Chapter 560 [Famous Su, Enter the Finals]
Before the start of the third game of Grizzlies vs Suns, the sports media were almost discussing Guo Xu's matter.
Guo Xu didn't think much about receiving the MVP trophy, and he didn't compare himself with anyone, but what D'Antoni said pushed him to the forefront and caused a group of celebrities to be dissatisfied.
There are too many gods in the NBA who have been praised, and the gods are obviously not enough. Those celebrities from forty or fifty years ago have jumped out to point out the country and brush up on their presence, otherwise the fans will completely forget about them.
But as an old-timer, if you come out again and again to talk nonsense, it will really make people feel uncomfortable.
Guo Xu's style of play and the small-ball era he triggered are undoubtedly unpopular with old-school players and coaches, in their opinion, people of Guo Xu's height who seem to have little confrontation ability are not qualified to be compared with them at any time, and they prefer players like James.
In fact, it is not that the celebrities hate Guo Xu because he said anything bad or did anything wrong, but that a defender like him has achieved great success, impacting the traditional thinking of celebrities and stealing everyone's limelight.
In the eyes of many seniors, Guo Xu's style of play is not a master at all. In fact, if everyone speaks with their fists, none of these people can beat Guo Xu, after all, none of them have ever fought professional boxing.
The Suns won 117-102 on the road and led 3-0 overall.
Guo Xu scored 41 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, this time the Grizzlies strictly defended the inside, Guo Xu increased his heads-up shots, and once again broke Jason Williams, leading the team to win strongly.
After the game, a reporter talked about the fact that the celebrity had a very low evaluation of Guo Xu, and unlike before, he chose to respond positively.
"How did those players train 40 or 50 years ago? How do you mix and drink? Does anyone know about this? I'd love to learn now, because 50 years ago players were taller, stronger, faster, more flexible, and a star player like me probably wouldn't be able to make it into the league, and a modern role player would probably not be qualified to be a sparring partner. ”
Journalists will not answer this question, and they do not have to answer, how could people in that era be physically better than they are now? Even if there are a few people with outstanding physical fitness, the whole cannot be compared with modern times.
A reporter asked, "Are you saying you're better than a retired celebrity?" ”
Guo Xu shook his head and smiled: "I didn't say that, don't frame me." But I can tell you what I'm going to think of the stars of 2050 in 50 years' time. The league is not good now, you are all scum, if I play in this era, I will definitely be able to win an average of 40+20 data per game, my predecessors are even better, an average of 100 points per game. ”
The reporters in the venue were stunned for a few seconds, BA will have a few madmen in every era, but Guo Xu is the first one who dares to scare the famous people like this.
At this time, at that time, now Guo Xu's confidence is very strong, so there is no need to be polite.
This year, the Suns' lineup is terrifyingly strong, unless other strong teams in the league start to form a Big Three and Big Four in advance, how can they compete with them? This year's Suns are the Big Four.
Guo Xu has been the MVP of the regular season three times in a row, as long as the Suns win the championship again, he will hold four championship rings, which can explode most people in NBA history, those celebrities who don't like him, except for Jordan, who has more honors than him?
Guo Xu thinks that the Sun is 100% winning the championship this year, so what else is he polite? The celebrities who directly sent the words to spray him, and then he would slap these people in the face with his results.
He has a huge advantage, which is age, he still plays in the NBA, and the future is endless. Retired stars simply can't prove that they can do it in this era, they can only play lip service. Guo Xu doesn't believe that fans will choose to side with retired people.
Sure enough, online fans began to discuss that night, and most of them sided with Guo Xu.
Guo Xu even listed the slots for the fans, if anyone really thinks that Robertson's gang has better physical fitness than now, and posting to support them is simply showing their IQ.
As for the celebrities who are angry, they deserve it. Every time, they find fault first, Guo Xu doesn't fight back, these people come to find fault endlessly, and finally humiliate themselves, who is to blame? You can't Guo Xu keep spitting on himself and respect these people who have never met, never eaten together, or chatted with each other, right?
The Grizzlies continued to play at home, and the fourth game was a battle for honor.
It's useless, every Grizzlies lose the same way, the inside double bears perform well, the swingman and the point guard are guarded to death, the Suns bloom more on one side, the inside and outside can score, pull away the score little by little, and have the last laugh.
113-101, the Suns swept the Grizzlies 4-0 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
Guo Xu averaged 28 points and 15 assists per game in the series, and Williams had no way to take him from beginning to end.
Grizzlies management is completely desperate for Williams, who has never played at a star level in the playoffs, and Mike Bibby, the point guard who the Grizzlies traded to the Kings, has performed very well, although he has not been selected as an All-Star, but the offense is much more reliable than Williams.
At the press conference, Gasol praised Guo Xu a few words, and his tone was full of regret.
He'd heard that the Lakers almost traded with the Grizzlies, and if he had partnered with Guo Xu, he might have won the championship by now, and he had never experienced what it was like to be paired with a top guard.
The other series in the West ended in a 2-2 draw, with both sides winning two home games each.
Almost everyone is optimistic that the Suns will win the championship, because the SuperSonics did not have a very good record in the regular season, but they can still compete with the Spurs, and the two teams will definitely not be able to bargain against the Suns.
After playing two more games, the Spurs first won the battle of Tianwang Mountain at home, and then narrowly defeated the SuperSonics 98-96 on the road, and advanced to the Western Conference finals with a total score of 4-2.
Unlike in 2003, when the two teams met, the media and fans were overwhelmingly optimistic about the Suns, with many believing that the Spurs would win if they were not swept.
The Eastern Conference Heat swept the Wizards 4-0, and the Pacers defeated the Hawks 4-2 to meet in the Eastern Conference Finals. There have been no upsets this year, and the results of the semi-finals are exactly the same as the experts' pre-match predictions.
On May 22, the Western Conference Finals kicked off in Phoenix, and the Suns beat the Spurs 2-0 cleanly, going to the away road with a huge advantage.
The Spurs played harder at home, but they couldn't do anything with the Suns, losing two games in a row and being swept out 0-4.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the Spurs eliminated the Nash-led Suns 4-1, although they couldn't prevent Xiao Si and let Xiao Si average 37 points per game, but Parker's performance was not inferior to Nash and could explode each other. Coupled with Joe Johnson's injury to Starkerhouse in the series against the Mavericks, the Suns are not the strongest lineup.
The Suns lineup in this life is much stronger than in previous lives, Smalls is still brave, Joe Johnson is not injured, and Spurs forward defense expert Bruce Bowen doesn't know who he should play against.
In his previous life, Parker could score high scores almost every time he met Nash, while he was at a disadvantage against Guo Xu almost every time, and his biggest weapon breakthrough could not be played, so he could only score in the middle of the shot.
The Spurs are not dominant in all positions, and even Duncan's statistics are inferior to Xiaosi, how can they win the suns?
The Suns swept three consecutive rounds and entered the holiday season waiting for the Eastern teams to break out, and the Eastern Conference finals ended in a 2-2 draw, and experts predicted that the two sides would have to play a tiebreaker.
The Suns, like the Lakers in the 2001 playoffs, had to rest for at least ten days this vacation...... ()
