Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu performed poorly in the second half, making 8 of 20 shots, 2 of 8 3-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and 23 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists.

Stardamer scored 27 points and 8 rebounds, the highest in the team; Marion 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.

The worst performer was Joe Johnson, 3 of 13 shots, 1 of 5 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only 9 points and 3 assists, which made the Sun fans very disappointed.

On the Timberwolves, the "Three-Headed Monster" scored 63 points on all occasions and Szebiak also scored 11 points.

After the game, the Timberwolves "three-headed monster" participated in the press conference and all expressed their confidence to beat the Sun to advance to the finals.

Cassell scored 20 points and 6 assists. The data did not lose to Guo Xu, proving his strength on the offensive end. This man is very disgusting and always takes to the weak side after pick-and-roll. If he does not attract the inside to change defense, Guo Xu with the back of the ball singled out is not good defense and can't cover it. His shooting ability is also good.

After winning the game, Kassel was very happy and said in an interview: "Isn't Jason want to see my expression after the game? Now he can see it."

After that, Kassel showed a stiff smile, and the reporters shrank back.

Garnett satirized Guo Xu with pleasure. "We are a group of fighters, and we will never lose to players who ran to shoot MVs of little girls during the playoffs and went to college concerts. We love basketball more than Jason Guo."

Sprewell also said: "We have a way to deal with the sun, they can break through their defense line in the regular season, they just rely on running tactics in the face of weak players easy to win, once the rhythm slows down, there will be problems , They are not as powerful as they thought. "

When it was Sun's turn to be interviewed, the reporter told Guo Xu of Garnett and others. Guo Xu shook his head and smiled, "They said so well, and I was speechless."

If you lose, you lose, there is no need to find a reason, but you have to win four games in the playoffs to advance, he is not worried about the next game.

The reporter asked: "Do you regret going to shoot MV?"

"Is there anything to regret? The appointment with my friend should be done, and even if I go back to Phoenix and stay at home for two days, I will definitely not practice immediately. We have a full week off."

The reporter asked: "Miss Fox and you filmed Avril Lavigne's MV together, and today you watched the game in the front row of the home court. Some media broke the news that you are in the same community. Are you living together?"

"Let's discuss the basketball game, and we will talk about emotions after the season ends." Guo Xu smiled embarrassingly.

He originally admitted that he wanted someone to ask, but he lost today and it's better to keep it concealed.

If this confidant admits that he has a girlfriend, with the media's habit of peeing, Meghan must be portrayed as "Su Daji". As the saying goes, there is a knife on the front of some characters, and some fans will also say that Megan defended Guo Xu.

In fact, it is because the time of the rest is too long that the Sun players have a problem. It is too late.

Such a long rest will make the players feel a little weird, such as occasional problems with inattention. They are used to a relaxed state, and there is not much room for mistakes in the playoffs.

When training, Marion said that it was a bit like an offseason. Their training intensity has not been high. They went home and rested casually, waiting for the game to start.

The training intensity of the Suns is not directly related to the geographical location. The weather in Phoenix is ​​too hot. It was only May, and the daytime temperature was already above 30 degrees. Under such conditions, everyone is reluctant to train in high intensity, and D'Antoni is pursuing a fast-paced offensive and defensive conversion, ensuring physical strength is the key, and Guo Xu is to solve the problem in positional combat.

In terms of tactics, the Timberwolves do restrain the sun. They can limit the fast break and force their opponents to play positions. When Madsen and Garnett played together, the Timberwolves' inside speed was also very fast.

After the game, many people on the Internet changed their tone. There are more people who are optimistic about the Timberwolves to advance to the final and win the championship.

Some experts analyzed the lineup, thinking that the Timberwolves lineup is better than the sun, the "three-headed monster" just teamed up right, but they all have rich experience in the playoffs, the two have finals experience.

In 1999, Sprewell played the core of the Knicks in the finals, but lost to the Spurs.

Kassel was selected 24th in the first round of 1993 by the Rockets. Fortunately, he won two consecutive championships in the Rockets as soon as he entered the league.

Although Garnett has never passed the first round of the playoffs before, he has now reached the peak of his career in various abilities. If this is not the king of Guo Xu's three statistics, his performance is enough to win MVP.

The Suns performed well in the regular season, but they are too young. The core players are young. The veteran has only one Kokocchi, and he has become a marginal player. There is no chance to play. Running and banging is an extreme tactic. Once the opponent can run well, it won't work.

Most of the basketball experts are some "post-mortems". Before the series started, the Sun was gaining momentum. The first two rounds swept through the promotion. No one mentioned the experience of young players. As soon as the Sun lost, they began to analyze the sun's weaknesses The reason for losing.

To put it bluntly, neither side has an overwhelming advantage. The team with better luck and better player status wins.

The second battle continued in Phoenix.

Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, Bell and others improved their shooting in the morning. The coaching team believes that as long as they are not iron outside the three-point line, they can successfully beat the Timberwolves.

In the cheering of the Sun fans, the home team performed very well in the opening. Although Guo Xu was tightly guarded, it was difficult to easily make a mobile phone meeting, but after attracting the bag, he frequently assisted his teammates and scored. With 10 assists, he also scored 13 points and hopefully scored a double-double.

The Suns led 18 points 65 to 47 at halftime.

In the positional battle, the Timberwolves defended Guo Xu more successfully, but he singled Kassel in the counterattack.

The Timberwolves' tactics are to reduce the offensive and defensive rhythm and grind their positions; the Sun tries to bring the rhythm up and the players run at full speed.

The Timberwolves have a high center and it is not easy to defend. Haslem is mainly defended against Garnett. As long as he runs back, Stoudemire will play against Johnson or Olawokandi. Advantage.

In the third quarter, the defense of both sides was excellent. The shooting percentage of the players dropped. The single quarter was 20 draws. The Sun led into the final quarter.

In the first half of the last quarter, the sun maintains its advantage, and the second half of the storm changes suddenly.

Sprewell suddenly blew his wind, hitting three three-pointers in a row, and also made a breakthrough layup to 21, even scored 12 points with a jump shot to help the Timberwolves catch up with the point difference Nate and Kassel's CIC helped the Timberwolves reverse in the last 15 seconds.

The Sun was only one point behind. After the timeout, D'Antoni arranged a singles tactic, sending Bell, Joe Johnson, Marion, Stoudemire and Guo Xu as partners.

This is the sun's strongest attacking lineup can open up space, Guo Xu attracted the team can divide the ball to help teammates create a mobile phone meeting.

As soon as the out-of-bounds were sent, the Timberwolves made a package to Guo Xu. He passed the ball to Joe Johnson, who passed Marion after a three-pointer to attract rotation and defended. Marion missed the left bottom slot. Basket.

The Sun, who was one point behind, had to take a foul tactic. Garnett made two free throws, widening the point difference to three points.

After that, Guo Xu was caught and passed the ball to Kukocci. Although the veteran was experienced, he played too little time this year. He was unable to grasp the opportunity when he was in danger and missed the open jumper.

101 to 104, the sun lost again ... Legend of Tomorrow
