Chapter 747 [Five-star Lakers, unscrupulous]

Before the third game began, Artest started provocative mode, saying that the Lakers would defeat the Suns at home.

Guo Xu scored 47 points on the field and made Atai furious. If the opponent's main attacker was a swingman, he would get on. But his speed could not prevent the point guard from being able to do anything, so he could only use his big mouth to vent his resentment.

Atai's mentality was unbalanced on the offensive end, and his performance of only 11 points was terrible. What's even more depressing is that he put himself above the team and kept trying to fight Roy alone, which led to the collapse of the team's offensive system in the last quarter.

Artai thought it was difficult for Kobe to fight the Suns' defensive experts alone, and it was easier to fight Roy, and he had more reasons to take more actions. His idea might be correct, but he overestimated his ability. When he was at the Pacers, he often thought that his ability was stronger than O'Neal Jr. and was the boss of the Pacers.

After Arte spoke, Kobe felt very unhappy. The boss of the Lakers is Kobe. If he provokes his opponent and drives the whole team, is it his turn to say?

The Suns also accepted an interview with reporters after training in the morning. Guo Xu did not fight back against Artest, but admitted his opponent, which surprised Los Angeles reporters.

"The Lakers do have a chance to beat the Suns. Their lineup is very strong. If they can cooperate and unite, it is normal to win the Suns in one or two games in the series. In my opinion, the Lakers have five stars, Bogut, Odom, and Ellis, who are very capable, especially Ellis, who gives him the ball and is a defender who is 20+5 per game. I am sure of this."

The reporter was shocked. "You are so optimistic about Ellis?"

"I have been optimistic about him since last season's matchup. He has excellent physical fitness and skilled dribbling skills, but lacks experience and needs to practice shooting hard. I won't be surprised if he averages 25 points per game with these two points. Of course, he has to play smarter."

It's not nonsense that Guo E said that Ellis would become a 20+5 star. His personal ability is really strong, with strong offense and weak defense. However, he must have a suitable tactical system. When he reaches the Suns, he can only develop in the direction of the sixth man. He is not suitable to start with Guo Xu, because he has to play No. 2 to sacrifice the team's defense.

The team that suits Ellis is probably the Nuggets, and George Carl doesn't care about defense at all. It's normal to be a shooting guard at 191cm.

The reporter asked: "What do you think of Bogut?"

"His draft template is Duncan. Isn't it natural to have the potential to become a star? I think he will become a double-double sooner or later."

The reporter asked: "If the Lakers' lineup is strong, why can't they beat the Suns? Don't you think the Suns' lineup is stronger?"

"The Suns' lineup is of course stronger." Guo Xu smiled and said, "And I like to study the opponent's lineup and decide how to play based on the characteristics of the players. After much research, I sometimes think about how to help them play their strengths if I were their teammates. I think this is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and winning every battle."

The reporter asked: "You once said that Roy's template was Kobe. Now many fans think so, but he said he hopes he is Pippen of the Suns. What do you think?"

Guo Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think his statement must be corrected. He can use anyone as a template, just don't choose Pippen. Isn't this cursing himself? Doesn't he know what Pippen has been like recently?"

“…”

Pippen often criticizes Guo Xu and everyone knows that Guo Xu is not polite to this celebrity. This person has really failed.

His good partner Jordan's various investments and Nike's share of money is now close to $1 billion, but Pippen went bankrupt due to various investment failures. There are news that at the age of 42, he is planning to return to play in a low-level professional league abroad to make money.

Roy's previous life ended very miserable. Guo Xu didn't want this honest new teammate to go on that old path. In addition, Guo Xu said this to change the topic. What would Roy think about being Pippen and Sir, Marion? Did he want to snatch the shift and become the second leader before he finished his rookie season?

That night, the game was held at Staples Center on time.

When the players appeared, the home fans cheered for the Lakers, hoping that they could win the Suns and not be swept.

CCTV5 live broadcast game, Zhang Heli said: "Guo Xu affirmed the strength of the Lakers in an interview and was not booed when he appeared. I didn't expect that his most optimistic player was Monta Ellis, who was substitute."

Yu Jia smiled and said, "I feel that Guo Xu is blaming Kobe. Esley averaged about 10 points per game in the Lakers, but Guo Xu said that he has the ability to score 20 points, which implies that Kobe is abolishing his teammates."

Zhang Heli smiled and said: "I will know whether he is going to hack Kobe next season. The Lakers have no salary space and it is difficult for them to renew Ellis. If Ellis wants more ball rights, it is impossible for him to choose to cut salary and renew contracts and stay with the Lakers."

Both sides made the starter, with the Suns five players: Guo Xu, Bale, Roy, Marion, and Stardameier.

Five Lakers: Ellis, Kobe, Artest, Odom, and Bogut.

The other two ball-handling conditions were sluggish. "Zen Master" Jackson could only reuse Ellis and let him play the No. 1 starter. Although he could only run back and forth when he started, it was difficult to have the opportunity to attack with the ball, so he could only occasionally fight back.

Ellis is full of energy, and being a substitute is a bit of a waste. As long as he does not enter garbage time, Kobe averages more than 40 minutes per game, so the two of them cannot stagger their playing time.

If these people were at their peak in their previous lives, this series could be said to be the All-Star Game. Guo Xu was interviewed and praised the Lakers' role players because he knew their potential. If they left the Lakers in the future, they could also attract attention by relying on their predictions.

Kobe glared at Guo Xu fiercely. He already knew the content of the pre-match interview and felt that Guo Xu was just mocking him for being unable to lead the team. He believed that Guo Xu was using any means to win and wanted to provoke the relationship between him and his teammates.

If Kobe said what he thought, many people on the Lakers would sneer.

You still need to be sowed about your relationship with your teammates? You don’t talk much to your teammates in the locker room.

Bogut won the jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first. Esley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Guo Xu let out the man he was optimistic about two steps away from the defense of breakout but not the attack, and knew that he was not reliable to shoot three-pointers now.

Ellis passed the ball to Kobe according to the coach's arrangement, and Bale immediately defended closely.

Kobe dribbled the ball horizontally and passed it to Bogut, who was in the right 45-degree position. This was the arrangement of "Zen Master" Jackson. He believed that Bogut had an advantage in playing against Sir, so he asked Kobe to pass the ball and then play by himself after Valejo came on the field. Artest was in the right corner, and the three formed a triangle.

Bogut's body is indeed stronger than Sir, and he also has excellent low-post steps. He pushed twice and turned to the bottom line and made a shooting shot. 0 to 2.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and all his teammates pulled away. Artest let go of Roy and double-teamed Guo Xu.

In the last game, the Lakers were scared by Guo Xu's shot. Several defenders could not defend alone. Ellis, who had strong attacks and weak defenses, would definitely be unlucky to go on the game.

Guo Xu passed the ball to Roy. The latter attracted Odom to make up for defense and passed the ball to the left bottom line. Bogut made up for defense again. Marion made a move and passed the ball to the high ball. Xiao Si took the free dunk with both hands. 2-2.

Double-team Guo Xu is destined to be a free time. Solars have achieved record-breaking results, not just because of the stars' personal singles ability. They are all selfless this season, no one can swipe data, and they will quickly transfer the ball to create opportunities for teammates.
