David Lee pulled a foul into a dead ball, and Guo Xu came on in the fourth minute because the substitute player did not control the rhythm well.

Blake plays solidly, has a solid three-point shot, and works hard defensively. But his shortcomings are obvious, and he can't drive the whole team.

After joining the Suns, Blake was groomed to be a point guard like Fisher, passing the ball in the half-court, rarely breaking through with the ball, and looking for opportunities to catch and shoot three-pointers from beyond the three-point line.

When the team's second-leading scorer, Josh Howard, doesn't feel good and needs someone else to step up and score, things don't look good for the Suns. David Lee and Ariza both have to practice, and they are far from their peak.

Therefore, no one will feel unreasonable about how many balls Guo Xu throws now, if it is a pseudo-fan, he doesn't know the rest of the Suns at all.

Guo Xu played as soon as he came out, relying on David Lee's cover to catch the ball, forced a breakthrough in the face of the bag, pulled the ball up when he was about to hit Thomas, turned around with great strides, and threw the ball in the middle. 39 to 41.

This kind of flying throwing is very difficult, but as long as the shot is fast enough, the opponent can't block it at all, and the inside line doesn't have time to make up for it.

Guo Xu rarely fought like this before the cycle, but now he has also practiced throwing into a conventional weapon, because this move is easy to dodge the bag clamp and block, and his shooting action is not very standard, and he throws it when there is space.

The characteristic of this style of play is that there are no people who have a similar shooting rate on defense, that is, the feeling of betting, and the opponent can only pray that he will not score. Guo Xu knows that this is much lower than catching and shooting, and the shooting rate of singles with the ball is much lower, but he is confident that he will be more accurate than Iverson and Kobe.

During the cycle, Guo Xu's throwing rate was stable at more than 40%.

If anyone thinks he is iron, it's because he used to be too accurate. Like Alan Houston and Hamilton's 45% shooting rate on two-point shooting can be called the "mid-range shooting king", and Kobe Bryant's 45% shooting rate can be toured, what is his concern?

Guo Xu and Raja Bell returned to the court, the Suns' fast-break defense became stronger, the Knicks still played fast-break, Salim broke through the layup and missed under Bell's interference, and David Lee grabbed the rebound.

David Lee is not just a colander, he is now better at controlling rebounds than Stoudamire and None, and has good vision, can quickly find teammates, and launch counterattacks with a pass.

Blake received the ball and passed it to Guo Xu, Guo Xu took it to the front court, and before the bag came up, he rushed to shoot three points against Spedy on the left side, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

The offense wasn't over yet, and the Suns' physical advantage came into play, and Ariza rushed to grab the rebound in the frontcourt and immediately split it again. The Knicks' three-guard defense is fast enough to protect rebounds.

Guo Xu ran to the bottom left corner to catch the ball and shook it away, shook Spidy away, and dribbled to a 45-degree jumper and hit a three-point shot. The other two defenders were drawn away and failed to make up for it.

42-41, Guo Xu's personal 35th point.

The Knicks attacked, Spetti blocked and forced a breakthrough past David Lee, and when he made a layup on the left side, Guo Xu caught up with the pegboard cap from behind, and the ball rebounded into the hands of David Lee.

As soon as he landed, Guo Xu immediately turned around to participate in the fast attack, Blake passed the ball to him after half court, and Spedy just made a layup and rushed out of the bottom line, and the defense was slow.

Blake, Ariza, and Haslem followed quickly, and Guo Xu grabbed a shot outside the three-point line in the middle and hit Salim with a three-point shot. 45 to 41.

SALIM, WHO IS 185CM TALL, IS JUST A SECOND-ROUND ROOKIE WITH LITTLE EXPERIENCE AND CAN'T SEE THE SITUATION CLEARLY. He retreated a little back, afraid of being passed by Guo Xu, and formed 4 to 2 in the front court, but he forgot how much Guo Xu likes to shoot three points.

During the official timeout, Zhang Li sighed: "Guo Xu scored the 8th three-pointer in this game, scored 38 points, and didn't finish the first half." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "It's only halfway through the second quarter, and he may score 50+ in the first half. ”

"His scoring ability can really be compared to Michael Jordan, and if it weren't for the organization, he could have won a lot of scoring titles," Zhang said. ”

After the timeout, Coach Thomas made a wrong adjustment, replacing Kurt Thomas with Curry.

If Larry Brown is the Knicks coach, it will not be easy for Guo Xu to score high scores, because Brown will do everything he can to strengthen the defense, even if it is a group of people who can't defend.

Brown doesn't look down on people like Curry, who averaged only 25.9 minutes per game that season he coached, and that's under the premise of a serious shortage of people on the inside. That's when Kurt Thomas went to the Suns, and David Lee was a rookie that Brown hated.

Assassin Thomas is an offensive coach, and after he became the Knicks coach, Curry increased his playing time to a career-high 35.2 minutes, brushing up a peak of 19.5 points and 7 rebounds.

Thomas is well aware of Curry's flaws on the defensive end, but he wants him to play more and use his offensive ability to help the team win. More importantly, he wanted to prove that his trade with the Bulls was right, at least not too badly.

The Suns replaced Vallejo and David Lee to form the twin towers to create opportunities for Guo Xu, and the two are more suitable for covering, and Haslem has a better defense but can't stop people.

The Knicks attacked, and Thomas's tactics were to play a pick-and-roll on David Lee's side, with Frye and Curry covering in two, and then cutting to the basket in the air, or they let the guard misplace and break through, pull away and stand and wait for the pass to shoot.

David Lee's defense and dismantling leaked again, his sense of changing defenses was too bad, so he followed the big man and didn't know the guard at all, and Marbury made an easy layup. 45 to 43.

The Suns attacked, and the two interior lines began to make double covers for Guo Xu, Guo Xu first ran from the bottom right corner to the left, and then ran to the middle, and his teammates closed the door one by one, blocking the chasing Spedy and Green.

The off-ball bag is a technical job, and the Knicks also have a lot of newcomers this season, and they don't cooperate tacitly. Guo Xu didn't waste the opportunity to catch the ball in the middle, stepped out of the three-point line in one step, turned around and hit a three-point jumper, and did it in one go.

48-43, 41st personal score.

Many home fans gave Guo Xu a round of applause, his scoring performance was too crazy, the ninth three points.

Spetti and Curry played a pick-and-roll in the middle, misplaced David Lee and scored an easy layup. 48 to 45.

This loophole can be closed as long as Haslem goes to Haslem, and D'Antoni will not make substitutions, just to help Guo Xu get better data.

Guo Xu relied on double cover to catch the ball smoothly, and Marbury on the side let go of Payton to block. Guo Xu reacted quickly, and after shaking the ball, he changed to pass, and Spetti also chased after him. He burst to the right with the ball and went to the weak side, and Green let go of the bottom corner Bell and Spedy to form a trap again.

Guo Xu split the ball, Bell made an easy shot, and hit a three-point shot.

51-43, Guo Xu's second assist. Playing like this will make the Knicks very uncomfortable, but Guo Xu is also uncomfortable.

The Suns' defense wasn't always porous, too, with four retracting to block the box, and Spedy was also caught up in the pack after a pick-and-roll, and the ball was distributed to Frye, whose open mid-range shot deflected wide of the basket.

David Lee grabbed the rebound and passed, Guo Xu got a chance to counterattack and singled out Marbury.

Guo Xu did not slow down and forced the center of gravity to pull the ball near the penalty area, made a European step, took a step to the right first, and at the same time wrapped the ball around the left hand behind his right hand and took another step to the left.

Marbury did not gamble to steal and follow the defense on the side, and the two were at a disadvantage against Marbury physically, Guo Xu jumped up against him, and made a left-handed backhand layup.

Marbury saw that he couldn't jump up and chose to pull someone to foul, but the referee blew the whistle, Guo Xu still threw the ball out, and the board fell into the basket.

Guo Xu also hit a free throw, 54-43.

The atmosphere in Madison Square Garden began to change, and the applause became more and more, and everyone saw that Guo Xu was unstoppable.
