Chapter 581 [How to play? Die before leaving the apprenticeship]
Almost all experts believe that the Suns are about to finish the new season, and the words are surprisingly consistent, which is actually the wish of league officials.
The Suns were the public enemy of the league last season. All teams were very serious against them, but they couldn't beat them. Now the Suns are in trouble, and all teams are ready to beat the dogs in the water, so that they can't afford to take advantage of them.
The media has spared no effort to praise Stadameer, which has been praised since the summer, but now Sir is completely unhappy. Even if he has really had the strength of a "superstar", he is now a person who needs minimally invasive surgery.
After being admitted to the hospital, Xiao Si repeatedly asked the team doctor if Thomas Carter could not have minimally invasive surgery. Carter always said he had to do it, which made him want to cry.
After the operation on October 3, Carter said that he was very successful. Xiao Si was still not happy and asked again: "When will I come back? Will I still have the previous athletic ability after my comeback?"
"I can guarantee that your athletic ability will not decrease much, but the premise is that you must cultivate for a long time. Many players go on the game because they have not fully recovered their injuries, resulting in repeated injuries." Carter paused and smiled bitterly: "So, I suggest you stop playing this season and wait until you come back next season, otherwise it may affect your entire career."
Xiao Si sighed, looking bitter and revengeful. "This won't work. If I don't make a comeback, what should I do if the team can't win the championship this year?"
The meaning of the team winning three consecutive championships is completely different from the three separate championships. Xiao Si has a strong desire to win. He is afraid that he will miss this opportunity. What if he cannot win again in the future? In that way, he will regret it for life.
Carter said seriously: "I have the final say whether you can play or not. It depends on your recovery. If you have played 15 seasons in your career and have a lot of time to win three consecutive championships, but if you come back early and get worse, you may not be able to play for even 10 seasons. This is easy to settle?"
“…”
On that day, Guo Xu called Xiao Si and the two chatted for 20 minutes. Guo Xu suggested that he follow Carter's arrangements.
Because Guo Xu remembers that after Xiao Si came back in his previous life, he only played three games before resting again, which was not helpful to the team and did not benefit him at all.
He also knew that even if Sir was injured, the strength of the Suns' 13 players was not weak, and he was still confident that he would lead the team to win.
Josh Howard played better and better on the outside. Bale is a 3D player, and there are obvious improvements in substitutes Ariza and Eddie Jones. They will make up for the vacancy of Joe Johnson leaving.
The Suns have no shortage of people in the interior. Nene can play and take on the task of Sir. Valaijo is a substitute and has excellent defense as a substitute, and rookie David Lee can also play and be a substitute in the 3 and 4 positions.
If the Suns had not chosen David Li, Guo Xu would not have such strong confidence, and his potential was very great.
Of course, David Li Yuan, who was in a rookie season, could not be called a star, otherwise he would not have fallen to the end of the first round. His performance was not outstanding in college. Although he had been studying for four years, his average number was only 11.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, making him a second-rate insider with poor defense.
But David Lee has two advantages: one is that he has stable central shots and fast movements, giving him more shooting rights to score; the other is... he is very handsome.
In the open training class, David Lee performed very well on the offensive end. He can jump shots and dunks after pick-and-roll. He has already had some female fans in Phoenix City. His arrival has significantly improved the overall appearance of the Suns.
On the defensive end, David Lee did a very poor job in defending the pick-and-roll, and his defensive awareness was extremely bad. He often missed people and didn't know how to change defenses. As for the supplementary defense, he wouldn't think about assisting defense, and he had to practice slowly.
Fortunately, he is similar to Boozer, with a strong strength, can resist people near several penalty areas, and is good at blocking positions and fighting for rebounds. The Suns have Haslem, Valejo is responsible for defending pick-and-rolls, and David Lee is enough to concentrate on rebounds, and his rebounding ability is better than S.
Guo Xu was mentally prepared for Xiao Si's injury. It would be best if he could prevent it. He was not afraid of it. So he was not depressed at all. He still smiled in the team. He even thought that Xiao Si's injury was also beneficial. If the Suns won the championship this season, he would make him even more powerful.
Guo Xu, as the core, maintained a good attitude, and his teammates felt much more at ease.
However, blessings come unparalleled, and misfortunes never come alone. What happened a week later made the Suns and fans a little unacceptable.
In the second game of the preseason, in the Suns' match against the Spurs, Nene cut collided with Duncan, resulting in a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the right knee, a torn middle ligament, and a torn meniscus, and a season reimbursement.
As soon as the result came out, the boss Brian collapsed and shook his head several times when he announced to the public.
This year, the time for team doctor Carter to show off his skills. Not long after he had Xiao Si's surgery, he sent another one. Now he has become the person with the strongest presence in the Suns.
The media was in an uproar, and the Sun's inside double towers were reimbursed one after another, and they seemed to be done.
How do you play the Suns next? Do you rely on blue-collar workers and rookies in the interior? Kukochi, the veteran who is best at shooting, is already a fringe player in the first two seasons.
The Suns have not received any major injury for three consecutive seasons, and are one of the teams with the least number of injuries in the league. This season they finally lost their luck.
The injury to the Sun's Double Tower seems to be accidental, but it is actually inevitable. Xiao Si's overwork and illness is related to his style of play, while Nene's serious injury is related to his mentality.
After entering the league, Nene played very excitedly every time he faced Duncan. His figure was suitable for defense. The media often praised him for his better defense than Sir, which made him feel very accomplished.
Nene can not only withstand Duncan, but also interfere with shooting. He also performed on the offensive end in the series between the Suns vs. The Spurs received high praise last season.
Nene was even more excited when playing against the Spurs this time in the preseason. Si was reimbursed for injury. He is recognized as the biggest beneficiary. He will become a new season, and it just so happens that he is in his contract year again.
If he plays beautiful data, he can sign a high salary and long contract. If he can average 20+ per game, he should be able to get a maximum salary. There will be teams who believe that he had no good data before.
After discussing with the agent, Nene was ready to make a full effort. He played actively in the preseason, and was very brave on both offense and defense, just like Xiao Si.
As a result, he died before he could succeed...
After knowing his injury, a 7-foot man in Nene cried in the hospital. When Guo Xu and others went to visit the hospital, he said over and over again, "I'm sorry to everyone."
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 Nene is missing again, and everyone says that the Suns are finished. In 2004, the Suns eliminated the Timberwolves, and the performance of the two towers is very critical. Now only the blue-collar workers are left in the interior, and the offense is entirely dependent on Guo Xu and Marion.
After the Suns coaching team held a meeting to study, D'Antoni suggested that Guo Xu reduce his shots in the preseason, and work with his teammates more, help David Lee find his offensive feeling as soon as possible and integrate into the team so that they can still play in the new season.
Guo Xu did as he did. The Suns' main tactics were the match between David Lee and the position in the preseason.
If David Lee plays at the right level, he is trying to help him grow. He has just entered the NBA and immediately has to take on a lot of responsibilities. The pressure must be very high, and he may hit the rookie wall. Rookies are more difficult to play on the defensive end, and they are easily targeted by referees. If they are a little bigger, they will be called fouls.
However, people were surprised to find that the Suns' preseason offense was still very strong, and the attack power did not seem to have dropped much compared to the previous single season.
