Chapter 765 [Strong Comeback, Fair Fight]

Guo Xu called D'Antoni and Carter, the team doctor, and informed them that he would return to Phoenix in the afternoon to have a leg check-up before attending training for tomorrow's game.

The Suns practiced twice a day on the 31st of the time loop, and when they went to San Antonio, they couldn't train at high intensity, so they just got used to the venue, and today was their last chance to run in.

Guo Xu said that as long as the bones were not good, he would not appear, and Carter did not object to him doing an examination. The result was the same as the one he took during the time loop, and the leg bones looked already good.

After reading the inspection report at noon, Carter said: "You are recovering well, and I still don't recommend you to play for the sake of insurance, because you can't exert too much force, and the amount of exercise you can withstand is difficult to grasp." ”

"It's not difficult to grasp at all, because I'm going to play with a pure floor flow, resolutely not jumping or accelerating, organizing passes, and waiting for opportunities outside the three-point line to catch the ball." Guo Xu is colorful.

"Can you promise to do it?" Carter asked.

"Of course, I'm not going to joke with my health, as long as I play and organise the attack, I'm sure they'll play well."

Playing with injuries in the core can boost morale. This spirit is worth advocating, but it cannot be said in general terms that players must work hard even if they are injured, but should adopt a scientific and cautious approach.

Guo Xu proposed to play only when he was sure, and he rested for nearly three years in the loop, and he almost forgot that he was an injured player, and he felt like a floor stream player with ordinary quality.

Coach D'Antoni chimed in: "Thomas, let Jason try, if he doesn't go tomorrow we have an 80% chance of losing, Lowry's shooting is not good, it is easy to be targeted by opponents." ”

80% is a face-saving statement, Guo Xu is not 100% in the sun and goes home to fish, and the No. 1 position is too targeted. Lowry has lost his self-confidence when he played, and the Spurs can always play targeted joint defense and defend the box.

Because Lowry can let go of the air, Xiao Si can't play his full strength, it's easier to shoot from mid-distance, and he will be caught when he gets the ball in the penalty area. After all, Xiao Si is not Nowitzki, and he doesn't have a lot of shots.

Guo Xu successfully participated in the training, and the swing man who was not good at holding the ball on the defensive end interfered with the shot in front of him and was not close. On the offensive end, he brought surprises to the whole team, even with a healthy style of play, he can connect the whole team, the ball is very fast, his teammates can run a little bit of space to pass, and there are a lot of wonderful behind-the-back passes, moving the ball in the back of the head.

In the training match, Guo Xu led the substitute lineup to play with the starters, and he couldn't prevent it. The coaching staff immediately made the decision to let him play tomorrow, not to wait on the bench after being in the squad, but to start directly.

Lowry was hit hard, Guo Xu was actually stronger than him in one leg, and he didn't see how to pass the ball to his teammates and went to the basket. He was shocked and remembered the "smiling assassin" Isaiah Thomas, who scored 25 points in a single quarter in the 1988 Finals, and the superstar point guard was terrible.

In the evening, Guo Xu called Meghan and asked her to play with Britney Spears in Los Angeles for a few days first, so that she didn't have to follow the away game, and then he flew to San Antonio with his teammates.

Robert's special plane parked at Phoenix Airport first, even if the Suns won the sixth game, they would have to go back to their home court to fight the Spurs in a tie-break, and if he won, Guo Xu would take a special plane back to Los Angeles to recuperate, not participate in team training, and go directly to the finals.

The most important thing is that he takes care of his injuries, and this is Carter's advice, and if he practices too much, he will lose more than he loses if he gets injured.

On June 1, major media reported the news of Guo Xu's arrival in San Antonio, speculating that he would play with an injury. Most experts are optimistic about the Spurs winning, because Guo Xu's comeback is too hasty, not only is it easy to get injured again, but it is also a big hidden danger on the defensive end.

When the players arrived at the stadium by bus, reporters immediately surrounded Guo Xu for an interview.

Guo Xu said coldly: "I will play tonight, as for how long I will play, it depends on whether the Spurs will have another scum like Vujasic." After all, no matter how careful I am, I can't prevent the other party's malicious foul. If I encounter this kind of malicious foul again, I will consider retiring permanently and going to the entertainment industry to develop and entertain, I don't have to worry about being murdered, and the law will protect me. ”

It was big news, and the reporters took pictures together. Among them, the front reporter of TNT Radio started the live broadcast, and the audience waiting to watch the game heard Guo Xu's words.

President David Stern was also sitting in front of the TV, his heart pumping to his throat. Last night, Stern had a nightmare, dreaming that Guo Xu said before the game that he would retire from acting in movies if the Suns lost, and he was very angry.

Others may be angry, but Guo Xu seems to have really done it, because he can do without the NBA, but now the NBA can't do without him. If he really retires and keeps saying bad things about the NBA, it will be a fatal blow to the league's brand.

Because of that dream, Stern was distraught today, and he had asked Adam Silva to tell the referee not to give the Spurs home whistle and play this game fairly. Now he is a little glad to do so, if Guo Xu comes out with an injury and finds that the whistle is biased in favor of the Spurs, he will probably make a surprising decision if he loses today.

Stern is very conflicted now, he doesn't want to see the Suns win four consecutive championships, and he doesn't dare to directly suppress Guo Xu and the Sun.

Unless the Spurs players are crazy, they dare to commit crimes against the wind, but Guo Xu can't help but guard against it, so he mentioned a malicious foul today.

After the time loop, Guo Xu's legs don't hurt, as long as he doesn't sprint, move sideways or jump with all his strength, he should be fine. The biggest variable in the Suns series is that he can't get injured again. If he is seriously injured, not only will his playing be affected, but even his plans to make movies during the holidays will be affected.

In the away team's dressing room, D'Antoni emphasized tactics, let the players defend well, and the offense was handed over to Guo Xu to organize, run according to the tactical routine, and then the players came out.

Guo Xu was booed by the audience when he played, and the fans wanted to increase the psychological pressure on the away team players in this way.

The two teams are rivals and have met many times in the playoffs. As soon as Guo Xu returned, Spurs fans were worried that he would lead the team to a reversal, even if the media said that he was not injured, many people were still panicked.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Zhang Li said: "Guo Xu is definitely going to play today, he has a good shooting touch during the warm-up, and he hit several three-pointers in a row." If he leads the team past the Spurs, he will have a few more days of rest before the Finals, and if he loses today, the season will be over. ”

Yu Jia said: "The Suns played a record-breaking record in the regular season, and he must not be willing to fall in the Western Conference Finals, but it is very risky to come back at this time, and it is only 20 days today." It was previously reported that doctors said to take at least a month off. ”

The two starters stood in the middle of the court, Guo Xu smiled at Tony Parker, and Parker immediately panicked.

Among the players who have played against Guo Xu in recent years, the worst is Parker. He was always abused in the playoffs, even if the Spurs eliminated the Suns in the 2003 Western Conference Finals, he was also beaten by Guo Xu. This has led many Spurs fans to think that the Spurs' failure to win a championship after '03 is the reason for Parker, and that a stronger guard might have beaten the Suns.

Parker is very wronged, he has been selected as an All-Star, but he is a little worse than Guo Xu, and he can safely rank in the top ten in the league among point guards.

Seeing Guo Xu's comeback, many thoughts suddenly appeared uncontrollably in Parker's mind, he must not lose this series, if he loses, it will be miserable, and his popularity and evaluation will decline again.

This is not running, Parker was very faceless after being dunked by Guo Xu Feiyue last season, and now he knows that Guo Xu is injured, and he has no reason to be unable to beat the other party.
