During the training of the Western Conference team, Guo Xu asked Yao Ming to chat in Chinese on the sidelines and made his own request, hoping that Yao Ming would help him to cover and brush up the data in the evening, and suggested that Yao Ming shoot three-pointers in the game.

This season, Yao Ming's style of playing has become simple and unpretentious. He just hooked and turned around and shot. For him, shooting three-pointers is considered a performance. As a result, Yao Ming said that he has not practiced three-pointers in the Rockets in the past two years and has no confidence in his shooting percentage.

Guo Xu couldn't help but give his opinions, unable to bear to see him wasting his talent. "Brother, don't throw away what you've been good at in the past. You can shoot and break through. You can only force yourself to play low and turn around and shoot, don't let Fan Tu harm you."

"It's not that exaggerating, right?" Yao Ming said with a wry smile. He was also a little disgusted with Van Gundy, but he just couldn't say it out.

All Rockets players feel that Van Gundy is too strict in training and is also very rigid in rotation.

Guo Xu blew and smiled: "At least I think Rudy's tactics are more suitable for you, but you didn't have enough ball rights at the beginning."

Yao Ming frowned and whispered: "He wants me to gain weight. Do you think I should listen?"

"I think you should refuse. If he forces you to gain weight, you should go to the management to force the palace and propose a deal. This way your career will last. I told you before, if you have such thick legs and lower limbs, you can see that you have strong strength at a glance. How can you gain weight if you gain weight? If you gain weight, your feet and knees are under increased pressure, that is risky."

"Thank you for your suggestion." Yao Ming nodded and made up his mind. He didn't want to gain weight. He was already very slow. How can he defend against a small guard playing pick-and-roll when he gained weight?

In his previous life, Van Gundy increased Yao Ming's weight from 132 kilograms to more than 140 kilograms, which seemed not much. In fact, it was a devastating blow to his height. His dominance did not become much stronger, but he got more ball rights after Francis and Mobley left. With more shots, he scored more points, and the efficiency was not much different.

In the later stages of Van Gundy, the Rockets' small ball tactics completely destroyed Yao Ming, and he wanted to follow him and run back and forth.

When Adelman came, it was no longer realistic to let Yao Ming lose weight. He had already been set and eventually lost to injury. Of course, part of the reason was that he played for the national team for many years, resulting in overdrawing of physical strength. It was a pity that Yao Ming retired in disgrace after only seven seasons in the NBA. Guo Xu hoped to help him change his destiny.

A large number of Chinese fans began to pay attention to NBA because of Yao Ming. After he retired, NBA had no Chinese players to play for a long time, so Chinese fans would have less fun watching the game and there would be no "Chinese home team" anymore.

After chatting for a while, Yao Ming and Guo Xu practiced pick-and-roll and catch-and-shooting together. He agreed to Guo Xu's request and was willing to help brush the data.

Yao Ming did not have the idea of ​​stealing the MVP, nor did McGrady. The Rockets duo came to relax. Guo Xu didn't need to ask McGrady, just look at his eyes. He seemed to be able to fall asleep at any time during training, as if he was touched by the "Mantis Girl".

Guo Xu's biggest competitor is Kobe. He should have the right to play as a substitute. If he is in good condition, the data will not be bad. Kobe's problem is that he is not good at communicating with others. He can't form cliques and find someone to pass the ball to him. He can only rely on himself. Guo Xu and three Suns teammates plus Yao Ming, this is a lineup.

On the evening of the 21st, the All-Star Game started.

Before the game, experts predicted that the East and West were equally strong, and the East was expected to end its losing streak this time, because after the Sharks traveled east, the East's inside line was not as disadvantaged as before.

As a result, the West led by 21 points in just halftime. Guo Xu and Lei Allen made 3-pointers, and the Western Conference's positional battles were very efficient in pick-and-roll offense.

Duncan performed the best in the first half, scoring 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in 17 minutes, and scored a three-pointer from the middle.

If this continues, Duncan, who is in a brave state, will probably get MVP. When Yao Ming left the court, he and Guo Xu cooperated very well. The screening time was perfect, the shooting was accurate, and he could also cut freely and play hard, making 7 of 10 shots.

But Popovich was unwilling to let his disciples show off, so he let Duncan be on the bench in the second half, giving other insiders the playing time. Of course, he did this not to help Guo Xu win honors, but to let Spurs players save their energy to compete in the regular season and consume more of the opponent's physical strength. He was silently cursing the opponent's injury in his heart.

Generally speaking, academic coaches are player killers, and Popovich, who teaches Larry Brown, is actually equally stubborn and terrifying.

Popovich is famous for making gold by turning stones. Some people who have been abandoned in other teams or even unable to play the ball have been beaten to rejuvenate in Popovich. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Popovich needs more system players. If you join the Spurs, those individual players will probably be discarded from their martial arts.

This old man has always disliked someone who showed off too much, so he replaced Duncan, for fear that Duncan would be proud of his amvp. The Spurs became more and more eager to use personal abilities to solve the battle and affect team cooperation.

The Spurs lineup has been well run-in this year, and the players cooperate well, which is better than last season.

The situation in the second half could not be rewritten. After playing the pick-and-roll, Guo Xu broke through and attracted the inside to switch defense. As long as the ball was passed, the inside player in the middle could get a good chance to play.

If Guo Xu does not change defense in the interior, he will break through very quickly after getting rid of it. Even if Iverson catches up on the weak side, he can still play singles, change direction and step back and step back to shoot, and Iverson can't defend one-on-one.

In the last quarter, the Western Army always maintained a lead of more than 20 points, and the Eastern Army had no hope of returning. In the end, the Western Army defeated the Eastern Conference 141-117 and continued to win in a row.

With the two playing time similar, Guo Xu completely beat Iverson, and everyone is used to it.

He made 10 of 16 shots in the game, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 30 points, 12 assists and 3 steals; Iverson made only 4 of 13 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals.

The Western Conference has better combined inside and outside, Ray Allen made 5 of 11 three-pointers, Joe Johnson made 3 of 6 three-pointers, and Kobe made 2 of 5...

The big men in the West also have stable mid-range shooting ability. Sir, Nowitzki, Garnett and Gasol are sure to catch and shoot. It doesn't matter if Duncan doesn't play in the second half.

In contrast, the Eastern Conference, both O'Neal and Ben Wallace lack range in the center position, and O'Neal Jr. has no blind spots in the mid-range shot, but he is too disadvantageous to fight against a group of star power forwards in the Western Conference alone.

In Guo Xu's previous life, this All-Star Game was relatively different. None of the stars scored 20 points. The Eastern Conference won the ball, and Iverson scored 15 points, 9 assists and 5 steals with a shooting percentage of 30.8%.

The Eastern Conference can win because the Western Conference lineup is unreasonable. Nash is the only point guard in the whole team, and there is not much playing time. McGrady and Kobe have no point guard when they play together, so it will be more difficult for the big man to defend Iverson.

Iverson has to be defeated in this life, his shooting is still inaccurate, and it is difficult to break through. Since Guo Xu is preparing to grab the MVP, he did not deliberately let the water off the defensive end, and it is difficult for Iverson to get rid of him without looking for cover.

After Guo Xu left the court, Kobe played very hard. He was very angry after becoming a substitute. He wanted to prove himself very much. He scored the second highest in the game 24 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. He played for 29 minutes, but was slightly inferior to Guo Xu.
