Chapter 1095 [The quiet puppet, the defense around the back]

During the intermission, everyone was discussing how many points Guo Xu would score today, and he could continue playing without widening the gap.

Many fans on the Internet also discussed George Carl's coaching level, believing that he was seriously overestimated. Any coach who can make the opponent's star score 30 points in a single quarter must have very poor adaptability on the spot.

Although he is a well-known "Qiansheng coach" in the league and has a very deep qualification, Carl has not received much respect. Almost everyone who has worked with him commented that "this old man is sick"!

He likes to criticize his players, and he always has conflicts with others wherever he goes, and of course he will be criticized by others.

For example, when he had a conflict with Ray Allen in the Bucks, the two of them criticized each other in the face of the media and finally left.

Kenyon Martin commented on Carl more intensely, "Every player who has played for this bad guy can't stand him. He is really selfish, miserable and timid, no wonder he will be fired wherever he goes. He is definitely the worst coach I have ever played for. He also said that Melon doesn't like defense, and he never teaches defense himself!"

When he was young, he had a nickname called "Crazy Carl", with the labels "vicious" and "rude". He has always been controversial and often speaks amazingly. In the parallel world, in the 2013 playoffs, Carl wanted Iguodala to destroy Curry, but this matter was later exposed because the upright Iguodala jumped out of the Nuggets' last year's high-paying contract and joined the Warriors.

In Carl's life, "struggle" has always been the two most important words. He also won twice in the fight against cancer. Perhaps this is a footnote to his life.

Of course, no matter what data Guo Xu plays today, Carl cannot arrange for players to destroy Guo Xu. Even if he arranges it, the Kings will not dare to implement this "tactics", unless this person does not want to be in the NBA in the future, or even in the United States.

Vujasic is a clear example. Because he maliciously injured Guo Xu once, his career in playing back to Europe was not smooth. He did not win the favor of Sharapova, and his whole life deviated from the direction.

In the second half, the Kings' tactics were still to hand over the ball to Harden, and they played the same star tactics as the Lakers.

In the third quarter, Harden suddenly broke out, scoring 19 points with a breakout and shot. He also assisted Stein to score two points at the basket, assisted Belinelli to make a three-pointer, leading the team to overtake the score.

Harden seems to be omnipotent. He also grabbed 4 rebounds in a single quarter, and his data is heading towards a super triple-double.

The Lakers were behind 85-92 and entered the final quarter. Guo Xu scored 15 points in a single quarter and made three three-pointers, all of which were made by Hibert when he was on the court.

Carl was convinced and said that he would never let Hibert play in the final quarter. He was stunned when he encountered a pick-and-roll and could only move around the penalty area and could not protect his backcourt rebounds.

Guo Xu scored 54 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and performed bravely, but his teammates were silent and couldn't find the feeling. The others only scored 31 points in total.

This cannot be blamed on the lack of strength of the character players, but it is determined by tactical play. They will have too few mobile phones, basically they are determined to catch the ball and shoot. It is difficult to ensure the feel when they shoot occasionally.

Guo Xu used to like to control the number of shots to help his teammates open it up. From the perspective of winning, it is best to keep the number of shots of the core players of the championship team within 20 times. If this number exceeds this number, it will definitely affect the team's cooperation.

The score was behind, Lakers players, including Guo Xu, defended seriously, but still couldn't defend it. Harden was in a draw. In addition to making 7 three-pointers, Harden's free throws were also amazing, with 17 free throws in just three quarters.

If he continues to play like this, Harden is likely to break his career single-game scoring record, and he has scored 48 points.

Tyronlu had a headache. It was very successful to help Guo Xu brush data today, but if the Lakers play without losing in the end, it would be bad. The Kings were not strong at first sight, and losing to them would be a surprise.

In order to better defend Harden, Tyron Lu replaced Andre Robertson, but Guo Xu stood up and "voluntarily".

"I'll come to defend Harden." Guo Xu directly arranged the tactics. "Devin goes to the main defense and control guard, be more active when taking the fast break. I will pass you as long as I have a chance. If I miss Harden, Andre on the wing, pay attention to interfering with the mid-range shot, and make up for defense and interfering with his layup, and empty people who have no range."

Tyronlu was a little embarrassed and complained wildly: Isn’t this a joke for Harden at 183m height? Are you still ready to let go of the water in the final quarter?

However, from another perspective, Guo Xu may easily score when he counterattacks.

Tayron Lu looked at Guo Xu and silently solicited opinions with his eyes. If he directly opposed the team boss, he would feel bad. Guo Xu nodded at him with a smile, meaning to make him feel at ease.

Seeing that the boss had decided, Tyronlu had to be a quiet puppet and "made a decision" and said, "Just fight like this."

The game began, the Kings attacked first, Guo Xu followed Harden and began to defend closely.

Rondo hasn't been on the way now. Carl thought his attack was too bad and sent Collison to share Harden's offensive pressure. It was obvious that Guo Xu was defending Harden at home, and Collison immediately passed the ball over the half.

Collison single-handed Booker has the speed advantage to be misplaced, but Harden's chances look better.

The home fans were very excited. The direct match between the two teams in the last quarter was what they wanted to see most. If Harden scored more than Guo Xu and won the game, he might be the gods in one game.

Guo Xu first failed to make a gamble and steal, and then made a defense that shocked everyone and followed Harden's butt to get a position behind him.

Harden was a little confused. No one had ever defended him like this. He soon discovered an embarrassing situation, and he could only drive the ball forward, unable to make familiar dribbling under the crotch and step-back shots.

Harden easily dribbled the ball into the three-point line, but he felt very uncomfortable because he rarely made mid-range shots and his offensive rhythm was disrupted.

Last season, Harden's mid-range shots accounted for only 7.4 of the total shots, 0.6 of 1.3 shots, with a shooting percentage of 43.1. His large two-point shots were not much, accounting for 13.1 of the total shots, 0.8 of 2.4 shots, with a shooting percentage of 33.7.

Harden does not practice mid-range shots in the team. He is the main player in three-pointers and breakthroughs. He has developed a habit in recent years. He imitates Guo Xu's playing style, with a real hit rate of more than 60 and extremely efficient.

Guo Xu did not have many mid-range shots in the Suns because his teammates would take on this task. Even so, he would practice mid-range shots. Less shots are not as close to no-point shots as Harden. This time loop, Guo Xu and Wang Jun fought one-on-one and made mid-range shots a big killer.

Harden's rhythm was wrong, but no one defended him in front of him and still chose to shoot a mid-range shot. Robertson let go of Solomon and interfered slightly, and the ball was off.

Horford immediately passed the ball to Guo Xu, and there were two misalignments on the court, Guo Xu vs. Harden, Book vs. Collison, and 3-for-3 in the frontcourt.

Harden did not have a close body, allowing Guo Xu to receive the pass comfortably and quickly advance to the frontcourt.

Guo Xu scored a three-pointer from one meter outside the left three-point line. Harden retreated too far and went forward and just stretched out his hand and the ball entered.

88 to 92, Guo Xu scored 57th.

The Kings attacked, Harden asked for the ball on the outside again, and Collison passed by.

Harden was about to do the move, but found that Guo Xu had gone behind him again, and he firmly forced him to drive the ball forward and break through.

Both the audience in front of the TV and watching the football live were stunned.

What is this? Defensive around the back? Isn’t this let Harden make a random shot at the open space?
