Legend of Tomorrow

Compared with other teams, the Sun's reinforcement is like throwing a small stone into the sea, and even a small splash can't splash.

They just signed Raja Bell in the free market, bought Diop from the Cavaliers trade, and replaced second-round rookie point guard Steve Blake with Scott Williams.

At this time, the sun has gathered a new lineup of 15 people.

Centers: Nene, Diop, and Stadamer.

Power forwards: Gugliotta, Kukoc, Haslem, Chris Crawford.

Small forwards: Marion, James Jones, Kirisek.

Shooting guards: Joe Johnson, Raja Bell, Josh Howard.

Point guards: Guo Xu, Steve Blake.

No media or basketball experts are optimistic about the Suns winning the new season, and most people predict that the Lakers will reach the top again.

ESPN expert Nicholas said: "If the Suns want to win the championship, it is better to trade a rookie who played last season, pack the role players in the team, and exchange for a peak player or veteran who has the strength to start, otherwise they are likely Like last year, the regular season relies on talent to perform well, and the playoffs end with hatred. "

On the Internet, fans have also left messages, saying that they are not optimistic about the Suns' championship and that their lineup and last season have not changed much, and defense will definitely not work.

Manager Brian was unsure, and he called Guo Xu to discuss whether to conduct a major transaction.

"Jason, do we want to trade a strong veteran? The Nuggets manager called and asked if I would like to sign first and then change. They are willing to renew Zhu Wan-Howard with a five-year middle-class contract and then trade inside. Plus Chris Crawford. "

Guo Xu rolled his eyes and turned his head to blow a sigh of relief. He said to the phone, "How can there be any strength in Howard? He is obviously a data brush and a defensive colander. It is justified by CIC. He is not as good as Haslem. Are you kidding me? "

Just looking at the data, Howard is indeed very good. Last season, the Nuggets averaged 18.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3 assists, and career technical statistics also reached 17.9 points and 7.5 rebounds.

However, the Nuggets only won 17 games last season. Howard averaged 35.5 minutes per game and shot 16.6 shots. His shooting percentage was only 45%. This product must be punished by the middle class. Under the same effect, Howard's defense is not as good as Horry, who is much cheaper than him.

"Then do you have any second-rate star candidates? We are the newcomers like last season. How do we compete with the Lakers, Timberwolves, Mavericks and Kings?"

Guo Xuzheng said: "If you don't trade, just play like this. With Nestorovic able to sign the full amount of middle class, how can we trade to get an excellent inside star? Many people are not famous and have no strength, it is better Exercise more newcomers in the regular season. Do n’t do anything to buy out Crawford ’s free space and sign for a free man. Keep him. "

Guo Xu has studied the lineup of each team in detail before. The only inside star who may be traded is Rashid Wallace. The salary is too high. The Sun wants to trade. Unless Marion is sent away, the other high-paid player Blazers cannot be seen. .

He also considered forward striker Gerald Wallace from the Kings deal. It seems to be a pick-up. It doesn't cost much, and it can be replaced by a single Kirisic.

Actually, otherwise, Gerrard is very brave and has superb physical fitness, but his shooting is not good enough for long-term training, and he is good at playing and playing and Marion completely overlaps. The Suns have too many swingers in positions 3 and 4. In return, he is in the same situation as the Kings and cannot be trained.

D'Antoni is not a coach who likes to play the game with a 12-person rotation. It is estimated that Gerrard will be given 5 minutes of playing time.

In Guo Xu's view, the Suns will encounter "beautiful troubles" in the new season, and several talented players have to play soy sauce.

He is full of confidence in the Suns' lineup, and believes that as long as the run-in is good, next season will be "people stop killing, Buddha stop killing Buddha"!

Last season, the Suns had flaws in both inside and outside defense, poor inside guards, and average rebounding ability. Outside Guo Xu couldn't change the defense when he encountered a pick-and-roll and interfered with poor shooting. Joe Johnson and Kirisek were easy to pass, and the speed was also general.

Different in the new season, Marion, Haslem, Bell and Howard can prevent pick-and-roll and **** Guo Xu. With Stoudemire and Inner Defense on the fast inside, and Diop on the inside who is good at attacking the restricted area, there is no obvious flaw on the defensive end of the Sun. Guo Xu can put more energy on the offensive end.

With Guo Xu and Stoudemire, the Sun can guarantee offensive firepower without the need for more blooming, and strengthening defense is the most critical. Although young players are still not as experienced as the veteran team, the Suns' lineup can already deal with various tactics.

After several new aids joined, Guo Xu, who made a movie in Los Angeles, did not welcome the press conference, but he asked for a mobile phone number and called everyone to talk for a while.

He suggested that Stoudemire, Nene, Haslem and Diop should train together in the summer, both in shooting and singles. Four people with different styles get together for training, with less effort.

As long as Stoudemire made progress like his previous life, and practiced the CIC in the summer, only looking at the depth of the inside lineup, the Sun was firmly ranked in the top ten or even the top five in the league. Most teams lack the inside star and are experienced. The inside level that has already reached the level is even more difficult to meet. The Sun is very lucky.

Guo Xu also told Bell: "I asked the manager to sign you. Your defense in the playoffs impressed me a lot. I'm optimistic about your potential. In the summer, you take time to practice three-point shooting. As long as the shooting strengthens, the new season I will suggest that you start. "

Bell was flattered and promised immediately: "I will definitely make a three-pointer. You can rest assured that I can help the team."

"Well, don't practice in Phoenix, the weather can kill you, just find a place, we will see you in September." Guo Xu smiled.

As for Howard, Jones and Blake, Guo Xu encouraged them to work hard and learn from their teammates. They will definitely not have too many opportunities for performance in the first year. They have to start from the marginalized, and there are too many rotations.

Even Howard, a superman of this quality, can only be a marginal man. How strong is the Sun? How could the new season not be the championship team? They are not optimistic, but the players are not famous, just like the top spot Milicic as a marginal piston.

Guo Xu and Brian chatted for ten minutes ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ explained his views in detail to him, let him rest assured to watch the team's new season performance, do not consider the matter of trading.

Bryan was much happier and asked, "How do you think we will win the championship next season?"

"I can't predict this, and it's certainly difficult to have a chance. In short, I think the current lineup is already in the most ideal state. The players are very reasonable in collocation and the style is complementary. I dare to guarantee that the Mavericks and Kings will win. It's us, fighting against the Timberwolves and the Lakers. "

"Jason, my lifelong happiness depends on you. I must win the championship." Brian sighed.

"Not so exaggerated?"

Brian smiled and said: "Yes, the old man said that as long as the team wins, he will retire next year and let me be the boss. As long as I become the boss, it is up to you and Mike (D'Antoni) to negotiate and wait for you. The contract expires, the next absolute salary is signed, and you have the right to veto the transaction. "

Brian's flatbread painting is very good, Guo Xu was completely aroused.
