Chapter 857 [Three Points, Ten Consecutive Victories]
The rocket's offense was contained, as Yao Ming couldn't attract the bag today.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Gasol Jr. was recognized as a parallel commodity when he won the best defensive player, and he was only selected for the best defensive team once, and he was still a second team. However, defending against people around the box is indeed his forte, and it is better than Valejo.
The new Spanoolis was also restricted, and Guo Xu didn't get past him once in defense, letting him shoot from the middle and long distances. He didn't dare to vote, he wasn't sure.
Moreau is a better fit than Loops, who is 196cm tall and weighs 95kg, so he can interfere with shots better.
Nelson Sr.'s substitution helped the Suns, and by the time he realized it, the margin had widened to 16 points, digging a big hole that was difficult to climb out of.
The score was 39-20 in the first quarter, and the Suns took the lead. Guo Xu scored 20 points and 4 assists, hit 4 three-pointers, and only missed two shots.
The rotation lineup on both sides is luxurious, with the Rockets five: Alston, Spanoolris, James Posey, Karl Landry, and Magloyer.
Each of these players has their own characteristics and they have all proven their quality.
On one side of the Suns are Lowry, Green, Hill, Haslem and Millsap. Four swingmen of about two meters plus point guards make up the Death Five.
There were bench bandits on both sides, and the Suns had a slight upper hand. Millsap's cameo center had the advantage of pulling out beyond the three-point line, and the Suns extended the deficit to 22 points after five minutes.
In the summer, people thought that the Rockets had picked up a big bargain by signing Magloyer, but now he is useless, not only because of his declining offensive ability, but also because he is not active defensively. Millsapra went out to play, and he kept his distance near the box and put the opponent on the pitch, ready to get the rebound.
In addition to injuries, the rapid decline in the form of the talented centre-forward was caused by a violent incident in 2005. Margloyle's younger brother Justin was shot dead by the gangsters, and he has been in a state of confusion ever since, losing confidence and motivation to play on the court.
He was hell-bent on returning to Canada to spend time with his family, and in February 2007 he contacted the Toronto Raptors hoping to end his career in his hometown and was not interested in a summer move to another NBA team, but neither were the Raptors.
In the first seven games, Magloyer averaged 2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per game, and Nelson Sr. spent a lot of time playing Scola as a center.
The two sides successively changed the main force, and the Sun arranged the twin towers of Little Jordan and Xiao Si, so that Little Jordan, who did not play for a minute, was in full state to defend Yao Ming. Although he couldn't prevent Yao Ming's jump shot, his strength was enough to put Yao Ming outside the restricted area, and he could interfere with the shot as much as possible by his bounce power, and he was still a single defense.
The margin didn't widen, and the Suns ended the first half with a 21-point lead.
In the second half, the Suns who used the "wheel battle" showed their advantage in the second half, because Yao Ming had to go down and rest for a while, not because of foul trouble, but because of his lack of physical fitness.
Playing the Suns, Yao Ming is much more tired than the team that plays positional attack, and he has to run back and forth. When the guard runs without the ball, he also has to defend the block and dismantle, and if he doesn't go out at all, one of Guo Xu, Morrow, and Roy will catch the ball and shoot three points.
This made Yao Ming feel big, and the twin towers on the sun would occasionally come to cover with an elevator door, blocking the Rocket guard to death, and if the inside line didn't go out, the guard would get a vacant shot.
The Rockets let Scola play as a center, and the Suns let Xiao Si play center, and the three of them pulled away from the outside, Guo Xu and Xiao Si played blocking and dismantling the attack. All teams know how they're going to play, but it's just hard to defend, and it's a strengthened version of the Jazz's two old pick-and-rolls.
Xiao Si is more difficult to defend than last season, he is always outside the three-point line, Guo Xu broke through to attract the bag, he can cut in the air, can also catch the ball in the middle and shoot three-pointers. If the opponent doesn't contain Guo Xu, the Sun's tactics will also be played, and Guo Xu will get a heads-up opportunity on the weak side.
The Suns beat the Rockets 12-0 in a wave, widening the difference to 30 points, and Yao Ming didn't have to play anymore in the last quarter.
Yao Ming sat on the sidelines with a serious expression, and the cameraman gave him several close-ups.
CCTV5's Zhang Li sighed: "The first game against the Sun is like this, Yao Ming will definitely be very depressed, the two teams still won and lost each other last season, and now it has become the Sun to beat the defending champion Rocket." ”
Yu Jia said: "The Suns are a three-point team to restrain the Rockets, and so far this year, they have averaged a total of 87 shots per game, 45 of which are outside the three-point line, accounting for 51.7%, which is too high. ”
In the final quarter, Lowry and Green also threw three points, Moon and Haslem couldn't shoot, and center Jordan Jr. came up to brush up on rebounds.
Both sides practiced relatively iron, and Jordan Jr. benefited from this, scoring 2 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and a block. He played 17 minutes and scored 4 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks.
In the end, the Suns won the Rockets 139-102 by 37 points, and all six players on the team scored in double figures.
In the core competition between the two sides, Guo Xu played 30 minutes, 11 of 18 shots, 7 of 11 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 35 points and 11 assists. Yao Ming played 26 minutes, shooting 7-of-12 and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
Yao Ming wanted to prove that he could beat Guo Xu at the peak, but it turned out that Guo Xu was Yao Ming's nemesis when he was healthy, and he was also the nemesis of all high school forwards.
The Rockets didn't say much about the Suns in the post-game press conference, and the Suns didn't say anything like they could beat the Rockets in the playoffs, but it's clear that the Suns are closer to a championship than the Rockets.
Experts predict that the Suns will play a long winning streak, and their next schedule will be favorable, and most of the teams against them will be underdogs.
Sure enough, the Suns easily beat the King by 30 points, and Guo Xu played 26 minutes and scored 17 points and 17 assists.
Now it is easier for Guo Xu to find his form away from home, and his two girlfriends went to live in a villa in Los Angeles and left him behind.
Because D'Addario was also stared at by reporters because of his fame, the entertainment media exposed her going to live in Phoenix, and then she went to Los Angeles with Meghan, and the relationship between the three was a topic of conversation among fans after dinner.
The Kings only played three games before completing a big trade with the Nuggets. The Nuggets sent Allen Iverson for the Kings' Mike Bibby, Spencer Hawes, and fringe guard Will Solomon.
The Kings haven't won since the trade, Iverson and Kevin Martin have partnered on the outside, which is something that most coaches don't dare to arrange, and transitional coaches like Rejay Theus are completely broken.
Iverson's physical fitness continued to decline, and the defensive end was a black hole, Guo Xu singled him out easily, and this time saved him a little face, and the pass was the main thing.
He knows that this season is not surprising, Iverson's last glorious season, and with the support of the fans, he will be in this form for 80% next season without a ball to play.
After a day of rest, the Suns returned home to play the Pistons in another easy victory.
Guo Xu hung the Pistons' outside cornerstone Starkey, and he could live as he wanted, cutting a big double-double of 20 points and 21 assists. The double Wallace combination is old, and the strength of both offensive and defensive ends has dropped a lot.
The results of Ben Wallace and Gasol Jr. were shocking, Gasol Jr. relied on his height again and again, and his shooting touch was also good, playing 30 minutes with 6 of 9 shots, 9 of 11 free throws, and 21 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Gasol Jr. scored and rebounded a new career high, although it was related to Guo Xu seeing the opportunity to pass the ball to him, but the gap on the inside was too obvious, and the salaries of the two should be reversed.
Big Ben played 28 minutes, shooting 1-of-2 from the field and 1-of-6 from the free-throw line, finishing with 3 points and 7 rebounds, and he has become a well-known high-paid imbecile player in the league.
The Suns beat the Pistons 111-93 to start a 10-game winning streak......
