The Suns adjusted their starting lineup, sent two guards to fight the offense, and put the 196CM Laga Bell as a small forward, and the 211CM Vallejo with a big and four small.

This is a targeted adjustment, Bowen is easy to defend and lacks the ability to attack with the ball, Blake can defend the main defense, and it doesn't matter if he is 10CM shorter. Bell defended Ginobili better than Josh Howard, having tried it during the regular season.

The Spurs also made adjustments, with big man Rasu Nesterovic coming off the bench, who was slow to move and couldn't form a twin-tower defense with Duncan. Horry is 36 years old, moves better than him, and has a range beyond the three-point line.

In the regular season, Rasso started 51 games and was only a pseudo-starter, averaging only 19 minutes per game, scoring 4.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 1.1 blocks. The management doesn't expect anything from him anymore and will definitely trade it out in the summer.

Duncan won with a jumper, and the Spurs attacked first.

Guo Xu retreated to the three-point line, let Parker go a step far, and prevented the breakthrough but not the shot.

Duncan and Parker played in the middle, and the other three opened up space. It's been a key tactic for the Spurs this season, and Popovich knows the benefits of having three players who can shoot threes together.

When encountering the block, Guo Xu immediately retreated to bypass Duncan, giving full play to the advantage of physical coordination, and quickly moved sideways to block Parker's breakthrough route. Parker shielded the ball to Duncan in the air, and Vallejo stepped up to the top.

Duncan dribbled with Vallejo on his back to the ball, and then turned to the left side for a jumper to dodge the block ball and score. 0 to 2.

Guo Xu gave Vallejo two applause on the sidelines and said loudly: "Anderson, good defense." ”

Vallejo only needs to keep Duncan away from the basket to complete the task, Duncan only has high offensive efficiency in the low post and under the basket, has the ability to shoot but has no dominance, has always been about forty percent of the shooting rate, and not many shots.

The Suns attacked, Blake dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Guo Xu adopted a no-ball play, running from the bottom left corner to the right, and Vallejo covered without the ball at the bottom line.

Bell saw Guo Xu running, and immediately gave way to the low corner and ran 70 degrees to the right to form a triangle offensive position.

This one with the big killer that belongs to the Suns, all teams are annoying, because it is easy to vacate a low-post interior player or an online Bale if Guo Xu is clamped, and he can catch the ball and play alone, and sometimes he can catch the ball and shoot directly.

Vallejo managed to block Parker, Guo Xu received Blake's pass on the right side, and Duncan didn't switch out.

Horry will have one flaw in starting Spurs, and that is the defense of the penalty area.

When he was with the Lakers, Horry was not bad defensively, and he was even excellent based on experience. Now he is really not good at defending the restricted area, 206CM height, in order to maintain mobility and lose weight to 103 kg, he suffers a loss, 206CM height is not good to interfere with shooting, speed, bounce are declining.

The Spurs pinned their hopes on Parker's chasing speed, but this is the home court of the Suns, and the referee can't blow Vallejo to cover the foul as soon as he comes up.

Guo Xu easily received the ball in the bottom corner of the right side, shot with three points, and the ball went into the net hollow. 3 to 2.

The Spurs played blocking and dismantling, Guo Xu still chose to bypass the cover from the inside to chase the defense, Parker made a one-step stop-and-go jump shot at the three-point line this time, Guo Xu couldn't block it, but the ball was deflected, and Haslem won the rebound.

When Duncan was on the outside, the Spurs didn't rush to grab the rebound, but they could just keep the speed of the defense. This is an important reason why the Spurs let Horry start, originally waiting for opportunities on the outside, retreating quickly, and the joint defense is in place.

Sun positional battle, the tactics just now were fought again, and the Blake ball protection organization waited for Guo Xu to run, still from the left to the right.

After receiving the ball, Parker chased it out, a little slower, Guo Xu took the ball in the bottom corner and shook it, the feint was very realistic, and then dribbled to the left side with a step, followed by a left-footed step, and a 50-degree jumper three-point shot.

Parker was directly pulled away by two steps, Bowen let go of Bell's defense and was slow, and Guo Xu made a quick shot and hit another three-pointer. 6 to 2.

The home fans cheered together, Guo Xu's state today is brave, and he may soar to a high score, which is what they want to see the most.

CCTV5's commentators had similar expectations. Zhang Li said: "Guo Xu hasn't won 50+ since he entered the playoffs this year, I hope he can get a high score this time." ”

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "If the Spurs keep letting Parker defend alone, I don't think it will be difficult for him to score 50 points, and the step jump shot will not be easy to defend." ”

Guo Xu's retreat technique has been practiced in the loop, and he is perfect for most of his shots with the ball. He can get rid of the defense with his speed, and his consistency is second only to the "double retreat" of the walk, which is a little slower in the dribble, but it is completely in line with the rules.

The Spurs attacked, Parker broke through and was caught up by Guo Xu, and he couldn't play the misplaced offense he was familiar with.

He relies on the speed dislocation to burst into a big man with a very high success rate, and he can get a layup when he hits it, but Guo Xu's success rate of bypassing the cover is also very high, and he can always maintain his center of gravity and chase quickly. Years of parkour and dance training have made Guo Xu's body coordination the first in the league.

Parker made a strong pass to Duncan, "Stone Buddha" hit Valejo with his right back and turned to shoot, deflected under interference, Guo Xiu retreated and picked up the rebound, turned around and rushed to the front court to launch a fast attack.

Parker quickly returned to the defense, not daring to retreat too far for fear that he would grab a three-pointer.

Guo Xu rushed to the three-point line in one breath on the left side, made an emergency stop and dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand, and Parker also stopped to follow. Guo Xu held the ball in his right hand and turned to the left side to Parker to follow, but this was not over, Guo Xu pulled the ball and strode and turned to the middle, jumped with both feet, got rid of Parker and attracted Duncan to make up the defense.

He half-turned in the air and passed the ball from the back of his head with his left hand, which was flanked by Duncan to the right baseline, and Vallejo took a step to catch the ball and slammed it in with both hands. 8 to 2.

Zhang Li shouted: "Beautiful, this will definitely be selected as today's top five balls, Guo Xu can play casually." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "This is the reason why he can win the regular season MVP four times in a row, it is impossible to prevent it with a single defense, and the technical connection is too good." ”

After spraying Bowen, Guo Xu dared to jump, he didn't believe that his opponent dared to step on his feet, and Bowen was also led away by Bell.

He knows Vallejo's habits better, and this interior teammate has a trait that lacks range and doesn't run around. Haslem is on the left, and he usually stays on the right, only getting high when he blocks pick-and-rolls.

The Spurs attacked, and Parker passed the ball to Ginobili.

Bale defended closely, and Ginobili's serpentine break failed to get off the ground, and was distributed to Horry.

Haslem defended the ball and was shorter than Horry, who couldn't have swooped down on the ball and was passed to Parker on the back guard.

Parker still couldn't get rid of Guo Xu, the face frame changed direction and turned to be followed, and the throw was deflected under Guo Xu's interference, Vallejo stuck Duncan and pulled the ball out, not taking the rebound, Haslem grabbed the rebound.

Guo Xu received the ball in the half, but the Spurs still didn't get on the bag.

Payton can wrap Guo Xu on the perimeter, but Blake can't partner with him. Blake can also catch the ball and throw three points, although he doesn't shoot as much as Guo Xu, but the shooting rate is over 40%, which is very accurate.

Guo Xu made a move one meter outside the three-point line, dribbled the ball to his left hand under his crotch, and stepped back with his left foot to meet Parker's three-point shot.

Parker stepped back a little and then didn't cover it, and he was relieved that the ball was wide under a serious interference. If the opponent can still score a goal to this extent, it is very shocking, and Guo Xu is the best at doing this kind of thing.

The Spurs attacked, Guo Xu put Parker farther, had two steps, and used his peripheral vision to observe the side cover, which is difficult for the big man to block the opportunity at this distance.

"I won't guard against you, vote! What kind of all-star are you? Guo Xu yelled at Parker.
