Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu has been staying in Los Angeles during the holidays. When he doesn't have roles, he hangs out with friends and occasionally visits the crew.

Austin Nichols has finished filming the movie Space Traveler, and the company has scheduled it to be released during Thanksgiving in November. He has not had much work recently and hangs out with Guo Xu every day. After Jason Richardson joined the Kings, he was bored in Sacramento and went to Los Angeles to hang out with them.

The entertainment activities of the three people were not grand at all. They were eating, chatting and playing games just like they did when they were children.

Richardson has completely lost his ambition in the basketball world. He and Guo Xu have greatly distanced themselves. By the time the Kings only wanted to play good data and pursue a big contract. It's difficult because we have Stephen Jackson and Kevin Martin on the team, and the three of them have to share the playing time.

Guo Xu couldn't bear to hit him, so he could only advise him to play healthy basketball and not get injured to improve his statistics, which would lead to a decline in his quality.

He is actually doing worse now than in his previous life. He entered the league a year earlier and his contract will expire in 2009. Even if his statistics are good, it will be difficult to get a big contract if he can't win with the Kings. In his previous life, he at least created a miracle with the Warriors and his teammates, but now he has lost even this achievement.

If Richardson cannot get a big contract in 2009 and there is no good team to go to, Guo Xu will certainly be willing to give him a hand. Now his annual salary is about the same as that of Marion. He has never been selected as an All-Star because of his high salary but low ability. The Suns will definitely not trade him to the team.

Guo Xu stayed in Los Angeles until October. The filming of the Chloe movie was finally completed. He and Megan returned to Phoenix together, while Daddario and Amber began living together in Los Angeles.

On October 3, the Suns held a media day in Phoenix, and the new season was about to begin.

Before the preseason began, Brian Colangelo signed another point guard, Shamond Williams.

Shamond is not strong. He played for the Magic and Hornets last season and played a total of 55 games. He scored 4.8 points and 2.2 assists in 14.4 minutes, shooting 37.5% from the field and 30% from the three-point range.

The Suns signed Shamond just in case. If Guo Xu is injured again, the Suns will not only have Lowry as a point guard. At least Shamond has good dribbling skills and can shoot three-pointers. He can pass the ball across the half court and just stand still on the outside and wait for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot.

Players were photographed together and interviewed. Guo Xu, Stoudemire, and Roy took the core makeup photos.

Guo Xu commented on the new teammates. They can help the team and they all fit into the tactical system, especially Grant Hill, who is an excellent veteran.

Rich game experience. In the Suns, he does not need to take on too many offensive tasks with the ball. He will definitely be able to get over the injuries and regain the feeling of his youth.

Thomas Carter has checked Hill's knee and the recovery is very good. As long as he controls his playing time and no longer changes directions as quickly as he did when he was young, it will not be a big problem. If these two conditions can be met, Hill will no longer dare to force a breakthrough, and his playing time in the Suns will not exceed 30 minutes.

After chatting for a while, the reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate other teams, those competitors whose strength has improved.

Kobe has joined the Warriors. Do you think the Warriors can threaten the Suns in the new season? Their lineup looks very strong.

Guo Xu thought for a while and said seriously: Kobe is very good, and the Warriors have many stars and potential new stars, but they need some time to get used to it. So I am not optimistic about them. They should be able to enter the playoffs in the new season, but it will be difficult to get there. Far.

The reporter asked: Which team are you most optimistic about?

In the West, I am most optimistic about the Rockets. They have outstanding stars both inside and outside and can achieve a balance of offense and defense. In the East, the Celtics form the Big Three. Their role players are also good and their overall strength is very strong. They are very likely to Breaking out in the East will be very competitive before the Big Three get old.

The Chinese reporter present asked Guo Xu to evaluate Yao Ming. He said that Yao Ming is a super insider, one of the top three centers in the NBA, and has the ability to compete for the number one center.

This is not a compliment. Just look at the data and you will know how good Yao Ming is. His scoring ability ranks among the top five among all active insiders. His efficiency in low-post singles is extremely high. He can easily score 30 points if his opponent does not double-team him.

Yao Ming's shortcoming is that he lacks physical strength, and his efficiency will decrease as he plays for a long time. On the defensive end, he also suffers because of his slow movement speed.

Guo Xu believes that the Rockets are an unexpected competitor. The Suns can only attack with them, and it is not easy to defend against them. This means that the Rockets have a chance to defeat the Suns. The key depends on which team's star performs better.

Guo Xu also answered some questions about the movie. The filming of the new film is going very smoothly and it will probably be released in February next year.

The reporter asked: What is the theme this time? Are you good at romantic comedies?

I can't reveal the plot. You will know it when you go to the theater to watch it. If I say too much, it will lack a lot of fun. I can only say that this is different from The Innocence of a Dancer back then. It is a new attempt by Megan and me.

After the training camp started, Guo Xu practiced with his teammates for a few days before participating in the preseason games, and he recovered well.

But in just the first game of the playoffs, Guo Xu felt that the atmosphere in the Suns was different from last season.

In the past preseason, he was lazying alone while the others were playing hard. Now everyone is lazing together, playing casually as if for fun, and not being energetic when defending.

As a result, they lost to the Warriors 95-100 in the first game. Several Warriors stars led by Kobe Bryant played very actively. Guo Xu, who had been off for a season, could not stop heavy guard Baron Davis.

In the second game, the Suns' defense had another problem and they lost to the Lakers 101-107. Joe Johnson defeated Roy, hit 6 three-pointers, shot 70% from the field, and scored 34 points and 5 assists.

After defeating the Kings, Clippers, and Hawks, the Suns lost to the Celtics 86-93 and the Timberwolves 91-100. In the end, they only achieved a record of 3 wins and 4 losses in the preseason.

Guo Xu and Stoudemire have a good understanding of pick-and-roll offense, and Roy is also more active on the offensive end, but people in other positions like to stand still in positional battles, and their shots are too casual during counterattacks. Not everyone can guarantee a hit rate by taking random shots like Guo Xu.

There is also a problem with the Suns' lineup. Hill is not suitable to start with Roy. Hill's mid-range and long-range shots are average, and he almost never shoots three-pointers. He is good at attacking in the mid-range, whether with or without the ball. Roy's three-point shooting percentage is also average, and their positions overlap slightly.

Using Anthony Parker is a stable three-point shooting point, but the defense at the 3rd position is poor. If Roy plays small forward and starts together with Laga Bell, he will suffer on the defensive end. Roy playing small forward will put pressure on him during confrontation and increase the possibility of injury.

The wing defense is not as good as when Marion was there. Marion is also good at grabbing rebounds and is one of the best rebounding small forwards in the league. On the offensive end, he is active in fast breaks and can also make cuts in positional battles.

Another hidden danger for the Suns is that they have too many players in contract years.

Varejao, Bell, Parker, and Tim Thomas are all in contract years. They want to put up statistics and get a high salary next year, and they can't help but want to increase the number of shots they take. They all have championships, like Bell, who has won four consecutive championships. Even a low-key player like him cannot be selfless. He does not lack honor, but he really lacks money.

Not to mention someone like Thomas who has a history of negative games. If the Suns hadn't given him a player option, he would have jumped out of his contract in the summer. Now he is very talkative on the surface, but he is lazy on the defensive end when he comes on the court, and is only active on the offensive end.

The extremes of things must be reversed, and the sun begins to weaken...
