Chapter 581 [How to Play?] Die before you get out of school]
Almost all pundits believe that the new season is coming to an end, and the tone is surprisingly unanimous, which is actually the desire of league officials.
The Suns were the public enemies of the league last season, and all the teams were serious about them, but they couldn't beat them. Now that the Suns are out of luck, all the teams are ready to beat the Reservoir Dogs so that they can't eat and walk around.
The media spared no effort to praise Stadameyer, who has been praised since the summer, but now Xiao Si is not happy at all, even if he really has the strength of a "superstar", he is now a person who wants to do minimally invasive surgery.
After being admitted to the hospital, Xiao Si repeatedly asked the team doctor, Thomas Carter, if he could not have minimally invasive surgery, and Carter said every time that he had to do it, saying that he wanted to cry.
After the operation on October 3, Carter said that it was very successful, but Xiao Si was still not happy, and asked, "When will I come back?" Do you still have the same athletic ability as you did after your comeback? ”
"I can guarantee that your athletic ability will not drop much, but only if you develop for a long time. Many players play because they haven't fully recovered from their injuries, resulting in repeated injuries. Carter paused for a moment and said with a wry smile: "So, I suggest that you stop playing this season and come back next season, otherwise it may affect your entire career." ”
Xiao Si sighed, looking bitter and hateful. "This can't be done, if I don't come back, what if the team can't win the championship this year?"
The significance of the team's winning three consecutive championships is completely different from the three separate championships, Xiao Si has a strong desire to win, he is afraid of missing this opportunity, what if he can't win three times in a row in the future? That would have been a lifelong regret.
Carter said: "It's up to me whether you can play or not, depending on how you recover, if you play 15 seasons in your career, you have a lot of time to hit the triple championship, but if you come back early and the injury is aggravated, maybe you won't even be able to play for 10 seasons, this account is easy to calculate, right?" ”
“……”
Guo Xu called Xiao Si that day, and the two chatted for 20 minutes, and Guo Xu suggested that he listen to Carter's arrangement.
Because Guo Xu remembered that in his previous life, Xiao Si only played three games and then rested, which did not help the team or benefit himself.
He also knows that even if Xiao Si is injured, the strength of the Suns' remaining 13 players is not weak, and he is still confident to lead the team to win.
Josh Howard is getting better and better on the outside, Bale is a 3-and-D player as a starter, and Ariza and Eddie Jones are on the bench to make up for Joe Johnson's departure.
There is no shortage of people on the Suns inside, Nene can play the starter and take on the task of Xiao Si, Vallejo is excellent as a substitute defense, and rookie David Lee can also play as a substitute for the No. 3 and No. 4 positions.
If the Suns hadn't selected David Lee, Guo Xu wouldn't have such strong confidence, and his potential is very great.
Of course, David Lee in his rookie season is far from a star, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen to the end of the first round. He didn't perform well in college, and although he insisted on completing four years, he averaged only 11.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, making him a second-rate interior player with poor defense.
But David Lee has two advantages, one is that he has a stable mid-range shot and fast movement, and he can score if he is given more shots; The second is ...... He was handsome.
In the open training session, David Lee performed very eye-catching on the offensive end, can jump shots and dunks after blocking and dismantling, and has some female fans in Phoenix, and his arrival has obviously boosted the overall appearance of the Suns.
On the defensive end, David Lee did a very poor job of blocking and dismantling, his defensive awareness was extremely bad, and he often missed people and didn't know how to change defenses.
Fortunately, he is similar to Boozer, with a lot of strength, can resist people around the restricted area, and is good at fighting for rebounds in positions. The Suns have Haslem and Vallejo in charge of blocking and pick-and-roll, and David Lee can concentrate on grabbing rebounds, and his rebounding ability is better than that of Xiaosi.
Guo Xu was mentally prepared for Xiao Si's injury, and it was best to prevent it, and he was not afraid if he couldn't prevent it. So he is not depressed at all, and he is still smiling and welcoming in the team. He even thinks that Xiao Si's injury is also good, and this season the Suns will look even better.
Guo Xu maintained a good attitude as the core, and his teammates were also much more down-to-earth.
However, the blessings are incomparable, and the disasters are not one-way, and what happened a week later made the Suns and fans a little unacceptable.
In the second game of the preseason, in the Suns' game against the Spurs, Nene Hollow Cut collided with Duncan, resulting in a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in the right knee, a torn middle ligament, and a torn meniscus, which will be reimbursed for the season.
As soon as the results came out, the boss Brian collapsed, and shook his head several times in front of the camera when he announced it to the public.
This year, the time has come for the team doctor Carter to show his talents, not long after Xiao Si's surgery, another one was sent, and now he has become the strongest person on the Suns.
The media was in an uproar, and the Sun's inner twin towers were reimbursed one after another, and they seemed to be finished.
What's next for the Suns? Does the interior line rely on blue-collar workers and rookies? Kukoc, the veteran who is the best at shooting, was already a fringe man in his first two seasons.
The Suns have not had any major injuries for three consecutive seasons and have one of the fewest injuries in the league, and they have finally lost their luck this season.
The injury of the Suns Twin Towers seems to be accidental, but it is actually an accident in the accident, Xiao Si's accumulated illness is related to his style of play, and the serious injury of Nene is related to his mentality.
After entering the league, Nene was very excited to play every time he played against Duncan, his size was suitable for defending Duncan, and the media often praised him for better defense than Xiaosi, which made him feel very accomplished.
Nene can both resist Duncan and interfere with shots, and he also performed on the offensive end in the Suns vs. Spurs series, which was highly rated last season.
This preseason against the Spurs, Nene is even more excited, Xiao Si is reimbursed due to injury, he is recognized as the biggest beneficiary, and he will be the starter in the new season, and it just so happens that he is in another contract year.
If he plays good statistics, he can sign a long-term contract with a high salary, and if he can cut an average of 20+ per game, he should be able to get the maximum salary, and some teams believe that he has no good data because of the lack of ball possession.
After discussing with his agent, Nene was ready to go all out, and he played proactively in the preseason, and he was brave at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, just like Xiao Si.
As a result, he died before he could get out of school......
After knowing his injury, a 7-foot man in the hospital cried, and when Guo Xu and others went to visit the patient, he said "I'm sorry for everyone" over and over again.
Without Xiao Si, many fans believe that the Suns still have the strength to compete for the championship, because Nene is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Now that there is no Nene, everyone says that the sun is finished. In 2004, the Suns eliminated the Timberwolves in the West, and the play of the Twin Towers was very crucial.
After the Suns coaching staff met and studied, D'Antoni suggested that Guo Xu reduce his shots in the preseason, run in with his teammates more, and help David Lee find an offensive feeling as soon as possible and integrate into the team, so that they can still play and run in the new season.
Guo Xu did so, and it was the Suns' main tactic to block and dismantle in the preseason and David Lee's positional battle.
Wanting David Lee to play at a level is to help the seedlings, he has just entered the NBA, and he will immediately have to take on a lot of responsibilities, and the pressure must be very high, maybe he will hit the rookie wall. Rookies are more difficult to play on the defensive end, they are easy to be targeted by the referees, and they can be whistled for fouls if they move a little bigger.
However, people were surprised to find that the Suns' offense in the preseason was still fierce, and the attack power did not seem to have decreased much compared to the previous season.
They ended up with a 6-1 record, with the only loss to the Spurs......
