After the media reported Guo Xu's remarks, most people thought he was too arrogant. Being able to win two championships in the Lakers does not mean that he can succeed in the Suns. The Lakers had already won a championship once before he joined, and the Suns could not make it to the playoffs last season.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Marbury made similar remarks and was unanimously criticized by public opinion.

In the 2004-05 season, Marbury scored his career peak data in the Knicks, scoring 21.7 points, 3 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 40 minutes, shooting percentage of 46.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%, and free throw percentage of 83.4%. Although the Knicks finally ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference, Marbury also felt great and claimed to be the number one point guard in the world.

Guo Xu said, "I believe I am the best point guard in the league, no one." He also received a lot of criticism online, although the season has not started yet. The reason why fans criticized him is very simple. He is only 21 years old this year. If he is the best now, where can other star point guards put their face?

Many fans cursed that the Suns could not enter the playoffs in the new season, hoping that their idols could give Guo Xu some color so that he could know that leaving the Lakers is not that easy, and that he understood that he was just a newcomer who had played for two seasons and was lucky enough to win two championship rings.

President David Stern still has a good impression of Guo Xu and is preparing to continue to promote him this year. Guo Xu said that winning offense is the king, which is worth encouraging.

Stern felt that Guo Xu was really smart. It would always be beneficial to himself and the team when he went to different places to say different things.

When he was in the Lakers, Guo Xu admitted that he was his younger brother as soon as he went there. No matter how much the media praised him, he praised O'Neal and Kobe. In 2001, he had the opportunity to compete for FMVP, but in the last game he took the initiative to help O'Neal create opportunities and gave up the honor.

He lost a trophy and gained a selfless reputation. If he didn't do this, it would be difficult for the Lakers to break the record the next year, and there would probably be something wrong with the locker room.

Guo Xu is not so polite now, and he shows that he is the core and wants to become the best point guard. He has won two championships and entered the second team of the best team. If he faces Iverson, Kidd and others who have not won the championship, he is not humble, but a little stupid.

If Guo Xu praises his opponent, he won’t even get a thank you, and the opponent’s fans will take the opportunity to step on him. This is the direct evidence of the strong idol’s strength.

The next day, the Suns open training class, and the training hall was full of fans. This was the first time in a few years. Kidd was not that attractive. Perhaps because Kidd looked like a bandit, Guo Xu was much more beautiful.

Guo Xu joined with a maximum salary, but for the Suns, this is still a sure-making deal. Now his commercial value has begun to show. The Phoenix Times revealed that the team's season ticket sales next season are currently ranked third in the league, second only to the Lakers and the Kings.

According to media comments, Guo Xu's arrival means "a new huge market will open up" for the Suns. His popularity last season was so high that everyone in the Suns combined were not as good as that in comparison.

The finale of open training was the group competition, and Guo Xu did not disappoint the Suns fans who supported him.

He and Casey Jacquesen, Marion, Gugliotta and Haslem were divided into four teams, and the Blues played against each other without any fighting back. The Blues had two of the last season.

Haslem did not become the weakness of the White team, but was a highlight. He was fat and had a good cover effect, and he could not stop people when he was 110 kilograms. After the pick-and-roll, he did not cut empty, stood at a high position and waited for Guo Xu to pass the ball, and took the ball when he received the ball. Overweight did not affect his feel, and the shooting rate of the open jump shot was gratifying.

After the pick-and-roll, Guo Xu easily got rid of Alston. It was not difficult to pass the two slow inside players, including Chakalidis and Gugliotta. He could also shoot directly on the outside.

The defensive end is quite funny. Haslem defeated Suns center Jack Chakalidis outside the penalty area last season, allowing him to score 8 minutes without a single point.

Manager Brian was stunned. This fat man is really good? Although he is short, he is useful.

In fact, if a defender who is good at shooting plays a pick-and-roll attack, Haslem will definitely not be able to switch defenses, and his speed is too slow and he will be played with. His good performance is because of the tactics arranged by the coach, which makes Jack, who is 218cm tall and 130kg, stays in a low position.

Jack has no explosive power, he only relies on his height and weight to be at the basket like O'Neal. What's the use of this?

But last season, the Suns coaching staff had always wanted to develop Jack's low-post offensive ability, which allowed him to 47 games, averaging 7.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1 block per game, with very low efficiency.

Guo Xu scored easily in fast attacks and positional battles, and he could also attract teammates to assist in defense, the best in the game.

Marion had a very fast counterattack speed and strong rebounding ability, and performed second best, followed by Haslem. He surprised the fans who held the season tickets and came to watch the training and made four mid-range shots.

This year, the 22-shot white rookie swingman Jacques Bson, also performed in the first round of the Suns, with one three-pointer and one mid-range shot.

Jacques Bson is 198cm tall and weighs 98 kilograms. He was a star player in college. He had certain ability to hold the ball and shoot accurately. After joining the Suns, he was the team's key training target. He was also very confident and boldly chose the No. 23 jersey.

The only one who did not perform was Gugliota. He was not as good as a fat man in cover, and was not as good as a swing man in empty space. The extremely slow singles movement made Guo Xu feel a headache, so he passed the ball to him.

The highlights of the Blues were Joe Johnson's singles and Stadameier's pick-and-roll cut, and they took over the Blues' scoring.

Alstom dribbled well and had a bad shot. After breaking through, he made two small throws, and once a quick stop jump shot, he also missed the basket when Guo Xu's pull-out was outside the three-point line.

The "Street Ball King" plays too wild, and his shooting choices are poor. As long as he breaks through and chooses to pass the ball instead of shooting, he is an excellent substitute point guard.

As for the swingers who Chakalidis and Brian invited to play preseason, their strength is not worth mentioning.

After playing for a while, the two teams substituted, Nene was the best player. The draft report showed that he was a rough guy with outstanding defense, but he showed talent on the offensive end. He cut the ball from the pick-and-roll and received the ball, used his flexible footsteps several times, and then scored in the penalty area after a feint, with a shooting percentage of 70%.

"Snake Man" Mickey Moore performed extremely badly and could not stay at first sight. His defensive end was heartbreaking, much worse than Guo Xu imagined. The Suns 34-year-old veteran Sgerter Williams fought him alone and played casually. This blue-collar worker has never been known for his offense. He averaged 7.6 points per game in his peak season.

Veteran Randy Brown plays soybeans on both ends of the offense and defense, and his only function is to dribble through half the court. His opponents can still let him go, and he has not practiced shooting well when he is about to retire. He plays the No. 1 position too slowly, and plays the No. 2 position 188cm tall and is too short, so he can only be a mascot.

In the first joint training, the Suns were mixed. What was happy is that Guo Xu was very strong, and the two high-ranking inside rookies this year also performed well. What was worried is that the Suns' outside lineup was too poor. If you want to find results, it is best to find two powerful substitutes.
