After beating the jazz, the Suns continued their road trip, challenging the Blazers back-to-back.

Before the opening of the training camp, the Blazers were the highest paid team in the league, with a total of 105.61 million, and more than 100 million yuan, excluding luxury tax. What's more, the team is full of junk contracts.

Scott Pippen, who averaged 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.6 assists, made an annual salary of 19.73 million US dollars; Damon stadamier, who averaged 6.9 points and 3.5 assists, made an annual salary of 12.38 million dollars; 6.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists, which was the slowest in the league, with 6.85 million sabonis walking and 8.06 million old blue collar veteran Dale Davis with 7 points and 7 rebounds.

Even Rashid Wallace, the first core of the Blazers team, was also rated by the media as being on the high side of the salary, because he has never reached 20 points per game in a single season and has only 8.2 rebounds per game at the peak.

The nickname "roaring heaven" sounds more fierce and aggressive than "shark". But in fact, Rashid got his nickname by yelling at referees for technical fouls. He was a power forward who relied on jump shots. He didn't get into the forbidden area. He had no lethality. He averaged 4.3 free throws per game.

All teams like the space type interior line. They can empty the forbidden area to help defenders create breakthrough space. Even if the shooting rate is lower than that under the strong attack basket, it doesn't matter. The tactical role is very important.

This style of interior often becomes an excellent second in charge, to be the team leader is not so wonderful. They can't attract the team. Each team will choose a forward with high height and strong mobility. As long as they can defend three points, they will be half successful. The two-point shot will not die.

With Rashid's ability to make fouls, if he wants to score 30 points in a single game, he needs to shoot more than 10 goals, with a shooting rate of 50%. He has to shoot at least 25 times. Can he be the leader in this efficiency?

Not to mention Rashid, even the more versatile Chris Webber didn't lead the king to the Western Conference finals before Mike Bibby joined. At present, Garnett is the most efficient player in the space type interior line, because he can snatch boards and has many assists, but he is the worst, the level of his teammates is too poor

In 2000, the Blazers made it to the western finals by the depth of the lineup and team basketball, not Rashid leading the team. O'Neal was on the edge of the team that year, so it was strange that they were not strong.

What bothers the management of the Blazers is that they don't have the right players to focus on the reconstruction, let alone trade Rashid. If they trade him, the team will be completely abandoned, and even the home attendance rate can not be guaranteed.

Because of the butterfly effect, they failed to pick Zac Randolph in the 19th place in the first round of 2001. Now LAN Pang goes to Memphis as "black bear" ahead of time.

The only good news for the Blazers was that he cut down his annual salary before the start of the game and bought out Sean Kamp, the "Rain Man" with 6.1 points and 3.8 rebounds last season. After that, camp joined the magic team freely.

For several years, the label of "high salary but low ability" has been on camp's head, making him breathless. Now, at last, he can be easy because he gave up $26.5 million in salary. Under the original contract, camp's revenue this season was $21.5 million, up from 25 million in 2003-2004. Now, the Blazers will only have to pay camp 20 million over the next 10 years.

If camp stays and the Blazers' salaries exceed 100 million, the team will pay a luxury tax of $45 million. In other words, his departure saved the Blazers more than $40 million in expenses, which is the best reward for the support "Rain Man" has given to Portland fans in two years.

There's a little bit of sparkle in anyone, and camp is no exception, and he surprised everyone with his righteous behavior.

The match was broadcast live on TNT radio. Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith began to compare Damon stadamier and Guo Xu when the players came out.

When Guo Xu first entered the NBA, many people said that he was like "little flying rat" stadamel. Now when we mention this surname, we first think of the Suns rookie inside line, not "little flying mouse". Today, Damon will stay at home and watch TV because of his injury.

During the period of raptors, he played flexibly and confidently, had a broad vision of passing, and was a very good combination of sudden points and shots, which made countless opponents headache. Now, everyone thinks he's high paid and incompetent. He's just a regular role player and is a drag on the team on the defensive side.

Barkley belittled Damon, saying that there was a huge gap between him and Guo Xu, while Smith was fair.

Smith said: "I think Damon still has the strength, he just chose a team that is not suitable for him to come to this stage, Jason is very smart, he first in the Laker and star partner to develop a handle, played confidence, and then chose the sun that best suits his style."

Barkley asked with a smile: "do you mean Damon can play well if he is in the suns?"

"He certainly won't be as good as Jason, but he won't be as bad as he is now. If a player wants to be a star, he has to join a team that suits his own style. Damon had a chance to be an all star, and he gave it up

In front of the TV, Damon felt like crying after listening to the two people's evaluation. When he was young and frivolous, he thought he was a privileged player in the Raptors, and joining other teams would also be important. As a result, he was not even the third in charge in the Blazers, and no one in the dressing room took him seriously.Now, Damon can only be silent to heal the injury, no team will let him do the core, he certainly can not return to the peak.

Guo Xu couldn't hear the explanation on the court. If he did, he would certainly agree with Smith.

There are too many examples of NBA in the past. If players play well in a team, the trade becomes useless. For example, Steve Francis, Aron Brooks, Monta Ellis, Deron Williams and so on, they left their own system.

There are also examples of "people moving to work", such as Nash, Pau Gasol, Garnett, who has fulfilled his dream of becoming a champion in the green army, and so on. All of them have found their proper positions to be the boss or abdicate to become the second leader.

The key to Guo Xu's success is to join the right team. If he had gone to the pistons, who were slow to switch between attack and defense, and Ben Wallace, who had been emptied after pick and roll, was not cutting fast, and had hit 40% of the free throw, he might be crazy now.

Big Ben grabs more rebounds, covers more caps, and his hairstyle explodes, Guo Xu, who advocates attack, can't like him.

The pistons have only 76 shots per field this season. What's the concept? When former suns coach Frank Johnson was in charge, the Suns were still able to make 80 shots. After he left, the Suns averaged 87 shots. No matter whether he was in or not, throw the ball out first.

Regardless of the free throw, the pistons are too slow to make 20 shots in a quarter. Obviously, Billups, who doesn't care about the data, doesn't push fast, and is good at half court position, is more suitable for the pistons. Guo Xu didn't go. Now they both have a good home.

The Suns against the Blazers is no suspense, under the leadership of Guo Xu, they got 10 points ahead in the first quarter, and it is the advantage in positional warfare.

The trailblazers are not slow in their first five back defense and can prevent running and bombing. Their weakness is that they don't have point guards. Their organization relies on Pippen and Derek Anderson. But Guo Xu single handedly Anderson is the opportunity, the direct dislocation.

In the second quarter, sun ran away, veteran sabonis only played for 3 minutes and was replaced. In the counterattack, two times before he returned to the half court, the Suns players played more and scored less layups.

111-85 easy to win two consecutive wins, the sun's record steadily improved.
