Chapter 698 [The person who opens the hang can't prevent it!] 】

After completing this super dunk, Guo Xu didn't make an excited celebration, but just clenched his fists, which seemed to be taken for granted.

The audience thought it was cool and the applause was long.

Popovich called a timeout and called it in time, going from trailing by 19 points to only 3 points, and the Suns' morale was high. And this round the Spurs two big outside frustrations, you have to calm down.

Parker was sluggish on the court, how could he face Guo Xu like this?

This round could well be the turning point that will determine the outcome of the game. Popovich regretted a little, he should have resolutely wrapped up Guo Xu and let others shoot, even if there would be a lot of open spots, even if the role players replaced by the Suns shot well.

Xu Jicheng said: "This ball is very morale-boosting, Parker's mentality will definitely be affected, and being ridden is rarer than a dunk." ”

Zhang Li smiled: "French players seem to be particularly susceptible to shut-offs, and in the 2000 Olympics, Carter leaped over the center of the French team. The meaning of Guo Xu's dunk this time is not the same, Carter was a nobody, Guo Xu jumped over Parker, who is also an All-Star, this time is so beautiful! ”

In fact, the center of the French 218CM, Frédéric Weiss, is not a nobody, but after that death button, his fate changed drastically. Carter became known to the world because of this button, and Weiss became the laughing stock of everyone's after-dinner conversation.

In fact, before playing in the Olympics, Wes was selected by the Knicks with the 15th pick in the first round of the 1999 NBA draft, but after the death dunk, the Knicks abandoned Wes, and the management believed that Wess was not strong enough to enter the NBA.

If it was just rejected by the NBA, Weiss could bear it, but then the doubts of the major media swept like a storm.

France's No. 1 sports newspaper "Team Newspaper" nicknamed Weiss "French Toast", and other media also said that they couldn't understand how such a tall center forward could let people fly over? It's an insult to one's own personality and so on. Under multiple blows, Weiss began to sink, alcoholism, suicide attempts, and almost fell into the abyss of fate.

Parker also happens to be a French player, and he knows what kind of morality his country's media is, and he is confused when he thinks about how he will be evaluated after this dunk.

Seeing Parker's uneasy appearance, Popovich had no choice but to replace him and send Van Exel.

The old man didn't count Parker's bad defense, but did ideological work for him, making him forget about this goal, beat the Suns, and win this game is the key.

Scold when you want to scold, and when you should encourage, Popovich can also maintain patience. He didn't want to see his disciple ruined on a dunk, and Anthony Piller, who was last dunked by Guo Xu, retired that season.

At the start of the match, Ginobili continued to play, but he was only capped and the stimulus was not too great.

The Spurs attacked, Finley passed the ball to Duncan in the low post, and he forced Haslem to turn and caused a foul on the beater, but missed two free throws. I don't know if the timeout can lower the Suns' morale, but Duncan's hand is a little cold.

The Suns attack, the Spurs have only one goal, and they must defend against Guo Xu!

Everyone at the scene guessed that the Suns players would continue to hand the ball to Guo Xu, and sure enough, he slipped to the bottom line and received the pass in the bottom right corner by covering without the ball.

Before the Spurs' bag came up, Guo Xu half-turned to face Van Exel and pulled three points. In the past, against Parker or others, Guo Xu had changed direction and broken through, but this time he suddenly made a move, Van Exel reacted slowly and did not jump, only stretched out his hand to slightly interfere.

Guo Xu watched the Spurs make substitutions, the 185CM tall veteran interfered with shooting is a weakness, and the bounce power has dropped significantly, so it is not surprising that he will retire after the end of this season.

This ball Guo Xu threw resolutely, the rhythm was perfect, and the hollow went into the net.

65 to 65, Guo Xu's personal 36th point, covering more than half of the team's scores.

Popovich's eyelids jumped on the sidelines, and he was most afraid of Guo Xu in this state.

How can you prevent this kind of person? It's completely open, and he can get in no matter how he throws!

Guo Xu has practiced too many three-point shots, and he is a shooting machine along the top of the arc, and he can score if he grasps the rhythm.

The Spurs players were a bit of a mess, and Ginobili broke through under Duncan's cover and was caught and passed the ball to Duncan in the high post.

This time Duncan was let go, and during the timeout, the Suns emphasized defensive tactics to prevent Duncan from playing low post and allowing him to shoot in the middle of the field. Duncan is efficient in the low post, has long-range mid-range shooting ability but is not dominant.

Duncan hesitated to shoot, the ball deflected, and Blake picked up the rebound.

In the Sun positional battle, Guo Xu continued to play without the ball, stood on the left baseline and ran to the right, and received a pass from the 70-degree Bell on the right side.

Van Exel pursued the defense very actively, afraid that Guo Xu would make a quick shot and block the first shot, so that his teammates could wrap up.

This time, Guo Xu made a realistic feint, bending his knees and holding the ball with both hands. Van Exel jumped up excitedly, and when he saw that Guo Xu didn't jump, he couldn't hold it back. Guo Xu jumped forward and bumped into Van Exel's ball to the basket, the referee blew the whistle, and the basketball flew into the basket when there was intense physical contact between the two sides.

Guo Xu went to the free throw line, and the fans chanted MVP together.

He also made a free throw, scoring 3+1 and scoring his 40th point, 69-65.

Popovich didn't call another timeout, just called one, and he couldn't have a better way to adjust, Parker needed to rest after the dunk ball, he didn't necessarily defend better, in case he was fouled and caught in foul trouble.

Finley passed the ball to the low post, Duncan took the ball on the right side and leaned around to shoot, and stepped on the penalty line to score on the board. 69 to 67.

Haslem can't do anything about this kind of ball, he can only carry it, and he may not be able to stop the shot if he wants to foul.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu wanted the ball as soon as he passed half court, except for Blake and him, everyone else pulled away.

Blake passed the ball to Guo Xu, and he went to the left three-point line to open up and wait for the opportunity to catch the ball, but the Spurs did not cover Guo Xu on the outside.

He dribbled a step and grabbed a three-pointer just off the team's mark, but Van Exel stepped back and only stretched out his hand to interfere slightly.

Van Exel didn't react at all, Guo Xu shot a three-point shot at this distance at the beginning, he felt that one time in the whole game was outrageous enough, this kind of shooting could not be used as a conventional weapon often.

He was wrong, Guo Xu often had a 40% hit rate when he threw this kind of ball in training, and he dared to throw it when the opponent retreated far away. The 40% hit rate is not low to be able to shoot easily, and the closer to the person may not be able to throw.

The ball arced high and flew into the hoop. 72-67, 43rd personal point.

Popovich was forced to ask for a timeout, no matter how much he was short, the Spurs had to use the bag to guard against Guo Xu's three points, otherwise the person who shoots in this kind of midfield will still be a fart.

Zhang Li sighed: "If the basketball game is set up with a four-point shot in the future, Guo Xu is the one who promotes this reform, and he has said in an interview before that he likes to shoot three-pointers because he doesn't have four points." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "I think he can shoot even if the 4-pointer is in the backcourt, no one in the world is more talented than him in shooting, there is no one who can compare with him, his dominance is stronger than O'Neal." ”

Guo Xu's three-point shooting rate in the playoffs is as high as 46%, and it should be possible to mention it after this game, which translates into a two-point shooting rate of more than 70%, which is really similar to the efficiency of O'Neal hitting the basket.

TNT Radio is also talking about Guo Xu, thinking that the Spurs will lose if they don't have the ball.

Even if it seems to be too late, after Guo Xu reversed the 19-point difference, the Suns' momentum has completely overwhelmed the Spurs.
