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 percentage of 55.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 42%, and free throws of 90%.

The team's five players averaged double-digit points per game in the preseason, Marion averaged 36 minutes per game, scoring a double-double of 20.1 points and 10.4 rebounds, and shooting percentage was 52%.

Howard averaged 34.8 minutes per game, scored 17.4 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and shot 47.2%, becoming the team's third scoring point, reaching Joe Johnson's position. His scoring efficiency is not inferior to "Joe", but his organizational ability is poor.

Bale received accurate shots and was able to participate in fast breaks, with a three-point shooting percentage of 45.4%, and averaged 11 points per game.

David Lee made a mid-range shot after pick-and-roll, and he did a good job of taking the downside. He could grab the backcourt rebound and launch a counterattack on the defensive end. He averaged 10.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 59.6%.

David Lee can play a tactical role now, because he is only a No. 30 rookie and is seriously underestimated. His opponent double-teams Guo Xu usually empty him. Guo Xu passed the ball over and scored, and his shooting percentage was ridiculously high.

After reading David Lee's data, many experts were shocked. Why is it easier for him to score in NBA than in college? This is so unscientific!

Blake, Haslem, Valejo, Ariza, Jones and others also performed when they came on the court, but their scoring ability was slightly inferior and their defensive end was very active.

Two veterans Payton and Kukoc didn't make much appearance, so they gave up time to train new players.

In the last game, the Suns beat the Warriors with 23 points. Guo Xu broke through heavy point guard Byron 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 accepted an interview with reporters and became the focus of the league.

The reporter asked: "The Suns have achieved the best preseason record without 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 are completely useless. My teammates are so angry that they will play every game with all their might. Although I have nothing to win ** and only help, the Suns actually won, which is a surprise."

Recently, it was said online that Guo Xu relied on Xiao Si, and there were many people who helped Nene, so he couldn't help but agree, and the whole audience was in an uproar.

The reporter asked: "What are the goals of the Suns' new season?"

Guo Xu said idly: "I see that all teams are ready to clean up the Suns on the Internet, so our goal in the new season is to play badly and strive to draw the No. 1 pick, but judging from the performance in the preseason, this goal seems to be difficult to achieve."

This is no longer a slap in the face, but he pressed those who don’t look at the sun to the ground and stepped on their faces. Many reporters at the scene were a little embarrassed, and they had predicted that the sun had finished.

A reporter asked: "The Suns still have an empty spot. Will they trade or sign up before the opening game begins?"

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

Guo Xu said this very against his will, but the Suns management will not expose it. Brian Colangelo was elected the best manager last season. He doesn't want people to know that he is operating by listening to Guo Xu's opinions.

Guo Xu cannot let people know that he often recommends the recruitment opinions. If it is reported, it is easy for the media to say that the players are the dominant. If they have too much voice in the team, they will be attacked as a handle, whether in terms of tactics or signings.

In fact, if Guo Xu had no right to speak, how could the Sun have achieved what he is today?

The Suns' lineup depth is simply unsolvable. Even Nene is reimbursed now. 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 2005-06 season in the previous life.

It sounds incredible, but this is the fact that even the weakest inside position of the Sun completely outweighs the Sun in his previous life.

Valaijo and Haslem are both inside players who are good at defense, and the latter also have stable mid-range shots. David Lee and Kukoc, who are substitutes, also have stable shooting ability and can open up space.

Nash's Suns have been playing center all season with veteran Cott Thomas playing as center, Marion power forward, and a substitute with a blue-collar named Pat Bock, and sometimes Boris Dior from 203m played a cameo center. They only dug out Tim Thomas, who was cut by the Bulls, to increase the depth of the lineup.

In the outside competition, Guo Xu beat Nash's personal ability, and Bale was the No. 2 position. Josh Howard, who has excellent offense and defense, is Ariza, the superman in the previous life, was Dior's small forward in the Suns, and James Jones was the important substitute.

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

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

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

Everyone doesn't look at the sun? Haha...

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

Before the opening game begins, each team has two days off. The Suns have to use this time to determine the last player quota and strengthen their inside strength.

During the preseason, the Suns management did not sign and sign the contract, and that quota was still empty. Because people with some strength were playing preseason for each team, the free market was almost empty and they could not sign directly.

Brian Colangelo lets scouts stare at the inside of the team's marginal people, and once someone who performs well is cut, they will be pulled for a tryout. The team's inside line must be strengthened, otherwise there will be too few people playing in the new season, and it will be a fatal blow if someone is injured again.

The insider has been reimbursed for two, who can guarantee that he will not hurt the third one at this time?

High-quality inside players are not that easy to find. Medvedenko signed 8 million for three years and Timberwolves renewed the contract. Eddie Griffin also has the same price. Inside players are generally valuable. If they had known that they would be today, Brian would never let Diop go, although "big Sage" had no attack power at all.

The deal is not good either. Big rookies are all treasured by teams, even if they are relatively low in the rankings. For example, Valaijo last season, even if the Suns can't use them, he will not send away other teams as a fringe person.

When other teams encounter injuries, they can only choose a marginal player to make their way to live. The Suns are different, and they have reborn people.

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

Chinese fans in previous lives would not be unfamiliar with Hayes. He is a center forward with a height of 198m and a weight of 108kg. He was a rookie and an excellent defensive blue-collar worker. He is an important member of the Rockets and has been with Yao Ming for many seasons.

Before the 2005 draft, Hayes won the MVP in Portsmouth training camp, but no one was interested in it 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.

Due to the severe injuries caused by the Rockets in the 2005-06 season, Hayes was given a 10-day contract. He seized the opportunity to stay with the team and then played for the Rockets until 2011.

Things didn't go so well. In this life, the Rockets coach turned into old Nelson. He was very dissatisfied with Zhu Wan Howard's defense. He knew that someone would have to defend the pick-and-roll at the No. 4 position, so he left Hayes directly and signed a year's minimum salary.

It doesn't matter if "Hai Ye" flew away. Anyway, his shooting is very poor, and he won't play for a long time after joining the Suns. D'Antoni doesn't like him.

Guo Xu immediately recommended an inside line with a height of 206m and a weight of 102 kg...—
