Chapter 656 [Dream Pursuit, Snow Boundary]
The Lakers attacked. Seeing that Guo Xu was not out of defense, Smarsh Parker dribbled to the 60-degree three-pointer on the left when he was training. Since he knew that Guo Xu was not careful, there was no need for him to lead to the right.
Parker ensured the correct goal in a familiar position and made another three-pointer, 12-11.
At the beginning, Parker scored 9 points with 3 of 4 three-pointers, with an eye-catching performance. In Guo Xu's previous life, this was Parker's peak season.
After scoring this goal, Guo Xu also gave Parker a few pals, and the cameraman just gave him a close-up shot.
Barkley smiled and said, "Jason can not only drive his teammates, but also occasionally drive his opponents. Many point guards have eye-catching data when they play against the Suns, but some have also created new highs in their personal career scores. He seems to be afraid that it will be too easy to win and create opponents for himself."
Smith said: "After winning the regular season for three consecutive MVPs in the regular season, his mentality was a little different. His self-confidence was unmatched, and he believed that he could defeat anyone."
As the sun attacked, Guo Xu continued to show the source of his strong confidence, which was his terrifying personal ability.
Teammates pulled away, and he and David Lee played pick-and-roll in the midfield. Haslem entered the low post to attract Bogut to defend, and Odom did not defend near the three-point line in the middle.
Guo Xu changed direction to the right and took cover to get rid of Parker. He scored three-pointers two meters outside the three-point line and returned one. 15-11.
Jackson shouted "Defense" at Odom on the sidelines! He could see that Guo Xu was no longer limited by single defense, and he had to double-team, even if he was still far from the three-point line.
Guo Xu changed his tricks on the defensive end. When Parker brought him to the left, he stepped forward and looked close.
On the left is the weak side of the Lakers. There are two typical routines for triangular offense. One is to form a triangle on the strong side. The low-posted star attracts double-team and passes the ball to the players who are good at shooting. The other is to catch the ball on the weak side of the star.
The Lakers' Big Three were invincible back then, and they rely on these two points. As long as the stars can ensure the efficiency of single-handed battles, they will win, assuming that there are at least two stars. Guo Xu is very familiar with the routine of triangular offense, can understand the opponent's thoughts, and predict the opponent's next step.
As soon as he stepped forward, Parker had two choices. Passing to Odom or Bogut would definitely be a higher chance of passing the low post, because the possibility of making mistakes in direct horizontal transfer without a pick-and-roll is higher.
Sure enough, Parker relied on his height to the low post on the left.
Bogut received the basketball, which was as incredible as electric shock, and like a miracle, passing through his life, unlike any meaning. This is the green light, so unique.
He leaned against David Li twice, turned around in the middle, and made a close hook shot with his body advantage. 15 to 13.
David Lee played as a power forward in college and also a power forward. He often played guest center after the Suns. He had obvious weaknesses in the defense of the penalty area and was not good at defending Bogut.
In the Suns' attack, Guo Xu leaned on the side with the cover to catch the ball and defeated Parker with the ball. This time Kobe couldn't bear it and came to double-team. Guo Xu broke through to the bottom line and saw Kobe with his own light, jumped up and passed the ball behind his head to the bottom corner.
When Guo Xu was out of the ball, Bale would go to the right and run to give him space. When he attacked with the ball, Bale would not go anywhere in the bottom corner. He prepared very well, and took a three-pointer and entered the net hollowly. 18 to 13.
The applause from home fans was even more intense. The Suns' offensive efficiency was terrifying. The only one who missed the shot was Guo Xu's ultra-long three-pointer. Today, Guo Xu combined the scores, which was more difficult to defend than he simply wanted to get high scores.
The Lakers attacked, Parker transported it to the right side this time and was preparing to lob Kobe. The boss hasn't touched the ball for several rounds. Anyway, Guo Xu no longer lets him go, it's time to pass.
Parker was thinking about it and found that Guo Xu had taken two steps back and went to Kobe without the ball to double-team, double-team, and went...
The Lakers suddenly discovered that if Guo Xu's method was used by other teams, Kobe would not be able to play low. Kobe, who is really defensive, is not easy to catch the ball in his favorite position.
Parker could not force the pass, and got an open position again. He chose to jump into a three-pointer. This time the rhythm was not good. David Lee stuck Bogut, and Haslem grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu to launch a counterattack.
The Suns completed an attack in 4 seconds. Guo Xu received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt to score a three-pointer. The choice of shooting was not very good, and Parker's interference was in place, but no one thought that it was unreasonable for him to play like this, and it was not surprising that he was used to it.
Odom grabbed the rebound, Kobe asked for the ball in the backcourt, dribbling the ball through the half, no longer giving Parker a quick chance to easily play, and he beat Bale's big two-pointer in one step inside the three-point line.
In the second half, a strange landscape appeared on the court. Except for Blake and Vujasic, the other four of the Suns shrank near the penalty area and blocked the penalty area. Kobe was often forced to attack by two people at the low post, and there was no pass on Parker who was released on the outside.
Moreover, Parker, the point guard, no longer knows what he does on the court. Kobe always asks for the ball in the backcourt as soon as the baseline ball is sent. Parker can only pass it to him, otherwise he will have to accept the "death glare".
Which one is more accurate, either an open shot or a forced double-team, is more accurate, and most people can calculate it by wiping their toes. In the second half, Kobe controls the ball, and the Lakers' offensive efficiency has dropped significantly, and the score difference has quickly widened.
The Suns led 39 to 25 in the first quarter.
Guo Xu made 5 of 9 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 12 points and 7 assists; Kobe made 4 of 10 shots, scoring 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
The two sides sent substitutes in the second quarter, and the five Suns were Payton, Ariza, Howard, Jones, and Valaijo.
Five Lakers: Monta Ellis, Devin George, Luke Walton, Brian Cook, and Turiav.
The gap between the two sides quickly widened to more than 20 points. The Suns were clear in the organization of Payton. He and Valejo played pick-and-roll, and after evacuating the inside, they found an opportunity to pass the ball to their teammates. Howard was responsible for the weak side singles, and the other two were responsible for receiving and shooting three-pointers.
When defending, Ariza defended Ellis, while others joined forces to defend the penalty area.
After Butler was injured and absent, the Lakers' lineup was not stronger than their previous life. Even if they had the No. 1 pick, they still chose Ellis in the second round.
Ellis is a ruffian with tattoos, a double cancer on the locker room and the court. He just plays randomly, and he has no tactics.
During training, this guy dared to challenge Kobe to fight alone, and his personal ability is good. As long as he appears, his shooting frequency is very high. However, he is 191cm tall and weighs 84 kilograms. He has obvious shortcomings in the shooting guard. The coaching staff hopes that he will transform, but he obviously cannot. If he can control the rhythm, he will not fall into the second round before he is selected.
It is really important for players to have a suitable tactical system. In Guo Xu's previous life, Ellis joined the Warriors. He was lucky. He met the old Nelson who did not pay attention to defense. He became the team in the second season and was very suitable for partnering with Byron Davis.
The Warriors don't need Ellis' organization. He just needs to use his strong impact skills and actively take fast breaks. Davis can also be responsible for the defense No. 2 position, while Ellis is responsible for the main defense fast point guard.
Different from the Lakers, "Zen Master" Jackson's tactics are based on positional battles and fast attacks as supplements. Without point guards and Ellis, his position is No. 1.
Just as the Suns don't send double guards, Guo Xu is not easy to play without the ball, Ellis is not easy to play fast attacks, and the Lakers lack people to deliver shells to him.
