"Sign Josh Powell, he's definitely going to fit in the Suns' system." Guo Xu proposed.

"Who?" Brian's reaction to hearing this name is similar to that of an alien when he hears "Star-Lord".

"Josh Powell......" Guo Xu rolled his eyes. Didn't the scouts even pay attention to this person? He is very mobile, can catch the ball and shoot, and this kind of person is needed for run-and-gun tactics, are they all staring at blue-collar workers? ”

"Does he have NBA experience?" Brian smiled awkwardly.

Guo Xu smiled: "No, but just choose him, don't think about it anymore." The regular season is just around the corner, and we couldn't have a better choice. As for Bryan Grant, who was recommended by Earl (scout), don't look at his fame before he was pardoned, he can't play at all. ”

"Okay, listen to you."

Brian knows the current situation, as Guo Xu said, the inside line with some strength has been signed, and they have no choice at all, so what are you hesitating about?

When Josh Powell received Brian's call, he was ready to play in Europe. Just looking at his previous resume, he has nothing outstanding and can only be described as a "failure".

Powell, born on January 25, 1983, played for North Carolina State University in college, averaging 12+5 per game in his sophomore season, and he participated in the NBA draft in 2003 and unfortunately failed. He then went to Europe to play, and after two years of hard work, he applied again and was defeated.

Being able to open the back door to participate in two drafts and lose twice, Powell set a bizarre record in NBA history.

The reason why no one cares about it is because he belongs to the kind of player who "doesn't care". He has no skills to play small forward, his offensive ability with the ball is basically zero, and his shooting range is also embarrassing, and he has no three-point shooting. If you play a big forward or a center, his confrontation ability is not good, and he can only rely on a hard fight to hold on.

Of course, Powell also has advantages, he plays the No. 4 position with great mobility, and has a stable mid-range shot. In his previous life, he scored almost exclusively from mid-range shots, established himself in the NBA, played seven seasons, and won two championships with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010 as a substitute.

After Powell left the NBA, he also played two seasons in China's CBA, and his mid-range shooting was still accurate, averaging 30.6 minutes per game at his peak, scoring 15 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists, shooting 58.8% from the field.

Guo Xu's selection is very targeted, Powell's personal ability is not strong but suitable for the Suns, he can run on the offensive end, and he can catch the ball and throw the ball in the vacancy.

Defensively, he has to work hard, he can't let people play casually, and the team doesn't need this kind of undrafted rookie to take on too many tasks, play 5 to 10 minutes per game, so that the main team can rest for a while.

This is the advantage of the reborn, even if it is in a very bad situation, Guo Xu can still find a more reliable player to put out the fire, and Powell's style is definitely better than signing an inside veteran.

In addition to being young, he is also a good team player and does not mess around. Because he has been practicing in Europe for two years, people who are not in teams in Europe can't play at all, pay attention to constantly sharing the ball, and the player statistics are not very beautiful, but they can win the game.

The Suns successfully signed with Powell, he doesn't even have an agent yet, and he is satisfied with a base salary.

With the reimbursement of players also taking up the roster, the Suns' 15-man roster is now full.

Centre-forwards: Stoudayre, Nene (injury), Anderson Vallejo, David Lee.

Power forwards: Haslem, Kukoc, Powell.

Small forwards: Marion, James Jones, Trevor Ariza.

Shooting guards: Josh Howard, Raga Bell.

Point guards: Guo Xu, Gary Payton, Steve Blake.

When Nene was injured, the sun was already "the wall fell and everyone pushed it". The major media are not optimistic, fans are pessimistic, and celebrities jump out to brush up on their presence. Now the sun has erupted in adversity, and the joke is made.

Pippen is the best, and he previously gave an interview predicting that the Suns would not make the playoffs.

"Pi Er" has been unpleasant to the Sun and Guo Xu for several years, he is the person who most wants to keep the Bulls' 72-10 regular season record, and when the Lakers won three consecutive championships, he looked at O'Neal unpleasantly, belittled O'Neal, saying that he hugged his thighs and had many helpers.

At the time, he was scolded by online fans. "Yes, Jordan doesn't have any helpers, Pippen, Rodman, and Harper are nothing, especially Pippen, who is far inferior to Kobe."

During the preseason, Pippen gloated that the Suns had injured the two generals, and began to belittle Guo Xu again, saying that he helped more, and a group of stars around him only won two championships, and he couldn't do without excellent interior teammates.

"This season, Jason Guo is going to expose his true level." Pippen said seriously: "Let Michael lead this Suns, he can't win the championship, at most he will play to the second round of the playoffs." Jason will have a hard time making the playoffs without Amare and Nene just like the Lakers without O'Neal last season. ”

It is precisely because Pippen is so optimistic about the sun that Guo Xu said the words "our goal is to be rotten" a few days ago.

This made headlines and became a big joke on the Internet, and when the reporter wanted to interview Pippen and ask him to evaluate why the Suns were 6-1 in the preseason, Pippen refused to comment and remained silent.

Many fans on the Internet laughed at Pippen and were slapped in the face every time he predicted.

The attention of the Suns has not decreased because of the reimbursement of the Twin Towers, but has become higher, and fans all over the world want to see if Guo Xu can lead the Suns, who Jordan can't lead, to complete the counterattack.

Pi Er is not satirizing Guo Xu, but pit Jordan. He may want to express that "Jordan can't do without Pippen", but what if Guo Xu leads the team to the Western Finals? Enter the West to surpass Jordan?

Jordan has been declining to be interviewed, and he plans to wait for the regular season to start before commenting, and wait until the Suns are really rotten before falling into the ground.

This is a very smart approach, which person to hack, hindsight is the safest. Jordan doesn't comment on it and looks cool, a group of fans praise him, this is the disdain of the basketball god, and now he is ruined by Pippen.

When I met my pig teammates, God was helpless.

Also helpless is David Stern, who wants to take advantage of the Suns' injury to pick up the Cavaliers and the "little emperor" James, but it is still difficult to see it now.

Under such conditions, even if the Suns don't get the best record and only win the second place in the West, Guo Xu will take the initiative in the MVP selection. If Nima Suns can win like this, will other teams still have a way to survive in the future? Is there still competition in this alliance?

Stern and assistant Adam Silva both have a hunch that the Suns' record this season is not bad, Guo Xu led the team to increase the running and bombing tactics, and most of the weak teams will not be able to win against them. As a result, the media promoted Xiao Si as a superstar in the summer, saying that the sun would not work without Xiao Si, but it might raise Guo Xu higher.

The first official power rankings were released, and the Suns ranked second only to the Spurs, and the two teams had the same record.

Many basketball pundits were silent, and those who had been calm and silent before began to point out that the Suns could still win the Pacific Division.

The other teams in this region have been disappointing in the preseason, and none of them seem to be a threat to the Suns, and a division title would allow them to lock up a top-three finish in the West and have first-round home-court advantage.

The Kings went 3-4 in the preseason and sent Chris Webb away, but Peja Stojakovic didn't show leadership qualities and was in worse form than last season.

Building a team around a big man is, and Peja isn't the kind of star who can attract teammates with the ball and assist, but just a shooter, similar to the Timberwolves' Szzczebiak.

The Lakers' 4-3 preseason is not bad, but there is negative news...... ()
