Chapter 490 [Guo Xu's trash talk ability is seriously underestimated]
When he arrived in Minneapolis, Guo Xu practiced shooting again the next morning, and he felt good.
After eating at noon, he checked the news on the Internet with his laptop at the hotel, and found that some Timberwolves fans began to discuss the next opponent, and believed that whether the Pistons or the Pacers entered the finals, the Timberwolves must win.
Kobe, Jordan, Pippen, Pat Riley and a group of other people were interviewed and all expressed optimism about the Timberwolves advancing to the Finals.
There are so many people who are optimistic about the timberwolves, Guo Xu feels that he has won today, in his previous life, this was a group of poisonous milk, and whoever dies of their milk is also a symbol of metaphysics.
When the players came out that night, Guo Xu received crazy boos from the fans, and some people seemed to rush down the stands to fight him to the death. He knows why, Timberwolves fans all hope that Garnett can win the MVP, and this year is the best opportunity but loses to him, and he is unwilling.
TNT broadcast the game live, and Barkley sprayed D'Antoni before the game, saying that the Suns coach was a bit of a waste.
Barkley's peak is in the Suns, he has a certain relationship with the team, he wants the Suns to win the championship, and now he is very unhappy to be down 0-2.
"The only tactic that D'Antoni knows is to run and bomb, and once he settles in the battle, he doesn't know how to play, and it is entirely up to Jason Guo's personal ability to lead the team. In the game, D'Antoni made some low-level mistakes, and went on the court to let Kukoc, who didn't play much in the playoffs, come out in the final moments to shoot a killer shot, and if he had been better on the court, the score would have been at least 1-1. ”
Kenny Smith laughed: "So this year Jason was unanimously voted MVP, and D'Antoni didn't win the best coach award, and a lot of people can see his shortcomings. Hey? Today the Suns changed their starting lineup. ”
Suns five: Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, Marion, Stoudamire, Nene
Timberwolves five: Cassel, Sprewell, Trenton Hassel, Garnett, Ervin Johnson.
This is actually the strongest lineup of the Suns, and the first two games of Bell's main defense against the convulsions of Sprewell did not do well, and Marion's main defense against the Timberwolves' blue-collar swingman Hassel is a waste.
Before the referee came to prepare for the jump ball, Garnett said beside Guo Xu: "Are you ready to be swept away?" Shorty? ”
"Do you want to play with Peele? A soft egg without a single vote. Guo Xu replied with a smile.
Garnett didn't expect Guo Xu to fight back, and he was stunned to come so quickly.
Garnett thought that Guo Xu would not talk trash and wanted to stimulate him before the game to make him psychologically collapse, and after the Timberwolves eliminated the Suns, he could also deliberately disclose this matter on the Internet, which would become a classic in NBA history.
As a result, Guo Xu was not affected at all, and his words back were even more exciting, which made Garnett a little angry.
"Your girlfriend tastes like a dow." Garnett said again.
Guo Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, because similar words were very famous in his previous life, and Garnett also said it to "melon" Carmelo Anthony.
As a result, Anthony was enraged, and after the game, he rushed into the Green Army locker room to kill Garnett, and after being stopped by the staff, Anthony, who refused to give up, blocked the Celtics bus and tried to beat Garnett. Garnett, who was called "very bloody" by fans, did not dare to show up, and finally Anthony gradually calmed down under the persuasion of security personnel and Knicks head coach, and Garnett publicly apologized afterwards to end this grievance.
Guo Xu smiled: "Save it, who can look down on you as a husky king except your mother?" The three-headed monster lineup, I think I'll have to let you tear it down next year. ”
"......" Garnett took a deep breath and said nothing. If he continues to talk about it, he suspects that he will lose control of his emotions, and Guo Xu's trash talk ability is seriously underestimated.
The two of them spoke in a loud voice, and everyone else heard it, and the Suns players, who were still a little nervous, were demoralized. Guo Xu is nearly two heads shorter than Garnett, but he looks at the other party spewing trash talk as easily as chatting about home.
The Timberwolves players felt that the boss was a little cowardly, and after taking the initiative to provoke, they didn't say that the other party was over? It's okay for you to threaten and stare at you twice.
However, that's the end of it, Garnett's character is a lifelong tough guy who is fearless and doesn't do anything.
Nene and Garnett jumped to win, Guo Xu gave the ball to Joe Johnson and ran to the bottom right corner.
Joe Johnson organized in the middle, Guo Xu slipped to the bottom line on the right side and ran to the bottom corner on the left, Xiao Si blocked Cassel, Garnett changed defense, Guo Xu then ran to the line, and Nene made a second block, helping him run to 70 degrees and received a pass from Joe Johnson.
Garnett caught up, Guo Xu shook the ball in the middle and broke through, but he couldn't get rid of it, but there was a pass to the basket.
After Garnett was led to the periphery by Guo Xu, Johnson followed the Nene to the outside, and there was a dislocation of Xiao Si Dan Kassell on the inside, how could he let go of this kind of opportunity, and turned around with a one-handed violent dunk. 2 to 0.
Even if he has unlimited right to shoot, Guo Xu will still pass on this misplaced opportunity. In practice, he talked to his teammates about the style of play and predicted what might happen, and once Garnett was away from the basket and Olawokandi was not up, the box was empty.
The Timberwolves attacked, Guo Xu put Kassel two steps away, and chased the defense from the inside after encountering the block, and did not form a dislocation.
After playing two games, he is more and more familiar with the number of Kassels, and it doesn't mean much to defend closely, he is the kind of person who likes to attack with his back and his back to the frame. Guo Xu's direct defense breakthrough is mainly to interfere with the shot, even if he can't prevent it, at least it can reduce physical exertion on the defensive end.
At the beginning, Cassel still ran first, organized the attack according to the coach's arrangement, and passed to the "madman", who singled out Marion's pull-up jumper to hit the iron under the interference, and Xiao Si grabbed the rebound.
"Madman" is used to playing Bell and always has a way to shoot or break through, which is related to his usual training. Timberwolves' blue-collar swingman Hassell is a defender with a similar style to Bell. Now that Marion has changed the main defense, there are not many close-ups, but it is easier to block or interfere with shooting by relying on physical fitness, and the "madman" can't maintain the offensive rhythm of the first two games.
In the Sun positional battle, Guo Xu passed to Joe Johnson to organize and continued to play without the ball. He first drew Garnett to switch defenses and run outside the three-point line under the cover of Smalls, and then made a big circle along the left side.
As soon as Garnett followed, Joe Johnson hoisted the ball directly to Xiao Si in the middle, who forced both hands to dunk violently, and Cassel did not dare to foul, for fear that the opponent would play 2+1. Xiao Si's explosiveness is too strong, and ordinary fouls can't be pulled at all. 4 to 0.
The Timberwolves attacked, his teammates passed the ball to Garnett, he broke through the frame and failed to pass Nene who was as fast as himself, leaned on the ball twice with his back, squeezed Nene, shook his shoulders and turned around and made a jumper that missed under interference, and Marion grabbed the rebound.
Guo Xu received the ball and slowed down the rhythm and landed in the position, and the Sun also began to ensure the success rate of the attack, the opponent has at least 3 or 4 people who can ensure the speed of returning to the defense, and it is difficult to create easy scoring opportunities by playing more and less, and the shooting rate of the first two fast attacks is not high.
Positional battle Guo Xu had a way to make the Timberwolves uncomfortable, he started to run again, this time Garnett defended the bottom corner and left it alone, let Cassel chase the defense, and Nene made a second block.
The veteran Johnson changed Guo Xu a step slowly, Guo Xu received the ball at 70 degrees on the left side and threw it into the net hollow. 7 to 0.
Sanders has a bad premonition, and the Suns have taken advantage of the weakness of the Timberwolves, that is, the center position is not strong enough, and Garnett can't take care of the outside line.
