Harden shot and made consecutive shots, and the players on the court felt incredible. He could defend like this? And it was really effective?

Nurkic grabbed the rebound and passed it to Booker. Collison's physique could not compete with Booker. He did not stick close to him or gamble and steal. He wanted to chase Guo Xu and Harden to switch defenses, but turned his head and saw that the side had already missed someone.

Guo Xu's speed is too fast, and he is surrounded by Harden's butt to defend. The opponent makes a quick attack without interfering with the opponent's shot. How could Harden, who is at a disadvantage in this situation, catch up with him?

Booker hit the ground and passed the ball. Guo Xu threw Harden two meters away. He took the ball and took the ball with one step and jumped with both feet. He turned clockwise and dunked the ball with his right hand 360 degrees!

90 to 92, the individual scored 59th.

This is very similar to the classic first dunk when Vince Carter won the championship in 2000. However, Guo Xu was short and not as stretchy as Carter's movements. The two of them communicated with dunks during training in the team. Guo Xu practiced this movement very well.

Yu Jia sighed: "Guo Xu is going to participate in the dunk competition this year. He has performed various dunks many times in two games. I feel that he jumped higher than he was at his peak. He won't jump much after 2010."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "He is in his peak period. He not only has beautiful offense, but also has a genius defense. He is defending Harden's step back, and Harden can't make a foul, and it's really effective."

Yu Jia smiled and said, "Iverson once said that Guo Xu's speed is faster than him. It's really unstoppable that he rushed forward. Once the opponent fails to make a shot, he will catch the ball and counterattack. "

The Kings attacked, Harden needed the ball as soon as he passed the half, but Guo Xu also followed him from half, leaving a large open space in front for him to shoot casually.

From the audience's perspective, Guo Xu is just not guarding, it is even more excessive than retreating for two meters, which is a kind of contempt for Harden.

Harden rushed up with the ball, gave up his open mid-range shot and three-pointer, and missed the throw under the interference of Nurkic's backup defense. Both Lakers' insides and Robertson both contracted near the penalty area, wanting to let others take action, Harden's choice was unwise.

It is not without reason that Guo Xu's "unpreparedness" will be regarded as a skill by the training system, which can really affect the opponent's mentality. Harden's ability to withstand pressure among stars is still recognized as poor. He loses his chain as soon as he enters the playoffs and his shooting percentage drops sharply.

The reason for Harden's failure every time is the same. He doesn't know whether he should shoot or pass. In the past few seasons, the Kings lost to his opponents in many high-scoring games, and it is difficult to win by himself.

Horford did not take the board and moved the ball to the outside with one hand. Booker picked up the rebound and advanced quickly. He had a misalignment in the frontcourt 2-for-2.

Booker passed Stein's mid-range shot and missed. Guo Xu rushed to grab the frontcourt rebound. He leaned against Collison and turned around and made a strong move, hitting the board with one hand. 92 to 92.

The referee's whistle also sounded, and Collison fouled 2+1. When he saw Guo Xu grabbing the rebound, he felt that it was going to be bad. The foul was too light and he couldn't hold it.

Guo Xu also scored 93 to 92, with the 62nd point in the individual.

The audience was shocked. Guo Xu's score had exceeded the previous game today. Other players may not have 60+ in their entire careers, and he completed it easily.

George Carl stood on the sidelines while pinching his waist and didn't know how to adjust. It was difficult for the players to double-team Guo Xu in the counterattack. If Rondo was sent, the Kings' offense would become worse. "Director Long" could no longer sit still on the sidelines. He couldn't stand his teammates' defense just now and just took the initiative to ask the coach to come on the court, but Carl was still hesitating.

The Kings attacked, Guo Xu continued to defend around the back, and Harden broke through and landed with the ball and hit the ball before Nurkic made a comeback. 93 to 94.

Harden's choice made home fans a little disappointed. He had the chance to directly use his phone and did not shoot, which made people feel that he lacked confidence, even though he scored his 50th point in this game.

The Lakers attacked, and Nurkic provided a cover for Guo Xu just after halftime to block Collison. Stein lacked experience and retreated to the three-point line. After Robertson came on the court, he usually stood at the bottom line, and Solomon could not come out to double-team Guo Xu. Harden followed Booker and was thinking about life.

Guo Xu took a step horizontally, and as soon as he came out of the Kings' bid in the middle, he scored three-pointers. He hit without anyone disturbing him, and received applause from the Kings' home fans.

96 to 94, the individual scored 65th.

Zhang Heli said: "Guo Xu made such a long three-pointer in two consecutive games, and this distance is really a regular range for him."

Yu Jia said: "I think he won 70+ today without any suspense. As long as he is not blocked, he can score anywhere he shoots."

Collison still passed the ball to Harden after halftime. Guo Xu continued to defend from behind. Harden jumped into the middle and made a three-pointer. Without anyone disturbing him in front of him, he once again made a blacksmith.

The Harden fans at the scene were very disappointed. They didn't understand why Harden, who had killed all sides in the last quarter, suddenly became inaccurate.

Guo Xu's defense is actually very clever. He knows that Harden plays by rhythm, and the sense of rhythm is the most important to him.

Not only Harden, but even Guo Xu's three-point shooting percentage will drop a lot, so it's better to add a backward shot. The backward shooting arc will be higher and it's more likely to score a goal. Harden's retreat step is a signboard, and he can't withdraw now, and his shooting posture is different from usual.

Compared to the feel, Harden and Guo Xu have a clear gap. There is not a season in his career that his three-point shooting percentage exceeds 40%. His mid-range shot is even worse. He has not been a conventional weapon since entering the league. Guo Xu suddenly gave him this, and he couldn't adapt.

In parallel world, Rubio also defended Harden in this way in the 2019 playoffs Kings vs. Jazz.

Although the final result of the series was that the Rockets advanced 4-1 and Harden scored a lot of points, he only had one shot percentage of more than 45%. In the worst third game, he made 3 of 20 shots and 2 of 13 three-pointers, making a joke.

Guo Xu didn't know that series, after the time of his rebirth, but he knew how to make Harden uncomfortable, because he would feel uncomfortable if he couldn't take a step back.

As long as the Kings players shoot, the backcourt rebounds will almost certainly belong to the Lakers. The Kings can grab the rookie Stein, who has obvious weaknesses. Casby plays a guest power forward and cannot grab the rebound. Jon Loyle, who is a substitute, is also a soft ball that takes the ball from outside to catch the ball and shoots. His resistance is very poor and his defense is average.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu first passed the ball to his teammates, and ran around the left baseline to get the ball, attracting double-teams from Loyle and Collison.

After observing the players' positions, Guo Xu chose to break through the middle, and rushed to the inside with Collison and broke the double team. He took a big step in front of the free throw line and turned to the left basket, picking the basketball in with his left hand.

98 to 94, the individual scored 67.

Carl's on-the-spot response was not fast enough. Guo Xu scored 13 points in a row and found that he had a shot. At this time, he should have called a timeout to interrupt his rhythm, but Carl was an audience on the sidelines and had no intention of stopping.

Harden was surrounded by Guo Xu and chose to break through again. He made a mid-range shot from within the three-point line. Robertson interfered slightly on the wing. This was the interference Harden himself found.

Horford grabbed the rebound and passed it to Booker, who easily dribbled the ball through the half, and Collison went to Guo Xu, who was in a fast attack.

Booker saw the opportunity and passed it to Guo Xu, who was looking for the ball on his back. Guo Xu squeezed Collison with the ball, turned around and pulled the rod and entered the basketball.

Collison wanted to make a foul but couldn't hold it back. The two had a big difference in jumping power. Guo Xu scored a steadily close-range score with one point in the air. The referee blew 2+1.

Guo Xu also scored a penalty, 101 to 94, with a score of 70.

At this time, some fans of the Kings shouted "mvp" at home and they turned against each other. Harden's performance in the first three quarters was not much inferior to Guo Xu. Now the score has widened the gap of 20 points, and it is clear which of the two is stronger and who is weaker.
