Chapter 496 [Beyond Promotion, 50+ in Three Matches]
How sensational is Guo Xu's 67 points in a single game? Almost all the media around the world has reported on it, and basketball fans are discussing it.
The two sides were off-play for a day, and those who were interviewed before that they were not optimistic about Guo Xu all hid and refused to be interviewed again. Especially Jordan and Pippen, they both found that they couldn't stimulate Guo Xu, and they exploded as soon as they were stimulated.
Pippen opened Chrysostom twice, and Guo Xu broke Jordan's record for the highest score in a single game in the regular season and playoffs.
There are also people who can't hide, such as Kobe. He came out and said that he was not optimistic about his friends supporting the Timberwolves, which caused some controversy and disgusted some pot secrets.
Some fans asked puzzledly: "Didn't Jason be the best man for Kobe?" Where the hell did he offend Kobe? ”
"Jason and O'Neal are still iron buddies after leaving the Lakers, but the relationship with Kobe Bryant has faded and has become a nodding friend, I don't believe this is Jason's problem."
"I think that's naked jealousy."
Of course, Guo Xu didn't offend Kobe, if he didn't propose that Vanessa go to Eagle County together, Kobe would have to fight a lawsuit for a year, and their second daughter would have been miscarried, but Kobe didn't know what kind of disaster he had avoided, and he wouldn't thank Guo Xu.
If you see each other less and for a long time, your friends will gradually become estranged from you.
After watching the news, even NBA commissioner David Stern was moved and flew to Minneapolis to watch the fourth game between the two sides.
As a result, Guo Xu played the whole court again, playing exactly the same as on the court, constantly running without the ball looking for shooting and breakthrough opportunities, his physical strength seemed to be never exhausted, and continued the feeling of playing, and the shooting rate was only slightly lower.
In the end, the Suns beat the Timberwolves 105-91 again, and the overall score was 2-2.
Winning is a trivial matter, the key is that Guo Xu cut 50+ again, shot 7 three-pointers, and scored 51 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.
Cassel couldn't find a crosshairs this time, shooting 6-of-15, 0-of-3 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring only 14 points and 6 assists.
At this time, all the fans who supported the Timberwolves were dumbfounded, the Suns regained home-court advantage, and the advantage was obvious, and the Timberwolves looked like they were already unlucky.
In the last two minutes of the game, many Timberwolves fans chose to leave the game early in disappointment, and the score difference was not big, but the Suns were always in control of the situation.
After the game, basketball "experts" changed their tunes one after another, saying that they were optimistic that the Suns would reverse the Timberwolves and advance to the Finals.
The "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" started in Phoenix, and Guo Xu played the whole court again, combining no ball and ball.
Joe Johnson is in charge of the organization, and the formation of the twin towers of Nene and Xiaosi is also the key to the Suns' victory, which the Timberwolves can't break.
HASSELL AND SPREWELL ARE BOTH SWING MEN WITH A HEIGHT OF 196CM AND A GOOD FACE FRAME, JOE JOHNSON IS 201CM TALL AND CURRENTLY WEIGHS 105 KG, AND IS A STRONG MAN WHO CAN PROTECT THE BALL.
Guo Xu ran out of position, Joe Johnson passed to him, if Garnett changed the defense, he could directly drop the ball in the low post, and let Xiao Si and Nene impact the basket.
Xiao Si is too fierce, except for Garnett, the Timberwolves have no way to take him inside, if they don't strengthen the defense of the restricted area, he has the ability to score 30 points in a single game. Nene is slightly inferior and has no strong desire to attack, but he is physically outstanding and can score and grab rebounds.
Garnett mainly defended the penalty area, and Guo Xu played very easily on the periphery.
At the end of the game 114-89, the Suns won by 25 points, even if they were ahead of Guo Xu by a big score, they did not rest, played 48 minutes in three consecutive games, scored 50 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, and 50+ for the third consecutive game.
He set another historical record, surpassing Jordan. Even if there is a suspicion of swiping data, the media and fans are all boiling, and the sports circle is full of news about Guo Xu for a while.
No matter how godly you go in the regular season, you can't prove to be a superstar if you don't do well in the playoffs.
For example, the basketball emperor Chamberlain, whose regular season statistics are extremely dazzling, but he loses to Russell, the Lord of the Rings, in every finals, which is the main reason why Jordan became the god of basketball.
Jordan scored 50+ in the playoffs a total of 8 times in his career, with the highest score being 63 points. And Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in a single game and averaged 50.4 points per game in the regular season, only had 4 playoffs 50+ in his career, and two were just 50 points.
In Guo Xu's previous life, he was as strong as Kobe Bryant, who won a total of 25 50+ games in the regular season, but only 1 in the playoffs. In the 2005-06 playoffs between the Lakers and the Suns in G6, Kobe Bryant scored 50 points alone, including 12 of the team's 13 points in overtime, but he still lost to the Suns.
50+ in a single playoff game is so rare, and only Jordan has done it before to win 50+ in a row. He scored 50 and 55 points in the first two games of the series against the Cavaliers, and the Bulls also led by a 2-0 overall score. Guo Xu has now completed the transcendence, three consecutive 50+ games, and the first game also broke the record.
Even if Guo Xu can't win the championship this year, he can blow it for a lifetime.
On the contrary, in just one week, the Timberwolves have made the leap from heaven to hell, from the number one favorite to the No. 1 tragic backdrop in NBA history. The pressure on the players is something that the average person simply can't imagine.
In the fifth game, the mentality of the Timberwolves players obviously collapsed, they couldn't afford to lose, and they were even more afraid that Guo Xu would get a high score, and the more they wanted to win, the more they were afraid of losing, the more they couldn't win, especially Kassel, who became a blacksmith.
The sixth game was played on the home court of the Timberwolves, and the coaching staff had a meeting before the game, racking their brains to prevent Guo Xu from scoring high points.
If Guo Xu cuts another 50+, the members of the coaching staff can kill themselves by seppuku, and the boss who does not cut his abdomen will want to hack them to death.
Guo Xu suddenly went against the norm, mainly passing and assisting his teammates, and he was mainly anti-guest at the beginning, and he caught the Timberwolves off guard.
The Timberwolves guessed wrong, Guo Xu gave up the pursuit of four consecutive games of 50+, he had already completed it very reluctantly, playing three consecutive games and having a super high possession rate, which was a great test of the player's tenacity.
After achieving the match point, Guo Xu's nerves have relaxed, and it is difficult to achieve good results if he continues to make more shots.
As a result, the Timberwolves' preparation was in vain, Guo Xu did not attack strongly, and shared the ball when he encountered the bag, which attracted Garnett to change the defense and share the ball.
Xiao Si attacked the basket and scored again and again in the misalignment. His style of play is simple and effective, which is to play to his physical strengths.
As long as Garnett is not under the basket and lets Smalls receive the ball in the restricted area, the opponent can only pray that he doesn't shoot well. Because his shot point is very high, he jumps fast, it is difficult to block, and when he has time to make him rush, he will directly split the dunk.
At the end of 125-94, the Suns won by 31 points away from home, thus completing the reversal with a total score of 4-2 and taking the lead in advancing to the finals.
Guo Xu played 48 minutes, shooting 8-of-14, 4-of-8 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws, and got a big double-double of 22 points and 20 assists.
Xiao Si played 38 minutes, shooting 16 of 22 and 6 of 8 free throws, scoring 38 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Marion, Joe Johnson, and Nene also scored double-doubles, and the Suns only had an eight-man rotation and killed the Timberwolves by starters.
At the post-match press conference, Guo Xu became more low-key than the previous games, did not say any new jokes, and did not evaluate his opponent. Before, he said that it was mostly for psychological warfare and to demoralize the other party, but now that he has been promoted, there is no need for him to get along with the Timberwolves.
The reporter asked about the finals matchup: "Which team in the East do you like to advance?" ”
"The Pistons, to be precise, I want the Pistons to make it to the Finals." Guo Xu smiled.
Another reporter asked, "Why?" Do the Pistons have players you'd like to play against? ”
"No, because I think the Pistons are easier to play."
