Chapter 374 [Target Double Kings, Two Advantages]

On October 28, the first NBA opener game was played in San Antonio, Suns vs. Spurs.

This is a contest between last season's opponents, and it is the focus of this round carefully arranged by the league.

Last year, the two teams played fiercely in the Western Finals, which attracted the attention of a large number of fans. Guo Xu is the most exposed star in the NBA in the summer, and everyone wants to see how he can perform this year.

ESPN broadcast live in the United States, and CCTV5 in China also broadcast the game live, Zhang Li introduced as soon as he came up: "Today is a good opportunity for Guo Xu to play beautiful statistics, Anthony Carter is an ordinary player, just a role player." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Even without the starting point guard, the Spurs' strength is not weak, and how to defend Duncan is a problem that the Suns have to solve today." ”

How important are stats to stars? Not only the fans, but also the commentators love to watch the stars play super stats.

Guo Xu likes statistics as soon as he enters the league, he gave gifts to his teammates before the start of the regular season, which won everyone's favor, needless to say, his teammates also know that when they receive his pass, they try to shoot directly and give him an assist.

Guo Xu's goal this year is to hit a super double-double and compete for the scoring title and assist title at the same time, as long as he does it, there is no suspense in winning the regular season MVP.

He is confident to do it because he has two advantages.

First, the Suns' offensive rhythm is the fastest in the league, easy to create heads-up opportunities and assist data, and they run like the Thunder team of the future. Westbrook has averaged three doubles per game, can't he work hard to average 30+10 per game?

The second is that he remembers that the data kings in his previous life were not very prominent, Maddy became the scoring king with an average of 28 points per game, and he couldn't remember what the specific data of the assist king was, and he must have not made a double.

Before the start of the game, the Spurs held a championship ring awarding ceremony, and "Admiral" David Robinson was present to watch the game and receive his ring, and the audience gave him a warm applause.

Robinson has a storied career, with peak season stats approaching 30+10+5+3, and helping the Spurs win championships twice. He was drafted by the Spurs in 1987 as the top pick and played for the team until his retirement. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, the owner gave him some Spurs shares as a reward.

When the Suns players played, Spurs fans booed Guo Xu because he predicted this season's rivals in an interview and did not take Spurs seriously, which made Spurs fans feel very unhappy.

Guo Xu's worst time after entering the league also reached the division finals, he is used to seeing big scenes, and he has long been booed, he is very relaxed, warmed up and hit six three-pointers, and his hand is hot.

In the preseason, Guo Xu was playing in the past, and according to the coach's arrangement, he had more run-in with the newcomers, and he could let go of the pitch today.

The starters came on the pitch and the Suns adjusted their lineup, which surprised many people.

Suns five: Guo Xu, Ragapel, Marion, Stoudeyer, Diop.

Spurs five: Anthony Carter, Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, Duncan, Nesterovich.

Zhang Li was puzzled: "At the beginning, the Sun actually sent a blue-collar center, and I didn't hear that any players were injured before the game." ”

Xu Jicheng analyzed: "I think the team's defeat last season made the coaching staff understand that the opponent cannot be defeated by pure attack, and Diop must have come up to strengthen the defense." ”

Diop jumped the ball to win against Nesterovic and the game began.

Guo Xu received the ball from the outside of the three-point line and dribbled to his teammates, Diop went to the left low post to attract defense, Bell went to the bottom corner of the right side, and Marion was 70 degrees on the left side, all of which were pulled away.

Guo Xu and Xiao Si in the middle blocked and dismantled the right side, and the Spurs used a man-to-man tactic, the right side was the weak side, and no one on the flanks could cover Guo Xu. Duncan hurriedly changed the defense, Guo Xu passed the ball to the middle, Carter chased the defense from behind, and Guo Xu attracted the attention of the two.

Xiao Si received the ball easily in the high post, Duncan turned around and could only reach out to interfere slightly, and the ball went in. 2 to 0.

Xiao Si threw an ordinary jump shot, but the Suns fans in front of the TV were very excited, this kind of goal is not as beautiful as a dunk, but it represents Xiao Si's progress. If he had been able to make consistent mid-range shots last season, perhaps the Suns would have eliminated the Spurs.

D'Antoni gave Xiao Si two applause on the sidelines, very satisfied with his disciple's performance.

The Spurs attacked, Carter and Duncan were not powerful in blocking and dismantling, he was not fast, and Guo Xu easily bypassed the cover to keep up.

Guo Xu is experienced, and when dealing with this kind of player who lacks range, as long as he breaks through and keeps his distance, this is the type that all defenders like to defend.

Carter split the ball, Duncan responded in the middle, and Ginobili caught the ball on the side by covering the run, but it was deflected wide by Bell's interference.

The Suns are also man-markers, Bale is better than Joe Johnson, and Diop grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and passed it to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu went down the fast break alone, and a back dribble changed direction to pass Carter by speed, and he made a layup on the left side. 4 to 0.

The Spurs attacked, the Suns formed contraction, Duncan received the ball on the right side and singled with his back, and he didn't squeeze Diop twice. The Suns had no one to help defend, and Duncan couldn't get out of the space after turning, he passed the ball to his teammates and pulled it out.

After a couple of passes, Bowen hit a jumper from the left corner.

When the big man is moving near the penalty area, the bottom line is prone to misalignment opportunities, but unfortunately Bowen is not good at attacking with the ball, he can only catch the ball and shoot, and the number of shots per game is not much, and Xiao Si's slight interference has an effect.

Marion protected the backcourt rebound, the Suns battled, Guo Xu and Xiao Si played blocking and dismantling, the ball was crossed to the middle, Xiao Si shook in the face of Carter, and the shot missed the basket again.

Duncan grabbed the rebound, Carter was forced by Guo Xu when he dribbled the ball across the half, and he moved laterally to shoot the ball back to his own half, and there will be no particularly obvious home whistle in the BA opener, because this is a big spot.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Xiao Si blocked and dismantled the right side for the third time, Duncan thought that he would break through the pass, and the distance was far away, but Guo Xu moved sideways and took a step back with his right foot, and made a 70-degree jump shot on the right side.

Carter, nicknamed "Stupid Bird", has average talent, his chasing speed is not fast enough, and his height of 185CM has no advantage in the face of Guo Xu, and he didn't cover the side jump late.

Guo Xu knew that Carter couldn't cover it, so he didn't panic at all, the shooting rhythm was perfect, and the ball was hollow into the net.

7 to 0, 5th personal point.

The Spurs attacked, Carter made another mistake, he wanted to pass the ball to Ginobili who slipped to the bottom line, saw the opportunity but the pass was a little stronger, Ginobili did not catch it with one hand, and the ball touched the bottom line.

** Vicky shook his head on the sidelines, although he has often scolded Tony Parker in the past two years, but it is for the good of the players, and he hopes that Parker can play a bigger role. A point guard like Carter doesn't bother to scold, it's useless to scold, it's the life of the substitute.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu continued to hold the ball to block and dismantle, attracting Duncan to switch defenses and then split the ball to the middle, Xiao Sikong jumped up with a step, and in the face of the retreating Nesterovic forced a miss, Diop grabbed the rebound in the front court.

Diop is a strange man, stepping on the left penalty area line and feeling too far away from the basket, he chose to separate the ball from the periphery to Guo Xu, who ran to the left side. In fact, he only needs to dribble one step to get into the basket and dunk violently, and he doesn't dare to dribble a single step.

Guo Xu received the scouting step at 50 degrees, Carter stepped forward and wanted to be close, Guo Xu took a big step with his right foot, dribbled and changed direction to pass Carter in one step, and the ball was thrown in the bottom line in a sudden stop.

9-0, Guo Xu scored 7 points and 1 assist in the opening game, and the ** Vic who played asked for a timeout.
