Chapter 863 [First Grammy, Controversial All-Star]
On January 16, the Suns lost to the Timberwolves, who are seventh in the West.
Don't underestimate the seventh place in the West, except for the Suns, who have an outstanding record, the other playoff teams are about the same strength, and they have won and lost each other. Because of the butterfly effect, the Timberwolves, whose flanks were originally their biggest weakness, have now become their strengths.
After that, the Suns ended their January campaign with a wave of consecutive wins, beating the Spurs again at home on the 29th, and beat the opponent 3-0 in the regular season.
Guo Xu has become Parker's permanent shadow, and the data of the two of them against Parker is less than half of usual. Guo Xu's call for being selected for the best defensive team is getting louder and louder, and he has hardly suffered losses against the star in the field, but his defense is very poor when he plays a weak team, and everyone knows that it is because he is lazy.
Guo Xu will continue to be lazy because he is not interested in getting into the defensive lineup.
On February 2, the Suns easily defeated the Kings at home, with Guo Xu scoring 22 points and 12 assists in the third quarter.
The Suns flew to Oakland for a live-streamed game in the United States on Feb. 4, with the Suns away vs. the Warriors.
The league thought it was going to be a good game, but the Warriors are currently 15-34.
Warriors are not rotten, but really rotten. Bryant averaged 29.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, competing with Wade for the scoring title this season, but the team couldn't win.
Cormi thinks it's not Kobe Bryant's fault, it's all his teammate CBA, the Warriors can't defend the restricted area at all after Brand's injury, and Il Goskas and Al Harrington have entered a period of decline since joining the Warriors, and both offensive and defensive ends have deteriorated.
Rohr Deng is also seriously overrated, averaging 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 34 minutes per game, shooting less than 45% from the field.
The Warriors' worst position is point guard, with Barbossa and Watson averaging less than three assists per game, and only the basket is in their eyes after receiving the ball. In fact, the two point guards also see Kobe Bryant this way, and Barbosa has turned into a fixed-point pitcher.
There was no suspense in the game, the Suns led all the way, and all six players scored in double figures to win 133-101.
Guo Xu only played three quarters and left work, scoring 17 points, 13 assists and 2 steals, Roy 22 points and 10 assists, Xiao Si got 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Millsap had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Morrow had 11 points.
The Suns' scoring is almost always scored through cooperation, and they rank first in the league in overall assists. The Warriors are the opposite, Barbosa has no ball, and Big Z's blocking and pick-and-roll tactics are saved, and Kobe Bryant takes turns playing alone on the outside and in the low post.
The Suns single-handedly defended Kobe Bryant against others, Kobe played 38 minutes, scored 46 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, but unfortunately the support given by teammates was not enough, and only three people on the team scored double-doubles.
A day later, the Suns returned home to play the Warriors again, and the scene was almost exactly the same as last game, with the Suns blossoming more points to win the game, and Kobe Bryant scored 42 points to lose the team.
At the press conference, Guo Xu and his teammates touted each other's special energy, Kobe Bryant had a black face throughout the whole process and did not interact with his teammates.
On February 8, after the Suns defeated the 76ers at home, Guo Xu flew to Los Angeles alone overnight to attend the 51st Grammy Awards ceremony held at the Staples Center on the 9th.
The song of the year was not "Halo", which was sung by both men and women, but "Viva La Vida" by the British rock band Coldplay, which caused a strong dissatisfaction with 6 billion pot secrets.
Fortunately, Guo Xu did not win nothing, he won one of the three nominations and won the Best Pop Chorus Award.
The song "Hall of Fame" is very popular because of the Olympic Games, and fans all over the world know the BGM of Guo Xumeng's eighth team. Not only basketball fans, but football fans feel just as good when they hear it, and it seems that it can also be used in football.
Songs with the theme of athletes winning championships and glory are not comparable to those choruses of love and love.
The small award is also an award, Guo Xu is very satisfied, and his friends also called to congratulate him.
The incident immediately spread on the Internet, and Guo Xu became the first athlete in sports history to win a Grammy, an Oscar, an Olympic gold medal, and an NBA championship. These honors are listed, which makes people feel very unreal when they see it.
After receiving the award, Guo Xu returned to Phoenix to play another game, and on the 11th, the Suns defeated the underdog Wizards 124-103, losing only two games before the Star Weekend, with an overall record of 49-2.
The Wizards' 10-39 loss was already rotten, and Arenas underwent third knee surgery and was reimbursed for the season after only two games, after which the Wizards collapsed.
Maddie has been playing this season because of his early departure from the Rockets, and he has not been seriously injured to the point of needing surgery to be reimbursed. As a result, he and Jamison had irreconcilable conflicts, and after a game of 54 points, Jamison publicly angrily blasted Maddy at the press conference and requested a trade from Wizards management.
Maddy averaged 37.4 minutes per game, hitting 9 of 22.9 shots for 39.4 percent overall and 1.3 from three-point range for 25 percent, with the only one he could do was 70.7 percent from the free throw line and 3.5 from 5 attempts.
With so many shots, Maddy averaged 23.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
At this time, another group of neurotics applauded Maddy, believing that he was the core of the Wizards, and the team was plagued by injuries, and his teammates were not strong, but they still played star statistics, and 39.2% of the big ones were invincible.
Jamison really can't bear it, you slowly become invincible here, I'll go.
The 2009 All-Star lineup has been confirmed.
The starting five in the West: Guo Xu, Chris Paul, Stoudamire, Duncan, Yao Ming.
Sub-seven: Roy, Billups, Kobe, Cameron Anthony, Joe Johnson, Andrew Bogut, Dirk Nowitzki.
The starting lineup in the West looks unreasonable, but Guo Xu is the star ticket king, and Paul's popularity also exceeds Kobe, and according to the rules, the two of them have to go together. Kobe Bryant's record is outside the playoffs, and his pretty stats are only enough to make him a star game.
There is a group of All-Star missing pearls in the West, and the competition is so fierce that players average two double-doubles per game, and even 20+10 cannot be selected for the All-Star Game.
The Timberwolves have an excellent record, and the coaches still ignore Al Jefferson, a short center who averages 20+11 per game. Pau Gasol and Zach Randolph were also not selected, despite the Grizzlies having a sixth-place record.
The Jazz, the eighth-best team in the West, Deron Williams was not selected for the double-double stats, and David West, who averaged 20 points per game, was not selected. Hornets forward Rashad Lewis, who has a better record and averages nearly 20 points per game, was also not selected.
This has caused great dissatisfaction among fans of various teams, to say that data is important, a group of players with good data are ignored, to say that the record is more important, so what is the matter with Kobe Bryant's selection off the bench?
This controversy is inevitable, and the abundance of talent in the West is the most direct reason, and Western fans have sweet annoyances.
Eastern Conference starting five: Nash, Wade, James, Garnett, Dwight Howard.
Substitute seven: Boozer, Mo Williams, Pierce, Ray Allen, O'Neal, Devin Harris, Chris Bosh.
Eastern stars don't have so many options, O'Neal's data has slipped for a short time and he has been selected as an All-Star in a row, and he really can't find a center with better data than him, Harris and Mo Williams are selected for the first time in their careers.
Guo Xu knew how big the gap between the east and the west was when he looked at the lineup list.
In the West, Danny Granger couldn't get into the top 10 in the forward selection, with only a pitiful 200,000 votes, which was not as good as the Rockets' Scolara. But in Guo Xu's previous life, Granger became the boss of the Pacers this season and was selected as an All-Star.
With such a lineup gap, how can there be suspense in the All-Star Game? Fans are just waiting to see the offensive performance of the Western Conference players.
