Chapter 1166 [Finals! Two extreme defenses]
Before the finals began, fans online edited a funny video called "Two Extreme Defenses, Jason Guo in the Regular Season and Playoffs".
Guo Xu is a regular visitor to TNT Radio's five major embarrassing video materials are very easy to find. He is not aware of all kinds of things, and defending around the back and making two meters of random shots are all kinds of pediatrics. In order to make his opponents make a better breakthrough, he even chooses to hide.
The opponent broke through, Guo Xu straightened his body and looked up at the sky. It was really embarrassing. Uchiba Harden's Sharingan and Guo Xu's Maneidic Sharingan were completely incomparable.
The second half of the video is Guo Xu's playoff defense highlights. He has various close-fitting bodies, quick pursuit and interference shooting, accurate prediction of the defensive face frame to reach out to steal, and assisted defense to sneak attack and steal from behind.
The video contains a helpless expression of the point guard against him, and uses subtitles to list Guo Xu's data in each round of playoffs and the data of the defender against him.
Others didn't score in double digits, Curry was the only point guard in double digits, averaging 23 points and 5.2 assists per game, but his shooting percentage was only 43.1% and his three-point shooting percentage was 35.5%.
After watching this video, fans can understand why the Lakers with poor lineup can eliminate the Warriors. Guo Xu is a defensive black hole in the regular season, and he is a defensive expert in the playoffs. He looks better than Chris Paul and will hardly be passed by others.
From the playoffs, the Lakers are a team with three defensive experts.
If Robertson defends Wade in the finals and Tucker defends James, the Lakers may not need to double-team. The Nets will definitely not be able to double-team Guo Xu, which is the Lakers' biggest advantage.
On June 2, the NBA Finals started at Staples Center, and the Lakers played two home games first.
As soon as Guo Xu appeared, the home fans made a shocking cheer, and the Lakers were so angry that the Nets were extremely angry. In addition to some celebrities and celebrities in the front row who watched the ball, many fans spontaneously unified their clothes and wore Guo Xu's No. 58 purple gold jersey.
James was booed by fans when he appeared. The reason was very simple. He was fighting for the championship in a group. James always picked up the fault of his teammates and turned the blame on the loss. Except for James, there are few people who like James now.
It is obvious that Lakers fans don’t like James. James feels that he will not be able to get along with the Lakers in his life when he hears the booing. He really comes to hug Guo Xu’s thighs, and winning is not the biggest contribution. The Lakers are already very strong now.
The Lakers' starting lineup has changed again, Guo Xu, Carter, Tucker, Horford, and Nurkic.
Tyrone Lu thinks that offense can defeat the Nets. If Wade starts and breaks through, it is really sharp and can't defend himself again. The Nets didn't happen to play Wade, and the matchup in the second quarter can be very targeted.
Five Nets: Beverly, JR Smith, James, West, Howard.
Mike Brown knew that Wade and James were not suitable for starting together. If the opponent did not shrink to the penalty area and defended 122, the Nets needed a pitcher. Smith was a famous nerve knife. When he was accurate, he made 10 three-pointers in a single game.
Smith was in a very brave state this year's playoffs, averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 42.9%.
As long as "Warcraft" Howard can play without injury, he will bounce better than Nurkic. He will beat the nets to attack first after jumping the ball.
James was taken to the middle and Tucker took two steps, and the players were pulled away, and the Lakers were defending by man.
Almost all teams use this strategy to defend James. One person on the periphery defends alone. When James breaks through, the wing or inside players shrink and double-team near the penalty area.
Many James said that James has the strongest personal ability because his data is always accurate to triple-double. It is expected that if he takes more shots, he can play super data. He is just selfless, and the double-team defense intensity faces higher than that faces Guo Xu on the periphery.
To put it bluntly, James, like Kobe, made many moves at the low post and at the basket, and missed due to double-teaming.
In fact, James has his own system, and the opponent also has a way to deal with his system. He went into the inside and attracted double-teams and passed the ball to the outside. He really wanted to attract double-teams on the outside like Guo Xu, but he thought that he could not do it at all. Now James is often put two steps and does not make many three-pointers in each game.
His personal three-point shooting record in a single playoff game was set in 2006. When he played against the Wizards, he made 7 of 12 three-pointers.
James did not want to choose to shoot three-pointers in the first leg, and forced a breakthrough and was double-teamed by Tucker and Nurkic, who passed the ball at close range to Howard. Howard took the ball and did not directly shoot, and drove a step into the inside. After Nurkic turned around and interfered, the shooting missed and Tucker grabbed the rebound.
Now no one thinks Howard is a superstar. He has not had a shooting range for 12 seasons since he entered the league, so he can only wait for opportunities to attack at low posts. Moreover, he doesn't like to pull out to cover his teammates, and doesn't like to run, so he just stands.
James wants to leave the Nets and has a direct relationship with Howard, and they are really not suitable to be partners.
The Lakers' position attack, Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with Nurkic as soon as the halfway point was passed. The big player's pick-and-roll effect was very good. Beverly was blocked and could not fit in close proximity. Guo Xu got rid of it and took full speed to the inside, attracting James to switch defense.
He didn't pause at all, so Beverly wouldn't be able to catch up and defend himself. He brought it to the right 45 degrees and attracted Howard to retreat.
Guo Xu jumped up and turned around and passed the ball outside the middle three-point line. Horford received the pass and was empty.
Jumping and passing the ball is said to be a taboo, but Guo Xu knew that Horford would be in the middle and could support the attack without a mobile phone. Behind him was Beverly. As long as the ball jumped and passed quickly enough, even if the opponent was on the passing route, he could pass the ball over Beverly's head.
His seemingly unreasonable choice is actually the best choice. Beverly turned around and wanted to interfere with Horford's shooting, but it was too short to block it. Horford's rhythm was very good, and he scored a jump shot. 3 to 0.
The Nets attacked, Tucker let James go two more steps, but James still forced a breakthrough and made a quick stop and jumped into the three-point line. 3 to 2.
James has been improving for many years, not the kind of star who has no range and can only break through the league.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu attracted double teams and passed Horford to support him, and he ran from the left to the right, receiving a pass from 70 degrees Carter on the right.
He took the ball and flicked it. After Beverly chased after it, he jumped up and blocked it. He made a mistake in judgment. Before Guo Xu could jump up and commit a foul, he only made an action. Beverly jumped on him and the two fell to the ground together.
The fans of the audience were booing, and the foul seemed to be heading for someone. Fortunately, Guo Xu did a good job in protecting the ball. He threw it and supported it with his hands. He fell to the ground and cushioned it with the flow, without any injuries.
Guo Xu went to the free throw line, rapping the ball to find the rhythm, and made three free throws steadily, 6-2.
The Nets attacked, Beverly ran without the ball under West's cover to catch the ball, Guo Xu deliberately set aside a little distance to give him room to attack, bypassed the cover and jumped to interfere.
Beverly chose to catch the ball, but the interference was deviated.
Although the Lakers clearly have the advantage, Guo Xu still carefully studied the opponent's information before the start of the finals, and even read Beverly's high-end data. He had a pitiful low shooting percentage of running and shooting in the playoffs this year, and he still made up for the fixed-point shooting.
Guo Xu deliberately gave him a chance to take action, but he didn't believe that he could suddenly become accurate after a three-wheeled round.
The Lakers' position attacked, Guo Xu formed a triangle on the right side of the run like the same as before, and took the ball and took a step to the left, attracting Beverly to move horizontally and dribble behind the back, giving the right hand a quick stop and jump shot. 8 to 2.
