Since Pedrager did not shoot, he did not go to the free throw line, and the Supersonics only had 2 seconds of offensive time left.

The outbound ball was sent and passed to Pedrager. He faced Jack Chakalidis forcibly throwing on the left, and the ball bounced out, and Marion grabbed the rebound.

The supersonic players are not fast, and Guo Xu really wants to launch a fast attack, but after a glance, he can only land on the position, because the Suns players are slower.

He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and played pick-and-roll with his teammates in the middle, attracting double-teams and passing the ball to Gugliotta in the middle. This time he didn't dare to shoot when there was an open position, and passed the ball to Marion, who was running on the left.

Marion made a close pass from the left to Joe Johnson who cut from the bottom corner to the basket, who made a layup against Barry. 2-0.

Joe Johnson is a stout floor swaying man, 201cm tall and weighs 107 kilograms. He is very similar to Pierce, a skilled player with solid basic skills. He has almost no shortcomings in his skills and can shoot and play singles. In Guo Xu's previous life, some fans joked that he was contemporary Jordan.

Supersonic attack, Payton first passed the ball to his teammates in the first half, ran to the horn position and then took it back, and fought Guo Xu alone and turned to shoot the basketball. 2-2.

Suns attack, Guo Xu plays pick-and-roll again, and the opponent doubles the team...

The offense in these few rounds is a microcosm of the entire quarter of the game between the two sides, positional battles, dull round-trip passes, no exciting dunks, and the shooting rate is not high.

Supersonics coach McMillan is very clear about Guo Xu's ability. He is the only point he can't break through or shoot three-pointers, letting others take action.

In the first quarter, Joe Johnson and Marion performed well, scoring 8 points and 6 points respectively, Guo Xu made 1 of 2 shots, scoring only 2 points and 2 assists, and the Suns led 24-15.

Suns coach Frank Johnson smiled and was complacent on the sidelines, feeling that his tactics were very successful and defended the Supersonics' attack.

Little did he know that Guo Xu had the urge to beat this guy when he was over. No, he just beat him too cheaply, so he had to let Ha Pang sit down to death.

Do you still need defense when playing Supersonics? The Supersonic center is a second round pick, extremely slow, allowing Stadameier to run on the court and beat the Supersonics inside in minutes.

However, Si sat on the sidelines for a whole quarter, and Frank loved Chakalidis so much.

The sun was slow to play in the entire game. If Guo Xu and Marion ran faster, Frank would teach them after the game. "You have to stabilize the pace and play success."

D'Antoni suggested: "As long as we speed up the pace, our opponents can't defend themselves, so why not try a fast attack?"

Frank pretended that he didn't hear it and continued to emphasize defense.

In the last quarter, Bali played against the Suns' double towers, played without a ball cover with his teammates, received the ball and shot, and scored four three-pointers in a single quarter, overtaking the score in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Chakalidis was troubled by fouls and rested, and Gugliotta was also tired. Guo Xu and Xiao Si played pick-and-roll, passed the ball and cut the ball with a quick stop and jump shot, winning the game 12-2.

90-86, the Suns won very hard against weak teams. Guo Xu performed well with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, but he was so naughty at the press conference that he was too lazy to evaluate the game.

He can now be sure that preseason is not a newcomer. Head coach Frank is a big SB, and he doesn't even know what his players are suitable for.

He only let Nene play for 6 minutes in the whole game, reusing veteran blue-collar Sgerte Williams. Sgerte was casually released on the offensive end, his defensive end was not fast, and his pick-and-roll defense was also a scumbag.

This year's first round rookie Jacques Bson was able to catch the ball and shoot, and the defensive end was not a loss. He only played for 3 minutes in the game.

Guo Xu, Joe Johnson and Marion played for 40 minutes, 42 minutes and 45 minutes respectively. The Suns did not rotate at all, and Guo Xu didn't know how this person became a coach.

Frank's lineup arrangement is very rigid, just the one left by Skeles last season. The two standing insiders dragged their legs so that the team could not play fast attacks, and Guo Xu had to be double-teamed in the positional battle.

The second home opening match of the Suns narrowly defeated the weak Cavaliers, with a score of 83 to 74, and the ugly scene was simply unaware. Guo Xu and Marion won two-double, while the others played soy sauce.

After the game, Guo Xu could not praise his two inside teammates, and he couldn't say anything against his will.

Nene didn't play for a minute, Alstom only played for 8 minutes, Joe Johnson rested for only 24 minutes, Chakalidis and Gugliotta's position was as stable as Mount Tai.

The Suns met the strong team in the playoffs and lost to the Mavericks and Pistons.

Facing the Trail Blazers, Hawks, Nuggets, Rockets and Suns narrowly won two 1-pointers, narrowly won one three-pointer, and five-pointer at one.

Guo Xu performed stably, and in the last 6 seconds, he made a quick stop and shot, which was the Rockets who were sure to defeat Yao Ming's Rockets.

With the personal abilities of Guo Xu, Marion, Stadameer, and Joe Johnson, the Suns started with 6 wins and 2 losses. What's scary is that they did not score in these 8 games in one single score.

Guo Xu didn't know what it would be like to score 100 in the Lakers last season. It was normal to play the opponent in three quarters. In the Suns, although his data was higher than last season, averaged 24.3 points and 6.6 assists per game, his efficiency actually decreased because his playing time increased by 6 minutes, his shooting percentage was only 47.1%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 40.4%, which were both career lows.

At the press conference, Frank was very happy and started to give advice. He thought that the Suns won the game because they were coaching themselves and had appropriate tactics.

As a result, Frank was only one day's handsome guy. In the back-to-back game, the Suns lost to the old Jazz 76-99. The players scored none of them except Guo Xu and Marion.

The Suns' "two towers" never scored in double digits, and the two of them generally did not score in double digits. The defenders broke through the pick-and-roll and could not grab a few rebounds, but they were steadily pressing Sir and Nene.

Because of the existence of the "two towers", Guo Xu couldn't fight without tactics, and he couldn't get a fast break. Marion had to retreat to protect the backcourt rebounds, otherwise the opponent might even grab the frontcourt rebounds. There could be no only two guards who played less and made more fast breaks.

At the end of November, the Suns lost to the Warriors, and their record turned into 8 wins and 7 losses. Frank still felt that he was doing well, with a winning rate of more than half, which was much better than last season.

In early December, the Suns lost to the Eastern Conference Heat, Nets and Celtics, lost to the Grizzlies two times and then to the Warriors, and suffered a 7-game losing streak, with a record of 8 wins and 13 losses, falling out of the playoffs.

Frank found a reason for the loss and actually said that the outside players did not play according to his tactics, and the Suns must play a combination of internal and external, and pass more balls to the low-post inside, instead of making endless shots from the outside.

Guo Xu and Joe Johnson passed the ball to the low post to Chakalidis. Is this a tactic that a normal person can think of?

After this game, Guo Xu was completely angry.

He had communicated with Frank many times before with D'Antoni, suggesting that he reuse Nene and Sir play fast breaks. Frank rejected them all, and in turn told the two of them the importance of defense, although the two inside lines he reuse were the team's defensive black holes.

His reasons are very strange. Although Chakalidis and Gugliotta did not defend well, the inexperienced S and Nene were even more defenseless when they came on the court because they were too young.

After returning to home court, Guo Xu and D'Antoni went to find manager Brian Colangelo together.
