At the post-game press conference, Joe Johnson, who became the focus of attention, still had a cold expression in the interview, but he changed his normal behavior and said a lot of things.

At this time, his teammates realized that this guy could also speak, but he didn't usually feel so much.

In Joe Johnson's view, being selected as an All-Star this season and playing a 50+10 game is already very successful, he has no ambition to become a superstar, and he is only one high-salary long-term contract away from fulfilling his life.

From an early age, his mother taught him not to talk to strangers, to stay away from all dangerous things, and not to be arrogant. Over time, his personality eventually became like this, he was always low-key and humble, not changed by the attitude of others, and even seemed a little cold and withdrawn.

He never yells, he doesn't dictate what people do, and in a sense, he lacks leadership qualities......

When asked how he got to where he got to where he is today, Joe Johnson thanked his mother in particular.

"My mother was a nurse in a psychiatric hospital, and one night a patient had an attack and she was slightly injured. I was so sad that I didn't want her to take risks anymore. But if she doesn't work, it's hard for the family to live. That's when I swore that I wouldn't let her get hurt any more, that I would become a professional footballer, make a lot of money, and get my mom out of that damn mental hospital! ”

Life is like climbing a mountain, the most important thing is to set a height for yourself first, if you only set your life goal halfway up the mountain, then you will never reach the top of the mountain.

According to statistics, 34% of black players in the NBA come from poor families, and Joe Johnson is one of them. It's a lot tougher for him to get into the NBA than the 66 percent of players who come from the middle or upper class.

Iverson, LeBron, Joe Johnson, these players from the bottom have achieved great success and become the top figures in the league, and the hard work, blood and tears, difficulties overcome and temptations to overcome are far better than those players with good family conditions and a starting line ahead of them, which is more worthy of admiration.

Joe Johnson's motivation is money, he has average talent, but he insists on training hard, and he stays in the gym to practice even on weekends when he is in school, and he firmly believes that if he persists, he will be able to get ahead.

Hard work pays off, as long as you are willing to work hard, there will be rewards in any industry, even if you are playing games, you can play better than others if you are addicted.

However, it will be difficult for Joe Johnson to stay with the Suns, he will want to go to a weak team as a core, this kind of team will definitely give more money, and when a big contract ends, he may also sign a second long-term contract with a high salary.

His mentality is not the same as in his previous life, because he already has a championship ring and has no regrets in his career.

Joe Johnson thanked his teammates and coaches, and most of all Guo Xu. "He's taught me a lot, he's a great leader, and whenever my teammates ask him for advice, whoever it is, he'll tell you the secret of his success, and we've all improved because of it."

He said this unintentionally, giving the sun a good advertisement.

Teammates and coaches also praised Joe Johnson, unanimously saying that he deserves the All-Star title.

In particular, Marion is most sure of this, the two often go head-to-head in the team, he is getting more and more difficult to defend, and the opponent is improving, but he relies on his body to play and eat his old book.

Marion breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that Joe Johnson wanted to go, this season, Xiaosi's tactical position in the team has surpassed him, and if Joe Johnson continues to play like this, he will be the fourth leader next year. People go to high places, water flows to low places, and no one can stand the decline of their status year by year.

Guo Xu said in an interview: "I have always been lucky, I joined the Lakers when I first entered the league, and then I joined the Suns, and every time I have a group of great teammates around me, so I have achieved amazing results." I know that a lot of fans like me because of this, and a lot of people compare me to Jordan, but I really can't do without the support of my teammates, and these results belong to everyone. ”

The reporter asked, "What do you think of Joe Johnson?" ”

"On the offensive end he can do anything, shooting, breaking, assisting. He can make the rest of his team-mates better, he always makes the right choices, and he doesn't attack when he's not going to be able to attack, he can create a triple threat on the pitch. He's definitely going to be an All-Star in the future. ”

"The Suns have a lot of good players and you have to share the ball, just look at the stats and people don't understand how good Joe is because he's one of the best swingmen in the league," D'Antoni said. ”

Now that Joe Johnson is being picked up, it is no longer possible for the Suns to renew his contract at a lower price in the summer.

Brian Colangelo is not offended, he thinks it is not worth it to re-sign Joe Johnson with a maximum salary, and the previous contract is a premium. Just looking at the stats and his role with the Suns, Joe Johnson is a role player.

When Guo Xu was about to help Joe Johnson brush the data, he said hello to Brian in advance, and the two were friends, so there was nothing that could not be said.

Brian thought about signing first and then exchanging, but Guo Xu refused, because if a team is willing to give Joe Johnson a maximum salary, the contract is too big, and there will definitely be a high-paid player on the other side as a bargaining chip, which will lock the Suns' future salary space.

Rebuilding teams are even less likely to use high picks or multiple draft picks as leverage. In this way, the sun might as well pick up Joe Johnson and gather and disperse. This is like when the Lakers treated Guo Xu, knowing that they couldn't keep him, but they wouldn't deliberately suppress his data.

The salary space left by the Suns could easily sign a mid-class swingman in the summer to replace the vacancy left by Joe Johnson. There is no shortage of swingmen in the free market, only insiders.

Even if you don't bring in reinforcements in the free market, the swing man of the sun is not weak.

Josh Howard has improved this season and can be a second point of attack with the ball; Bale is a 3-and-D player; Ariza is still guarding the water cooler, and he usually doesn't do bad in training, but he doesn't shoot well enough, so he doesn't play except for garbage time.

Guo Xu is a reborn, as long as he has the right to speak in the Suns, he can exchange for new stars with potential and suitable for the system through reinforcements or trades, and there are too many people who can pick up the leaks.

In addition, the Suns still have two draft picks in the summer of 2005, and it will not be too bad to draft two more rookies, and the quality of this rookie is also very high.

Joe Johnson's high score has other effects, and there are signs of resurgence in the "black cauldron" on the Internet after the game, and they finally caught some of Guo Xu's black spots, saying that he brushed data and assists, and was overrated.

The black cauldron has long believed that the Suns' good record is not Guo Xu's credit, but the team's lineup is too strong, a team of all-stars, and it is not much worse to change stars to lead the team. Now that Guo Xu is interviewed, he admits that his teammates are amazing, and he is really hammered.

Of course, this "truth" is not recognized by the public, and what the black cauldron gets on the Internet is contempt and ridicule. A group of "pot secrets" took Guo Xu's record before joining the Suns as an example, and Joe Johnson's previous data as an example, saying that Xiao Si, Nene , Howard and others were all selected rookies, which made it impossible to refute.

The more Guo Xu praises his teammates, the more he can ensure popularity, most people think that he is modest, even if he is a neutral fan, he also feels that this person is very sincere and will not take all the credit on himself.

Winning is the credit of the stars, and the kind of stars who take the blame from the losing teammates are the ones that people hate.

The good thing about the NBA's success-only theory is that the blacksters never want to have the upper hand until the Suns become a bad team and rebuild......
