Chapter 382 [Teammates are holding high, and they feel great about themselves]

Zhang Heli commented: "The Cavaliers' defense is too poor, with loopholes inside and outside. The Suns' players are easy to take action when they attack three times. Guo Xu's assists in a single quarter may be in double digits again."

Xu Jicheng said: "When he was in the Lakers, no one knew that Guo Xu had such strong assist ability. He fully performed after the Suns. Any pass was an assist. I think he would definitely be the assist king this year, and no one can compete with him."

At this time, James, who was released two steps away from the middle, scored three points against Guo Xu.

Guo Xu didn't jump or reach out. James's move was too high, and even if he jumped, he wouldn't be able to cover it. It would be better to do nothing and just stare at the other person with Sharingan. This would be cooler.

Under Guo Xu's "Shenwei", James used his strength and the ball bounced out. Boozer grabbed the frontcourt rebound and leaned on Xiao Si and turned around and hooked the score. 7 to 4.

Is it the best response to being allowed to take two steps by the opponent during offense?

If an opponent lets Guo Xu take two steps, he will of course make a direct shot. He can score about 100 points in a single game, which is like usual training. For James now, he will definitely not be able to shoot the whole game against Guo Xu, and the opponent will laugh to death.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with Nene in the middle, and replaced the two towers because Guo Xu saw that the Cavaliers were man-to-man defense.

"Big Z" really stands inward and dares not defend to the three-point line. Guo Xu moved horizontally and got rid of James, took a step back from the left and took a jump shot without interference, and the ball entered the net hollowly. 10 to 4.

Guo Xu felt hot during training in the morning and warm-up before the game, and he knew that he would definitely explode today!

The Cavaliers starters are all big men, and the fastest moving person is James. Both inside defensive ends have defects and are very slow. Davis on the wings doesn't like to assist in defense.

James' luck was so bad that he had to put a lot of energy on the defensive end when he just joined the league.

Cleveland, where the Cavaliers are located, is a famous "remote countryside" in the United States, known as "Ke Village". Of course, this is a joke. After all, Cleveland is the largest city in Ohio, but the economy is underdeveloped. Ba stars are more willing to choose big cities, which are convenient for eating, drinking and having fun, which is conducive to enjoying life and has a high exposure rate.

What's even worse is that James just joined the Cavaliers and is not popular with his teammates in the team.

Several Cavaliers players were interviewed by the media in the summer. Boozer said: "We have already better players in the same position than James. He (Ricky Davis) is very talented, and maybe the sky is his limit."

Dalius said: "I don't think the team will improve after introducing a high school player. If he comes, he may be able to assist us well, and hope we can play better."

Then after the training camp started, Davis, who was praised by his teammates and felt great, really regarded James as a younger brother, always maintaining the "boss" style, asking James to carry his bag and pour water for him, asking James to obey his command, and warned James, "Be careful that I let the team sell you."

Davis didn't know yet, but he was on the management blacklist in the preseason. There has never been a case of No. 1 pick in NBA history to assist with the cancer, and he has entered the countdown to leave the team.

After halftime, Guo Xu made two more steps to defend against breaking and not shooting, and threw it at medium and long distances. He was still early to become an all-around old man James.

In Guo Xu's previous life, in 2017, ESPN compared Simmons, the No. 76ers' No. 76ers' No. 1 pick, and listed the data to prove that Simmons' shooting is not bad, and it is even stronger than James when he first entered the league.

James is a player who is not very good at shooting from the outside. His three-point shooting percentage has exceeded 40% in only one season in his career, but his shooting percentage has been above 45% at the beginning of the second season and has been above 50% for many seasons. He is a person who is good at leveraging his physical talent and hitting the basket.

Before being defended by the Kardashian clan's "Ken Bean", Simmons' rookie performance was no worse than James in the rookie season.

Within a distance of 3 to 10 feet, Simmons' shooting percentage was 41.7%, James' shooting percentage was 35.6%. Within a distance of 10 to 16 feet, Simmons' shooting percentage was 31.6%, James' shooting percentage was 31.3%. There is no need to compare with three-pointers, James' 29%, and Simmons doesn't shoot directly.

In short, this season, Guo Xu can make James shoot with all his energy without any pressure. James also knew his weakness and chose to force a breakthrough. Then he was double-teamed by two people in the middle. Marion retreated to the near-the-scene area and let Dalius empty.

Dalius received a pass from James and made a mid-range shot from the right. 10-6.

In the Suns' attack, Guo Xu and Nene played pick-and-roll in the middle, and James tried his best to catch up and defend, but he was still one step slower.

A big man with a 203cm sprint speed cannot be as sensitive as a small guard, and he will be slower to bypass when he encounters cover.

"Big Z" stands more outside this time. Guo Xu chose to break through with the ball on the weak side, and quickly brought it to 45 degrees on the right side by speed. He turned around and changed direction to the left, and passed the ball to the middle in the gap between "Big Z" and James who was chasing.

Nene took a step and jumped up with one hand and made a spike. He was still bald this year, leaving his beard, looking even more tough. He and Si can take on the task of playing pick-and-roll, and they often perform "double ghosts slamming the door" when they cut in the air!

12-6, Guo Xu had the fourth assist.

Boozer followed Sir at the bottom line, without making up for defense. Boozer, who is good at attack, always makes the coaching staff love and hate him. His horizontal foot movements cannot keep up with most power forwards, his height and arms are limited, and his defensive awareness is also poor. The team cannot expect him to make up for defense.

In the Cavaliers' offense, James first broke through with the ball, attracted double teams and passed the ball. Bale rotated to make up for Dalius, who passed the ball, assisted Davis to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer. 12-9.

Guo Xu played pick-and-roll in the middle, and James bypassed Nene in time to catch up and defend, but Sergei immediately made a second cover. Guo Xu took the ball to the left bottom line and made a quick stop and pitched in. Boozer's replacement was slower again, and he really defended the black hole.

14 to 9, Guo Xu scored 5th.

The Cavaliers attacked, Myers passed to Boozer at the high position. The latter observed the situation and passed to James who cut the gap in the middle. The latter squeezed out Guo Xu and dunked the ball with one hand. Nene followed the "big z" and stood on the outside, with no one resting on the defense. 14 to 11.

Guo Xu can't defend against this kind of empty cut, but it doesn't matter, he will use his attack to fight back.

Nene pulled out to play the pick-and-roll, Guo Xu was caught up by James again, and the pass space in the middle was blocked. He first passed to Marion, who was supporting, and then ran to the bottom corner on the left, stood on the bottom line and ran to the right. Sir blocked James.

At this time, Bale, who ran to 70 degrees on the right, received a pass from Marion and quickly moved to the bottom corner. Guo Xu received the ball and made a three-pointer. James tried his best to catch up and failed to block it, but it played a disturbing role and the ball was off.

Zhang Heli said: "James is really hard to defend. His physical fitness is terrifying. He can catch up with Guo Xu from big defense to small defense, but this is only the first time Guo Xu misses the shot, and the chance to make a phone call has already come out."

Xu Jicheng said: "If the whole game is so defensive, I wonder if he still has the strength to attack well?"

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "I don't think James has to consider allocating his physical strength. Generally, the Suns will play against weak teams for three quarters."
