The Grizzlies attacked, Williams played a block in the middle and passed to Gasol, who received the ball with his back on the left side and leaned on Haslem to turn and hook the ball into the middle. 7 to 4.

Gasol's singles ability is always underestimated, because he has too few shots, in fact, he has the height and arm span of a center, the skill of a small forward, the speed is fast enough to participate in the fast break, the heads-up shooting rate and efficiency are very high, and he has the ability to average 20+ per game.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Gasol's problem was his lack of domineering. He has been the Grizzlies boss for many years, averaging 14.9 shots per game in a single season, and he has never averaged 15+ shots per game.

His style is the perfect second-in-command, efficient and selfless, but he can't dominate the game with his individual ability when it matters most.

The sun attacked, Guo Xu played blocking and dismantling or went to the left side, Gasol thought he was going to break through again, and he stood relatively backward, but he didn't expect Guo Xu to move sideways and quickly shoot three points.

The ball bounced off the frame, but he had a good chance of a cold shot, Williams missed the block, and Randolph grabbed the rebound.

The Grizzlies can't play a fast break, so they can only grind their positions slowly.

Williams couldn't break through and was close to Guo Xu, he didn't turn around on the right side, forced the ball to change direction to find Gasol to pass the ball, Haslem suddenly went around the front, made a successful gambling steal, and passed to Guo Xu, who was on the fast attack.

Guo Xu received the ball and entered the penalty area, took the ball with his left hand and made a layup action, stopped sharply at his feet, Williams he was one step behind, jumped up on the side and wanted to block it but found that it was a feint and was shaken away.

Guo Xu took the ball back, took his left foot as the axis, took a step towards the middle with his right foot and turned around, and hooked the ball with his right hand. 9 to 4.

Zhang Li shouted: "Beautiful, Guo Xu's ball is very similar to the footsteps of a big dream." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "He has a lot of scoring methods, and it is not difficult to beat Williams. ”

The Grizzlies attacked, Gasol didn't play hard with the ball in the middle, and the Suns came to defend with a short man to try to get Gasol to shoot, but his play was too simple and not good for the team.

The Grizzlies' winning mode is also a combination of inside and outside, Gasol and Randolph lack three-point range, and they can win against ordinary teams with two-point play, but not against a team with super offensive power like the Suns, they have to drive their outside teammates to shoot away.

Gasol passes to Miller, who has no choice but to be close to Marion, a tall, muscular top shooter who shoots from the ground but rarely breaks through with the ball.

Miller passes the ball, and Posey is close to Joe Johnson, one of the league's best defensive swingmen, scoring mostly by catching and shooting, and occasionally breaking through the baseline.

Posey singled out Joe Johnson and failed to break through the baseline, passed the ball again, and saw that it was almost 24 seconds old, Randolph singled out Smalls on the left side, turned and stepped back to hit a jumper. 9 to 6.

Although the ball was scored, Randolph couldn't attract the bag and was stared at on the outside.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu continued to block and dismantle the weak side, Gasol returned to defend Xiao Si in place, and Guo Xu singled Williams on the right side.

He dribbled the ball behind his left hand, shook it lightly and then received a feint from the Buddha, Williams took a small step forward, Guo Xu changed direction with the ball in his left hand to the right, and scored a 50-degree one-step stop-and-go jump shot. 11 to 6.

He didn't take an extra step, and Gasol, who defended Xiaosi, and Miller, who was on the baseline, didn't have time to make up for it. Miller was closest but didn't dare to wrap up, Guo Xu passed the bottom corner was an empty three-point opportunity, and this year Joe Johnson's position was accurate.

The old coach Hubby Brown felt helpless on the sidelines, and Guo Xu's singles were very powerful tactics.

The three-time Lakers can also play the same thing, first using triangle offense and man-to-man defense to drag the game into a blind rhythm, and then use their rich experience to defeat their opponents.

is also heads-up, Randolph and Gasol are only twenty or thirty points at most, but Guo Xu is the one who has won the scoring title, and last season's series against the Timberwolves was 50+ in three consecutive games, and a game of 67 points is unforgettable.

If there are no defensive experts on the inside and outside of the team, and Guo Xu is not included, then it will be over, and the opponents he often throws will doubt life.

Unfortunately, Williams has a good passing and ball control, but what he lacks most is defence. He broke through the face frame and made up his life, and Guo Xu was much worse than interfering with the shot, because Guo Xu could fight closely, and his strength couldn't stick to the opponent at all.

After two more rounds, the Grizzlies began to wrap up Guo Xu, and he immediately began to distribute the ball to his teammates, not caring about the scoring statistics.

Gasol came to wrap him and pass Xiaosi, the wing players came to pack him and pass Joe Johnson, and his teammates selflessly shared the ball after attracting the defense, and the Suns bloomed more, and soon widened the difference to more than 10 points.

In the first quarter, the Suns led 38-25, Guo Xu scored 11 points and 5 assists, and Williams scored 0 points and 2 assists.

Zhang Li sighed: "How to prevent Guo Xu now is a big problem in the whole league, if he doesn't get a high score in his own singles, he loses faster, the whole team is open, and he has more than 15 assists." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Magic Johnson is recognized as the No. 1 point guard in NBA history, and I think it's only a matter of time before Guo Xu surpasses him, and he now surpasses Isaiah Thomas, Robertson, Stockton and others in personal honors." ”

The Suns have a very strong rotation, Payton, Raja Bell, Josh Howard, Haslem, Nene .

Haslem played again after a five-minute break in the first quarter, and this year Diop has not had many opportunities to perform, and he only came out to play a dozen when he encountered an inside lineman who is good at attacking the box. The Suns can actually complete the rotation with only three people inside, and Marion can also make a cameo appearance as a power forward for a few minutes.

Payton can single-handedly play Earl Watson with the ball, Howard can hold the ball and play with Nene to block and pick-and-roll, and the other two pull away and wait for opportunities to catch the ball, and Nene is tasked with covering and hitting the basket in the air.

The Grizzlies' rotation is also not fuel-efficient, and this season they have been called "bench bandits." Bunch Wells and Mike Dunleavy can shoot suddenly, Randolph continues to play with substitutes, and Gasol is rested separately to ensure that there is an interior axis on the court, and the interior plus Lorenzen White is also a three-person rotation.

The Grizzlies' second team is still flawed by point guards, and Watson is a non-characteristic role player who shared playing time with Williams this year, scoring 7.7 points and 4.5 assists in 22.6 minutes while shooting just 42.6% from the field.

The strength of the two teams in the rotation lineup is equal, the main force came back in the second half, the Grizzlies attacked vigorously under the leadership of Gasol, the peripheral rotation conversion was accelerated, and the players were more successful in sandwiching Guo Xu, and the point difference did not continue to expand.

In the third quarter, the Suns sent the twin towers, kept covering Guo Xu and hitting the basket in the air, and the Grizzlies couldn't stand it.

This season, people have discovered the terrible of Xiao Si, he can hit the basket with one step after receiving the ball, either dunk or shoot from close range, and it is difficult to be blocked. Gasol and Randolph are not known for defending the penalty area, and they can't limit him.

Xiao Si shot mostly in the restricted area, and the mid-range shot was misplaced or vacant, and the shooting rate was naturally very high, 56% in the regular season and 55% in the playoffs, and now the league is reluctant to defend him.

Guo Xu organized for a while, and in the last quarter, the Grizzlies began to shrink the formation to the penalty area in order to prevent Xiao Si, and Guo Xu began to hold the ball heads-up again, and the difference between the two teams reached a maximum of 26 points, locking the victory 5 minutes in advance.

Guo Xu played 7 minutes in the final quarter, shooting 5 of 7, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, easily scoring 15 points and 1 assist.

He played 37 minutes, scoring 34 points, 2 rebounds, 15 assists and 2 steals, and Xiao Si had 30 points and 12 rebounds, and all five Suns scored double-doubles.

The Grizzlies also had five players in double figures, with Randolph with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, and Gasol with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Suns got off to a good start in the second round 124-103......
