When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without any haste and waved to Valaijo.

He waved to his teammates as a fake move, and often deliberately showed flaws. As soon as the opponent stole, he immediately changed direction and broke through with speed. He could control the basketball with one hand, and the dribble was very low and it was difficult to steal.

Parker suffered such a loss last season and did not dare to rob. He took a step back and observed Valejo's position with his light, trying to quickly bypass the cover. As a result, before Valejo came up, Guo Xu stopped and stepped back and scored three-pointers at a point left.

Parker stepped forward and didn't have time to jump and block it, and reached out to interfere slightly, and the ball entered. 13 to 4.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe broke through with the ball on the right, and Marion retreated to double-team near the penalty area. Kobe ignored the double-team and Odom who was empty, leaned against Marion and turned back to the middle and jumped back to the jump shot, and missed out of the basket due to interference from the two.

Odom was in a bad state in the last game. Kobe thought he would continue his bad state, so he made a shot.

Valejo grabbed the backcourt rebound again, and Marion rushed out like a wild wolf. Odom didn't even have time to make a helpless expression, so he hurriedly followed him back to defend.

Guo Xu received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt at full speed. He suddenly stopped in front of the three-point line on the right side. At the same time, he dribbled the ball behind his right hand and gave it to his left hand. Parker tried very hard to defend and was not thrown away. He quickly stopped and moved sideways to interfere with the shooting.

Parker's emergency stop was half a beat slower than Guo Xu. When he stopped, Guo Xu had already adjusted his center of gravity. He held the ball in his left hand and quickly changed direction to the right. Parker wanted to forcefully follow and sat on the ground.

Guo Xu stopped in the three-point line with a quick stop and took the ball with both hands, which attracted Kobe to make up for defense and passed the ball to the right bottom corner. Bale easily took a shot at a large open space, and the ball was hollowed into the net. 16 to 4.

At the beginning, the Suns played in a wave of play, and Jackson, who didn't like to call the timeout, took the lead in calling the timeout. If there was no adjustment, the Lakers' home court would have another massacre today.

Jackson felt helpless. Guo Xu could do everything he wanted to do to the team's core and easily drive the entire team with his personal ability, but he had already left the Lakers. No matter how he said, Kobe still liked to play randomly when he was on the court, and he didn't trust his teammates at all.

Kobe's sense of trust in his teammates was weaker than in his previous life, because the Lakers won 34 wins in 2004-05 in the previous life, and his record was not at the bottom of the West. Moreover, Kobe's failure to pass the ball in his previous life was reasonable, and the main scoring points were only him and Odom, and the others were much worse.

There was a famous joke in the Lakers in his previous life. Kobe once in an interview revealed an embarrassing story about Kwame Brown.

Brown once told Kobe: "If I have no defense anymore, don't pass the ball to me." Because he felt that if he received the ball and his opponent fouled, he would not score the penalty.

It is incredible that a professional player in a competitive league with such a high level of basketball says such things.

"Zen Master" Jackson once said: "I won't let Kwame Brown hold my child." This guy's buttery hand makes people speechless, they can only defend and cannot attack.

But you may not believe it. Kobe's career can score two scoring champions has a lot to do with Brown. Because he does not pass the ball to Brown, there are sufficient reasons for him to shoot in double teams, and the coach allows him to do so. If his inside teammates have offensive power and Kobe still shoots, Jackson will not be able to bear it.

Now Lakers center Bogut will only say to Kobe: "Pass the ball to me, and I can shoot it no matter who the opponent is." After all, the Australian No. 1 pick doesn't even take Yao Ming seriously.

The Lakers also have all-around fighters Odom and Butler, and the scoring limit is not high, but they can also play the right to take action.

Of course, Lakers point guard Parker is really weak, Guo Xu plays alone, and the flaws in this position are enough to be fatal.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Parker had only 5 years of NBA career, but he had changed to six teams. The only two full seasons he played were in the Lakers. From this point of view, we can see how bad he is. If it weren't for the Lakers' no one available, he wouldn't have done it.

Parker is a player with a problem with his mentality. He is always afraid of playing against a star or a key game and cannot exert all his strength.

The Lakers played against the Suns in the first round of the playoffs twice. Parker played against Nash, who was nicknamed "Na's not guarded", which should have become an important scoring point for the team. What's the result?

He averaged 36.9 minutes per game in the first year, shot 33.3% from the field and 15.4% from three-point shooting percentage, scored 8.9 points, 3 rebounds and 1.6 assists, and made more shots than scores. The coach asked him to take action, but he couldn't make a shot.

The second year he performed worse, his playing time narrowed to 11.8 minutes, with only 15.4% shooting percentage, scoring 1.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists.

Parker had no confidence when facing Guo Xu, and the offensive end was useless. He worked very hard on the defensive end and could prevent ordinary point guards from breaking through. He could not do anything to face a star of Guo Xu's level.

After the timeout, Jackson changed his defensive strategy to joint defense. Bogut was active near the penalty area. Four players accelerated the round conversion on the outside and interfered with shooting nearby. On the offensive end, he allowed Kobe and Odom who had ranged to play pick-and-roll, and Bogut attacked the basket with strong force.

Jackson's move is to play a combination of inside and outside. He knows that Bogut's low-post offensive ability cannot be compared with O'Neal, but if the inside is not opened, the Lakers will be in trouble today.

Jackson must train Bogut because the Lakers lack three-pointers, and Kobe is the one with the most three-pointers in the middle. He averaged 2 shots per game last season, with a shooting percentage of only 33.9%. Parker, Odom, and Butler can also shoot, and they are all unstable, with a shooting percentage of between 30% and 37%.

As a result, the next time became Valaijo's performance time. He defended Bogut with his close body without taking fake moves and always kept in front of him to interfere with the shooting. Bogut couldn't squeeze at the basket, forced a shot of 1 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, which could not attract double-teams.

Valaijo didn't feel any pressure. He felt that Bogut's offense was at the same level as Nene, and was not as good as Sir. A strong attack at low post was useless to Valaijo, and it would only allow him to display his strengths.

In his previous life, Valaijo defended Bogut alone. Duncan is a player of this type. Bogut's shooting percentage against Valaijo in his career was only 45.9%. This is the premise that Valaijo often defends pick-and-roll, and he usually won't have a good ending to play him forcibly.

Valejo also played on the offensive end, and went back to cover. Guo Xu attracted Bogut to replace the defense and passed the ball to the middle, assisting Valejo to dunk with both hands and scored 2 points.

Bogut's defense change is too slow in the joint defense system. If he doesn't defend against pick-and-roll, he will be beaten. Guo Xu will pass it to Marion and Howard. These two people received the ball at the bottom line, and fighting Bogut alone is a misplaced.

In the second half, Jackson made a substitution adjustment, sending inside lineman Brian Cook who made a living by shooting, the Suns replaced, Haslem and James Jones appeared, substituting Valaijo and Howard.

The Lakers are Odom playing center, and it is more suitable for Haslem to defend himself. He has strong mobility and does not suffer any loss in strength. He can interfere with shooting. He can quickly switch defenses when he encounters pick-and-roll cooperation.

Except for Kobe who plays singles at low posts, the Lakers will retreat to help defend at nearby locations, all positions are single defenses. Kobe takes action from mid to long distance, and Bale is responsible for the candy-like interference.

The Suns are not even James Jones's weakness in defense, and their height and wingspan are not at all against Butler. The Suns' offense is very simple, and they can counterattack quickly at any time, and the position is opened during wartime. The three of them stand still, Guo Xu and Marion are the main attack.

Cook is not very good at defending the pick-and-roll. He has been a substitute in the Lakers. Guo Xu can always find singles opportunities to attract double-teams to pass the ball. His four teammates have a range, and Haslem can shoot stably.
