Chapter 1143 [Winners in life, there are traces to follow]
Experts unanimously optimistic that the Lakers swept the Suns, and there are many Suns fans on the Internet who are dissatisfied with their regular season performance.
After Guo Xu left, the Suns never showed dominance again and became an ordinary playoff team. It was difficult for them to enter the playoffs this year. Fans are used to watching them win, and the psychological gap is too big.
The most awesome fan used 5 different Twitter accounts to criticize Suns players, and also revealed some private information, which attracted a lot of fans' attention. The players were very upset and suspected that it was the revelation of internal staff.
After reading the news, Guo Xu guessed that this was not a staff member, but the boss Brian Colangelo built a small trumpet... The good news is that no one will investigate him this time, because he has the final say whether to investigate or not.
During the warm-up, Guo Xu and his old teammates greeted each other, especially the hardcore little brother Udunis Haslem.
Haslem is a life winner among role players. The Suns will not trade him and are willing to continue to renew his contract and stay with him as a spiritual leader in the team. He is currently the captain of the Suns. He has been playing for the Suns since he entered the league in 2002. It is now his 14th season. He averages about 10 minutes per game and can help the team on the defensive end.
Even Haslem is better than Bennett, the high pick selected by the Suns in 2013. The guy has said goodbye to the NBA and has not been able to find his position in the end.
When the Suns' home player appears, the broadcaster will shout "u" when he mentions Haslem. It sounds like boos is actually the exclusive code name of Haslem. In addition to the Spurs GDP combination, Haslem is a representative of one person and one city, and is very popular.
Lakers starters: Guo Xu, Devin Booker, Vince Carter, Al Horford, Nurkic.
The Suns have been sent to the regular season's usual lineup, and the two big men can create singles opportunities for Guo Xu's cover.
Suns starter: Jeremy Lin, Klay Thompson, Allen Crabbe, Ibaka, Whiteside.
D'Antoni has always been the head coach of the Suns. He asked Roy to become the sixth man and train the young Crab. In 2013, Crab, who entered the league, actively defended and shot three-pointers, and his athletic ability was better than Roy.
Whiteside won the jump ball and the game began.
Jeremy Lin organized the outside organization, and Guo Xu chose to defend himself. Kobayashi has three-pointers and can average 1.2 goals per game in the regular season and a shooting percentage of 36.2%. Guo Xu usually lets him shoot in the regular season, but the playoffs are different.
Guo Xu should treat the first round as a training session, lead his teammates to cheer up and improve the defensive intensity. The Spurs and the Warriors have the ability to pk with the Lakers. If he is still very relaxed, there is a possibility of capsizing in the gutter.
Jeremy Lin knew his weight and was afraid that his shooting rate would decrease. So he did not consider singles, but protected the ball with his back to observe his teammate's running position, and passed it to Thompson.
Ibakala went outside the three-point line to attract Horford to defend, Whiteside blocked Booker, Nurkic replaced defense slowly, Thompson caught the ball and made a three-pointer. 0 to 3.
The Lakers attacked, and Horford played pick-and-roll with Guo Xu as soon as the halfway point was passed. He moved across the left side with the ball. Ibaka replaced the pick-and-roll and broke out the three-point line. Maintaining two steps away from the distance, he could prevent breakthroughs and interfere with the shooting. Jeremy Lin made every effort to bypass the screen and formed a double-team.
In the second half, all teams defended Guo Xu like this. When they encountered a big man covering the screen, they had to go out. The distance should not be too close or too far, and then double-teamed as soon as possible. The defender was slow to chase and defend, and Guo Xu had a very high success rate for forcing the big man to break through, and then he had to make up for defense on the wings.
Guo Xu passed the ball to Horford, ran to the left bottom corner, and then ran to the right.
Ibaka couldn't follow Guo Xu, so she returned to the middle and stared at Horford. The latter didn't make a phone call if he had the outside line, and passed it to Guo Xu who ran to the bottom corner on the right.
Jeremy Lin is a heavy defender, and his speed is slower than Guo Xu. If he is blocked by a flesh shield like Nurkic, he will have to delay it for one second. It is difficult for him to chase and defend well. As soon as Guo Xu runs in the regular season, everyone is overwhelmed.
Whiteside hurriedly changed defense and went out. Guo Xu took the ball at the bottom corner and took a step to the left, and passed the ball backwards to Nurkic.
Guo Xu would shoot a regular season goal by himself. Crab on the wing has let go of Carter and is about to block it. Jeremy Lin also chased him out to form a double team, and both of them were empty.
Nurkic easily received the ball and turned around, and made a one-handed dunk. 2 to 3.
When the Suns attacked, Jeremy Lin was pressed by Guo Xu in the backcourt and almost made a mistake. He passed the ball to his teammates, and Thompson dribbled the ball through the half.
People who know how to understand can see how big the difference between the two is. As a heavy point guard, Jeremy Lin couldn't squeeze Guo Xu, and his speed was much worse. He could not break through at all and could only rely on his figure to protect the basketball.
Thompson played pick-and-roll with his inside teammates with the ball, and he did not get rid of the explosive power of defense in an instant. Even if he had learned skills from Guo Xu, his breakthrough ability was average.
So Thompson always plays very simply. He stopped and jumped after pick-and-roll. Under the interference of Nurkic, Horford grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack with a pass.
Jeremy Lin knew that Guo Xu was very difficult to defend after receiving the ball, so he chose a gambling steal and wanted to use his height to jump up and break the long pass. As a result, Guo Xu also jumped up, jumping higher than Jeremy Lin. He touched the basketball with his right hand and turned around and rushed to the front court.
The difference in Jeremy Lin's flexibility appeared. He did not turn around as quickly as Guo Xu, and was completely thrown away. No one in the Suns could keep up with Guo Xu's speed. He rushed into the basket from the left and turned 360 degrees in the reverse direction to dunk the ball. 4 to 3.
Yu Jia from CCTV5 shouted: "Good ball! The opening is Guo Xu's performance time. The strength of the two teams in the No. 1 position is very different, and it is almost impossible for the Suns to win."
Zhang Heli said: "The Suns will never find a core like Guo Xu again. He can change a team by himself."
Yu Jia said: "If the Lakers win the championship this year, the value of this championship will be higher than the one Guo Xu led in 2006. The Lakers are the reconstruction team, and the inside star Bosh is reimbursed. The Suns have been running-in for several seasons and have won two consecutive championships."
The Suns are still covering tactics. Jeremy Lin failed to break through and passed it to Crab. The latter failed to get rid of the running position and had poor offensive ability to play singles with the ball, so he passed it to Ibaka again.
Ibaka didn't get a phone directly, so he protected the ball and then looked for his teammates. He was not as physical as Xiao Si and his skills were far inferior to that of the past.
It was almost 24 seconds long. Thompson beat Booker and then missed the mid-range shot under interference, and Nurkic grabbed the rebound.
The Suns' offense is too simple, and most of Thompson's scores come from running and receiving shots, which can be traced. As long as the Lakers make targeted defense, be more active when changing defenses, and let others take action, it is not difficult to limit him.
In the Lakers' positional battle, Guo Xu attracted double teams from the outside and passed the ball. He ran to the right corner and received the pass. Whiteside changed the defense again. He couldn't do it without changing defense. They were all scared by Guo Xu during the regular season. When Guo Xu scored 5 or 60 points, he would almost lose the game unless Thompson was also fucked.
Guo Xuheng moved one step and passed it to Nurkic, who was the main player at the basket, who was an easy one-handed dunk. 6 to 3.
Jeremy Lin wanted to chase Guo Xu, but when he saw that he was passing, he quickly turned around. The gap between his figure and the center forward was too big, and there was no way to do it at all. He might not be able to hold up the foul.
D'Antoni shook his head straight on the sidelines. He has worked with Guo Xu for 11 years and knows the other party too well.
