The Suns attacked, Guo Xu brought to the front court to give his teammates a code as usual, and then he didn't wait for Stoudamire to cover up, and suddenly held the ball to the left side and quickly changed direction past Hudson.

Hudson observed Xiao Si's running position with his peripheral vision, thinking about how to quickly bypass the chasing defense, his confrontation ability is poor, his speed is average, and it is difficult to catch up with Guo Xu when blocked. As a result, he missed people with a slight lack of concentration.

Kendall Gill made up for the defense, Guo Xu took advantage of the situation to share the ball and gave Kirisek who ran to the bottom left corner. It was a big open space, and Kirisek was good at shooting from the bottom corner when he was in Europe, and he didn't waste a chance and hit a hollow shot.

16 to 7, Guo Xu's fifth assist.

When returning to the defense, Kirisek gave Guo Xu a thumbs up, his English was not good enough, and he did not communicate much with his teammates, but fortunately there were some gestures on the basketball court that were universal, and simple communication could be carried out without speaking.

The Timberwolves attacked, Hudson made a three-point jumper from the outside, Guo Xu didn't jump and stretched out his hand casually, the ball didn't go in, the rebound was grabbed by Xiao Si, and the Suns immediately launched a counterattack.

Guo Xu was a little speechless, it's not that he was lazy, the opponent would definitely be able to shoot goals, Hudson didn't average 15 points per game at his peak in his previous life, and his performance was very unstable.

Joe Johnson changed direction past Trent, was pulled near the halfway line, and the Suns had the ball.

Trent's power doesn't suffer, but Joe Johnson dribbles skillfully and changes direction to break through, and playing Trent is like a misalignment.

He didn't come out of joining the Suns, he was great in the draft. After he was drafted by the Celtics, he surprised his teammates in training for the first time, especially Pierce, who went head-to-head with him, and asked him after the fight: "Do you know how good you are?" ”

Obviously, he didn't know that he didn't shoot much in college, otherwise the stats would have been prettier, and the draft might not have been just 10th.

The Celtics didn't give Joe Johnson much of a chance to perform, and when Green Army manager Chris Wallace traded him to the Suns, Pierce felt very uncomfortable, and he believed that Joe Johnson would have a good future and be no worse than himself in a few years, which was indeed the case.

The throw-in was issued, Guo Xu relied on Xiao Si to cover the ball, turned around and dribbled inside, and gave Marion an almost hand-to-hand pass to the left corner, who received the ball and took three steps past Nestrovic and made a layup.

18 to 7, Guo Xu's sixth assist.

Timberwolves coach Saunders asked for a timeout, the Suns opened with too high a shooting percentage, and the players played how to have it. Before the game, he arranged to defend Guo Xu as the main one, but the opponent did not shoot at all to help his teammates create opportunities.

Xu Jicheng said: "The Timberwolves didn't know enough about the opponent at the beginning, before and after the change of coach, the Suns are two completely different teams, including Guo Xu, it is not surprising that he has a double-double assist in a single quarter." ”

Zhang Li said: "The overall speed of the Suns team is very fast, and Xiao Si is more than 205CM tall, and it is difficult for the opponent to send a high forward, so he can only fight to attack." What about the fight? The sun loves this. ”

After the timeout, the Timberwolves made adjustments, and Joe Smith came on to replace Nesterovic to increase mobility on the court, which was following the rhythm of the Suns.

D'Antoni didn't even use the tactical board, praised the players a few words, and emphasized that the positional battle handed over the ball to Guo Xu to deal with, don't mess around.

The Timberwolves attacked, Garnett received a pass after blocking and dismantling, and finally scored in the face of Guo Xu's shot, 18-9.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed the ball to Marion who was empty, and Trent let go of Joe Johnson and successfully intercepted the passing route, and after the man failed to mark, the Timberwolves changed to a 122 joint defense that shrank near the restricted area.

Trent passes to Garnett, who passes to Hudson, who goes down a fast break to score a layup past Guo Xu. 18 to 11.

The home fans applauded Hudson, feeling that he was exceptional today and dared to challenge for the stars. Hudson was not happy on the field, and the pressure was huge, because Guo Xu asked his teammates to pull away and was ready to directly hold the ball and go head-to-head.

When the opponent uses 122 to defend, Guo Xu is not good at blocking and dismantling to assist his teammates, and Xiao Si is easy to be caught in the middle, and the easiest way to attack at this time is to play a single on the periphery, forcing the opponent to expand the formation or wrap it, and then divide the ball to assist his teammates.

Guo Xu dribbled under the crotch in the middle and turned to the left side, Hudson followed, he brought to the left horn position, leaned on Hudson's right shoulder and shook it to the right, giving people the illusion of breaking through the bottom line, and then turned to the left side and threw a jump shot from a high back.

After the formation was opened, Guo Xu singled and had no one to make up for the defense, and he completely shook off Hudson with his feints and speed, and hit the shot.

20-11, Guo Xu scored the first two points.

This is the technique that Kobe Bryant is good at, Guo Xu rarely uses it because of his short stature, and today he uses it because Hudson is only 185CM, and the bounce and speed are inferior to him a lot, as long as no one assists in defense, it is almost impossible to block.

Zhang Li said: "Beautiful, Guo Xu is also an offensive kaleidoscope, he can do anything, and his shooting is particularly accurate." ”

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "Don't look at him not shooting in the first half, I think if the Timberwolves don't wrap up, he can fight Hudson alone and lead the team in another way." ”

The Timberwolves attacked, Kendall ran and caught the ball and made a throw, Kirisek is a player who is strong on offense and weak on defense, and he is not tight enough without the ball. 20 to 13.

Guo Xu took the ball to the front court, and his teammates couldn't run. Xiao Si was in the low post, and the other three stood on the outside, creating maximum space for Guo Xu to play alone, like the last attack of each quarter.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to his left hand under his crotch, quickly changed direction to the right, Hudson followed a little slower, Guo Xu accelerated with the ball and took another step into the three-point line, attracting Hudson to chase the defense on the side, and the sharp stop at his feet, dribbling the ball to the left hand behind his right hand.

Hudson chased too fast and ran over, forced the brakes and failed to control the center of gravity, and slipped and sat on the ground. Guo Xu was not satisfied with the vacant position, took a step outside and stepped back with his left foot, and shot three points in the middle.

Trent, who was closer, pounced on the block and was a step too slow to block it, and the ball hollowed into the net.

23 to 13, Guo Xu's personal 5th point.

When returning to the defense, Guo Xu made a signature celebratory gesture and raised his arms high.

He didn't have to keep a low profile, and after a few rounds, he found that Hudson's ability to break through the frame was not as good as Alston's, and it was easier to beat him than to train on the team.

Zhang Li sighed: "Guo Xu's speed is really fast, and he hits an outside shot after shaking down the opponent." He doesn't care much on the defensive end, and I think he's underestimating Hudson too much. ”

"If Guo Xu keeps playing like this, I think Harrison may have his ankle dead by the end of the game." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Hudson's mentality was obviously affected, facing Guo Xu had a good chance to shoot, the mid-range shot missed the basket, Joe Smith grabbed the rebound in the front court, and Kendall received the ball from the left baseline and hit a close-range shot. 23 to 15.

Guo Xu continued to play singles with the ball, this time his choice was simpler, dribbling the ball under the crotch to the left hand and stepping back to shoot three points, and the position on the left side of the middle was a little bit to face the person, Hudson jumped a little slower and didn't cover it, the ball shot very positively, and hit another one!

26 to 15, Guo Xu scored his 8th personal point.

On the sidelines, Sanders wanted to call a timeout again, and Hudson couldn't defend it at all, but he was already the best point guard for the Timberwolves.
