Chapter 335 [Score assists, full play]

In the Suns' attack, Guo Xu and Stadameier played pick-and-roll and passed the ball to the middle. Sir was blocked by Danpier who was retreating. Kirisek, who did not find the open space, could not squeeze Danpier, and he spread the ball out of the outside to find Guo Xu.

Guo Xu made three threatening positions on the right side of the frame. After exploring the steps, he suddenly activated it. He took a big step on his left foot and broke through the bottom line and passed Arenas, making a high-speed layup.

Danpier jumped a little slower and could not cover it. The ball fell into the basket after hitting the board.

Guo Xu's move is not only a high arc, but also a fast move. Defenders usually judge whether the opponent will take action first and then jump up the block, and rarely jump ahead of time. The opponent realizes that everything is too late for Guo Xu to use this move, and Kobe can't block it.

13 to 12, Guo Xu scored 7th.

Smith said: "After Jason left the Lakers, the number of shots increased was mainly breakthrough layups. He seemed to be keeping the game in the past two years, otherwise it would be no difficulty per game of more than 25 points."

Barkley agreed. "I think as long as Jason is unique, he can compete for the scoring champion this year, not necessarily worse than McGrady and Kobe. Those two shots are much higher than him and have a lower shooting percentage."

When the Warriors attacked, Arenas was squeezed tightly again, but Guo Xu was squeezed for a few times.

Last season, Arenas and Guo Xu did not face each other for many times, usually Larry Hughes went to defend the game. Arenas had never taken advantage of the two teams in this season.

He knew very well that Guo Xu's defensive ability was not as weak as posted online, nor was it a defensive black hole. He admired Guo Xu a little. The current first point guard was really not a blow.

Guo Xu set an example and defended seriously. He didn't deliberately let go of the water for a long time, and never discussed letting the water with young players.

Once players develop the habit of being lazy, they may become unhappy in the future. New players must learn to be serious. Some people who play in weak teams cannot learn to defend for a long time. This is the case.

The boss of the team actively defends, so naturally his teammates dare not be lazy. They are very serious when defending alone. The task given to them by the coaching team is very simple. Assistant defense can not be done well, but single defense cannot be easily missed.

Guo Xu adopted the "mad dog" defense like Beverly. His physical strength was the top level in the league and he practiced during the second time cycle. In the 2001 Finals, he and Iverson competed with physical strength without losing weight, and he kept running along except for garbage time. If it weren't for the Suns' game, he could average more than 40 minutes per game without any pressure.

Arenas held the ball and played the pick-and-roll. Murphy pulled out to block Guo Xu. Arenas turned to the left to try to get rid of it quickly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned, Marion rushed out and reached out to poke the basketball and steal it successfully.

Guo Xu turned around and quickly went down, sprinted straight in the middle to get rid of power forward Murphy. Arenas was not as fast as him, so it was too late to turn around and chase him.

Marion passed the ball, Guo Xu failed to take the ball into the inside line, and rushed to the middle to make a three-pointer, making an open spot.

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

Kenny Smith said: "Jason is too confident, and others will definitely choose to make a layup when they encounter such an opportunity."

Barkley smiled and said, "It's a pity that there is no four-pointer, otherwise the Warriors might have defended this round and he can shoot in the midfield."

Smith smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth. Both of them felt that this was something Guo Xu could do.

Guo Xu has indeed been practicing long-distance three-pointers, and this season has never stopped, but it has not yet reached the point of deliberately practicing more.

The Warriors attacked, and Arenas did not continue to fight Guo Xu alone. He is not the boss of the team and needs to ensure efficiency. He and Jamison have a very good relationship. Before the game, the two discussed how to play.

Arenas first passed the ball to Bathir, and the latter passed it to Jamison. The Suns are a mixed defense, Guo Xu is responsible for keeping the point guard, and the other four are responsible for the area.

Jamison chose Kirisek's side to attack, turned around and took a step and made a mid-range shot. 16 to 14.

The Suns' wing defense is flawed. Kirisek is 198cm tall and weighs 100 kilograms and does not suffer any loss in confrontation, but his defense is far from the expert level, so the counterattack star will definitely be beaten.

In the Suns' attack, Guo Xu passed the ball to Marion, Bathir followed him, Marion Yun passed the ball to Joe Johnson, who escaped from Danpier's position and made a 70-degree three-pointer on the right, and the opportunity of the near-open position was slid out of the basket again.

Joe Johnson is not at his peak and his shooting is not very stable. He can score continuously when he is in good condition and shoot irons continuously when he is in bad condition. Today he feels cold.

Jamison grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Arenas, who made a single fast break. He faced Guo Xu on the right and used his height advantage to shoot a three-pointer and missed. Joe Johnson, who was retreating, grabbed the backcourt rebound.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu observed the situation and then played the pick-and-roll first, attracting Murphy to replace the defense and pass it to Joe Johnson again. This time, Joe Johnson finally did not disappoint him, and made a three-pointer from the right corner.

19 to 14, Guo Xu made the fourth assist.

As long as Bathil goes to defend Marion, there will be misalignment on the outside. Danpier can defend against Stadameer's empty cut when he moves near the penalty area, but it is too difficult to prevent the outside shooting. Even Garnett and Duncan cannot take into account both inside and outside.

Guo Xu believes that such a good opportunity should be passed over, and everything will become very simple when teammates find the feel.

Warriors coach Musselman didn't call a timeout, but learned to learn "Zen Master" on the sidelines to watch the wind and clouds. The white coach had a smile on his lips, was wearing a suit and tie, and looked smart and capable in short blonde hair, always looking confident.

As the head coach of a lottery team, this is quite strange...

Murphy made a high jump shot and Danpier grabbed the frontcourt rebound. He swung a moment and gave Jamison a close distance, who squeezed away Kirisek to cut and made a layup, 19-16.

Guo Xu passed by Joe Johnson after pick-and-roll. The latter flew a shot from the bottom corner and changed direction and passed the defense. Danpier, who was defending, rushed into the basket, attracting Bathir to make up for defense and pass the ball. Marion easily scored a layup from the left. 21 to 16.

Barkley said: "It's just half way through, and the Suns scored 21 points. They are likely to score more than 40 points in a single quarter. This year, the Suns are the team with the most 40+ times in a single quarter. The offense is really pleasing to the eye."

Smith said: "The statistics show that after changing coaches, the Suns averaged 112 points per game, ranking first in the league, but they also lost 105 points per game, ranking second to the bottom in the league in defensive efficiency."

Barkley smiled and said, "Because the offense is easier, all teams have the illusion that they can beat the Suns, and then they find that their opponent's offense is too fierce and cannot be defended. This kind of game looks particularly exciting."

After Arenas was cut off by Marion once, he became cautious when playing pick-and-roll, attracting the ball to the middle after replacing the defense, hoping that Murphy would use his height advantage to face Guo Xu's jump shot.

The ball he passed was too low, and Guo Xu jumped up and stole it directly. After landing, he turned around and made a fast attack. He threw away Murphy in two steps, Jamison made up for defense, Guo Xu passed it to his teammate who followed the other side, and Joe Johnson dunked the ball with one hand.

23 to 16, Guo Xu made the fifth assist and made full play.

When no one defends, Joe Johnson can occasionally dunk, without any tricks, and is not beautiful at all.

Smith commented: "The Suns are a little interesting. The inside is very good at jumping, and the outside is full of floor flow. This is led by Jason. Some people defend but they don't jump with all their strength. He actually has good jumping power, but rarely shows it."

Barkley sighed: "So his attendance rate is very high, the Suns have few overall injuries this season, and if I did this when I was young, I would have a better career."
