Chapter 686 [Guiding Public Opinion, I am the Most Realistic]

The league's key publicity series is the Cavaliers VS Hawks, with the aim of praising the "little emperor" James. In the third season of his career, the 21-year-old James looks very promising and can at least become Guo Xu's number one challenger.

James' first-round stunner was a bit of a disgrace, but the media deliberately downplayed the referee's failure to watch the video replay, ignored the Heat's protests, and kept making a fuss about the comprehensiveness of James' technology.

Of course, James does have the ability to play superstar data, and few players can do it as soon as he enters the league and is the boss of the team, and Guo Xu has also been a junior brother in the Lakers.

Now Guo Xu sprayed the Spurs to play dirty before the game, stole the limelight and attracted the attention of fans, and more people paid attention to the Western Conference Finals.

Compared to the East, the Western Conference Finals have a more-for-tat feel, and the two teams have met many times in the playoffs, which can be considered old enemies.

On the Internet, in response to Guo Xu's call, you really cut out a collection of Bowen's defense, so that people can see Bowen's defensive methods, and edited the bad comments of several stars on Bowen.

There are no players in the NBA who support Bowen because no player will sympathize with him, only Spurs fans speak for him, saying that Bowen uses small gestures and does not abolish anyone.

This kind of rebuttal is weak, does Bowen have to seriously injure all the people in the league who are in positions with him, and completely abolish them to prove that he is a bad person?

Some fans talked about Duncan's injury, believing that as long as the Spurs don't make off-the-beaten-track moves, eighty percent of them can't win against the Suns. This time, the Suns' young players are more confident and realize that they have an advantage.

Guo Xu directly listed the weaknesses of his opponent, not blindly, but something reported by the media.

Many people are talking about what would have happened to Duncan, nicknamed "The Flying Devil", if there was no major injury in 2000, but that injury did not affect Duncan much, and he was in the top three in the MVP vote for four consecutive years after his comeback, until the appearance of plantar fasciitis in 2004.

This chronic disease seems to be ordinary, not as direct as Duncan's reimbursement, but it will eat away at the player's fighting spirit and state little by little, making people very uncomfortable. Duncan's plantar fasciitis was the worst period this season, with the stats falling below 20+10 for the first time.

In Guo Xu's previous life, although Duncan returned to the 20+10 ranks in the following year, the decline was inevitable. Coupled with Vicky's well-timed rotation tactics, Duncan has not been in the top five MVP selections since 2007.

The regular season team rotates more, it doesn't matter if the core playing time is shorter, the Spurs have a high winning rate, but in the playoffs, it is the star ability, and Duncan is indeed very bad for the Spurs if he has limited playing time.

If there was no plantar fasciitis, Duncan's peak state should have been a few more years, and now he has no bottom on Guo Xu.

Guo Xu is full of confidence, and in the previous life, the Spurs were eliminated by the Mavericks with a total score of 3-4 in the second round of this season. Their lineup and past life changes are minimal, and the core is still those people. Playing the Mavericks, the Spurs had home court advantage and were eliminated, and now it is the Suns who have home court advantage.

Before the game even started, the Suns' momentum had overpowered the Spurs.

** Vicky saw that the situation was unfavorable and was angry in an interview. "This is a trumped-up slander, I will not arrange players to deliberately hurt the opponent, Bowen does not deliberately hurt the opponent, Jason Guo is afraid of losing to the Spurs to deliberately guide public opinion, he is very hypocritical."

The reporter said: "Jason Guo even brushes the data and doesn't take the defense seriously, many people say that he is the most frank player." ”

** Vicky: "......"

The Spurs are really dumb and can't say what they are suffering, even if Bowen hasn't started yet, they are already in a disadvantageous situation, because Bowen has done too much of this kind of bad thing, and there have been two times this season.

Bowen was scolded by fans for stepping on Carter many times during the regular season. On December 6, Carter, who was already in the Nets, faced the Spurs, and Bowen repeated his old tricks when defending. Obviously, with the painful lessons of the previous one, Carter was prepared for a jumper in front of Bowen, he dodged Bowen's black foot and didn't step on the injury, and he couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed to Bowen after getting up, trying to beat him up and was pulled away by his teammates. At this point, Bowen looked innocent and spread his hands to the referee.

This is the third time Bowen has stepped on Carter, and it is really chasing the pad.

After the game, the reporter interviewed Bowen and asked him if he did it on purpose, and Bowen frankly said that he didn't mean it, although cases show that he realized it after joining the Spurs, and defensive stars often have this virtue.

In February, during the Spurs' game against the Magic, Steve Francis sprained his ankle and was forced to leave the court early after stepping on Bowen's foot with his left foot after completing a jumper in the first quarter.

Because of this foul, the Magic couldn't trade Francis in the middle of the season.

The worst injured player under Bowen's defence was Hamilton, who was responsible for defending Hamilton in the 2004-05 season.

The tall and thin mid-pitcher is extremely fast, and Bowen often can't keep up, and Bowen pokes Hamilton's eyes with his fingers many times in order to prevent Hamilton. You must know that Hamilton played with a mask, and it is outrageous that his mask was directly knocked off by Bowen once and stabbed in the eye.

Who is more credible to speak, a birdman like Bowen and Guo Xu, does this need to be asked?

Some fans believe that Guo Xu is saving himself in this way, and he has a hunch that the Spurs series will definitely attack him. Indeed, how did the Spurs deal with Nash in the 2007 playoffs in their previous life? Guo Xu's rebirth is still fresh in his memory for so many years.

Nash had the bridge of his nose broken, was knocked off the air by Horry, and even had Bowen knee on his crotch......

** Vicky found that he could no longer arrange off-the-board moves, and the Spurs were stared at by countless pairs of eyes.

Guo Xu is a fast-paced defender, 35-year-old Bowen can't defend himself, he can't keep up with the speed, so he can only help defend.

A small forward doesn't care about his own people, chasing the point guard to step on his feet, if Guo Xu is injured, he didn't mean it? As long as Bowen dares to be bad to Guo Xu, he and the Spurs will be scolded to death by the fans this year, and President Stern will also sanction them, and it will be difficult for the Spurs to win the championship.

** Vicky felt that Guo Xu was terrible at this time, and generously said some words, which not only left a good impression that he was very practical and honest, but also increased the chips for the Suns to advance to the finals and gained a lot of support.

Even if the Spurs win this series, it will be controversial, and those who expect the Suns to reach the finals and defend their title will surely find every penalty in the game's favor from the referees, or the small actions of the Spurs players when defending, to attack the Spurs.

At this time of the playoffs, it is inevitable that the defense will be big, and the players will be very strong against each other, because no team wants to lose. If Bowen doesn't make small movements, is it still Bowen?

After reading the news, Duncan was also convinced.

He and Guo Xu didn't speak, and when they met on All-Star Weekend, they nodded and said hello. Recently, some of Guo Xu's practices have made Duncan feel more like a college graduate majoring in psychology than himself.

On May 24, the first battle between the two sides started in Phoenix. China CCTV5 live broadcast, TNT live broadcast in the United States.

Guo Xu threw magnesium powder during the warm-up as usual, which led to the atmosphere of the home stadium. The Suns don't need to send a unified T-shirt to boost morale, and many viewers use Guo Xu's No. 1 jersey as a jacket, which has been unified in color.

Suns starters: Guo Xu, Blake, Bale, Haslem, Vallejo.

Spurs starters: Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Robert Horry, Duncan.
