Chapter 812 [Unfortunate Nash, amazing gimmick]

If the Suns play seriously, their main attack strategy is very simple, that is, Guo Xu plays the ball with one shot, and he will play one shot whoever comes to defend himself. No Hawks outside players can defend him.

Nash and Guo Xu's matchup were a bit shadowy, and there was no way to do it. Even if he was not over, Guo Xu could throw the ball in with the interference. You even knew what he would do, but you couldn't defend it.

The only thing that made Nash feel relieved was that Guo Xu didn't say trash talk and was very quiet on the court. If he was like Larry Bird, it would probably be like "I'll shoot three points here later"...

After attracting double-teams, Guo Xu will pass the ball quickly. This year he likes to use back passes, and his teammates have a high shooting rate when receiving the ball. When Bale and Parker are on the court, the Suns can't double-team at all. There are three people on the court who have a shooting rate of more than 40%.

The Hawks' offense was restricted. Once Guo Xu focused on defense and tried his best to chase and defend, Nash could only rely on cover to get rid of him, and he could not break through one on one.

Guo Xu's speed was too fast. Nash relied on cover to get rid of the emergency stop jump shot and took him an attack. The physical gap between the core of the two teams was very obvious. Nash only has one ability that can be compared with Guo Xu, that is, his passing awareness, but his breakthrough is not as good as Guo Xu, and his average assists per game is not as good as Guo Xu.

The unlucky Nash not only did not win the regular season MVP due to the butterfly effect, but also only once won the assist king.

Josh Smith, the second leader of the Hawks, was also greatly reduced by Haslem's defense efficiency and continued to make irons.

Smith is a person who must have a fast break to exert his power, and his positional battles are completely different. His mid-range shooting percentage is less than 30%, his close-range two-pointer 32%, and his basket shooting percentage is 66.3%. After studying the statistics, you will know how to prevent him.

To put it bluntly, except for shooting in the penalty area, Smith's shooting in other positions was not up to standard. He has been practicing for three years and has not yet mastered his shooting. If he had a soft touch, he would not have fallen out of the lottery zone with his terrifying physical fitness.

The Hawks must also use a high salary and long appointment to keep Smith in the summer because his defensive role is very critical. He has super mobile and good at preventing pick-and-rolls. He can help Nash make up for leaks. If he didn't have him, the Hawks would have to fight for attack.

The Hawks sent the strongest attacking lineup in the last quarter to fight for a reversal, but Guo Xu passed the ball to Roy again and again. He beat Crawford to gain the upper hand, and the score difference could not be narrowed.

After Guo Xu hit Nash twice in a row during the counterattack, the score difference between the two sides was as large as 28 points, and it entered garbage time.

Nash's expression was helpless when he was replaced. He is 34 years old this year and Guo Xu is only 26 years old. He suspects that he will not be able to beat Guo Xu's team in the playoffs in his life. This kind of crushing throughout his career makes people extremely discouraged.

Guo Xu scored 25 points and 17 assists, leading the team's six players to score in double digits, and easily won the game.

At the press conference, Nash and Guo Xu praised each other. It was not like sympathizing with each other. Nash frowned throughout the whole process, looking like "Why did you give birth to Yu?"

Guo Xu said: "He is a good opponent, a super point guard. His physical fitness is relatively ordinary and his performance is surprising. In fact, I compare myself with him to the body."

This kind of praise will not make Nash happy. He cannot improve his physical fitness. This is a hurtful truth.

The Hawks chose Spanish star swingman Rudy Fernandez this year. He has a contract to join the NBA next season. Nash can only hope that this new teammate will be excellent next season and will be able to fight. Murphy's deal is not very helpful to the Hawks, and they are easily targeted on the defensive end. Pachuria strengthens his defense and will have a worse off offense.

In fact, if Nash stays with the Hawks for a long time, he can only consider winning the championship with his legs when he gets old. The Hawks are a team that is not paid attention to by fans, and no big-name stars are willing to join.

If Nash is willing to reduce his salary in the future, Guo Xu will definitely welcome him, but like in his previous life, he signed 24 million for 3 years at the age of 38, and they will have no chance of cooperation in their entire life.

Guo Xu also praised his teammate Roy. He averaged 29.5 minutes per game, scored 16.1 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and had a shooting percentage of 48%. His scoring efficiency was higher than his previous life, but his playing time was controlled.

The reporter asked: "Which point guard in the league do you think is the most likely to challenge your position?"

Guo Xu said: "I am very optimistic about Chris Paul now. He combines a good combination of breakthrough points and a very active defense. The Hornets' lineup is not good. No. 1 pick Oden is reimbursed for the season. He has already performed very well to bring the Hornets into the playoffs."

The Suns' opponent next game is the Hornets. Paul is the new point guard star promoted by the league. Guo Xu praised a few words of courtesy before the army.

The Hornets are currently ranked seventh in the Western Conference, with Paul and Rashad Lewis, Tyson Chandler and Stoyakovic running-in successfully. Two big shot forwards who can shoot are pulled apart, and Paul and Chandler play pick-and-roll.

The Hornets' substitute strength has also improved compared to last season, including Bobby Jackson, Bunch Wells, Rassu Butler, Steve Novak, Lorenzen White, Janero Pago and others. Even the Hornets' marginal people are the famous Tyrone Lu, the man who replaced Guo Xu alone back then.

As a result, the Hornets really broke out two days later, defeating the Suns 105-100 away game. Paul scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, performing well.

Paul kept close to him while defending Guo Xu, and his teammates would also help him interfere with his shooting. Guo Xu only scored 24 points, 10 assists and 2 steals in the game, and his shooting percentage was 45%. For him, this was considered to be defensive.

The two forwards jointly made 10 three-pointers, but the key to the Hornets' winning was blue-collar center Chandler. Under his defense, although Sir scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, he only made 6 of 15 shots and made 6 of 8 free throws, with a shooting percentage of 40%.

This season, Chandler averaged 11.5 points and 11.7 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 62.6%. He is good at pick-and-roll and dunks when he has the chance. He is not just a blue-collar worker, but also has some tactical effects on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, Chandler can support a defensive system. He has strong mobility and a large defense range. He can not only protect the penalty area, but also save to help his teammates interfere with shooting. He averages only 1.1 shots per game, but in fact, this is exactly what he is outstanding. He does not pursue defensive data, does not jump around, and relies on his height and wingspan to interfere with shooting.

Before the All-Star Weekend in February, the Suns lost only this game.

Guo Xu has recently started to make frequent entertainment headlines. "Chloe" is about to be released, and the trailers released are relatively erotic, which has attracted countless discussions from fans. At the beginning of the month, Guo Xu released his new single "everythingineed" and mv to promote the movie.

This song became popular as soon as it was released because the MV content was a seaside wedding, but the heroine was not Megan Fox, but Alexandra Dadario.

Guo Xu sang this love song affectionately while playing the piano by the beach. The lyrics were a bit explicit and the gimmick was amazing. Many fans on the Internet were discussing the relationship between the three of them.

Moreover, "Chloe" was released on Friday, February 14, during the All-Star Weekend, Guo Xu applied to the league to hold a movie premiere in New Orleans, but was allowed by the president.

This is a gimmick that has never been seen in NBA history. Guo Xu had asked fans to watch musicals together in Houston. Why can't fans go to watch movies together this time?

If the league does not agree and holds its premiere in Los Angeles as usual, Guo Xu will have to ask for leave.
