Legend of Tomorrow

In the first round of the Western Conference, the biggest gimmick is the Suns vs. the Lakers.

Because Guo Xu ’s career started with the Lakers, the Lakers did not renew his contract because of Kobe on the outside, and Jordan once commented that Kobe is a better player than Guo Xu. Every time the two meet, they can attract fans. eyeball.

Most fans believe that the sun will sweep through the promotion, only a small number of Comet feels that the Lakers will be upset and create a black eight miracle, the Phoenix first game tickets were quickly sold out.

In the NBA playoffs, 13 players are allowed to be reported, but only 12 people played by solar, all of whom entered the roster.

Previously, some media predicted that one of "Little Bully" Stadamayer and Marion would return in the playoffs, but the result was not. Team doctor Carter advised them not to do so. It was a career risk. And the Suns regular season record has proven its strength, the current lineup is not incapable of impacting the championship.

The Lakers also played in the best lineup, with no injuries. This season they worked well and won many strong teams in the second half.

In the interview before the game, Phil Jackson was very low-key. He said: "The Sun is stronger. Jason Guo should be seriously defending in the playoffs. In this case, it is difficult to beat them. We can only work hard. Try it. "

At the goal hall, Guo Xu in a suit also accepted an interview with reporter Audrey Jones.

Jones asked him to predict the outcome of the game. Guo Xu said: "Sweep, it's that simple. I won't let Parker take the shot easily in the playoffs. I won't walk on the defensive end. We are all ready to win."

Audrey asked: "What is your goal this season?"

"Of course it's the championship. We hurt three generals this year, but the bigger goal is no harm."

After entering the locker room, D'Antoni said a few words to encourage morale, and then arranged tactics to let Guo Xu break through the ball.

"Jason, I hope you can help your teammates in the first round of confidence, reduce the number of personal shots, they lack experience in the playoffs, the first round can be used as a workout, even if you lose one or two games can be accepted, is good for the next game. "

Guo Xu laughed: "I understand, but I don't think I will lose. As long as you don't get nervous, you can play well. What can be nervous about this? I don't defend well in the regular season. You can all make up for the defensive vacancy. Season In the playoffs, everyone can win by giving me the ball on the premise of a solid defense. We are strong. "

Guo Xu paused and said aloud: "I promise not to be lazy on the defensive end anymore, everyone is fighting, my nickname is 'Guo Bufen', if you let the opponents score more points than the point guards There are many, do n’t blame me on the media. "

The players gave a burst of laughter, and their minds were relaxed.

Because they all know that there is a kind of player called "serious Jason Guo", and they often see it during training. Guo Xu and Peyton are a defensive player with superb physical fitness. How can the defense be poor? His only weakness is that he is short and does not interfere with the shooting. It is impossible for the opponent to pass him easily, and he can defend the face and the back.

Guo Xu really helped his teammates to build confidence by releasing water in the regular season. His lazy sun defense is not bad. If he is serious, his opponent can score high against the sun? And entering the playoffs, the coaching staff will reduce David Lee's playing time and strengthen defense.

In the visiting team's locker room, "Zen Master" Jackson also ordered Kobe to pass more balls, set the ball up, and spend more time is the key to winning.

The Lakers coaching staff analyzed the data and believed that the Suns can still get the best record this season, relying on Guo Xu's super personal ability and overall offensive efficiency.

On the surface, the sun is a group of unknown people who share playing time. Only Guo Xu and Howard averaged more than 30 minutes per game. However, the role players of the Sun led by Guo Xu had a high shooting percentage. When the data is put together, there is a star.

Jackson hopes that Kobe will play like Guo Xu, attract a double-pointer and improve the shooting rate of his teammates. This is the only way for the Lakers to win. Kobe's statistics are pretty good, the hit rate is not good, and the efficiency is not as good as the two of the Sun's two combined, because the Sun's 2nd scoring method is to throw three points, very accurate.

Jackson told Kobe. "You have to lead your teammates, don't end up throwing up against Jason, it doesn't make sense. If the Lakers create the Black Eight Miracle, even if he averages 40 points in the series, the person who gets the high evaluation will be you."

Kobe moved his mouth, thinking that we could win, even if the guy averaged 40 points per game and the sun swept the Lakers.

Can Guo Xu deal with Smash Parker and Monta Ellis? This position is not easy.

Before the game started, Kobe was in a bad mood and did not have the confidence to win.

In many cases, the master knows whether he can win by looking at the lineup, and strong teams cannot have obvious defensive weaknesses. The stars have always been very tough, and morale is necessary, although sometimes it is just hard-mouthed.

Kobe knew that Guo Xu didn't try his best to defend in the regular season. He often performed outrageously on the defensive end. He dared to admit that he was unwilling to defend and deliberately slacked off. Kobe also knows Guo Xu's true defensive level, and he can play against him in the rookie season, but it is not a good shot.

When the players played, Guo Xu received the warmest applause, and Kobe received a lot of applause.

This is the second time in Kobe ’s career that he has averaged 30+ per game in a single season. Players who can do this are not easy. He is already a super scorer who can be named in NBA history. The home audience expects him and Guo Xu to stage The fierce battle.

Unfortunately, Kobe failed to win the scoring title twice with 30+.

During the warm-up, Guo Xu practiced a mid-range shot and made 3 shots without shooting the team's high arc.

This live broadcast of TNT radio, Barkley noticed this and laughed: "Jason is preparing to make a three-pointer in midfield. He was practicing this while warming up. Smash Parker did not look here. If he saw it, He must have been flustered. "

Smith said: "Super three-point ability makes Jason the most difficult defender in the NBA. His range is too far, and there is a very fast speed and sharp breakthrough. Iverson admits that Jason is faster than him. And can be seen when playing the game. "

Buckley laughed: "When the rookie season, many people said that Jason is an ordinary person playing the NBA, is a floor flow player, he almost said that when he was in the Lakers, until he took the dunk king, which is really funny."

Smith said: "I didn't think his quality was so good at the beginning ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ He worked harder when he was in the Lakers, and he started to be lazy after his body was trained. He didn't practice, he didn't practice anymore O'Neill also ruled the restricted area without training, and now Jason rules the outside. "

Barkley said: "The shooting feel is also a talent. There are media reports that Kobe is practicing hard three-pointers and soft hands. Last summer there was a video of his training out, but his shooting rate is still very low."

Sun: Guo Xu, Bell, Howard, Haslem, Valejo.

Looking at the lineup, we know that the sun is going to defend seriously, without double guards and David Lee. David Lee is a defensive black hole. Even if he tries hard to defend, his weakness can't be compensated.

As Stoudemire played at center, David Lee didn't defend well in the penalty area. His height is not as good as that of Stoudemire. If the Lakers give Bogut a low shot, he can't stand it. The fast-paced fight between the two teams is when David Lee plays.

Lakers: Parker, Kobe, Butler, Odom, Bogut.

Jackson has no reservations, the team sent the best team.

Bogut won the ball and the game began ... m.
