Chapter 131 [Little general counts a ball? 】
The Spurs attacked, Johnson and Duncan played pick-and-roll in the middle, attracting Guo Xu to chase the defense and then passed the ball to Duncan.
Duncan beat O'Neal with a high-level frame, and after exploring the steps, O'Neal stretched out his hand to Duncan two steps away. Unless he released his internal force and regretted hitting a dragon, it would not be interfering. 26 to 12.
Whenever his opponent scores such a goal, Kobe will show an impatient expression and feel disgusted with O'Neal's lazy defense. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Lakers players' defense was not good in the future, and Kobe can yell at them as the boss. Now he can't yell at the boss of the team, and he can only hold it in his heart.
From the perspective of paranoidness, O'Neal's behavior is unforgivable, but Kobe cannot change O'Pang's personality.
In O'Neal's opinion, if the team leads more, you can relax properly, and there is no need to do your best in the regular season. If you go all out and lead too much, your playing time will be shortened and you won't get good data. Stay on the court and be lazy properly, and you will consume about the same physical strength, so he can fully enjoy the fun of playing basketball.
When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu stretched out three fingers to give O'Neal a secret code and decided to hold the ball on the outside and fight alone.
He discovered that as long as he relies on blocking and covers Johnson, Ross will be very active in replacing defense, and Johnson will also chase the double-team.
This is already a star treatment. The opponent's purpose is to limit his scoring and cut off the pick-and-roll pass route, so that he cannot easily pass the ball to O'Neal who cuts the ball. He passes the ball to his teammates. When the ball reaches O'Neal after the ball is transferred, the Spurs can defend it by rotation.
As long as O'Neal doesn't come to cover and stand at a low post to attract, how can the Spurs double-team Guo Xu? If the wings come to double-team, he will pass the ball with the opportunity. This is Curry's style of playing in the peak of his previous life.
Guo Xu made correct adjustments based on the opponent's defensive system, and Jackson was very satisfied with it. If Guo Xu continued to play pick-and-roll and look for double teams, he would be more mentally retarded. "Zen Master" likes to watch players adjust on the court, which is a test (lazy).
The Spurs players also automatically adjusted, Rose was defending Grant, Duncan was defending O'Neal, Fox pulled Elliott to the bottom line, Anderson was closest to Guo Xu, but Kobe must not let go.
Guo Xu and other teammates pulled apart, lowered their center of gravity and dribbled the ball under their right hand, gently lit the right shoulder and quickly changed direction to the left, attracting Johnson to move horizontally, dribbling the ball behind his left hand to his right hand, moving horizontally with the right foot and taking a step back, and making a three-pointer in the middle.
This is the technique Guo Xu trained in Polis. It is simple and effective. It cooperates with breakthroughs. It can create space for both defenders who are generally defending and switched defenses. In the previous life, Isaiah Thomas, the "little Assassin" who also joined the NBA at the last place in the second round, relied on a combination of change direction breakthrough and step-back jump shots, and was called "the strongest 175cm on the surface."
Johnson has never been a player known for his defense. At the age of 36, he is now a black hole in the defensive end and cannot jump. Guo Xu was only slightly disturbed and hit his fourth three-pointer!
29 to 12, the 16th point in the individual.
All the fans applauded and cheered, and Megan Fox also became a fan girl, and they participated in it and shouted together.
Jackson didn't expect Guo Xu to burst out such a lot of energy. He is an old-school coach and would ask players to shoot at mid-range and near the basket, but he did not order Guo Xu to reduce three-point shooting. Once the three-point shot is opened, the scoring efficiency is super high, and the score difference will soon widen.
Popovich frowned even more, and the arrangements were made to prevent the pick-and-roll from being effective, but what should Guo Xu do if he directly held the ball and fought alone? He could see that Johnson could not defend himself. Even if the two faced each other when he was young, Johnson was at a loss because he was not good at shooting.
When Guo Xu defended Johnson, he was the main defense breakthrough, and kept a two-step distance and allowed him to shoot casually on the outside. This made Johnson's breakthrough skills difficult to play. On the other hand, Johnson could not defend so much. Guo Xu's shooting poses greater threat than breakthroughs.
The Spurs need someone to stand up and score to stabilize the situation. There are no spaces when passing several times. Duncan beat O'Neal in a low position and turned around and threw the ball to hit. 29 to 14.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Johnson chose to press close this time, but Guo Xu pushed his back and forth, and the center of gravity was unstable. When he stabilized, the opponent had turned around and broke through.
Guo Xu scored a three-pointer from the right, and Johnson failed to catch up and block. Fortunately, Guo Xu was not accurate every time, and the ball missed the basket.
This was only the first time Guo Xu made a blacksmith. Many viewers stood up and prepared to cheer, thinking that he would make it no matter how he voted.
The Spurs attacked, Johnson wanted to return one.
He is a famous veteran with extremely high prestige and a locker room leader. The No. 6 jersey is destined to retire with the Spurs in the future. The rookie scored continuously in front of him, how can he tolerate this?
He singled Guo Xu with the ball, used his skillful skills to dribble the ball under his crotch and then changed direction to the three-point line, and made a quick stop and jump shot.
Johnson avoided the block, but this kind of long-distance mid-range shot is the lowest-efficient scoring method. One step further is a three-pointer, and his shooting percentage is far inferior to that of a layup. Guo Xu intends to force him to take action in this area, although it only interferes with the defense slightly, it succeeds.
Grant grabbed the rebound and passed it to Kobe. Kobe was a little moved. He ran back and forth for many rounds, and finally touched the basketball.
Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and was about to fight Anderson alone, but he felt a sharp look shot from the low post... O'Neal squeezed Duncan's position, and he also wanted to return one.
If Kobe 11 years later, even if the bone spur on his feet is pierced through sneakers, he would have to shoot this kind of ball by himself. But now, Kobe is a selfless second-in-command. He has never taken more than 20 shots in his career. He immediately realized that he could not be as independent as Jason Guo!
Kobe gave O'Neal, who was asking for the ball at the low post. O'Pang just squeezed Duncan with his back and attracted Elliott's double team. He split the ball out of the periphery, and Fox made a three-pointer in the bottom corner.
Fox is the team's last choice for offense, and he really returns to the king of running. He hasn't touched the player for a long time and has not grasped the opportunity to be empty.
In the Spurs positional battle, Ross led Grant away from the penalty area, Johnson and Duncan played a pick-and-split ball, Duncan made a breakthrough after a feint in the middle, causing O'Neal to foul, two free throws. 29 to 15.
Grant grabbed the rebound and distributed it to Guo Xu. Ross and Johnson suddenly double-teamed him in the frontcourt. The other Lakers players didn't pay attention and ran to the frontcourt.
This is the Spurs' routine. Suddenly, it caught the opponent's point guard off guard. Guo Xu dribbled the ball horizontally to avoid Johnson. Ross rushed up and poked the basketball with his right hand. Johnson picked up the ball and passed it to Ross, who scored a one-handed dunk. 29 to 17.
Guo Xu added a mistaken statistic. Facing the strong man Ross, he had no choice but to be at the basket.
Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Johnson was close to each other again, Kobe wanted the ball on the right side. He protected the ball with his back and looked at Kobe without a pass. He hit Johnson with his back and turned around to the right, and passed Johnson in one step, and rushed to the middle three-point line.
His movements were very coherent, and Johnson took a small step back when he was hit and failed to keep up with the turn. The ball had a very high arc, and the shot was straight enough, and it was hollow into the net!
32-17, Guo Xu made 19th point and made 5 of 6 three-pointers.
When he returned to defense, he raised his arms and made a celebration of the "General" of his previous life, which has now become a symbol of him. The atmosphere in the Staples Arena was completely detonated.
