Chapter nine hundred and forty-seven [get enough fifteen people, and then won the first place]

Every year, several players with high salaries and low ability are traded. It is a good thing that Marion can go to the Wizards.

The Wizards' wings are the weakest. Marion will start when he goes and will get a lot of ball rights. Wall is also a point guard who is good at launching fast attacks.

At the last moment, the Suns also signed a veteran with a minimum salary and found Rashid Wallace, who was unemployed and at home.

This summer, "Roaring Tianzun" was particularly embarrassing. His hardcore fans were still boasting that he had no ball to play when he was playing "textbook-style" back. Although he did not announce his retirement and wanted to work hard to win a championship ring, his performance of less than 45% shooting percentage for seven consecutive seasons still stopped all teams.

Hardcore fans like to watch Rashid's straight-arm jump shots, but managers of each team don't like to watch his "textbook-style" ironshots.

The reason why the Suns had enough of the 15-man roster was because O'Neal was injured in late February.

In the game against the Bobcats, O'Neal ran forward during an offensive and defensive transition, without physical contact with anyone, suddenly limped on his right foot and then got off the court to rest.

O'Pang couldn't accept his old age. After the examination, he had an old foot injury recurred. He also had an old knee injury and could not withstand the collision. He had been hit once before and missed the game for two weeks due to swelling of his knee.

O'Neal chatted with Guo Xu and said that he would retire after playing this season. He would not force himself to hold on. It would be better to do something else if he often had to recover from his injuries at home. So the result of this season is more important. O'Neal hopes to win the championship with the team and end perfectly.

The Suns' signing Rashid as a substitute is barely useful. He can give the defender a pick-and-roll, catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, and this is the only advantage left. His speed can only play at the center on the defensive end, and his weight is only 104 kilograms and there is no rebound.

In March, the Suns lost 5 games and Roy was in a sluggish state. He averaged 30 minutes per game this month, with only 15.3 points and 3.8 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 43.4%.

Roy played health basketball like Ginobili, and was not seriously injured because of his restricted playing time. He was just a pure sluggish and could not find the rhythm and his singles efficiency decreased.

In this case, Guo Xu can only undertake more offensive tasks, take more moves and pass less.

D'Antoni asked Roy to find his condition during training, but changed to Richardson during the game. Guo Xu was on one side, attracting double-teams and he could pass the low-post inside or Richardson.

The middle-class contract signed Richardson Suns made a profit. He made a stable three-point shooting, and his average shooting percentage has remained above 40%.

In order to ensure the winning rate, Guo Xu also increased his playing time and often formed a double defender with Dragic.

Dragic, who is 191cm tall, suffers a loss in defense at the No. 2 position, and his advantage is that he launches a faster counterattack and makes his breakthrough sharper. After the inside players cover the positional battle, the two defenders are likely to get the opportunity to misalign the big ones.

This is not good at defending against the Suns, and the outside line interferes with poor shooting. Guo Xu is often faced with jump shots. Gasol Jr. switches to the pick-and-roll, and can only defend near the penalty area. When encountering a team with more than three-pointers, the Suns may lose, and both sides compete for their touch.

Before he knew it, Guo Xu's average playing time increased to 34.2 minutes, surpassing Durant's scoring data, ranking first in the league in averaging 29.2 points.

After the star game, Durant's data dropped a little, center Horford's condition improved and took action, and second-year DeRozan also gave him some of the ball rights.

In April, Guo Xu's number one goal has become a 30+10 data swipe, hoping to win both the scoring and assisting kings.

On April 1, the Clippers were in trouble. Guo Xu wanted to brush it, and the data would be very beautiful.

The Suns won 125-108 at home, and Guo Xu scored 62 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, easily defeating Byron Davis.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Clippers traded Byron Davis and the 2011 first-round draft pick to the Cavaliers in exchange for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon. In the summer of 2011, the Cavaliers were lucky to use that draft pick to draw the No. 1 pick and Kerry Irving.

Now the Cavaliers are not a reconstruction team. They are not too nervous to exchange for Davis, whose form has declined seriously, which will affect the team's championship this season. The Cavaliers won the second match against the Suns in March, which gave them a little hope, and they only want to trade to get combat power.

The boss Donald Sterling was very depressed not to send Davis away. He didn't know how important it was to keep the draft pick. Even if he didn't draw the No. 1 pick, there were many outstanding players behind him. They were better than digging Xiao Mo. In the summer, many players were sent to dig Chris Paul.

After a day off, the Suns defeated the Spurs 115-102 away, and Guo Xu scored 40 points and 12 assists.

Tony Parker almost cried by Guo Xu again. He made 2 of 11 shots, 0 of 2 of 3-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.

Popovich only let Parker play for 28 minutes. He no longer had the confidence to fight Guo Xu. Most of the shots were jump shots against others, and the scores were based on screens to break through the misaligned breakthrough.

George Hill's defense against Guo Xu was slightly better, and he couldn't beat the offensive end, and was also interfering with the next move.

After this game, the Suns ranked first in the league with 60 wins and 15 losses, the Spurs ranked second in the West with 57 wins and 19 losses, and the Cavaliers, with the best record in the East, had 58 wins, which was also two games behind the Suns.

Then the Suns lost to the Bulls and Mavericks. When they were against the Kings, Guo Xu made a tough game, scoring 55 points, 4 rebounds, 14 assists and 5 steals. Benno Yudri couldn't find Bei.

Yudri, who is 191cm tall, is a white point guard with a slow lateral movement speed. Guo Xu just changed directions and he couldn't keep up with the speed at all.

Substitutes Luther Hyde and Jermaine Taylor are worse, both of them tend to be shooting guards rather than point guards, and Harden is organizing the offense when he appears.

After letting Richardson go and Felton go, the Kings succeeded in killing themselves and ranked 14th in the West this season. Harden and Lopez cannot lead the team.

Richardson made 4 of 9 three-pointers, scoring 20 points in the game was the second scoring point of the Suns, causing the Kings fans to turn against each other at home. In fact, even if the Kings management wants to renew Richardson's contract, they can't stay, and the opponent is a completely free agent.

In the last game of the regular season, the Suns' opponent was the Spurs.

The Suns have secured the best record in the league in advance, and Guo Xu has also secured the scoring and assists, averaging 30.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 11.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game, shooting percentage of 48.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 89.8%.

If he hadn't had MVP for two consecutive times, there would be no suspense about MVP this year, but now he has little chance.

After discussing with Guo Xu, D'Antoni asked him to rest in the last game, and he only made a swipe of data when he appeared, which was meaningless. He could take a rest for one more game to avoid the possibility of injury.

Gasol Jr. also rested, and the Suns still beat the Spurs 108-104 at home, with five scoring in double digits.

The best performer in the team is Gotat, who played in 36 minutes, made 10 of 16 shots, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring a double-double of 21 points, 13 rebounds and 1 assist. He did not lose the way against Duncan, who only had 17 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

Roy was the second best performance, scoring 17 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

Parker failed to play against Dragic, making 4 of 12 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 12 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

Spurs fans are very depressed. Parker is now habitually turning into a soft-footed shrimp against the Suns. In this way, the two teams meet in the playoffs, how can the Spurs win?

The Suns ranked first in the league with a record of 65 wins and 17 losses. After watching this game, experts and fans are generally optimistic that the Suns will defend their title successfully. There seems to be no team in the West that can prevent them from advancing to the finals, and the East has always been inferior to the West.
