Because of the World Championships, the NBA training camp opened a little later this year.

Some changes have occurred in the Suns coaching staff, and the first assistant coach Larry Drew was poached by the Hawks as the head coach.

The Hawks are mainly fast attacks. The management believes that Drew won three consecutive championships with the Suns. He will definitely be able to coach the team better with D'Antoni.

The Suns dug up Tom Thibodeau as the first assistant coach to replace Drew, a famous defensive coach in the league. Many coaches want to find jobs in the Suns, and the management can choose the people they are satisfied with. Brian Colangelo chose the one who is best at defense, which complements D'Antoni.

This was not Guo Xu's suggestion. He was making movies at that time. Brian knew basketball and knew who to look for.

After Jeff Van Gundy was fired, Thibodeau did not leave the Rockets and assisted Old Nelson for another year.

He was the head coach in the Rockets' summer league and led the Rockets to a complete victory for two consecutive years. This summer, the Kings invited him as the head coach, but Thibodeau refused and chose to be an assistant coach in the Suns, which was very unique.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Thibodeau has a good vision. Joining the Kings is a big pit. The ragged lineup will definitely not be able to achieve a record, which will affect your future development. It is better to go to the sun to gilt first.

He signed a three-year contract with the Suns. As long as he won the championship with the Suns, he would not have to worry about not having a strong team looking for him.

On October 4, the Suns held a media day at the home stadium, and the players made their debut together and accepted media interviews.

Speaking of the new season, Guo Xu said: "I think making movies in summer will be of great help to me. First, I relaxed, and second, I haven't played basketball for a long time, and now I have a strong desire to play."

No reporter refuted that even if he smokes for a long time and drinks for a long time, fans will believe him.

The reporter asked: "How do you feel in the state?"

"It's not bad, I can quickly find the pace of the game. The Suns are better this season than last season. There are many people on our team who can score, and my task has become simpler."

The reporter asked: "The Suns have changed half of the people this year. How do you evaluate your new teammates?"

"The rookies have great potential, and veterans can also use their experience to help the team. They are all suitable for the Suns' offensive system and will quickly integrate into the team."

The reporter asked: "Which teammate do you prefer the most?"

Guo Xu smiled and said, "Brendan Roy, I have seen him play in NCAA, and the style of the game is very suitable for the Suns. I am willing to pass the ball to him and help him win the best rookie of the season."

Roy was so happy to listen to it. Guo Xu spoke so well. Why would he lose weight during the holidays? Not to mention women, men are prone to fall in love with him. The Best Rookie Award player only has one chance in his life, and they all want it.

The reporter asked: "Roy's template is Jaren Rose. Do you think he can reach that height and become an All-Star in the future?"

"He played in the Suns, with me and Amare and Sean attracted defense. I think it's too low to use Rose as the template. His template should be Kobe. You know, even the template of Guy who is one of the lowest in the draft is Pippen."

The reporters all felt that Guo Xu had found big news and comments on his new teammates were really high.

In fact, among the newcomers, Lowry's template is the strongest, and it is the famous point guard Tim Hardaway, because he has a great breakthrough and is good at cross-step change. But no reporter thinks he can reach that height, and he doesn't ask Guo Xu this question.

The reporter asked about the player's injuries and asked coach D'Antoni to talk about his views.

"We should try to avoid this, and we will take more rotations this season to reduce the playing time between Amare and Sean, so that they can adapt slowly and get back the feeling of the game," he said.

The newcomers were interviewed and praised Guo Xu, and Lowry was ready to take him as his teacher.

Guo Xu was not polite, and he coached Lowry in the public training class the next day. The two of them faced each other, and Lowry was exposed to be particularly miserable.

Lowry is now playing solely. His sophomore season averages 11 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game, so he is not very good at draft picks. Compared with the rookies of the same year, he is also like a trivial little person.

NBA is a gathering place for basketball elites all over the world. Only real basketball experts can become superstars here. Guo Xu can play with Lowry without practicing for a summer.

He used two moves, dribbling under the crotch to catch a three-pointer and dribbling under the crotch to change direction and break through. Lowry was tortured very much. Guo Xu chose the next step based on Lowry's movements. Once Lowry retreated, he also retreated and shot. Lowry stepped forward and changed direction.

Lowry will also have problems with speed, so he can't just reach out. Once he reaches out, Guo Xu will hit the ball and make a foul. He throws the ball onto the free throw line.

This is Guo Xu's live teaching. "Don't stretch out your hand with people. If you like steals, you can't play for a few minutes in the rookie season, and it's all fouls."

"Don't jump around, just follow the defense and interfere with the shooting. If you jump so high, you just want to give someone a free throw. If you land on someone's feet, you'll be useless."

"If you have the chance to stop and jump shot, the first choice is to pass the ball. Don't make a layup against the big man. Can you hit a high shooting percentage like this? Your teammates have the ability to score."

When the fate ended, Lowry was sweating profusely.

D'Antoni called him to his side and asked with a smile: "How is it like playing against the star for the first time?"

"It's so scary, fortunately I joined the Suns." Lowry sighed.

"You don't have to be afraid. He is trying to improve you. After you get used to playing with him, you will feel that many guard stars are not worthy of their reputation." D'Antoni smiled and said, "Your shooting is not good. Practice more often in daily life, practice one by one."

Lowry breathed a sigh of relief and immediately figured it out. Not every defender is as good as Guo Xu. He is a person who averages 41 points per game, so it is normal for him to be unable to prevent it.

Judging from Lowry's scout report, most experts recognize his explosive power and ball control and pass skills. He likes to fight against his opponents physically and never fears the penalty area to fight with his opponents. However, his height is limited, and it is impossible for him to make a layup efficiency in 183cm always enters the inside line. No matter how powerful the breakthrough is, it is Iverson's inefficient 2-point play.

If he can't practice shooting well, he will not become a star.

After Lowry left the court, Guo Xu changed to pass the ball, so there was no need to abuse David Wesley. They came to support their elderly care, not to be abused.

He passed the ball to Roy with the ball, and used the off-ball style to run under the cover of his teammates to find a chance to catch the ball and take the phone.

The result was gratifying. Several people in the coaching staff chatted and felt that they had found the treasure this time. Guo Xu and Roy were born partners, and they had a good chemical reaction when they cooperated for the first time.

Roy can play singles with the ball, play pick-and-roll with his teammates at a high position, knows the weak side and observes his teammates' movements, attracting Guo Xu, who switches defense and passes the ball to the middle or passes it to the bottom line running.

Guo Xu can attract defense from the bottom corner when he is on a strong side, and find a big man to cover the bottom line to catch the ball on the weak side. The opponent's pursuit and defense slows down and he jumps for three-pointers, and he keeps the ball alone. As long as Valejo or Xiao Si who is covering him takes two steps and stands on the low post on one side, the opponent will not be able to double-team and will be free.

This was the usual routine of the three Lakers' Big Three, and the Suns often played. After Roy and Guo Xu were on the phone, in addition to practicing shooting during the holidays, they also found a lot of videos of the Suns' game, and they worked very hard.

His ball quotient is very high, and he can play whatever Joe Johnson plays, and imitate it directly. This is a shortcut to integrate into the team. Roy plays very smartly, and Howard never learns to play like this until he leaves.
