The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Stadamire split the ball to the middle after blocking and dismantling, Xiao Si was blocked by the retreating Dampier, Kirisek, who did not find a vacancy, played and squeezed Dampier strongly, and separated the ball out of the periphery to find Guo Xu.

Guo Xu posed in a three-threat posture on the right side of the frame, suddenly started after probing, took a big step with his left foot to break through the baseline and crossed Arenas, and shot a layup on a high board.

Dampier jumped a little slower and couldn't cover it, and the ball hit the board and fell into the basket.

The strength of Guo Xu's move is not only the high arc, but also the fast shot, the defender usually judges whether the opponent will shoot before jumping up and blocking, and rarely jumps in advance. When the opponent realized that Guo Xu was going to use this move, it was too late, and Kobe Bryant couldn't cover it.

13 to 12, Guo Xu scored 7 points.

Smith said: "After Jason left the Lakers, the increase in the number of shots was mainly on breakthrough layups, and he seemed to have played in the first two years, otherwise it would not be difficult to average more than 25 points per game." ”

Barkley agreed. "I think as long as Jason is unique, he can compete for the scoring title this year, not necessarily worse than Maddy and Kobe, who have a much higher number of shots than him and a low shooting percentage."

The Warriors attacked, and Arenas was close again, squeezing twice without squeezing Guo Xu.

Last season, Arenas and Guo Xu did not play against each other many times, and it was usually Larry Hughes who went to the main defense. The two teams have faced each other this season, and Arenas has never taken advantage.

He knows very well that Guo Xu's defensive ability is not as weak as uploaded on the Internet, let alone a defensive black hole, he admires Guo Xu a little, the active first point guard is really not blown out.

Guo Xu led by example and defended seriously, and he didn't deliberately release water for a long time, and he never discussed releasing water with young players.

Once a player develops the habit of being lazy, he may not be nervous in the future, and the newcomer must learn to be serious. This is the case with some people who play on weak teams who can't learn to defend for a long time.

The boss of the team actively defends, and his teammates naturally dare not be lazy, and his attitude is very serious when he defends alone, and the task given to them by the coaching staff is very simple.

Guo Xu adopts Beverley's "mad dog" style defense, and his physical strength is the top in the league, and he practiced it in the second time loop. In the 2001 finals, he and Iverson fought hard to keep up with the wind, and they kept running except for garbage time. If it weren't for the fact that the Suns had a lot of garbage time in their games, he could have averaged more than 40 minutes per game without pressure.

Arenas held the ball to block and dismantle, Murphy came out to block Guo Xu, Arenas turned to the left side and wanted to get rid of it quickly, but as soon as he turned around, Marion rushed out and reached out to poke off the basketball and steal successfully.

Guo Xu turned around quickly, and sprinted straight in the middle to get rid of the big forward Murphy, Arenas was not as fast as him, and it was too late to turn around and chase the defense.

Marion passed, Guo Xu received the ball and didn't take it inside, stopped in the middle to shoot three points, and hit the empty position.

16-12, 10th individual score.

Kenny Smith said: "Jason is so confident that others will definitely choose to go to the basket when they encounter this kind of opportunity. ”

Barkley laughed: "It's a pity that there is no four-point shot, otherwise the Warriors may have prevented it in this round, and he would have been able to shoot in the midfield." ”

Smith smiled and leaned back, and they both felt that this was something Guo Xu could do.

Guo Xu has indeed been practicing long-distance three-point shooting, and this season has never stopped, but it has not yet reached the point of deliberately increasing practice.

The Warriors attacked, Arenas did not continue to single out Guo Xu, he is not the boss of the team and needs to ensure efficiency. He had a very good relationship with Jamison, and the two discussed how to play before the game.

Arenas first passed the ball to Battier, who made a mid-flair pass to Jamison. The Suns are a hybrid defense, with Guo Xu in charge of marking point guards and four other people in charge of the area.

Jamison picked Kirisek's side to attack, turned and stepped back to shoot. 16 to 14.

The Suns' wing defense is flawed, Kirisek is 198cm tall and weighs 100kg, but the defense is far from the level of an expert, and the opposing star is definitely blown up.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu distributed the ball to Marion, Battier followed him, Marion dribbled to Joe Johnson, who ran away from Dampier and shot a 70-degree three-point shot on the right side, and the near-empty opportunity was deflected off the basket again.

Joe Johnson is not in his prime, his shooting is not very consistent, he can score continuously when he is in good shape, he continues to hit iron when he is not in good shape, and today he feels cold.

Jamison grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed to Arenas, who went down the fast break alone, and faced Guo Xu on the right side to use his height advantage to grab a three-point miss, and the retreating Joe Johnson grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu observed the situation and played the block first, attracting Murphy to change the defense and pass to Joe Johnson again. This time Joe Johnson finally didn't disappoint, hitting a three-point shot from the bottom right corner.

19-14, Guo Xu's fourth assist.

As long as Battier goes to defend Marion, there will be a misalignment on the outside, and Dampier can prevent Stodameyer from cutting in the air when he moves near the penalty area, but it is too difficult to prevent outside shots, even Garnett and Duncan can't do it both inside and outside.

Guo Xu believes that this kind of good opportunity should be passed on, and everything will be very simple when teammates find their hands.

Warriors coach Musselman did not call a timeout, and learned from the sidelines as a "Zen master" and laughed at the situation. This white coach has a smile on his lips, a suit and leather shoes, and short blond hair looks shrewd and capable, always looking confident.

It's weird as the manager of a lotto team......

Murphy hit a high jumper, Dampier grabbed the rebound, he bobbed and gave it to Jamison from close range, who squeezed away Kirisek for a layup, 19-16.

Guo Xu blocked and then passed to Joe Johnson, who shook a shot in the bottom corner, changed direction and passed Dampier who had defended and hit the basket, attracting Battier to make up for the defense and then split the ball, and Marion scored an easy layup on the left side. 21 to 16.

Barkley said: "Just over the halfway point, the Suns scored 21 points, and they are likely to score more than 40 points in a single quarter, and this year the Suns are the team with the most 40+ points in a single quarter, and the offense is really pleasing to watch." ”

"The stats show that the Suns are averaging 112 points per game after the change of coach, which ranks first in the league, but they also average 105 points per game and rank second to last in the league in defensive efficiency," Smith said. ”

Barkley laughed: "Because it's going to be easier to attack, all teams have the illusion that they can beat the Suns, and then find that the opponent's attack is too fierce to defend. This kind of competition looks particularly exciting. ”

After Arenas was cut off by Marion once, he played carefully in blocking and dismantling, attracting the ball to the middle after changing defenses, and wanted Murphy to use his height advantage to face Guo Xu's jump shot.

The ball he passed was too low, Guo Xu jumped up and steal directly, turned around and played a fast attack after landing, two steps to shake off Murphy, Jamison made up the defense, Guo Xu passed to the teammate who followed up on the other side, Joe Johnson scored a one-handed dunk basketball.

23 to 16, Guo Xu's fifth assist, full play.

Joe Johnson can occasionally dunk when no one is defending, without any tricks, not pretty at all.

Smith commented: "The sun is interesting in that it is very good to jump on the inside and the floor on the outside. This is Jason taking the lead, he doesn't jump with all his strength when someone defends, he actually has good bounce, but rarely shows it. ”

"So he's got a lot of attendance, and the Suns have had very few injuries overall this season, so if I had done that when I was younger, I would have had a better career," Barkley sighed. ”

Barkley won two rebounds with less than two meters tall, and the price of bravery is frequent injuries, and most of the flyers are vulnerable......
