Chapter 677 [Contempt for opponents, cool!] 】
In the Suns positional battle, Guo Xu singled out Parker outside the three-point line, and this time Butler didn't dare to come out and follow Howard.
Guo Xu dribbled the ball to his left hand one meter outside the three-point line, changed direction to the right side and entered the three-point line at full speed before making a sharp stop, and dribbling the ball behind his right hand to the left hand to retreat.
Parker kept up with the first change of direction, and hurriedly stopped and took a step out, afraid that Guo Xu would retreat and grab three points. As a result, Guo Xu dribbled the ball to his right hand with his left hand, and the cross-step change was successful, and the action was perfectly connected.
Parker wanted to forcibly twist the center of gravity, sat on the ground, Guo Xu took a step inside the three-point line and made a jumper, and the ball hollowed into the net. 11 to 2.
Kenny Smith said: "The Lakers have to wrap up, and if Parker is single-handed, I suspect he's going to be dead if he can't finish this ankle. ”
Barkley laughed: "If there were a good point guard and a center, the Lakers would not have finished eighth in the West, and Bogut's performance was even more disappointing, he blew the cowhide for a summer, and the result was a defensive blue-collar worker." ”
The Lakers' offense was another player pulling away from the single, this time it was Butler who singled out Howard and missed the shot.
The triangle offensive routine has been played, but the Lakers' offensive efficiency is not high. This system requires at least two stars who are good at singles, who can not only ensure a high shooting percentage, attract packs, but also assist teammates. It would be embarrassing if the team's top and second scorers didn't have a high shooting percentage.
Kobe Bryant is not Jordan, Butler is not Pippen, and the shooting percentage is around 45%. Butler is averaging 15.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 36.4 minutes per game this year, and the ball is not as good as when he was with the Wizards in his previous life.
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu was caught as soon as he passed the half, and the ball was given to Howard, who responded.
If Payton or Blake are on the floor, they will do the second organization point, and they will shoot when they are sure of the vacant position, and organize if they are not sure, waiting for Guo Xu, who is running without the ball, to pass the ball.
Howard wasn't a playmaker and didn't have a good sense of passing, and he got into the three-point line with no one outside the three-point line and he rarely shot three-pointers.
After attracting Odom to make up for the defense, Howard did not pass to the vacant Haslem, and chose to make a pull-up jumper, although Odom took a step slow and only reached out to interfere, but it worked, and the ball bounced out of the frame. Haslem didn't receive a pass or rush to grab a rebound in the front court.
Guo Xu plans to find an organized and selfless No. 2 position in the summer to replace Howard. Joe Johnson was perfect last season, as long as there is such a person to partner him on the outside, the Suns are simply invincible, and next season they will have to score 70+ wins. Two point guards can also play well offensively, and defense suffers.
In the Lakers positional battle, Kobe Bryant hit Bell with his back in the low post, turned around and threw the ball backwards. 11 to 4.
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu gave his teammates a code, passed the ball to Howard through the midfield, and then ran in a straight line, relying on speed to get rid of the bag, Vallejo blocked Parker without the ball, and Howard took the ball to the three-point line and passed to Guo Xu, who was in the air.
Guo Xu received the ball and accelerated to pass Odom in one step, took the ball with both hands and shook it in the direction of Haslem without passing, Bogut hesitated a little to make up the defense, and it was too late to block it, Guo Xu easily went to the basketball. 13 to 4.
This season, Guo Xu rarely dunked, and he didn't jump without jumping with the floor flow style of play, but the fans still gave him warm applause. His style of play, which can be deducted but not deducted, is understood by many fans as a reserved play, which is contempt for the opponent, which is very cool!
Because Guo Xu has too many free and loose games on the defensive end, and now that he is playing with all his strength, many people suspect that he is not serious, which has become a big label for him.
Kobe Bryant began to be a little impetuous, and Guo Xu's performance was better than him, even if the Lakers won the regular season, Guo Xu's data was better than him, which made him very unhappy.
Parker dribbled the ball across the half court and was forced to scramble and passed to Kobe, who was closely entangled.
Bryant was still far from the three-point line and passed the ball to Odom, who immediately completed the close-up.
Haslem is the type of person that Odom hates the most, he is a player who focuses on the attack of the face frame, has average strength in the lower limbs, is not easy to turn around after being sticked, and the shooting percentage of forced shots is not too high.
Odom is physically strong, moves fast, and often makes breakaway dunks. But his strength is a little worse than that of a lot of inside muscular men.
He knows his strengths and weaknesses, so when he encounters a tall opponent who is slow and strong, he will pull to the outside and use speed and technology to break through; When encountering an opponent with fast speed and weak strength, he pressed to the bottom position to play singles. Haslem happens to be the kind of macho man who is fast and not weak.
In the game between the two, Odom's statistics are not higher, he always reduces the number of shots and passes, and the shooting rate is not guaranteed.
After passing back and forth a few times, the Lakers still ended the offense with heads-up, and Parker faced Guo Xu's jump shot outside the three-point line, but missed under the interference of the sealed eye.
The Sun quickly counterattacked, Howard advanced to the front court with the ball and passed to Guo Xu, and there was a funny scene on the court, Guo Xu was about to go to the basket. After receiving the ball, he hit Parker hard with his back, and leaned on Parker to score on the board. 15 to 4.
It's rare to score in this way, and the fans cheered in unison.
Parker not only failed to prevent it, but also did not foul it, and when the video replay was shown on the big screen of the court, "Zen Master" Jackson's face was almost green. Half a head taller makes people eat hard, what else can this kind of defender do?
Parker was caught off guard, he hadn't seen Guo Xu play like this, and he felt like he had been hit by someone heavier than himself. He is indeed a weak point in terms of confrontation, with a height of 193cm and a weight of only 82kg.
Jackson called a timeout, and his first adjustment was to replace Parker with a quicker second-round rookie, Monta Ellis.
Barkley laughed: "Jason casually hit Parker, if you don't change people, it will definitely be a massacre today." Jason often uses unexpected offensive methods, not only shooting beyond the threes, but also using his body to take advantage of his body. ”
Smith said: "He should have learned from Payton to play this kind of position, and he can use it when he goes against a guard." ”
THE 193CM TALL AND 82-KILOGRAM PAYTON IS A THIN MAN, BUT THE RECOGNIZED STUNT ON THE OFFENSIVE END IS A LOW BACK SHOT, WHICH IS A MIRACULOUS THING.
He told Guo Xu: The back hit has little to do with strength, the strength of the lower limbs can protect the ball, one looks at the shooting, the second looks at the speed, and the third looks at the connection of technology. Hit the opponent immediately strengthened, and the stronger person is not prepared and is easy to be hit with unstable breath, which affects the rhythm of defense.
It sounds like nonsense, but it's true, Ben Wallace fans often boast that he is super powerful, the league's No. 1 bench press weight, and can defend O'Neal alone, but this guy is not efficient at back. James's strength is definitely stronger than Kobe's, and now he is not good at playing with his back, and he can't squeeze people when he has his back.
Guo Xu relied on his short stature and hit the opponent coldly, and it was impossible for the referee to blow a foul.
The Suns didn't make any substitutions after the timeout, and they didn't change tactics. The Lakers sent Ellis to strengthen the defense, and Jackson arranged for him to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant after half time.
Ellis averaged 8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 42.3 percent from the field in the regular season.
Guo Xu saw that Ellis was not forced to play, and directly retreated to the three-point line to prevent breakouts and shoots. Ellis, a famous cancer in his previous life, played blindly for 12 seasons, and he didn't practice his three-point shot until he retired.
Ellis immediately felt uncomfortable, being put at such a large distance, Guo Xu obviously despised him, but before he came on the court, Jackson told him not to shoot outside, and he didn't score three points......
