Chapter 330 [Lao Tzu is the savior of your scum]

On the 24th, major media reported on the Grammy Awards, and many news used photos of Guo Xu and Avril when they were singing, and the video of the two performing was even more popular on the Internet.

Guo Xu and Britney did not have a scandal, because he and Avril sat closer and chatted a lot, and Avril had gone to Phoenix to find him before, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was better.

In the evening of the Suns VS Knicks, Guo Xu played the finale and won warm applause from New York fans.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Zhang Li said: "Jason Guo conquered the New York fans without playing a minute at Madison Square Garden this season, using his musical talent. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "I'm curious about what his next song will be like, and he said that he will continue to write and sing songs in the future, which is a big hobby." ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "There is only one Guo Xu in the sports circle who can play his hobby to this extent, maybe the next time in the All-Star Game, everyone will be able to see him perform at halftime." ”

As soon as he saw that Guo Xu's popularity was higher than when he first came to New York, Marbury's desire to compete with him faded.

Seeing Guo Xu and his teammates in a circle and united as one when they warmed up, Marbury was a little envious. When he joined the Knicks, he found that playing in New York was nothing like he had imagined.

He thought he would become an icon of New York, but he was constantly criticized and blamed as Ewing and others were back then, which was part of playing in New York. Since he is here, he has to take the ball to win, otherwise he will have to bear huge pressure from public opinion.

Marbury also has no privileges on the team, he has been ostracized as soon as he arrived, the "madman" is often provocative in the locker room, and Alan Houston has never recognized Marbury as the boss of the team, and he doesn't even bother to evaluate him.

To put it bluntly, Marbury is not qualified enough, he has been with the Knicks for too short a time, and he can't see his position clearly.

Marbury has switched three teams before and received low ratings, playing only two playoff games with the Timberwolves, both of which were first-round rounders. As soon as such a guy with a suspected tumor joined the Knicks team, he put on a posture of "Lao Tzu is the savior of your scumbags", how could his teammates like him?

In fact, Marbury, who has the most beautiful stats, is the main cause of the Knicks' locker room strife, not the innocent victim.

When he was the third leader of the Timberwolves, he couldn't pass the first round of the playoffs and asked for a high salary; When he was the core, he led the Nets and Suns to the playoffs; In addition to his good stats, he has no honors, changes teams frequently, and as a newcomer, he has played in the finals with two of the team's players and has been selected for the best team of the season......

This kind of person, he's insane.

You may not believe it, Sprewell is not as nervous as Marbury, he is arrogant in the Knicks because he has seniority, after being traded to the Timberwolves, he knows that he is a new arrival, and he is very low-key in the face of Garnett and Cassel.

After the start of the game, the Knicks, who were playing at home, unexpectedly suppressed the Suns.

Marbury singled out Guo Xu and hit three mid-range shots, made a break and made two free throws, scoring 8 points and 3 assists; Houston was even better, scoring 13 points on 3-of-4 three-pointers, one mid-range shot, and one foul and two free throws in the quarter.

Although Houston's nickname is "the king of mid-range shooting", he was actually the three-point king when he first entered the league, shooting more than 40% from three-point range and shooting more than two three-pointers in two seasons with the Pistons.

After being traded to New York, Houston met young coach Jeff Van Gundy, who told him that it was wrong to shoot threes and encouraged him to shoot more from the three-point line, transforming him into a "mid-range king".

Since Houston switched to a one-step jumper from the three-point line, Van Gundy has seen him as very pleasing to the eye, increasing his playing time and coaching him to practice low-post back-to-back play. Then the pundits said that Houston was tough and at the peak, although his overall shooting percentage dropped a lot after shooting fewer threes than he did with the Pistons, and he shot more than 45 percent in only one season with the Knicks.

After Van Gundy was fired by the Knicks, Houston picked up a three-pointer and this season he averaged 5.5 shots per game, hitting 2.2 for a 39.6 percent shooting percentage.

Actually, this is a star who has been delayed, if he hadn't been traded to New York, if he had met a coach who likes to win offense, at least a player of Klay Thompson's level, and he would have practiced back and knee sharpening.

In the second quarter, the two sides competed on the bench, the Knicks were led by Sprewell, there was no tactics at all, and the players watched the "madman" play alone after halftime. He felt cold in his hands and hit the iron with frequent jumpers, and the Suns quickly overtook the score.

Kurt Thomas showed strength in defending None. But Witherspoon and Charlie Ward couldn't stop Alston and Kukoc's pick-and-roll, and once misplaced, Kukoc could easily score.

Kukoc has been in great shape since the start of the Rockets, and as a big man who has been withdrawn, many of his moves will be reminiscent of Nowitzki. He also received a lot of skepticism after the Bulls broke up, and now he can finally prove his role on a strong team.

In the second half, the Knicks collapsed, and the stars dragged each other back.

The old coach Don Cheney was very helpless, in his original plan, Sprewell had better play as a substitute and stagger the playing time with Marbury, just like Kobe Bryant and Guo Xu did back then. If the run-in is good, you can play a sharp counterattack in the second quarter.

But Sprewell did not accept the substitute at all, and when the head coach talked to him, he put on a posture of "if you dare to let me be substituted, I will strangle you", saying that he was a starter as soon as he entered the league, and the substitute was SB's job.

When he said this, his voice was not small, and a few substitutes next to him heard it, and he thought he was cool, mighty and domineering. With the brains of this goods, it is really not surprising that they went bankrupt after retirement.

Coach Don Cheni had no choice but to let the Trident start together, even if everyone could see that one basketball was not enough to score.

The most reliable inside line of the Knicks is Kurt Thomas, who also does not play well with Bootelo, both of whom are of average height, lack of weight, and have strong mobility. The Knicks don't have a tall meat shield blue-collar neck, and McDyce was also a 206CM inside line before, and soon GG was gone.

The most resistant person in the Knicks is the "big spoon" Witherspoon with an annual salary of 5 million US dollars, a height of 198CM and a weight of more than 120 kilograms, this nickname is quite appropriate, he is really a colander on the defensive end, there is no speed on the outside line, no height on the inside line, and his biggest specialty is grabbing rebounds and brushing data.

Witherspoon played 7 minutes in this quarter, and the Suns made 10 three-pointers as a team, Guo Xu four, Joe Johnson and Kirisek each two, and Kukoc and Alston one. The Suns beat the Knicks 42-21 in the first quarter, and the game went into garbage time.

In the last quarter, Guo Xu played for a while, and put together the data to 10 assists before leaving the game, with 27 points and 10 assists in the game.

Marbury got 26 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and his statistics are not inferior to Guo Xu, but his evaluation is not high.

Knicks management considered trading Sprewell in the middle of the game, but unfortunately all teams knew that he was a thorn in the shoulder, and no team was willing to take over, let alone send stars or potential newcomers to the Knicks as chips.

This time Sprewell became a blacksmith again, shooting 4 of 15, and only the single defense Joe Johnson did a good job. Knicks management is determined to trade him, and it doesn't matter if he can't get someone back in the summer, he can clean up the team and succeed.
