Chapter 533 [The Unleashed Beast, the King of the Triple Star Ticket]

After two seasons of running-in, the core players of the Suns are getting better and better, and Guo Xu's task in the team has become easier this year.

Many teams in the league have also provided convenience for Guo Xu to brush assists, and there are more teams playing fast attack this year, and if both teams run, it is easy to score high. With teams like the Spurs, Pistons, and Pacers, the Suns are forced to play against opponents for most of the time.

The Suns lost just one game in January, losing by six points to the Heat led by O'Neal and Wade.

The key players in this game are the role players. Eddie Jones hit four three-pointers and finished with 20 points in the game, including eight points in the final quarter and two key shots. Backup point guard Kenyon Durin took a break and finished with 11 points and four assists on 5-of-7 shooting and 1-of-2 three-pointers.

In February, Guo Xu did not go to the 47th Grammy Awards, and the sun had a competition that day, and he received three nominations, but he did not receive anything.

The Grammys don't want to award awards to a singer like him at all, and nominating him is a gimmick and attracts attention.

It is worth mentioning that "Britney" Britney won two Grammy trophies, one of which was a dream come true because of the song written by Guo Xu. Her performance at the awards ceremony was also very good, receiving the most applause.

Avril ran with her again, although the MV of "You Belong Ith Me" was popular, she was not treated well by the Grammys, which is the price of her being labeled as a rebel and drinking too much in a nightclub and liking to give the middle finger to people. Even if Avril sings all of Taylor Swift's award-winning songs, she may not be able to achieve Taylor's results.

Guo Xu will not be depressed that he did not win the music award, but there are many fans on the Internet who complain about him, thinking that the winners are a lot worse than him in terms of creative talent and fame, and the award is very unfair.

These comments made Guo Xu blush a little......

Prior to the All-Star Weekend, the Suns lost to the Pacers, and the two teams went head-to-head in the regular season.

The Pacers are also a strong team this year, and under Carlisle's coaching, they are good at playing against anyone, and they are super strong defensively and not bad offensively.

O'Neal Jr. has played the peak of his career, currently averaging 24.9 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and he exploded 50 points against the Hawks.

Artest and Jackson averaged 16 and 17 points per game, respectively, and performed equally well.

The Pacers' three cores are not suspended and can help each other create opportunities, and veteran Reggie Miller is also in good form and can pull away to provide three-point firepower.

The Pacers are still unable to compete with the Suns, and the Suns are the best in the record list, and experts predict that they will definitely have the best record and may break the NBA regular season record, at least 70 wins, Guo Xu once again led the team to dominate the league.

If the two 70+ wins during the Lakers Dynasty were due to the star's huddle, this time Guo Xu led the team to play a super record in the Suns, which is the embodiment of his personal ability to lead the team. The Sun is Guo Xu, a big-name star, and the other three cores are all cultivated.

Of course, in fact, the Suns are also huddles, a team composed of four All-Stars, but when Guo Xu joined, there was only one Marion who played, and he joined the Suns two years earlier than Nash, so he naturally received a higher evaluation.

On the Internet, there are still fans who will question Guo Xu, but basketball experts have recognized his strength.

"Jason Kuo's presence seems to make NBA games boring, because there are few teams that can pose a threat to the Suns, and they have a good chance of successfully defending their title this year, which is comparable to the Lakers' 2001-02 season."

"Having a super point guard that turns all Suns players into stars, Jason's individual abilities are not inferior to Jordan right now. Jordan is good at individual scoring, and he can't drive his teammates like that. ”

"The Lakers' letting go of Jason Guo for nothing will go down in history, it is the stupidest decision in the history of the Lakers, and now even if they trade two Kobes for Jason, the Suns will not change it."

The evaluations of Xiao Si and Joe Johnson have also increased significantly.

Xiao Si, the "beast", was completely released, Guo Xu could always find him in the cracks, and he could quickly rush to the basket after receiving the ball. Based on his phenomenal explosiveness and speed, he can hard-eat anyone, including Duncan and Garnett, in one-on-one basket singles.

Now Xiao Si has a trick that is extremely fierce, and many celebrities such as Nowitzki, Webb, and Ben Wallace have been taught by the insider. He can jump off the line of a reasonable collision zone, ignore defenses, dunk the ball into the basket from the side, and on a few occasions he doesn't even need a run.

What kind of animal is this? There are only two active interior players in the NBA who can do this, Smalls and Dwight Howard of the Magic. Chinese fans gave him the nickname "Little Overlord" as they did in his previous life, and he was so happy.

Joe Johnson is a low-key all-round fighter, and it is said that he cannot have any popularity, but he has also been praised by the media. Experts believe he has the potential to be the heart of a team, but he lacks the ball with the Suns.

Guo Xu knew that this was the league that began to deliberately guide public opinion, Joe Johnson averaged 16.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, and his average statistics should not be so high, even if his offensive efficiency is good.

When a team stands out and looks like it can dominate the league for many years, officials want to break up the team.

President David Stern felt that if the Suns and the four continued to play together, the other teams would simply not have a chance to compete for a championship. The Suns' offense is too powerful, and any two people who play well in each game can ensure the team's offensive firepower, and the four of them break out together to play against the Pistons and Spurs.

The league has stepped up its publicity efforts to get teams that are ready to rebuild to be interested in Joe Johnson and offer a salary cap to poach him.

If the contract can be renewed with the highest salary, it will be difficult for the Sun to retain people, because Guo Xu and Marion are the top salary, and Xiao Si must also have the highest salary if he wants to renew the contract, and he is now the second leader of the team.

Joe Johnson is only a fourth-class player, and if he also signs a salary cap, the Suns will not be able to renew the contract with others, and he will have to pay luxury tax in the future.

Four Suns have been named to the Western Conference All-Stars this year, the same as the Lakers in '98.

The starting five in the West: Guo Xu, Maddy, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming.

Seven substitutes: Smalls, Marion, Joe Johnson, Kobe, Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Pau Gasol.

Kobe Bryant has been a starter since he was first selected as an All-Star in 1998, but this time he was less popular than Maddie and Guo Xu became a substitute, and he received 1.64 million votes and was not as good as Duncan, who had a simple style of play, and only ranked sixth in the West.

Guo Xu became the All-Star vote king for three consecutive years with 3.02 million votes, and the number of votes he received also set a record in the NBA, making him the first All-Star to receive 3 million votes. Probably all the people who participated in the vote voted for him, and there was no dispute about his selection.

Yao Ming ranked second in the western region with only 2.55 million votes.

The starting five in the East: Iverson, James, Carter, Grant Hill, Shackle O'Neal.

Seven substitutes: Nash, Wade, Jermaine O'Neal, Ben Wallace, Arenas, Boozer, Paul Pearce.

There was a butterfly effect in the East, Boozer, who averaged 17.3 points and 11 rebounds per game, was selected as an All-Star, and it was very difficult for the Cavaliers to renew his contract in the summer. The statistics of Cavaliers center "Big Z" Ilgoskas have declined, and the limelight has been stolen by Boozer, if he joined the Jazz, "Big Z" should have been selected as an All-Star this season.

Nash joined the Hawks and topped the Wizards' Jamison out of the All-Star, while O'Neal became the Eastern Conference ticket king with more than 2.4 million votes.

This year, the Eastern Stars have gotten stronger......
