On the evening of June 6, the 2001 NBA Finals kicked off.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson is really an alternative coach, he has reached the finals, and he didn't say anything particularly morale-boosting, just "You are all elites, we will definitely win." ”

Guo Xu complained in his heart, what about KFC, the most suitable position for millions of elites, you are too hasty, right?

In fact, Jackson has a way of boosting morale, but he doesn't have to say it. He wore the 2000 Lakers championship ring today, and in this way he told the youngsters, play hard, and you'll have rings soon.

When the players played, Guo Xu became the third from the bottom of the team and received warm applause. When he scored 67+10, all the veterans in the team recognized him as the team's third leader and a very reliable teammate.

Iverson came out, and the Lakers' home fans gave him a round of applause, and everyone felt that this was a respectable opponent.

Today's Staples Center is star-studded, with many singers and movie stars in the front row.

Guo Xu greeted many people after his appearance, in addition to his family and friends, there are also Jack Nicholson, "Britney" Britney, Stallone, Cameron Diaz, etc., all of whom have chatted.

Covering nearly 200 countries and regions around the world, the finals were broadcast live in more than 40 languages, including CCTV5 in China.

Zhang Li said: "Audience friends, the exciting showdown is about to begin, Guo Xu once again against Iverson, I hope they can join forces to dedicate a wonderful game." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "O'Neal and Mutombo's interior star matchup is also a highlight, the two are old rivals, MVP facing the best defensive player, I think Mutombo must have a lot of defensive pressure today, and he struggled to defend O'Neal alone in the star game." ”

This statement is to elevate Mutombo, not to mention the difficulty, he can't prevent it at all.

Mutombo is characterized by his height and long arms, super positioning skills, and excellent ability to interfere with shots, blocks, and rebounds, but no matter how experienced he is defensively, he currently weighs only 111 kilograms, and does not have enough strength to resist O'Neal.

Zhang said: "The 76ers mainly rely on Iverson for offense, and today is also a test for Guo Xu, whose performance on the defensive end can directly determine the outcome of the game. ”

During the warm-up, Guo Xu hit a three-pointer, and he felt good when he practiced shooting in the morning. Shooting has been practiced to this extent, as long as he finds the right rhythm, he will know whether there is one or there as soon as he shoots, and it will become natural for him to get used to it.

After looking for a while, the two starters stood in the middle of the field.

Lakers five: Guo Xu, Kobe, Fox, Grant, O'Neal.

5 76ers: Iverson, McGee, Jumaine Jones, Teyrond Hill, Mutombo.

Snow continued to be in charge of bringing in the substitutes, but he was injured and couldn't play for long.

The commentators of the major radio stations analyzed the lineup, and most of them believed that the 76ers only had an advantage in the point guard position, the two teams at the No. 4 position were half a pound, and the other positions were dominated by the Lakers. The 76ers want to win a championship unless a miracle happens.

O'Neal jumped the ball and the game began.

Kobe Bryant received the ball and dribbled to the frontcourt, Guo Xu first went to the bottom corner of the right side, and then ran to the line at full speed, O'Neal pulled out from the low post to help him block Iverson. This kind of side off-ball cover with the Lakers will play a few times every game, and it has been tried and tested, as long as the opponent is not resolute enough to change the defense inside, Guo Xu will get a chance to shoot.

Can 35-year-old Mutombo get up fast? The answer is yes, light weight is naturally fast, and the first few rounds have been very obvious.

Mutombo's way of maintaining his form is much like that of Duncan in the future, and that is to lose weight. He was around 120kg when he was younger, but now he can't keep up with the pace of the game and is prone to injury. In Guo Xu's previous life, after Yao Ming's injury reimbursement in 2008, the 42-year-old Uncle Mu was still able to play as a starter in the Rockets and helped the team win 22 consecutive victories, he is so good.

But now, Mutombo sees the Lakers playing cover and has a hard time making a choice. What if he changes to Guo Xu and O'Neal in the air? The reason why the Lakers are so powerful in blocking and dismantling is because the 29-year-old O'Neal is also very fast.

O'Neal has had a number of fast-break dunks this season, as well as crossovers with the rim in the rim, and don't believe it, he's that kind of freak.

As soon as Mutombo hesitated, the change of defense was slow, Guo Xu received the ball on the right side at 70 degrees and shot three points, Iverson bypassed the cover and failed to catch up, the ball drew a beautiful arc and hollowed into the net! 3 to 0.

When returning to the defense, Guo Xu, Kobe Bryant, and O'Neal all clapped their hands.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "At the beginning, the 'Kobe Casserole' combination (the name given by Chinese fans) completed a beautiful three-person cooperation, O'Neill came out to cover, Guo Xu ran away, and all teams were not easy to defend." ”

If Fisher is running, most point guards can catch up by bypassing the cover, but it is difficult for Guo Xu to chase when he runs, he not only runs fast, but also shoots fast, and the whole set of actions can be more than a second faster than Fisher, who shoots like an anti-cannon.

Xu Jicheng said: "Let's see if the 76ers can return one, if they can't defend against the Lakers, they must play efficiently on the offensive end." ”

Iverson and other teammates pulled away, and the cross step in the middle changed direction to break through, the first time he changed to the right side Guo Xu to keep up, and the second time the same action was to go to the right side, Guo Xu followed and was close again. Iverson protected the ball with his back, turned his shoulder lightly to the left, and was entangled by Guo Xu again.

Guo Xu's defensive movements are very clean, he doesn't reach out to steal, he just follows closely, and the referee carefully observes with a whistle in his mouth and doesn't blow it.

Iverson forced a turnaround and a step-back jumper, Guo Xu predicted accurately, jumped up to seal his eyes, the ball bounced out of the frame, and Fox grabbed the defensive rebound.

Guo Xu was ecstatic after defending a ball, sure enough, after his movement speed and reaction speed increased, he would not be easily gotten rid of by Iverson, and the guard wanted to break through unless he used a feint to make him shake, and Iverson's tricks were not as good as Kobe.

In the previous life, Tyrone Lue could be blown as Iverson's terminator, many people have defended Iverson in this year's playoffs, Guo Xu's defense in the regular season is not good enough, in addition to his physical fitness is not strong enough, but also because of lack of experience, and now his anti-face frame breakthrough technology has been a miracle!

He is the carp king who turned over, and he turned into a dragon when he encountered a storm!

When he returned to the defense, Iverson set off a storm in his heart, and the master could see the level of the opponent as soon as he matched it.

How is this possible? How did he get so fast? Stimulants, huh?!

Before the start of the finals, Iverson and his teammates watched some of the Lakers' previous game videos, Guo Xu beat all the point guards in the first three rounds, players of similar size to him are not good at preventing him from shooting, and the players taller than him are not as fast as him, and they are easy to be changed by him one-on-one.

After watching the video, Iverson only felt that he could do it, and thought that the strength of these point guards in the West was not strong enough. He is full of confidence, and his impression of Guo Xu is stuck in the game on January 2, when he broke through easily, and Guo Xu's reaction was always half a beat slow.

Today, he clearly felt that Guo Xu's sensitivity was about the same as his own.

Guo Xu slowly controlled the ball to the front court, did not directly single out Iverson, and played a block with Grant in the middle and took the left side.

Iverson chased the defense in place this time, Guo Xu didn't have a chance to shoot, but half a second to pass the ball was enough.

He hit the ground and passed to O'Neal, who was in the low post on the left, and formed a triangle with Grant. Fox and Bryant opened up space on the right side, and the time came to test Mutombo. ()
