In Guo Xu's previous life, people often said that Kobe Bryant didn't trust his teammates, but in fact, he still trusted, it depends on who his teammates are.

Kobe Bryant often goes head-to-head with Guo Xu in the team, knowing how much Guo Xu's defensive ability has improved, Iverson doesn't play blocking and dismantling, he doesn't think about assisting defense at all, and follows Snow. In this case, it was very difficult for Snow, who already lacked range, to score.

The 76ers players wanted to rush to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, but they were resisted by Grant and O'Neal on left and right, and they couldn't jump, so they could only watch O'Neal easily tilt his toes and grab the ball with one hand.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu played a block in the middle and passed to O'Neal on the left, O'Neal turned around in the corner position and took the ball to the frame, first took a small step to the right with the ball in his left hand, and then changed to the left side sharply, jumped up and threw at the bottom line and missed under the interference of Mutombo.

Although the ball didn't go in, O'Neal attracted two defenders in the low post, Grant grabbed the rebound in the middle, the second offense missed under Teylon's interference, Mutombo grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and the 76ers struggled to defend the next round.

The 76ers attacked, Iverson singled out Guo Xu, forced a breakthrough and turned to shoot, and finally hit a mid-range shot under interference. 24 to 5.

Guo Xu immediately returned the color, not a strong hit, but an assist.

He played with Grant in the middle to break down the left side, and Fox slipped to the bottom left corner with O'Neal off the ball to cover and prepare to form a triangle on this side. McGee was slow to chase after being blocked, and Mutombo didn't change his guard out of the box.

Guo Xu saw the opportunity and passed it to Fox, who aimed at the bottom corner and shot a three-point shot, and hit another one!

27 to 5, Guo Xu's third assist.

The biggest weakness of the iron bucket formation, pseudo joint defense, is the two bottom corners, and it is too difficult for players to change defenses or rotate.

The 76ers attacked, Iverson became more and more impatient, wanted to return one, ran on the left side to catch the ball and shoot a three-point jumper, he ran out of the space by covering, Guo Xu didn't have time to jump up to interfere, but the ball bounced out of the frame.

Even if there is no one to defend, Iverson's long-range shot is not accurate, it is purely a gamble. This is the same situation as when Guo Xu went to the side of the Lakers, it is not possible to shoot by feel, Guo Xu did not practice mid-range shooting at that time, and the mid-range shooting rate of the test was not as high as three points.

Without him, only the hand is familiar.

Next, the Lakers were firmly in control.

Iverson played aggressively, he tried to break through, saw the stitches, and even rushed to grab a frontcourt rebound, scoring a team-high 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter. However, he only made 4 of 13 shots, which was extremely inefficient.

Guo Xu scored 8 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, 3 of 4 shots, and 2 of 3 three-pointers.

Other players O'Neal had nine points and five rebounds, Fox had 10 points and four rebounds, and Grant had four points and two rebounds. Bryant was the least scorer of the starters, only taking two shots, and was selflessly terrible, scoring 2 points and 3 assists.

The Lakers blossomed on multiple points, leading by 20 points at 33-13 in the first quarter.

Everyone feels that the two sides have won and lost, and the focus of this game has changed from "who can win"? It became "How many points can the Lakers win against their opponents"?

The 76ers couldn't open up on the offensive end at all, and pseudo-fans could see that.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Iverson had a clear advantage in single-handing Fisher, he attracted a bag to assist his teammates, and the Lakers let Brian Shaw replace Fisher in the first quarter in order to limit him, and then let Kobe Bryant defend. Iverson played Kobe Bryant, and his performance was not bad.

The Lakers' defensive tone is to defend Iverson all over the court, trying to keep him from receiving the ball, and now this task Guo Xu has completed it himself, and the two are running on the court, and the speed is not much different.

Iverson played blocking and dismantling or did not wrap up until the Lakers players in the low post, which not only limited Iverson, but also prevented Snow and McGee. These two have a certain offensive ability with the ball, but it depends on who the opponent is, and the defensive experts against the Lakers obviously suffer a loss.

Brown fielded four starters in the second quarter, with Iverson, McGee, Teylon, and Mutombo all resting, and only one Raja Bell off the bench.

Brown sent his most important treasure since he coached, and success or failure is in this move. The name of this magic weapon is "Dead Main Force", and the whole team only has six or seven people in rotation, and the others are responsible for shouting 666 on the sidelines, and this is how they broke through in the east.

In a sense, it's a great metaphysics, but it's a pity that Brown has hair, and metaphysics isn't at home.

On the side of the Lakers, Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant did not rest, and continued to play with substitutes, and the other three were Fisher, Horry, and Grant.

Grant, who had a four-minute break in the first quarter, is now playing as a center to defend and protect rebounds, while Fisher comes up to add a shooting spot.

"Zen Master" Jackson knows that O'Neal is heavy, and he will be more efficient in the second half of the rest after resting slowly, and the Lakers can also disrupt the opponent's defense by changing the pace of the offense. They played like that every game in the playoffs, and they started trying it out in the regular season.

Jackson was relatively conservative and didn't let George play in the No. 4 position, which was faster. He also didn't use Ryan Bowen, White Bowen is suitable for defensive shooting big men, and the 76ers don't have this kind of forward to let him play to his strengths.

After the start of the game, the 76ers were still slowly grinding the position, but the Lakers became a fast play whirlwind, as long as the opponent did not score, grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a quick counterattack.

As soon as the Lakers guard runs, the 76ers' interior line will not be able to defend and settle down, and the backcourt is prone to a 3v3 situation.

Guo Xu advanced quickly, and Mutombo didn't return to the penalty area many times, and the ball was already shot. Bryant began to exert his power, scoring consecutive singles for Raja Bale, and the gap in this position was too big.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe Bryant lost to the Suns in the playoffs twice in 2006 and 2007, but his statistics were beautiful every time, and his shooting percentage was higher than that of the regular season. It wasn't hard for Bryant to pick up Bale, even though Bale was named to the All-Defensive Team in 2007.

The most famous story of the two is that the embarrassed and angry Bale used a "throat lock skill" on Kobe Bryant in the playoffs, and he failed to evade the referee and cameraman, nor did he blame Gusu Murong Fu, and was banned for one game.

The current Bell is a rookie who entered the NBA without a draft and only played 5 games in the regular season, a marginal man who is two years older than Kobe, and is appreciated by Brown for his good defensive attitude. He is easy to do in positional battles, with teammates in the defensive system to help defend, and when counterattacking, he single-handedly defends Kobe Bryant to deliver food.

Kobe Bryant has an obvious advantage, Guo Xu reduced his shots to assist, and the cooperation is very tacit.

Four minutes later, Larry Brown made a mistake in the adjustment and replaced Teylon, who was on the back of two fouls, with Matt Geiger.

Geiger, who is 213cm tall, averaged 13.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in his peak season, and became a recognized macho man in the league because he broke O'Neal's thumb. It's a pity that that was before, and now Geiger has been fattened because of two injuries, weighing 120 kilograms, and the speed is very slow, and the iron-blooded defense has long ceased to exist.

Geiger has only played 35 games in the regular season due to injury this season, and his offensive and defensive statistics have dropped significantly, so how can such a person who can only play center play with Mutombo?

Larry Brown doesn't believe in young people, so he wants to play the twin towers. It is estimated that let him coach the Chinese national team, and he also dares to let Yao Ming and Battle play the twin towers together.

Guo Xu relied on the ball to cover the run, received the ball, and shot 2 of 3 three-pointers, widening the difference to 30 points.

Brown realized that this would not work, and replaced Geiger and replaced Jumaine in the No. 4 position, and it was too late.
