Chapter 223 [Half-time Might, the Worst Uncle]
Iverson saw that Guo Xu blocked his way after falling to the ground, and immediately had a thought.
If I looked at him condescendingly and straddled his legs, would I give him a dismount and look like a hero? No, it's more like a monarch killer, proudly returning to his own territory.
As a result, as soon as Iverson lifted one leg, he saw Guo Xu's back on the ground exert force, and he stood up with both hands on the ground with a beautiful backhand flip, and his right foot almost kicked on Iverson's face, which startled him.
It's so dangerous, but fortunately it's a little slower. Iverson thought to himself.
Guo Xu also shouted "so dangerous" in his heart, and almost staged the most classic story of "Lu Yuanwai", but fortunately he reacted quickly.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu first passed the ball to Kobe Bryant in the middle, stood 50 degrees on the right side, and suddenly cut inside, and O'Neal took a step outside the corner to block Iverson. Guo Xu got rid of the catch and relied on his speed to pass Mutombo, and scored a basket on the right side. 2 to 2.
With the exception of lighter, super-athletic power forwards like Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace, big men are generally afraid of guards cutting into the air because they turn too slowly and must have a good sense of distance to keep up with the speed of defenders.
Mutombo is 218CM tall, straight-line acceleration is OK, and the traversal speed after weight loss is also alive, once the guard gets rid of the turn and chases, it will definitely not be able to catch up.
Guo Xu has read Aimi's evaluation on the Internet, but he will still find a block to pursue a simple goal, because it would be too stupid not to do so, and he would not be able to pass the level in his heart.
Let the people who hate him on the Internet say it casually, even if he singles out Iverson, the people who hate him can also say: "If you have the ability, you can force the shot against the bag, what kind of ability is the heads-up?" ”
The 76ers attacked, Iverson and Mutombo played blocking and dismantling, O'Neal changed the defense and Guo Xu was sandwiched, Mutombo was empty, Grant also shrunk the defense, and formed an encirclement in front of the free throw line.
Iverson split the ball, Teylon gave McGee an off-ball screen to block Fisher, and McGee caught the ball and hit it. 2 to 4.
The Lakers attacked, the routine just now was played again, Guo Xu relied on the cover to get rid of Iverson to receive the ball, and when the horns were about to meet Mutombo, he made a big stride and turned, passed and entered the basket, and scored with a left-handed pick-up. 4 to 4.
Zhang Li shouted: "Beautiful, Guo Xu broke through Mutombo twice in the opening game, he still dares to play in the face of the best defensive player, and he is not stage frightened at all." ”
Xu Jicheng said: "The boos of the Philadelphia fans are useless, he really has a big heart, born for the big scene." ”
The 76ers, who were buoyed at home, also did well, with Jeumaine Jones getting away from Bryant by covering an off-ball run and hitting a three-point shot from McGee's pass in the bottom corner. He's finally working a little, even if the way he scores goals is the three-point approach that the coach doesn't like. 4 to 7.
Kobe Bryant was very unhappy to see the rookie shooting, received a pass from Guo Xu on the right side, and returned one after pulling out three points after facing Zhu Meiyin. 7 to 7, Guo Xu had an assist.
Iverson attacked, singled out Guo Xu's crotch dribble and changed to a stop-and-go jump shot, dodged the block and hit the iron, and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal.
Iverson always has a way to create a mobile opportunity, even if Guo Xu can keep up with his speed, he can only interfere as much as possible, it is difficult to block, if he shoots on time, it is really amazing.
It's a pity that his shooting has not been stable, and often when he plays with the guard in the opposite position, he feels that he can't prevent it, and even wants to die by him.
The two sides went back and forth, and Iverson also worked very hard to defend Guo Xu, not allowing him to easily get a chance to shoot, Guo Xu threw a three-point shot. He doesn't have to shoot, after receiving the ball, he splits the ball, assists Kobe Bryant and O'Neal to score, and unconsciously it is three assists.
At 5:56, Iverson hit a mid-range shot to make it 14-15, and the 76ers were attacking well today, leading by one point at the halfway point.
Guo Xu began to exert his power, he took the ball to the front court to look at Kobe, did not pass the ball and run to find an opportunity as usual, and suddenly retreated three points in the face of Iverson, and hit it under interference. 17 to 15.
The 76ers passed several positional battles, McGee singled out Fisher and missed, O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed to launch a fast attack, Kobe Bryant held the ball and attacked, but was interfered with by Zhu Meiyin, and Grant grabbed the rebound in the front court and passed it to Guo Xu on the periphery.
Guo Xu raised the ball with both hands at 50 degrees on the right side and shook Iverson up, and then he stepped back to his favorite 70-degree jumper and went into the net hollow. 20-15, 10th personal score.
Next, Guo Xu kept running, consuming Iverson's physical strength, and Iverson followed him and passed to O'Neal and Kobe, and when he had the next opportunity, he played with ease.
A minute and a half when Guo Xu got another good chance to score, Iverson broke through the penalty area, flew to the basket under the interference of the big man and missed, O'Neal grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack, Koebi scored, Guo Xu sprinted straight to get rid of Mutombo, and scored a single-handed fast-break two-handed basketball score, scoring his 12th personal point.
In the first quarter of the Lakers' last attack, Guo Xu single-handedly calculated the time, changed direction and stopped without immediately shooting, shook Iverson up and jumped forward to make a foul, and pushed the ball to the basket with one hand. He was in too good shape, the ball was shot very positively, and the referee blew the whistle 2+1.
This kind of obvious dangling foul, whether it is the star whistle or the home whistle, the referee cannot turn a blind eye.
Guo Xujia hit a free throw and scored 15 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists in a single quarter, beating Iverson who had 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. The Lakers led 33-25.
In the second quarter, Guo Xu and O'Neal went to rest, and the "Zen Master" asked Kobe Bryant and Fisher to partner on the outside, which was done to maximize the attack power of the two outside players.
However, Kobe Bryant and Fisher didn't feel very good, and the 76ers took the opportunity to overtake by 1 point, and the Philadelphia fans were very happy, and the home atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
Falling behind 0-2, the 76ers will not surrender, it is their spirit not to abandon and not to give up, they want to assault the enemy's line like soldiers.
In less than 5 minutes, Jackson replaced O'Neill and Guo Xu, and immediately stabilized the situation.
Guo Xu and O'Neal played blocking and dismantling, focusing on misplaced breakthroughs, supplemented by outside shots, and soon played a wave of 15-4, widening the difference to 10 points.
Guo Xu shot 3 of 4 in the second quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointers, scored 7 points and 2 assists, and 22 points and 5 assists in the half, and the statistics were the same as when he played the whole game. O'Neal has 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and his auxiliary statistics are not bad, with 12 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and it seems that he wants to get a triple-double.
The Lakers lead 65-55. At halftime, many experts predicted that the 76ers might not be able to withstand it in the second half, and Mutombo was not good at blocking and dismantling, and he was short of physical strength.
It's no wonder that Mutombo has the strength to play 42 minutes per game in the playoffs and hit two tie-breaks in the East, his 21st playoff game. He won the defense of O'Neal, encountered a pick-and-roll defensive guard, and scored on the offensive end to shoulder Iverson's offensive pressure, and the team had the heaviest task.
Other teams are mainly training newcomers, and the 76ers are training veterans, and Larry Brown wants to rejuvenate the veterans.
76 people are so different, it is too difficult for an uncle to use as a savior and an iron man. The worst thing is that Uncle Mu is not the core yet, and the evaluation obtained by breaking his leg may also be the hind leg of dragging the single core......
