Chapter 1113 [Playing warriors is like an exhibition match]

The Warriors players retreated very quickly, and they mainly defended the Lakers' quick counterattack.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to face Curry. As soon as the Warriors came up, they wanted Curry to defend himself for a few rounds. When he couldn't stand it, he would double-team him.

If you directly match the stars on the periphery, it is easy to have open shooting opportunities. Most of the Lakers' players are good at receiving and shooting. If Guo Xu plays a pick-and-roll, Green's speed of switching defense is fast enough, he can help Curry attack and put inside players in and out of the middle and long distances.

Guo Xu gave his teammates a secret code, asking them to pull them all away. Horford gave Booker no ball cover on the left, and Carter and Tucker stood outside the three-point line on the right.

Guo Xu played single in the middle, dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, quickly closed the ball behind and moved to his right hand, and jumped sharply. Curry was attracted by the dribble and moved slightly to the right, but he didn't follow Guo Xu's second move, so he didn't have time to jump and block.

Guo Xu made a three-pointer with a jump shot and hit a slight interference from Curry. 3 to 0.

This kind of interference is useless, it cannot cover the shooting and has no physical contact, so Guo Xu will not be affected when shooting. He glanced at the basket and made a quick move, which felt similar to an open position.

Guo Xu felt uncomfortable when he did the outside, Curry was not fast enough. His speed, especially his horizontal movement speed, was slow in the star point guard. But Guo Xu was really fast, his pace was fast, and his dribbling skills were also fast.

Iverson said in a recent interview that Westbrook, Irving, Rondo, Wall and others are relatively fast in the league, but there is only one player who can barely keep up with Guo Xu, that is Wall.

Guo Xu was not as good as Wang Jun after leveling up on Earth Six, but his role in the system is not smaller than Wang Jun, because he was more obvious when playing pick-and-roll, and he was invincible when fighting one-on-one.

The Warriors attacked, and Guo Xu pressed Curry in close proximity as soon as he passed halfway.

Curry's dribble from behind with a change of direction and failed to pass Guo Xu, and was blocked hard. When other teams dealt with the Warriors, they often crossed Curry on the periphery. Today, Guo Xu was the Lakers himself.

Curry couldn't squeeze Guo Xu, and he could not get rid of the horizontal movement with his skills. He used two steps to pass the ball to find his teammates. Green's catching ball outside the three-point line on the left was empty, Tucker made two steps to defend the ball from a long distance, and he could help his teammates double-team players near the penalty area at any time.

Green was almost open and did not dare to make a three-pointer. He looked for Curry who was running, and Gobert had no ball cover. Guo Xu bypassed the ball and chased him very quickly. As soon as Curry received the ball, he posted it up, and he did not give him any room to shoot. If he wanted to shoot, he could only throw it against him.

Curry failed to break through and passed the ball again. Middleton made a single shot and made a pitch in the emergency stop. 3 to 2.

Middleton became the Warriors' second scoring point this season, averaging 18.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, shooting percentage of 46.2% and three-point shooting percentage of 40.7%.

Unlike Klay Thompson among the Original Splash Brothers, Middleton can not only play without the ball, but also hold the ball and score and organize. His defense is also good, and he often defends the arrows at the 2nd and 3rd positions on the opposite side.

Because he has improved every season, the Warriors gave up renewing his contract with Demare Carroll.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu singled out Curry, dribbled the ball under his crotch, and suddenly turned to the right with the ball in his left hand and rushed to the right, breaking Curry along the penalty area line. Gobert made up for defense, Guo Xu circled around the basket and passed the ball to Horford in the bull horn position with one hand.

Horford was completely empty, and he easily dropped the hollow into the net. 5 to 2.

The Warriors attacked, Curry passed the ball to Green in the half, Green passed it to Redick who was running. The latter caught the ball and broke through Booker after the fake, and the mid-range shot missed Tucker's pullback interference. Horford drove the ball out, and Carter picked up the ball and passed it to Guo Xu, giving him an accurate pass.

During training, they gradually played a tacit understanding. Carter knew how big the speed advantage of Guo Xu was. Guo Xu accelerated straight and threw Curry away. He received the ball in front of the free throw line and followed the trend to go to the basketball goal. 7 to 2.

The Warriors attacked, Curry was just over halftime and passed to Green again. His fake moves were completely useless to Guo Xu, and the opponent could predict his every move.

But Curry felt tremendous pressure at the beginning of the game. The feeling of being completely seen through was too bad. If Guo Xu was so defensive in the whole game, the media would definitely not say anything good to him after the game.

The media, regardless of whether Guo Xu is serious in defense or not, and what is the difference between playing in a weak team, they just look at the data and the outcome.

Green aimed after being empty, and a three-pointer from the middle jump shot and made a slam in the iron. Horford grabbed the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu.

After the two passed half together, Guo Xu followed Horford's butt, and his center of gravity dropped very low. He pushed Horford's waist one meter in front of the three-point line.

This is the code. Horford immediately ran forward two steps. Guo Xu pulled up and made a three-pointer. Curry jumped from the side and couldn't block it. The ball entered. 10-2.

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "This kind of cover is like playing. Curry dares not post too close. If Horford blocks him, it will be difficult to catch up. Gobert dares to defend too far. He is too tall and can easily be passed when he goes out."

Yu Jia smiled and said, "Pushing teammates like this is a reasonable use of the rules. He played very smartly. Before the game, most people were optimistic about the Warriors, but Guo Xu led the West to the bottom last season, and the Lakers who lacked Bosh easily took the lead. His dominance is really too strong, and he can play casually without double-teaming."

Zhang Heli said: "Curry is completely incomparable. He has not been too far from being defended by Guo Xu alone."

At this time, a mistake occurred on the court. Curry and Gobert played pick-and-roll, Horford changed defense and blocked Curry, and Guo Xu chased the defense to form a double-team. Curry looked for the gap between the two and passed the ball to Gobert who was cut. The distance was a bit far, and Tucker retreated and carded the pass route and broke the basketball.

To defend against Green, a power forward with no baskets, Tucker could shrink back very far. Curry's vision was blocked and he didn't pay attention to his position, so he passed an adventure ball.

Guo Xu saw Tucker intercept the ball and immediately turned around and got rid of Curry's defense. Tucker passed a high ball with both hands to the front.

Guo Xu made an unexpected choice in the middle. After receiving the ball, he ran two steps and smashed the ball to the ground with one hand, bounced straight on the rebound and rebounded back.

The process of hitting the ground and hitting the board slowed down the ball, but Guo Xu rushed to the basket without slowing down at all. He jumped up and dunked the ball with his right hand in the air. His movements were very relaxed, and in actual combat, he might be the most beautiful one among the small ones.

12 to 2, the 10th point in the individual.

Curry followed behind and was stunned. Although Guo Xu had won the dunk championship before, he was not afraid to say that his bounce was stronger than Nate Robinson. Now his dunk is obviously stronger than "Little Potato".

He is more physically compatible at the age of 34 than at the age of 24. Is there any reason for him?

Warriors head coach Mark Jackson requested a timeout and needed some adjustments. Warriors players could not defend Guo Xu, and there was also a problem with the offensive end. Both inside players can be vacant now.

The Warriors could easily score points before, and there were enough three people on the court who could shoot three-pointers. The key to the Warriors' offense was that when playing against other teams, their opponents had to double-team to limit Curry. Now Guo Xu's single defense restricted Curry.

Yu Jia sighed: "Guo Xu is worthy of being the number one person in basketball history. Playing the Warriors is like an exhibition match. This ball can get high scores in the slam dunk contest."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "But Guo Xu was probably disappointed today. In an interview, he said he didn't care about the outcome and wanted to compete with the team that was evenly matched. The two teams seemed not evenly matched, but he beat Curry one-sidedly."
