Guo Xu dribbled the ball through half and passed it to Brian Xiao on the right. The latter had an advantage in the height of 191cm, and Guo Xu ran to the right corner without the ball.

Jackson wanted to applaud Guo Xu on the sidelines. Although he has not been a member of the Lakers for a long time, his ball quotient is very high. He has truly understood the essence of triangle offense and knows how to break the double team.

Brian Shaw is good at lobing O'Neal, so that when the player pulls away, the Hawks will feel uncomfortable no matter how they defend. White and Horry, who defends the left bottom corner, and Johnson, who is 70 degrees on the left, are not easy to defend O'Neal in the low post on the right.

O'Neal would have a chance to catch the ball and attack the basket at this time, but he did not do so. He took one more step to the horn position to provide Guo Xu with an unball cover and blocked Terry.

Even the top defenders on the outside are difficult to get around when they encounter O'Neal's cover. There is Hanna, who is close to defending behind O'Neal. The two big men formed an extremely thick wall of humans. Guo Xu's speed was faster than Terry, so he started first and then Terry could not defend himself.

Guo Xu ran to the right bottom corner and received a pass from Brian Shaw, making an open three-pointer.

31 to 21, the 23rd point in the individual.

Hanna, the substitute center who had just appeared on the Hawks, had no intention of switching defense at all. The coach sent him to fight O'Neal alone. This was a great and difficult and almost impossible task, so he recognized O'Neal.

The Hawks attacked, Hanna received the ball after pick-and-roll, scored in the open mid-range shot, and the white players' shooting feel was generally better than the blacks, which is a major feature of Hanna. 31 to 23.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu continued to play without the ball, and the same routine as before. He relied on O'Neal's unball cover to get rid of Terry. He received a pass from Brian Shaw on the right bottom corner, made a three-pointer and entered the net hollow!

34 to 23, Guo Xu scored 26th. He didn't waste any effort and broke his personal score record in a single quarter.

Hawks coach Kruger was angry on the sidelines and shouted at Hanna: "Hanna, change defense! Are you just letting him shoot like that?"

Hanna looked at Kruger with an innocent look. Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?

Hanna, born in 1976, is 25 years old. As an international player, he performs poorly on the defensive end because he fails to understand the head coach's intentions well. His native language is Finnish and he has not been able to do so after learning English for two years.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Yao Ming brought an interpreter when he first joined the NBA, which could solve the problem of communication. A rookie like Hanna who was not valued for the second round, who had no money to hire a translator, was all up to oneself to integrate into the team, which was much more difficult.

Sometimes success is due to accidental success, Hanna unexpectedly helps Guo Xu, who wants to brush data.

In fact, Coach Kruger is the culprit for the Hawks' poor play. His arrangement failed and he could not play the players' strengths at all.

Kruger is a rookie who is not famous at all in the NBA. This season is his first time as the head coach. The substitutions have messed up the players and himself. The tactics that have been emphasized at the suspension have become nonsense.

When the Eagles attacked, Terry was almost crazy. He didn't want to be the background board for Guo Xu to score.

He got a hot mind and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with a simple pick-and-roll and broke into the inside. After Horry interfered with the layup, he missed and flew out of the baseline.

O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu who had run over half the game. There was a misplaced position on the court. Although White's return to defense was fast, the center of gravity of 211cm was too high. Guo Xu changed direction and quickly pulled someone to foul.

Guo Xu threw the ball casually and missed it, and the referee blew the whistle. He walked onto the free throw line and took a deep breath to find the rhythm, and made all the free throws.

36 to 23, the 28th point in the individual.

The Hawks attacked, Maroni relied on Hanna to cover the ball, and scored a three-pointer on the right running position, 36-26.

This ball seemed to be a three-pointer that stopped bleeding. In fact, O'Neal did not defend himself from the penalty area. The score difference was big, and he began to be lazy and let go again on the defensive end.

Next, Guo Xu's touch was reduced, and he missed two consecutive shots, and the Hawks players also took turns to make a move.

36 to 26, the Lakers led by 10 points to the end of the first quarter.

Guo Xu scored 28 points and 4 assists, which was the craziest single-quarter performance of NBA this season. Iverson's 54 points game was not so explosive.

Whether Americans or Chinese, as long as they watch this game, even new fans will definitely remember Guo Xu.

In the second quarter, Guo Xu and O'Neal were resting together, Fisher was responsible for leading the substitutes, and the other four were George, Bowen, Horry, and Madson.

Kruger did not want to give up the game, so he arranged for Terry to continue playing and lead the substitute with Kukoc. The other three were White, Johnson and Henderson.

Two commentators from CCTV5 discussed Guo Xu's gossip, predicting the heights he might reach in the future, looking forward to this year's playoffs, etc., anyway, they are no longer on the court.

After the stars rested, the game became extremely dull, and both sides took turns to make irons, and the efficiency was not high.

As soon as he obtained the ball, Fisher, the "Champion puzzle" appeared. Even if the coach arranged tactics for him, would he dare to shoot? Even if he dared to shoot, could he get rid of the opponent's defense? His playing style of passing through the half-time matches the star's partner. If he doesn't have the ball, he would be stunned if he doesn't have the star on the court.

Fisher of this era is still far from that of Fisher, who won the Lakers two championships in the previous and last days. He is average in skills and not as rich in experience. It is not his turn to shoot the key ball to show his big heart.

In 6 minutes, the Lakers team scored only 6 points. Although O'Neal was not there, the offense and defense pace was outrageously slow.

Fisher couldn't launch a fast attack at all, and his teammates could only slow down and land on the position. Is a group of blue-collar workers trying to let the opponent take a few more breaths to rest?

The Lakers have advantages in this way, that is, they can ensure the speed of returning to defense and implement the positional defense system. The Hawks failed to seize the opportunity to overtake the score. Their shooting percentage was not high, so they only scored 10 points by Terry and Kukochi.

Then Hawks coach Kruger made another low-level mistake, he replaced Terry with rest and replaced Knight. The Lakers replaced Guo Xu and O'Neal.

The Hawks' substitute should have been Knight's job in the first half of the quarter. In the second half of the coach, Knight was allowed to play and face Guo Xu. Isn't this a dead end? After the substitution, Kruger also found something wrong. He turned his mind a little slow. He didn't expect this just now, so he wanted to take advantage of the casserole combination to chase points.

After appearing, the expressions of the two formed a sharp contrast.

Guo Xu's smile was like a touch of blue in the early morning, clear and refreshing. His eyes seemed to face the leisurely and colorful evening, with a calm expression, and any indifference was because he was sure to win.

Looking at Knight again, his expression seemed to be as brave as he was going to the execution ground to be executed.

The game continued, Guo Xu did not have his teammates to cover it, and directly challenged Knight on the outside, dribbling the ball from his crotch and retreated. He made two consecutive three-pointers and hit one.

Knight dared not give Guo Xu any more space to attack and perform close-fitting defense that he was not good at. The Hawks also started to double-team on the wings. Guo Xu passed the ball with the opportunity. If his teammates did not shoot, he would run to the bottom and play a triangle offense.

O'Neal received the ball at a low post, and the Hawks could not double-team Guo Xu. At this time, whether he cut at the baseline at the empty basket or to the upper line to catch the ball and play singles, it made the Hawks uncomfortable.

The Lakers' tactics are very clear. Guo Xu and O'Neal attack with the ball, while the other three are not open and do not shoot.

At the end of the half, the Lakers led 11 points 60-49, Guo Xu scored 11 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, scoring a total of 39 points and 6 assists, almost tying his personal scoring record. Since the Hawks still have the chance to win, he will still play in the second half.
