Chapter 729 [Unpopular, 20 consecutive victories! 】
After the game, many fans said that the Suns' deal for David Lee to exchange Kyle Lowry was a terrible loss.
David Lee has become an important rotation for the Nets, averaging 29 minutes per game, scoring 10.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 56.2%, similar to last season's data. In addition, David Lee is handsome and has gained a lot of fans in the New York area.
Suns fans all think this is a potential star in the inside and should send Valaijo away and leave David Lee behind.
In fact, the blue-collar inside line of Valaijo, such a frame-protected blue-collar line, is more important to the Suns. The ones selected at the end of the first round can be used until the summer of 2008. You can consider whether to renew the contract. Now there is a two-year buffer period, so the Suns management can also find a replacement.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the Cavaliers' contract renewal in 2008 was not cheap. They had a high salary of $48 million for 6 years. Even if he had poor offense, he had a value for renewal. You can tell by looking at the Cavaliers' regular season record.
What’s funny is that Valaijo doesn’t seem to be popular anywhere. Suns fans don’t like him and think his style is ugly. Cavaliers fans in the past don’t like him even more. There are people who boo him at home, thinking that his contract is too high. If he had the spirit of sacrifice like Haslem and signed with the middle class with a salary cut, then James would have taken it long ago... How could he be embarrassed to go to the Heat?
David Lee has good data, but his defense has not improved at all. He plays on the Nets with the center responsible for protecting rebounds, and Costic goes to defend the pick-and-roll. The other two insiders are not good at rebounding, and the Nets' poor defense is the key to the Suns' last laugh.
If you don't do a good job in the inside defense, the Nets will not go far in the Eastern Conference playoffs this season. Similarly, if the Suns are Sir and David Lee partnered with the inside, the penalty area defense will definitely be a mess, which will increase the difficulty of winning the championship.
The sun left New York and flew to Milwaukee. Guo Xu stayed in the hotel and didn't go out. He ate more good things and replenished his energy.
The next day, Guo Xu led the team to easily abuse the Bucks 116 to 90, and scored 32 points and 12 assists in his own personal score.
The Bucks are now recognized as weak teams, and even the Knicks dare to lose. They rely on double-gun in the backcourt Michael Reed, Mo Williams won the ball, betting on the shooting feel, and the inside Iliassova and Villanueva are also the types of shooting.
In 2005, the Bucks made it to the playoffs and failed to select No. 1 Bogut, but chose the "Nine-Finger Dunk King" swingman Gerald Green. He has super dunk skills and other abilities are average.
Back-to-back away against the Celtics Suns also easily won, with a big gap in strength between the two sides.
The Celtics have strong offenses, Pierce and Szebiak are both famous stars. Al Jefferson averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds per game, and had super strong offenses at low posts.
The team's weakness is No. 1 position, Deronti West is strong in offense and defense, but cannot defend Guo Xu.
The substitute Rajon Rondo was hard-working in defense and was completely unsure of shooting on the offensive end. Guo Xu wanted to let him go seven steps away, the distance of a poem.
Rudy Guy really doesn't have much chance of performing in the Celtics. He averaged 18.8 minutes per game, only 6.8 points, 3 rebounds, and 0.9 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 43%.
Like Tony Allen, Guy has terrifying physical qualities and is suitable for playing fast-paced games, but not for the Celtics. The head coach of the Celtics is Doug Rivers, who likes to fight positional battles.
As long as he keeps playing in the Celtics, it will be difficult for Guy to make a comeback in the rookie period. He will be a target of bargaining, but he doesn't know which team will pick him up.
Guo Xu felt that if he gave Marion to exchange Guy for the Suns, he would make a profit. He would not be able to make a data contract for four years. But it was not easy to trade. Their salary was too different, and the Suns would have to take a bad contract with the Celtics.
In addition, Marion wants to leave now. Guy is the rookie season. If you get data from the Suns early, it will be difficult to renew your contract in the future, just like Howard, who has joined the Timberwolves. At present, the Suns are not easy to train Guy, and young players with potential on the outside are already gathered.
In the last game of this away trip, the Suns easily defeated the Magic, ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference.
Magic players are terrifying in their talents, but they lack tactical core and rely more on players to solve problems by singles. Even if they finally make it to the playoffs, it will be very sad to be in the first round.
The Magic lacks super scorers, and Howard averaged 17.6 points per game in 37 minutes, which is the team's first scoring point.
Howard is a player who is concentrated in the penalty area in the scoring hot zone. He can only be efficient when he hits the basket. His close two-point shooting percentage is only 42% this season. He cannot attract double teams. After entering the basket, his opponent fouls in time and sent him to the free throw line.
Guo Xu created a butterfly effect, and it was difficult for Howard to become a superstar who claimed to be "single-for-James" at his peak like he did in his previous life. When Xiao Si participated in the dunk competition, he used Howard's two dunk ideas, especially the "Superman dunk" that made Xiao Si's fans a lot.
If Howard participates in the slam dunk contest in the future, he will be a plagiarism. As for mid-range shots, Howard will definitely not be able to practice in this life. He once made Ewing, who was an assistant coach in the Magic, feel broken in his previous life.
On the offensive end, he is good at relying on his youthful spirit and his physical fitness, and his terrifying physical fitness squeezed into the inside to perform a dunk, and won the nickname of "World of Warcraft". Once he encounters a strong force and can resist him from the center of the meat shield outside the penalty area, his scoring efficiency will be reduced. It is normal for him to be beaten by Yao Ming. After joining the Lakers, he was restricted by Chuck Hayes alone in defense.
Howard's basketball skills lasted for two lifetimes, dunked close to the basket, turned around and hooked, and his second move was often useless.
Grant Hill returned after being reimbursed for a serious injury last season, and could no longer feel like he was attacking and became a role player who averaged 14 points per game.
Jordan's successor was a super bad contract. In 2000, he signed a seven-year, high salary of 93 million yuan with the Magic. He was reimbursed in less than 30 games in four seasons, and he did not play a single game in the 2003-04 season. He only played 67 games in the season with the highest attendance rate.
Next summer, the Magic can finally get rid of Hill's big burden and free up the salary space to introduce big-name free agents. This will be the key to their rise. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Magic dug up Supersonic striker Rashad Lewis and reached the finals.
Hill's fate has to be a big question mark. In his previous life, he joined the Suns with two years of low salary in 2007. With the help of the miracle doctor Carter, he guaranteed his attendance rate and played well for four seasons. He is an excellent role player.
The current Suns don't need Hill. The coaching staff wants a swingman who can shoot three-pointers. Anthony Parker, who is substitute, plays more efficiently than him. Hill can break through and shoot mid-range shots, but he hardly shoots three-pointers.
Magic's substitute center Bynum is also a very easy target to get a bargain. He has super physical fitness, but is not suitable to play with Howard. He averaged only 21.3 minutes this season, scored 7.6 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.6 blocks, and his efficiency is pretty good.
The Magic Management is ready to trade Bynum and wants to exchange for potential young wingers, but has not found a suitable partner for the time being.
After this victory, the Suns had already won 20 consecutive victories at the beginning, which shocked everyone.
Teams predicted by experts that can create threats to the Suns fell one by one at their feet. As long as the Suns increase the star's playing time in key games, it will be difficult for their opponents to defend themselves.
Because of the large number of rotations, the players' physical strength is guaranteed, and the Suns have no serious injuries.
