Chapter 347 [Winning Battles Requires Surprise Soldiers, Tough Battles Rely on Heads-Up]

The reuse of rookie Haslem was the result of a meeting and discussion with the coaching staff, Guo Xu was also involved in the meeting as the core, and D'Antoni has a very good relationship with him, and likes to ask for his opinion before making a decision.

At the beginning, Haslem was asked by Guo Xu to play in the preseason, and everyone knows this. In the team, the two of them have a lot of friendship, and when they go out to play, they are like Guo Xu's bodyguards. It is precisely because of his relationship with the boss that he can jump from a marginal substitute who averages 6 minutes per game to a starter.

Haslem's performance today surprised everyone and became the Suns' leading wonder. The Mavericks coaching staff thought he was a weakness and arranged for Nowitzki to play alone with the ball, resulting in 0-of-3 shooting in the opening game.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Haslem could reduce Nowitzki's shooting percentage with a single defense, especially in the two finals in 2006 and 2011, and his performance was exceptional. When a big man plays with the ball on his back, he has a habit of lowering his center of gravity, using his feet and strength to make it difficult for his opponent to move, and waiting for an opportunity to pull the ball. After the opponent turns, he bounces well, and he can also interfere with the shot very well when he jumps.

His single defense style is very similar to Draymond Green of the future Warriors, and he is about the same size, but he has not yet practiced to help defense; On the offensive end, his performance is not as comprehensive as Green's, his response ability is poor, his dribbling skills are rough, and his scoring mainly relies on catching and shooting.

He and Nowitzki have played 12 finals, both 4-2, winning a championship each. Nowitzki played a total of 42 minutes in the two finals, scoring 24.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks, shooting 40.4% from the field, 30.2% from three-point range, 93.1% from the free throw line, and averaging 7.8 free throws per game.

It is not difficult to see from the data that Nowitzki is not good at scoring in the single-handedly Haslem sports game, although there is a factor of being assisted, but the efficiency is much lower than in the regular season. In the regular season, Nowitzki shot 46% from the field, largely due to Haslem's repeated injuries after 2012 and a serious decline in form.

Before practicing the "Golden Rooster Independence" trick, Nowitzki was afraid that this kind of mobile, powerful, and more than two-meter-tall striker would be difficult to get rid of if he was entangled, so he could only shoot under the interference of people.

His weakness was still evident until 2007, when he won the regular season MVP, and the Mavericks were tragically "blacked eight" by the Warriors in the playoffs. Nowitzki was unsightly defended by Stephen Jackson, scoring a measly 8 points on 2-of-13 shooting in Game 6.

At the end of the timeout, Nelson Sr. replaced Nahura and brought on Van Exel, forming a two-guard line on the outside.

As soon as I saw the lineup, I was happy: "At first, I thought that the old Nelson had changed his personality and wanted to strengthen his defense, but he only played for a few minutes, and he couldn't stand it." ”

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "You still have to fight to attack, the Mavericks will not fight if they strengthen their defense, and Nahura will not defend after he plays." But with such a change, Joe Johnson's physical advantage is too obvious. ”

Zhang said: "It's not surprising that Nelson Sr. dared to use two guards on the court against the Lakers. ”

As soon as the two guards came on, the Mavericks' offense immediately opened, Nash passed the ball to the running Van Exel, who took the ball and shook off Joe Johnson with his speed, and made a pull-up jump shot in the middle. 11 to 4.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed the ball to Joe Johnson, Van Exel's close, and Guo Xu changed the guard when he switched to the swingman.

Joe Johnson took the three-point line and turned around for a jumper from the right corner, and he easily dodged the block, but the ball deflected off the basket.

Second-year Joe Johnson is just "embarrassed", and he is not worthy of the title of "singles Joe", and his singles efficiency fluctuates and is very unstable.

Nowitzki grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed, and Nash split the ball to Van Exel, who held the ball and singled it out, quickly changed direction and beat Joe Johnson for a layup. 11 to 6.

This is the wonder man of the Mavericks, and it is difficult for opponents to defend when playing as a shooting guard. Like a lot of people say that Iverson is a shooting guard, but which team would dare to send a point guard to defend Iverson?

Van Exel is 185cm tall and weighs 80kg, and can shoot and break through, while Joe Johnson has average speed and is too difficult to defend. And the Suns mix defense, the opponent goes to his side, and he can't ignore it.

This is what Nelson Sr. is best at, regardless of whether the lineup is reasonable or not, it depends on how to break through the opponent's defense, if the defensive hole is played by someone, then the player will find his own way.

Joe Johnson has a high ball quotient and immediately made adjustments, Guo Xu attracted the defense and passed to Marion, who dropped the ball to Joe Johnson who asked for the ball in the low post.

Joe Johnson, like Kobe, will play low back, and the Mavericks used joint defense against the Lakers, but now they are man-marked, and there are holes on the defensive end.

Van Exel, of course, couldn't bear the 201CM tall, 107kg, muscular Joe Johnson, and made the opponent turn into the penalty area after two resistances. Lafrenz stepped back to help the defense, Joe Johnson passed the ball to the middle, and Jr. cut to the basket and hit a layup. 13 to 6.

Guo Xu does not brush data in the playoffs, and sometimes stands outside the three-point line after a simple pass to attract the defense and exercise the ability of his teammates. Joe Johnson's singles are misplaced opportunities, and not passing to him is not trusting his teammates.

In the last round of the series, George and Fox often had the opportunity to misplace against Van Exel, but Kobe Bryant chose to hold the ball and compete with Finley and Ragabel, and rarely passed to his teammates in singles, if he was a little smarter, it would be the Suns VS Lakers now.

Guo Xu will not make the same mistake, if his teammates open it, he will encounter fewer bags, and the Suns want to have the last laugh in this year's playoffs, and they need more blossoming offense.

The Mavericks attacked, Guo Xu switched places with Joe Johnson on the court, asked him to defend the middle area, and set his sights on Van Exel.

Nash immediately changed his style of play, played pick-and-rolls with Nowitzki, and broke through to Haslem, who also had excellent pick-and-roll defense, and became more mobile after losing weight to 110 kilograms. Nash passes the ball down the middle, and Joe Johnson switches to Nowitzki.

The Sun considered a way to deal with the Mavericks' double guards before the game, three players with a height of about two meters and fast acceleration Xiao Si encountered a block and changed the defense at any time, Guo Xu went to the main defense of the "madman", and the opponent could be thrown in and recognized, not included.

This was Guo Xu's defensive strategy for the Suns in the 2005-2006 season in his previous life, and he unfortunately lost to the Mavericks in the West Finals. That time Smalls didn't play, Kurt Thomas was also injured in the playoffs, and the Suns roster was seriously out of order. They relied on the swing man to reach the Western Conference finals, and also won two games against the Mavericks.

Guo Xu's idea was adopted by the coaching staff, and although the players are young, the Suns lineup is definitely not inferior to 2006.

Nowitzki didn't turn around and passed the ball again, and after 24 seconds, Nash singled out Haslem on the right baseline and made a stop-and-go jump shot. 13 to 8.

Although they lost points, the Suns players defended well, and there were no obvious holes on the court.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu played a code to let Xiao Si go to the side to give Joe Johnson no ball cover, and he singled out Nash in the middle.

He dribbled the ball to the left side and entered the three-point line, and after being followed, he held the ball with his left hand and leaned against Nash, shook his left shoulder to the middle, and at the same time gently slapped the basketball with his right hand to his left hand, making a feint to turn to the middle. Nash's center of gravity shifted slightly, and he quickly turned to the right with the ball in his left hand and made a successful pass.

Guo Xu made a 45-degree pull-up jump shot and scored a cricket goal, 15-8, his 7th personal point.

Guo Xu is the Suns' big killer, as long as the Mavericks players are not trapped, his single-handedness against Nash is an opportunity! (https:)
