Some people can change their lives because of a single decision, Carlos Boozer is now a two-time All-Star, and no one calls him a back-up boy or a defensive black hole. He has a much higher evaluation, he has not made less money, and he has become a winner in life.

Boozer's decision to reverse his life was to find Harpy Waters as his agent, in Guo Xu's previous life, Boozer's agent valued immediate interests and ignored fame, while Harpy had a more long-term vision.

The result of his lack of reputation is that Boozer has performed well in both the Jazz and the Bulls, and a group of experts say that he is a defensive black hole, and the fans have blacked him for three days. Boozer struggled to the point where a little finger was bent 90 degrees, and it was never upright, a disability visible to the naked eye, but no one said that he played hard.

Some experts believe that Boozer's offensive and defensive S (Win Contribution Value) are very low, so the level is poor.

In fact, that thing is not accurate at all, just to give an example, Chris Paul's career victory contribution can enter the top 20 in NBA history, and in 2018 he ranked third in the league behind James and Nowitzki, but he has never touched the floor of the Western Conference finals when it comes to statistics, because the Rockets have just finished the regular season......

Boozer has helped the Jazz and Bulls reach the division finals in his previous life, averaging 17.1 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in the playoffs in his career, shooting 48.3% from the field. He made the Rockets and Warriors big in the playoffs, and Yao Ming said that he wanted to kill this thing. He entered the national team, and Coach K also appreciated his tactical role, and won the gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics with the team.

The opposite of Boozer is Ben Wallace of the Pistons.

A group of experts bragged about him for several years, just because his "high-end" stats were beautiful and his defensive S was high. But watching the game, you will find that Big Ben's single-defense interior star is often blown up, his height is not good to interfere with shooting, and he is good at helping to defend blocks and grabbing rebounds, and he can't do without the Pistons' defensive system. As for offense, Jordan Jr. can blow up a big book.

The Nuggets' Camby is in a similar situation, he was selected to the All-Defensive Team this year, the Nuggets rely on Kenyon Martin to defend the pick-and-roll, and Camby is responsible for grabbing rebounds and blocks, and the defensive statistics are beautiful. This order to prevent the Lakers' interior blue-collar Bogut has been cut down 20+, and in the playoffs in the face of Yao Ming being beaten, he is good at preventing ordinary players from brushing data.

In his previous life, Boozer really didn't understand how his high-end statistics were obtained, obviously he could help the team win, but the high-end statistics were not as good as many poor people who couldn't score doubles and had a low shooting percentage.

Now Boozer has proven himself, and as long as he has been paired with James and guaranteed his health, it is not surprising that he will be selected as an All-Star every year, because the Cavaliers' regular season record is guaranteed.

Guo Xu feels that it is likely to be the Cavaliers who break through in the East in this year's Finals, and the Hawks have two weaknesses, one is the lack of super scorers, and the other is that the interior defense is not strong enough, and it is difficult to defend Boozer and James.

In an interview, the Cavaliers also expressed confidence in beating the Hawks to advance to the Finals.

Online prediction of the Western Conference Finals, most people are optimistic about the Suns to advance, because the Spurs have a hard time playing the Rockets, and the Suns' road to promotion is stronger.

There are also more people who support the Suns to defend their title, because the Spurs have a better card lineup than the Suns, and the Suns win is more interesting.

The main reason for this feeling is that the Spurs signed swingman Michael Finley, whom the Suns didn't want last summer.

Even though Finley's form has declined badly and he is a substitute at the Spurs, people still think he has the quality because he was the captain of the Mavericks last season and signed too big a contract. Even if he was pardoned, the two-time All-Star fame was very great.

The GDP duo's Parker and Ginobili have also gradually played at a level, and both have been selected for the All-Star Game. The Spurs are a trident plus a great role player, and the Suns are an MVP star plus a bunch of role players.

Before the start of the Western Finals, Guo Xu made big news and provoked a war of words.

On the 23rd, after the training in the morning of the sun, the local media in Phoenix sent reporters to conduct an exclusive interview with Guo Xu.

The reporter asked: "Are you confident that you can beat the Spurs to reach the Finals?" ”

"Yes, although the Suns have suffered serious injuries this season, I am much better individually than I was in 2003, I don't think my teammates are lacking, most of my teammates in the 2003 playoffs did not play in the playoffs, we still played a tiebreaker with the Spurs before losing. So, I don't think Spurs have any advantage, and if we win, it's not a miracle or an upset, it's a normal performance, a reflection of strength. ”

Online, many people say that the Suns' defeat of the Spurs is an upset, and the Spurs have a better lineup. This kind of argument can put psychological pressure on the Suns' young players, who unconsciously see themselves as the underdog.

Mentality can make all the difference between winning and losing a game, and there are countless examples of players not being able to perform at their full strength. Some players who did well in the regular season made a fool of themselves when they made the playoffs.

This kind of news was first deliberately spread by the San Antonio media, and Duncan and Popovich recently gave similar comments to the Suns, saying that the intensity of the playoffs and the regular season is different, putting pressure on the Suns role players in every way.

These are useless to Guo Xu, since entering the NBA, he has never missed the division finals, and he has rich experience. When encountering the opponent's psychological warfare, he also has a way to fight back.

The reporter asked: "Are you saying that you will definitely be able to advance?" ”

"Not only do I have the confidence to make it to the Finals, but I also have the confidence to defend my title, and I want to keep a low profile in the regular season. The situation is very bad for the Spurs, because I am far better than Tony Parker, and second, their core Duncan is not at his best, and the playoffs are a test of leadership. ”

Guo Xu deliberately paused and smiled: "Duncan's performance this season is average, he has plantar fasciitis, and it is difficult to ensure efficiency if he plays for too long." I'm in my peak this year and it's clear that I'm at the core of the better. ”

The reporter asked: "Aren't you worried about the possibility of losing?" The Spurs have a lot of stars. ”

Guo Xu replied with a smile: "I have never been afraid of any star, and for me, the Spurs' Bowen is the biggest threat." One time in a game, he chased me to step on my feet, and when I broke through in the regular season this year, he deliberately stretched out his leg to hook my foot, trying to cause my center of gravity to be unstable and sprained, but fortunately I used my hand to prop it up when I fell. He also likes to use his knees to prevent the opponent from breaking through, and he is easy to get injured if he doesn't have a good force, and I've always been very depressed that this kind of scum can play in the NBA, and there are still many fans who respect him. ”

Compared with the psychological warfare of the Spurs, Guo Xu seemed more passionate and opened directly.

It was big news, and the reporter got excited: "Are you saying Spurs are dirty?" ”

"It's not me saying it, it's that they're just dirty, counting how many players Bowen has been plotting for? I don't believe any player likes this guy. I also suspect that this was taught by Popovich, but I have no evidence that when a person frequently makes small moves with the intention of hurting his opponent, the coach does not stop him is a kind of connivance. I say this because the Suns have already injured three big men, and I don't want the Spurs to make another off-the-beaten-track move in this series. ”

At this time, no one wanted to lose, so Guo Xu shouted out his words first and raised his morale in a high-profile manner. And he sprayed Bowen and Popovich, and the fans would be eyeing the Spurs.

If the Spurs have an off-the-board move, and Bowen moves more on the court, then the fans will definitely be able to cut out a highlight, and then it will depend on what the league says, if the league chooses to hold the Spurs, it is sick.

Guo Xu can also be very aggressive in the interview, and he finally said: "If the Spurs are not satisfied with my statement, they will be cleaner, and I will be willing to apologize after the game, provided that they are really not that dirty." ”()
