Chapter 855 [Winning odds, season surprises]

In Guo Xu's previous life, LeBron James of the Cavaliers won the regular season MVP in 2009, and achieved the best record in the league with 66 wins.

James has already won the MVP once in this life. It will be difficult for him to lead the team to get the best record this season. If he is just the first place in the Eastern Conference, it will definitely be huge controversy to win the award. The judges can say that the Suns stars are in a group, isn’t the Cavaliers?

After Mo Williams joined, the Cavaliers formed an offensive trident. They were not the Big Three but were suspected of being in a group. This season, their total salary reached 91 million US dollars, ranking second in the league after 96 million Knicks and fourth in the last season.

Let’s look at the Suns again. Two maximum salary one is middle-class, while the others are low-paying players, with a total salary of $51 million. Roy was selected as the Western Conference All-Star last season, but he was a rookie selected by the Suns to train himself.

Compared with the salary comparison between the two teams, the Cavaliers can't get the best record and give MVP to James. He must be the president's biological father.

Another team in the Eastern Conference that may achieve the best record is the Celtics. The Big Three teams work together to share the ball rights. Each player averages less than 15 shots, and the score of about 20 points will not be higher.

Yao Ming didn't make many moves with the Rockets. He didn't gain weight like he did in his previous life. He averaged less than 35 minutes per game. This season only had 33 minutes. With the way he pulled out to cover his teammates, he didn't always have to ask for a strong ball at a low post. Yao Ming maintained a good health, but his data was not very good, and he averaged about 20 points per game.

Yao Ming's weakness has always been physical fitness, and his figure is destined to be more expensive than others. He played in the finals last season and played in the Olympics in the summer. With such a high-intensity game, Guo Xu felt that he would be lucky if he was not injured this season. The Rockets coaching staff obviously thought of this and strictly controlled his playing time.

This season, Guo Xu does have a high chance of getting MVP. As long as his data is similar to last season, it will be enough. At that time, the league will have to consider the ideas of 6 billion fans.

Espn live broadcasting the game, with commentators being former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson.

Before the game started, Jackson teased Van Gundy and talked about the fact that he could not pass the first round in coaching with the Rockets.

Van Gundy has been a commentator for three years and has watched too many fast-paced games. He admitted that his coaching ideas were problematic. "Yao Ming is in good shape now. If he is heavier, it will be difficult to keep up with the pace of the game. Jason Guo changed the NBA, and the inside line is now starting to pull out and shoot three-pointers. Mark, what do you think?"

"If I join the league 20 years later, I should be more enjoyable." Jackson sighed.

Jackson is a famous point guard in the NBA. He entered the league in 1987 and scored 13.6 points and 10.6 assists in the rookie season. He was elected the best rookie as a rookie in the second round. He is still a point guard who can make three-pointers, but in that era, it was not popular to shoot three-pointers, so he made fewer moves.

Even if he was not born in an era that suited his style, Jackson's career was very successful. He had a total of 10,334 assists in the regular season, ranking third in NBA history. Currently, only Stockton and Kidd are ahead of him. He averaged 8 assists per game in his regular season, ranking 17th in history.

After the players on both sides appeared, Guo Xu and Yao Ming greeted each other and chatted in Chinese, first with courtesy and then with soldiers. Neither team's core was the kind of person who relied on glaring on others to show his desire to win, so they rarely exclaimed when playing against each other.

Gasol Jr. is back today, and the other four are Guo Xu, Morrow, Roy, and Xiao Si.

Flesh shields are an indispensable choice for dealing with high center forwards. The Suns chose Gasol Jr. to replace Valejo's defense zone. He could put Yao Ming out of the penalty zone. If he could make Xiao Si play center forward, he would suffer a lot of height and weight.

Rockets: Billups, Avraro, Prince, Scola, Yao Ming.

Yao Ming won the jump ball and the game began.

Billups received the ball and passed the halfway point. Yao Ming pulled out to play pick-and-roll in the middle. Guo Xu quickly retreated and walked away from the cover to chase and defend. Billups took the ball to the left and passed it to the middle.

Sir Xiao defended and interfered with the shooting in front of Yao Ming, while Gasol Xiao defended near the penalty area. This kind of double-tower mixed defense was specially arranged by Thibodu, to give full play to the players' strengths.

Yao Ming didn't have the chance to take a shot easily, so he passed the ball to Prince on the right.

Prince has a height advantage against Roy. If he plays alone, the Suns' defensive pressure will be much less. He is a person who can do anything, has no tricks, and is a character player who defends strongly and attacks weakly.

Prince's desire to attack has always been weak, and he passed the ball to Scola with a strike.

Scola used the ball to sway the face frame and broke through but failed to pass Gasol. He leaned back and turned to the middle to sway. His movements were very smooth, but Gasol did not jump or lose his position, and raised his arms to interfere.

Scola's right-hand throw avoided the block and the ball went out.

The center of the meat shield can interfere with the opponent by blocking the opponent, which is their advantage. Gasol has encountered many inside players in Europe, and Scola has also mastered his skills in Europe, and he has met his opponent.

Xiao Si grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack. Guo Xu dribbled the ball towards Billups, with a very low center of gravity. When he hit him quickly, he redirected to break through. Billups suffered a loss in defense and his retreat speed was not enough. If he retreated too far, it wouldn't work. Guo Xu could stop and rush to shoot three points.

After Guo Xu passed the ball, he rushed to the inside and made a three-step layup without waiting for Yao Ming to run back to the basket. 2 to 0.

Van Gundy sighed: "He is too fast. He can kill the basket in a few seconds with one dragon in the backcourt. Billups can't defend alone."

Jackson said: "As long as Jason wants to score, no one else can defend against it."

When the Rockets attacked, Yao Ming went to the low post on the right and asked the ball to fight Gasol Jr., but was pushed out of the penalty area.

Although Gasol is fat, he is actually excellent in combat power. His game experience is much richer than Jordan Jr., which can make up for the lack of athletic ability to a certain extent. D'Antoni will send him when he needs to guard against stars, and only consider Jordan Jr. when he needs to strengthen his rebounding and fast break.

He has a lot of strength, but his explosive power is poor. It doesn't matter if he doesn't jump on the defensive end. He can still interfere with his shooting with a height of 216cm and a 230cm wingspan.

Compared with Gasol Jr., Yao Ming's 220cm Tyrannosaurus Rex arm span is a tragedy.

Yao Ming leaned back and couldn't squeeze, turned to the baseline and jumped back and missed. Gasol's defense was in place, almost interfering with it. Gasol could not block it, and Yao Ming could also score based on his feelings. This time he was not sure about his feel and the distance from the basket was a bit far away.

This is the value of Gasol Jr. There is a clear gap between Yao Ming's shooting and two-point shooting percentages from close range.

Gasol Jr. got the rebound and it was easier to find his teammates without jumping, and turned around and passed it to Roy not far away.

Roy launched a fast attack and was blocked by Avraro with only one step. He failed to advance quickly, and Guo Xubai ran away.

Avraro is the Rockets' surprise this season. He is very hard-working in defense and better than Sefrosa's three-point shooting ability. He averages 1.4 goals per game and has a shooting percentage of 40.9%, so he is appreciated by old Nelson.

When Avraro, Billups and Yao Ming form a triangle on the strong side, it will be difficult for the opponent to double-team the low post. Last season, they could short one of Prince and Safrosha's double-team Yao Ming, and those two mid-range and long-range shots were not good enough.
