Chapter 385 [Fans with OCD can sleep well]
Marion and Stoudamire, who had a break in the second quarter, came up to bring the bench, and the other three were Blake, Kirisek, and Haslem.
The Cavaliers five are Bremmer, Kapono, Jacobson, Gerani McCoy, and Jack Voscool.
In 5 minutes, the two sides played wildly, and the score was 6-6, both of which were like two teams in the previous quarter.
Without Guo Xu, the Suns' counterattack did not play well, and the running bombardment turned into a wave throw, although it was the same who had the opportunity to throw, but Marion, Kirisek, and Haslem were not in the state.
On the Cavaliers' side, Suns veteran Jacobson was desperate to prove himself, but it backfired, shooting 0-of-3.
Center Voscool also spent a year with the Suns, finishing as the fourth rookie in the second round in 2000 before being poached by the Cavaliers when his contract expired in 2002. He had a good performance, scoring four points and assisting on a shot by Capono.
The starters of both sides came back one after another, and Guo Xu led the team to play a wave of 13 to 2, which quickly widened the difference to 22 points.
Cavaliers coach Silas was forced to ask for a timeout, but after adjustment, he still couldn't prevent it, and Boozer and "Big Z" were too easy to be broken through by the guards.
At halftime, the Suns led 67-46.
The Cavaliers' offense went wrong, and Davis played seven minutes, scoring a point on 0-of-4 shooting, and all the stats were zero. "Big Z" made 1 of 4 shots and got 2 points and 1 rebound. Only James performed better, shooting all 2 of 2, 3 of 4 free throws, and getting 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Guo Xu focused on breakthroughs in both positional battles and counterattacks, shooting 4 of 5, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 11 points and 3 assists, and cutting a big double-double of 33 points and 10 assists in the half.
Silas is very helpless about this, the "big Z" defense penalty area is excellent, but the Suns big man does not attack the penalty area, and pulls out to cover again and again to help Guo Xu create misalignment opportunities, he can't break through and can pass to the side to rely on teammates who run without the ball to catch the ball and shoot directly, or organize it again.
Joe Johnson is like a fish in water in the Suns system today, and even if he doesn't have a direct shot against a big man, he can still break through with the ball, and he can also attract the big man to find a gap to his inside teammates after switching defenses. This is something that Bell and Kirisek can't do, they can only catch the ball and shoot.
If Joe Johnson has been playing off the bench this season, he will definitely have the ability to compete for the best sixth man, and Guo Xu is also very comfortable.
Guo Xu feels that the two of them are like the combination of Curry and Durant in the previous life, they can shoot three-pointers, attack with the ball, and attract defensive balls to teammates, of course, Joe Johnson is a weakened version, and his personal ability cannot be compared with Durant.
Bell is desperate on the defensive end, and his catch-and-shoot can ensure a three-point shooting rate, but he has fewer shots, which can be regarded as a weakened version of Klay Thompson. The Suns' interior roster depth is much stronger than that champion Warriors, which makes it easier for Guo to deliver assists.
The Suns scored a total of 27 points in the quarter, and almost all of the points were scored in the last seven minutes.
In the second half, D'Antoni abandoned the sleepwalking Haslem and sent Nene and Junior Twin Towers on the inside, Marion small forward, and Joe Johnson as a scoring guard.
CAVALIERS COACH SILAS MADE A SERIOUS MISTAKE BY ALLOWING KEVIN OLLIE, A 193CM TALL AND 90-KILOGRAM TWO-WAY GUARD, TO PLAY SEVEN MINUTES AND PLAY AGAINST GUO XU, MAKING HIM EXPLODE AGAIN DURING THIS TIME.
Kevin Ollie is one of the most famous vagabonds in the NBA, who entered the NBA without a draft in 1997 and has played for 10 teams so far.
The only time he wasn't traded mid-season was in the 1999-00 season with the 76ers, and it wasn't a full season, but he was reimbursed after only 40 games, resulting in the 76ers failing to trade the sick number in the mid-term and waiting until the following year to send him to the Nets.
Ollie has been an average screw-type player all his life, with no physical qualities other than strength, and is an excellent defender of the ball, and a player who has been solid on the ball and has few mistakes. In his previous life, he relied on defense, played 13 seasons in the NBA with no long-range shooting at all and lack of offensive means.
However, Ollie was soon blown up, Guo Xu changed to play without the ball, and let Joe Johnson be in charge of the organization, relying on the cover of two big men to constantly intersperse running, catching and shooting. Heavy defender Ollie is not fast and is weak off the ball.
Joe Johnson's task is very simple, just use his strong body to protect the basketball and pass it to Guo Xu, regardless of other teammates.
The big man was slow to change the defense, Guo Xu received the ball and shot, Guo Xu held the ball and broke through in the dislocation of the change position, Ollie or the wing player came up to wrap the clip, and Guo Xu took the opportunity to distribute the ball to his teammates.
When Silas determined that "Big Z" and Boozer would be unable to prevent Guo Xu when they played together, the difference widened to 35 points.
AT PRESENT, THE CAVALIERS DO NOT HAVE AN INTERIOR LINE THAT IS GOOD AT BLOCKING AND PICK-AND-ROLL TO REPLACE, AND VOSCUL IS A WHITE CENTER WHO IS 211CM TALL AND WEIGHS 113 KILOGRAMS, AND HIS ATHLETICISM IS ALSO POOR.
If Darius is allowed to play the No. 4 position, the speed is fast enough, and the frame protection will be worse, and he is just fast, easy to be shaken and passed by the defender. Talented, high-quality, inconsistent shooting, and inactive defense, these high school players are prone to make mistakes, and Darius is not left behind.
The Cavaliers don't have a playoff roster that wants to make the playoffs, and if they don't make a trade in the middle of the game, they may have to be at the bottom of the league.
The Cavaliers manager has made up his mind to send Ricky Davis away, leaving him for the time being to brush up on the stats and increase the value of the trade. This person is too poisonous, he throws a lot of money when attacking, he doesn't have to worry about defense, and he puts his energy on the offensive end.
As long as Guo Xu walks on Davis's side, he will not be flanked to assist in the defense, and he can shoot directly or calmly single the big man. He focused on individual scoring in this quarter, scoring 25 points and 2 assists, playing only 31 minutes in total, scoring 58 points, 2 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, and shooting 11 of 16 three-pointers.
The Suns led by 32 points 102-70, the game went into garbage time, and the Cavaliers' attack was not strong, even if the Suns didn't score a single point in the next game, they might not be able to reverse the win.
"Jason is just one short of the league's record of 12 three-pointers in a single game that he and Kobe Bryant hold, and if he continues to play in the final quarter, I think he can definitely set a new record," Barkley said. ”
Smith said: "It's a pity that he shouldn't be on the line, the team is too far ahead. ”
Barkley laughed: "The cameraman gave James a close-up with a confused expression, which is certainly not the result he wanted, and hopefully his mentality will not be affected." ”
Surprisingly, Guo Xu appeared again at the end of the festival. He only played two rounds, forcing a breakthrough on a counterattack that caused Bremer to foul, and he was substituted after hitting both free throws to make up a round 60 points.
When Guo Xu got off the field, he received warm applause from the fans, waved to the fans, and high-fived his teammates one by one to celebrate.
Zhang Li said with a smile: "He thinks that the data is not perfect enough, and he came up and brushed a 60+10, fans with obsessive-compulsive disorder can sleep well tonight, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to miss two points." ”
Xu Jicheng said: "Guo Xu shot 70% from the field today, 68.8% from three-point range, and hit all free throws. ”
Zhang Li said with a smile: "He only played for 32 minutes, and his efficiency can be recorded in history." He has the ability to cut 40+20 and today is another way to play. I don't know when he will be able to play a game where he will be score-oriented and don't pass the ball, then his single-game score will definitely be ridiculously high. ”
