Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 966: [Purely nonsense, health basketball]
At the press conference, D'Antoni highlighted Klay Thompson. "He is an excellent three-point shooter. He has an active defense and is fully adapted to the pace of the NBA game. He can serve as a starter and help the team defend."
Originally, the coaching staff prepared to control Thompson's playing time within 25 minutes, and slowly accumulated experience. As a result, he was excellent in attack and defense. D'Antoni couldn't help but let him play for 30 minutes.
The reporter also asked D'Antoni to comment on Guo Xu's performance and felt he scored a little less today.
D'Antoni said: "Jason's status is no problem, he just wants to help the newcomer to integrate into the team as soon as possible, so reducing the number of shots is a sacrifice."
When Guo Xu was interviewed, the reporter asked about his weight gain.
Guo Xuyi seriously said: "A lot of people have always questioned my defense. Since entering the NBA, because of my bad defense, my team has been eliminated twice in the playoffs. I was very painful when I thought about this. I ca n’t sleep at night. So I ’m working hard to gain weight in the summer, I want to enhance my ability to fight, and strive to play better on the defensive end this season. "
There was a burst of laughter in the meeting room. Shente tried hard to gain weight. You obviously ate too much.
In his 12 seasons in his career, he has only been eliminated twice in the playoffs. Are you boasting?
At the Warriors press conference, everyone talked very little, except for Kobe, he was very dissatisfied with the team's defense.
People had seen Kobe's roar art in the last playoffs. He was often dissatisfied with Curry's defense on the court.
As the team's boss, roaring teammates is not new, Kobe is such a boss. If something that he thinks is wrong, Kobe will definitely be emotional, not only facing opponents and referees, but also pointing directly to teammates and coaches. Among them, the most terrible thing is his death stare.
Curry was like a kid who made mistakes, and he didn't dare to refute it. After the game, the media broke the news. In the locker room, Kobe and Curry had no communication at all, and Curry was hiding from him.
Online Warriors fans set off another wave of offers to trade Curry. Although Guo Xu only scored 14 points this time, it must be Curry ’s fault to lose, so no analysis is necessary.
In fact, the biggest problem for the Warriors is the head coach, "Little General" Johnson is a fatal weakness.
Johnson has a very good reputation in the league both in the player era and the coach era.
In the era of players, Johnson was humble and studious, and he dared to be outspoken and outspoken in the court and the locker room, which made him the favorite player of the coach and the most respected locker room boss. Popovich likes to call him a "court assistant", and Tim Duncan calls himself a "little brother" in front of him, which is why the Spurs will retire his No. 6 jersey.
In the coaching era, Johnson was very concerned about his players. He once said in an interview: "The most important thing is that I maintain a good relationship with the players. We often eat together. I care about their family situation. I hope I can reach out in my life. To support them, not just when they are scoring goals. I have my own way of coaching. We all feel that this can have an effect, so when I yell at them, they always accept it correctly. . "
But perhaps it is too kind to the players. Johnson's team always seems to be brave in the face of difficulties. The regular season is not bad. The playoffs have been defeated repeatedly. Many people now say he is a puppet coach and can't control Kobe.
On the 26th, the Suns faced the Hornets back to back at home.
Guo Xu is mainly based on passing, rarely breaks through in positional battles, attracts defense outside the three-point line, and occasionally makes a single.
The match between Guo Xu and Owen is the focus of media promotion, but it is the Suns who grabbed the spotlight. Whiteside, the substitute, scored 16 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks in 21 minutes.
In the third quarter of the game, garbage time was entered. The Sun substitutes had a lot of performance opportunities. Outside Thomas also scored 12 points and 4 assists. He was suitable for playing pick-and-roll tactics.
Guo Xu played 30 minutes, 5 of 10 shots, 3 of 6 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and got 15 points and 12 assists.
Gasol Jr. also had an eye-catching performance, 8 of 12 shots, 5 of 6 free throws, 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Hornets' inside Kaman and Hayes are not suitable for playing together, one is strong and the other is weak.
Owen's career debut was disappointing. He dared to challenge Guo Xu. He held the ball multiple times and played 2 of 12 shots in 26 minutes, 1 of 5 3-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, 6 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.
Guo Xu gave a good lesson to the new champion, so that Owen could not break through again and again and kept interrupting the shot in front of him. Guo Xu also disturbs Owen's offensive rhythm with small movements, not asking for blocks, just interfering.
Owen looks very rough, and it is not uncommon to force a breakthrough and hit the person's arms and then divide the ball. He is not a good organizer. The Hornets want to enter the playoffs, they must dig the star to partner with Owen.
Owen felt that the media said that Guo Xu's defensive difference was purely nonsense. During the matchup, he couldn't take the opponent completely. The technical breakthrough didn't work, and the speed and confrontation suffered.
He was helpless when defending Guo Xu. Guo Xu guarded the ball to find his teammates. He couldn't intercept the ball or block the pass. Guo Xu passed the ball behind his back, passed the ball behind his head, and hit the ground. He often passed the ball without reacting.
He couldn't relax yet, as long as the reaction was a little slower or the traverse step was larger, Guo Xu immediately turned in the opposite direction as if he knew what he was thinking in his heart, which was terrible.
Owen is not as good as Curry. He has to practice for many years to become a star. His playing style is more like a shooting guard and he needs to learn to control the rhythm.
The sun rested for two days, and the third game away against the Magic, easily won 23 points.
Guo Xu once again scored a double-double, played 34 minutes, got 21 points, 2 rebounds and 14 assists.
The Magic's lineup has become chaotic. Last season, they came to Arenas and were punished by the Wizards. Arenas can no longer find the scoring feeling, shooting less than 40%.
He averaged 21.8 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists, shooting 34.4% from the field and 27.5% from three. His performance is far inferior to Jameer Nelson, only starting two games in the Magic.
The most frightening thing is that Arenas ’contract is about the same as Guo Xu ’s. The Wizards paid $ 125 million for 6 years when he renewed him in 2008. The Magic traded him to save the Wizards ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Arenas even It was only 32 years old in 2014, and it was still a year of fighting. No one expected that he would decline so fast.
As soon as the free market opened, Arenas was cut by Magic using amnesty clauses. This result will not be surprising. In the previous predictions of many media, Arenas was on the list. Some media, reporters and even laughed that this clause can be named "Arenas clause."
You know, Arenas is still carrying a three-year contract of 62.3 million US dollars. His salary this season is as high as 19.27 million US dollars. His contract will not expire until the summer of 2014. The Magic had previously traded away Marion in vain, and threw 60 million in vain. They were reluctant to give O'Neal 60 million.
Then, the Magic dug a new hole, they sent Brandon Bass, from the Celtics got Glen Davis and Vaughn Weaver. Howard likes to defend the restricted area and protect the rebound. The management said that he did not want Howard to go, but a fat man who could not prevent the pick-and-roll was traded with him. The manager's brain circuit was obviously different from that of normal people.
Guo Xu scored 20 points only once in three games and started playing health basketball.
