Chapter 686 [Guiding public opinion, I am the most real]
The series that the league focuses on promoting is the Cavaliers vs. the Hawks, with the purpose of winning the "Little Emperor" James. In his third season of his career, James, 21 years old this year, looks very promising and can at least become Guo Xu's number one challenger.
James' first-round winning streak was a bit defeated, but the media deliberately downplayed the referee not watching video replays, ignored the Heat's protests, and kept making trouble on the comprehensiveness of James's technology.
Of course, James is indeed capable and has played superstar data. As soon as he enters the league, few players can do it. Guo Xu has also been a younger brother in the Lakers.
Now Guo Xu blasted the Spurs before the game to play dirty, and he stole the limelight and attracted the attention of fans. More and more people paying attention to the Western Conference Finals suddenly became more and more.
Compared to the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference Finals feels more tit-for-tat. The two teams have met in the playoffs many times and are considered old enemies.
On the Internet, You Guomi responded to Guo Xu's call and really cut a collection of Bao Wen's defenses, allowing people to see Bao Wen's defensive methods, and edited several stars' negative comments on Bao Wen.
NBA has no player to support Bowen because no player will be sympathetic with this guy. Only Spurs fans speak for him, saying that Bowen uses small moves and has never sacked anyone.
This kind of rebuttal is powerless. Do you have to hurt all the people in the league who are against him seriously and completely destroy them to prove that this is a bad person?
Some fans also talked about Duncan's injury, believing that as long as the Spurs did not use off-set moves, they would definitely not win the Suns. This time, the young players of the Suns were more confident and realized that they had an advantage.
Guo Xu directly listed the opponent's weaknesses, not nonsense, but something that the media reported to him.
Many people are saying what would happen if Duncan, nicknamed "Flying Devil", would be like if he had not had that major injury in 2000. In fact, that injury did not affect Duncan too much. After his comeback, he was in the top three in MVP for four consecutive years, until the emergence of plantar fasciitis in 2004.
This chronic disease seems average, and it does not have the direct impact that Duncan reimbursement gave people, but it will slightly erode the players' fighting spirit and condition, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Duncan's plantar fasciitis this season was the most serious period, and the data fell below 20+10 for the first time.
In Guo Xu's previous life, although Duncan returned to the 20+10 ranks a year later, a downward trend was inevitable. Coupled with **Vic's timely quit tactics, Duncan has never entered the top five of the MVP selection since 2007.
For regular season teams, it doesn’t matter if the core playing time is shorter. The Spurs have a high winning rate, but they are competing for star abilities in the playoffs. If Duncan plays for limited playing time, it is indeed very unfavorable for the Spurs.
If plantar fasciitis were not available, Duncan's peak condition would have been several years longer. Now he is not sure about facing Guo Xu.
Guo Xu was full of confidence. The Spurs in the previous life were eliminated by the Mavericks in the second round of the season with a total score of 3-4. Their lineup has the least changes from their previous life, and the core is still those people. The Spurs have home advantage and were eliminated when playing against the Mavericks and Spurs, but now the Suns have home advantage.
Before the game started, the Suns' momentum had surpassed the Spurs.
**Wich was angry when he saw the situation was not good, and he was furious in an interview. "He was a false slander. I will not arrange players to deliberately hurt their opponents, and Bowen did not deliberately hurt their opponents. Jason Guo deliberately guided public opinion because he was afraid of losing to the Spurs. He was very hypocritical."
The reporter said: "Jason Guo dares to admit that he even swipes data and does not defend seriously. Many people say that he is the most frank player."
**Vicci: "…"
The Spurs are really mute and can't tell the pain. Even if Bowen has not started yet, they are already in an unfavorable situation. Because Bowen has done too many such bad things, he has had it twice this season.
Bowen was scolded by fans many times during the regular season. On December 6, Carter, who was already at the Nets, faced the Spurs, and Bowen used the same trick again when defending. Obviously, with the painful lessons before, Carter was prepared for a jump shot in front of Bowen. He avoided Bowen's black foot and was injured. He couldn't bear it anymore. After getting up, he rushed towards Bowen and tried to beat him up and was pulled away by his teammates. At this time, Bowen showed an innocent look and spread his hands to the referee.
This is Bowen's third stepping footsteps, Carter is really chasing the pad.
After the game, a reporter interviewed Bowen and asked him if it was intentional. Bowen said frankly that he did not do it on purpose. Although cases have shown that he realized it after joining the Spurs, this is often the virtue of defending against stars.
In February this year, in the Spurs' game against the Magic, Steve Francis stepped on Bowen's left foot after completing a jump shot in the first quarter, thus spraining his ankle and forced to leave the field early.
Because of this foul, the Magic failed to trade Francis in the middle of the season.
The one who suffered the worst injury under Bowen's defense was Hamilton. In the 2004-05 season, Bowen was responsible for defending Hamilton.
This tall and thin middle-shot king runs very fast, and Bowen often can't keep up. In order to prevent Hamilton, Bowen actually poked Hamilton's eyes with his fingers many times. You should know that Hamilton played with a mask. What's outrageous is that his mask was directly knocked off by Bowen and hurt his eyes.
Who is more credible to talk to a bird man like Bao Wen or Guo Xu? Is it still necessary to ask?
Some fans think that Guo Xu uses this method to save himself, and he has a premonition that the Spurs will definitely attack him in the series. This is true. How did the Spurs deal with Nash in the 2007 playoffs in his previous life? Guo Xu still remembers it all the time for so many years.
Nash was broken by his nose, knocked away by Horry, and even Bowen pushed his crotch with his knee...
**Vic found that he could no longer arrange the extra-track moves, and the Spurs were stared at by countless pairs of eyes.
A 35-year-old Bao Wen can't defender player like Guo Xu, who is extremely fast, and he can't keep up with the speed and can only help defend.
A small forward who doesn't care about his own people, chases the point guard to step on the foot. If Guo Xu is injured, he didn't mean it? As long as Bowen dares to do bad things to Guo Xu, he and the Spurs will be scolded to death by fans this year, and CEO Stern will also punish them. It will be difficult for the Spurs to win the championship.
**Vic felt that Guo Xu was terrible at this time, and said some words openly, which not only left a good impression of him being very real and honest, but also added bargaining chips to the Suns to advance to the finals and received a lot of support.
Even if the Spurs win this series, it is inevitable to controversy. Those who expect the Suns to enter the finals and defend the title and create miracles will definitely find every referee's penalty that is beneficial to the Spurs in the game, or the small moves of Spurs players when defending, to criticize the Spurs.
At this time of the playoffs, it is inevitable that the defensive moves are big, and the players are very strong in confrontation because no team wants to lose. If Bowen doesn't make small moves, is Bowen still?
After reading the news, Duncan was convinced.
He had never spoken to Guo Xu, and when he met the All-Stars on weekends, he nodded and said hello. Some of Guo Xu's recent practices made Duncan feel that he was more like a college student who graduated from psychology than himself.
On May 24, the first battle between the two sides started in Phoenix City. China CCTV5 live broadcast, TNT live broadcast across the United States.
As usual, Guo Xu threw magnesium powder while warming up, which drove the home atmosphere. The sun did not need to send a unified T-shirt to boost morale. Many viewers used Guo Xu's No. 1 jersey as a jacket, which had already unified the colors.
Sun: Guo Xu, Blake, Bell, Haslem, Valaijo.
