Chapter 541 [JiǒngJiǒngsen’s request, what a cool label]
The other three Suns performed well, all scoring in double digits and hitting percentages exceeded 50%.
Usually, the cooperation between All-Star players lacks tacit understanding, and mainly solves problems by personal ability. When a team has four people selected at the same time, it is a huge advantage because they have a tacit understanding and can play like they did in a club.
This happened in Guo Xu's previous life. In the 2006 Houston All-Star Game, the Pistons were selected together, helping the Eastern Conference reverse and win the game when they were behind in big scores.
It was an All-Star Game that impressed Chinese fans with a very deep impression. Guo Xu watched the live broadcast in his previous life and was very angry.
Yao Ming was disappointed by not participating in the competition due to injury. McGrady, as the only host, is a popular candidate for MVP. He also worked hard enough with the help of his teammates, making 15 of 26 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, scoring the highest 36 points in the game.
Although there are teammates who are deliberate in their performance, McGrady's condition is generally an indisputable fact. His scoring depends on breakthroughs. The lack of rebounds and 2 of 7 free throws in the game shows that his performance is not perfect.
In the end, McGrady lost the MVP and the Western Conference was reversed and lost the game. The main reason was that the four Pistons, who were confused about the style, played very seriously and cooperated with tacit understanding to defend themselves.
Later, two lies were circulated in that All-Star.
First, James robbed McGrady's MVP, and it was OK, and the East also "robbed" the victory of the West. It would be fine if teammates cooperated, but should they still expect their opponents to cooperate with McGrady to get the MVP? The Western Conference was still leading by 21 points in the third quarter. In the remaining quarter, the East completed a 21-point reversal. This victory was extremely valuable.
The second is that Kobe deliberately made Maddy happy and was willing to be a green leaf. This is quite a trace of "golding his face". Kobe is not a red flower, so how can he be a green leaf"?
In the third quarter when it was reversed, Kobe was on the court, unable to keep up with Wade's rhythm at all. He was dizzy by the fast attacks of James and Wade. He watched the score difference be eaten up, and he was forced to make 3 mistakes and 5 fouls in the whole game.
All five fouls Kobe was still on the court at the last moment. How could he be a green leaf? He obviously had a life-long life but couldn't beat him...
Kobe's data in that game was 4 of 11 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, 8 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. He played a shit-like game. If the shooting felt good, he would definitely make more than 11 shots, but because he gave McGrady four assists, he was beautified to an exaggeration. Some people even said that Kobe might win the last attack, haha.
Guo Xu played very well today. He was the only red flower, and the others were all green leaves.
A reporter interviewed Guo Xu after the game: "When the four Suns' players appeared on the court at the same time, you cooperated very well. Do you think this is the main reason for winning?"
"In fact, Tim (Duncan), Yao Ming, and Lei Allen cooperated very well. I am very happy every time I participate in the star game. It will be easy to partner with geniuses regardless of score or assist. This feeling is great."
Guo Xu made a brief remark, thanking all the temporary teammates and coach Popovich.
Popovich will not offend league officials and fans by limiting Guo Xu's playing time just because he doesn't like to watch players show off. But Guo Xu was really worried before the game that the old man was trying to get on with him, because the Spurs missed him that year.
The star weekend has officially come to an end, and the home audience is still a little unsatisfied because they cannot support the team's stars, which feels not successful. Interestingly, the only thing that makes people remember tonight is their mascot, the Little Lion "Loki". He is currently the highest-paid mascot with an extraordinary performance.
In addition to often performing dunks with "falling from the sky" on spring pads, Rocky's biggest skill is the midfielder's back to the basket and throwing back. He performed during the break and hit one in three attempts. This is an amazing hit rate. I heard that this is also one of the important reasons why Rocky can earn more than one million in an annual salary.
That night, the Suns took a plane back to home court. The schedule was relatively easy. There was no game for a holiday tomorrow. They played against the Clippers at home on the 23rd.
Joe Johnson took the initiative to invite Guo Xu to sit with him, saying that he wanted to discuss with him if he had something to do, and Guo Xu agreed.
After getting on the plane, Joe Johnson had no expression on his face and was silent.
After taking off, Guo Xu asked: "Joe, if you have something to do, just say it. What word are you thinking about using the best to express it, right?"
Joe Johnson smiled a little embarrassedly, and was told by Guo Xu. He took a deep breath and whispered: "Jason, I hope you can help me... brush up the data next."
In his opinion, this was something that was hard to say, and his face looked even darker.
Guo Xu did not hesitate at all and smiled, "That's all? No problem. If you had said that I could help you brush data in the first half of the way."
Joe Johnson was stunned: “…”
"You should swipe your data in the year of the contract, otherwise how can you get a big contract? Brian should have talked to you to renew the contract with his agent, right?" Guo Xu never thought of saving money for the Suns.
"Yes, he wanted to renew his contract in advance, but said that the Sun could not give me a maximum salary. I wanted to see if I could get a bigger contract, so I didn't agree. Do you think I'm too greedy?" Joe Johnson felt a little embarrassed.
"Of course not. You have the strength, and a high salary is what you deserve. Whether you choose to stay in the Suns next season or be the boss of other teams, I suggest you get a tough game in one game. I will keep passing the ball to you, and you will strive to win five or sixty."
"If I were to leave the sun, wouldn't you blame me?"
"What am I blaming you? Who wouldn't like big contracts or core? I played with the Lakers for two seasons and I know your feelings very well. Although you and I have a big difference in personality, you have the ability to be core."
Guo Xu paused and smiled and said, "I respect your choice, but if you leave, it will definitely be difficult to win the championship again."
Guo Xu thinks that Joe Johnson's best positioning is second-in-command, and he is not qualified as a core player because he is not talkative and his scoring ability is not very explosive. He averages about 20 points per game, comprehensive but has no dominance. His style of play is similar to Pierce, and he needs good teammates to succeed.
Joe Johnson was silent for a while and squeezed out a sentence, "I want to give it a try."
Guo Xu immediately understood his idea, meaning that I wanted to try it as the core instead of trying to swipe data.
Joe Johnson's taciturn does not mean that he is a fool, does not mean that he has no ambition, nor does it mean that he is an honest person. Even if he is, does his family, friends, and the agency team behind him have no ambitions?
When you represent not only your own interests, but the interests of a large group of people, the problems are usually much more complicated.
At present, widespread public opinion is that as long as Guo Xu is around him, any player can play Joe Johnson's data. Although some media have praised him and said that he is seriously underestimated, his data is not very convincing, just like the Spurs' Ginobili.
When Guo Xu first joined the Suns, he made up his mind to keep Joe Johnson, and now he has changed his mind.
First, the forced melon is not sweet. Joe Johnson wants to prove that he can play well without playing with Guo Xu and become an All-Star. Second, Guo Xu also wants to prove that he has the ability to help his teammates become stronger, no matter who this person is.
