After Parker received the ball, he dribbled a step outside the three-point line and was close to Guo Xu, and it was difficult to make moves.

Guo Xu not only did not give Parker an easy shot, but also intended to disrupt his dribbling rhythm, and this pressing defense could cause the ball carrier to make mistakes, so as to play a quick counterattack.

Guo Xu is very focused and energetic today. On the defensive end, he was like a top student who had been pretending to sleep in class all semester, but secretly listening to lectures, and now that it was finally time for the final exam, it was time to show real effort.

When Parker has room to make moves, he occasionally has beautiful breaks, and as soon as he is close, he can only find teammates, and his passing awareness is not excellent, so he gives Butler the nearest place.

Butler hoisted the ball to Bryant in the low post on the right side, and Bell defended it, at which point Parker ran to the bottom corner and the Lakers formed a triangle with three players.

This is a typical tactic for the Lakers, when O'Neal attracted the bag in the low post and split it out for easy shooting opportunities. When encountering the opponent's joint defense, the defender in the bottom corner can also get the opportunity to play the big man in a misplaced position.

O'Neal would have been fatalized if he didn't have a catch, shooting more than 75 percent from the field and 79.2 percent at his peak, while he shot around 40 to 45 percent from close range near the line for many seasons, with a very short range, which made teams look for meat shields or use bags to push him outside the box.

Kobe Bryant obviously does not have O'Neal's dominance in the low post, the opponent can choose to pack or not, and the hard-working "Peter Pan" cannot crush the opponent like the "Big Shark".

Kobe Bryant leaned on Bell twice, shook his right shoulder slightly, turned to the baseline and forced a breakthrough, at this time Valejo blocked the basket, Kobe Bryant not only did not have room to shoot, but even the passing space was not easy to find.

He took the ball and squeezed it into the gap between the two and gave it to Bogut on the left, and Vallejo turned to defend his own man before he could do so. Because Bogut lacked range, he didn't shoot immediately after receiving the ball, took a step forward and threw it from close range, and missed under the interference of Valejo, who was not inferior to his height and weight.

Guo Xu followed Parker on the perimeter, ready to break fast at any time, and he was very relieved about his teammates' defense. Vallejo can withstand Duncan even if he is against him, not to mention the "White Duncan" who has become a parallel import?

Many people from both teams gathered under the basket, Haslem flicked the ball out, and Howard picked up the rebound and immediately passed it to Guo Xu.

2 to 2 in the front court, Guo Xu slowed down one meter outside the three-point line on the right side, held the ball in his right hand, and approached with his left hand. Parker hurried to a halt and took a big step outside, ready to interfere with the shot. He was scared of shooting, this kind of distance Guo Xu's shooting is a conventional weapon, and it will be in every game.

However, this time Guo Xu was a feint to worship the Buddha, his right hand changed direction and passed Parker in the middle, and he made a quick stop just in front of the three-point line and made a jump shot.

This kind of ball is nine times out of ten, and it is hollow into the net. 3 to 0.

The Lakers attacked, and Parker was forced by Guo Xu in the half and passed to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant dribbled and attacked, and Odom played blocking and dismantling in the middle, Haslem changed the defense very quickly, keeping a distance of more than one step to prevent breaking through and interfering with the shot, Kobe dribbled to the right corner, and Bale caught up and released Odom.

Colby scored the ball in the middle, Odom's open jumper deflected wide of the basket and Vallejo grabbed the rebound.

At this point, there is no secret for each team, the two teams played four games in the regular season in the same district, and the Suns scouts have already collected a comprehensive collection of information about the Lakers players, and the strengths and weaknesses of each player can be analyzed with data.

Scouts of NBA teams may not be accurate in the draft, because the NCAA's defensive intensity, skills and tactics cannot be compared with the NBA, and good player statistics may not be able to adapt to the NBA. But when it comes to gathering information on NBA players, scouts are professional.

Now that the Internet is developed, NBA data websites will count players' shooting positions, shooting percentages, shooting hot spots, etc., which saves scouts a lot of work.

Odom's long-range shooting rate this season is only 40 percent, averaging 0.7 of 1.8 shots per game, accounting for 14.7 percent of the shots. Odom took a step closer to the free-throw line and shot 33.8 percent from the field, which is not to be feared.

That's why Odom can't be an All-Star, he's very well-rounded, but he doesn't have a trick, and it would be great if he had the mid-range shooting ability of Bosh and David West.

In the Sun positional battle, Guo Xu played blocking and dismantling with Valejo outside the three-point line in the middle, lowering the center of gravity and changing to holding the ball at full speed to the right weak side.

This move is uncomfortable for all teams, Vallejo lacks range to be empty on the periphery, but Guo Xu will not consider passing to him, Guo Xu will not be able to wrap up before the side is weak, and Parker's pursuit he ignores, because he can't look back when he rushes forward.

Odom was a little slower to change the defense and was forced by Guo Xu with speed, he hit the basket to attract Bogut to make up for the defense and did not pass, hit the board and dodged the block, and the ball fell into the basket. 5 to 0.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant received the ball and decided to play alone, and the coach asked him to attract the bag and divide the ball, but the opponent didn't pack it at all.

Bryant probed to the right, and Bale kept his distance to lower his center of gravity and break through the line, allowing him to shoot away from the basket. Bryant made a jumper from inside the three-point line and missed the interference, and Haslem grabbed the rebound.

The Suns counterattacked, Guo Xu saw that the Lakers players were back in place, waved his teammates away, and singled out Parker.

The Lakers didn't dare to give him a chance to go heads-up, Butler came up to form a bag, Guo Xu dribbled a step to share the ball, and Howard received the ball and hit an easy shot from the left corner. 7 to 0.

The coaching staff wants to help Guo Xu reach an average of 40+ per game, and Howard doesn't have many balls, but his scoring efficiency is very high, and he can compare with the league's top swingmen, and finally average 16.8 points per game and shoot 47.8% from the field.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant singled Bell with the ball, and the low-post step-back jumper on the right side finally opened. 7 to 2.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu attracted the bag outside the three-point line and gave it to Howard, who dribbled on the left side and hit an easy shot. 9 to 2.

Jackson shook his head on the sidelines, Guo Xu singled in the middle, and the strong side players wrapped him, Howard was the second scoring point, and he could shoot the ball in the middle of the shot, attracting big men to make up for the defense and break through. The weak-side player is even worse at wrapping Guo Xu, and it is easy to have a three-point opportunity in the bottom corner.

The Lakers didn't dare to let Guo Xu play alone, he was too good alone, and the shooting rate could be guaranteed in all positions. In the regular season, he was able to attract the bag outside the three-point line, hitting 20+ iron in several games, and his three-point shots accounted for half of the total shots, and the overall shooting rate was still 49.4% in the end.

This is the role of superstars, no player can do Guo Xu's step at present, and Curry's shooting accuracy in the future can be compared with him, and his ability to break through is also inferior.

Kobe's ability to attract bags is much inferior to Guo Xu, and the mid- and long-distance Suns rely on Bell's single defense, and no one assists in defense. Before the game, Jackson's plan to arrange for Kobe Bryant to attract the ball was not well realized.

The triangle offense can help Kobe create heads-up opportunities, but this also falls into the defensive rhythm of the Suns, and the Suns are marking people, the purpose is to let Kobe play alone.

Kobe Bryant chose to break through with the ball again, and was caught under the basket, he didn't find an open spot to Bogut and passed it to Butler, who singled out Howard to force a breakthrough and couldn't, and then divided Odom's organization.

Odom held high and looked for Bryant to run to the left, and Bale followed him.

went around in a circle, it was still singles, the difference was who singled, Kobe Bryant could drop the ball to Bogut on the left, but he didn't do it. Kobe Bryant's most annoying person is Bogut, and the cooperation between the two has no tacit understanding at all.

Running out of 24 seconds, Kobe Bryant hit the iron again in the horn position against Bell's mid-range shot. Vallejo got stuck and Haslem grabbed the rebound......
