Guo Xu is well aware of the Suns' weaknesses and is not good enough to defend the penalty area. If the Suns don't cover the low post in the Western finals, it is not surprising that Duncan played an average of 35+15 per game, and Duncan scored 26 points, 12.3 rebounds and 5 assists after the pack.

The tall "meat shield blue-collar workers" must have, you don't need to play for too long, at a certain time, when the Spurs and Lakers outside players have cold hands and need to attack the restricted area inside, they will be sent to defend a wave and play for about 15 minutes. Don't underestimate these 15 minutes, as long as you reduce the opponent's inside scoring efficiency, a game with 4 or 5 points less is likely to determine the victory or defeat between strong teams.

It is definitely not possible to choose a rookie center in the class of 2003, no matter how good the talent is, if the Suns already have Xiao Si and Nene in the Suns, this person will not be cultivated, and will only be abolished.

It's impossible to sign a cheap blue-collar center in the free market, Olavokandi and Nesterovic are both known as "big fish", and many teams will rush to give them high-salary long-term contracts, and at the very least, they have to be full middle-class.

The only cheap and resistant libero center is Battle, who is too slow and lets defenders break through casually after blocking.

But if you really give Battle a base salary, and the Suns win the championship again next season, it's quite emotional to think about it. He will surely be remembered by history. Battle the super center who completed the NBA individual two consecutive championships! Career total ...... 50 games.

After thinking about it, Guo Xu thought that he could only find a meat shield center through trading. It's not easy to trade for an excellent blue-collar worker, and even a floor-flowing fat guy like Chakalidis, the average team won't put it.

Guo Xu looked through the list of players of each team in detail, fortunately found a suitable center forward candidate, and immediately sent the information to the mailbox of manager Brian, and sent a mobile phone text message, telling him that this person had to be traded.

Brian was a little confused after reading the information, it was not that Guo Xu chose a non-sale, but that this person was too easy to exchange, but it didn't seem to be useful at all.

Brian immediately called to confirm. "Do you really want Cavaliers center Desagana Diop? This guy was the worst player on the worst team last season. ”

"It's him, his strength can resist anyone, this is exactly what we need." Guo Xu said with a smile.

Diop, the No. 8 rookie in the first round in 2001, was widely favored by experts, but after playing one season, he became a parallel commodity in the mouths of the media. Last season, he averaged 11.8 minutes per game, 1.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1 block while shooting 35% from the field.

The Senegalese center has never been able to prove that he has the starting prowess, as he has almost zero offensive ability and is the worst offensive player in the league, scoring only on dunks and shooting wide from under the basket. It's not an exaggeration at all, this person's skills are really rough to an incredible extent.

Diop can have such a high alignment, all thanks to excellent body side data. HE IS 213CM TALL, WEIGHS 127 KG, HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 228CM, HAS EXCELLENT BOUNCE AND STRENGTH, AND SEEMS TO BE A SUPERSTAR SEEDLING.

As it turned out, Diop had no talent on the offensive end, and even cut off the shooting button.

It doesn't matter, Guo Xu knows very well the value of Diop, that is, defense.

In his previous life, Diop proved himself with the Mavericks. His best season with average data per game was only 3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, but he only played 17.2 minutes, which was very efficient. In the 2005-2006 season, he played just 18.6 minutes in the regular season and contributed 1.8 blocks.

In the 2006 finals, the statistics of O'Neal that he and Dampier defended together dropped sharply, and they were so fierce that they could defend O'Neal and Duncan alone.

Brian agreed to a trade with the Cavaliers and asked, "Do you have a picker for the perimeter defender?" ”

"Yes, libero Raja Bale, the backup point guard who was with the Mavericks last season, don't miss the signing, I was especially impressed with him in the playoffs."

"No problem, I'll contact his agent."

"Remember to sign for a long time, and strive to sign for five years."

Guo Xu continued to spend his vacation in Los Angeles, working on film scripts with Meghan. In fact, he just provided a story, the script was written by professionals, not only with detailed dialogue, but also with detailed shots, so it was clear how to play it at a glance.

Since the script is tailor-made, Meghan only needs to perform in her true colors, and she does not have to worry about her acting skills.

In order to give Meghan this birthday gift, Guo Xu has been preparing since January, with a production cost budget of 10 million US dollars, and both of them are paid zero and directly participate in dividends.

Two days later, Guo Xu got good news from his manager.

Bryan reached out to Cavaliers management and offered to trade last season's Suns' first-round rookie, swingman Jacobson, for Diop.

Joe Johnson and Kirichek have both played better than Jacobson, he played a good game throughout the playoffs, and he was completely invisible against the Spurs in the Western Conference finals, and D'Antoni did not dare to let him play.

Jacobson has a serious problem with his mentality, his personality is relatively cowardly, he is scared as soon as he plays in the playoffs, he can only play at the level of 70% in training, and he likes to throw waves when he is nervous, and he is allowed for that game.

According to Guo Xu's request, Bryan offered Raga Bell a five-year, $15 million long-term contract, the same as the 1999 Lakers contract extension Fisher, who happily agreed because it was a premium contract.

Bell entered the NBA in the non-draft, is 27 years old this year, eats on defense, looks like he will be eliminated from the league at any time, he played three seasons, has no dazzling statistics, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to prove himself, it's over.

With an annual salary of 3 million, in Bale's opinion, he has already been successful in his life, and he can only get two years' final salary to other teams, and the maximum annual salary of one million cannot be higher. He played 15.6 minutes in the regular season last season and averaged 6.3 points, 3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in the playoffs.

Indeed, in Guo Xu's previous life, Bell signed with the Jazz team for 2 million in 2 years in the summer of 2003.

From the perspective of Guo Xu, a reborn person, the sun has made a lot of money this time. Of course, Bale didn't suffer, if he played well with the Suns and won the favor of advertisers, he could earn more than his annual salary by shooting a few commercials.

Bell has a strong single defense ability, can shoot three-pointers, and is a superb "3D player". In his previous life, he proved his worth with the Jazz and then joined the Suns as a five-year full-play mid-range, and in 2005 he signed for the mid-range seemed a good deal.

To strengthen the outside line, Guo Xu's most optimistic person is Battier, but Battier's contract will not expire until 2005, and he can't sign cheaply, with his current data, it is almost impossible to trade from the Warriors in the summer.

Also outside 3D, Bale is currently the easiest free agent to recruit, and there is no one.

Guo Xu breathed a sigh of relief and was happy for the sincerity shown by the management, when he was with the Lakers, he couldn't care how the team traded him, he could only wait and see the results.

It's so cool to be the boss! He doesn't have to force the palace, he calmly puts forward some suggestions, as long as he is not brainless, he will be adopted.

While neither of these signings is well-known, the style definitely suits the team, and the Suns' Achilles' heel has been remedied.

The team will not renew the contract of fringe man Maurice Evans in the summer, and the signing of Raga Bale can be considered a "shotgun change", he can be the starter, and Kirisek, who has the ability to attack with the ball, will be in charge of the bench.

Compared with the depth of the lineup with several strong teams in the west, Guo Xu feels that the sun is no longer down, but it is not as scary as those famous stars teaming up.
