Chapter 697 [One person has done the Spurs with two stars! 】
Zhang Heli shouted: "Good ball! Guo Xu's technical advantages are reflected. It's time to play like this, he can break through anyone."
Xu Jicheng also said: "He plays more fast breaks like this more efficiently than his teammates' shooting."
The Spurs will not let the Suns catch up easily. Ginobili relied on Duncan's cover to break through. Valaijo was chosen to foul. Ginobili made both free throws. 34 to 51.
The Spurs are strong, and the breakthrough ability of the two defenders is essential. If you only defend Duncan alone, Valejo is not afraid, at least he can withstand it. If you are dislocating against Ginobili, Parker is really a big deal. Therefore, Guo Xu's defense in this series is also very critical, and you must chase and defend quickly.
The Suns attacked, Blake organized, and Guo Xu relied on Valaijo to run to the right without the ball at the bottom line to receive the ball. His teammates moved to the left, only him and Blake.
Parker caught up, but Duncan did not come out to double-team, and Ginobili was not easy to short Blake and double-team Guo Xu. After entering the playoffs, Blake was very accurate, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 41.7%.
After the bottom corner was faded, Guo Xu changed his direction and moved horizontally on the left side. He held the ball with his left hand and moved his right hand to make a false action. Parker followed him and Guo Xu immediately changed his direction to the bottom line and successfully took a step forward to the board and throw the ball.
I must let go of Valecho's defense cover, even if he has a 230cm wingspan, it is a little slower and the ball enters.
36 to 51, the 19th point in the individual.
The Spurs attacked, Parker and Horry broke through the pick-and-roll, Guo Xu bypassed the screen and blocked him again, maintaining more than one step to prevent breakthroughs but not shots. Parker made an emergency stop and missed the mid-range shot under Guo Xu's interference, and Vallejoka and Howard grabbed the rebound.
It is recognized that Guo Xu is Parker's nemesis. Parker is the second scorer of the Spurs. He averaged 21.5 points per game in the first two rounds of the series. Under Guo Xu's defense, he averaged 15 points per game in the first four games, and his shooting percentage was only 42%.
The Suns' offense was exactly the same as before. Guo Xu first relied on cover to get rid of the ball, and then made a single against Parker on the right side. The Suns played like this in the last game, but Guo Xu was not in good condition. Today was different. He practiced his shooting, practiced both mid-range shots and three-pointers, and he scored a super long three-pointer at the beginning, and felt hot.
If someone doesn't come to double-team, he will never finish the fight. Blake and his side attract defense are the most reliable. Ginobili goes forward to double-team according to the coach's requirements. Guo Xu dribbles the ball and breaks the bottom line to attract Ginobili to stay away from Blake and passes the ball to 70 degrees.
Blake took action without adjusting the ball, and the ball was hollowed into the net.
39 to 51, Guo Xu had the fifth assist.
D'Antoni stood on the sidelines and applauded Blake. This is the offense he wanted to see. If there are spaces, he must make a shot. As long as the role players can help Guo Xu create singles opportunities, the Suns will not be afraid of the Spurs or any team. Loss is completely due to the role players' misperforming and cannot play at the level of training.
The Spurs cannot double-team Guo Xu on the weak side. Passing the ball is just a blank. No matter how poor Valaijo's offense is, he still has a base. Duncan cannot save it and let him go at the basket, so he can only rely on the wings to assist in defense.
Moreover, today Guo Xu did not only shoot from the outside, but his two-pointer number increased.
The Spurs attacked, Blake did not let Ginobili get rid of it easily, Horry received the ball and gave Duncan a low post. Duncan turned around in the middle to get the ball and feinted it, then took a step forward and into the basket.
When Valejo saw that it was not possible, he immediately fouled Duncan and did not shoot the ball.
Duncan was sent to the free throw line, with one of two free throws, 39 to 52.
In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu is not responsible for the organization, so the Spurs are not able to double-team. **Vic doesn't like double-teaming, let alone double-teaming without the ball? Guo Xu received the ball on the side and did not get rid of Parker. He got a single chance. He dribbled under the crotch and then stepped out of the three-point line, and hit Parker with a three-pointer at 45 degrees.
42 to 52, the individual scored 22.
Home fans applauded wildly. When many people thought the Suns were about to end, Guo Xu narrowed the gap to only 10 points in one wave.
Next, the two sides continued to fight for the offense, and the score was stalemate. Guo Xu scored 29 points in the first half, and the Suns were 5 points behind 58 to 63 at home, and the outcome was full of suspense.
It was the Spurs fans' turn to panic. The Spurs couldn't defend Guo Xu. 5 points were no different. They caught up with them after two three-pointers.
During the halftime break, Zhang Heli commented: "Today, Guo Xu is likely to score 50+ or even 60 points. He often performs crazy in the playoffs, and he has no reservations, just a shot."
Xu Jicheng said: "There is only one player who has scored more than 60 points in the playoffs, that is, Guo Xu. If the Spurs still let him play singles in the second half, he can really do it."
The second half of the game began.
The Suns still sent an attacking lineup, Guo Xu, Blake, Bell, Kukoc, and Haslem.
Valaijo rested because his offense was not good enough. Haslem was responsible for the main defense of Duncan. Kukoc knew how to play correctly when he came on the court, had a range and could quickly transfer the ball. His role was very similar to that of the Spurs' Horry, and three-pointers were more accurate.
After playing two rounds, the Spurs scored first, and Parker slid the baseline without the ball to get rid of Guo Xu's catch and layup. 58 to 65.
Parker clenched his fists and roared, turned his head and found that Guo Xu was also applauding him with a smile on his face.
This smile looks from the bottom of my heart, which makes Parker feel a little embarrassed when he sees it, as if he is saying: Play well on the offensive end, and you will die very ugly next time, and you will be able to rest in peace.
When the Suns attacked, Kukoc provided a cover for Guo Xu in the midfield. Guo Xu sprinted away from Parker's pass from Blake, and passed Finley with speed and entered the three-point line.
Bowen and Duncan retreated together to make up for defense. Guo Xu flew forward to throw the ball to avoid the block, and the ball entered the net with a hollow.
60 to 65, the 31st point in the individual.
The Spurs attacked, and Ginobili took cover to catch the ball, and dribble suddenly accelerated over Haslem. Kukochi was attracted by Finley and was unable to make up for defense. Ginobili drove straight into the right side and was ready to end the attack with a dunk to increase morale.
At this time, the person who was the least likely to make up for defense appeared. Guo Xu had emptied Parker's counter-attack area and jumped up with all his strength and pressed it on the basketball accurately.
Even if Guo Xu stopped going to the gym during the fourth time cycle, his upper limbs were stronger than Ginobili who had been avoiding the fight. Ginobili felt a huge force coming, and he lost his balance in the air, and he was covered with the ball and flipped to the ground.
However, Guo Xu perfectly controlled the balance in the air, shrank his body, landed in one go, and rushed out to make a quick attack.
Haslem picked up the ball and passed it to Blake, who rushed to the front. Finley could only follow Blake first, otherwise he would make a three-pointer at the open position.
Blake passed the ball, Guo Xu sprinted straight to catch the ball, Parker stood in front of the reasonable collision zone, and he firmly believed that Guo Xu would hit him if he didn't have time to slow down. If he insisted on changing direction, he would easily hurt his knees.
Guo Xu gritted his teeth and did not intend to change direction. He often encountered such scenes in the time loop. How did he do it? The answer is to jump over. He rarely dunks this season, and he doesn't know how to dunk it if he doesn't do it at an empty spot, but he has won the dunk king, so he doesn't have to jump.
Guo Xu took off in front of Parker without hesitation, and he struck Parker's head without help, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand with his right hand!
62 to 65, the 33rd point in the individual.
Everyone was stunned. After five seconds of stunned roar, Parker was also stunned. He had long forgotten that Guo Xu had the ability to leap and dunk. Pierre was 193cm taller than him.
The home fans shouted MVP, and were shocked by Guo Xu's performance. The big screen gave a replay. Ginobili fell down and fell for a while before getting up. It was too fierce.
