On the 15th, the Suns took a back-to-back challenge to another Texas strong spurs.
The Suns lost 104-110 in overtime.
Rookie players have a common weakness, that is, they don''t know how to allocate their physical strength, which will make them hit the rookie wall. Yesterday, the sun several new people ran wild, back-to-back state of the decline is obvious.
Xiaosi got 16 points and 10 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of only 40%; Nei Nei had 12 points and 7 rebounds, with a shooting rate of 60%. He was badly abused by Duncan, and he graduated with six crimes in 26 minutes.
Duncan played in 51 minutes, 25 shots 16, 6 of 6 free throws, 38 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 blocks.
People say that Duncan''s debut is the peak. In fact, "stone Buddha" has obviously become stronger in the past two years. The Spurs have achieved outstanding results with 23 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game this season.
David Robinson, one of the Spurs'' twin towers, has less than 10 points per game this season and will retire at the end of the season.
The Spurs'' No. 2 scorer is sophomore point guard Tony Parker, averaging 15 + 5 per game, often scolded by Popovich.
No bald "pampas vulture" Ginobili is just a rookie this year. He comes on the bench and hits 7 + 2 data per game.
Of course, the Spurs also have surprises. Stephen Jackson, who signed two-year base salary in 2001, has 12 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals per field, showing excellent performance in both attack and defense.
In the summer, the Spurs also signed a contract with swing man Bruce Bowen at a low salary. Although he has poor scoring ability, he is accurate in the bottom corner, and his cowhide style defense makes the outside line of the Spurs solid.
Also playing team basketball, the Spurs are mainly defensive, they have restrained the sun in terms of tactics, but can not prevent Guo Xu, so the strength of the two teams is not much different, the score is very close.
Guo Xu made 14 of 26 shots, 4 of 10 from 3-pointer, 6 of 6 from 6 free throws, and scored 38 points and 12 assists, nearly playing back-to-back 40 + 10. He finished the Spurs second year rookie Tony Parker, the latter only 3 of 18 shots, 2 of 5 of 3, 7 of 9 free throws, only 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Parker''s state is poor, Popovich must also let him play, because his speed can keep up with Guo Xu, height can also interfere with the shooting, backup guard spidi Clarkston on the stage with Guo Xu has no way.
Spidi and Guo Xu are at the same level. They are the No.20 rookie in the first round of 2000. The rookie''s season injury reimbursement is unfortunate. At that time, the scouts thought he was much better than Guo Xu. However, he had poor shooting percentage, poor assist ability and black hole defense in 76ers last season. So the management of the 76ers gave him up and traded to the Spurs.
Guo Xu''s breakthrough and shooting spidi can''t stop, the whole court only played for 4 minutes, he can''t help the team in the hard fight.
Although the Suns suffered the 15th defeat of this season, Guo Xu is still ranked third in the MVP ranking list, second only to Duncan and Nowitzki. Now many people think that Guo Xu and Duncan are superstars of the same level, but the way of leading the team is different.
Duncan attack and defend both ends are the core, Guo Xu is the attack power is super strong, can drive the whole team to attack.
The Suns returned to Phoenix for three days, and began a wave of Eastern road trips.
In the game against the Hornets, the two sides staged a dragon and tiger fight. The regular time draw was 114, and then two overtime games were played to win. The Suns won 140-133.
Sun''s team of 6 scored double, 4 scored 20 +, Guo Xu''s state was low, 3-point ball 8 out of 1, a total of 15 iron, the shooting rate of 33.3%, 25 points and 15 assists.
Joe Johnson''s performance is very reliable, got 24 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. In the last 6 seconds of the regular time, he hit a three-point equaliser worth training against Byron Davis.
Suns defense weakness again, the attack can break in, but can''t defend, especially when the other side also plays counter attack, the defense end all kinds of leakage.
Hornets player''s attack is not vulgar, outside line Byron Davis, David Wesley, Jamal marsh Trident, inside is Magloire, PJ Brown combination. Hornets overall level is to enter the playoffs no problem, want to go far is difficult.
A day later, sun vs magic, Guo Xu scored 24 points, 17 assists, 5 steals, led the team to score double, 4 scored 20 +, 117 to 107 win.
Tracy McGrady scored the highest 41 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, and Shaun camp, the magic''s second largest scorer, scored 22 points. Thanks to McGrady''s efforts, magic and Suns hit the fourth quarter.
Grant Hill was seriously injured again, and magic management was completely reduced to a laughing stock.
Since the release of Shaquille O''Neal, the magic has never had a good luck. Except for T-Mac, the high-paid signing of all the glassmen is like a curse.
"Do you expect hill to save the team? Hill is not on the operating table now. He is on his way to the operating table
It''s ironic, but it''s true. Hill''s big contract also locked magic''s salary space. In 2000, he signed a 7-year $93 million contract with magic, which will not expire until 2007, which is terrible.After the game, Guo Xu rarely did not praise his teammates, but made a self-criticism, saying that, including himself, the Suns'' defensive performance was too lax, which was very bad.
"We can''t go on like this. We can''t be forgiven if the players are flawed, but we have to be focused, or the playoffs won''t go far, no matter how beautiful the offense is. The rookies don''t know that the defensive intensity of each team in the playoffs will increase and the confrontation will be more intense, but I know that. They must be prepared in advance. I will set an example and defend seriously
It''s not too late for Guo Xu to say that, which is slightly better than when Nash joined in 2004. Once rookies develop the habit of not defending, it''s hard to change it later.
In the past, the Suns were the pioneers of the "small ball era". The team had the same fluent attack as the future warriors, but failed to win the championship. Their weaknesses are poor defense and some strange personnel changes in sun management.
Later coached the warriors, Cole and jintary were the sun''s general manager and coach, so they can combine the sun''s regular season success experience with the lessons of the playoffs failure, and have the glory of the warriors. Guo Xu has seen the warriors of the future. If he wants to succeed, he must defend firmly while attacking.
The Suns have no thorns and no cancer at present. As soon as Guo Xu, the boss, speaks, young players will listen.
The next away game against the heat, the Suns defense on a lot of positive, won 28 points, easily smashed the opponent. However, the sun defense is good, and the overall strength of the heat is too poor also has a direct relationship.
The heat''s former star center, Alonzo moning, was also out of action due to kidney disease season, while the outside core Eddie Jones was also absent due to injury. The second round rookie lasu Butler became the first round starter. Last season, Malik Allen, who entered the NBA as a non draft talent, also started.
The team''s most beneficial person is No. 10 rookie Karon Butler, who won a lot of shooting rights, unexpectedly became the heat''s No. 2 scorer. Jones is not here, he is the heat''s first scoring point, strength is not good, the shooting percentage is not high, Marion can take care of him alone.
The Suns returned to Phoenix with a three game winning streak. The next four games were home games, and the schedule was more comfortable.
Guo Xu and Avril often chat on the Internet and have become friends. Their appointed meeting time has come
