Chapter 448 [Crushing talent, shouting MVP! 】

Nash knew that Guo Xu had already scored a lot of points, and knew that the media would not say anything good to him after the game. He also knew that as long as the Mavericks lost, he would definitely be the one who took the blame.

This season, Nash suddenly felt that playing basketball was not a pleasant thing. He had experienced some difficult stages and some difficult moments. Overall, his cooperation with Old Nelson was very beautiful.

If it weren't for Old Nelson, Nash wouldn't have made it to the level of an All-Star. Old Nelson had forced Nash to take at least 10 shots per game, otherwise he would be fined and forced out his potential.

Now, Nash began to question some of the decisions of Old Nelson, because defense cannot be done by attitude, and he cannot defend Guo Xu. Why can't the team find a blue-collar worker on the outside to defend? Why can't even fans see that he is not good and keep asking him to defend Guo Xu? Isn't this a tough guy?

Nash worked with Laga Bale last season. He thought Bale was excellent and suitable for the Mavericks, but Old Nelson did not have the idea of ​​renewing his contract. He looked down on Bale, who could only catch the ball and shoot, and gave it to the Suns for free.

If Bale was there, the Mavericks would not be so passive when defending Guo Xu.

In fact, even if Bale is still in the Mavericks, he will not be able to prevent Guo Xu from killing him, at least he will not score more than 60 points.

Guo Xu has become stronger, and his devil training effect is significant in the time loop. Although he had the physical strength in the past, he was too lazy to jump in the end. Now he has entered overtime. He still feels like springs on his legs, he can easily dunk and break through at full speed.

He is good at adjusting his breathing and sprinting while in a state of fatigue. He practiced bounce with Wade, and was used to the height of the table. He could jump more than half a meter without much effort.

Nowitzki has not conducted devil training in the attack. He no longer has the strength to squeeze out Nene and can no longer get rid of the defender. He chose to pass the ball to his teammates.

Finley caught the ball and beat Lagabele in one go, but was close to her body and turned around and fell back and missed the shot.

Finley began to decline after signing a seven-year, $102 million contract in 2001. Because he was favored by Jordan, Cuban became generous and was cheated. As one of the highest-paid players in the league, Finley averaged 39 minutes per game and scored less than 20 points.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Finley was bought out by the Mavericks in 2005. He joined the Spurs with his old club's high salary for 8.4 million in three years. In 2007, he won the championship ring with the team, which is considered a successful player in his career.

Finley has already started to decline this season. His speed and explosive power are not as good as in the past. His scoring mainly depends on jump shots. He can still score goals in a big backward situation. This is also the reason why Jordan is optimistic about him, because Finley practices Jordan's unique skills. However, Jordan is very accurate, with a shooting percentage of 50%. Finley cannot even reach 45% this season, "four rises into three irons."

In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu broke through and was passed by Nene. The latter had a height advantage when he encountered Walker and did not have a strong fight. He passed it to Marion on the left.

Marion had a three-pointer chance but failed to make a shot. He felt bad on the outside today and was afraid of wasting opportunities. He brought it to the 70-degree organization without any rush. When Guo Xu slipped through the bottom line and ran from the right to the left, he passed it over.

Nene blocked Nash at a low post, and Nowitzki did not change defense in time. He changed the pick-and-roll several times today. Now he is very tired and cannot take into account both offense and defense.

Guo Xu easily scored a three-pointer from the ball and made an easy three-pointer, 120-111, with a 66th point in his own position.

All the fans applauded hard, and Guo Xu made all 4 shots in overtime to widen the gap, and he was almost scored 70 points.

The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki went out to cover, Nash broke through and led Nene away to pass the ball, Nowitzki received the ball and did not shoot, Marion made up for defense on the side, and Nowitzki passed the ball with the opportunity, Jamison made an open jump shot and missed the basket.

Jamison has a range, mainly mid-range shots, with few three-point shots, and averaged only 0.5 shots per game. At the critical moment, he failed to seize the opportunity. Haslem grabbed the rebound and hugged it in his arms.

In the battle of the Sun position, Guo Xu waved his hand and asked his teammates to pull away. He faced Nash in the middle and looked up at the stadium timer.

At this time, everyone thought that Guo Xu had to suppress time and tried to use up 24 seconds before taking action. Even if he didn't score, it would make his opponent uncomfortable. Nash also thought so, and did not step forward to press and took advantage of this opportunity to take a breath.

Unexpectedly, Nash just lowered his center of gravity, and Guo Xu made a three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line. Nash's reaction was slow and he could only interfere slightly with one step forward. Although this distance was far, it was almost open. Guo Xu made a very comfortable shot and the ball entered.

123 to 111, the individual scored 69th.

As long as you play with a flexible and rich imagination, watching the timer can also become a fake move. After scoring the goal, Guo Xu raised his arms to celebrate. Under the leadership of the staff, the fans neatly shouted "mvp".

Old Nelson finally requested a timeout and called a little late. When the player left the court, Nash's expression was a little dumb and his mind was blank. This was the most terrifying game he had ever played in his life.

"The Mavericks were hit 12-0 in overtime, Jason took charge of all the scores and made 5 shots, which was the perfect performance."

Barkley smiled and said, "It was a mistake for Old Nelson to insist on letting Nash defend Jason. Nash's offense is good, but he can't defend. However, there is no one suitable for the Mavericks to defend Guo Xu. If Finley and Jamison defend, it is misplaced. If you come on as a substitute, the offense is too bad."

Smith smiled: "The Mavericks' lineup problem is very serious. They have to make big deals after the end of this season. Pure offensive basketball won't work."

The Suns are not purely offensive basketball, they can also defend. They have no poor defense ability in each position in overtime. The only weakness is that after encountering a pick-and-roll, Guo Xu cannot be in a position to defend the big guy in a misplaced position. The opponent is facing him and it is impossible for him to block it.

Guo Xu's active pursuit of defense can make up for his weakness to a certain extent. The opponent has a time difference of more than a second. Nowitzki is a person who needs to find the shooting rhythm. It is impossible for him to continuously receive the ball and shoot three-pointers outside the three-point line.

Nowitzki's personality is not selfish enough. He will be panicked if he makes him take 30 shots in one game. Even if he is invincible with three-pointers, the Suns coaching staff will not let him take action easily. Marion will rotate to make up for defense at any time and let others shoot two points.

After returning from the timeout, the Mavericks' tactics are still simple pick-and-roll. If S and Joe Johnson are present, they may be effective in playing like this. Now the Suns are on the court. The best lineup to defend against pick-and-roll is the one on the court.

After the pick-and-roll, Walker received the ball and made a jump shot. Guo Xu could not block Walker, but he would be close to him, making Walker unable to jump out comfortably. He stood on the ground and raised his hands to interfere, and the referee would not pose a foul.

After defending, the Suns were not in a hurry to fight back. Haslem held the basketball and waited for Guo Xu to retreat and respond. The positional battle was opened, allowing Guo Xu to hold the ball and move around the periphery.

While Guo Xu was killing time, the fans on the scene called out MVP again, making the home team's morale better.

In the last 5 seconds, Guo Xu started to dribble the ball into the three-point line, leaned against Nash, slapped the ball with his left hand and shook his right shoulder. He made a fake move to turn around in the middle, and then quickly broke through to the right with the ball with his right hand.

Guo Xu attracted Nowitzki to make up for defense at the bottom line, and passed the ball to Nene on the left from a close distance. The latter caught the ball and jumped up with one-handed dunk.

125 to 111, Guo Xu had the 6th assist.

He didn't have many assists today, and it was already amazing to have assists with so many points.

The Mavericks attacked, Nash played pick-and-roll in the middle, Nowitzki scored a layup with an all-cut ball. 125 to 113.
