Chapter 447 [Not a Good Idea, My Hands Are Hot Again]
The other two games that opened first have come to an end.
The Magic defeated the Cavaliers 113-101 in overtime for their eighth win of the season.
Maddy played 50 minutes, shooting 15-of-29, 5-of-9 from three-point range and 6-of-9 from the free-throw line, finishing with 41 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals, beating James' 34 points and 6 assists.
Maddie is a player who broke out as soon as he played the Christmas war, but he was robbed of the limelight by Guo Xu, the Suns' overtime has not yet started, Guo Xu scored more points than Maddie, and Guo Xu played against the Lakers in the Christmas game last season, and also cut super data.
The Rockets, who lost streak in the West, finally stopped their decline and defeated the Lakers 99-87 on the road.
Malone played only 6 minutes before being injured, Medvidenko got 23 minutes of playing time, the Lakers' defense became very poor, the Rockets' three outside players played well, and Yao Ming also got 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Bryant played erratically, shooting 9-of-26, 1-of-2 from three-point range and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 23 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
O'Neal shot 5-of-12 from the field and 12-of-18 from the free-throw line to finish with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.
Another group of people on the Internet frantically boasted that Cato, who played 34 minutes and scored 5 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, said that his role is not reflected in the data, because he is responsible for fighting O'Neal and protecting Yao Ming.
In fact, it is much more comfortable for Yao Ming to defend against O'Neill and defend near the penalty area. If it weren't for a crazy person who played iron alone, and Payton didn't have the ball, the Lakers might not have lost if they played more blocking and pick-and-rolling.
"Zen Master" Jackson has become a Buddha this season, no matter whether the players on the court cooperate or not, whether the shooting feels or not, he does not call a timeout, and let the players adjust on the court at will.
Many Lakers fans left the game early in the final quarter, which was something they had never done before, which was no longer their favorite, the Lakers who had a super strong offense and often broke down their opponents in the third quarter. Even if they win games, the Lakers often play with the weak team to the end, relying on the star to play alone, and the key shots with a low shooting percentage are narrowly won, where do the strong teams get so many key shots?
Chinese fans have begun to pay attention to the Suns' games, and after the 5 leaders saw the ratings, they also began to consider broadcasting more Suns games in the future.
During the timeout, D'Antoni continued his small-ball tactics, with the big man only sending on one Nene to defend the box.
Xiao Si had 18 points and 8 rebounds today, and his offensive performance was good, but the defensive end was too poor, and he couldn't defend Nowitzki with 5 fouls on his back, and he was also prone to being blocked and dismantled.
Nene only played 20 minutes and was full of energy, helping the team at both ends of the pitch, the other four being Haslem, Marion, Ragabel and Guo Xu.
The Suns' tactics are very simple, that is, to hand over to Guo Xu to play, and the others to defend solidly.
"Nene pays attention to Jason's off-ball cover and helps him get rid of the ball, Jason can also take the ball directly through the half court and play alone, you have unlimited shots, whether to break through or shoot is up to you."
This is exactly what Guo Xu wants, the Mavericks stubbornly chased into overtime, but they rotated few players, and the starting five consumed a lot of physical strength, and they were almost unbearable.
Today, the Mavericks' core Nowitzki played a full 48 minutes of regulation time, and Nelson Sr. saw Nowitzki have a chance to lead a game-changer in basketball at the time of that year's draft. This kind of big man who can shoot is good, but the Mavericks rely too much on it.
Finley played 38 minutes, Walker 37 minutes, Jamison and Nash 35 minutes, and the Mavericks relied on five starts.
The Suns only played Guo Xu for more than 35 minutes, and he had a little rest in the second and final quarters, and he still had a lot of energy for 38 minutes, much easier than Nowitzki, and the coaching staff was ready to let him play the full overtime.
The game continued, with the Suns attacking first.
Guo Xu controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and his teammates all pulled away, covering inside and outside the three-point line to block Nash.
Guo Xu pulled away from the weak side with the ball, Nowitzki blocked it and made it impossible for him to shoot three points easily, and then chased back Nene who cut into the air.
Nene went to the left side of the low post to attract the defense, and the player on the right side of the Mavericks wanted to wrap Guo Xu on Finley in the bottom corner, at the cost of emptying Bell with range. The Mavericks didn't dare to do that, and Bell had already hit three three-pointers.
Guo Xu's 50-degree frame took a small step to the right, dribbled the ball to his left hand behind his right hand, and then stepped back with his left foot to shoot and scored. 113 to 111.
Nash barely jumped, just reached out to interfere, and Guo Xu didn't feel the pressure when he made a move.
The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki received the ball and faced Nene at this time, and at this time it was to fight the individual ability of the star, and Nelson Sr. thought he was the most sure offensive point.
Nowitzki shook and turned to the middle, missed the shot with a heavy interference, and Marion grabbed the rebound.
Smith commented: "Nelson Sr. wanted to win Jason's team so much, he let the main players play for a long time, as if it was a playoff game, and now that the Suns have strengthened their defense, it is not a good idea to play Nene alone." ”
Barkley smiled: "Finley has had a poor season this season, the Mavericks can only choose Nowitzki and Jamison in singles, and Nash will not have a good result in single-handedly playing Jason." ”
Larry Drew, an assistant coach who focuses on defense, suggested to D'Antoni that Joe Johnson, who can play with the ball and has a good touch in the final quarter, rest him, reuse Bale, and let Marion lead the small forward. It was a key change, and today Joe Johnson suffered on the defensive end against Jamison.
Now under Marion's entanglement, Jamison is not easy to catch the ball.
The Suns attacked, playing the same tactics as just now, Guo Xu led the half court and the interior block and dismantling to the weak side, the inner air cut attracted Nowitzki to retreat, and Guo Xu pulled away on the weak side to pick up Nash.
He first dribbled the ball under his crotch to the right side, Nash followed, Guo Xu protected the ball with his back against Nash, turned around and retreated to the middle of the jumper, relying on speed to open a distance of one meter, and the ball hollowed into the net.
115 to 111, 61st personal points.
Guo Xu's data was displayed on the big screen of the stadium, and the Suns fans applauded vigorously, and everyone wanted to know how many times he could play 60+ in a single season.
Barkley said: "If the Suns go on like this, Jason is very sure that he will play Nash alone. ”
Smith said: "In the last quarter, the Mavericks encountered a pick-and-roll inside to keep a distance, and it happened to be stuck in a position where Jason was more uncomfortable to shoot a three-pointer, and now he is looking for cover and waiting for the big man to go and then shoot single-handedly, and the Mavericks can't help it." ”
In heads-up, the most offensive way must be mid-range shooting, Guo Xu, Bibby and Wade are used to playing singles, and there are no dead ends in shooting. The three-point defense also has a way to play.
When playing the Kings, Bibby's interference shooting ability was very poor, averaging 0.1 blocks per game in his career, and the same bad guard was Nash, who couldn't block a few times throughout the season, and he was worse than Bibby's bounce. Nash's height of 191CM is also a false report, he is actually up to 187CM, which is not much taller than Guo Xu, and his arm span is not outstanding.
Even Nash's strongest speed is a little slower than Guo Xu's, Guo Xu has been able to crush his talent this season.
The Mavericks pass and cooperate, Nash wants to return one, runs without the ball and catches the ball for a three-point iron. Haslem switched defenses very quickly, successfully interfering with shots, and the rebound was grabbed by Marion, who launched a counterattack with a pass.
Guo Xu caught the ball on the fast break and got the opportunity to single out Nash, forced a breakthrough, and relied on Nash's right side to score the basketball.
117 to 111, 63rd personal point.
Nash's defense is already very active, but he is trapped by physical conditions, he can't cover the opponent's layup, but it's useless to follow, he is not good at card positions, giving Guo Xu plenty of room to jump.
Old Nelson stood on the sidelines and pinched his waist to watch the game, feeling a little bad, Guo Xu's hands were warm again.
