Chapter 279 [The King of Cakes! Soaring! 】

On the 17th, the Suns played against the Hawks away.

The two teams launched a fierce attack, and scored a high score of 132 to 115 in regular time, and the Suns won three consecutive victories.

The Hawks' tactics are mainly fast attacks, with positional battles No. 1234 as a single player, and whoever has the chance will make a shot. In terms of player personal abilities, the Hawks are obviously inferior, and all four core players are mainly jumpers.

Anfini Hardaway is the worst performance in the Hawks on the offensive end. He has increased his shots against his old club, making 5 of 16 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 12 points and 4 assists.

Michael Jordan once said: "If I had to choose a successor, then Hardaway would be my first choice!"

It was this sentence that made Hardaway lose himself. Not long after he entered the league, he was so arrogant and not very friendly to fans. The young Kobe once asked him for an autograph and was ignored. This incident inspired Kobe later.

After the game, Hardaway expressed his dissatisfaction with his teammates' defense in the face of the media, but no one listened to him complaining. Now he is not even a spiritual leader in the Hawks, he is just a high-paid and low-energy role player.

Hardaway has applied for a deal to the management, believing that the Hawks have no future. The Hawks management also believes that he has no future, his strength has declined, and his popularity has declined... But his big contract is too tricky. It only expired in 2006, and no team is willing to take over. If the Suns had not exchanged the garbage contract of Kukochi and Chris Crawford, the Hawks would not have traded.

Due to the extremely weak inside defense of the Hawks, Stadameier was so full of food in this game. He scored a career-high of 40 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Guo Xu scored 25 points and 20 assists, almost 30+20. He didn't make much move, mainly assists, breaking through and attracting defense to pass the ball to his teammates. Six players in the team scored in double digits.

Many Chinese fans in their previous life disliked Sir and thought that he had snatched the best rookie who should have belonged to Yao Ming. Guo Xu originally thought so. After the Suns became a partner, he found that Sir was better at fighting power than Yao Ming, and his rookie season was simply delayed by Frank Johnson.

Xiao Si has the best physical fitness. He is a real beast. When he was in the sixth grade, he could already dunk backhand. At the end of high school, he was 208cm tall and weighed 108kg. In the 2002 McDonald's All-Star Game, he stood out like an adult standing among a group of kids. So he decided not to go to college and directly participated in the NBA draft.

During the draft, his skills were relatively rough, but the vertical bounce of up to 105cm was enviable. Many people suspected that he was not a real high school student. He was indeed two years older than other high school students. Because of his rough school experience, he had changed to 6 schools.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Si plays with his body and has the ability to average 20+ games in the rookie season. As long as he plays more pick-and-rolls and passes to him, he will let everyone understand what the "Pie King" is!

Sir S scored 20+ in the second season of his previous life. After Frank was driven away by the team in the middle, D'Antoni took over and liberated Sir S's attack power. The Suns did not enter the playoffs because of injury factors. Marbury and Hardaway only played 34 games.

In the 2004-05 season, Nash passed the ball around Xiao Si and ushered in a big explosion. He averaged 26 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.6 blocks per game, and made a large number of dunks in each game.

Before minimally invasive surgery, Xiao Si mainly scored empty-cut points and mid-range shots as the supplement. After one season of reimbursement, Xiao Si worked hard to practice mid-range shots, and the proportion of shooting in the offense increased, and he was still outstanding.

Now Xiao Si exploded early because Guo Xu's personal ability is stronger than Nash, and the two of them are not the same type.

Nash's breakthrough mainly relies on pick-and-roll to create misalignment. He rarely beat the opponent's No. 1 position to attract double-teams, which is a reasonable way of playing.

Guo Xu is different. If the opponent does not send a defensive expert to defend him, he can beat the opponent's point guard if he fights one-on-one. There must be two defensive experts on the opponent, one inside and one outside, otherwise Guo Xu will be more sharp after playing pick-and-roll.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Suns could not win the championship. One reason was that their defense was too poor, and the other was that Nash's ability to fight alone was average.

As the core of the team, Nash only averaged more than 15 shots in his playoffs in his career. That time, he averaged 40.7 minutes per game and only 17.9 shots, which is still not much. The Suns lacked the ability to hold the ball and attack at critical moments, so it is not difficult to understand why the boss has always regretted letting Joe Johnson go.

After entering the playoffs, sometimes stars cannot pursue reasonableness too much and get tough ones. This is why Kobe and James often perform better in the playoffs. They usually like to be tough and develop habits.

Guo Xu is also of this type. If you don’t double-team, I will throw you to death. If you don’t double-team, I will pass it. Watch your teammates dunk. When he counterattacks, he is the most terrifying. He is fast and easily misaligns the position. Once he attracts the rest of the defense, he will throw the ball into the sky and get a teammate to catch it.

On the 18th, the Suns challenged the Clippers back-to-back away game.

The schedule is very tight, and Guo Xu can only take the time to have a meal with Meghan, Austin, cousin Guo Dasen and others at noon. It is impossible for the two to eat alone and they don’t seem very close to others.

It was easy to win this game. Brand and Odom were absent due to injury. Andre Miller, the Clippers, played with a group of substitutes. The gap between the two teams was too big.

The Suns won 37 points in the game at 113 to 76. This was not played in the final quarter, otherwise it would be no difficulty to win more than 50 points.

Guo Xu only played for 30 minutes, made 8 of 12 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 23 points and 12 assists. Under his leadership, the team's six players scored in double digits.

When defeating the King, Guo Xu's mocking of Frank Johnson caused quite a lot of controversy. Many people said that he did this too much and took advantage of the situation. He was a petty player.

Now Guo Xu uses his actions to shut up everyone. Since Frank was dismissed, the Suns beat their opponents. Guo Xu assisted in four consecutive games, 20+ in two games, and the assist data soared to 8.4. It seems that it is only a matter of time before Kidd, who has caught up with 9.1 assists, becomes the king of assists.

The data of other Suns players is growing fiercely, and Sir has become the biggest beneficiary, ranking first in the rookie list with 14 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. He has only one-third of the season, and he still has a lot of room for improvement.

Nene averaged 10.5 points and 6 rebounds per game and will continue to improve, and he should be able to enter the All-Rookie Team.

Suns fans online are criticizing Frank, saying that he owes Guo Xu a regular season MVP. If the Suns are so strong at the start of the game, the regular season record will definitely not be bad, and Guo Xu's personal data will be more beautiful. At that time, he will have a very high chance of getting MVP.

Lakers fans began to criticize Lakers management and Old Buss. The Lakers lost to the Timberwolves away on the same day, with a record of 10 wins and 16 losses. O'Neal's comeback stopped his losing streak, but it was still incomparable to last season.

This year, the Lakers averaged less than 100 points per game. The game was ugly, and Lakers fans who had higher vision could not stand it.

Some people online have long said that the Lakers should have traded Kobe and left Guo Xu behind. More and more people support this argument.

Guo Xu led a group of new players to play in the Suns, and his record was better than that of the Lakers. With this current situation, it is difficult for the Lakers to surpass the Suns in the regular season. Guo Xu beat his old club in the face too hard.
