Chapter 453 [God bless you, dare not provoke again]
The "Fat Fox" restaurant became popular on the first day of its opening. It became popular on entertainment news because a group of celebrities came to support it. Many media advertised the restaurant for free, almost to the point where everyone in the United States knew it.
This incident also advertised Guo Xu's upcoming movie "The Innocence of the Dancer". Some media revealed that Guo Xu will write a new song for Avril and Britney, and will work with Keanu Reeves and Jason Statham for a new movie, which is expected to be an action movie.
There were many photos of the day leaked online, and fans were enthusiastically discussing who the three were Guo Xu’s genuine girlfriends. At present, they all called themselves single and were good friends with Guo Xu, which was fascinating.
Avril has the highest approval rating, surpassing Meghan. Everyone thinks Britney and Guo Xu are not suitable, and there are not many fans supporting them. I believe they are really just friends.
The NBA regular season continued, and Guo Xu was elected the Western Conference Player of the Month in December with his terrifying personal performance last month.
On January 2, the Suns began their away journey, defeating the Pistons 111 to 93, and swept the opponent 2-0 in the regular season.
Pistons substitute point guard Chaki Atkins returned from injury, and was beaten against Guo Xu. Billups suffered a loss in defending against Guo Xu alone, and Atkins was not able to interfere with shooting alone.
Atkins is 180cm tall, fast, good shooting, and is a player with the highest shooting and second passing. Once Billups rests, the Pistons' offense is not well organized.
The Pistons without Rashid Wallace are currently ranked third in the East, and their defense is also flawed, so it's nothing special.
In order for the team to attack better, Larry Brown insisted on developing Ben Wallace's "potential". He decided that something was not to hit the wall and never look back. With the encouragement of the coach, Da Ben made a lot of shots, made 4 of 12 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 10 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
During the game, Da Ben staged a good show of pick-and-roll cut and dribbling the ball, hitting Guo Xu from low post and turning around and shooting missed the ball. His shooting movements were stiff and like throwing discus. If it were other teams, the head coach would definitely tell Da Ben to try not to shoot, but at the Pistons he is Brown's own son and has a lot of freedom on the offensive end.
Brown loves big book deeply, just like the Hollywood Ma Daimeng loves big book deeply, they always show their love at press conferences.
The Pistons' loss this time is no exception. Brown said he was very satisfied with Daben's performance and believed that he could help the team well on both offense and defense, but he didn't know which team he helped on the offense...
A reporter asked about Big Ben's shooting percentage, but Brown didn't think Big Ben's shooting percentage was low. Who told him to coach Iverson before? In his opinion, it is normal for the core to hit the percentage in a game to be less than 40%, and abstract things like efficiency are nothing.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Da Ben's retirement ceremony, Brown paid tribute like this. "You broke the rut and you will never show the next you. They said that the Pistons in 2004 did not have any superstars? They didn't understand what they were talking about. I have been shouting like this for many years. There was a superstar in the Pistons in 2004, and that was you. With your figure, you are the best defensive player I have ever seen. There will never be anyone like you. God bless you, Ben."
In the NBA, the standard for becoming a "superstar" is at least to have won the regular season MVP or FMVP, plus a championship, Barkley, Malone, and Iverson are all controversial because they have only entered the finals. But in Brown's eyes, if he can defend, he can be called a superstar. He is so alternative.
The Suns' defensive strategy is to defend 122, strictly prevent the penalty area, and let the Pistons players shoot three-pointers. They shot a lot, and only made 5 of 21 shots in the game. This is the result of not practicing three-pointers in normal times. If you have an open position, you may not be able to seize the opportunity. The Suns just need to strangle Billups hard and shoot one shot point.
After a day off, the Suns defeated the Raptors 113-97 away.
The Raptors traded with the Bulls and dug up former star swinger Jaylen Ross. On the surface, the team added a strong scoring point, but in fact, Ross is just a brush, overlapping with Carter's position, and the Raptors can only score 86 points per game.
Guo Xu had no pressure against Alvin Williams and easily scored 23 points and 16 assists.
Sir Scare scored 42 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and severely tortured Raptors rookie Chris Bosh.
Bosh joined the Raptors in the fourth pick and partnered with Donyere Marshall in the inside and was forced to play the center position where he was not good at. He was not the "Dragon King" at this time, and he was not able to withstand the confrontation. He mainly scored after pick-and-roll and received the ball and shot.
Sir Sir have an advantage in directly fighting Bosh. Once Guo Xu broke through the pick-and-roll, he led Bosh away. Sir Sir cut into the basket and dunked several times, and there were many shots that were swayed and made 12 of 15 shots.
Carter scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. His performance this season is still very bad. He averaged 20 shots per game and only scored 22.5 points, 5 rebounds and 4.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 41.5%. He was selected as the All-Star just because fans wanted to watch his dunk performance.
The Suns won easily away against the weak Bulls. Guo Xu didn't play much time, his scoring data was not very exciting, and his victory was stable, and he scored a double-double with 24 points and 11 assists.
Back-to-back Suns lost to the Bucks 92-95, and the winning streak was ended. Guo Xu scored 25 points and 10 assists.
The Bucks are not weak this year, with Michael Reed averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, becoming the team's new core; Tim Thomas can shoot three-pointers to open up space; small forward Draymond Mason has outstanding strength and strong impact; blue-collar center Ratliff has good physical fitness and good defensive ability; rookie TJ Ford has a sharp breakthrough and can keep up with Guo Xu's speed.
The Bucks are weak on the bench, and the main rotations are Joe Smith, Brian Skina, Damon Jones...
The Bucks are currently only one game behind the Pistons, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference, stronger than Guo Xu's previous period. The key is that they traded Ratliff with the "big dog" Robinson.
Back at home, the Suns defeated the Kings 120-103.
The Kings' offense was excellent, but Guo Xu scored a large double-double with 40 points and 14 assists, and six players in the Suns scored in double-digit points. Guo Xu was uncomfortable when he played the pick-and-roll Kings and could even fight Bibi in the counterattack.
Pier also got a chance to play, and the coach did not arrange for him to play against Guo Xu, for fear of something wrong. It was not that Pier was afraid that he would maliciously take revenge on Guo Xu, but that he was beaten to death on the court.
Pier watched the video of himself being knocked down and many people online analyzed how capable Guo Xu was, and dared not provoke him anymore. He was really a guy who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Last time he was suspended for five games, and he didn't know how many games he would have to suspend, and he couldn't beat the opponent at all.
Pierre's mentality affected his performance. He played in 19 minutes, made 0 of 2 shots, didn't score a single point, only 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Bibi and Guo Xu were facing each other, and he felt the same pain as Nash, and he couldn't live this life.
On the 13th, the Suns defeated the Nuggets 112-100 at home, and the three scored 20+ points. Sir and Marion beat the inside, and Nene also scored 14 points and 8 rebounds. The Nuggets could not defend themselves only by Cambi.
The Suns defeated the Trail Blazers 105-96 back to back and won three consecutive victories.
The players' touch in this game were average, and they won the final quarter. Nene, Haslem, Bale, Marion and Guo Xu's single defense ability was affirmed, and the defender's Trail Blazers only scored 15 points in a single quarter.
