Legend of Tomorrow

The second game continued in Phoenix. The result was almost the same. The Suns battled the Grizzlies a little bit, and the score of 14 points was not much different. But the fans who watched the game knew that the Grizzlies had no chance.

The enthusiasm of the Grizzlies fans extinguished the flames, the strength gap between the two teams is obvious, the Grizzlies can not eliminate the Suns and advance to the Western Conference.

Guo Xu controls the rhythm on the offensive end of the Sun, and the defensive end performs better than in the regular season, which makes people feel helpless.

During the regular season, the Suns are mainly offensive. Marion's power forward and Haslem center D'Antoni have been discharged. Now the Suns are targeted against the Grizzlies.

When the Grizzlies' top four swingers can't play efficiently, they have a hard time winning because the Grizzlies rely on the swingers to make three-pointers. The point guards have three-point ability and average scoring ability.

It is not good for the black pot to pick Guo Xu's fault again. Some people said that he relied on running and running, and he would only play fast-paced games. As a result, this round of the series was beaten.

It is not just the players who have improved the playoff experience, but also the Sun coaching staff. They know how to play in the playoffs and it is easier to win.

The Grizzlies inevitably exposed some shortcomings, such as they rely too much on the inside double bears, poor outside breakthrough ability, etc., because of the flaws, they played with the Rockets for seven games before they advanced.

Jason Williams performed well in the last round, and now shows the prototype, he can break through Sula, but not Guo Xu. The Grizzlies' strongest breakthrough player is Bunch Wells, but he is unsure of the mid-range shot.

Williams performed poorly in this field, 2 of 9 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, no free throws, 5 points and 5 assists. Guo Xu's large double-double with 26 points and 21 assists was another one.

The Grizzlies management has already begun to consider sending Williams off in the summer to change to a more reliable point guard, even if the defense is equally bad and the offense is better.

After the game, ESPN reported that the game mentioned Guo Xu's defense, thinking that he was very terrible to defend seriously.

Guo Xu's appearance is very ordinary, although the muscles are strong, but not the "small steel gun" type. He gives the illusion that it is easy for a back attack to knock him through. In fact, he has a low center of gravity and sufficient strength. He can always interfere with the body and make the ball uncomfortable.

If the player's height is insufficient, it is indeed easy for the opponent to jump to the basket, but the defender is more active in chasing and defending. If he catches up with the defender, he can make up for the defects to a certain extent. Point guards don't know how to switch between big guys who don't know about life and death, they won't be bullied miserably. The opponent's point guard is not much higher, even the heavy point guard is about 10CM higher.

There are only a handful of point guards with a height of 195CM or higher in the league. The size of the point guard is not fast enough, and it also has shortcomings.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Chris Paul was not fast, and he often entered the best defensive lineup by actively chasing and guarding and harassing with small actions. Although Guo Xu often thinks about life on the defensive end in the regular season, he is more capable of chasing and defending than Paul when he is serious, and the confrontation is also a level. It is not so easy for opponents to play against him in a wrong position.

The defensive black holes on the back line are all kinds of players who have neither strength, speed nor active defense, and are often beaten to death. Guo Xu's physical fitness is top in the 1st position, his physical strength is amazing, how can the defense be poor?

After the regular season awards are announced, it will certainly cause controversy, because there must be no Guo Xu in the best defensive lineup, but there must be people who can't even enter the playoffs.

On May 12, the major awards of the regular season were announced.

The league officials held a meeting on whether to allow Guo Xu to win the regular season MVP three times.

It took only 5 minutes for everyone to make a unanimous decision to make Guo Xu become the "big bird" Bird, and another player who has won the MVP regular season for three consecutive years.

In fact, David Stern did not want to do this because Guo Xushi was too young, and he was only 23 years old this year.

In the previous NBA, a 23-year-old player won an MVP for a long time, so fans can say for a long time, it is an eternal glory, and now Guo Xu, 23-year-old three consecutive MVP, is unprecedented.

The Alliance has been carrying out the star-making movement, but they also do not want this super strongman to steal the limelight of everyone. Guo Xu is like Jordan in 1993, even better, because Jordan was 30 years old.

It is impossible not to let Guo Xu obtain this MVP, only to blame the stars of other teams are too disappointed, not even a person with record and data comparable to Guo Xu.

The Heat's O'Neal 23 + 10, Spurs second in the West, Duncan 20 + 11 + 3, Hawks' Nash 17 + 11, how do they compare with Guo Xu who cut down nearly 25 + 15? Not to mention the record, they are all worse than the Suns by more than 10 games.

If the league really gives the award to others, many fans will feel that the NBA is shady, which will affect the popularity and future development of the entire league.

After confirming the MVP, Stern discussed the second topic, how to dismantle this Sun's lineup?

In fact, the league is already doing this this season, and making Joe Johnson selected for the All-Star Game is the first step. In fact, in terms of data and team status, Cameron Anthony is more qualified to be selected, and the core data is better, but the league would prefer to let the host do not have an All-Star game, all have to complete Joe Johnson.

Mid-season, the league's decision caused a lot of dissatisfaction with the Nuggets fans. Of course, the league did not do this because of Joe Johnson ’s long handsome or good character, but in this way to remind the Sun management, give Joe Johnson a reminder, let them consciously break up.

You have all been selected as an All-Star, so I'm sorry to be a four-headed team?

However, even if Joe Johnson does not renew the contract, Stern finds it difficult for other teams to compete with the Suns because they still have an offensive trident. Now the sun gives people the feeling of the three consecutive Lakers, only one word can describe-invincible!

Their combination of inside and outside plus a strong wing defense is very similar to the Lakers. The difference is that the popularity of Guo Xu was not so high. The Lakers were silly and let him go. The dynasty is over. Now the sun can never give up Guo Xu. He can only find a way to let his teammates leave.

There was no way to discuss the result at a meeting. It was necessary to consider long. The contract of Stoudemire's rookie was not over yet. Marion had already signed a long contract. Sun had no reason not to want them.

Guo Xu held a press conference on the afternoon of the 12th and received the MVP trophy and was interviewed. More reporters came to Phoenix than last time because he broke the historical record again.

This time Guo Xu felt much less ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ He said: "Thank you all, the people I mentioned in the interview last year and the year before, I will not repeat it here. For the awards. I did n’t feel much about it this time. I tried to cooperate with my teammates and win the game. It ’s that simple. I ’m the best player in active service, so I won this award. ”

Then, he answered several questions from reporters, refused to compare himself with retired residences, and did not comment on those residences who have also won MVP three times.

The reporters are still unsatisfied. Guo Xu's feelings are less than some players scored high points in the regular season. Finally, Guo Xu explained the reason for his indifference.

"I seem to be used to getting MVP."

As soon as the news came out, online fan discussions went crazy, some people thought he was cool, some people thought he was too arrogant.

"Big Bird" Bird said in an interview, saying something thought-provoking. "I think Jason Guo is not arrogant. He has three consecutive MVPs and three team regular season 70+ wins. This is not a blow. He is actually very normal in an interview, but he is so normal and stimulated. too many people."
