Legend of Tomorrow

The next day, the Phoenix local media reported on the party, which did not attract much attention nationwide.

Guo Xu felt it didn't matter, he was just interacting with local Chinese, and he didn't want to get high exposure on this matter. He did not want to be a high-cold idol, let people go to worship, so he chose to perform a talk show.

In 2003, the Suns challenged the 76ers on January 2.

He didn't practice the ball during the holidays, Guo Xu felt something wrong, this shot was terrible. He played 37 minutes, only 4 of 13 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 15 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists.

Fortunately, the teammates' offense was very reliable. Stardamer had 20 points and 11 rebounds, Marion had 24 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. Joe Johnson had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and the shooting rate of all three players exceeded 50%. .

The Suns won 101-78, making 11 consecutive victories and scoring 100 points.

Before Christmas, the Nuggets, Rockets and the 76ers reached a tripartite deal, swingman James Posey was sent to the Rockets, power forward Kenny Thomas was sent to the 76ers, Mark Bryant and Atlan Was traded to the Nuggets.

In addition, the Nuggets will also get a future first-round draft pick from the 76ers and a second-round draft pick from the Rockets.

Obviously, the Nuggets are ready to rebuild completely. Their goal this season is to squander, and strive to select a high-ranked rookie as the core in the summer of 2003, the recognized draft year.

Posey is the No. 2 scorer for the Nuggets, averaging 14 points per game and good defense. His joining will definitely improve the Rockets' strength and reinforce the weakest wing.

The 76ers got a short power forward with an offensive end with a mid-range shot and a defensive end that can prevent pick-and-roll and protect rebounds. They only sent a first-round draft pick and dug Thomas and made a lot of money. As for the two players sent away, no one in the 76ers will be distressed, that is, the Nuggets help clean up the garbage contract.

Thomas lived up to expectations and performed very well in every game. He played best this time, scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Unfortunately, the overall performance of the 76ers is not good, only 4 people scored in double figures.

Iverson was hard to get rid of Guo Xu's entanglement. After playing the pick-and-roll, Marion changed defense. He shot 4 of 17 shots, 1 of 3 3-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, 12 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

The 76ers were swept by the Suns in the regular season, and Philadelphia fans were a bit discouraged. After the trade, the 76ers still couldn't beat the Suns. Even if they were lucky to break through the Eastern Conference this year, they would not be able to win the championship.

On January 4, the Suns' winning streak was ended and they lost to the Lakers 100 to 109 at home.

The "ok combination" was ashamed and brave, and this performance was extremely brave, revenge for Christmas.

O'Neal made 15 of 19 shots, made 6 of 13 free throws, scored 36 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks. He finished Stoudemire and Nene. Both rookies were overturned by O'Neill in the penalty area, and then saw each other dunk.

Kobe Bryant made 13 of 29 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, 31 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Although his performance in the first half was average, he recovered his feeling in the second half and scored 10 points in the last quarter, including a key three-pointer.

The "Zen Master" Phil Jackson's platoon formation is also crucial. This time he only left O'Neill to guard the restricted area, reducing the playing time of Horry, Medvedenko, and Samaki Walker, allowing Fox, George, Ryan Bowen teamed up with the striker to ensure the speed of defense and reduce the efficiency of the Sun's attack.

Once you can't get rid of it, the Sun's running has become a wave shot. Young players are not very good at adjusting the play, and the shooting rate is generally not high. Guo Xu scored 32 points and 7 assists. The team's five people scored in double figures. No one except him scored more than 15 points.

D'Antoni exposed the shortcomings of poor on-the-spot strain. His tactics are like Cheng Bianjin's three-axe. Once defended, it depends on the players' free play. He lacks change on both ends of the attack and defense.

In addition, D'Antoni's tactical shots account for a large proportion, and Stoudemire and Nene's strong attack efficiency are not high. Once the players feel bad outside, bad things will happen, it is not easy to break the defense. In Guo Xu's previous life, D'Antoni did not correct this problem when he coached the Rockets.

This time Stoudemire was hit, and his passion could not rise. He made 4 of 11 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, scored 10 points and 10 rebounds and made 5 turnovers. He was taught to be a man by his idol.

Stoudemire's weaknesses also appeared, and his performance against the Lakers twice was not ideal. He is not afraid of maneuverability and general strength. He is good at disturbing shots, supplementing defense and assisting the all-around inside. He hates shrinking to defend near the penalty area, cuts the air and cuts the route. He does not change the defense center.

Because he ranked first in the rookie list and played well in consecutive games, Xiaosi was proud and felt that he would soon become a superstar. Now he was splashed with cold water. In the face of O'Neal, he could only pull out the shot. He couldn't hit the basket at all, and the CIC was still unstable. All his 10 points were scored when he fought back, and there was no way to fight in position.

D'Antoni taught Stoudemire to allow him to practice mid-range shooting. After the season, he also had to practice in the summer. At least three shots must be made with confidence. He couldn't let go of three points, so he practiced a point in the middle.

The next game against the Jazz, Stoudemire once again exposed the flaw, playing very poorly, only 13 points and 4 rebounds.

Old-school coach Jerry Sloan arranged defense and likes to keep a big man close to the penalty area and won't go out. After Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, it will not be so powerful when it hits the meat shield.

The weakness of this defensive approach is also very obvious. Once the Suns are all pulled out to play pick-and-rolls, the pressure on the guard's breakthrough and outside shooting is not enough.

Jazz center Ostertag was most afraid of a defender like Guo Xu. He was slower than O'Neill and could not defend. Guo Xu opened the three-point line and played 40 minutes. He made 12 of 21 shots, 5 of 10 3-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 35 points and 10 assists.

Marion also has a clear advantage in playing Karl Malone. He can get rid of the fast break by speed. He made 10 of 15 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 25 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

Even if the Suns did not play well, Joe Johnson made 2 of 8 shots and Kirisek made 1 of 6 shots. The Suns still won the game 103-99.

Jazz's inside and flanks do not suffer, UU reading www. The biggest weakness of uukanshu.com is position 1. The 41-year-old veteran Stockton is about to retire. He is not Guo Xu's opponent at all. He played 29 minutes, made 2 of 8 shots, made 1 of 3 3-pointers, and made 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists.

Guo Xu's college teammate Martin Cliffs didn't play, but he was reimbursed for a serious knee injury.

Some things are doomed. Cliffs, who is 188cm tall and weighs 95kg, has been unable to practice shooting. He relies too much on breakthroughs, and he must engage in vigorous physical confrontation, not using rapid changes to pass his opponent.

Cliffs' play style is very dominant in ncaa, he has no advantage in speed when entering nba, relying on strength to resist the rush to the basket, naturally it is easy to be injured, and the knee has to bear a lot of pressure. He finally broke in and challenged a group of elders inside.

To compensate for Cliffs' vacancy, the Jazz exchanged veteran point guard Mark Jackson.

Joining the Jazz is an important opportunity for Cliffs. He failed to seize the successor to Stockton. If he recovers badly after the injury, he must embark on the path of marginalized people and gradually fall to nothing. The ball is ready to play.
