Chapter 192 [Road turns black to powder, ankle terminator]

The Lakers led 61-51 in the first half.

Paul Pierce played his power in the last 3 minutes, scoring two three-pointers in a row, and O'Neal. Fox made 4 free throws, helping the team to bite the score. He scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter.

During the halftime break, online fans were discussing how many points Guo Xu would score, and many people were optimistic that he set a record high in his career.

"There is no suspense at 30+, and there is no stop to 40+. If Fisher hadn't made a comeback today, Jason Guo would have been able to score 50+. Why would the Lakers let Fisher play the whole quarter? He would have dribbled through half the game."

"I am a fan who turns to the road. Jason Guo challenged Iverson not only knows how to brag, but is really awesome. As long as he gives him the right to take action, he can score like Iverson."

"Will Kobe recover from his injury come back and see? Huh? Why did I become the third leader of the team?"

"Don't let Fisher get on in the second half, can you trade him? Jason is not physically exhausted, and it's okay to play 40 minutes in a game. If he plays more time, he may not score less than Iverson."

"What's the point of bragging about this? Jason Guo just relies on his teammates to attract defense and then brush up the data. If he faces 3 or 4 people like Iverson, can he create a mobile phone chance?"

There are all things to say on the Internet. What is certain is that scoring points is really the way for players to gain the most fans.

Because scoring points can attract a large number of pseudo-fans. They don’t care about the star’s hit rate, number of shots, playing time, scoring efficiency, etc., and don’t even care whether the team wins, but care about how many points the star can score in a game and whether the player plays beautifully.

If this star scored more than 70 points in one game, even if he was against a weak team, there would definitely be a group of people who would think that "his scoring ability surpassed Jordan", because Jordan's highest single-game game in his career was 69 points.

Kobe was a little nervous when watching the game at home. Guo Xu's score in this way would affect his popularity and status in Los Angeles. After all, his highest score in a single game was only 51 points, which was obtained when he played against the Warriors, and he even lost that game.

Kobe's personality has always been very contradictory. On the one hand, he is worried that his absence from the Lakers' record will decline, and on the other hand, he is worried that the Lakers will play too well when he is absent, which makes him dispensable.

In the second half, Guo Xu continued to do the main attack, Phil Jackson arranged for "Cobra" Grant to play pick-and-roll with him in the middle, and O'Neal was active in the low post.

This way, you can play pick-and-roll and triangular attacks. The only difference is that Brian Shaw passes the ball to O'Neal from the side, standing to attract defense, not to shoot without shooting at an open position, Kobe has an extra single option to hold the ball and play.

Fisher was pressed firmly on the bench again. When Guo Xu performed well, the coaching staff did not consider letting him play. Jackson was too lazy to help Fisher find form. Even if Fisher was in good condition, he would not be able to be stronger than Guo Xu. The two were not at the same level. He completed the task in about ten minutes of each game.

Fisher is not suitable to play with Guo Xu. Although the two players of 185cm and 180cm play double guards fast, they will suffer losses on the defensive end unless they meet the opponent's small man at No. 2 position.

Guo Xu was invincible today. He broke through Walker in a row in a row, attracting two assists to O'Neal to dunk and one assist to Grant's mid-range shot, which made the home fans excited.

Veteran Grant is confident in the mid-range shooting at an open position. He averaged 8.5 points per game this season and shot a 48% shooting percentage. He will pay the price when he shorts it.

The Celtics point guard Brown plays a point guard who relies on breakthroughs and passes the ball. He lacks the ability to make three-pointers. Guo Xu directly lets him go two steps away from the long-distance breakout but not against the shot. Brown plays a pick-and-roll, and Guo Xu bypasses the big man from the inside to block the breakthrough route. The Celtics' pick-and-roll has no power, let alone creates empty spaces, there are few opportunities for misalignment.

The Lakers opened the inside first, attracting the Celtics' defensive formation to shrink. The Lakers also quickly made a shot from the outside, and Brian Shaw and Fox all hit three-pointers.

After a 14-4 wave, the gap between the two sides widened to 20 points, Guo Xu did not score and sent 4 assists.

O'Brien was forced to request a timeout and sent a meat shield Vitali to replace center Mark Blunt, who is good at mid-range shots but has poor defense.

No matter how stable the CNB is, Blunt can't play for long. His confrontation is too bad and he can't stop O'Neal from entering the penalty area.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Blunt was a center forward well-known by many fans. He was selected by the Supersonics at the 26th pick in the second round in 1997. He was too soft to get a contract. He trained outside for three years. He joined the NBA this season and received the basic salary offered by the Celtics. He is 213cm tall and weighs only 104 kilograms. He basically does not enter the penalty area. After pick-and-roll, he catches the ball and shoots from the outside.

His reputation has little to do with playing basketball, but because his agent is a god. He helped him with 9 points and 4 rebounds, signed a 6-year, high salary of 42 million yuan in 2004, which expired in 2010. It is a famous bad contract for the NBA.

The Lakers also substituted the players during the timeout, and Brian Shaw and Grant were out of the game and replaced George and Horry.

In this way, the Lakers are better at defending pick-and-roll. Grant's movement speed is at the center level, so it is difficult to meet the pick-and-roll and switch to defender. Both of the Celtics' goals were scored by Crawford's misalignment.

After the substitution, O'Brien found that the timeout was in vain and still couldn't defend against the Lakers' attack.

O'Neal faced Vitali with 127kg, no longer attacked the basket, pulled out of the penalty area and played pick-and-roll with Guo Xu. Other players pulled open to attract defense and created room for breakthrough.

After getting rid of Brown, Guo Xu made two three-pointers in a row, and the game was very simple, making 1 of 2 shots. Vitali was forced to switch to the near three-point line. Guo Xu began to break through with speed and scored a layup once, causing Vitalira to foul, and made both free throws.

Pierce assisted the defense and double-teamed once. Guo Xu passed the ball with the opportunity and assisted George to score a three-pointer on the left. The Lakers had a lot of points and the score difference continued to widen.

Before the end of the third quarter, Guo Xu held the ball and made the last attack. He calculated the time to fight Brown alone, dribbled the ball under his crotch to his right hand, and changed his direction to break through on the left. Brown's judgment accurately followed, and Guo Xu dribbled the ball behind him to his right hand, changing direction to the right.

He held the ball in his right hand and moved his left hand closer, giving people a false impression of shooting, attracting Brown to move wide and then to the left, another rapid change of direction. Poor veteran Brown sat on the ground by Guo Xu's series of fake moves.

Guo Xu was not finished yet. He took a left foot and stepped back and stepped out of the three-point line. He made a buzzer-beating jump shot from the middle and made a steadily. Pierce made a step slower on the side and failed to cover it.

Joe sighed: "Jason Guo's three-pointer will definitely be selected into the top five goals today. This is a perfect combination of technology and shooting. Brown is so miserable."

Charlie smiled and said, "I think Jason Guo's performance can no longer be described as 'excellent'. It is no exaggeration to say that it is cruel. Both Celtics point guards were destroyed by him. I think tonight will definitely be a sleepless night for them."

Joe said: "After this game, there was another ankle finisher in the league, and his breakthrough was so sharp."

Charlie said: "I don't know if Jason will play in the final quarter. As long as he continues to play, it will be easy to break the individual single-game scoring record, but the Lakers are already too far ahead."

The Lakers led by 23 points into the final quarter, Guo Xu scored 10 points in a single quarter, O'Neal scored 8 points, Fox scored 7 points, George scored 5 points, and the team blossomed at multiple points.
