Popovich did not arrange for double-teams without a ball, and he had never done this in the previous few games.

In his opinion, having double-teams with balls can also prevent other positions by rotating. Double-teaming without balls is equivalent to giving up the game. How can the Spurs give up this key battle? It turns out that this is a mistake, but Popovich doesn't give up because he is used to dealing with stars such as Kobe, McGrady, etc., and the effect is very good.

Many fans in his previous life felt that the Spurs could not defend Kobe. In his career, he averaged 39.5 minutes per game against the Spurs, and he could score 25.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists. His actual shooting percentage was only 44.4%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 31.3%.

Although in the eyes of many Komi, 44.4% rounding is 100 million, it is really difficult for the Lakers to win as a core person, and they have to rely on efficient teammates to "support" them. Kobe's record against the Spurs was 39 wins and 43 losses. Most of the winning games were obtained by the Lakers when they had fat men in the early stage, and it would be more embarrassing after they didn't have fat men.

Kobe scored about 40 points in the playoffs. The only time he played 50+ was to play an overtime game against the Suns. He didn't even have that game in this life. He rarely exploded outside the three-point line, and his mid-range shooting rate was not high. He said that he dared to take responsibility if he shot more shots. When he felt bad, he was undercover. The Spurs' strategy was just right to deal with Kobe.

Guo Xu is different. He has always understood that offensive efficiency is more important than data. He will help his teammates improve efficiency. Once he finds his touch, he hits more terrifying and is simply unstoppable.

He mainly plays without the ball today, and may break through immediately after receiving the ball and shooting. When the Spurs players come up, the ball is often shot, and the double-teaming effect is not good.

The Spurs' double-teaming effect in the first two games is related to the overall strategy of the Suns. In order to strengthen defense, D'Antoni arranged the Suns' double-guards to be on the court for not long, and most of the time was Guo Xu, Bale, and Howard.

The defense is indeed better, but it is not a double guard. Guo Xu mainly attacks with the ball, and it is difficult to get a mobile phone after being double-teamed. It is better to pass the ball to the open teammates than to double-team strong shots. Blake will be very uncomfortable when he goes to the Spurs defense. He has a good sense of passing, does not break through, does not act randomly, and is just a ball protection organization. Occasionally, one shot is more accurate than Howard.

Howard did not play, and the team's offense was smoother. At this time, the coaching staff felt that he should be traded and left to be incompatible with Guo Xu. He could indeed make the second scoring point, but he was not a qualified second-in-command because he was not aware of passing the ball.

If Howard has an excellent passing awareness and can combine breakthrough and score shots, he can play like Pippen, or even be the boss of the team. Joe Johnson is an example. This is a luxury. If Howard has that potential, he will not fall to the end of the first round in the draft.

Guo Xu scored 25 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and took action when receiving the ball in the position. He attracted double teams when he was quick to counterattack before passing. Blake and Haslem seized two opportunities.

He scored 54 points and 7 assists in three quarters, and was about to 60+10. The Suns overtook 7 points 92-85.

In the final quarter, Guo Xu continued to play, and Blake did not rest. Howard replaced Bale and added an offensive point to the ball. Valaijo and James Jones in the interior were one big and four small, with three points in the mid-range shot.

Duncan lost two consecutive games and was unable to do so. In the last quarter, he faced Valejo's single defense and made 1 of 5 shots. Parker played very positively and wanted to score more points to save face, but he also made 1 of 5 shots.

The two Spurs performed abnormally, while the Suns broke out collectively. The Spurs strictly guarded against Guo Xu and increased the double-teaming efforts. Guo Xu began to pass the ball. Howard, Jones and Haslem all received the ball and scored, and his assists were successfully in double digits.

During the counterattack, Guo Xu scored three-pointers and scored with the ball. He also scored with a foul. He led the team to a 18-4 wave to widen the gap to 21 points.

The Spurs replaced veteran Horry and wanted to increase the score of the outside scorer. Horry was disappointing this time, with 0 of 2 shots.

When shooting key balls, Horry occasionally has a masterpiece, but overall, he is a substitute power forward with no 20 minutes per game this season, with 5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, a shooting percentage of 38.4%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.8%. If he stands in front of him, he will not score well.

Popovich called a timeout with 5 minutes and 36 seconds left, simply gave up the game and replaced the marginal man. The Suns also replaced all the main players to ensure that there is no need to let the core continue to fight after the victory, and if the injury is not worth the loss.

The Suns have the upper hand in the Fringe competition, veteran Payton played and organized the offensive organization. The Fringe Fringe Josh Powell and David Lee partnered with the inside and were very athletic. Ariza and Jones were also in good health, supporting the team's wing defense, making it difficult for the Spurs to score points on the bench.

The Suns won 30 points in the final game, and the Spurs defended in the final quarter only scored 10 points in total.

The battle between Spurs Tianwang Mountain can be called a collapse because they were 19 points in the first half, with a difference of 49 points.

The reason for this magical reversal is that Guo Xu's shooting percentage in the second half was too high, which was completely different from the first half. He found the feel from the second half of the second quarter.

He played 43 minutes in the game, made 21 of 33 shots, 9 of 16 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, scored 61 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, with an overall shooting percentage of 63.6%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 56.3%.

In fact, similar to the defensive methods in the previous two games, the Spurs were very tight against Guo Xu. The double-teaming effect was effective before, reducing his shooting rate. This time, he couldn't cover it anymore and his shooting was too accurate.

The Suns made 19 of 37 three-pointers, which was a huge difference from the Spurs' three-pointers with 3 of 12.

At the press conference, the reporter asked Popovich to evaluate the competition.

Popovich said angrily: "What's there to evaluate? We can't stop Jason. He can beat anyone one on one. He has amazing speed and great endurance. He keeps running. Even if we double-team him, he can find a phone. He is completely a monster."

This is a victory for superstar basketball over team basketball, and it is also Popovich's most hated way to lose. It is not that his own players do not work hard, but that the opposite stars are too crazy.

The Spurs players are very low-key, and they only say that they will fight to the home court and are eager to turn the tables. The GDP combination is not only very tacit understanding on the court, but also off the court. They never comment on Guo Xu, nor do they say harsh words, and advance and retreat together.

The Suns praised Guo Xu unanimously, and D'Antoni said: "This is a game that was fought by Jason's personal ability. If he didn't have him, we would definitely be the one who lost a crushing defeat. He is the greatest player."

Guo Xu was the focus of the media and expressed his thoughts: "I never thought that this game would lose, because we rarely lose in a row. I don't believe that a team can beat the Suns three games in a row. That's a daydream."

He paused for a moment and then said, "When talking about dreaming, I remembered "Inception", which is the movie I invested in. This movie that I made with my friends has officially started. I play the second male lead in it. I have to finish the playoffs as soon as possible and join the crew, and strive to create a positive image, with both cultural and sport blossoms, and promote the film culture. I hope everyone will pay more attention."

"..." This is not the first time that the reporters have seen Guo Xu advertise and sell movies at the press conference.

Do you have any special feelings after winning? What about your integrity? Do you really just treat playing basketball as a side job, right?

Guo Xu is actually helping his teammates relieve stress. The more he is indifferent, the more he dares to perform. The boss no longer takes his opponent seriously, what are they afraid of?
