Chapter 635 [As soon as he is serious, he is invincible!] 】
Mike James didn't organize in front of the three-point line, and hit another three-pointer in the face of Guo Xu. 8 to 8.
Guo Xu looked at him with a writing wheel two steps away, and symbolically raised his hand, neither foot off the ground.
This is the reason why Guo Xu has never suffered a major injury since entering the league, and it is not easy for a serious injury to a style of play like him, especially on the defensive end, he rarely does his best.
No matter what sport, the more physical contact you have, the more likely you are to get injured, so in basketball you are always more likely to get injured on the inside than on the outside.
Defenders who are seriously injured are almost always based on breakthroughs, and if this player still likes to show extraordinary bounce power in the crowd after breaking through, then he is finished, either knees or ankles, sooner or later.
Guo Xu didn't mind helping James also set a personal career scoring record for this one more time, anyway, he wasn't that James.
The obvious "release of water" will affect the evaluation of the defensive end, but Guo Xu doesn't care. He never thought about winning a defensive award, and he didn't even bother to ask for it......
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu easily received the pass in the half, and no one came up to wrap it.
He was not polite, and after consecutive crotch dribbles outside the three-point line, he followed up with a step-back jumper to dodge the block, this time deflected.
David Lee rushed to grab the rebound in the front court and passed it to the Peyton organization. Guo Xu first stood in the bottom corner of the right side, then slipped to the bottom line under Valejo's off-ball cover, and ran to the bottom corner of the left side to receive a pass.
James was blocked, center Aruyu didn't come out, Guo Xu received the ball and shot easily, hollow into the net. 11 to 8.
The Raptors attacked, James simply pulled out three points, Guo Xu couldn't jump to interfere, but he hit the iron.
On the surface, James' three-point shooting rate is very high, always around 40%, and currently 44.3% this season, in fact, he has not made many three-point shots, never less than 5. And because he is a role player, the defensive intensity he faces is not very high, and he can't compete with Guo Xu.
Aruyu grabbed the rebound in the front court and was close to Vallejo. He leaned on his back, turned and threw a shot that missed the basket with a heavy interference, and David Lee grabbed the rebound for Payton.
Payton took a step and passed to Guo Xu, but James did not step forward to press.
Guo Xu easily received the ball quickly, gave full play to the speed advantage, and when he was about to hit the retreating James, he slapped the ball backwards with his left hand to his right hand, and changed his direction to the right side of the body successfully.
James saw that there was no teammate to help defend, so he hurriedly pulled someone to foul, but Guo Xu was fast and strong, so he didn't pull it. After the referee blew the whistle, Guo Xu still rushed out and scored on a three-step layup, 2+1.
The home fans shouted "MVP" as soon as they started! Guo Xu also hit a free throw, 14-8.
Barkley said: "It's a familiar scene, Jason opened the game with all the points for his team, and it was amazing. ”
Smith laughed: "If the Raptors don't contain him, maybe it will become the backdrop for him to set a high score record at home." ”
The Raptors attacked, James and Bosh played blocking and dismantling, and David Lee did not change the guard in time and let James burst in. Vallejo blocked James' shot with a defensive defense, and the latter split the ball to Aruyu.
Aruyu slowly got to the basket and wanted to dunk with one hand, but was covered by the retreating David Lee. David Lee assists in blocking is a rare thing, he actually turned around to grab a rebound, but he unexpectedly saw the ball carrier, jumped up and covered it casually, but he didn't expect the other party to look at the side and have no defense.
Howard picked up the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu for a solo fast break.
James didn't get close again, this time he retreated very far back, and Guo Xu grabbed three points on the right side two meters away from the three-point line. James didn't have time to jump the ball before he flew to the basket and hit! 17 to 8.
Coach Mitchell asked for a timeout, and Guo Xu had already scored 17 points in just 4 minutes of the game, which was very scary, and it looked like a rhythm of 30+ in a single quarter. And this is all caused by the coach's mistake in arranging the lineup, Guo Xu shot too easily, easier than the first quarter against the Knicks.
When Guo Xu got off the field, the fans applauded, and they all had a hunch that there was a good show to watch today.
The Sun did not make substitutions or change tactics, just to help Guo Xu play. He drew a tight pack and split the ball, and the others thought about stepping up and scoring.
D'Antoni is willing to help Guo Xu get a high score, which is a task given by the boss himself. No matter what the Sun's record is in the regular season, help Guo Xu score an average of 40 points per game first, and then the Suns will not be able to attract fans and advertisers in the future, which is a long-term benefit.
There's also one player who is frustrated by this, and that's Josh Howard, who has now come up with the idea of going. He thought that hurting a few people would be a good opportunity for him to rise, but the coaching staff did not give him the ball and did not want to develop him.
In fact, this is too normal, let David Lee, who has a good appearance and attract fans, not cultivate, and let Howard shoot more? Except for the "little general" Johnson, who would want to see such a person kill all sides? The skull that he laughed so often after scoring a goal was about to buck out.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Howard never received 100,000 votes in the All-Star Poll, and his popularity was much lower than that of Marion.
As the game continued, the Raptors replaced Peterson with backup point guard Jose Calderon, also playing a two-guard formation. The move was to make it easier to contain Guo Xu and let Peterson take the bench in the second quarter.
Bosh went out to play a block and dismantle, received the ball and broke through after facing David Lee, and scored a one-handed smash in front of Valejo's defense, and caused a foul.
Boshga also hit the penalty and showed good individual ability. 17 to 11.
Bosh has been improving every year, has established the core position of the Raptors, trained into the little prince of mid-pitching, and can break through the frame. He looks like Garnett at times, but the defense can't compare to Garnett.
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu was caught by two point guards just after half of the court, and Payton was released.
Guo Xu took a step to protect the ball and passed the ball back to Payton, who brought it to the three-point line without hurry, attracting Calderon to chase and continue to organize.
Mitchell knew that Guo Xu couldn't be allowed to play alone, but the player was just a little bit on the court. Guo Xu first went to the bottom corner of the right side, and then slipped to the bottom line and ran to the left, and the Raptors became a single defense again.
It's not just a single defense, center Aruyu didn't change his guard in time after encountering an off-ball cover, and James didn't chase the defense fast enough after being blocked by Vallejo.
Guo Xu received the ball from the middle in the bottom corner of the left side, made a quick shot, and the ball hollowed into the net. 20 to 11.
Barkley said: "Jason made his fifth three-pointer, and the defense was still not good after the Raptors called a timeout, and he took an easy shot and missed once. ”
Smith laughed: "It's never a good idea for the Raptors to attack the Suns in a domineering way. ”
Guo Xu saw that the score was widening, and he retreated directly to the free throw line when he defended against James, and he didn't defend himself when he was defending against "Ji Bu Attack", generally only Rondo can enjoy this kind of treatment, and now "Long Bu Shot" has not entered the league.
James usually practices three-point shooting, and when he sees that the defense doesn't cooperate, he hits a three-point jumper without interference. 20 to 14.
The home fans applauded, not for James, and many people felt that Guo Xu was too handsome, completely despised the opponent, and leaked well!
Now Guo Xu's attitude to play the game has given fans inexplicable confidence, as long as he enters the playoffs, he will be serious about defense, and the lineup will be rotten like this, and the Suns seem to be able to win the championship.
After two consecutive 70+ games, a new term has appeared in the NBA called "Jason Guo who plays seriously", and many people believe the nonsense he said after the time loop, thinking that he was playing for the first two seasons.
As soon as he is serious, he is invincible!
