Chapter 582 [Your Uncle Will Always Be Your Uncle]

Guo Xu averaged 33.3 minutes per game in the preseason, scoring 18.4 points, 2 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals, shooting 55.6% from the field, 42% from the three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line.

Five members of the team averaged double figures in the preseason. Marion averaged 36 minutes per game, scoring a double-double of 20.1 points and 10.4 rebounds, shooting 52% from the field.

Howard averaged 34.8 minutes per game, scored 17.4 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and shot 47.2% from the field. He became the team's third scoring point, taking over Joe Johnson's position. His scoring efficiency is not inferior to "Isolation Joe", but his organizational ability is better. Difference.

Bell can catch and shoot accurately and can also participate in fast breaks. He shot 45.4% from three-point range and averaged 11 points per game.

David Lee does well in mid-range shots and follow-throughs after pick-and-rolls. On the defensive end, he can grab backcourt rebounds and pass them to start a counterattack. He averaged 10.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.2 minutes per game, and shot 59.6% from the field.

David Lee can play a tactical role now, because he is only the No. 30 rookie and is seriously underestimated. When opponents double-team Guo Xu, they usually leave him open. When Guo Xu passes the ball, he scores, and his hit rate is ridiculously high.

Many experts were shocked after looking at David Lee's data. Why is it easier for him to score in the NBA than in college? This is so unscientific!

Blake, Haslem, Varejao, Ariza, Jones and others also performed well on the court, but their scoring ability was slightly lower and they were very active on the defensive end.

The two veterans, Payton and Kukoc, did not play much, giving time to train the newcomers.

In the last game, the Suns beat the Warriors by 23 points. Guo Xu broke through the heavy point guard Baron Davis again and again, creating fast break scoring opportunities for his teammates, easily scoring 15 points, 18 assists and 3 steals.

At the post-match press conference, Guo Xu was interviewed by reporters and became the focus of the league again.

The reporter asked: "The Suns achieved their best record in the preseason despite missing three important players. What do you think is the key?"

Guo Xu smiled and said: "The key is that many people say that the Suns are finished and completely useless. My teammates are very angry and play every game with all their strength. Although I have no desire to win and only give assists, the Suns actually win Oh, what a surprise."

Recently, many people on the Internet said that Guo Xu relies on Stoudemire and Nene for assists. He couldn't help but agree, and the whole audience was in an uproar.

The reporter asked: "What is the Suns' goal for the new season?"

Guo Xu said lazily: "I read on the Internet that all teams are ready to take care of the Suns.

Therefore, our goal in the new season is to perform well and win the No. 1 pick. However, judging from the performance in the preseason, this goal seems difficult to achieve. "

This is no longer a slap in the face, he is pushing those who do not value the sun to the ground and stepping on their faces. Many reporters at the scene were a little embarrassed. They had also predicted that the sun would be over.

A reporter asked: "The Suns still have one spot open. Will they trade or sign before the opening game?"

"This depends on the management's arrangements, I won't ask." Guo Xu said with a smile.

Guo Xu said this against his will, but the Suns management would not expose it. Brian Colangelo was elected the best manager last season. He did not want people to know that he was operating based on Guo Xu's opinions.

Guo Xu cannot let people know that he often raises suggestions for signings. If word spreads out, he will easily be labeled as a ball tyrant by the media. If a player has too much say in the team, he will be used as a leverage to attack, whether in terms of tactics or signings.

In fact, if Guo Xu had no say, how could the Suns achieve what they have today?

The depth of the Suns' lineup is simply unsolvable. Even if Nene is now retired, Guo Xu is still confident to lead the team to win the championship, because the remaining 12 players on the team are stronger than the Suns lineup in the previous 2005-06 season.

It sounds incredible, but it is a fact. Even the Suns' weakest inside position has completely destroyed the Suns in the previous life.

Varejao and Haslem are both insiders who are good at defense. The latter also has a stable mid-range shot. David Lee and Kukoc on the bench also have stable shooting ability and can open up space.

Nash's Suns had veteran Kurt Thomas as the starting center and Marion power forward throughout the season. The backup was a blue-collar guy named Pat Burke, and sometimes 203CM Boris Diaw was a guest center. They only dug up Tim Thomas, who was waived by the Bulls, in the mid-term to add a little depth to the lineup.

In the outside competition, Guo Xu's personal ability completely defeated Nash, and Bell started at No. 2. The Suns also have Josh Howard, who is excellent both offensively and defensively, and Ariza, whose quality is superhuman. In the previous life, the Suns' starting small forward was Diaw, and an important substitute was James Jones.

Guo Xu is confident that he will beat the Nash-led Suns in the playoffs. But that Suns team achieved 54 wins in the regular season and ranked third in the Western Conference, second only to the Spurs and Mavericks. Nash successfully won the regular season MVP.

In the playoffs, the Suns reached the Western Conference Finals and were eliminated by the Mavericks 2-4.

So the question is, what results will the Suns, now with a stronger lineup, achieve under the leadership of Guo Xu, who has stronger core capabilities?

Isn't everyone optimistic about the sun? hehe……

Guo Xu will let them know what "your uncle will always be your uncle" means this season.

Before the opening game, each team has two days of rest. The Suns must use this time to determine the last player quota and strengthen their internal strength.

During the preseason, the Suns management did not sign any signings, and the spot was still vacant. Because everyone with some talent is playing preseason games on behalf of each team, the free market is almost empty and there is no way to sign directly.

Brian Colangelo asked scouts to keep an eye on the fringe players of each team, and once someone with good performance was cut, he would be pulled in for a trial. The team's inside line must be strengthened, otherwise there will be too few players to play in the new season, and it will be a fatal blow if someone gets injured again.

Two insiders have already been reimbursed. Who can guarantee that the third one will not be injured at this time?

High-quality insiders are not that easy to find. Medvedenko signed a three-year contract with the Hornets for 8 million, and the Timberwolves' player Eddie Griffin, who has issues with his contract renewal, is also at the same price. Inside players are generally valuable. If he had known it would happen today, Brian would never let Diop go, even though "Big Sager" has no offensive power at all.

Trading isn't an option either. Big rookies are treasured by every team, even if they're relatively low in the draft. For example, Varejao last season, even if the Suns don't need him, letting him be a marginal player will not give him away to other teams.

Other teams are troubled by injuries and can only choose fringe players to make ends meet. Unlike the Suns, they have reborn players.

Guo Xu recommended two people, and his first choice was Chuck Hayes, who played preseason games for the Rockets.

Chinese fans in his previous life will not be unfamiliar with Hayes. He is a center who is 198cm tall and weighs 108kg. He is an undrafted rookie and an excellent defensive blue-collar player. He is an important member of the Rockets and has partnered with Yao Ming for many seasons.

Before the 2005 draft, Hayes won the MVP in the Portsmouth training camp, but no one was interested in the draft. After joining the Development League, Hayes, who played for the Thunderbirds, led the Development League with an average of 12.2 rebounds per game.

Because the Rockets suffered serious injuries during the 2005-06 season, Hayes was given a 10-day short contract. He seized the opportunity and stayed with the team, and then played for the Rockets until 2011.

Things didn't go that smoothly. In this life, the Rockets coach became Nelson. He was very dissatisfied with Juwan Howard's defense. He knew that someone had to guard the pick-and-roll at the 4th position, so he directly kept Hayes and signed a one-year minimum salary.

It doesn't matter if "Haiye" flies away. Anyway, he shoots very poorly and hasn't played long since joining the Suns. D'Antoni doesn't like him.

Guo Xu immediately recommended another insider with a height of 206cm and a weight of 102kg...()
