Legend of Tomorrow

? The Pistons failed to hold on, the Suns led 94 to 61 in the third quarter, and the game entered garbage time early.

Guo Xu played another two minutes in the final quarter. He scored double figures in assists and then took a break. He scored 43 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal, playing a total of 32 minutes.

Billups also played 32 minutes and was completely beaten. Only his performance in the second quarter was acceptable. He made 5 of 14 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Barkley said regretfully: Jason probably won't play again. As long as he plays a few more minutes, he will definitely be 50+10.

Smith smiled and said: He was right not to brush up the statistics. The Pistons players became a bit defensive in the second half. The Suns replaced all the main players to avoid injuries in garbage time.

In the final quarter, the Suns still had the upper hand, and the five marginal players were Blake, Kirisek, Howard, Kukoc, and Diop.

The Pistons' substitute lineup is Hunter, Sura, Collis Williams, Darwin Hamm, and Selke Rebrasha.

In the end, the Suns beat the Pistons by 45 points 121-76.

In the final quarter, Brown allowed people to thoroughly see what it means to be a god-like employer. He would rather let a marginal player with no potential to be exploited than give Milicic a chance to perform for a minute.

Although the team suffered a disastrous defeat, Brown did not lose. He once again successfully defended Milicic.

This is really incredible. Selke, who is 213cm tall and weighs 117kg, was the 27th pick in the second round of 1994. He did not get a contract at the time and played overseas for many years before joining the Pistons in 2001 with a minimum salary. This is his third season playing for the Pistons. Last season he averaged 6.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, and his performance was acceptable.

Selke averaged 3 points and 2 rebounds per game this season and shot only 40% from the field. However, he is still able to beat Milicic and get a stable 10 minutes of playing time because Brown thinks he is very experienced.

When leaving the court, Milicic fell at the back with dull eyes, like a walking zombie. In Brown's eyes, a 31-year-old pure blue-collar man is better than him, trampling on his self-esteem time and time again.

At the press conference, Guo Xu was the only protagonist. The reporter asked him to talk about his feelings and asked him if he was confident in winning the scoring and assist titles at the same time.

Guo Xu replied: I'm very happy to win. Our goal is to strive for the best record in the regular season and get all the home court advantages in the playoffs. As long as we can win, it doesn't matter if my data is a little bit worse.

A reporter then asked: You played two minutes in garbage time and scored double figures in assists.

Does this care about the performance of the data?

Yeah, I like to round up the numbers so I play for a while. If you think this is just a data brush, then I admit it. Guo Xu smiled and said: Actually, I really want to try to brush the data with all my strength. After all, there are many players in the league. I usually play for more than 40 minutes, but I often take a break early when I have enough energy. I missed two minutes today, so please forgive me.

Guo Xu generously admitted that he had tampered with data, but reporters could not criticize him. Even if the news was quoted out of context and caused controversy, it would not be harmful to Guo Xu. Who makes him rank first in two statistical lists now?

He only played two more minutes, and the fans can certainly forgive him. Many people thought he played too short a time.

McGrady and Iverson, who are behind Guo Xu in the scoring list, both average more than 40 minutes per game. Those two often score in garbage time. The difference is that the Magic and 76ers are often the ones lagging behind. It is basically impossible to come back from being behind by more than 20 points in the final quarter. Stars score points on the court but often receive praise. This is the spirit of never giving up.

Of course, as the Internet becomes more and more developed, more and more fans know the truth. After all, the Magic are now at the bottom of the league.

As usual, a reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate his opponent.

Guo Xu said: The Pistons are very strong, but they just don't get along well. I think Billups and Hamilton are all-stars, and Prince and Ben Wallace are very good defensively. This is an underrated team. , just like the Suns are called a grassroots team, the players are good, but they lack fame. The Pistons won 50 games in each of the first two seasons.

The reporter asked: Are you saying that Brown is not as good as Carlisle?

I didn't say that. I only evaluate the players. Who to use as coach is a matter for the Pistons management. I am just a bystander.

Guo Xu will not criticize Brown. Although the Pistons played ugly, they won the championship in his previous life and reached the finals twice. He wanted to leave an introduction to prove his vision in the future.

As long as Rasheed can be traded to the Pistons, this team will rise in the mid-term. If the Suns and Pistons meet in the finals, there will definitely be people who admire Guo Xu's vision. Then all the media will not say that the Pistons are grassroots and the pressure is on the Suns' side.

In an interview with the Pistons, Billups bluntly said that it was scary to play against Guo Xu and that he could not guard against him; Ben Wallace said that the Suns' offense is very powerful and they have to perform better on the offensive end to win.

When reporters asked about Milicic, Brown still used the same old rhetoric, saying that Milicic was not good at confrontation and was not ready to play.

Those who didn't know better thought that the score between the two sides was tight, and if Milicic was played, the Pistons would lose. It’s garbage time, what preparations do players need to make? Brown lets Milicic play for a while. Even if he loses by 50 points, what if he loses by 5 points more than the experienced blue-collar Selke?

After the game, many Pistons fans on the Internet were angry. They posted messages suggesting that the Pistons management should lay off Brown now and replace him with another coach. This person is no longer overrated. He deliberately wants to destroy the team's second place.

Joe Dumars had a headache after reading the message. How easy is it to change the coach? Brown just signed a five-year contract worth 25 million. Now that the team is cutting him off, he will have to pay him a lot of liquidated damages. Even if he has money, he can't throw it away like this.

On the 19th, the Suns defeated the Bulls 109-82 at home back-to-back and entered garbage time in three quarters.

Guo Xu played 31 minutes and scored 23 points and 13 assists. Six players in the team scored in double figures.

The Bulls are hopelessly weak this season. Even if the Suns players don't defend seriously, they won't be able to score many points.

In 2002, No. 2 guard Joey Williams was scrapped along with his heavy-duty motorcycle after a car accident. The Bulls' starting point guard was rookie Kirk Hinrich, who was far behind Guo Xu in all aspects.

Jaylen Rose and Jason Richardson took turns shooting, and neither of them was very active on the defensive end. The Suns have four outstanding swingmen, and single defense can restrict and reduce their shooting percentages.

The Bulls' twin interior towers are a joke. The coach no longer lets Tyson Chandler and Eddie Curry play together. Fizer is also a blue-collar player, and his condition is getting worse and worse. Donyel Marshall, who was reused by the coach, is a big man who shoots wildly. As a power forward, his field goal percentage barely reaches 40%.

After his huge contract expired, Scottie Pippen returned to the Bulls, which did not help the team.

This season, the Bulls' goal is to draft the No. 1 pick again.

Guo Xu and Richardson have been in constant contact since they were young. They don't see each other much and often chat online.

Entering his fourth season in the league, his record was at the bottom every year. Richardson's mentality was about to collapse. He no longer felt that he could become Jordan's successor and a superstar.

Guo Xu can only encourage him to improve his statistics this year and sign a big contract first without worrying about anything else. Maybe he will stand out next year. In the previous life, after sending Rose away, the Bulls succeeded this year and rose next season.

The Bulls' player who seems to have the most potential is Richardson. He is likely to work hard next season and become the team's first core, but the path he takes is too tortuous. (https:)
