Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 679: [It ’s an insult, the elder is slow]

The Suns led 73 points to 40 points in the half, and even if the Suns have defensive weaknesses, the Lakers' shooting percentage is still very low.

Devin George has become the most disappointing player for the Lakers. He has the physical advantage and the shot is too bad. He has to rush to the penalty area to play. The long-range shooting rate is 30%, which is basically deserted.

After signing a middle-class long-term contract, George became very unsatisfied, and there has been no improvement in shooting. After being reimbursed for one serious injury, his physical fitness also declined significantly.

Kobe went crazy at halftime and was very dissatisfied with his teammates' defense. Guo Xu made 11 of 15 shots in the half, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and played a double-double of 31 points and 11 assists.

He entered the playoffs to prove his strength, not to find the abuse. After three consecutive championships in 2002, he has failed too many times. Many people are questioning him. He can't bear the pressure.

The Suns in Guo Xu ’s previous life were actually not strong, especially since they lost center Kurt Thomas before the playoffs, so the Lakers were able to fight the Suns for 7 games and once led 3-1. Even the Kwame Brown series averaged 12.9 points per game, showing how bad the Suns' defense is.

The defense inside and outside the Sun led by Guo Xu has no obvious weaknesses. Even if he is sent off the bench, he is good at defending. The biggest weakness may be Guo Xu ’s height, which interferes with shots poorly. .

This weakness is not so easy to catch, when Guo Xu close defense, disrupt the opponent's rhythm, to a certain extent to make up for the lack of height.

In the second half, D'Antoni let Guo Xu rest directly.

Veteran Payton is responsible for leading the team, the other four are Ariza, Howard, James Jones, David Lee. Four people above 2 meters tall, Payton is also 193CM, this lineup is not afraid of misalignment, suitable for playing defense.

The defensive system was completely established in accordance with the arrangement of assistant coach Larry Drew. All five defended the area, contracted near the restricted area, guarded against breakthroughs and offensive attacks, and interfered with shots nearby.

Kobe continued to lead the team, recovering a little score, but there is no obvious advantage against the Suns bench. The Lakers had the same problem as the first half. The outside shot was too poor, including Kobe.

The Suns leading the big score have no pressure, dare to play with and share the ball, the veteran offensive led by veteran Payton is very good.

At 4 minutes and 47 seconds, something unexpected happened to everyone.

Howard held the ball on the right side and forced Kobe to break the layup. Before jumping to the highest point, Kobe was hit by an elbow on his head and fell to the ground. The referee's whistle sounded.

Guo Xudu has already punched out of work, and Kobe played 2 of 7 shots against the Sun's bench this time. He made 2 of 2 free throws and scored only 6 points. He looked at each of the Sun players' hippie smiles and felt extremely insulted.

In the last round, Bryant broke through Ariza's bottom line, and Howard, who was defended, pulled down and fell to the ground, finally unable to suppress the fire.

Howard intentionally aimed at Kobe today, and many assisted defenses have worked. He wants to be the boss of the weak team, want to get a high salary, against Kobe, he thinks it is a good opportunity to increase exposure.

There was chaos on the court, and Howard got up from the ground and wanted to trouble Kobe.

At this time Guo Xu stood up from the sidelines and together with Kukoc signaled that the substitute teammates should not enter the field. At this time, it is easy to cause greater confusion and will be suspended.

The veteran Peyton also played a role, rushing to rush over instead of helping his teammate Kobe, but to separate the two.

There was a video replay on the big screen, and the fans all booed. Kobe Bryant was obviously a foul on the wrong ball.

After watching the video, the referee blew Kobe's first-level malicious foul and sent him off the court. The home fans again booed.

As we all know, the NBA League has some protection and favoritism for some superstars. However, when certain stars do things that affect the reputation and image of the league, the NBA will adopt a zero-tolerance attitude.

Stadium violence and malicious fouls are the league's most wanted to put an end to this season, Kobe Bryant has been suspended for the regular season.

On January 11th, during the Lakers game against the Grizzlies, Bryant and Mike Miller clashed, and the referee blew a Bryant first-level foul. Two days later, Bryant's elbow incident escalated, and the league imposed a two-game penalty.

In the third quarter of that game, Miller broke Kobe's forehead with his left hand when he made a layup. The tough Kobe returned to the field immediately after the next stitch. At the beginning of the last quarter, he used his teeth to fight back. When he defended, he elbowed Miller and caught a malicious foul.

After the game, Bryant also refused to apologize, because he felt that it was Miller who took the poison first, and that he only had to revenge.

He also vented the troubles of failure on Odom, blaming the other party for his bad performance, and did not come out to cooperate with him to make a pick-and-roll, so that he was always disturbed when he shot three points.

Based on Kobe's poor three-point shooting, can't he blame his teammates for pick-and-roll? Even if the team plus the referee give him a pick-and-roll hit rate of 40%? Odom was naturally reluctant to bear the blame, and the two fought once.

Bryant kicked a few lights angrily and broke a TV monitor. In the end when the team bus leaves, the staff can only separate the two.

Sometimes, Kobe's paranoid personality will make people unbearable. In Guo Xu's previous life, some people said that it was this kind of demand for victory and the "oppression" of himself and his teammates that made Kobe successful. In this life, Kobe wants to succeed, because he and Guo Xu's Suns are in a zone, and the team that needs his oppression has not come yet.

After Bryant left the Lakers, the Lakers lost the number one offense, morale plummeted, and they couldn't overwhelm the Suns. Even if Howard was elbowed, he would rest.

The Suns reached the end with a substitute player, Payton also rested in the final quarter, Blake was responsible for organizing the offense, David Lee was responsible for the ball attack. In the finals, the Suns beat the Lakers 37 points by 125 to 88.

Bryant played 28 minutes, 7 of 21 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 20 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

After the game, the reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate Kobe's elbow.

Guo Xu is not surprised at all. After all, Kobe Bryant has elbowed enough to make a 20-minute highlight. This is only on the defensive end, and the offense on the offensive end does not count.

Guo Xu thought for a while and said: "Obviously, he is too short-sighted for us to fight. Josh controlled his emotions very well ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Even if he loses. Players on the basketball court should Using basketball to determine victory and defeat, rather than elbowing or stepping, Kobe's approach is very bad. "

The reporter asked: "Kobe may be suspended, is this good news for the Suns?"

Guo Xu shook his head. "No, it's not good news for the Suns. No one of us wants him to be suspended. This reporter shouldn't say that we need Kobe to be banned if we beat the Lakers. It was his malicious foul, not our unscrupulous means to win. Your question makes me very uncomfortable. "

He didn't think he needed to save Kobe. If he didn't play in the second half, it would be Kobe who elbowed him.

Kobe may not be able to do this kind of thing, Kobe Bryant and "Warcraft" Howard just separated from each other and scolded each other on the court. Guo Xu has been away from the Lakers for nearly four years. He hasn't had much contact with Kobe, and his relationship has long faded.

The other Sun players also evaluated Kobe. The party ’s Josh Howard ’s evaluation was: "It's disgusting. I feel this way. I don't want to say more about this. Kobe is obviously intentional. This is not the first time he has done this.

Kobe refused to attend the press conference ... m.
