Chapter 662 [You say he can't, you can do it! 】
After the game, a New Orleans reporter who disliked Guo Xu raised a controversial topic. He felt that Guo Xu did not work hard in defense and deliberately used data to bully the rookie.
As a Hornet fan, he was afraid that Guo Xu's playing style would affect Paul's mentality and thus affect his future development. Paul is now the Hornets' hope.
"As we all know, scoring high scores against strong teams can better reflect the ability of the stars. Most of your high score games this season have been obtained against weak teams. The data is a little worse when playing with strong teams. How do you explain this?"
Guo Xu smiled without thinking, "The tough life does not need explanation. Barkley often says that I use data to brush, and you are not the first person to see it. You are right. I really have better data when playing weak teams because their defense is poor. In order to play for a while, I like to be lazy in defense when playing weak teams. That's it. Do you have any problems?"
"Uh..." The white reporter was speechless, and Guo Xu admitted it very happily, and he didn't know how to answer the conversation.
The reporter next to him asked: "Are you not afraid of affecting the morale of the team and the harmony of the locker room when you do this?"
"My teammates have a good temper. They never thought of joining together to beat me up. You know, Meghan calls me 'Guo Bufang' at home." Guo Xu smiled and pointed to the two male reporters who asked. "Do you have any dissatisfaction with me? If you have any ideas, it's better to tell everyone to listen to it, but I'm afraid I can't meet your requirements."
The two local reporters were flushed and could not say anything. Some reporters from other media directly pointed the camera at them, thinking that this was big news.
What can they have? It's just that I hope Guo Xu won't admit to swiping data, and then list his data in the game and say that he is very hypocritical.
This is the usual routine of the media. Guo Xu saw it a lot when he was a fan in his previous life. He first made a collection of fake falls for James, and then asked James if he made a collection of fake falls. He first found a collection of videos of the Thunder teammates hiding rebounds, and then asked Westbrook if he made a collection of data for a triple-double.
Those two people have never refused to admit it, but Guo Xu is not that kind of hypocritical person. There are not many players in NBA history who are more real than him. I am very proud of it. Whatever you say.
After being silent for 10 seconds, Guo Xu smiled and said, "Please ask other people questions. It's so interesting. Their expressions seem to be bullied by me. It's obviously they are questioning me."
There was a burst of laughter in the venue, and these two colleagues were really a joke.
Recently, almost no reporters questioned Guo Xu at the press conference. The Suns have won 10 consecutive victories with the remnants of the formation. Guo Xu is still the most popular star, with countless fans as support. Now he is questioning him just to make him feel uncomfortable.
Excellent reporters are fence-between. Once Guo Xu's data declines and his record declines sharply, that is the time for them to take advantage of the situation. Both sports reporters and entertainment reporters are good at doing this, and many celebrities are driven crazy by them like this.
The following topic was induced to entertainment, and many people asked him how he was practicing singing.
Guo Xu said that he was under great pressure, there were too many competitions, the schedule was very tight, and there was little time to practice songs, so he could only take time to practice. But he would try his best to act well and would not mess up this matter. The crew had professional help, and Wilson was from Broadway, and he was familiar with all the processes. He could attract a lot of attention now.
Guo Xu also gave rookie point guard Chris Paul a high evaluation. "He is very promising and very promising. I am optimistic that he will become an All-Star in the future. All he needs is to accumulate experience. I believe that our duels will be more intense and more interesting in the future."
After the press conference, online fans started another heated discussion.
Some people questioned Guo Xu's professional attitude, and some Guomi thought he was so cool, and used his ultimate move, "You said he couldn't do it, you can do it!"
"Jason said that the scores are for the best, and others can do it even if they have the ability. Why can't they get it? Iverson, Kobe is the star with the closest data to him. He can't even make it into the playoffs, so those two are better off, right?"
"I would like to ask a question, which team is not a weak team compared to the Suns? The Suns have the highest record in the residual formation. When the two All-Stars come back, is it fair to Jason Guo to retire directly to other teams?"
"Jason's data for a strong team is usually compared with himself, and the best compared with others."
After reading the news, President David Stern was helpless.
He hopes that the competition in the NBA is more intense. He doesn't want to see a dominant player at all. Guo Xu can win with the Suns in the remnant formation. What competition will be next? I guess everyone is optimistic about the Suns winning the championship next season, and they do have the strength to win the championship. What should other teams do? They are collectively playing badly?
On December 14, the Suns defeated the Mavericks 113-97 away and won 11 consecutive games. Those who said that Guo Xu was shocked again.
Guo Xu didn't make many shots in this game, with a very high shooting percentage, 11 of 15 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 18 assists and 4 steals.
The person who shot the most was Josh Howard, who made 17 of 30 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws, and scored a career-high 42 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.
The Mavericks' wing defense is very weak, even weaker than Guo Xu's previous life, with one less Howard and one more Joey Graham. In this game, the Mavericks still had a disorganized lineup, and Starkhouse was absent due to injury.
Guo Xu launched a running and bomb counterattack and passed many goals to Howard. The advantage of "Ugly Brother" is very obvious. The success rate of single-handed fight against Graham and Daniels was very high. The second in command of the Mavericks in his previous life became their victim.
The bad guys can't criticize Guo Xu for playing solo, and he's scoring his data. Will the solo teammates in the third grade shoot 30 goals? As the No. 1 pick, Bogut hasn't made 20 shots in a single game in the Lakers. The 76ers' first round rookie Danny Granger is even worse, he's just defending the blue-collar team from the outside and can hardly receive the ball.
If Guo Xu is criticized again, unless Howard, who almost fell into the second round during the draft, is the Suns' "real thigh".
Howard expressed his gratitude to Guo Xu in the locker room. He had already shown that he wanted to play in a weak team and wanted to try to get more ball rights. He worked hard to win a big contract next season's contract year.
This is Howard's initiative asked by Guo Xu. Some words made it clear that everyone feels comfortable. Guo Xu promised to help Howard break out a few games at the right time, so that he can enter the vision of some teams. When the opponent's wing defense is strong, Howard will reduce his moves, focus most of his energy on the defensive end, and help the team win with all his strength.
Howard is self-aware and is satisfied if he can become the second scoring point of the Suns. He doesn't expect to compete with Guo Xu for the ball. He can't do it well if he really is the boss of the Suns. He can only score points, but his ability to break through and pass the ball is far worse than that of Guo Xu.
Howard will definitely be traded after the end of this season. The management will discuss it after the end of the season. Now the Suns cannot live without Howard, and he needs to help Guo Xu share the pressure on the offensive end.
On the 16th, the Suns defeated the Hornets again at home 111 to 88, and won again by playing, which was the longest 12 consecutive wins in the season.
The Hornets have many weaknesses. Not only are the lineup poor inside, but they are only a three-point shooting point like JR Smith on the outside. Coach Scott is unwilling to give JR playing time, so the two have a conflict.
JR is often scolded by Scott, who does not perform tactics when playing basketball, does not cooperate with training, does not actively, and is not deliberate in life. This is not unfair to him. He is a man who spends all day in nightclubs, and his tattoo is engraved with "inlovewithmymoney".
