Chapter 222 [Jason Guo must die]
On June 10, the third match between the Lakers vs. 76ers in the NBA Finals will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Vachovia Center Stadium, built in 1996, can accommodate more than 20,000 spectators.
In the early 1990s, after Barkley transferred, the 76ers went through a difficult and sluggish period until they chose Iverson. The dribble-fast and fast-breaking little man grabbed the titles of the newcomer, scoring, stealing, etc., not long after his debut, and the whole of Philadelphia was also fascinated by it.
Now, Iverson has become a symbol of Philadelphia. Everyone likes Iverson very much, and he also likes the city very much. Young children all want to be him. Many people have bought all Iverson equipment, including his hairband, and their hairstyle styles are also learned.
In the league, Iverson also has a considerable influence. The symbolic meaning of No. 3 was given by him. His ridges led the trend and his image as a lone hero was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
So, now all Philadelphia people hope that Iverson can abuse the villain wearing No. 58 in the next game, and there is a wonderful atmosphere of Jason Guo having to die here.
After Guo Xu arrived in Philadelphia, he didn't dare to go out to eat, for fear of being beaten up by fans.
The reason why Aimi hates Guo Xu is not because of his poor strength, but because of his reasonable style of playing. The defender with high hit rate will make Iverson not that powerful, which will make the "lost hero" style of playing look wrong.
Aimi said one thing very well. Guo Xu really doesn't make a shot, he will pass it to his teammates with more advantageous attacks. Almost all players with particularly high shooting percentage in the NBA play like this.
In Guo Xu's previous life, someone once made a magical argument in order to whitewash a blacksmith he liked.
This person said that for superstars, the shooting rate is just a big deal, and it is enough to score goals at critical moments. Stars' shooting is not just for scoring, but often keep shooting, but can directly disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm, especially maintaining aggressive shooting, so that the opponent's defensive tension will continue to increase.
This person may never watch strong teams. A truly strong team, a strong team with a high hit rate, does it come from so many key balls? The whole team will play more points, and the main team will get off work early in the third quarter, and the opponents don’t know who to defend.
The "superstar" that a person can't shoot is the easiest thing for the opponent to target, and it disrupts the defensive rhythm? The opponent has a rhythm, which is to prevent this guy from killing him, just like the Lakers defending against Iverson in this series.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the defenders who received high praise were a group of people who did not play randomly. When they felt bad, they would adjust themselves, first break in and play a few, try to get their teammates to open the ball first, and wait until their teammates attract the defensive focus and then make their own shots. During the adjustment process, they can still help the team.
It is too rare to play a star with a rhythm to the end. Even if O'Neal's shooting is not on time, he will adjust his shooting situation. The example is that he almost scored a four-double.
Today, Guo Xu, who assisted two games, thought it was time for him to take the lead.
In the morning, he was fucked and he was shooting. The basket was as wide as the sea. Even Kobe could not defend him by fighting alone. He broke through and played high boards to avoid the defense fairy ball.
Guo Xu made few moves in the first two games. First, the coach arranged an attack around O'Neal, and second, he was not in a state of confusion and had to play more with his teammates to maintain efficiency. Today, he was sure to get high scores in a single fight.
In the visiting team's locker room at night, Guo Xu, O'Neal and Kobe discussed countermeasures, asking them to help cover, pass the ball, and let him shoot more.
Both of them knew that he felt good and agreed.
Kobe didn't expect to compete with O'Neal for MVP this year. He couldn't even grab it. If he insisted on holding the ball and fighting alone, the data might not be high, and the shooting rate would definitely drop.
The one who is close to Zhu is red and the one who is close to the Mo is black. This is a famous saying. After Kobe saw that Guo Xu's shooting rate is always high, he will also ensure his shooting rate. His teammates can also limit his passing without passing the ball when he plays, which makes him understand some truths.
O'Neal was willing to cover because he was addicted to assisting on the court, and found that playing like this was good. Last year, he had already shown his dominance in the penalty area against the Pacers in the finals and was constantly sent to the free throw line. Now he pulled out to cover Guo Xu and made it difficult for the opponent to use the "shark-cutting tactic" and also made Mutombo unable to display his specialties.
When the player appeared, Guo Xu received booing from all the fans of the court. No one took him seriously when he came last time.
CCTV5 live broadcast game, Zhang Heli smiled and said: "This is the improvement of status. Philadelphia fans are now comparing Guo Xu and Iverson, knowing that this is the enemy of the 76ers."
Xu Jicheng said: "Playing games in this environment is a big test for new players. I hope Guo Xu can perform as stably as the first two games."
Zhang Heli said: "I think he is definitely fine. During the regular season, many people praised him for his good mentality. Since January, his performance has been getting better and better, and he has obviously broken through the rookie wall." (It is obviously a cheat)
The next Kobe appeared, the booed as big as Guo Xu, and it felt that fans would rush down from the stands and hit him at any time.
The booing was very hurtful for Kobe. His father, Joe Bryant, played for the 76ers. He returned from Italy to high school in Philadelphia. What he wanted to join the 76ers most during the draft was ignored.
Kobe came to Philadelphia for the first game in the rookie season, and the fans booed him. He really wanted to ask what this group of people mean. If he likes me, he chose me with the No. 1 pick back then. As an opponent, would I have to deliberately let go when I meet the 76ers?
During the warm-up, Guo Xu shot a few balls to try the feel, but he was still very accurate. Once a person who is good at shooting gets fucked, it can last for one day or even a few days, and it is normal for him to continue to explode back to back. He is ready to take many moves.
"Zen Master" Jackson became familiar with the 76ers' style of playing, and made adjustments to the lineup today.
Five Lakers: Guo Xu, Fisher, Kobe, Grant, O'Neal.
The 76ers remain unchanged: Iverson, McGee, Jumein Jones, Teelon Hill, Mutombo.
Jackson's adjustment is for a better offense. Fox will not take on more tasks on the offensive end, and the defensive end is a bit overkill. If Kobe is against Jumei, he will be abusive when counterattacking, and Fisher will be a misplaced against Jumei.
Fisher was able to be because he showed excellent form during training. He has been shooting accurately since entering the playoffs, and his three-point shooting was much more stable than Fox.
Mutombo jumped and the game began.
Iverson attacked with the ball, and as soon as he came up, he played pick-and-roll in the middle, and Teeron blocked Guo Xu for a while.
Iverson walked on the right, dribbling under his crotch and passed Grant. Guo Xu bypassed Teelon and chased and blocked the breakthrough route in front of the 45-degree penalty area.
Iverson dribbled the ball under the right side and made the bottom line. He failed to pass Guo Xu. He took a small step forward, gently stretched his shoulders, then pulled the ball back, dribbled the ball under the crotch and then took the step and shot it in the mid-shot.
Guo Xu's judgment was very accurate and immediately jumped to interfere. The defense was in place. Iverson quickly added a backward move, and the ball was hollowed into the net. 0 to 2.
It was just a mid-range shot, and the home fans cheered and applauded. The 76ers scored first was a good start.
Chapter completed!
