In the course of the Suns' road trip, the NBA mid-term trade deadline came and the Suns management did not make any trades.

It's not that Brian Colangelo doesn't work hard, it's that he can't find the right dealer. The Suns don't let go of the people they want, and the Suns don't like the people that other teams want to trade.

And the Suns lack interesting chips, the two newcomers on the inside, Nene and Stoudamire, who play very well, must be not for sale, Kukoc, Gugliotta and other veterans with big contracts, no one is stupid to introduce them.

The only deal that could be negotiated is to send 2002 No. 22 rookie Casey Jacobson for the Bucks' 2000 No. 9 pick in the first round, Joel Poolsbilla. It was an offer from the assistant manager, which was vetoed by Brian.

PURZBILLA IS A BLUE-COLLAR HIGH SCHOOL FORWARD WITH A HEIGHT OF 216CM AND 120 KILOGRAMS, WHO PLAYED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE BUCKS AND DID NOTHING EXCEPT DEFEND THE RESTRICTED AREA, AVERAGING 1.5 POINTS, 4.5 REBOUNDS AND 1.4 BLOCKS PER GAME.

If Brian asked Guo Xu's opinion in advance, Guo Xu would definitely suggest that in exchange, the Sun would not lose money.

When entering the playoffs against O'Neal and Duncan, let Poolsby pull up to top it, and the defensive effect is definitely better than all the current interior lines of the Suns. It is a hidden danger for the team to only rely on the inside to defend the penalty area, and Haslem could still top it, but now Haslem has almost lost weight to a normal state, and his strength has dropped a lot.

In the eyes of the reborn Guo Xu, Jacobsen has no future, he can do anything, he is not proficient, and he can't cultivate it if he keeps it.

Purzbila is a bull B role, in his previous life, he was traded to the Trailblazers with the "center curse", and he played for many seasons as a starter and did not abolish it, and after the "Emperor" Oden joined, Purzbila also started for half a season, this is an iron man!

Unfortunately, Jerry and Brian don't have this kind of vision, and in their eyes, Purzbila is a pure waste.

The Suns' next game is against the Bucks.

The Bucks made a big deal at the deadline, trading Ray Allen, Ronald Murray, Kevin Ollie and a 2003 first-round pick for 34-year-old contract veteran point guard Gary Payton and Desmond Mason, the "King of Sanya" in the slam dunk contest.

Gary Payton spoke in an interview about the reason for being traded by the SuperSonics, saying that not having the right owner was the reason he wanted to leave. In 2001, Schultz bought the team from Barry Akeli and made a lot of promises that were never fulfilled, which was very unpopular.

'He messed up the whole team and when he bought the team, people didn't care about us anymore. He made a lot of stupid decisions, like trading me out. ”

For the SuperSonics, Payton's departure ended the Sonics' golden age, and the team moved out of Seattle to Oklahoma City.

For the Bucks, this is more than a trade for nothing, because Payton has no intention of renewing his contract with the Bucks, and at the end of his career, he hopes to join a championship-contending team.

Even if Ray Allen has conflicts with everyone, he is still a star defender in his playing years, and he can be exchanged for better players.

The overall strength of the Bucks has really improved, and they pressed the Suns to play at the beginning.

Kassel and Payton are both heavy guards that Guo Xu hates, and they are good at hitting the ball with their butts, and simple top defense is useless for them.

Unlike Andre Miller, who is unstable in the Clippers' shooting, Payton and Cassel don't need to squeeze near the restricted area, and the shooting rate is not low when they turn around, and Guo Xu can't cover it.

If the Suns were packing, Tim Thomas and Michael Reed were good at pulling away and shooting three-pointers. Veteran Anthony Mason Jr. is well-rounded, and newcomer Desmond Mason is physically strong and can also make a difference.

Overall, the Bucks are a team that relies on swingmen to win, with players over 190cm tall and not afraid of misalignment defensively.

The Bucks' center position is also not a weakness, with three blue-collar teams: Gazuric, Purzbilla, and Theo Ratliff.

All three of them have terrible offense, the team doesn't need them to contribute as many points, and the defensive system is qualified to be able to guard the penalty area. This Xiao Si and Nene offense were blocked, shooting from outside the box was okay, and the Bucks were fouled as soon as they cut away. Both rookies are shooting less than 70 percent of their free throws per game this year, so they have to practice.

The Bucks became stronger, which was the butterfly effect caused by Guo Xu's joining the Suns. In the summer, the Bucks traded Hardaway for Kukoc, and the Bucks will later trade Robinson for the injury-prone Ratliff.

By mistake, the Bucks picked up a big bargain, and Ratliff came out of injury this season, and although the offense was poor and his performance was slightly worse than when he was with the 76ers, he strengthened the Bucks' interior defense, averaging 3 blocks per game.

The Suns' winning streak was ended, suffering their 16th loss, and the team failed to break 100 points, 95-101.

At this time, Colangelo and his son regretted a little, feeling that Hardaway should have been traded for Ratliffe last summer, so that the team's defense would be strengthened. It's a win-win, Ratliff is also very mobile, can play and run, and the Suns have a miracle doctor in charge, and injuries or anything is not a problem.

If you miss something, you can only YY it, last season Ratliff only played 3 games and was reimbursed for the season, the Hawks traded him from the 76ers, and he played a total of 3 games, if it wasn't for the Reborn, who would dare to make this kind of trade?

The next day, the Suns played back-to-back against the Celtics, and Guo Xu met with Wang Zhizhi at noon and had a meal together.

Wang Zhizhi has been a little annoyed lately, because all the media are saying that he has poor defense and is not a qualified inside substitute.

Guo Xu gave him some advice. "You just have to do your best defensively, grab more rebounds, shoot more points, and play good stats is the most important thing. People who are too selfless generally don't get big contracts, and if you can grab 10 rebounds per game, even if you never change the defense, reporters won't say you're soft. ”

There are too many players in the NBA who are unwilling to defend and dismantle and only stare at rebounding, Guo Xu has seen clearly who is the brush and who is the real defensive master in the past three years.

The Celtics' "fat head" Antoine Walker is such a person, he also pulls out to play blocking, shoots three-pointers, moves slowly, and his defense of outside blocking is not much better than Wang Zhizhi, and he made it to the All-Star this year.

Of course, Walker also has advantages, he can not only shoot, but also play passing, he is very strong on the defensive end, and can resist people in the low post, which is something Wang Zhizhi is not good at.

Wang Zhizhi smiled bitterly: "If I do that, how can the team win?" ”

"In my opinion, winning the championship is called winning, and winning in the regular season is not called winning." Guo Xu smiled: "With all due respect, the Celtics don't have the slightest hope of winning the championship, you should think about your next contract." ”

Wang Zhizhi's rebounds are too few, it's not that he can't grab them, after all, his height and weight are there, and his basic skills are also very solid. Guo Xu doesn't think he can become a star, but playing like Matt Blunt is fine.

At present, Blunt has no ball to play in the Nuggets and was cut in the middle of the game, because Wang Zhizhi's existence has not been able to return to the Celtics, and his fate has seriously deviated from course.

That night, the Suns were sharp on the fast attack, and the blocking and dismantling cooperation could also create opportunities, and the game went into garbage time in the third quarter, and the Celtics won by 28 points and refused to lose in a row.

After a big circle in the East, they are finally back at home. (https:)
