Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 516: [Surprise continues, super sun]

Nene missed the Suns' preseason game, and 14 others could play.

Guo Xu started every game about 20 minutes before taking a break, watching teammates play on the sidelines, cheering them on.

The coaching staff has given young players a lot of performance opportunities. Talents like Josh Howard and Trevor Ariza are too good. It is a waste to not train them.

The 19-year-old Ariza is the biggest surprise for the Suns this year's draft. He is 203cm tall and 218cm in wingspan. He has a good run and jump. Now he is an excellent outside defensive player. He relies on his talent to defend well and has a good rebounding ability. Unless the opponent is stronger than him and eats hard with his body, it is difficult to pass him.

On the offensive end, Ariza also has a special skill. He can break through the ball. The first step is very fast. The pre-season game has repeatedly staged a break dunk. There is a vague shadow of McGrady. In the summer league, he showed amazing talent. The Sun management signed the longest 2 + 1 contract with him.

Guo Xu is more optimistic about Ariza than anyone. In his previous life, he was very explosive. He buckled Okur and Ben Wallace and flew over Grant Hill. By 2018, he was still an excellent role player, and the Sun was equivalent to picking up a weakened version of Iguodala in the second round.

On the offensive end, Ariza can also shoot three points on the right side, only between the bottom angle and 50 degrees, but he is not allowed to shoot.

When he was attending Westchester High School, he led the team to a record of 32 wins and 3 losses in the California Intercollegiate Division, ranking fifth among all high school teams in the United States. He averaged 12 points and 12 rebounds per game in double-doubles, and became a team leader in his third year. He averaged 21 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals per game.

In high school, Ariza played in five positions, mainly power forwards. After entering college, he played No. 4 and could not play small forwards. This is very similar to the situation of James Jones.

The reason why he fell to the second round is not because the Ariza University has ordinary data, but because he has congenital asthma. He was diagnosed with asthma when he was 9 years old, and exercise was difficult for him. When he was in college, he received help from a school medical school project to overcome asthma and enter the NBA.

He shot 42.6% from the field last season, including only 23.7% of his three-pointers. He made 18 of 76 shots. His free throw percentage was an unbelievable 50.4%, and he made 57 of 113 shots. As a swingman, free throws are the same as O'Neill. Are you embarrassed to say hello?

In Guo Xu ’s previous life, Ali Zha did n’t shoot three-pointers in the first four seasons of his career in the NBA because he was unfortunately selected by the Knicks. The coach did not let him shoot. Three-pointer.

In the 2005-06 season, the Knicks coach was Larry Brown.

Yes, it is this tireless master.

The Knicks ’salary in 2006 reached 126 million, which was twice as high as the other teams. Under Brown ’s leadership, he played the worst record in the regular season. The magic is that the top pick was returned to the deal. The Bulls selected Aldridge with this list, and they were very mentally traded out.

At that time, Brown clearly said to Ariza: "Don't think about shooting, I don't allow you to shoot, especially 3-pointers." As long as Ariza makes a shot, whether it is a three-pointer or a mid-range shot, the goods will swear on the sidelines.

This made Ariza afraid of shooting, and didn't dare to think about this action on the court. Fortunately, he was still a little bit tempered, and one day he was scolded anxiously, he and Brown quarreled, and then he was quickly traded to the Magic and relieved.

The "potato" Nate Robinson, who was scolded at the time, chose to swallow his breath and was scolded by Brown for depression.

After arriving at the Lakers, Ariza came out of that depression with the help of coaches and teammates. His teammates will tell him, "Don't think about missing shots, just go for the shots." This worked well. His shots are getting better and better, and they have helped the team a lot.

Today, Ariza is a piece of jade. Although he is unstable in shooting, he dares to take shots. As long as he has trained properly in the first three seasons, he will soon play a role in the team. However, it is not easy to train him. The Sun's swingman position is definitely the strongest in the league next season, and the playing time is not easy to allocate.

With Marion, Joe Johnson, Bell and Howard, Ariza can only serve as the third substitute in positions 2 and 3. Even if Marion often came to the power forward, he could not play for a few minutes.

What is even worse is James Jones. Although he won the championship ring as soon as he entered the league, he has to continue to be a marginal player this season. He can only play in garbage time, and sometimes he can't even enter the 12-man roster.

Veteran Payton was the second surprise for the Suns. He and his new teammates worked well together and could control the rhythm after Guo Xu went off the court.

Payton recovered his familiar playing rhythm as soon as he arrived at the sun, and D'Antoni let him play in the second quarter to control the ball.

This is very critical. When the Lakers played well in the playoffs, it was strange that he usually passed the ball after halftime, and then watched the two teammates vie for the low position.

Payton's organizational ability is also qualified, he averaged 5.5 assists in the Lakers regular season, 5.3 playoffs, not many. After all, outside teammates have the disease of not dying without the ball. At that time, Guo Xu didn't have many assists in the Lakers.

Payton knew better than Blake where to pass the ball and how to grasp the timing of the pass. He is good at playing pick-and-rolls with his inside teammates, and using the height advantage to give the inside ball a drop, and occasionally he can play one back.

This is very effective, just like the future Warriors, Curry started with three-point shots and breakthroughs. After the opponent almost adapted to this rhythm, he changed to a point guard with a mid-range shot to hold the ball. Disturbed the opponent's rhythm.

The Warriors are responsible for this job, Livingston, the sun is Payton, both of them happen to like to play back, tall guards lacking speed, scoring mainly depends on the middle distance.

It's hard for Blake to have a chance to play in the new season, but his joining the Suns may not be a bad thing. In the previous life, Blake was injured many times in his early career. He played a short time in the sun. The task is simple, and he has always been healthy.

He can learn something about Payton, especially defense. With Guo Xu in, he will not let the team let him go. In the future, Payton will retire, he must have a chance to perform.

The highlight of the Sun's inside is Valejo, who is also an excellent immediate combat force, with a height of 211CM and a weight of 120 kg, and no one will suffer from single defense. He can resist people in the penalty area, is good at pick-and-roll prevention, and has to practice slowly only when his offense is poor.

Stoudemire's playing time is short ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Valecho and Haslem are able to play against other team starters inside.

Both Valejo and Ariza can only be marginal players in the new season of the Suns. Although they performed well in the preseason, other people are stronger. They must have to develop the league for a while.

NBDL can enhance the confidence of players, because it is particularly easy to play luxury data. If the decentralized players are very common in NBDL data, then be prepared to say goodbye to the NBA.

Howard, Haslem, Joe Johnson, Bell and others all have excellent performances. After winning a championship, these people showed confidence and began to transform. They were very regular in attack and defense on the court, and they cooperated very well.

Guo Xu used only 7 successes in the preseason, mainly passing, and scoring basically relied on three shots on the periphery, not very breakthrough. Because the main lineup is the drill, the Suns are not very serious, and still achieved 6 wins and 1 loss in the preseason.

Guo Xu is very clear that the depth of the Sun's lineup must be the first in the league. (https :)
