After defeating the Jazz, the Sun continued his road trip and challenged the Blazers back to back.

The Blazers were the league's highest-paid team before the start of training camp, reaching a horror of 105.61 million, excluding the luxury tax, which exceeded 100 million. Even more frightening is that the team is full of junk contracts.

Scott Pippen averaged 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.6 steals. The annual salary of Scott Pippen was $ 19.73 million; Damon Stardamer averaged 6.9 points and 3.5 assists. His annual salary was $ 12.38 million; The slowest in the league, Sabonis walking 6.85 million; 7-point and 7-rebound blue-collar veteran Dale Davis 8.06 million.

Even the Blazers' first core Rashid Wallace, the media also rated him with a high salary, because he never averaged 20 points per game in a season and averaged only 8.2 rebounds per game.

The nickname "Roaring Tianzun" sounds more fierce and domineering than "Big Shark". But in fact, Rashid got this nickname by roaring the referee to eat a technical foul. He is a power forward who eats by a jumper. He basically does not enter the penalty area and has no lethality. His career average is 4.3 free throws per game.

All the teams like the space inside. They can evacuate the penalty area to help the defender create a breakthrough space. Even if the hit rate is lower than the inside of the strong basket, the tactical role is very critical.

This style of insider tends to be an excellent second-hand player, and being a team leader is not so wonderful. They can't attract the teammates. Each team will choose a tall, maneuverable forward with single defense. As long as they can prevent three points, they will be half successful, and two-pointers will not shoot dead.

With Rashid's foul-making ability, he needs to score more than 10 goals in a single game to score 30 points. His shooting percentage is 50%. He has at least 25 shots. Can this efficiency be the boss?

Not to mention Rashid, even the more versatile Chris Webb did not lead the Kings to the Western Conference finals before Mike Bibby joined. At present, Garnett is the most efficient in the space type, because he can grab rebounds and have many assists, but he is the worst, and the level of his teammates is too poor ...

The Trail Blazers scored in the West in 2000 depended on the depth of the lineup, team basketball, not Rashid led the team. At that time, O'Neal was a marginal player, and it was strange that they were not strong.

The biggest headache for the Trail Blazers management is that they do not have the right players to rebuild around, let alone trade Rashid. Trading his team is completely abolished, and even the home attendance cannot be guaranteed.

Because of the butterfly effect, they failed to pick Zach Randolph in the 19th round of the first round in 2001. Now Lan Fatty went to Memphis as a "black bear" in advance.

The only good news for the Trail Blazers is that they lowered their annual salary before the game and bought out the "Rainman" Sean Camp of 6.1 points and 3.8 rebounds last season. After that, Camp freely joined the Magic.

For several years, the "high salary but low energy" label has been on Camp's head, making him breathless. Now, he can finally be a man easily, because he gave up 26.5 million dollars in salary. According to the original contract, Camp's revenue this season was 21.5 million US dollars, reaching 25 million in the 2003-2004 season. Now, the Blazers only need to pay Camp 20 million over the next 10 years.

If Camp stays and the Blazers' total salary exceeds 100 million, the team will pay a luxury tax of $ 45 million. In other words, his departure saved the Blazers more than $ 40 million in expenses, which is the best return that the "Rainman" has given Portland fans support for two years.

There will be some flash points on anyone, and Camp is no exception. His deeds of surprise have surprised everyone.

The game was broadcast live on TNT. When the players played, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith began to compare Damon Stardamer and Guo Xu.

When Guo Xu first entered the NBA, many people said that he was like "Little Flying Squirrel" Stardamer. Now when this surname is mentioned, the first thing everyone thinks of is the Suns rookie insider, not "Little Flying Squirrel". Today, Damon can only stay at home to watch TV because of injury, and will not play.

During the Raptors' era, he was flexible and confident in playing, with a broad vision of passing, and a combination of sudden points and shots. It was a tough role that caused headaches for countless opponents. Now, everyone feels that he is a high-paying and low-energy player, just a regular role player, and drags the whole team defensively.

Barkley belittled Damon, saying that he and Guo Xu had a huge gap, and Smith was fair.

Smith said: "I think Damon still has the strength. He only chose a team that was not suitable for him. He came to this step today. Jason is very smart. He first developed a feel for the Lakers and the star partner. Confidence, and then chose the sun that best suits his style. "

Buckley smiled and asked, "Do you mean that if Damon is in the Suns, he can play well?"

"He certainly won't be as good as Jason, but he will not be as bad as he is now. Players who want to become stars must join a team that suits their style of play. Damon had the opportunity to become an All-Star, he gave up this opportunity Now. "

In front of the TV, Damon wanted to cry after hearing the two's comments. He was frivolous when he thought he was a privileged player in the Raptors and would be reused by joining other teams. As a result, he didn't even count as three heads in the Blazers, and nobody in the dressing room took him seriously.

Now, Damon can only take care of the injury first in silence. No team will let him be the core, and he will definitely not return to the peak.

Guo Xu could not hear the commentary on the court. If he heard it, he would definitely agree with Smith's statement.

There are too many examples of nba in the previous life. Players play well on a team, and the transaction becomes obsolete. For example, Steve Francis, Aron Brooks, Monta Ellis, Deron Williams, etc., they left the system that suits them.

There are also examples of "people living in the nest", such as Nash, Gasol, Garnett, who has won the championship dream in the Green Army, etc., they have found their own suitable positions, become the boss or abdicate to become a second master.

The key to Guo Xu's success is to join the right team. If he went to the piston with an extremely slow offense and defense transition, and the periphery was emptied after the pick-and-roll, the speed of the air cut was not fast, and Ben Wallace, who was shooting 40% from the free throw as a partner, maybe he was crazy now.

No matter how much he grabs rebounds, how many caps he covers, and how his hairstyle explodes, Guo Xu, who advocates offensive, cannot like him.

The Pistons have only averaged 76 shots per game this season ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ What is this concept? When the former coach of the Suns, Frank Johnson, coached, the Suns averaged 80 shots per game. After he left, the Suns averaged 87 shots per game. Regardless of whether he entered or not, he threw the ball first.

Regardless of free throws, the Pistons are so slow that the team can't shoot 20 baskets. Obviously, this kind of team doesn't care about the data and doesn't move fast. The point guard who is good at half-time positions is more suitable for the Pistons. Guo Xu didn't go, now both have a good home.

There is no suspense in the game of the Suns against the Trail Blazers. Under the leadership of Guo Xu, Tan Yang scored a 10-point lead in the first quarter, and it was an advantage obtained by the positional battle.

The Trail Blazers started with a five-man back defense that was not slow and could run and run. Their weakness was that they did not have a point guard. The organization relied on two swingers, Pippen and Derek Anderson. And Guo Xu singled Anderson is the opportunity, directly misplaced.

In the second quarter, the Suns drove. The veteran Sabonis was replaced after only 3 minutes of play. In the counterattack, he did not return to halftime twice. The Suns made more layups and scored.

111 to 85 easily won two consecutive victories, the sun's record improved steadily.
