Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu took the ball to the frontcourt, the same routine as before, and opened the space to the weak side belt after the pick-and-roll. This time Payton did not chase, and the middle road changed to Stadamer.

"Zen Master" Jackson doesn't like joint defense very much. Most of the time he uses people to mark people. At most, when the opponent's breakthrough is strong, the outside three points are not very good. Let the players shrink towards the penalty area for pseudo joint defense.

The Lakers are good at bringing opponents into their own rhythm, fighting singles and winning games with a wealth of experience. Every time the cover is changed, you can always maintain the oppression of each offensive player, but it is only a test of the player's single defense ability.

When the defender plays the pick-and-roll with the ball, after the big man delays the defender's breakthrough, retreating to the original position will have a short period of defensive vacuum. This vacuum period is almost empty in the eyes of excellent pitchers. So this requires changing defense players to withstand the ball-free pick-and-roll players, and also has certain requirements for the rotation of the team.

Payton is a heavy defender. He is not afraid of misplaced defense against Stoudemire, which can both interfere with his shooting and delay his speed. However, Malone's misplaced defense against Guo Xu is more difficult.

Guo Xu took a step towards Ma Long. When he nearly ran into it, he strode around and passed by Ma Long, successfully scoring into the basket. He attracted O'Neill to make a defense and jumped out of the baseline to create a passing space, giving Diop on the left a close range.

Diop was completely empty, catching the ball and stepping into the basket with one hand to dunk the basketball. O'Neill turned back and blocked, 4 to 4.

The Lakers attacked and the ball passed to O'Neill again. This time he turned to the middle to take the ball and swayed the ball, shaking Diop up, hitting and missing the shot, causing a foul.

Guo Xu walked to Diop and patted his back. When he bent down, he said, "It's good defense. Try not to jump around. You just need to interfere with people."

"Understood, I will be careful." Diop nodded and smiled as if he had won.

He only scored two points on the offensive end. Even if he played, he was very happy. And he thinks that he can start and defend O'Neal is successful, this feeling of recognition is really good.

O'Neal made two free throws, 4-5.

The Sun's offense is still the same routine. Stoudemire and Guo Xu play pick and roll. The opponent can't resist, and they fight endlessly. It is reasonable to score, and D'Antoni's tactics are star tactics.

Guo Xu walked to the right, opened the space by speed and Payton, held the spherical frame at a position of about 50 degrees, Payton did not chase, Guo Xu singled Malone, crotch dribble to the left hand to change to the right, attracting Malone After the move, dribble the back of the left hand and take a step back.

Ma Long's first step was to keep up with distance and experience. Guo Xu couldn't help him the second time.

Kobe rushed from the bottom line to make up for the defense. Guo Xu jumped and passed the ball to the right corner. Bell, who would not run around, received a three-pointer shot. Malone had a good defense awareness and slightly interfered with the bottom corner. Suddenly, the ball missed.

This ball opportunity came out, Kobe Bryant didn't make up the defense, Guo Xu simply shot, and there was a loophole in the bottom corner after making up the defense.

The Lakers attacked and Payton passed O'Neal a low singles. This time he leaned back twice and turned to the bottom line to throw. He missed the basket under Diop's interference and Stoudemire grabbed a rebound in the backcourt.

This is the value of the blue-collar center Diop. It does n’t matter if he can attack. He can withstand a few inside players who ca n’t withstand the ball. He can withstand it, so that the opponent can only shoot away from the basket and use long arms. Disturb, block.

If you find a rough reference for Diop's strength, he is Chuck Hayes with stronger defense and worse offense.

Sun attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire played pick-and-roll, Ma Long defended out and wanted to force Guo Xu to the periphery. It was a good idea, but his legs were too open, which gave the opponent a chance to perform.

Guo Xu left the ball with a quick left hand and passed under Marlon's crotch. At the same time, he accelerated to get rid of the sideways and picked up the basketball in two steps. Because his position was close to the bottom line, he attracted Kobe's defense.

This time Malone was too far away and didn't turn the defense to interfere with the corner shot. Bell made a three-pointer from the open. 7 to 5.

The Lakers attacked, Payton played pick-and-roll, took the ball to break away from Guo Xu and wanted to return one, overestimated his own speed and underestimated Stoudemire's bounce. His quick layup was caught by Stoudemire's chasing and defending pinboard. George bounced back and grabbed an offensive rebound. He strengthened his shot and succeeded 7-7.

The two sides are coming and going, evenly matched in the first quarter, and the Lakers veteran star is not afraid of any team when he is full of energy.

Unlike the Lakers opener, Kobe became a role player, Payton didn't pass him much, and worked closely with the two insiders. Bell followed Bryant inseparably, making it difficult for him to catch the ball.

Since entering the league, Bell's defensive attitude has always been full marks, which is his capital in the NBA. He has scored, and his goal is to open Bryant as late as possible.

Bryant finally broke through. Bell immediately fouled and prevented him from easily shooting or scoring a basket. At 6 minutes, Bell, who committed two offences, was replaced, Joe Johnson played, and the task of defending Kobe was handed over to Marion.

After playing a full quarter, Kobe Bryant made 1 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, only 4 points and 3 rebounds, without assists.

O'Neal's performance is also very general, 2 of 4 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, 6 points and 3 rebounds.

Peyton was the Lakers' best performer, scoring 5 points and 7 assists. By virtue of the organization, George got 6 points and Malone scored 8 points.

The Suns are 30 to 32 behind at home.

Guo Xu mainly broke through. He also made two three-pointers when he counterattacked, hit a goal, and scored 7 points and 6 assists in a single quarter.

The Suns all scored in their five starters. Joe Johnson, who came off the bench, scored 5 points and made a three-pointer. Only Marion performed poorly. He scored 2 points and 1 rebound on 1 of 3 shots.

In the first half of the second quarter, Joe Johnson and Nene performed well and led the team to suppress the Lakers' bench.

"Cobra" Horace Grant joined the Lakers again, and it was no match for the 2001 championship. His speed was too slow and he became an ordinary blue-collar center. After Robert Horry joined the Spurs, the Lakers lacked a power forward who could make a three-point shot. Medvedenko could make a mid-range shot, and the traverse speed was too slow to qualify as a power forward defense.

In order to strengthen the offensive rotation, Kobe Bryant rested for three minutes in the first quarter, and in the second quarter with Fisher outside partner, they did not hit a high percentage of defense under Blake and Howard.

After Bell and Howard reported to the team ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Guo Xu was often singled out. Although most of the time they were abused miserably, they also accumulated experience of single defense stars. Obvious progress will not be easily passed.

In the second half, the main players came back. D'Antoni did not send Diop for the offense. O'Neal made it easier for Nene in the singles. He scored 4 of 6 shots and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists to help the Lakers bit the score.

The sun led 58-56 at halftime.

Guo Xu took a five-minute break this quarter, scoring 7 points and 3 assists, and 14 points and 9 assists almost completed the double-double.

Kobe is strictly guarded, the offense in this field is not strong, the data is a bit ugly, 0 for 3 shots, 1 for 2 free throws, only 1 point in a single quarter, 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in half.

Zhang reasonable commented: "Guo Xu was too brave in the first two games. Today I only scored 14 points in the first half. I think he is a bit out of order. Other players can get 20 + 10 is a super defender. He has to feel 30 + 20. Just normal. "

Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "He may hit 30 + 20 today, and Payton can't prevent him."
