Chapter 354: [New people will grow, the future is Guo Xu]

In the life-and-death battle, several Suns rookies have varying degrees of abnormal performance.
Haslem's vacancy in the open space is not allowed, and the single defense cannot limit Duncan. The coach's task is too difficult for the strong man. His defensive method can deal with Duncan occasionally. Once the opponent finds the shooting feeling, he is dumbfounded.
Haslem is 203CM tall and 211CM in wingspan. His talent is not bad, but Duncan is a monster with a 213CM and 230CM wingspan. He tiptoeed and his hands could touch the basket. Even if he can't shoot, he can't be blocked by ordinary people.
Stoudemire and Nene were trapped in joint defense, and it was not easy to enter the restricted area. The offensive threats were greatly reduced.
The Spurs are useless on the defensive end. "Duncan" is a big man in the penalty area. Marrick Rose, Bruce Bowen and Stephen Jackson played together for a long time. The position is ambiguous, which speeds up the perimeter defense. The shifting position not only interferes with shooting, but also shrinks near the penalty area at any time, helping Duncan protect the backcourt rebounds.
Sun 2002 first-round rookie Jacquesson, this series is too courageous, playing softly, the coach did not use him at all.
In the second half, D'Antoni stepped up his offensive to evacuate the inside and began to reuse Kukochi, which was a failure.
When he was young, Kukoc mainly played small forwards. Although he was experienced, he played mainly on the offensive end. He never proved his defense in the 4th position.
Regardless of whether he played Duncan or Ross, Kukoc was in the disadvantage. The Suns flanked for defense. Duncan passed the ball to let his peripheral teammates shoot. He played this way every time, with a stable 20 + 10, and his expression was unchanged.
People can't see Duncan's panic, even if he loses the battle of the Heavenly King Mountain, he can play as he always did.
When the Suns sent a big lineup, Ginobili and Parker also scored a lot of points in the pick-and-roll breakthrough.
The Suns' rookie is down, mainly relying on Guo Xu, Marion, Joe Johnson, three others, when the counterattack is determined to shoot the wave.
At the end of the quarter, the three men's shooting rate also began to decline, with 7 minutes left to end the game, and the Sun was 20 points behind.
They are also unable to maintain an ordinary heart throughout the game and want to win or lose.
This is not the same as in the second round, winning the Mavericks is only going to the Western Conference, a long way from the championship. What about this series? Many people think that the Western Conference can win the championship, and it is a pity to be eliminated in this case.
In the second half, the Sun used extreme tactics. Two big insiders helped Guo Xu cover. He shot when he got the chance, attracting the double-team and then dividing the ball. Guo Xu made 6 of 14 shots in the final quarter, made 4 of 10 shots from the three-point line, made 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points in a single quarter.
The Spurs did not replace Duncan, Parker and other main forces, but also can combine scores internally and externally, the sun is too far behind to catch up.
Guo Xu played 46 minutes and scored 43 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. He looked like a shooting guard. His shooting percentage was 45%, and his three-point percentage was 40%. He scored 8 three-pointers.
Zhang Zhengli said regretfully: "Guo Xu is only one step away from the three consecutive championships in his career. The Sun wins young and loses young."
Xu Jicheng said: "It's just a season of running in. Solar energy is very successful at this level, and they will be stronger in the future. I think it is a matter of time before they win the championship. They just lack a good center that can prevent the restricted area. . "
After the press conference, the reporter focused on interviewing several stars on both sides.
Guo Xu said: "I was a bit depressed to be eliminated, but everyone has done a good job. At the beginning of the season, not many people are optimistic about the Suns entering the playoffs, even including our former head coach. We have achieved Very good results. "
The reporter asked: "What do you think the Suns are missing from the champion now?"
"It's game experience. Many people are playing for the first time in the playoffs, and their performance is very unstable. I believe that the Suns will be stronger next year because everyone has accumulated a lot of experience."
Sun's other players were interviewed, and Stoudemire and Marion held Guo Xu up.
Stoudemire also apologized to Guo Xu, saying that he dragged the team's hind legs. Although he averaged 15.5 points and 8 rebounds per game in the playoffs, he was miserably targeted by the Spurs. The Western Conference averaged 12.3 points and 7.7 rebounds The assist was completely exploded by Duncan.
Everyone will forgive Stoudemire. He has already performed very well. If he does a mutual explosion with Duncan in the first grade, he will rule the league for 10 years in the future. No newcomer in active duty can do this.
Joe Johnson, who scored 17 points, was completely paralyzed. He was particularly confident in answering questions and basically answered in one word. "Yes." "Yes." "Sorry." "Confident."
He will not apologize to anyone, and the Western Conference performed well, becoming the team's third scoring point, averaging 16 points per game.
Vicki admitted that the Suns are the enemy of the Spurs in the future. "The rising speed of the Sun is surprising. I think they will be championship contenders for a long time in the future, but the Spurs are not bad, and new people will grow."
The old man also highlighted several players. Ginobili and Parker played better than the regular season in the playoffs, providing the team with offensive firepower. Bowen and Jackson stabilized the perimeter defense.
The old man did not mention Duncan very much, saying that he has been boring over the years, let others comment on it.
Sun's elimination did not reduce Guo Xu's popularity, but increased it. Posts after the game were full of discussions on the Internet.
Because Guo Xu successfully won the MVP in the regular season, the postseason data was better than the regular season, averaging 28.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 10.6 assists, almost hitting 30 + 10. He has done a great job, losing because of his teammates wasting some opportunities.
Marion's weaknesses have become apparent, and fans generally think he is not a qualified second-hand player. He averaged 19.3 points and 9.2 rebounds in the regular season and was not selected as the best team. He couldn't hold the ball and attacked. The beautiful data required fast breaks and teammate passes. Once the position fell, Marion's scoring efficiency would decrease.
In fact, even if Marion's efficiency is not reduced, the Spurs have a way to deal with him, because most of the time he is against Bowen, when the unstoppable, the "three uncle" feet will follow him below.
President David Stern saw a bit of regret after seeing the result. The ratings of the Western Conference were greatly improved compared to last season. After Guo Xu left the Lakers, the competition became fierce. This year's Finals Spurs broke the Lakers' monopoly to enter the finals. It's a bit of a suspense against the Nets, but it's not as concerned as the Suns.
In fact, as long as Stern asked the referee to give the Suns a little more home whistle, the Spurs in Game 6 would be difficult to play, and maybe neither side could make a tie-break. But he is not as bottom-line as Adam Silva. He knows that the key to competitive sports is not star show, but competition, so the Pistons and Spurs teams are allowed to enter the finals.
Although Stern has always had a lot of controversy, such as manipulating the draft, he does not like the star team, he is good at maintaining the balance of the league. After he became the president, the NBA has never seen a team with four consecutive championships.
In Guo Xu ’s previous life, the future NBA will soon become a show. Two or three teams compete for championships every year. The Warriors ’three giants’ 73 victory over Silva is not enough. They helped them form the Big Four and the Big Five in 18 years. .
Guo Xu didn't see 19 years, but he couldn't think of how other teams could defeat the Big Five. Silva was translated into "Xiao Hua" by the Chinese media, which is not unreasonable. He is really a "joke".
Stern hopes that Guo Xu will lead the Suns to compete for the championship with strength, and will not hold him the champion. He believes that the future is Guo Xu.
