After the game, online fans began to talk about it again - "Only Westbrook can prevent Durant!" ”

Some people also said that it is too vulgar to say this every year, what is the death prevention of Durant? When Wei Shao forcibly broke through like a headless fly and stopped throwing waves, he could clearly defend all his teammates by himself.

DeRozan has been honed for three seasons and is an excellent scorer, if not on his own, with an average of only nine shots per game in the series. Against Ginobili, he had an absolute advantage in physical fitness, but he couldn't receive a pass.

Wei Shao's shooting percentage per game in the playoffs has never been high, but he always believes that he can shoot next time, so he dares to shoot and let his teammates who have a higher shooting percentage than him watch the excitement.

The thoughts of the teammates can be summed up in Jacky Cheung's song. "You're so poisonous, you're poisonous, you're poisonous, poisonous, poisonous......"

Wei Shao averaged 20.5 shots per game in the playoffs, with a shooting rate of 41.5%, and the data of 24 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.4 steals can attract a large number of pseudo-fans.

His only bright spot this year was actually the big two-pointer, hitting 2.4 of 4.7 shots for a 50.5 percent shooting rate, which is clearly Meng's.

If the Thunder continues to fight like this, if there is no big surprise, Durant will have to "defect" a few years after being pitted by Wei Shao. There is no championship for Wei Shao, this is a living irony, this person can't get past the first round of the playoffs when he is the boss.

Kobe Bryant in the parallel world said, "Westbrook plays 100% like me", a little too much to overestimate him. You know, this is a career average of 52.9% true shooting percentage in the regular season and 51.3% true shooting percentage in the playoffs.

The person who is most similar to Wei Shao is actually Iverson, who is unmatched in terms of true shooting percentage, with a regular season career of 51.8% and a playoff 48.9%.

The difference is that the former left the legend of "no one can prevent the peak Iverson (striking iron)", but it is not the time for Wei Shao to enter the alliance, the network has become too developed, and most people can see through the truth as soon as they check the high-end data. So as a strengthened version of Iverson, Wei Shao's popularity can't go up.

It was not easy for the Spurs to win in the second round, and the experts were overwhelmingly optimistic that the Suns would advance to the Finals. Even the Spurs coaching staff and players are not optimistic about themselves, and they are particularly low-key when they are interviewed, and they dare not speak harshly.

Fear is the most terrible enemy that shatters the human personality. Parker gradually lost his personality because of Guo Xu's changed life. In the past two years, he has begun to practice three-point shooting hard, but the effect is not good, and the breakthrough is not as resolute as in the past.

In the past, Parker was a breakthrough, no matter who the opponent was, he dared to break through a few steps away. He's honed a skill to the top of the league, and despite his technical flaws, he's never afraid of star point guards, and he's not at a loss when it comes to stats.

Now that the game hasn't been played, he can't eat well and sleep well at the thought of facing Guo Xu, and he has nightmares at night.

Parker's French journalist girlfriend, Axella, comforted him and said, "Tony, you should relax, everything will be okay, maybe you can win against the Suns this time." ”

"Even if the Spurs can win against the Suns, I can't beat him." Parker covered his face with his hands and sighed, "You don't understand, you don't know what kind of monster it is." I have an ominous premonition that tomorrow someone will die, either I will die or I will die. ”

How could Parker, who has this mentality, be able to defeat Guo Xu, who is numb to winning the game? It's not that Parker is fragile, a person has been abused by the same opponent for ten years since he entered the league, and it's strange if his mentality doesn't collapse, and Parker has played well against others.

The first game was played on the home court of the Suns, and Guo Xu singled out Parker on the weak side again and again, shaking out a little space to retreat and jump or break through, attracting the defense to divide the ball.

He scored 12 points and five assists in the first quarter and made five mid-range shots to lead his team to a 37-23 lead.

Popovich's plan was to strictly prevent Guo Xu from shooting three-pointers, but he didn't expect him to shoot only once in a single quarter, and let the two swingman teammates be responsible for the long-range shooting, and he scored two points himself.

Guo Xu's choice had a surprising effect, his singles did not necessarily have to be outside the three-point line, and the mid-range triple threat would also be a headache for opponents.

Tactically, a player's mid-range shooting ability allows the offense to go beyond the three-point line and under the basket, allowing for a variety of offensive options and better attracting the pack to create opportunities for teammates.

It's true that a three-point shot is more efficient than a mid-range shot, but a team that believes in the "uselessness of mid-range shots" can't win a championship.

Strengthening the defense of the penalty area is very simple, just shrink, three people are surrounded, and it is difficult for the opponent to hit both the back and the breakthrough.

It is also easy to defend against three points, the guard is actively close to the defense, and when encountering a big man who blocks and dismantles, it is difficult to change the defense in time when encountering a big man, and it is difficult to defend against the outside player who is good at changing direction and breaking through and stepping back to shoot.

The middle distance is a contradiction area, and the shooting distance seems to be the most efficient, but the big ones who shrink in this area often can't stand up, and they are easy to be passed when they come out, and the small players on the outside are blocked by the cover and it is difficult to quickly chase and prevent interference.

Guo Xu never thought of losing the mid-range shot, he shot on the court without dead corners, and his physical fitness was also stronger than Parker, and the No. 1 position crushed the Spurs.

The Suns led by 22 points in the third quarter, and Guo Xu played another half quarter in the final quarter to control the situation, and the Spurs couldn't catch up with the score and soon entered garbage time.

In the first game, the Suns won 113-90 and got off to a good start.

The Spurs didn't lead once in the game, and the Suns not only attacked well, but the defense also reduced the shooting percentage of Spurs players, and the GDP combination shot more than 50% from the field.

In the second game, the Suns players went wrong and lost the game 93-100, with a score of 1-1.

All teams have been in a similar situation, and the tactics can be played, but the open shots are still iron, as if the basket has an invisible cover.

In this game, the whole Suns team played crazy iron on the outside, and the more they missed, the more the Spurs shrank.

Thompson's hands were cold, and he shot just 5 of 16 from the field, including 1 of 11 from three-point range and 0 of 2 from the free throw line, scoring 11 points and 2 assists.

Thompson's shooting has been reliable most of the time and has been recognized as an excellent instant player this season. But as a rookie with no playoff experience, it's inevitable that he'll occasionally hit the rookie wall.

Guo Xu was 2 of 9, Richardson was 1 of 5, Roy was 0 of 4, and Thomas Jr. was 0 of 3......

It's a miracle that the Solar only lost by 7 points on such a poor outside shooting rate.

Next, the Suns didn't give the Spurs any more chance, eliminated the opponent 4-1, and advanced to the finals first.

The two home Spurs relied on tenacious defense and the Suns to stalemate until the fourth quarter, but when the stars needed to stand up and play key shots in the final quarter, Ginobili and Duncan were obviously inferior to Guo Xu and Roy.

Guo Xu scored a quasi-triple-double of 43 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in the fifth game, and the abusive Parker had no face after the game.

Parker's offensive end was also defended by Guo Xu as a blacksmith, shooting less than 40% in three games and barely reaching 41% overall shooting rate in five games, considering that he is a two-point player, averaging only 0.6 three-pointers per game, which is equivalent to being prevented to death.

Parker couldn't practice stable long-range shooting in his life, so he could only force breakthroughs and shoot under interference, and Guo Xu restrained him.

Ginobili was also inferior to Roy, averaging 14 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the series, shooting 44% from the field and 33.8% from three-point range. Considering that he is 35 years old and has gradually turned into a pampas vulture, this data is already beautiful.

Duncan is old and strong, averaging 18+9+3 per game in the series, but there are too many opponents playing, and the inside wheel battle encircles and suppresses him, a veteran, until he loses his physical strength.

Duncan's performance in the last quarter was obviously not as good as in the first three quarters, which is bullying.
