredible that he was too selfless.
Yao Ming has a high shooting percentage, and his scoring efficiency is much higher than that of those two perimeter cores who shoot and bird, and if he is given 15 shots, he can cut 20+ in his rookie season.
The combination of inside and outside the Rockets is a must, and it is understandable that the two guards have more shots, but Griffin and Taylor, the two big forwards with a shooting rate of about 40%, have about the same number of shots as Yao Ming, and both of them have more than 8 shots. And they have less playing time than Yao Ming, and the frequency of shots is much higher.
The Chinese reporter asked: "What heights do you think Yao Ming can reach in the future?" ”
Guo Xu said: "He will definitely be the top five star center in the league, he has flexible feet, soft shooting touch, and it is almost impossible to block shots." While he can't dominate the box like O'Neill, he can help the team in another way. ”
A black reporter asked, "Don't you think Yao Ming is tough enough?" ”
Guo Xu said with a smile: "Except for O'Neal, the star inside line has excellent jump shots, and there are several players who are called tough guys who rely on jump shots to eat, why did Yao's jump shots become a sin?" I think the toughness of the players is mainly on the defensive end, against the Rockets, and all teams will consider shooting more from outside the box. How tough do you think he is? Turn into a big truck to lead the Autobots? ”
There was a burst of laughter in the venue, and the Houston reporters were very happy to hear Guo Xu's praise of Yao's name.
Stern was also very happy to watch the press conference on TV, Yao Ming is the object of the league's support, a bridge for basketball exchanges between China and the United States, and a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and the United States. He also felt that Yao Ming didn't have enough ball possession now, and some things that he was inconvenient to say publicly were said by Guo Xu.
Chinese players who come to play in the NBA, Wang Zhizhi is ordinary, at most he is a pioneer, and Yao Ming is the key to the NBA to open the Chinese market.
The Yao effect has already begun to show, and as he gradually gains a foothold in the NBA and beats O'Neal in the All-Star vote, Chinese basketball fans are growing more and more crazy.
High school students began to save money to buy basketball newspapers and magazines, which were circulated almost throughout the class, college students began to skip classes to go to Internet cafes or go back to their dorms to watch live webcasts, and office workers would secretly watch live broadcasts with a working posture when their bosses were not looking. Almost everyone in China knows Yao Ming, and countless people have become fans of Yao Ming, thus becoming die-hard fans of the Rockets, and regard the Rockets as the home team of China.
Boasting about Yao's name is now the political correctness of the NBA.
Of course, Guo Xu will not forget to praise his teammates, when the reporter asked him to evaluate his teammates, Guo Xu smiled and said: "We are the enemy of the Autobots today Decepticons, please ask me to buy a bed!" ”
There was another burst of laughter in the audience, since Yao Ming, who was flowing on the floor, was described by him as Optimus Prime, and a group of guys on the Suns who could run and jump, and looked like they could fly, were said to be quite like the Decepticons. The Decepticon boss Megatron's English name is Megatron, which reads "buy a bed".
The animation of "Transformers" is almost unknown to everyone, and Guo Xu uses this to describe the game and players, which is much more interesting than the perfunctory media that other players use to say hundreds of times.
A female reporter asked, "The Decepticons are villains, why don't you give a decent example?" ”
Guo Xu replied: "We are the villains this year, because we are the youngest team in the core, if we win the championship, we will make history and create miracles, and other teams will definitely do their best to stop us." Our ambitions are big, and our goal is to rule here! ”
The reporters applauded together, Guo Xu's words were often infectious, and the animation as an example showed domineering.
Guo Xu said loudly: "My assists are much higher than when I was with the Lakers, and I can't do without the team's tactics and the help of my teammates, thank you, thank you for your hard work, I will also try my best to pass better balls and help you fly higher!" ”
"Fly higher" here refers to the improvement of the player's status, not to the dunk in the air. The audience applauded together, Guo Xu's words made them feel the greatness of team basketball, the young people of the Sun are in charge, and the secret of success is unity and mutual achievement.
Guo Xu thanked his teammates from the bottom of his heart, rookies such as Xiao Si are very important, it was very obvious in the first 21 games of the game, and he really couldn't lead the whole team if his teammates' strength was not good.
In the previous life, many people said that without Nash's pass, Xiao Si, Marion and others would not be able to do it, which is wrong. Long before Nash joined the Suns, they were already star players who could cut an average of 20+ per game.
No matter how strong your core ability is, it is impossible to leave the help of your teammates, and the opponent's bag will kill you. Guo Xu struggled to face the bag, not to mention Nash, who was inferior to him in offensive ability with the ball?
At this time, the Suns' first- and second-year players feel that they are very lucky, it is not easy to meet a selfless core when they first enter the league, Guo Xu has no star shelf, he will think about others, and he is a great boss.
After the game, the media praised Guo Xu wildly, and at the same time questioned that Francis was not a qualified core, and he was not good enough at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
Doubts are inevitable, and Francis is often beaten, despite his physical fitness, he is not aggressive enough to chase defenders when defending. In 2002, when the Rockets played against the 76ers, Iverson scored a career-high 58 points and got many mismatch opportunities.
The Rockets management is still very confident in Francis, and will not choose to trade because he has been blown up a few times, and it is almost impossible for them to trade to a stronger and more popular guard than Francis.
Guo Xu's words gave Tomjanovic some inspiration, he planned to increase Yao Ming's right to shoot, the same is to catch the ball, Yao Ming is much more accurate than Taylor and Griffin, and the two of them each shot Yao Ming twice, and the Rockets' offense will be better.
The Rockets' habit of not passing the ball to Yao Ming with two guns on the outside line has to be changed, Yao Ming's shooting rate is the highest in the team, but the main role is to cover, open up space to help the two guards create opportunities, which is overkill.
THE NEXT DAY, THE SAYING THAT "GUO XU IS THE STRONGEST 180CM PLAYER ON THE SURFACE" BEGAN TO CIRCULATE ON THE CHINESE INTERNET.
Guo Xu usually browses Chinese websites, and after reading it, he feels very refreshed, if his height reported at the time was 183CM, only a few centimeters more, no one would give him this kind of title.
Some fans think strangely, players who are 180cm and below must be weak in their eyes and have no future. Obviously, the 183-185CM players still suffer on the defensive end, and they can't dislocate the defense, and the benefits of the extra 5CM are negligible, but these people feel that they are much stronger.
IN FACT, MANY NBA PLAYERS ARE ABOUT 180CM TALL, BUT THEY LIKE TO ROUND UP WHEN THEY ARE ON THEIR SIDES. 183CM is just 6 feet, and a little shorter is 5 feet, which is a lot worse in sense. That's why players participate in the draft, there are a lot of people who are 183CM, and then they are below 180CM, and the numbers 181 and 182 are not visible.
THIS CREATES AN INTERESTING PROBLEM, AFTER GUO XU GREW TALLER, HE WAS TANTAMOUNT TO UNDERREPORTING IN THE DRAFT, THE ACTUAL HEIGHT IS NOT ONLY 180CM, AND MANY 183CM PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE ARE SHORTER THAN HIM.
He won't change his height, which is more of a gimmick. (https:)
