Chapter 846: [Slam dunk contest, many highlights]

On October 1, the Suns held a media day at the home stadium.
Guo Xu, Stardamer, Roy, Grant Hill, Haslem took the core makeup photos, and it is expected to be the starting lineup for the new season.
Guo Xu said in an interview: "Our goal for the new season is the championship. If we don't get it, we will lose. I personally have 100% confidence in defeating all opponents. The loss last season was just because of bad luck."
The reporter asked: "Summer Sun has not introduced big-name free agents with salary space. How do you view the team's reinforcement?"
"I'm very satisfied with the operation of the team, and now the Suns' lineup is very strong."
Guo Xu also commented on his new teammates. Even if he lost to rookie Anthony Morrow, he played an exhibition game with Jamario Moon, who also expressed his optimism.
"I believe they can make a difference, and I believe they have the potential to dig. They just need to run and throw the ball when they receive my pass. It's a simple job."
The new teammates exaggerated Guo Xulai's spare no effort. Gerald Green said: "He is the best player in NBA history. It is my honor to be a teammate with him. I can't wait to cooperate with him."
Gasol Jr. said: "The two games against the United States in the Olympic Games are my nightmares. Now it is my turn and Jason's team to let others have nightmares."
After accepting the interview, Guo Xu invited his teammates to dinner together. D'Antoni briefly talked about the tactics, that is, running up, running on both ends of the offense and defense. Only Gasol Jr. doesn't need a fast break, he can't run at a glance.
The positional battle is equally simple, pull the ball and hand it to Guo Xu to deal with, the Sun's tactics are so simple and rude, and effective.
The next day was an open training session. The performance of the Sun Newcomers surprised fans who attended the training. They are not playing like a team match, they are more like an All-Star game, and even more exciting than a dunk in the All-Star game.
Green has a good physical fitness. Everyone knows that his rebounding ability is probably the first in the league. He can change his dunk barefoot and can blow out the birthday cake candles placed on the basket while dunking.
What people did not expect is that 28-year-old rookie Moon is also such a trapeze, his head is super frame when dunking.
The two men defended well based on their physical superiority. They were both 203cm tall and weighed 93kg. The speed was only slightly weaker.
In the counterattack, Guo Xu repeatedly sent out empty catches, Green staged a right-handed windmill with a flat head, and Moon had two long-range gliding dunks, one of which took a step away from the free throw line.
The Suns picked up another leak, Green was seriously underestimated, and Moon was one year late in the league. In Guo Xu ’s previous life, Moon joined the Raptors in 2007. Now the Raptors have Marvin Williams, There is no shortage of small forwards and he has not signed him.
Morrow's physical fitness is worse, but his three-point ability is first-class even if it is not top-level, and the vacancy is very certain.
Among the inside players, Stoudemire, Gortat, Jordan Jr. also dunked at the first opportunity.
Jordan's style is the most fierce, more fierce than Stoudemire. After the pick-and-roll, he opened the air quickly. When he received the ball, it was a dunk. His hands were empty and the one-handed buckle was unstoppable. There can be no fierce fouls between teammates in the training game. This is the best place for Jordan to play.
Because his teammates didn't foul, Jordan scored a lot of points and hadn't exposed his weakness in free throws.
His performance made the fans stunned. In the first round, the 28th place was able to pick such a strong insider.
In Guo Xu's previous life, no one was interested in the Jordan draft. It was really puzzling to be selected by the Clippers in the second round. Even if he is a rough guy, he can't practice his offensive skills, and his physical condition is worth choosing. At least he is an excellent blue collar.
Considering that Hashim Thabbit was the No. 2 in 2009, it can only be explained by the fact that most teams' scouts are mentally retarded.
"Polish Hammer" Gortat gradually adapted to the Sun's game rhythm after a season of running-in. He also moved down quickly after pick-and-roll and was not vegetarian. He also has a good low footsteps, but his range is almost.
No matter how beautiful the deduction is, there are only two points. The inside shot who can shoot is the star. Stoudemire can go inside and out, catching two three-pointers after catching a pick-and-roll in the middle. Summer's hard training has yielded results.
It's a pity that he only has one point on the middle road and can't practice on both sides. He tried it but couldn't.
It is worth mentioning that Millsap also practiced three-pointers in the summer and made two in the training game. His CIC was also better than last season. In the first training class, he performed better than Haslem, who is not necessarily the starter of the new season.
The worst inside player is Gasol Jr., who is the only slow-moving player in the team and can only defend near the penalty area. His ability to protect the rebounds in the backcourt is not very good.
The team must have a capable meat shield center. Gasol Jr. can be called an offensive and defensive balance, but there is no room for him to play in the team's training game, because all teammates are not likes to play with backs.
Offensive Gasol's task is to give his teammates no ball shield on the bottom line and side, and then catch the ball or hit the ball and cut the ball to the basket. Embarrassingly, Gortat and Stoudemire can resist him, who is one size bigger.
He is empty and has too much explosive power, similar to the jazz's "big white bear" Ostertag. He was not deep enough when playing back, which caused his footsteps to be false in singles, hooks and shots were far away from the basket, and the feeling was not very soft.
Until now, no one believes that Gasol Jr. will be able to gain a foothold in the NBA. Many experts say he was seriously overestimated before he was selected at the end of the first round. In the matchup, Gasol Jr. made 1 of 5 shots and scored 2 points.
Guo Xu didn't shoot much against the game. Unselfish passes helped his teammates create opportunities. The best outside player was Roy. If Roy was selected in the All-Star Game last season because of the league's favor, now he definitely has the strength of an All-Star.
Roy practiced shooting in the summer and imitated Guo Xu's style of play, which was different from last season.
He usually runs to catch the ball to find a three-point mobile phone meeting, attracting the ball after the defense to find the space. When the ball is given to the inside of the cut, he will use European steps to break through the touch and touch the porcelain. After taking the jump shot.
Roy abandoned the two techniques of drastically changing the direction of running and full-strength pull-out layup. After two seasons, the Sun coaching team has made a significant improvement on him.
Roy played in the past life like Derrick Rose ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Now he is more like James Harden after joining the Rockets. He has developed a good habit of not jumping and playing on the rhythm.
Roy, who added more three-pointers, as long as his shooting percentage can be guaranteed at 37% as he did last season, his scoring efficiency and true shooting percentage will be much higher, reaching about 60%.
Roy's long-range two-point percentage accounted for 30.3% last season, hitting 2.1 goals in 4.8 attempts and a shooting percentage of 44.2%. This data is very eye-catching among shooting guards, more accurate than the peak season of the "four quarterbacks", but D'Antoni asked him to take a three-pointer, and it is best to not shoot two large twos.
Either take a step closer or take a step further. The outside player who shoots more than two points is unable to get past D'Antoni. Of course, if the opponent does this, D'Antoni has to applaud him on the sidelines. He likes this kind of talent.
Of course, someone has to vote in the middle distance. The task is Haslem and Hill, because the two men's three-point training can not come out, you can give up trying, CIC is their important means of scoring.
After the public training session, the fans applauded, and the meaning was still not enough ...
