Chapter 542 [Surprising Deal, Record-Breaking Possibility]
On the 23rd, the Suns faced the Clippers at home.
Megan Fox came back yesterday, the two were newly married, and Guo Xu consumed a lot of physical strength. This time, he deliberately reduced his shots and runs, dribbling the ball to his teammates after half court to get assists.
He doesn't pay much attention to scoring statistics this year, and just wants to brush up on the assists stats beautifully, averaging more than 15 per game, in order to surpass Stockton in terms of average and total number per game in a single season and set a new record.
Let Iverson and Kobe Bryant compete for the scoring title, those two teams have bad records and have nothing to pursue except for scoring points.
In order to achieve the goal, Guo Xu rarely dunks this year, unless he performs when no one is defending. After his breakthrough, he basically played with floor flow, and with the parkour self-protection moves he practiced in the time loop, the chance of injury was greatly reduced. As long as the opponent doesn't deliberately give him an elbow or chase him for a pad, it's safe.
This time, Guo Xu hit 3 three-pointers and scored 15 points, 17 assists and 2 steals.
Joe Johnson was resolute on offense, taking the most shots on the team, shooting 10-of-19, 2-of-4 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws to finish with 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. As long as he is given the opportunity, the performance is eye-catching.
The other two stars of the Suns, Xiao Si and Marion, also easily scored 18 and 17 points, and they can play quickly on counterattacks and positional battles, and the shooting rate is more than 50%.
Joe Johnson's play was still a little speechless in Guo Xu's opinion, and he said that he wanted to brush up on the data, but he couldn't shoot 20 times against a team like the Clippers without pressure, and his playing style was still very reasonable.
People's habits are not so easy to change, selfish people are always selfish, and selfless people are also difficult to change very alone.
Guo Xu is an outlier, he can switch roles freely. When he feels good and the opponent can't defend him, he will score hard in the game. And most of the time, he can selflessly brush assists......
It's amazing that a player like him who loves stats should be rated "very unselfish" because so few people pay attention to possession.
The 24th is the NBA's trade deadline, and there are several big trades in the league.
The Warriors and Hornets made a three-man trade, with the Warriors trading guard Speedy Claiskton and forward Dale Davis from the Hornets for guard Byron Davis.
The Hornets and Warriors both have poor records this season, with the Hornets 11-43 in the second-to-last Western Conference just ahead of the Lakers, and the Warriors with a 16-38 record.
The deal was a robbery, with the Warriors having two expiring contracts that fit the Hornets' rebuilding needs, and they got an All-Star point guard for nothing.
Although Byron Davis' three-point shooting lacks accuracy, he is currently the strongest point guard in the league, with super physical fitness, and most point guards can be crushed with his body.
Davis was traded because of a clash with Hornets coach Byron Scott. In the 2003-04 season, Scott was fired due to a conflict with Nets star point guard Jason Kidd, and soon after joining the Hornets, he clashed again.
This time the management chose to side with the head coach, not because they believed in Scott's ability, but because Davis said that he didn't want to stay at the Hornets anymore and wanted to play in a more promising city.
That's good news for J.R. Smith, as both of the team's outside mainstays have been traded away and he should be a starter. Of course, this is just a media prediction, in Guo Xu's previous life, Smith was firmly pressed on the bench by Scott, and he did not rise in the Nuggets until he had a conflict with Scott and was traded.
Davis still has four years and about $63 million on his contract, which is not too high for the Warriors with plenty of salary space, and they finally have a core that can lead the team to the offense after sending Jamison away.
The current Warriors look quite promising, with Ror Dun, Battier, Davis, the bench and Barbossa, but it's a bit bad with Dampier on the inside.
Battier and Rohrdeng, who are free agents after this season, may not be re-signed by the Warriors. At the moment, Battier is not as rated as in his previous life, but it shouldn't be difficult to get a middle-class contract with the data.
The Magic completed a three-man trade with the Kings, trading Mobley "Old Cat" and forward Michael Bradley for multiple All-Defensive Team selections Doug Christie.
The deal stung the heart of Steve Francis, who began his NBA career with Mobley with the Rockets and continues to this day. He openly expressed his displeasure, saying: "This news makes it difficult for me to play well, he is my brother. You know, I've been with him all my NBA career. ”
In fact, Boss Fergus and the Cats have never had a good result, and they have played in the playoffs once. Magic is a stone-throwing for directions, and the next step is to send Francis away.
The 76ers and Kings trade was the most surprising at the deadline.
The Kings sent Chris Webb, Wesley Persson, Mike Bradley to the 76ers and Kenny Thomas, Collis Williamson and Brian Skinner from the 76ers.
It's no surprise that Webber was traded, and Kings general manager Petri has been trying to find a suitable buyer for Webb. It has become a well-known feud between Webb and Stojakovic, and only one of the two stars will remain with the Kings.
What is puzzling is that the three people who the Kings got back are really terrible, and they are completely contracted to help the 76ers clean up the garbage.
All three have been in terrible form this season and all have long-term contracts, and the Kings didn't cut the salary pressure with the trade and just sent Webber away.
Thomas has five years and $39 million left on his contract; Collis has two years and $12.5 million left on his contract; Skinner has one year and $490 left on his contract. That's good, but he's useless, averaging 2 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
With Webber gone, Peja's position as the team's boss is unshakable, and his transfer request should be over.
After the trade, many experts favored the 76ers to return to the championship ranks, although they are now only in 10th place in the East. The 76ers' roster looks to be the best in the East, with two All-Stars, excellent shooters, and two potential rookies, Iguodala and Dyrem Porter.
76ers fans also believe that there will be few teams in the East that can win against them steadily, and all they are missing now is a good center.
After the Sun training, a reporter interviewed and mentioned several transactions, Guo Xu refused to comment, he was hehe.
In his opinion, none of these teams pose a threat, especially the 76ers, let alone compete for the championship, may not be able to enter the playoffs this season. Because the Hawks and Bucks are stronger than in their previous lives, they will definitely lock up the playoff spots. The 76ers are far behind in the early stage, with the Nets, who lack the core Kidd, and the Cavaliers, led by James and Boozer, vying for the last spot in the playoffs.
It is rare for the competition in the East to be so fierce, and Guo Xu is more optimistic about the Cavaliers making the playoffs, because James is the current target of the league, and Iverson's character and Guo Xu overlap.
The Suns didn't make any trades, and the players on the team didn't offer to leave.
None of them are stupid, and no one gives up the opportunity to be part of a dynasty team in order to go to a bad team as a substitute. Moreover, the playing time of the marginal people is too short, and they are not confident that they will be able to play good statistics without leaving the Suns and going to other teams.
Guo Xu is the old public service, with Payton and Kukoc two veterans in charge, the atmosphere in the Sun locker room is very good, everyone makes progress together, and there is harmony.
The Suns' best regular season record has been stabilized, and there is still the possibility of breaking the record......
