Chapter 107 [Four O'clock Los Angeles, Beautiful Posture]

The Rockets also made a change, with veteran Olajuwon coming off the break and bringing on Jason Coral for him. Outside lineman Walter Williams rested and replaced him with Catino Mobley.

The game continued, Guo Xu took the ball just after half the court, Francis stepped forward to press, and he relied on the width of the court to protect the basketball and other covers.

Grantra took a step outside the three-point line to block Francis, Guo Xu moved sideways to get rid of it, and made a one-step stop-and-go jumper, Coral was not far away, but the change of defense was too slow, and the ball went in! 19 to 23.

Guo Xu got up early for three consecutive days to practice outside shooting, and he had to rely on practice to adjust his state, and he got up at four o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday.

Do you know what Los Angeles looks like at four in the morning?

Guo Xu shivered and froze back before he walked out of the community, shrunk the quilt to make up for more than 7 o'clock, and then went out after breakfast.

The Rockets attacked, with Francis and Thomas blocking and picking up in the middle.

THOMAS, A SHORT POWER FORWARD WITH A HEIGHT OF 201CM AND A WEIGHT OF 118 KILOGRAMS, WAS SELECTED BY THE ROCKETS IN 1999 AT No. 22 IN THE FIRST ROUND. He didn't misrepresent his height, he was extremely stocky, had good rebounding ability, and on the offensive end he had a steady mid-range shot and occasionally made three-pointers.

The 201CM player cover is relatively easy to bypass, Guo Xu judged accurately, and retreated without waiting for Thomas to come up, blocked Francis inside the three-point line, and successfully got close.

After losing the game, Guo Xu carefully studied Francis's information, recalled the game he played with Yao Ming in his previous life, and formulated a way to deal with it. It is necessary to strictly guard against the breakthrough, and never let Francisey raise the speed, once he rushes up, it will be difficult for the underweight Guo Xu to resist, so that Francis's emergency stop-and-go jump shot is not terrible, his mid-range shooting and three-point shooting are unstable.

Francis leaned his back against Guo Xu, Guo Xu used his boxing pace and covered his left elbow with a hidden frame. Francis turned to the right, and Guo Xu followed the trend, keeping the interference in front of him.

Francis stepped back for a jumper, Guo Xu jumped up and tried to reach out to seal his eyes, and this 50-degree shot from the right side missed the basket.

It's a pity that the ball arc is flat and bounces far, Jason Coral relied on his height advantage to grab the rebound in the front court, and wanted to grab the shot, but was pulled by Fox.

Coral made one of two free throws to make it 19-24.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu waited outside the three-point line to cover, and saw that Fox on the right side gave Kobe Bryant a no-ball cover, and Kobe Bryant cut to the inside. Coral followed Grant to stand relatively outside, the Rockets were empty inside, Guo Xu made a ground pass to find Kobe, who took three steps and relied on speed to get rid of Thomas's one-handed dunk and score.

21-24, Guo Xu had the first assist.

The Rockets attacked, Francis couldn't get rid of Guo Xu's entanglement after blocking and dismantling, he protected the basketball with his back, dribbled and passed to Mobley in the running position, who couldn't shoot under Kobe's interference, and Grant grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and passed it to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu observed the situation and stabilized his rhythm. Jackson said that he could break fast, but the Rockets, except for Coral Korrell, had four other players who were quick to retreat, and there was no numerical advantage in launching a fast break.

Grant slowly ran across the half court and blocked Francis in front of the three-point line. The "Cobras" cover is not so easy to get around, he is in his 14th year in the NBA, and the timing of the cover is perfect, and he will block people with small movements.

Theoretically, a screen is a legal action by a player to delay or prevent an opponent from reaching the position he wants to reach without causing inappropriate physical contact. The NBA has never said that it is a foul to move to cover it, and the interior player can move when blocking and dismantling, and as long as the player is very straight, he is rarely whistled for a foul if he has no extra movement on his hand.

Guo Xu broke through on the right side after getting rid of Francis, his center of gravity dropped very low, and he passed Coral in one step by relying on speed.

Thomas's main defense Fox is very far away, no one under the basket to make up for the defense, Guo Xu jumped up with one hand to hold the ball, and when the height of the ball was almost to the basket, he followed with the other hand to hold the ball, and dunked the basketball with both hands! 23-24, personal 5th point.

His speed is fast, his inertia is great, and he grabbed the basket with both hands and went around in half a circle to offset the momentum.

As soon as Guo Xu landed, bursts of warm applause and cheers erupted in the audience.

Los Angeles Sports Channel commentator Joe McDonnell exclaimed, "I can't believe Jason Kwok actually staged a breakaway dunk!" His movements are very similar to Iverson, very elegant. ”

Partner Charlie Parlesley was also surprised: "Jason's body side data has not been released to the public, judging from his performance in these games, his physical fitness is definitely not bad, and this dunk should be selected as the top five." ”

In front of the TV, Megan Fox was dumbfounded, something bad was wrong.

Before she said that Guo Xu was not beautiful in playing and couldn't dunk, Guo Xu made a bet with her, saying that if she succeeded in dunking in the game, the two would go to the "Tianfu House" in Los Angeles to eat Sichuan food together, and she had to eat more.

Meghan can't deny that this goal posture is picturesque, but she is afraid of spicy, and this is to make her die.

The Rockets attacked, Francis and Thomas played blocking and dismantling outside the three-point line, Fox and Guo Xu wrapped around Francis together, forcing the latter to share the ball, Thomas was empty in the middle, aimed at a jumper and missed the basket for three points.

Thomas shot only 32 of 122 three-pointers last season while shooting 26.2 percent, which is really not a big deal.

Grant took the rebound in the backcourt and passed it to Guo Xu, Guo Xu slowly brought it to the frontcourt, just behind Grant's ass, Grant didn't turn around, Guo Xu put one hand on his back, like pushing him away.

Francis was a little speechless when he saw this scene, but the NBA really didn't have a rule for pushing teammates to foul, so he decided to step back and bypass Grant's defense at any time. As a result, as soon as he withdrew, Guo Xu took a quick three-point shot to the right side, and Francis did not interfere at all.

THIS IS A TRICK THAT GUO XU DELIBERATELY PRACTICED DURING TRAINING, GRANT DIDN'T EVEN POSE A COVER POSTURE, BUT HIS 208CM HEIGHT CAN PLAY A CERTAIN COVERING EFFECT AS LONG AS HE STANDS. This kind of brain-opening trick is something Guo Xu has seen in the wonderful goal highlights in his previous life, and he can hit one unexpectedly.

Guo Xu got a near-empty shooting opportunity, no waste, three-point hit!

26-24, his personal 8th point, the score overtaken.

Joe shouted, "Jason Guo, three-point shot!" ”

Charlie said: "A very imaginative attack, Jason found his form today after three games of silence. The Lakers need someone to step up and score when O'Neal is not in shape. ”

The Rockets attacked, patiently passed on the outside, Mobley gave the ball to Francis, who cut in the air, this time Guo Xu failed to keep up, the opponent was one size bigger than him, and he had a lot of power when he turned.

Francis burst into the box to force a layup, bumped into Grant and caused a foul, he half-turned in the air, leaned over and pulled the lever and threw the ball to the basket with a backhand. His movements were very irregular, that is, blind, but the ball hit the board and fell into the basket.

In this ball, Francis showed amazing physicality and ability to stay in the air, and he was strong enough to take on some interior players. In Guo Xu's previous life, Francis was selected as a Western All-Star starter three times, and it didn't just rely on Chinese fans to swipe tickets.

Francisco also hit a free throw, 26-27.

Grant was substituted for two fouls and Robert Horry came off the bench.

Phil Jackson is very bold today, don't want a center, and get ready to fight with the Rockets!
