Chapter 403 [It's still good to attack basketball]
The game continued, and Hamilton ran to catch the ball and hit a two-point shot to make it 22-6.
Guo Xu played the block and dismantled to attract Daben to change the defense and distribute the ball to the middle, Xiao Si cut in the air, and Oku made up the defensive position and did not let Xiao Si get up.
In his previous life, Oku was selected as an All-Star because of more than just a three-point shot, he has a lot of experience in Europe, and he is excellent on both offensive and defensive ends, and he knows what he needs to do.
Xiao Si didn't play hard, and the ball was given to Haslem on the left. The latter had just come on the court before he could move, and Oku grabbed the rebound with a slight interference from Big Ben, who was chasing the defense, and missed the shot.
The Pistons attacked, after blocking and dismantling, Oku received the ball in the middle, and the high jumper was deflected under the interference of Bale, and Xiaosi grabbed the defensive rebound.
Smalls wanted to launch a counterattack, but the pass was a little too rushed, and was directly tackled by Oku near the top of the arc, and passed to Hamilton, who received the ball and shot quickly, and scored with a mid-range shot. 22 to 8.
Bale and Guo Xu ran away together on the fast attack, and could only make up for it with their teammates on the wing, and Hamilton would not miss this opportunity.
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed to Joe Johnson and ran to the bottom left corner, slipped the bottom line to the right side, and used the covering tactics that the Suns often practiced.
Joe Johnson first passed to Bale, who ran to 70 degrees, and the latter transferred the ball to the bottom corner for Guo Xu.
The Suns' "elevator cover" has been studied by other teams, and at this time, the interior pursuit defense must be active, and Oku pounced to prevent Guo Xu from three points in the bottom corner on the right side. Guo Xu took the ball and shook it, changed direction and took a step past Oku to take a 45-degree emergency stop and shoot, and scored on the board.
24-8, 17th personal point.
The meat shield blue-collar is dislocated in defense, and Guo Xu can break through casually when his teammates don't come to wrap up.
The guard against the center is the most serious misalignment on the court, not to mention Guo Xu, other small guards can also do it, in the 1999-00 season, Trill Brandon, who entered a period of decline, can play 17+9 data in the Timberwolves by relying on blocking tactics.
Seeing Guo Xu scoring continuously, Billups also wanted to return one, and brought it to the front court to rely on his height advantage to suddenly pull out three points, Guo Xu jumped up to interfere, the ball was deflected, and Joe Johnson grabbed the rebound.
Ignoring the cold arrow requires distance, Guo Xu sticks too tightly, Billups shooting is easy to disrupt the rhythm, if you don't rely on cover, it is almost impossible to get rid of Guo Xu's entanglement at his speed.
In the positional battle, Guo Xu played the block and dismantle again, pulled the ball away from the weak side, and after attracting Big Ben to change defense, he dribbled the ball to his left hand under his crotch, and changed direction to the right side to break through, Ben Wallace followed from the side, ready to give Guo Xu a big hat.
Guo Xu took it to the basket but didn't go to the basket, but half-turned and passed the ball from the side of the big itself to the middle, Xiao Si squeezed Billups to cut into the air, jumped up after receiving the ball, and smashed the ball with one hand!
26 to 8, Guo Xu's fourth assist.
Big Ben can't block half a second slower when he turns, his advantage is strength, and his explosiveness is not as good as Xiao Si, so on the offensive end, Big Ben is not very powerful after blocking and dismantling, and his teammates can't throw the ball into the sky to complete the empty catch.
The Pistons attacked, and Hamilton drew the defense and assisted Oku to score on a corner shot. 26 to 10.
In fact, Oku is fully capable of shooting outside the three-point line, but Brown forced him to cover the three-point line and take one or two steps to catch the ball and shoot, otherwise he would not be allowed to play, Oku, who is known for shooting three-pointers in Turkey, was stunned and only averaged 0.7 three-pointers per game that was transformed.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Oku joined the Jazz in 2004, and Jerry Sloan was also a coach who didn't like three-point shooting, but Oku could shoot 4.2 and hit 1.6 at his peak.
The most suitable team for Oku is the Mavericks, but unfortunately in 2004, the Mavericks management gave Dampier a long-term contract with a high salary, and he didn't look at Oku at all.
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu was brought to the front court and was close to Billups, covered by his teammates, and Big Ben defended it outside the three-point line.
Guo Xu distributed the ball to Joe Johnson, who passed to Xiao Si of the empty cut. Xiao Si encountered Oku, who was making up the defense, chose to play strongly this time, turned around and missed the shot under the interference, and Oku immediately got stuck and won the rebound.
Brown's emphasis on tactics is to resolutely contain Guo Xu's point, so that he is neither good at shooting nor breaking through, and other positions may be vacant, it depends on whether the Suns players can seize the opportunity.
After Oku came out, the Pistons also opened up on the offensive end, and the second half of the performance was not inferior to the Suns.
In the final two minutes, the Pistons replaced Billups with Lynch Hunter, a two-way guard who can shoot three-pointers and is slightly shorter.
The Suns replaced Smalls and replaced Nene with Nene, who was also responsible for blocking and dismantling down the middle, and when he met the defensive ball, he shot to Haslem, who received an assist and threw a mid-range shot.
Before the end of the first quarter, the Suns made their last attack, Guo Xu singled out Hunter with the ball on the periphery, dribbled behind his back, stepped back to shoot, and hit near the free throw line.
The Pistons also hit one in the final 6 seconds, Hunter forced a layup and missed, and Oku scored a layup.
The Suns led 30-18 into the second quarter, Guo Xu had 19 points and 4 assists, and Billups shot 0 of 3 in a single quarter, scored no points, and sent two assists.
In the second quarter, Billups, who had a two-minute break, came up to bring a substitute.
He finally started to play against Blake, shooting 2 of 2, in fact, a three-pointer, and a break after a pick-and-roll caused a foul on Nene, making both free throws and scoring a total of 7 points. Backup quarterback Bob Soula also made a mid-range shot, making one of two free throws on a breakaway.
However, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Nene also scored in succession to maintain their advantage of more than 10 points. It's a luxury for these three to have a bench, and Howard can also play on the defensive end, not a fuel-efficient lamp.
When the main forces came back one after another, the pistons couldn't stand it again.
Nene and Xiao Si partner on the inside, and the outside line is Marion, Joe Johnson, and Guo Xu. This is the strongest lineup of the Suns, the offense can open up space, and the defense is equally tight, and the Pistons players who defend it hit the iron and then immediately hit the counterattack.
Brown's style of play is to keep players on breakaways or running off the ball to the basket, and replace Oku again. As a result, in the face of the Suns' joint defense, people crowded around the penalty area, and they were interfered with when they shot, and they also ate a few big hats.
The Suns can create heads-up opportunities even if they don't play more or less. Guo Xu made 2 of 5 three-point shots, once passed Campbell for a breakthrough layup, and once caused Billups to foul and hit both free throws.
The most exciting scene was when Xiao Si received a pass from Guo Xu when he was counterattacking, and scored with both hands on his back buckle.
In this quarter, Guo Xu scored 10 points and 1 assist, and scored 29 points and 5 assists in the half, leading the Suns to a 59-41 lead.
At halftime, Chinese fans also paid attention to Guo Xu, and many people left messages on the Internet, hoping that CCTV5 could broadcast more of the Sun's game. Guo Xu scored 30 points like a bag and attracted a large number of fans.
The Rockets defeated the 76ers 74-66 on the road in a game they just ended, and the two sides staged a battle of iron.
Francis shot 3-of-17, Jim Jackson shot 3-of-11, and even Yao Ming became a blacksmith with 5-of-15.
The Rockets were able to win because the opposite side was even more unbearable, with Iverson shooting 4 of 19, Mark Jackson shooting 4 of 13, Snow shooting 3 of 10, and the most accurate McGee shooting 4 of 9.
Since Jeff Van Gundy coached the Rockets, they have averaged less than 90 points per game, which is not as good as the Suns playing three quarters, and Chinese fans only watch the Rockets to support Yao Ming, and then everyone admits that offensive basketball is still good.
Some Chinese fans watched the live text broadcast on the Internet and followed the Suns, wondering what statistics Guo Xu could play today, hoping that the Pistons could hold out until the fourth quarter.
