Chapter 405 [Eye-catching cheek gang, inseparable hacker]
On the 21st, the Suns defeated the visiting Heat 103-98 at home.
The game was thrilling, because Guo Xu had a poor hand, shot 2 of 10 three-pointers, and only scored 20 points in 40 minutes of play, handed out 12 assists, and had 5 turnovers.
Players who want to compete for the scoring title are easy to wear invisible shackles, and Guo Xu wants to guarantee more than 20 points per game, because his status in the NBA has become very high. It would be too shameless if he didn't score a double-double when he occasionally didn't score like he did in the first two seasons of his career with the Lakers, and he had to shoot in order to ensure the data.
In fact, from the perspective of fans, there are more black spots in games where the stars have a low shooting rate but high scores, and the reason is simple, but Guo Xu's mentality has changed after he won the regular season MVP, and he can no longer look at the problem from the perspective of fans.
is touted by a group of people every day, no matter how low-key a star is, it will inevitably produce some arrogance after a long time, not to mention that Guo Xu has never been low-key? With arrogance, it is easy to compete with others.
Guo Xu's object of competition is the starting guard of the Heat, the original "Flash" of the NBA in his previous life, and one of the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust" in the future, "Gills" Dwyane Wade.
As soon as Wade entered the league, he had a perverted physical fitness, with a height of 193CM, an arm span of 210CM, a weight of 96 kg, a height of 259CM when he stood up, a total body fat of 6.7%, a bounce of 80CM on the spot, and a running bounce of 89CM.
The 3/4 sprint stats for the Heat have not been revealed, but Wade's strongest is speed and agility, he is a heavy guard, but his speed can be compared to many lightweight small guards.
Wade's performance was very eye-catching, scoring 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, he played point guard, forced to break through Guo Xu and couldn't defend it, the impact was too strong.
Wade and the forward are not at a physical disadvantage, his weakness is that he does not shoot well in the middle and long range, and he is easy to be caught near the penalty area.
After Lamar Odom joined, the Heat's interior strength also improved, and he scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in this game. However, the overall strength of the Heat is slightly lower than in the previous game, because the team is missing Haslem.
On the 23rd, Guo Xu broke out at home, scoring 34 points, 11 assists and 4 steals, leading the team to defeat the weak team Magic 116-89.
The Magic started with a 1-11 record, which was a big surprise.
Last season, the Magic were able to defend, and after changing the roster in the summer and bringing in former star power forward Juwan Howard, they immediately became a fish belly team. Howard's average of 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game is beautiful, but the opponent's power forward will play more luxurious statistics against him.
Howard played small forward at his peak, he played as an interior colander, and the current position suitable for him is the bench, and it is too reluctant to play the starter. The coach couldn't help it, if Howard didn't play the starter, he would have to let "Spring Man" Swift play.
Swift will always have a brain in his head, he has no shots on the offensive end, he scores by air cuts, and he flies when the opponent on the defensive end shakes, and he is still like this in his fourth season, wasting a good body in vain.
The power forward position is at least experienced and talented, and the Magic's starting center, Andrew De Klerk, is completely unqualified, lacking both scoring ability and sparse defense.
Their perimeter weaknesses are equally obvious, with starting point guard Tyrone Lue and this year's second-round rookie Keith Bogans at point guard.
As the core, Maddie really has nothing to do this season except to brush up on statistics, and this lineup is impossible to win. Due to the poor strength of his teammates, Maddie was frequently packed, and all statistics and shooting percentage were not as good as last season.
After a comfortable win over the Warriors, the Suns lost 104-110 to the Nuggets at the end of the month.
Marion went off with a sprained ankle after only two minutes of play, and the Suns went crazy with only three players scoring in double figures.
Guo Xu chipped in 26 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, and Stodamire had 25 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, but except for them, everyone else performed badly.
The Nuggets players did not score high, and the best Anthony only had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and the victory was more than 10 points, with 7 players on the team scoring double-doubles, and 5 people 15+.
The substitute Joan Barry made 4 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 12 points and 3 assists efficiently; Rodney White, a power forward who had no impression of Guo Xu's previous life, made 5 of 11 shots and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists.
Marion is not seriously injured and has to miss a few games, and the Suns are missing an All-Star and their strength is declining.
Entering the first game of December, the Suns lost 90-92 at home to the Timberwolves, and the team did a good job on the defensive end, but failed to break 100 points, suffering two consecutive defeats.
Only Guo Xu and Xiao Si scored double-doubles on the Suns team, Joe Johnson shot 1 of 8 from the field, Bell shot 1 from 6, and Kirisek shot 0 from 5, and the outside line was collectively inaccurate.
Guo Xu made more shots in the second half, shooting 14 of 25 from the field, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 36 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, but he couldn't get back a victory.
At the end of the game, D'Antoni boldly sent on the bench veteran Kukoc, allowing Guo Xu to attract the defense and divide the ball to the bottom corner, creating an opportunity, and Kukoc's three-pointer deflected off the basket.
Odds won't get a contract extension from the Suns after this season, and he's now worth only $10 million on his expiring contract.
The Suns only lost two games last month, and Guo Xu was elected Western Conference Player of the Month with his best record and beautiful stats.
The Suns didn't have a smooth December as they lost back-to-back 98-102 to the Nets after beating the Celtics 120-106 on the 5th.
Xiao Si was in a very sluggish state this time, only 7 of 20 shots pitted the Suns, and almost all of his mid-range shots missed the basket.
Star point guard Jason Kidd continued to play steadily, hitting a quasi-triple-double with 15 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists. His scoring ability is not as good as Guo Xu, but his defense is much better than Guo Xu, and he can defend against Xiao Si, Haslem and other inside lines after misalignment.
Nets blue-collar center Jason Collins has ugly offensive stats and is the NBA's most tall player, inflating a full 10cm, but his defense is really good, both near the box and out with opponents.
Relying on defensive ability, after Mourning was reimbursed for kidney disease, Collins became the starting center of the Nets.
Kenyon Martin is a super-mobile beast power forward who excels at pick-and-rolls and blocks, and has a lot of dunks on the offensive end, attracting a lot of fans.
The Nets win by defense, offense is average, they may be the best team in the league to defend and dismantle, the overall defense is fast, not afraid of running and bombing counterattacks, and to a large extent restrain the Suns.
At this time, Suns fans discovered the importance of Marion, who is truly an All-Star caliber star.
In the basketball game, the defense of the wing players is very important, Marion's absence, the Suns' overall defense will be weakened, and the Suns management offered the "hacker" a maximum salary back then, many people think it is too high, in fact, it is not good to poach Nash without him.
Guo Xu's previous life, in the 2007-08 season, the Suns traded Marion in the middle of the season in exchange for O'Neal, and the wing defense deteriorated, but he barely made the playoffs and was eliminated by the Spurs in the first round. Last season, the Suns were the second-best team in the West in the regular season, with 60+ wins.
In the 2008-09 season, the Suns management also traded Ragabel, and the best person on the wing defense was the veteran Grant Hill, which was to die, the Suns directly missed the playoffs, and O'Neal was also traded and became the one who took the blame.
Marion joined the Mavericks at the age of 32 and is still an excellent wing defender, helping the Mavericks win championships.
It takes time for Josh Howard to grow up, and the Suns are now inseparable from "hackers". (https:)
