Chapter 437 [Jason Guo can also fly! 】

In the second quarter, the Suns coaching staff changed the rotation strategy, allowing Guo Xu and Steve Blake to play together to form a double defender, the two forwards were Josh Howard and Haslem, and the center was Nene.

This was asked by Guo Xu. They studied the Kings' lineup and rotation habits. The second quarter mainly relied on Bobby Jackson to score, and the shooting guard was veteran Anthony Pierre.

Pier is 193cm tall and weighs 94 kilograms. He is 34 years old this year and is about to retire. Last season, he changed from a "double-energy guard" to a "double-energy guard" in the Timberwolves. He played the No. 1 position without speed, and played the No. 2 position without height, and bounced.

Even Pierre was only a role player when he was young. He was selected by the Lakers in the first round in 1992. His four seasons with the Lakers were his most brilliant stage, a reliable bench scorer who averaged 10 points per game, and a relatively stable three-point shooting point.

Pierre has a huge role in the Lakers, historic, because in the summer of 1996, he was sent to the Vancouver Grizzlies by the Lakers, so the management has freed up his salary space and then welcomed O'Neal.

Last season, Pierre could no longer play in the Timberwolves. The Wolves would rather ask Hoyberg than renew his contract. Guo Xu continued to play as a shooting guard. He was confident that he would definitely be easy to score against Pierre, and he caught him off guard when he could beat the Kings.

King Miller and Peja are two substitutes, while the other three are Masenberg, Pierre and Jackson.

After the game started, Jackson beat Blake to stop and jump shot. Haslem grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu. Guo Xu saw that the Kings retreated quickly and passed it to Blake. He went to the right corner through half the game.

In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu slipped through the bottom line and Nene blocked Jackson for a while. Blake saw the opportunity and passed it to Guo Xu who ran to the bottom corner on the left.

Masenberg rushed out to defend, not daring to relax at all. Guo Xu turned around and flicked his face, changed his direction and made a jump shot with a 45-degree stop and made a cricket.

39 to 30, the 16th point in the individual.

The Kings attacked, and Miller made two high-level mid-range shots after pick-and-roll, 39-32.

Blake's speed of chasing defense is not as fast as Guo Xu. Once Nene is pulled away by Jackson, Miller is an opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, and his height advantage is obvious. He deserves the All-Star status and can be both inside and outside.

The king dug Miller into the formation not to replace Weber, but to replace veteran Divac, who is about to retire. The two have similar styles. Divac, 36, next year, has expired, and the king does not plan to renew his contract with him.

Blake dribbled the ball through the halftime organization. Guo Xu stood in the bottom corner and ran to the top without the ball cover. He received a pass at 70 degrees. Jackson chased and defended himself, but Guo Xu was enough to get the ball comfortably.

He slid his steps outside the three-point line and quickly moved to 45 degrees to the right. He stopped the ball with his right hand and dribbled the ball behind his left hand, took the left foot and took the step to open up the space. Jackson, who was chasing the defense, was obviously inferior in speed, and then the inertia of the emergency stop was too great, so he slipped and sat on the ground.

Guo Xu easily made a mid-range shot in the Niujiao position and entered another one.

41 to 32, the 18th point in the individual.

Adelman frowned on the sidelines, thinking about how to strengthen the defense.

In the first quarter, he could let Christie go to the main defense of Guo Xu and help Bibi reduce the pressure. Now he is on the bench and defensive end, so if he doubles the team, his assists will definitely be indispensable.

When the Kings sent a substitute, the offensive ends would be a little worse, and Jackson was not a good organizer.

It was almost 24 seconds long, and Masenberg played Haslem at a low post, turned around and shot missed under interference, and Nene grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Suns launched a counterattack, and Guo Xu easily changed direction and broke through to swing out the space. He scored three-pointers on the right, and Masenberg grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Kings fought back, and Peja had no good chance of making a phone call in the face of Howard's entanglement, and passed it to Pierre, who made a single Guo Xu's layup missed.

Pierre's scoring has mainly relied on receiving and shooting in the past two seasons, and rarely played singles with the ball. He mistakenly thought that his height and strength had an advantage. In fact, Guo Xu could fight with Wade and Kobe in the time loop. How could he be afraid of Pierre, who is 193cm tall, lacking impact, and making three steps slow layups?

Jackson snatched the frontcourt rebound and scored it out and Peja made a jump shot again. Nene, Haslem hit the rebound and hit the ball out of the baseline.

After the dead ball, Adelman saw that Peja's touch was reduced, so he went down to rest and replaced him with Gerald Wallace to strengthen his defense.

If Peja is out of strength, the Kings will be difficult to play in the second half, and the team needs him to score. After substitutions, the forward mobility will become stronger and the pick-and-roll defense can be better, but the ability to withdraw air from the offensive end will definitely be worse.

The out-of-bounds ball was sent, and Jackson passed the ball to Pierre again, which seemed to be a good opportunity to misalign. Pierre was close to Guo Xu, and forced a mid-range shot from the left side, and Howard grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Suns counterattacked quickly, Guo Xu faced the Epipile, received the ball from outside the three-point line, and stepped on the surface.

With a simple move, Guo Xu can form "three threats" on the outside.

Pier did not dare to step forward, so he lowered his center of gravity to prevent breakthroughs. He knew that he was slow and was afraid of being passed in one step.

Guo Xu made a three-pointer with his left foot and Pier hurriedly stepped forward and didn't have time to jump. Although he was taller than Guo Xu, his bounce speed was too poor. Guo Xu's attack speed was amazingly fast, and he was simply throwing it blindly, ignoring the sealed eye hit.

44 to 32, the individual scored 21.

Smith said: "The Kings are not double-teaming Jason. Today, it seems that they want to defend him alone, block the pass route, and cut off the connection between him and his teammates."

Barkley smiled and said, "He won 60+20 on the court, which made the Kings very afraid of his passes. The role players can't play when they shoot, but even if they can't help him, if he scores 60 points by himself, the Kings can't win."

The Kings players kept passing the ball according to the coach's arrangement and made mistakes in search of opportunities. Jackson passed the ball to Masonberg and cut it by Haslem and successfully stole it and passed it to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu rushed to the front court with the ball, showing his speed advantage. He brought the three-point line from the backcourt in more than 3 seconds. He was so fast that Pierre did not dare to steal, so he could only retreat with all his might, ready to interfere with the layup.

Pier was experienced and gradually retreated from the middle to the basket, staring at Guo Xu and counting his steps.

After two steps, it’s now!

Pier reserved a step away to facilitate his jumping and interfering with layups. He had expected all the possibilities, but the only thing he had miscalculated was Guo Xu's bounce power.

What would happen if a dunk king was easily put into the basket and gave the opponent plenty of room to take off? Pierre just wanted to interfere with the layup, what if the opponent didn't make a layup?

Seeing that the opponent was retreating, his position was too straight, Guo Xu remembered the hard-working dunk movement when his mind was hot. He jumped with all his feet, took the ball with his right hand, and stretched out his left hand to covertly press towards Pier's shoulder.

Guo Xu's hand couldn't catch the basketball, but he would clamp the ball by pressing his wrist. There was a small foul move in his left hand, but the referee was attracted by his jump and did not blow the whistle in his mouth.

Pier was shocked. He didn't expect Guo Xu to jump so fast and so high, and forgot to react for a while.

Guo Xu leaned against the boost from his left hand, and jumped directly from Pier with one leg, and smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand.

46 to 32, the 23rd point in the individual.

After Guo Xu landed on the ground, he clenched his fists and roared, and Pier realized what had just happened.

How is this possible? Didn’t the information say that this guy is floor flowing?

This is the fault of the Kings scout. Guo Xu had a big windmill dunk before, but the information collected by the scouts has not been updated.
