Chapter 856 [Successful Transformation, Wave Opening]
The sun attacked, Guo Xu ran to the bottom right corner, Morrow went to the bottom left corner, and the formation was stretched.
Xiao Si gave Guo Xu an off-ball cover on the right side, helping him get rid of Billups and run to 70 degrees to receive Roy's pass. Scola switched defenses and didn't let Guo Xu get an easy shot on the periphery.
Guo Xu dribbled to the middle to attract the Scola defense, and he had to follow, otherwise Guo Xu would rush up. Billups didn't chase the defense, trying his best to go around the front air defense cut Xiao Si, he thought that Guo Xu had a good chance of passing the ball and letting Xiao Si hit him in the wrong position.
This was a misalignment, but Guo Xu did not pass the ball to Xiao Si, but half-turned and quickly transferred the ball to the left periphery with both hands. Gasol Jr. made an off-ball cover for Moro on this side to block Afflalo, and Yao Ming did not switch defenses.
Yao Ming is limited by speed and can't become a top defensive player, he doesn't dare to defend too far, being passed is a trivial matter, once the guard deliberately makes a foul and makes him fall into foul trouble, the Rocket's game will not be easy to play.
Afflaro chased the defense with all his might, but Gasol Jr. was too wide to get around, and was blocked for a second, Moro received the ball and shot comfortably, hitting three points at 70 degrees. 5 to 0.
Jackson shouted, "Three-pointers! Lost rookie Morrow has been too consistent, shooting 50% from three-point range since the start of the season, ranking first in the league for the time being, making 2.2 three-pointers per game, and most of his shots are from beyond the three-point line. ”
"That's the kind of player the Suns need, Jason draws the defense and passes to his teammates at the right time, they just need to make sure they shoot from the field," Van Gundy said. ”
Jackson lamented: "Sometimes it's just about which team has the best individual ability. ”
Rocket offense, Scola covered Billups outside the three-point line, Billups moved sideways to the right side to grab a three-point shot, Guo Xu bypassed a little slower, it was not easy to interfere, Xiao Si didn't defend it, and the ball went in. 5 to 3.
Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt, and played the same way as the Rockets, Xiao Si pulled to the outside of the three-point line to block and dismantle, and Billups was blocked.
Heavy defenders are most afraid of this, Guo Xu changed his speed to the right side, and Scola was a little slower to change the defense and was passed. He hit inside the three-point line and made a pull-up jump shot from the horn position. 7 to 3.
Yao Ming followed Gasol Jr. and did not make up for the penalty area, and Billups failed to catch up. Guo Xu didn't practice at home in order to play this game, and his physical fitness was obviously superior on the outside.
The Rockets attacked, Billups took the ball to the right side and hung it to Yao Ming by his height advantage, Yao Ming leaned on Gasol Jr. with his back, turned around and jumped to the bottom line. 7 to 5.
Yao Ming's move is accepted by everyone, even the inside star can only explode with him, and few people can beat him.
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu took to the middle and let his teammates pull away, not to cover Billups. The Suns players all gathered near the baseline, with only Roy 60 degrees on the left.
If Prince comes to wrap up, Guo Xu will share the ball and Roy will have an easy chance to shoot, and if he doesn't shoot, he will break through the penalty area and the big man will cover him. Gasol Jr. is not far away, just take two steps out from the low post.
The Suns' routine is very simple, the purpose is to help the star create heads-up opportunities, Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the left hand under the crotch, changed the direction to the right and dribbled, and Billups moved sideways to follow.
Guo Xu's right hand dribbled behind his left hand and withdrew one meter outside the three-point line, Billups hurriedly braked and took a step forward to prepare to interfere with the shot, but Guo Xu's action was not finished, and the left hand once again dribbled the ball under the crotch to the right hand, changing direction to the right.
Billups couldn't keep up this time, and if he forced his center of gravity to shift sideways, he would probably be shaken down.
Guo Xu jumped the ball at a 70-degree stop on the right side, the ball went into the net hollow, and Scola pounced to interfere and took a step too slow. 10 to 5.
The fans cheered together, Guo Xu had such a goal every game, left and right, and he had a chance to make a shot after trying to change direction a few times.
Billups was a little depressed, the last guard he wanted to play against was Guo Xu, who was too torturous and would rather defend the tall quarterback.
This year, the U.S. Basketball Association also sent an invitation to Billups to participate in the Olympic training team, but he refused. As soon as he thought that Guo Xu would go, he felt that he had no place to go.
The Rockets attacked, Billups and Scola blocked and dismantled again, this time Xiao Si changed the defense positively, blocked it two steps away, Billups did not make a strong shot, knowing that Xiao Si was fast, and rushing out could play a role in interference.
Guo Xu chased the defense in place, Billups gave the ball to the middle of the road Scola, Xiao Si immediately moved sideways to keep up with his main defender, and when he was not available, Scola dribbled a step to Yao Ming, who ran to the left side.
Yao Ming received the ball and leaned on Gasol Jr. to turn around and hook his hand in the middle, a little far from the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Prince, forcing Roy to score on the second offensive board. 10 to 7.
D'Antoni didn't care about conceding points and gave Gasol Jr. two applause on the sidelines, thinking he defended well.
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu played alone in the middle again, and Prince came up to help defend. Guo Xu changed direction and took a step to find a vacant ball to Roy, Prince turned his head and chased after Roy without thinking, but it was still too late.
Roy didn't stand on the outside to catch the ball and shoot, but chose to break through, Gasol Jr. moved sideways to block Prince, Roy changed direction and passed Yao Ming, and scored under the basket for the basket. 12 to 7.
If it was Roy last season, this ball might have chosen to dunk, he got rid of Yao Ming for a distance, and the speed advantage was difficult for the opponent to block from behind. The Suns coaching staff successfully transformed Roy into a floor stream, and he also "made a civilian layup" with no one in front of him.
Guo Xu applauded Roy when he returned to defense, and was very satisfied with his choice.
Compared with his previous life, which mainly relied on breakthroughs, Roy's strength is not inferior. It's all two points, so playing with rhythm and brain is the most suitable for him, if he can still grind the meniscus and retire early, it will definitely be a god of decay.
The Rockets attacked, passed a few times and were not available, but they could only be singled out by the stars. The Suns sent the twin towers to block the restricted area, and Alston and Spanoulis, who the Rockets are good at breaking through, did not go on and couldn't break through the ball.
Billups missed a shot in the face of Guo Xu's emergency stop, and Gasolka Jr. helped Xiao Si get the rebound. Scola's rush to the front court rebounded and failed, and something bad happened.
Don't look at Scola not running fast and jumping high, grabbing the frontcourt rebounding is very active, last season and this season have averaged more than 2 per game, the disadvantage is that the speed of defense is not fast enough when he can't grab the ball.
As soon as Xiao Si passed to Guo Xu, Billups rarely gambled and stealed, and he didn't dare to get too close to him, so he could only retreat and try to keep his distance to follow. Guo Xu slowed down two meters outside the three-point line in the middle and suddenly grabbed three points.
He had been in a slump in scoring for a number of games and was in great form today, with the ball curling high and hollow into the net. Billups didn't have time to jump, so he could only interfere slightly. 15 to 7.
Old Nelson asked for a timeout, Guo Xu had already scored 10 points in the first quarter of only half of the time, he didn't want to see Guo Xu have a 20+ performance in a single quarter, and the Suns had never lost that kind of game.
The Rockets made substitution adjustments, and Spanoulis replaced Prince on the top, adding an offensive point with the ball, in order to strengthen the offense, and the defensive end can also speed up, and the height and confrontation of the Suns on the outside are also not at a loss.
This substitution became a mistake, because the old Nelson asked Spann to defend Guo Xu, and the mentality of the Greek players in the summer Olympics collapsed.
Thinking too much in his heart, Spann will hesitate when defending, and as soon as he hesitates, the defensive choice will be half a beat slower, and he will completely fall into Guo Xu's playing rhythm.
Guo Xu first broke through the ball to assist Gasol Jr. to score a mid-range shot, and then singled out Span to score three points in two counterattacks, and the difference widened in a wave......
