Guo Xu rarely talks trash on the court. Today, he is preparing to stimulate Parker to ensure victory. Parker's breakthrough is very important to the Spurs. As long as he limits his performance, the Suns' chances of winning will increase greatly.

The Suns had to show their momentum in the first game. Statistics show that the probability of the team that won the first game of the Western Conference Finals finally advancing to the finals reached 78.

Guo Xu attaches great importance to this year's championship because the Suns are suffering from injuries. As long as he leads the team to defend the title, the evaluation he receives will be unprecedentedly high. On the contrary, if he loses this year, it will be meaningless to wait for Stadameer next year and Marion will come back to win the championship. There are two more stars in the team, and he has not yet been able to establish a dynasty for three consecutive championships.

This is the gap between heaven and hell. He won the fans' record of Guo Xu for the rest of his life and lost the fans' record of Guo Xu for the rest of his life this season. Under this premise, he would win by any means.

Parker was in an open position and gritted his teeth and made a three-pointer. Guo Xu was standing there without even stretching his hand, but the ball hit the iron.

Three-point shooting has been not Parker's conventional weapon for many years, and in his first four seasons of the league, he averaged only two shots per game. Last year, his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 27.6, and he basically did not shoot three-pointers in the playoffs.

Many fans thought this was Parker's weakness and suggested that he practice three-pointers in the summer. He said in an interview: "That was the result of my discussion with **Vic. We have many great pitchers around us, and I can penetrate and create opportunities for everyone, which is better. I agree not to shoot three-pointers anymore and let others come to shoot."

This season, Parker turned his three-point shooting into a mid-range jump shot, and he scored only 11 three-pointers in total throughout the season. His overall shooting percentage reached 54.8, and his real shooting percentage and free throw rate were also rising. It was no coincidence that he became an All-Star this season.

However, Guo Xu, a point guard who relies on breakthroughs and attacks, is not afraid of not shooting three-pointers. He is best at defending the face frame breakthrough.

Parker is an alternative defender who relies heavily on breakthroughs. He averaged 6.7 shots at the basket this season, hitting 4.7 shots, and hitting a shooting percentage of 70.5, accounting for 46.9 of the total shots. This is a terrifying data. You should know that the tough "Wolf King" Garnett averaged only 4.1 shots at the basket, which is 5 more minutes longer than Parker.

Parker's mid-range shot is much worse, with an average shooting percentage of less than 40. He will be very accurate in the future and still needs to practice now.

The Suns are attacking, Guo Xu needs the ball as soon as he passes the half. The Spurs swingman dares not easily let the ball go Bale and Blake who can shoot three-pointers to double-team. It is not easy for inside players to double-team outside the three-point line, which is very uncomfortable.

Guo Xu beat Parker one meter outside the three-point line, dribbled the ball under his crotch and took a small step to the right. He dribbled the ball behind his right hand and moved the ball across the back and retreated, and scored a three-pointer in the middle.

Guo Xu also likes to lean back when he makes a move. This move is to bet on the feel. The defender is attracted by fake moves and it is difficult to block it if he retreats slightly, unless he is more than 10m taller than him and has excellent arm spread. When facing players above 195m taller, Guo Xu will not shoot, and his speed will become the opponent's nightmare again.

Parker is 188m tall and weighs 84 kilograms. How to play against someone of this height? Guo Xu has experience in the first time cycle. He first shots he made against Martin Cliffs.

Parker defended well, but he could not block the eye and tried to close the eye as much as possible. The ball entered 11 to 2.

Guo Xu made three three-pointers at the beginning, and the home fans cheered, and **Vic took the lead in requesting a timeout.

After the player left the court, **Vic immediately criticized Parker for not fulfilling the defense he required before the game. He arranged for Parker to try his best to disrupt Guo Xu's shooting rhythm.

Parker was helpless but dared not refute. It was so easy to be close to Guo Xu? He dribbles very well and is more agile.

In the Spurs game, it is common for **Vic to call Parker to the front and curse him. Not only Parker, he also often scolds Ginobili. Fortunately, the Spurs did not choose Guo Xu back then, and went to the Spurs with Guo Xu's casual personality. In the time loop, he had to kill **Vic a hundred times, and the two could not coexist.

**Wich hates people like Guo Xu who like to show off. He will never allow players to make guest appearances in movies, let alone starring in movies and musicals.

Guo Xu thinks **Vic is suitable for coaching players rather than superstars. He likes to destroy the players' personality and does not allow players to take on the court and exert their personal abilities with all their strength. Even if Ginobili is an exception, his playing time is controlled. Players like Iverson, Guo Xu, and James will be disabled even if they are in the Spurs.

**Vicci shouted at Parker: "Put him tighter. He said we are dirty and you don't do anything? Do you want him to beat you up cleanly? Eliminate the Spurs? You are taller than him, don't act like a woman."

He knocked on the tactical board. "Robert assisted in defense, let Haslem shoot, Tim guarded and couldn't let Jason Guo play so easily."

**Vicci is most annoying to singles players like Guo Xu because he doesn't like to arrange double-teams. The Spurs system emphasizes single-team defenses, strictly preventing role players and outside three-pointers. When the stars make a lot of shots, the role players in the final quarter are cold and have no confidence in taking action.

There are often stars who score high scores against the Spurs, but the overall offensive rhythm is prone to disconnection and cannot play smoothly.

Therefore, the Spurs often lose to teams that stars are good at single-handedly challenged, and they are not afraid of tactics. They are prone to accidents when encountering unreasonable stars like Kobe, Durant, and Stadameier. Even Bonchi Wells broke out in his previous life when the Kings played against the Spurs, scoring 23.2 points and 12 rebounds in six games in the playoffs.

Because of the butterfly effect caused by Guo Xu, this historical event has been erased, and the Kings have not made it to the playoffs this year.

Now **Vic has to admit that the familiar style of play that the Spurs don't work for Guo Xu. The game continues, and the Spurs begin to double-team Guo Xu and speed up the round of conversion.

Guo Xu is not forced to play anymore, so he attracts double teams to pass the ball and finds teammates. Whoever can easily make a phone call will be able to make a shot.

Once the Spurs have a wide range of formations, he scores, and this double team is not easy to break because he has strong breakthroughs and Duncan is still guarding the basket. Duncan has super interfering shooting ability and does not need to jump too high. A 230m wingspan can block the line of sight.

The weakness of the Suns lineup is that they lack attack power in the inside line. It is only a little better to send David Lee, and their defense will be much worse. It is impossible to kill the Spurs easily in one stroke. Being able to sweep in the first two rounds is related to the weak opponent's strength.

Haslem was very successful and quickly made two mid-range shots, and Bale also made a three-pointer.

In the regular season, Guo Xu actively scored the balls four times when he played the Spurs, in order to cooperate with his teammates to help them find confidence, and the Suns will not fall into the Spurs' rhythm.

Valaijo had no performance on the offensive end, and was completely deflated by Duncan. His shooting percentage was too low when he left the penalty area. Duncan directly let him go to Haslem to save, showing his top-level defensive awareness.

The Spurs were also difficult to score. Parker and Bowen were deflated. The ball was mostly in the hands of Duncan and Ginobili. The Suns maintained their advantage with Guo Xu's performance and led 28-20 in the first quarter.

Guo Xu scored 15 points and 4 assists in person, while Parker scored 2 points and 1 assist, with a significant gap.

**Wich knew that Parker could not deal with Guo Xu alone, and was having a headache. What to do when the Spurs were in trouble in the second quarter. The GDP group came to rest together, but the Suns did not replace Guo Xu and asked him to take the substitute.

Parker couldn't even defend Guo Xu, and veteran Van Exel, who was about to retire, was even worse. After Nestrovic appeared, the defense range was very small, just near the penalty area.
