Guo Xu rested in the second quarter, and the Raptors quickly overtook the score under the leadership of Mike James, Morris Peterson and Bonner.

This Raptors is not lacking in talent. When Marvin was the power forward, the team's overall mobility was super strong, and they could not only land on the position or fight back.

The main reason why the Raptors cannot win the ball is that the center defense is too poor and no one protects the frame, which is very similar to the Lakers last season. This weakness is fatal. Give the Raptors a Kwame Brown, who can make it to the playoffs with their lineup depth.

The Suns are now better than the Raptors in the interior. Although there is no 20+10 star like Bosh, the three rotational insiders are good at rebounding and two are good at defense. Except for Valaijo, all insiders have stable mid-range shots, which can open up space.

The Raptors mainly rely on Bonner to open up the space. He was in a very good state, with 2 three-pointers shots; Peterson and James scored 5 points and 6 points respectively.

On the side of the Suns, veteran Kukochi made a mid-range shot, and a three-pointer stabilized the situation. Howard and Bale each scored two points. When Guo Xu took a 5-minute break and returned to the court, the Suns were 45-46 behind by 1 point.

The Raptors also adjusted their lineup, replaced Bosh, Ross, replaced Marvin, and Dota Smith. Center Aruyu continued to guard the water dispenser on the sidelines, with a dull expression.

Smith is the second round rookie chosen by the Raptors in 2004. He is a 201cm tall and weighs 98 kilograms. He is in good health, but his skills, poor shooting, average defense, and has no specialties. This season, he can only play as a marginal man for 5 or 6 minutes and can be cut tomorrow summer.

The Raptors were a complete failure in the 2004 draft. Both of them were not able to develop, and they were loopholes as soon as they appeared. Aruyou usually played for a few minutes and did not play for a long time after being replaced. When the opponent attacked the basket, his teammates could not defend themselves and then came up to play for a while.

When he really meets a strong inside player who is good at scoring, Aluyu, who relies on steroids to train his muscles, can't help it, so he averages only 12 minutes per game this season, which is similar to his rookie season. The Raptors want to trade him but no one wants it.

As soon as Guo Xu came on the court, the situation changed drastically, and he was too relaxed against James.

James is a defender who rarely fouls, and he averaged only two per game. He had already fouled two in the first quarter. He was afraid that he would not be able to stay on the court and continue playing, so he would not just reach out and be close to his body on the defensive end. This year, the league called out a lot of such fouls.

James is at a disadvantage in defending Guo Xu's speed and does not fight closely together, which gives Guo Xu a lot of space to catch the ball and make moves and accelerate. When Guo Xu rushes in the counterattack, James is either over or is unable to block it by relying on a layup. This undrafter is far from Guo Xu in terms of physical fitness and is always half a beat slow.

Mitchell could see that James could not defend against the counterattack, and asked Peterson, the best defensive player in the team, to help double-team several rounds, and short Howard. As a result, Guo Xu scored a three-pointer at one time, made a breakthrough layup at one time, and attracted double-teams to assist Howard in an all-dunk shot.

Peterson is 201cm tall and weighs 100 kilograms. He is not at a disadvantage when he is swaying against the movement, and the prevention and control guards are difficult. Moreover, Guo Xu and his university are alumni, and they know the roots and bottom lines. How can they defend against this?

In the last two minutes of the second quarter, a strange landscape appeared on the court. The Raptors doubled Guo Xu in the midfield, and Payton did not shoot himself, organized the open space, and passed the ball to Guo Xu, who kept running under double cover.

Guo Xu regardless of his teammate's position, he would throw it if he could make a phone call. He scored 17 points and 1 assist in a single quarter, 47 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in the first half, almost 50+, only one point less than the Knicks' game. The most amazing thing is that this is the data he scored in 19 minutes, and his three-pointers scored another 8, and his shooting percentage was higher than that of the Knicks.

The Suns ended the first half with a 64-56 lead.

During the halftime break, online fans began to discuss whether it was possible to see 100 points in a single game in the second time? Even if Guo Xu scored less than 100, it would be easy to get to 80.

Tnt's ratings were so great, it was like broadcasting the finals in the live broadcast, and the star scored the most attracted fans.

During the intermission, Barkley said that if it weren't for Chamberlain, perhaps the top ten NBA scorers in a single game in the future would be won by Guo Xu.

Chamberlain only scored 100 points once, and the others were 70+. He never scored more than 80 points. If Guo Xu scored 80 points in this game, can we say that his scoring ability is better than Chamberlain who can't shoot three-pointers?

Many people expect him to set another record. 33 points in the halftime is an impossible task for most people, but it doesn't seem difficult for Guo Xu, who is very enthusiastic.

In the visiting team's locker room, coach Mitchell got furious and criticized the players' defense, especially the defense of the two point guards.

He is a retired player and becomes the head coach, not an academic coach. He has been playing for the Timberwolves in the later stages of his career. He has long assisted the "hard special" and has also been infected with some tough habits, which can be called "hard".

In fact, the Raptors have reached this point and are inseparable from Mitchell. He has always been a failed man.

He was very disappointed when he was a player. He was just a role player. His only experience was that he played 757 games for the Timberwolves and scored 7,161 points, ranking second only to Garnett in the history of the team.

But what team is the Timberwolves? Except for the 2003-04 season, they struggled with failure most of the time. Mitchell retired in 2002, and the time he entered the Western Conference Finals had nothing to do with him. His achievements were all obtained by being a blue-collar worker and had no personal talent at all.

Later, he started to be a coach, first as an assistant, but still failed.

When the Bucks failed, the Bobcats were hired as the sixth head coach in ten years of team history, he returned everyone's love with a 33 win and 49 loss, and made Aruyu the worst No. 8 pick in league history, losing Vince Carter, the greatest player in the Raptors' history.

At that time, the Raptors' generals could no longer coexist. Before Carter was traded, he had a conflict with Mitchell in the locker room. Carter carried Mitchell as if carrying a barbell, and then threw him onto the massage table. After leaving, Carter also fought the Raptors and killed several times.

Careful Raptors fans will find that Mitchell is as accurate as an alarm clock in the selection of players, time and length of each player's play. Once the time comes, no matter how the person performs, he will be pulled from the court. The only thing that can change this law is a foul, and the person who is troubled by foul will be replaced in advance.

After each timeout, the Raptors' offense will be a top pick-and-roll, and then it will end up being seen through by the opponent. The Raptors' passes back and forth usually end with forced shots from both wings. Mitchell often ignores the opponent's weak spots on the defensive end and refuses to take advantage of this point, choosing to make the core exhausted attack the opponent's defense strong point, and then defeat the enemy.

In Guo Xu's previous life, this guy won the Best Coach Award with an ordinary record of 47 wins and 35 losses in 2006-07, because the Raptors won many more games than last season.

How much does the Raptors' improvement in performance have to do with Mitchell? That is actually the result of the general manager, which is due to the exchange.

That season, the Raptors chose No. 1 pick Bagnani, and traded to point guard TJ Ford, center Nestrovic, and substitutes Humphries, Gabayosa, Calderon, Peterson and other groups of fierce men. Then the Raptors were eliminated 4-2 by the declined Nets in the first round.

To be honest, this man really deserves to be shit, and the Raptors can use him as a treasure and send Carter away for him.
