The editors of Chinese sports magazines often write ridiculous stories about black athletes in the United States, and many people believe it, and Boykins is one of the most outrageous rumors.

IT IS RUMORED ON THE INTERNET THAT BOYKINS, WHO IS 165CM TALL AND WEIGHS 60KG, HAS A MAXIMUM BENCH PRESS OF 330 POUNDS, WHICH IS ONLY 10 POUNDS LOWER THAN THE "CAPTAIN" ELTON BRAND, WHO IS KNOWN FOR HIS STRENGTH AND 120 KG. Later, when Yao Ming gained weight to nearly 150 kilograms, he was able to bench press to this number.

Boykins did it nearly three times less than Yao Ming, he was a waste playing basketball, and he should be a superhero.

In fact, players who are known for their speed can't put too much effort into bench presses, because too much muscle can affect speed, which is the foundation of short point guards in the NBA. And Boykins doesn't have much muscle at all......

Guo Xu hit Boykins on his back, he couldn't bear it at all, no matter how good the upper body strength of the bench press was, his small thin legs couldn't resist anyone. On the contrary, Guo Xu practiced dancing and parkour, and his explosive power was amazing, which was much more effective than practicing his upper limbs. After leaving Polis, he never practiced bench press again.

After Guo Xu made 4 of 4 shots and scored 10 points in a row, Coach Muselman did not call a timeout, but just stood up and shouted to the court: "Change the defense, Bob (Sula) defends Jason Guo." ”

Guo Xu is now very grateful to the opponent's coach, in comparison, who to say that D'Antoni did not arrange the defense well is pure slander. If the Suns had played like this against an opposing star, they would have already started to pack other role players to shoot.

Boykins and Foyer played a block and dismantle, got rid of Guo Xu and misplaced Nene on the top, broke through the layup and missed under the interference, Sura rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, and the second offense was deflected under the interference of Jacobson, and Foyer grabbed the rebound again.

When Nene plays with Kukoc, the biggest weakness is the protection of the rebounding ball.

In Guo Xu's previous life, despite Nenei's super physical fitness, he was never a strong point in grabbing rebounds, interfering with shooting positively, neglecting to protect backcourt rebounds, and averaged 7.8 rebounds per game at his peak. This season, he is averaging 9.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 blocks in 24 minutes per game, two of which are frontcourt rebounds.

Nene's style is suitable for a teammate like Ben Wallace who likes to fight and grab rebounds in the restricted area, Kukoc is obviously not good, and his physical condition is destined to be bad at rebounding.

Seeing that Foyer was ready to be strong, Kukoc was experienced and pulled his opponent down. Foyer, who was terrible at free throws, was in surprisingly good form today, hitting both free throws. 46 to 43.

The sun attacked, Guo Xu saw that it was Sula who was defending himself, passed the ball to the Alstom organization, ran to the bottom corner of the right side and stood on the bottom line to cut the air, and Nene helped him block Sula without the ball.

Guo Xu ran to the bottom left corner to receive a pass from Alston and hit a three-point jumper.

49-43, 25th personal score.

Foyer followed Nene and did not change the defense, Sula's pursuit speed was a tragedy, substitute power forward Gooden followed Kukoc to stand relatively outside, and Guo Xu did not waste his strength to get the opportunity to shoot in the open space.

The Warriors attacked, and Jamison singled Jacobson to turn and step back to make a jumper, 49-45.

Barkley said: "It's a great game, no one can stop anyone, and it's definitely going to be high. ”

Smith laughed: "What I'm most concerned about is how many points Jason can score, what stats he can play, the Warriors don't pack it yet, their coach has a big heart." ”

Guo Xu slipped to the bottom corner of the left side again to catch the ball, turned around and shook the frame, Foyer pounced and reached out to interfere with the shot, Guo Xu changed direction to the right side and passed successfully, and scored on the 45-degree emergency stop jump shot.

51-45, 27th personal score.

Sula actually stopped and stuck with Nene on the inside, trying to grab a rebound in the backcourt. This player cares a lot about stats, and in his previous life he deliberately missed a triple-double, and Ricky Davis had done it before him, and he was wildly criticized.

Musselman finally called a timeout, just over halfway through the second quarter.

Guo Xu scored 15 points in a row after he came on the court, and his shot must be hit. Musselman brought on Murphy and replaced Gooden to add a scoring point. Battier replaced Sula as shooting guard.

Boykins remained on the court, while the Suns replaced Jacobson with Marion, and the outside line remained a two-guard lineman.

Barkley asked curiously: "With this substitution, are the Warriors ready to let Battier defend Jason?" Isn't that just misalignment? ”

Smith shook his head and said, "It looks like a substitution error." ”

Murphy blocked and split to Boykins and scored two points on a mid-range shot. 51 to 47, the difference still can't be opened.

Alston took the ball to the frontcourt, and it was really Battier who defended Guo Xu, he relied on Nene to cover the ball without the ball, and Battier caught up.

Guo Xu held the ball and changed direction to the middle, dribbled the ball to his right hand behind his back, and received the "worship Buddha" feint, attracting Battier to move sideways and then change direction to the left again, completely getting rid of the opponent, and making a quick stop to shoot the ball in one step.

53-47, 29th personal point.

Guo Xu announced the failure of Muselman's defensive adjustment in one round, Battier is 201CM tall and weighs 100 kg, no matter how good he is at defense, he is also misplaced against Guo Xu. And Battier's physical fitness is relatively ordinary, and his defense relies on technology, and it is too much to suffer when he encounters a defender who is unreasonable and relies on speed to break through.

Kobe Bryant's single defense against Guo Xu has to be close, and once Guo Xu has space to make moves, it will be difficult to keep up. Battier was a little slower than the peak Kobe, and at this time he was sighing in his heart, the level of the Warriors coach was too poor.

Boykins played a block and made a mistake when passing the ball to the middle, Guo Xu bypassed the cover from the internal test to chase the defense to follow, and when Boykins passed, Kukoc cut off the basketball and passed to Marion who was about to go.

Marion attracted Jamison's defensive pass to Guo Xu, who and Boykins ran a step faster in the game, catching the ball and making a layup without any interference.

55-45, 31st personal point.

The Suns home fans gave a standing ovation, and there was a wave of people on the sidelines, and Guo Xu completely dominated the court in the second quarter.

Guo Xu scored 19 points in a row and didn't encounter a single bag, and the Warriors' defense was so loose that he felt incredible. In order for a player to score highly, in addition to his personal condition, the opposing coach's poor defense and the opponent's poor defense are also key factors.

Some super scorers can't defend alone, otherwise they will pay a heavy price. In Guo Xu's previous life, Battier was a recognized defensive expert, but he defended Kobe Bryant alone, and it was normal for the opponent to score 40 or 50 points in a game. Because the star has reached a certain level of skill, one-on-one can't stop him from shooting, he can only interfere, and in case of a hot hand, he can shoot a dead person.

Battier defended three more rounds, Guo Xu scored a goal and an assist, and he relied on his teammates to help defend before forcing Guo Xu to play an iron.

After the Suns replaced Joe Johnson, Musselman was replaced by Arenas, and Boikins could no longer be played, and Joe Johnson singled out Boikins to play.

Arenas, who rested for a while, did well on the offensive end, but the pick-and-roll was still uncomfortable, and he had all the common problems of heavy guards, and he was not fast enough to chase and defend.

Guo Xu no matter whether he has the ball or not, there is always a way to play, positional battles and quick counterattacks make Warriors players feel uncomfortable, and he can't prevent it if he chooses to wrap up, he will pass the ball to teammates in good positions.

At halftime, the Suns led by 11 points at 71-60, a modest margin of points.

Guo Xu scored 25 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and 37 points and 8 assists in the half, and it was not difficult to get 40+10.
