Chapter 460

On January 31, the Suns lost 101-105 at home to the Knicks.

The Knicks boss James Doran has been very willing to spend money, after the failure of last season, he first hired Isaiah Thomas into the management team, as the team's new manager, and then supported it to carry out a series of transactions, drastic adjustment of the lineup.

In October 2003, the nets bought out the remaining contract of former star center Mutombo, who then signed a two-year contract of 8.7 million with the Knicks.

In the summer's four-way deal, the Knicks also brought in white forward Keith Van Horn, who was once known as "Byrd's second generation.".

The Knicks also have established the core position of "lone wolf" Marbury; average 18.5 points per game, the team's second scorer Alan Houston; after the recovery in good condition Antonio mcdeis; 11 + 8 excellent blue collar Kurt Thomas.

The Knicks look very strong and are currently sixth in the East.

Marbury's hot hand and Guo Xu against the wind, 22 shot 11, 5 of 9 3-pointer, 8 of 8 free throw, cut 35 points and 8 assists.

Guo Xu made 13 of 27 shots, 4 out of 10 from 3-pointer, 6 out of 6 free throws, and scored 36 points and 8 assists.

Xiaosi's absence makes the sun's inner line attack power drop some, inside in the attack end does not have that give up one's own domineering spirit. Therefore, the nickname of Xiaosi in the previous life was "little overlord", and he still didn't even have a nickname at the end of his career.

Marion, the Suns' second leader, sleepwalked the whole court, making 3-out of 15 shots, 1-out of 5-3-pointer, 6-out-of-6 free throws, 13 points, 14 rebounds and 4 steals.

In this game, Guo Xu passed Marbury in the counterattack, hit the ball back to the ground without defense, and completed a self throwing and self dunking with both hands, which proved his jumping ability again.

On February 1, the all star slam dunk competition officially sent an invitation to Guo Xu, hoping that he would replace the injured Xiaosi to participate in the competition. Guo Xu agreed happily in the phone.

"No problem, thank you for thinking about inviting me, and I'd love to participate."

"No, we should thank you..."

Xiaosi is sure to wait for the star game to return, will miss the whole star weekend, rookie game he will not represent the second grade.

Guo Xu's promise to appear on the stage is tantamount to saving the slam dunk contest. League officials are relieved. If he refuses, there will be no big name stars willing to participate this year, and the gimmicks are seriously insufficient. Only because of Guo Xu's popularity, even if he is not strong enough, NBA officials will bribe the judges to let him enter the final, at least four times.

After Carter took part in the 2000 dunk contest, every year the star weekend dunk contest became tepid. Even if Jason Richardson won the slam dunk King three times, it did not attract many fans.

In order to attract fans, the beauty of the dunk is only one of the elements. What's more important is that the people who take part in the dunk contest should be famous.

No matter Richardson or Nate Robinson, their popularity was not high in the past life, so the ratings and attention could not go up. Robinson is the worst. He didn't even sign a middle-class contract in his whole career in the previous life. He was a vagrant with many teams.

The official first invited is LeBron James, which is the object of this year's touted. Stern hopes that he can win the slam dunk championship, increase the exposure, so as to quickly attract a large number of fans, but James, whose head can surpass the frame after jumping up, refused.

As soon as the media reported that Guo Xu was going to take part in the slam dunk contest, the fans got excited. He is the MVP of the regular season and has two championship rings. He is the biggest player in the dunk contest since Jordan won in 1988.

Even when Jordan took part in the slam dunk competition, his fame was not as big as Guo Xu. After the regular season of 1987-88 season, Jordan won the MVP for the first time in his career, without a championship.

Guo Xu has participated in the three-point competition, technical challenge, and has won the championship. As long as he gets another dunk king, the personal challenge honor will be complete, which is an unprecedented record.

Many people immediately called on James to compete with Guo Xu and Ricky Davis, who was sent away by the Cavaliers. This would be more interesting. James did not respond at all.

Because James was afraid that he couldn't win. He was afraid that he would not win. He is very aware of his own strength, top jumping ability, but the dunk creativity, lack of flexibility, absolutely can not buckle like Vince Carter, Jason Richardson as beautiful.

Many people may not know that James once won the slam dunk contest.

In 2003, James locked in the first high school student seat in the United States, was selected as McDonald's best high school student in the United States, and participated in the high school students all star competition.

This is a national contest for all high school students to challenge James, including the slam dunk contest. Compared with the NBA all star slam dunk competition, the high school dunk competition is not bad. Many future NBA stars with amazing talent, including Kobe, have participated in this event.

At that time, everyone wanted to pull the leader down. It's not just about winning. If you beat James, you'll get all the media attention in the United States, and overnight, you'll become a household name.Some of James's competitors also left footprints in the NBA later, "hairless" Villanueva, rocket swinger Vaughan weaver, and amazing double energy guard Shannon Brown.

In the final of dunk, although Brown got 90 points in the second and the third, but the action of the first one was too complicated, and he failed to score and was given a zero point, which made James win the championship steadily and easily.

What is steady? In the final three dunks, James's highest score was only 84 points, straight forward without any pattern. The commentator praised him from the height and strength, and deliberately avoided the beauty and difficulty of his movements.

"To be fair, LeBron won the slam dunk only because he jumped high." Jr Giddens, who also participated in the competition, commented: "however, for high school students, jumping high is enough."

In the NBA, jumping high to win the slam dunk championship is not enough.

In Guo Xu's previous life, no matter how much the fans expect, how the media deceive, how the competitors excite, James is still. Carter, Kobe, Jordan Among the dazzling contestants in the dunk contest, only James is missing.

It's just that James doesn't participate. What's funny is that when he was interviewed in 2014, he seriously told reporters: "if I take part in the dunk contest, I believe I can win the championship.".

In the 2015 all star competition, James said in a round table interview: "just entered the league, I really want to participate in the slam dunk contest, this is for sure, but it did not happen, I do not know the reason. There were several times I wanted to attend, but I didn't make it. If you can participate in the dunk contest, maybe everything will be cool

He added: "I can't jump as high as I used to. I regret not participating in the slam dunk contest."

Do you regret it? How many times have your fans begged you? Process translation is the following vernacular.

"The maidservant asks the saint to come out of the palace to participate in the dunk contest."

"I'm a little tired."

"The maidservant asks the saint to come out of the palace to participate in the dunk contest."

"I really thought about it. I'll wait. I don't want to go this time, though I don't know why."

"Maidservant..."

"I can do it, but I'm old. Alas, I regret it."

The emperor said that he had the strength of a dunk king king, but because he didn't have Baozhu, jialiu, Chunxi around him, or without the company of sandeki, Fayin and Yifei, he didn't make the trip.

Well, that's it. Believe it or not.
