Chapter 276 [Great Victory!] Self-inflicted abuse can't live! 】
In the last quarter, Guo Xu and Joe Johnson rested, and the king, who was unwilling to give up the game, hurriedly replaced the center Divac.
The "ghost hand" finally performed, and the pass and single led the team to score one after another. Alston did a terrible job defending Bobby Jackson and suffered a big loss, and the gap between the two sides quickly narrowed to 10 points.
Jackson can shoot suddenly, and he is not a vegetarian on the offensive end, Alston can shoot but can't shoot, and his passing awareness is average, and his defensive ability is not qualified among point guards at present.
The coaching staff wanted to develop Jacobson, but the Suns bench was denied someone who could lead the offense, and Marion's weakness was also revealed, with consecutive shots on the ball.
Marion had to be paired with a star point guard to play, which is why Marion was later sent away by the Suns in exchange for the in-form O'Neal, who was not considered by management to be worth the super high salary.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Marion couldn't even average 15 points per game after leaving the Suns, and when he was with the Mavericks, he actually held the ball better and attacked, practicing a back-to-back throw, which was difficult for opponents to block.
As long as Joe Johnson doesn't leave the Suns, Marion will have to become a four-man for a while. And Guo Xu made a decision when he joined, and in 2005, he said that he had to let the team renew Joe Johnson's contract, and it was impossible to let it go in vain like in his previous life.
In his previous life, the Suns boss was very sorry that he didn't leave Joe Johnson behind. Because the Suns' proposed contract extension amount is not much different from Joe Johnson's request, the average difference is only $830,000 per season.
Joe Johnson ended up signing and then trading to the Hawks because he felt the Suns were trying to lower his market value, not because he wanted to be the boss of a team. Of course, it also has to do with money, and the Hawks offered a contract worth $70 million, which is $20 million more than the Suns offered a contract extension nine months ago.
In Johnson's final season with the Suns, he averaged 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1 steal per game while shooting 46.1% from the field and 47.8% from three-point range.
Even 70 million in five years is not too high for Joe Johnson's ability, he was a seven-time All-Star, and he averaged 20.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in his first season with the Hawks.
And Joe Johnson is very selfless, in the case of privilege, he played 41.4 minutes in his peak season, and averaged only 20 shots per game, the only time in his career that he shot 20+, and he averaged 25 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game that year.
Guo Xu feels that as long as Joe Johnson stays, it is equivalent to having a strengthened version of Klay Thompson by his side. He would be the perfect second-in-command, a multi-faceted man. If the Suns don't trade him, they may win the championship in 06 and 07, which is much more reliable than Dio, who only won the Most Improved Player award.
After the pause, Guo Xu, Xiao Si, and Joe Johnson returned to the court, and quickly stabilized the situation with a wave of 12-5, widening the difference to more than 15 points again.
Xiao Si's blocking and dismantling created huge pressure on the King's interior line, and Webb didn't dare to let go of him to change the defense of Guo Xu, and he couldn't defend it by relying on the point guard alone. Christie defends the main game, and Guo Xu will pass the ball to Joe Johnson alone, who has an obvious advantage against Jackson and Damon Jones, and he also has the ability to organize, and he will pass the ball when he sees his teammates cutting in the air.
The Suns defeated the Kings 123-100, the team's highest single-game scoring of the season. The center Chacalidis was a spectator for the whole game and did not play for a minute, which was the biggest change for the team.
Brian Colangelo was ready to trade Chacalidis for an outside player after firing Frank, and the countdown to his departure has begun.
Guo Xu played 37 minutes, shooting 11 of 18, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 30 points, 2 rebounds, 22 assists and 1 steal, with only 3 turnovers. His 22 assists is his personal career record and league record this season.
The Suns had six players in double figures, with Stadamire having a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds, Marion with 14 points and 10 rebounds, Nene with 12 points, five rebounds and two blocks, Joe Johnson with 15 points and Jacobson with 10 points.
The best performance of the Kings was Webb, with 27 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks; Bobby Jackson, with 19 points and four assists, was the second leading scorer for the Kings, and his shooting was so good that Guo Xu and Alston couldn't stop him.
Forwards Peja and Turkglou were both not well shot by Marion; Christie scored only 6 points and couldn't beat Joe Johnson; Nene performed well against Divac and Clark.
The commentator commented in the final stages: "There are a lot of bright spots on the defensive end of the Suns, and their defense looks better than before. ”
Watching live on TV, Frank Johnson felt like he had lost his soul at home, and the Suns' defense got better, and he felt more devastated than the offense got better. Throughout the game, the Suns players behaved like they kept slapping him.
As a coach known as "defense first", the defensive system arranged is not as good as D'Antoni sending a newcomer to defend casually, what team will use this kind of person?
Frank knows it's over, he finally realizes that he is not enough, he is just a self-righteous wastewood.
Guo Xu communicated with him again and again before, wanting to change his mind, but he didn't name him as a waste of firewood, saving him enough face.
When the Sun management fired him, they also saved face for him, but he didn't know how to be grateful at all, but expressed his dissatisfaction in an interview with reporters.
If he could restrain himself a little and just leave like this, things would be much better. Now that he is self-inflicted, there will definitely be media after the game who will make a fuss about his previous dissatisfaction, compared to the huge changes in the Suns, can people not spray him?
There is no need to wait for the media to come out with the news, now there are a large number of Suns fans on the Internet who have posted to scold Frank, if he doesn't leave, the fans don't know that the rookie can be so strong, and the Suns' offense can be so strong.
The soldiers are bearish, and they will be bears, and they are talking about people like Frank.
Guo Xu and the others returned to the locker room, and everyone was very happy. Before going into the bathroom to take a bath, Guo Xu gathered everyone together, stood on the table in the middle, and said condescendingly: "Now, everyone can see how strong they are, and they know the benefits of fighting with their opponents, right?" ”
"Yes." The rookies shouted at the top.
Guo Xu smiled and said loudly: "After a while, people who perform well will go to the press conference, and everyone will try to be as high-profile as possible in the face of the interview. Our goal is to win the championship, and I believe that it will be achieved in the future, when the reporter asks, what ideas do you have to say boldly, what bulls dare to brag, you are willing to spray Frank Johnson and I support it, we want to make big news! ”
Everyone laughed, and after more than a month of playing, they finally raised their eyebrows today. The Kings beat the Lakers in the playoffs last season, but they beat the Kings by 23 points, and their confidence suddenly increased.
After the previous 21 games, the popularity of the Suns is very sad, except for Guo Xu, teammates are rarely mentioned by the media.
Guo Xu also doesn't praise his teammates, because if he praises those teammates who can't play for a few minutes, it is tantamount to sarcastically mocking the head coach, and it is not good for Frank to do this when he is still coaching the Suns, because the head coach has the final say in the arrangement, and Guo Xu can't prove that he is right.
Now, he's ready to go to the press conference and despise Frank to the fullest. (https:)
