Before the start of Game 3, Artest turned on the provocative mode, saying that the Lakers would beat the Suns at home.

Guo Xu scored 47 points on the court to make Atai angry, if the main attack on the opposite side is the swingman, he will go on, but his speed can't prevent the point guard, there is no way, he can only use a big mouth to vent his grievances.

On the offensive end, Artay was unbalanced, scoring only 11 points on 4-of-16 shooting. What's even more frustrating is that he put himself above the team, and he tried to go head-to-head with Roy, which led to the collapse of the team's offensive system in the final quarter.

Atai felt that it was difficult for Kobe Bryant to single-handedly take on the Suns' defensive experts, and it was easier for him to play Roy, and there was more reason for him to shoot more. He may be right, but he overestimated his own ability, and when he was a Pacer, he often thought that his ability was better than O'Neal Jr., and he was the boss of the Pacers.

After Artey's speech, Kobe Bryant felt very upset. The boss of the Lakers is Kobe Bryant, provoking the opponent and driving the whole team to get Atay's turn?

The Suns were also interviewed by reporters after training in the morning. Guo Xu did not fight back against Artest, but admitted his opponent, which surprised the Los Angeles reporter.

"The Lakers do have a chance to beat the Suns, they have a strong roster, and if they can work together and work together, I think it's normal to win one or two games in the series. In my opinion, the Lakers have five stars, Bogut, Odom, and Ellis are all very strong, especially Ellis, who gives him the ball is a guard who averages 20+5 per game, and I am sure of this. ”

The reporter was shocked. "You're so optimistic about Ellis?"

"I've been bullishing him since last season, he's very physical, he's very good on the dribble, but he's inexperienced and needs to work his shots. I wouldn't be surprised that he's averaging 25 points per game if he does those two things right, but of course, he's going to have to play smarter. ”

Guo Ai said that Ellis will become a 20+5 star is not a fool, his personal ability is really strong, strong in attack and weak in defense. However, he has to have a suitable tactical system, and when he arrives in the Suns, he can only develop in the direction of the sixth man, which is not suitable for starting with Guo Xu, because then he has to play the No. 2 position and sacrifice the team's defense.

The most suitable team for Ellis is probably the Nuggets, George Karl doesn't care about defense at all, and 191CM is too normal to be a point guard.

The reporter asked: "What do you think of Bogut?" ”

"His template for the draft was Duncan, and isn't it a matter of course to have the potential to become a star? I think sooner or later he's going to turn into a double-double. ”

The reporter asked: "If the Lakers have a strong lineup, why can't they beat the Suns?" Don't you think the Suns have a stronger lineup? ”

"The Suns certainly have a stronger lineup." Guo Xu smiled: "And I like to study the opponent's lineup and decide how to play according to the characteristics of the players." After a lot of research, I sometimes think about how I would help them play their best if I were their teammates, and I think this is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles. ”

The reporter asked: "You once said that Roy's template is Kobe, and now many fans think so, but he said that he hopes he is the Pippen of the Suns, what do you think?" ”

Guo Xu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I think his statement must be corrected, he can use anyone as a template, just don't choose Pippen, isn't this a curse for himself?" He doesn't know what Pippen has been all about lately? ”

“……”

Pippen often blackmails Guo Xu Everyone knows that Guo Xu is not polite to this celebrity, this person is really a failure.

His good partner Jordan's various investments plus Nike's share are now worth nearly $1 billion, but Pippen has gone bankrupt due to various investment failures, and there is news that the 42-year-old is planning to return to play in a foreign low-level professional league to make money.

Roy's previous life ended very miserably, and Guo Xu didn't want this honest new teammate to go down that old path. In addition, Guo Xu said this to change the topic. Roy wants to be Pippen, what will Xiao Si and Marion think in their hearts? Did he want to grab the power and be the second leader before his rookie season was over?

That night, the game was played on time at the Staples Center.

When the players played, the home fans cheered for the Lakers, hoping that they could win against the Suns and not be swept away.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Zhang Li said: "Guo Xu affirmed the strength of the Lakers in an interview, and he was not booed when he played, I didn't expect that his most optimistic player turned out to be Monta Ellis on the bench." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "I feel that Guo Xu is in the black Kobe, Easley only averaged about 10 points per game in the Lakers, but Guo Xu said that he has the ability to score 20 points, implying that there are some Kobe Bryant's teammates." ”

Zhang Li smiled: "Whether he is a black Kobe Bryant will be known next season, the Lakers have no salary space, and it is difficult to renew Ellis." If Ellis wants more balls, it is impossible for him to choose to take a pay cut and renew his contract to stay with the Lakers. ”

The two sides started their debut, and the Suns had five: Guo Xu, Bale, Roy, Marion, and Stoudmaire.

Lakers five: Ellis, Kobe, Artest, Odom, Bogut.

The other two were sluggish in possession, and "Zen Master" Jackson could only reuse Ellis and let him start in the No. 1 position. Although he can only run back and forth when he starts, it is difficult for him to have a chance to attack with the ball, and he can only occasionally play a counter-attack.

Ellis is full of energy, it's a bit wasteful to be a substitute, and as long as he doesn't get into garbage time, Kobe Bryant plays an average of more than 40 minutes per game, and the two can't stagger their playing time.

If these people were in their prime, this series could be said to be an All-Star Game. Guo Xu praised the role players of the Lakers in an interview because he knew their potential, and when they left the Lakers in the future, he would be able to attract attention with his predictions.

Kobe Bryant glared at Guo Xu fiercely, he already knew the content of the pre-game interview, and felt that Guo Xu was sarcastic about him leading the team. He thinks that Guo Xu is doing whatever it takes to win and wants to sow discord between him and his teammates.

If Kobe Bryant had spoken his mind, many on the Lakers would have scoffed.

Do you still need to provoke your relationship with your teammates? You don't talk to your teammates much in the locker room.

Bogut jumped the ball to win, and the Lakers attacked first. Easley took the ball to the frontcourt, and Guo Xu let go of his favored person two steps away to prevent a breakthrough and not prevent shooting, knowing that he was unreliable to shoot three points now.

Ellis gave the ball to Kobe Bryant according to the coach's arrangement, and Bale immediately defended closely.

Bryant dribbled the ball horizontally and hit the ground and passed to Bogut who was in a 45-degree position on the right side. This is the arrangement of "Zen Master" Jackson, who thinks that Bogut has an advantage in playing Xiaosi, and asks Kobe to pass the ball more and wait for Vallejo to play before playing himself. Artest is in the bottom right corner, and the trio forms a triangle.

Bogut is indeed physically stronger than Xiao Si, and he also has excellent low-post footwork, and he hit the bottom line twice and turned around to hit the board and hit the shot. 0 to 2.

The Sun attacked, Guo Xu took the ball to the frontcourt, his teammates all pulled away, and Artest let go of Roy to wrap Guo Xu.

In the last game, the Lakers were scared by Guo Xutou, several guards couldn't defend alone, and Ellis, who was strong in attack and weak in defense, would definitely be unlucky.

Guo Xu took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball to Roy, who attracted Odom to make up for the left corner and passed the ball to the left baseline, Bogut made up for it, Marion dribbled a step and passed the high ball, and Xiao Si dunked the basketball with both hands. 2 to 2.

Guo Xu is destined to be free, and Sun's record-breaking record is not just because of the star's individual singles ability. They have been selfless this season, with no one to play the stats and will move the ball quickly to create chances for their team-mates.

If there is no unique player in the team, the offense will become very fluid, and more players will blossom is the king to win.
