After the star game, the Suns lost in the first game, 95-110 away to the Timberwolves.
As soon as the young players relax during the holidays, it is difficult to guarantee the state. Howard, Steve Blake and others perform poorly. Joe Johnson and Marion also feel bad. The Suns mainly rely on Guo Xu, Nene and Haslem.
Haslem played beyond the level of the game, cutting a career high 22 points, 10 rebounds, 14 shot 10, but it was an empty cut.
The Timberwolves small forward szebiac has returned and the team has added a star.
Without half a season, szebiak's performance is not as good as last season, but his appearance is a stable three-point shooting point, which can help his teammates to open up space, and is definitely more reliable than blue collar swing man Trenton Hassell in the starting line.
Szebiak scored nine points and hit a key three pointer in the end.
The Suns lost twice to Timberwolves in the regular season, which is a strong opponent in the playoffs. "Wolf king" Garnett is also the regular season MVP popular candidate, this season each data all reached the career peak.
Guo Xu has a greater chance of winning the MVP again. One is that the Suns have a better record, and the other is that he has two key data to beat Garnett. At present, he has won the scoring king and the assists king. In terms of steals, he also has the opportunity to become the first in the league. At present, he has 2.4 points per game, which is equal to Byron Davis. His efficiency value of 30.5 is also higher than that of Garnett's 29.4, ranking first and second in the league.
Winning MVP will greatly improve the player's status. Garnett now has a feeling of "he Shengliang, Yu Shengyu".
On February 18, there were several big deals in the NBA.
"Smile Assassin" Thomas transformation of the Knicks has not stopped, hope that the team will make a difference in the playoffs this year.
The Knicks, bucks, hawks in the three-way deal, Van Horn was sent to the Bucks, Knicks got Tim Thomas and hawks center Muhammad. The Hawks got Michael doriac of the Knicks and Joel pulchbilla of the Bucks, as well as a second round draft in 2005.
Van Horn averaged 16.4 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, which was the team's third attack point, second only to Marbury and Houston. Thomas averaged 14.1 points and 5 rebounds per game for the Bucks, with the advantage of better three-point shots.
The Hawks sent out stars Sharif Rahim and Jackie Vaughn in exchange for the warriors' expiring contracts, Avery Johnson and van exell.
The deal is purely for the sake of a bad deal. The Hawks, who were badly injured in pennies Hadaway, are hopeless this season, and their salaries are still very high, because they had eaten a bad deal from Trier Brandon. In this way, they can free up more than 20 million salary space in the summer.
The warriors are also bad teams. The purpose of poaching Rahim is to get an experienced star to sit in and rebuild in the summer.
Today's biggest deal is that the pistons sent guards Lynch hunt, chuck Atkins, a first round draft right next season, and 2003 top pick Dako Milicic to the Blazers, winning star power forward Rashid Wallace and guard Mike James.
Prior to the deal, the pistons won 50 games for two consecutive years, but never made it to the finals. Rashid will be the last piece of puzzle on their way to the top. Rashid brings not only attack, but also great contribution of defense.
Guo Xu thought the big deal of pistons would not happen because the Hawks had sent Ratliff to the bucks and didn't have enough chips to move the Blazers to Rashid Wallace.
In a previous life, the pistons didn't waste any money and recruited Rashid, who only played for the Hawks, into the lineup, and cleared up the garbage contract by the way. Now the Hawks did not participate, the pistons would have to "bleed" if they wanted to strengthen, and finally they chose to bear the pain and send out Milicic, who had been sitting on the bench.
At the beginning, coach Larry Brown refused to accept the deal. He wanted to die with Milicic. He thought that the rookie should guard the water fountain under his own hands for four years, and there was no reason to focus on training other teams.
As a result, piston's boss got angry and called Brown himself and asked him a serious and not elegant question. "Are you sb?"
This question is not easy to answer. In order to prove that he is not sb, Brown has to agree to release Milicic, the league's strongest marginal man who will never be cultivated.
Milicic wept with joy after he got the news. Only singing could express his inner excitement and admiration for the pioneers.
Fly around, I fly around, full of hope, I am like a bird. I don't want to be numb any more. I don't want to be manipulated by others. I don't want to waste my life in a lie He failed to make the sports headlines.
It's bad news for other teams. Rashid is the poor man's version of Garnett. This "grassroots" pistons have a lineup comparable to the "grassroots" suns.
The pioneers sent Rashid away because they wanted to rebuild. Before that, they sent Bonzi Wells to magic in exchange for pelson. They're willing to trade as long as there's a new talent they can cultivate, Rashid has no potential to tap, and the Portland fans don't like him anymore.
Fans have found out that Rashid is a soft guy. He earned the nickname "roaring God" by howling at the referee and never had a fight. His character also has the problem, has a bit of dressing room cancer attribute, once threw towel to veteran sabonis in public.Rashid's advantages are also obvious, the style of play is selfless, defense is stronger than attack, this kind of players only look at the data is easy to underestimate.
He had a problem with rebounding, with a career high of 8.2 and the rest floating around 7 rebounds. In 1999-00, he reached the western finals, averaging 6 rebounds per game in 16 playoffs. His offense relies on shooting, which is very unstable. In the last few minutes of the Western Conference finals, the guy himself dropped five balls and was overturned by the Lakers.
Guo Xu thinks that this is not the inertia of history, but a certain necessity, which can not be changed by his butterfly effect. Because the piston management has long been interested in Rashid, clear that his style of play is suitable for the team system, will try every means to trade him.
If you don't strengthen the No. 4 position, the pistons can only achieve 50 wins this season, and it's hard to win the second round of the playoffs, no matter the nets or the Pacers. After the transaction, the piston's card lineup is obviously better than the other two eastern strong teams, and the probability of reaching the finals increases sharply.
The pistons boss's idea is that no one can lose to the Pacers, and since coach Rick Carlisle's news conference, laughing and thanking the pistons and joining the Pacers, the two teams have become enemies.
Sun manager Brian corangillo has asked Guo Xu if he needs a mid-term trade. The Suns currently have only 14 players, and there is still a vacancy. Guo Xu said no, this set of lineup is enough to win the championship.
There are no shortage of people in all positions of the sun, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. Even if a potential new player is traded, he can only be transferred to the development alliance like James Jones.
With the rebirth of Guo Xu, the Suns are not worried about finding new people to cultivate. At the 2004 draft convention, they had one first round draft right and two second round draft rights. Even if the ranking was relatively low, it was easy to take out a few potential babies.
Suns can also sign in the free market, the rookies should not be too many, the team wants to win the championship need is excellent, that is, combat power. With the sun's performance this season, there should be many people willing to join in this summer to hold Guo Xu's thighs.
Manager Brian listened to Guo Xuyan's plan. Guo Xu said that he was confident to win the championship. He believed that there must be.
He can achieve success in the entertainment industry, not to mention his best basketball?
