Chapter 273 [Three beasts, destined to take off! 】
Former Suns coach Frank Johnson did not leave Phoenix to find a new job. He wanted to wait for the Suns to continue losing streak, and the defensive end was a mess. He would compete for the job when he was in a slump this season to prove his ability.
He has no good goal for the time being because he wants to be an assistant coach with the worst coach, so that when the head coach is over, he will be able to reach it. This goal will probably never be, because he was the worst before.
Today, Frank followed the Suns through live TV. When D'Antoni changed two new players to the inside, he sneered, and a premonition that something was going to happen.
There was nothing wrong with the sun, he was going to get into trouble...
Frank, who was yelling at the espn commentator, had an ominous premonition. He had been fantasizing before that the worse the Suns played, the easier it would be for him to find a job, but he never thought about what would happen if the Suns played well without him. If the young players he didn't use were so big, would he still find a job in the future?
The Kings attacked, and Webber ran back after covering the screen and was hit by Xiao Si. The referee blew a foul. The weakness of too many new players in the team was obvious, and it was too easy to get into foul trouble. The referee liked to blew the "rookie whistle". The rookie's moves are not enough. Yao Ming, as the No. 1 pick, suffered such a loss in every game.
The out-of-bounds ball was sent, and Weber once again beat Sir S. He broke through and made a layup with the ball and missed. Nene grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu from a close distance.
Guo Xu took the ball and turned around and changed direction. Jackson retreated farther. Guo Xu stopped urgently and sent a long pass with one hand. Marion ran away like a wolf and threw away Peja.
His center of gravity dropped very low, and he almost ran away with his limbs. As long as he played the power forward, he was definitely the fastest inside line in the league to get a fast break. He was so fast that his brain couldn't keep up, and once he almost dunked into his own basket...
Marion received the pass in front of the free throw line, jumped up in two steps, and another one-handed dunk entered!
9-2, Guo Xu made the fourth assist.
Looking at this scene in the backcourt, Guo Xu felt so happy. This is the team he wanted to join and this is the game he wanted to play!
He felt more enjoyable than when he was in the Lakers, because the Lakers' "Kobe Casserole" combination mainly played singles, while the Suns' teammates scored mainly "eat cakes". It would be difficult for him to not hit a new high this year's assist data.
During training, Guo Xu liked Marion, a new teammate. Not only was he fast, he could jump more than Sir and Nene. He couldn't flatten the frame with his dunk head because he was too hunched back and didn't have a neck, so his movements were a bit ugly.
Not only is ugly, this year, Marion has a shooting percentage of 46% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38%, and averages 1.5 three-pointers per game. Many players with picturesque postures are not as good as him.
The king was stunned, and the Suns took a total of 3 seconds to attack this time.
The Kings attacked, Weber supported him at a high position, and Divac provided Jackson with a side cover, who received the ball from the run, and made a mid-range shot, 9-4.
In the Suns' attack, Guo Xu passed it to Joe Johnson, who was on the side without the ball to cover the running position. The latter attracted Divac to replace the defense and used two steps to pass the ball to the empty-cut teammate. Nene squeezed out Christie and took off from the right, smashed the ball into the basket with both hands. 11 to 4.
Hovas cried, "Oh my God! He is so much like Camp, a terrifying explosive power."
Woodson sighed: "Neine has always been a marginal person before, and is a substitute for several inside players who are not athletic. I can understand why Jason Guo wants to drive away the coach. Frank Johnson suppressed the Suns' two future stars. The Suns' two inside players could never play like this before."
Hovas smiled and said, "Even when Gugliota was at his peak, he relied on his skills to play. Now the two newcomers in the Suns rely on their talents."
The Kings completed the internal pass and cooperated with the inside. Weber received the pass from Divac and cut the one-handed dunk into the ball. Xiao Si missed the guy. 11 to 6.
It doesn't matter if the Suns concede the ball, they will be back immediately on the offensive end. Guo Xu passed the ball to Johnson first, who had no chance to protect the basketball. Guo Xu stood in the right corner and ran back, and played a no-ball cover with Nene from the side.
Johnson passed the ball, Guo Xu received the ball with a horn and passed Jackson who was chasing the defense. The breakthrough from the right attracted Divac to make up for the defense and passed to the bottom line from close range.
Nene received the ball and jumped up with one hand and dunked in!
13 to 6, Guo Xu had the fifth assist.
Adelman asked for a timeout after just 3 and a half minutes of the game. He couldn't stop it. The Suns made 6 of 6 shots, five of which were dunks, all of which were easy scoring opportunities.
The two newcomers in the Suns have too many physical fitness in the inside line. They caught the King off guard. Not to mention that Divac's defense is not good, even Webber's physical strength is at a disadvantage. After several major injuries, Webber's explosive power has dropped significantly.
When the game ended, Guo Xu and his teammates slapped each other, and everyone laughed happily, and the substitutes on the sidelines were also excited.
D'Antoni said excitedly: "I knew you could do it well."
"You're doing a pretty job, too, I know your tactics work." Guo Xu and D'Antoni clapped their hands.
In the Suns, the person with the best relationship with Guo Xu is not his teammate, but D'Antoni. They like each other so much.
D'Antoni was a point guard back then and loved fast breaks and pick-and-rolls. He could see his shadow when he was young from Guo Xu, but he was just a celebrity who played in Italy, and he was much worse than Guo Xu.
The reason why Guo Xu likes D'Antoni is simpler. He knows that this person was a blessing for point guards in his previous life. None of his point guards have bad numbers. Lakers defenders Kendall Marshall, who disappeared after playing for four seasons, all averaged 8 points and 8.8 assists per game. Harden, a point guard, played according to De Fat's tactics, and the data was close to 30+10 for two consecutive years.
It is hard for Guo Xu to not explode. This Suns team is much better than his previous life at the same time because there is one more Nene.
Although Nene was not selected as an All-Star in his previous life and was often abused by Yao Ming and Gasol, that was because he played in the Nuggets. In the early stage, it was a very concise positional battle, and then Iverson came, and the ball rights were not enough.
He devoted his best years to the Nuggets, and had no ball rights, and was used as a blue-collar worker. He averaged 9.2 shots per game in the Nuggets' highest season. So his highest performance in his career was several serious injuries and his quality declined.
Noah, the Bulls' defense in one match and one defense in 2013-14, was the most soccer in history, but he was also recognized as the top three centers in the season. As a result, the Wizards vs. Bulls, Nene made Noah doubt his life on the offensive end.
Although Nene's data is only 18 points per game, those who watched that series can definitely feel Nene's suppression of Noah on both offense and defense. Not only can he score, but he can also assist his teammates, and Noah is at a loss when he is more defensive.
What best reflects Nene's physical fitness is his playing years. Even though he was reimbursed twice for major injuries, he still played in the league in 2018. Yao Ming, Xiao Si and others who entered the NBA in the same year have retired for n years.
In the 2016-17 season, the 35-year-old Nene contributed 9.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 17.9 minutes in the regular season. He became even more brave after entering the playoffs. He scored 10 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.4 blocks in 18 minutes, and his shooting percentage was 70.6%. He didn't look like a veteran.
In the fourth game between the Rockets vs. The Thunder that year, Nene played for only 25 minutes, scored 28 points and 10 rebounds on 12 of 12 shots, with the highest score and rebounds in the team. His net score on the court reached an astonishing +25. Duncan, known as the "No. 21 rookie", did not perform like this.
