Guo Xu stole all the limelight. Not many people care about the confrontation between Stardameier and Yao Ming, they are just role players.

The Suns scored five in double digits, while the Rockets scored six in double digits, but the scores were relatively average.

At the press conference, Guo Xu not only expressed his thoughts of 40+10, but also commented on Yao Ming. "I don't think he should be questioned. He should shoot more goals in each game. After knowing that he averaged less than 10 shots per game, I think it's incredible that he's too selfless."

Yao Ming has a high shooting percentage and his scoring efficiency is much higher than the outside cores who shot randomly. Giving him 15 shots, he can score 20+ in his rookie season.

The Rockets are necessary to combine inside and outside, and it is understandable that the two defenders make more moves. However, Griffin and Taylor, the two power forwards with a shooting percentage of about 40%, are similar to Yao Ming's number of shots, and both of them make more than 8 shots. Moreover, their playing time is less than Yao Ming's and their shooting frequency is much higher.

A Chinese reporter asked: "What height do you think Yao Ming can reach in the future?"

Guo Xu said: "It will definitely be the top five star center in the league. He has flexible steps and a soft shooting feel. It is almost impossible to block the shot. Although he can't dominate the penalty area like O'Neal, he can help the team in another way."

A black reporter asked: "Don't you think Yao Ming is not tough enough?"

Guo Xu smiled and said, "In addition to O'Neal, the star inside players are excellent in jump shots. There are several players who are called tough guys who make a living by jump shots. Why did Yao jump shot become a sin? I think the toughness of a player is mainly reflected in the defensive end. When dealing with the Rockets, all teams will consider shooting more shots outside the penalty area. Do you still want him to be tough? Will he become a big truck to lead the Autobots?"

A burst of laughter came from the venue, and Houston reporters were very happy when they heard Guo Xu praising Yao Ming.

Stern was also very happy to watch the press conference on TV. Yao Ming is the target of the league, the bridge of basketball exchanges between China and the United States, and the bridge of cultural exchanges between China and the United States. He also felt that Yao Ming did not have enough ball rights now, and some things he was not convenient for him to say publicly were said by Guo Xu.

Wang Zhizhi, a Chinese player who comes to play in NBA, is of average strength and is at most a pioneer. Yao Ming is the key to NBA opening up the Chinese market.

The Yao Ming effect has begun to appear. As he gradually gained a foothold in the NBA, he beat O'Neal in the All-Star voting, and more and more Chinese basketball fans are becoming more and more crazy.

High school students began to save money to buy basketball newspapers and magazines, and circulated almost throughout the class. College students began to skip classes and go to Internet cafes or go back to dormitories to watch online live broadcasts. Office workers would secretly watch live broadcasts in a working manner when their boss was not paying attention. Almost everyone in China knows Yao Ming, and countless people became fans of Yao Ming, thus becoming a die-hard fan of the Rockets and regard the Rockets as the Chinese home team.

Praise Yao Ming, now it is the political correctness of NBA.

Of course, Guo Xu would not forget to praise his teammates. When the reporter asked him to evaluate his teammates, Guo Xu smiled and said, "We are the enemy of Autobots today. Please ask me to buy a bed!"

There was another burst of laughter in the audience. Since Yao Ming, who was flowing on the floor, was described as Optimus Prime by him, a group of guys who could run and jump and looked like flying were said to be quite vivid as Decepticon. The Decepticon boss, Megatron, English name is megatron, which reads "buy a bed".

The animation of "Transformers" is almost everyone knows, and everyone knows it. Guo Xu uses this to describe the game and the players, which is much more interesting than other players who use the perfunctory media to speak hundreds of times.

A female reporter asked: "The Decepticon is a villain, why don't you give an example of decentness?"

Guo Xu replied: "This year we are the villains, because we are the youngest team in the core. If we win the championship, we will create history and create miracles, and other teams will definitely do their best to stop us. We have great ambitions and our goal is to dominate here!"

The reporters applauded together, and Guo Xu's words were often contagious, and they showed their domineeringness when they used animation as examples.

Guo Xu said loudly: "My assists are much higher than those in the Lakers, which cannot be separated from the team's tactics and the help of teammates. Thank you everyone, thank you for your hard work. I will also try to pass better balls and help you fly higher!"

Here, "flying higher" refers to the improvement of the player's status, not the dunk. The audience applauded together, and Guo Xu's words made them feel that the team basketball is great. The Suns' young people are in charge of the family. The secret to success is unity and mutual achievement.

Guo Xu thanked his teammates from the bottom of his heart. It was very important for rookies such as Xiao Si. It was very obvious in the first 21 games of the game. He really couldn't lead the entire team if his teammates were not strong enough.

In the past life, many people said that it would be wrong that Sir, Marion and others would not be able to do it. Long before Nash joined the Suns, they were already star players who averaged 20+ per game.

No matter how strong your core ability is, you cannot leave the help of your teammates. The opponent's double-team will make you feel so good. Guo Xu is very difficult to play against double-teams, let alone Nash, who has a better offense ability to hold the ball and attack?

At this time, the first and second-year Suns players felt that they were very lucky. It was not easy to meet a selfless core as soon as they entered the league. Guo Xu had no star airs and would consider others. He was a great boss.

After the game, the media praised Guo Xu wildly, and at the same time questioned that Francis was not a qualified core and that both offense and defense were not outstanding enough.

Questioning is inevitable. Francis is indeed often beaten up. Although he is very physically equated, he is not active enough in defending the defender when defending. When the Rockets played against the 76ers in 2002, Iverson scored a career-high 58 points and got many misplaced opportunities. Today, Guo Xu played Francis without temper.

The Rockets management is still very confident in Francis and will not choose to trade just because he was beaten a few times. It is almost impossible for them to switch to a defender with stronger and more popular than Francis.

Guo Xu's words gave Tom Janovic some inspiration. He planned to increase Yao Ming's attack power, and he also took the ball and took action. Yao Ming was much more accurate than Taylor and Griffin. The two of them took Yao Ming twice each, and the Rockets' attack would be better.

The Rockets' habit of passing Yao Ming without much guns on the outside has to change. Yao Ming's shooting percentage is the highest in the team, but its main function is to cover it and open up space to help the two defenders create opportunities. This is a waste of talent.

The next day, the saying that "Guo Xu is the strongest 180cm player on the surface" began to circulate on the Chinese Internet.

Guo Xu usually browses Chinese websites, and after reading it, he feels very happy. If he had reported height at that time, he would not have given him the title of "a few centimeters more".

Some fans have a strange idea. In their opinion, players with a height of 180cm and below must be very weak and have no future. Although players with 183-185cm are still at a disadvantage on the defensive end and cannot be misplaced. The benefits of having the extra 5cm can be ignored, but these people think they are much stronger.

In fact, many NBA players are about 180cm tall, but they like to make up integers when they are on the side of the body. 183cm is just 6 feet, and the shorter one is 5 feet a little shorter, which is much worse in the senses. This is why players participate in the draft, and there are a lot of people with 183cm, and then there are less than 180cm, and there are no two numbers 181 and 182.

This caused an interesting problem. After Guo Xu grew taller, he reported to the bottom of the draft. His actual height was not only 180cm, but many 183cm players in the league were shorter than him.
