Chapter 531 [31 assists in a single game, and it has become a background board again]

Josh Howard was playing excitedly and laughing terrifyingly, and he was playing against Cassel that was Alien vs. Predator.

The progress was so rapid that he fell to the bottom of the first round in the draft, and was clearly underrated.

Although he is not an All-Star, he has practiced a good mid-range shooting, and his low-post strong play is even more extraordinary.

The Timberwolves need Cassel to play and strengthen their offense, but by letting Cassel play the wrong defense, Howard can use his excellent physical fitness to eat. It's hard for the average small forward to keep him alone, let alone a point guard?

In Guo Xu's previous life, Howard was a hard-working and inspirational player in the early part of his career. He became the starting point guard in the Mavericks the following season, playing in 76 games, scoring 12.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks in 32.2 minutes while shooting 47.5% from the field. Later, he squeezed out Finley and averaged about 20 points per game after possession.

At his peak, he was the second leader of the Mavericks, second only to the driver in status and statistics. He is also a well-known Mr. in the first quarter, who has the right to fire in the first quarter, and often cuts off half of his entire score in a single quarter, a bit like Cheng Biting Jin's three-board axe.

After the Suns and Payton became teammates, Howard's back-to-back offense was practiced in advance, and he knew how to help Guo Xu brush assists, not dribbling to his favorite position to shoot, but directly to his favorite position to receive the ball, and making quick shots.

He plays the ball fast like this, which is better than dribbling to find rhythm, and if he dribbles one more step, the opponent's help defense may be in place.

Guo Xu is very satisfied with Howard now, but it remains to be seen whether he can get a high-salary contract extension from the Suns in the future, because this product is likely to smoke marijuana and smoke stupid in the future. As long as he has online emotional intelligence and self-discipline in life, similar to Rudy Gay in the future, he is a good second-rate star.

The Timberwolves attacked, and after a few passes, Cassel was caught and distributed to Hassel, who shot wide in the open space. Compared to last season, Hassel's offense has not improved at all.

Olawokandi grabbed the rebound in the front court, and the second attack was successful, and finally played a little bit of a role. 103 to 87.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed to Marion who ran to 60 degrees from the left baseline in the middle, this side became the weak side, and Joe Johnson ran to the right.

Marion catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer, with a good rhythm and no interference, and Olavokandi is still standing on the edge of the box, and the ball is hollow into the net.

106-87, Guo Xu's 24th assist.

The Timberwolves attacked, Garnett played the middle organization after blocking and dismantling, relying on his height advantage to pass the ball above Marion's head, and assisted Szzebiak to score in the catch. 106 to 89.

The Timberwolves' offense is not bad, which is exactly what Guo Xu wants, if he falls behind too much, it will be difficult for him to play the whole quarter on the court.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed Marion again, and this time the main defender became Garnett. If you let the "sugar man" misplace the main defense Marion is going to have an accident, although Marion plays ugly, he can shoot suddenly, and he can score 20 points without making a sound, which is terrible, and the center can't keep up with his speed.

Marion didn't play hard in the face of Garnett, and the ball was guarded and Joe Johnson ran and passed.

Guo Xu ran without the ball on the right side, and received a pass from Joe Johnson at 70 degrees on the right side. Hassel, who is 196CM tall, was slow to chase and defend, and the "Sugar Man" did not change his defense, and Guo Xu received the ball and hit a three-point jumper.

109 to 89, Guo Xu's personal 18th point.

When returning to the defense, Guo Xu opened his arms to celebrate, enjoying the cheers of the fans.

Zhang Reasonably: "Guo Xu's two doubles are decided, and the difference between the two sides has also widened to 20 points, and he once again led the team to abuse the Timberwolves." Garnett's data is very stable, and it should be able to 20+10+5 today, but it is useless. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "The Timberwolves are not playing well this year, which should be directly related to Guo Xu's consecutive 50+ in the playoffs. The Timberwolves were stimulated, and they really couldn't prevent Guo Xu. He can assist when he shoots against it, and he is very comprehensive. ”

"Seeing that he is about to get 20+30, I hope to hit this kind of data."

Szzczebiak ran to receive Garnett's pass, dummy and forced a layup to cause a foul on Joe Johnson, who made both free throws. 109 to 91.

During the dead-ball period, the Timberwolves made a substitution, Griffin came on to replace Olavokandi, and the "Sugar Man" defense was too poor.

The Suns immediately changed their style of play, Guo Xu passed to Marion, who attracted Griffin's defensive pass to Joe Johnson, Guo Xu ran without the ball to receive the ball under the cover of Nenne, forced a breakthrough to attract Garnett to change defense and then hit the ball to the side.

Nene cuts to the ball and scores for a layup in front of Hassell.

111-91, Guo Xu's 25th assist.

After two more rounds, Xiao Si came on to replace Marion, and the Suns went up to the twin towers.

D'Antoni is a master on offense, and if the opponent is not a big center, the Suns will attack the restricted area, and the Timberwolves will not be able to take care of both interior and exterior defense.

In the case that the team has locked up the victory, Guo Xu still played the whole quarter, every time the offensive ball passed through his hands, his teammates tried to catch the ball and shoot to help him brush assists.

Even if Sanders replaced the "three-headed monster" and Szzambiak four minutes ahead of schedule and announced the surrender of the gun, Guo Xu did not end up. This is also what the fans expect, if he doesn't play the whole quarter and wants to break the record, he doesn't know that he will have to wait for the Year of the Monkey, and he doesn't need to give up for the sake of the Timberwolves.

In the end, he played 42 minutes, shooting 8-of-13 and 4-of-7 from three-point range, and finished with 20 points, 2 rebounds, 31 assists and 2 steals. He had five points and 10 assists in the final quarter, breaking the record for assists held by Skeys.

From the data, it can be seen that he is an assist, every time he breaks through, he attracts defensive points, does not play strongly, does not touch porcelain, and does not even make a free throw in the whole game.

The Suns won 135-104, with six players in double figures and four players 20+, and Josh Howard scored a career-high 26 points and 6 rebounds.

ESPN broadcast the game live across the United States, and commentator McBrin and his partner discussed Guo Xu's performance, believing that his 31 assists were very high, better than Skyles.

On December 31, 1990, in the regular regular season game between the two fish belly teams, the Magic and the Nuggets, the Magic won 155-116. Skels played 44 minutes, dished out 30 assists, and had 22 points, six rebounds and two steals.

With a big lead and no break, it's obvious that Skels is brushing up on statistics, but it's his ability to brush up on history. In the same way, Guo Xu is remarkable for breaking the record, no matter what method he uses.

The defensive thinness of the game back then, and Skyles' excellent big-picture vision and team-mates' competitive high shooting percentage created that legendary statistic. The Magic took their seventh win a third of the way through the season, and the individual performance was a collective tribute to the underdog.

That's a nice way to put it, after all, the Magic won by 39 points.

The Suns only won by 31 points, and against last season's Western Conference champions, the game was naturally much more interesting.

Garnett was furious and was photographed by a cameraman scolding teammates Hassell and Olawokandi on the sidelines, believing that the two were not working hard enough defensively, and the reprimand showed his domineering nature.

Garnett's personality is so straight, in his previous life, he returned to the Timberwolves when he was about to retire, and when the data was gone, he could still scold the starting center Pekovic in front of everyone in training.

Garnett was dissatisfied with the team's role players not committing a foul in the final quarter, and sending free throws to Suns players could prevent Guo Xu from brushing assists, and not daring to foul was a lack of blood.

No way, the Timberwolves' benches are usually low-key, and the only ruthless Madsen has a good relationship with Guo Xu and has been teammates in the Lakers. Timberwolves players are bloodless because they are afraid of being scolded and beaten, and the "wolf king" will let them know who the boss is.

Now they and the boss have become the background board again......
