Legend of Tomorrow

In the NBA, it is a tradition for every team to have at least three outstanding players to take core photos together. But the Sun's Gugliota is obviously a piece of cake. Last season he only played 44 games, scoring 6.5 points, 5 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

Around this point, a reporter interviewed coach Frank Johnson and asked him what he thinks about the depth of the Suns' lineup.

Frank replied: "Tom's injury is healed. He has been training well in the summer. I believe he will have an excellent performance in the new season and become a qualified inside core."

If it ’s just that, okay, if Frank is to let Gugliotta play in the regular season in order to prove that he is not blind, it will be troublesome. Tom was also qualified for the CIC last season, and other times he was all slow shots Mobility can only play center.

The reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate the summer signing. He thought he would complain, but unexpectedly Guo Xu gave a satisfactory answer.

"I am very satisfied with the team's lineup, young players are aggressive, and veterans are experienced. We can complement each other. After the transaction, I am more certain that the Suns can make the playoffs."

The reporter said: "But the outside world has commented that the Sun lineup is very poor. Are you afraid that the performance of your teammates does not meet expectations?"

Guo Xu smiled and said, "Then I will take on more responsibilities and help them perform to the expected level. I have confidence in them and have more confidence in myself. I believe that I am the best point guard in the entire league. one."

Journalists like to listen to such words, which can easily lead to heated discussions and make big news.

Someone immediately asked: "The Nets Kidd led the team to the finals last year and is preparing to hit the championship this year. Do you think you are better than him?"

"Yes, that's how I think. It doesn't matter if other people don't admit it."

The reporter asked: "Which teams do you think are the main competitors in the West?"

"The Lakers, Kings, Spurs, Mavericks, these four teams are very powerful. We need to use talent to make up for the lack of experience, and strive to beat them with physical quality."

The reporter asked: "What about the east?"

"I'm optimistic about the Nets and the Pistons in the East. Kidd's organization is very strong, the Pistons' lineup is outstanding, and the strength of these two teams is outstanding in the East."

The reporter asked: "Aren't you optimistic about the 76ers? In the summer, they introduced Van Horn, added excellent offensive players, and many experienced players who participated in the finals."

Guo Xu replied: "Not optimistic, I think the Nets are much stronger than the 76ers, the reason is that the Nets have Kidd."

Guo Xu's remarks are easy to offend people, but his coming to the rebuilding sun needs some topical attention. What he said is also true. Although Kidd's personal scoring ability is a bit poor, he has the top organizational offensive ability and is good at controlling the rhythm. He will also lead the team to the finals.

In the previous season, the 2003-04 season, the Pistons defeated the Nets to advance to the finals. One was because the trade came to Rashid Wallace. The lineup was amazing. Second, Kidd was affected by a knee injury and performed poorly.

After 2004, Kidd had a minimally invasive surgery on his knee. Since then, it has become slower and slower. With the help of the ball dealer and experience, he still played for many seasons and helped the Mavericks win the championship in 2011. Now Kidd still has At its peak.

Martin and Jefferson ’s bodies are also at their peak. Martin went to the blue collar after minimally invasive surgery after a knee injury to the Nuggets. The Nets now have both a core and a terrifying talent.

Guo Xu is confident in the Suns because the Suns lineup configuration is very similar to the Nets. Although the players are young, but the body is superman level, as long as he connects the offense well, the team will explode with amazing energy.

He boldly said these ideas, the sun will get more attention, no matter whether it can play well, first speculate and talk about it.

The reporter asked: "If you meet the Lakers in the playoffs this year, do you think you can win?"

Guo Xu smiled and said: "I don't know, but I hope to win. I can't lose on purpose in order not to play against the Lakers? If we meet in the Western Conference finals, it proves that we are the strongest Big Three in history!"

The reporters at the venue applauded together, as the team leader should have this kind of courage, even if he is only 21 years old.

The reporter asked: "Many people think that the Sun's defense is not good enough, it is difficult to win the new season, what do you think?"

"I said that offense is the best defense. If we can beat our opponents with offense, the defense is almost okay. I always think that winning offense is the king. We have already proven this when the Lakers played."

The flashing lights flashed, and the reporters applauded together. They all knew how much President David Stern hated the idea of ​​winning a defense defense. Such a game has no ratings at all.

Head coach Frank Johnson was a little embarrassed. Last season he repeatedly emphasized that the sun should be defensive and win defensively. It is suspected that Marbury and Marion are advancing too fast and they are required to take a half position. As a result, the two Ma family didn't listen to him, and they had a quick break if they had a chance. He always felt that it was the cause of the loss.

Manager Brian asked his father Jerry: "Do you think he can really lead the Suns to win the championship? That's something Westphal and Barkley haven't done."

Jerry shook his head and smiled: "I admit that he is very popular, but he still has to speak on the strength of the court. He used to be too smooth with the Lakers, and it was too simple to think about winning. After all, he is a young man."

The implication is that Jerry is not optimistic about the sun winning the championship. Every year the team signs a contract to reinforce or select a rookie, he dreams that the team will play well next season, but each time ends in disappointment.

Kidd only allowed the Suns to enter the second round, and Guo Xu was able to bring the Suns into the Western Conference finals.

Brian is also not optimistic that the Sun won the championship in Guo Xu's 6-year contract, how is it possible with a group of newcomers? Moreover, the newcomer recommended by Guo Xu was fatter than O'Neill. He wanted to get rid of Haslem and looked unsightly.

The other players lauded Guo Xu in an interview and wanted to impress him in this way.

Stardamer expressed the most direct determination. He is a person of true nature. He dares to say something and dare to fire when he is angry. He can PK fire extinguishers when he is angry The partner's point guard, when I heard that he joined the Sun, I was happy and broke. He thinks he is stronger than Iverson and Marbury. If he shoots more, he will definitely score a lot, but he is willing to cooperate with his teammates We will definitely cooperate well. "

Marion said: "When I was at the World Championships, I deeply realized the importance of a good point guard at the team. I'm very happy that Jason joined. I can't wait to start the new season. He is not only selfless, he has a strong scoring ability. I also have confidence to make the playoffs. "

Veteran Kukoc gave Guo Xu a high rating. "I experienced the 67-point game with the Hawks. I still remember it so far. He is terrible. Glad I can be a teammate with him. I am ready to watch him perform on the court and receive him. 'S pass shot. "

Another veteran of the Bulls, Randy Brown, also mentioned the past experience with Guo Xu, bluntly saying that they have a huge gap.

"I think his scoring explosiveness can be compared with Michael Jordan, but he didn't have as many mobile phone meetings as the Lakers. I played against him in the Celtics and it felt like a nightmare."

On the first day of the report, Guo Xu's position in the team was fully established.
