Chapter 493 [Easy 50+, the wolf king does not roar]

The Timberwolves asked the swingman Spreville to defend Guo Xu and sent people to assist in defense near the penalty area, but he still had the ability to play, relying on a fast running without the ball.

In the time loop, Guo Xu did Pat Riley's devil training, and his physical strength exceeded that of rookie Wade. In the previous life, Wade averaged more than 38 minutes of playing time at the beginning of the second season of the previous life, and his physical strength was at the top of the NBA in the early stage of his career.

At present, the endurance of the entire league is one. Perhaps only Hamilton, who was born in a long-distance running family, and Iverson, who averaged more than 40 minutes of playing time in his career, can be compared with him.

The situation of the swinger's main defense and control guard is very common in the NBA, and it has the advantage of height to interfere with shooting. But that must be an ordinary point guard. When facing point guards like Iverson, Guo Xu, TJ Ford, the swinger's main defense is that it is easy to be passed by misalignment, and it will be half a beat slow when it encounters cover and chase.

The "Madman" is nearly 34 years old and has passed its peak period. Kobe, who did not gain weight in the 2001 finals in his previous life, had better defense than the "Madman", and it was difficult for him to defend Iverson, which led to Tyrone Lu's fame in his battle.

Guo Xu led the Suns to lead 65-42 in the first half, scoring 35 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, with 21 points.

Guo Xu didn't have a break in the second half, and the coaching staff stopped the first-year rookies from coming to exercise.

Only when Guo Xu is present can the Suns have the backbone, otherwise the lack of cooperation will make the players take turns to singles.

Fortunately, Guo Xu didn't rest, otherwise the Timberwolves might have another wave of play to catch up with the score difference. In this game, the blue-collar swinger Hassel was in a very brave state. He scored three mid-range shots in a single quarter in the third quarter, made two counterattacks and scored layups, and made 5 shots.

Garnett also began to play, not only able to score points by himself, but also used cover and support to help his teammates create opportunities.

There was a time when Coach Sanders asked substitute point guard Martin to play, speeding up the pace and fighting against the Suns, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

In this quarter, the Timberwolves led the Suns 33 to 26, 16 points behind and entered the final quarter.

Guo Xu's shooting feel decreased, and he still scored 10 points and 2 assists, scoring 45 points and 6 assists in three quarters.

In the final quarter, Spreville started to play his power first, breaking through and laying a layup to score two points, receiving an empty pass from Garnett, causing Sir to make both fouls.

The score difference was narrowed to only 12 points, and the home fans began to cheer and saw hope of winning.

Barkley lamented: "The Suns have problems with their mentality except Jason. They rely too much on Jason. Today, many points were recovered in the second half."

Smith analyzed: "The Suns' biggest weakness is that the core players are too young. There has never been an example of such a young team winning the championship in NBA history. They lack a veteran who can stabilize the situation at a critical moment. Now it depends on whether Guo Xu can stand up like in the first half."

There is an old family, like a treasure. In the NBA, the role of veterans on the team is obvious.

Veterans with good scoring skills and game experience often play roles or sixth players in the team. Although they don’t play much time and their data are not gorgeous, they can make the lineup run better.

Guo Xu knew about this hidden danger last summer, but did not ask the management to trade because he believed in the talent of the current group of teammates and their own abilities. This season they are going to break the historical law that young people cannot win the NBA championship and crush everything with their talents!

Guo Xu ran backwards at the bottom corner on the left, and Shuangta Xiaosi, Nene's middle "elevator closed" to block Cassel, Garnett, Guo Xu received the ball from the middle and turned and jumped into the net. The action was completed in one go, and the ball was hollowed into the net.

94 to 79, the 48th point in the individual.

The Timberwolves attacked, Kassel singled out Guo Xu and leaned back twice, turned around and jumped to the ball. 94 to 81.

When he returned to defense, Kassel did not make any celebration moves, and he often performed the controversial "Cassel dance steps" at home. Guo Xu's crazy scoring caused Kassel to be under great pressure now, and his sun shrank and his stomach...

Guo Xu ran to catch the ball in the position, but Garnett didn't follow him, for fear of the two insiders being empty.

During the timeout, Sanders told the players that no matter what data Guo Xu takes in this game, their first goal is to win, and as long as you win another game, it will be stable. No team can turn the tables behind 0-3.

Spreville actively chased and defended. Guo Xu got a one-on-one chance on the weak side. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and dribbled the ball behind him and took the step out of the space. He scored a mid-range shot from the left.

96 to 81, the 50th point in the individual.

Barkley shouted: "It's 50 points, and the final quarter has just begun. If Jason makes more moves today, he may challenge 60 points, and he's crazy."

Smith said: "No matter what the final result of the series is, Jason is not a loser. He proved that he is the most scoring player at the active level. Interestingly, the most powerful scorer in the playoffs are two defenders who are about 180cm tall."

The Timberwolves attacked, and the "madman" broke through and was double-teamed. The empty center Johnson received the ball and made a mid-range shot. The rebound was grabbed by Nene and immediately hit a pass to counterattack.

Guo Xu took the half to see Joe Johnson without a pass, and suddenly made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line in the middle. Kassel retreated farther and his center of gravity also dropped lower, so he was not too late to block the block as the defense breakout.

Like Payton, Cassel is already a floor guard. He plays slowly and can only step forward and reach out to interfere slightly. Although Guo Xu's shooting distance is far, the rhythm is very good, and the ball is hollow into the net.

99 to 81, the individual scored 53.

This goal made many home fans feel cold and their cheers to the home team were lessened. At the critical moment, Guo Xu scored 8 points in a row, resisting the Timberwolves' counterattack.

If such a person is overrated, who else in the NBA league is not overrated?

Garnett played Nene singles, successfully used his footsteps and shoulder-shaking bottom line at low posts, and scored a one-hand dunk. 99 to 83.

Usually Garnett, who completed the dunk, beat his chest and roared, and was unparalleled. Today, the "Wolf King" stopped yelling and returned to defense honestly. He was under the greatest pressure. If the Timberwolves lost the game today and did a background board, his movement to celebrate the goal would become very annoying.

After the game, the media will definitely compare the core of the two teams. Garnett felt helpless. He never said that he suppressed the Suns' inside, nor did he say that he was a better player than Guo Xu and should win the regular season MVP. These are all said by the media, which forced him to a very high position.

If he loses at home, he will be questioned first. Guo Xu's condition is obviously better than the previous game today, and it is also difficult for him to switch defenses without double-teaming.

Garnett is actually 215cm tall, so even if he defends the defender in full, it will be uncomfortable, especially for a small defender, whose center of gravity is lower than his waist when breaking through. How could he easily keep up?

The Timberwolves attacked, and Kassel scored three-pointers to hit the iron, but Guo Xu only interfered slightly. The opportunity came out, and Kassel couldn't control it. He was eager to chase the points and did something he was not good at.

Nene stuck Garnett, and Smith grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Sanders shook his head on the sidelines. If the "maddog" Madson did not play, he could only rely on Garnett to grab the frontcourt rebounds alone. The others had too bad rebounds. When Madson got on the periphery, there was someone who could just let go. The Suns' defensive pressure was greatly reduced, and it might not be possible to defend Guo Xu.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Joe Johnson, and started running without the ball again, switching freely between having the ball and without the ball.

Today, the Timberwolves' weakness was completely captured by the Suns. "Joe" did not pass back to Guo Xu this time, and leaned against Kassel on his right back and turned around and made a mid-range shot. His physical advantage was unobstructed, and his opponent could only interfere slightly.
