The Timberwolves attacked, Joe Smith played against Marion near the free throw line and turned around and missed a jump shot. The ball was not touched and flew out of the baseline. In order to avoid the blocking, he temporarily raised the shooting point and failed to grasp the distance.

This offensive choice is very bad, and Joe Smith was teased by the CCTV5 commentator.

Zhang Heli said: "Joe Smith is a role player on both ends of the offense and defense. He has poor skills and low shooting percentage. He averages only 7.5 points and 5 rebounds per game this season. The Timberwolves were fined for such a person and have several draft picks revoked. This is really hard to understand."

Xu Jicheng said: "When he joined the Timberwolves in 1998, he performed well."

In fact, before joining the Timberwolves, Joe Smith averaged only 10 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in the 76ers. After joining the Timberwolves, the ball rights increased and the average average was less than 15 points per game. Timberwolves manager McHale was confused by his identity as the No. 1 pick.

In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu continued to play Hudson alone, but he couldn't finish the fight without being double-teamed.

He dribbled the ball under his crotch twice in a row and broke through to the left. He dribbled the ball behind his back and retreated with the right hand. Then he used the "Worship Buddha" fake move. Hudson moved horizontally and followed, and Guo Xu changed direction significantly to the left and started at full speed.

Hudson almost sat on the ground after being swung a series of fake moves and changing directions. He struggled to stabilize the center of gravity but could not catch up. The weakness of the 122 joint defense was at the high position, making it difficult to double-team. On the side, Trent made up for defense from the side, Guo Xu stopped and flew the ball to the left.

Joe Johnson did not waste any open opportunities this time and made a jump shot three-pointer.

29 to 15, Guo Xu had the seventh assist.

Hudson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made a mistake when passing it to Joe Smith. Marion suddenly entered the steal and successfully made a steal. He accelerated and directly threw away Smith and made a quick attack. Guo Xu also quickly got off the other side.

Marion attracted Trent to make up for defense and passed the ball to Joe Johnson who followed up, who made a 31-15 goal.

Before he knew it, the score difference between the two sides reached 16 points. Guo Xu didn't work hard to defend, but his teammates were all desperate and played every game as a playoff.

Except for Guo Xu, the Suns have never won the championship and have never tried a long winning streak. They all like to win too much. They will not deliberately distribute their physical strength on the court, but are just running, offense and defense with all their strength.

The Timberwolves took the pick-and-roll attack, Garnett received the ball near the free throw line and faced Guo Xu's mid-range shot. Marion rushed out from the baseline and jumped to interfere. The ball bounced out. Xiao Si grabbed the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu to launch a counterattack immediately.

Guo Xu held the ball and entered the penalty area from the backcourt. Hudson followed him but it was useless. Guo Xu entered the three-point line and changed direction to the left, then dribbled the ball behind him to his right hand, attracting Hudson to move across and pull the ball up, taking the ball with both hands to make a European step, and hitting the ball in the middle.

33 to 15, the 10th point in the individual.

Hudson did not make a foul, and the coach did not arrange for players to foul Guo Xu, because his free throw shooting rate is very high, and even less than 90%, it will be almost the same. If he goes to the free throw line, the offensive efficiency will be even more amazing.

Seeing Guo Xu scored continuously, Garnett was anxious but had no choice. He claimed to be able to defend five positions, but he really wanted to let him, who was over 210cm tall, go to the main point guard to defend a small point guard, which was a behavior of abuse.

Kobe suffered a loss in mobility when defending Guo Xu alone, and Garnett could not do better than Kobe.

The Timberwolves attacked, Hudson first passed to Garnett, and then pulled the run away. After several passes, Hudson scored a mid-range shot from the left horn position. 33 to 17.

Guo Xu was not active in chasing the defense, and he didn't jump, just stretched out his hand, and continued to be lazy on the defensive end.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu brought him to the frontcourt. Marion suddenly slipped into the baseline on the left side. Guo Xuyun passed the ball with one strike. Marion forced a layup and caused Joe Smith to make a defensive foul.

The ball was quite unreasonable. Marion was fast and jumped high. Smith couldn't hold him back. He threw the ball out in a very awkward position from close range. It was difficult for his opponent to stop Marion who rushed forward. He was 201cm tall, his wingspan reached 225cm, and his body proportions were very deformed.

Standing on the free throw line, Marion still had a strange pushing position, but he could score a goal.

36 to 17, Guo Xu had the eighth assist.

Xu Jicheng said: "There is 1 minute and 50 seconds left. The Suns can still attack a few more times. Today, they will score 40+ points in a single quarter."

Zhang Heli said: "The Suns' offense is to fight as fast as possible, even if the positional battle is very fast. If the Timberwolves have the same rhythm, I think the Suns can save energy alone and get 50 points."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "That's too difficult. Except for the Suns, other strong teams are all based on positional battles. They are an alternative landscape this season."

The Timberwolves passed the ball back and forth, and in 20 seconds, Kendal passed Kirisek's mid-range shot. 36 to 19.

In the Suns' attack, Guo Xu, who had played several Hudson in a row, chose the pick-and-roll in the middle this time. After getting rid of it, he attracted Joe Smith to replace the defense. He stopped in a hurry and turned around and passed the ball to the middle. Xiao Si took the ball and took off and dunked in with one hand.

38 to 19, Guo Xu had the ninth assist.

Garnett's defense of Marion was not outside, and he was ready to make up for defense at the basket at any time, but when Xiao Si rushed up, he became timid. When he saw Xiao Si's momentum, he stopped on the right side of the penalty area and didn't go to the center to try blocking Xiao Si. The opponent was too strong, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to block it.

Garnett's outstanding defensive end is not because of his strong confrontation and fierce blocking. His advantage is that he does not lose position in defense, interferes with shooting with his height and wingspan, and reduces his opponent's shooting percentage. It is the same type as Tyson Chandler in the future.

Currently, he only averaged more than 2 blocks per game in his second season, and he mainly defended and blocked the outside, and rarely blocked the inside players who attacked strongly.

The Timberwolves attacked, Guo Xu defended two steps away, Hudson jumped three-pointer in the middle, and the good opportunity to make another 38-22.

The home audience applauded Hudson again, and Guo Xu didn't care at all. He was afraid that the opponent would be slowing down when attacking.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Xiao Si had no chance to play pick-and-roll in the middle, so they gave it to Joe Johnson on the outside. He stood at the right corner and then covered the run with Xiao Si without the ball from the side. Joe Johnson didn't play by himself, so he protected the ball and looked for Guo Xu and passed it over.

The coach arranged for the players to pass the ball in the position and look for Guo Xu, and waited for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot. Even if Joe Johnson was confident of holding the ball and breaking through, he would not go up by himself, for fear that the coach would say he would play randomly. This is the best team player.

Joe Smith switched defense and followed Guo Xu, not giving him the chance to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers. Guo Xu accelerated to the middle, jumped and hit the ball and passed the ball to Xiao Si who was cutting the ball on the right.

Xiao Si ran to the penalty area to receive the ball, attracting Garnett's backup defense. He unexpectedly did not directly dunk, but instead bent his knees and raised the ball with his hands to sway. Garnett was on the basket with his toes. Although the Wolf King was experienced and realized that it was a fake move, his center of gravity also became higher.

Xiao Si quickly changed direction and moved the ball over Garnett, turned halfway and jumped up in the middle, leaned against Garnett to shoot with both hands at close range, and gently put the ball into the basket. 40 to 20.

Garnett jumped a little slower and didn't cover it. When he returned to defense, Xiao Si grinned excitedly and clapped Guo Xu.
