Guo Xu didn't ask Kobe for dinner, and he hadn't talked online for a long time. The relationship between the "ok combination" broke up, so of course he chose to stand on the side of O'Neal, who is more in line with his personality. Even when he was in the Lakers, he and Kobe went out to play very few times, and the two had too big differences in their lifestyles.

If the person who left O'Neal was leaving, Guo Xu would stay with the Lakers and Kobe to form a double-shot outside, sooner or later, there would be a conflict. Not to mention anything else, if he made a movie in the summer, Kobe might be interviewed and criticized for not doing his job properly. Kobe likes to use his own rules and regulations to restrain others, as if other people's way of doing things is different from what he thinks, it is wrong.

Many people have this kind of personality when they were young. They always do stupid things that are self-righteous and kind, want to help others reshape their lives, but in the end they find that they are themselves who need to reshape their lives.

Kobe's personality is usually the second grade of junior high school...

That night, the highlight of the whole United States live broadcast Lakers vs. Suns will be staged, and China CCTV5 will also broadcast the game live.

During the warm-up, the two commentators talked about the Rockets and Yao Ming.

In another game that just ended, the Rockets lost 71-90 to the Grizzlies, which once again disappointed Rockets fans. This year the team joined Jim Jackson, and many people thought the Rockets' strength had improved significantly, but the result was not that.

The Rockets' lineup is seriously flawed just because the new coach Jeff Van Gundy let Yao Ming and Kato start together.

Even if Yao Ming pulled out to play pick-and-roll with the defender, the Rockets could not completely withdraw the basket, which made their offense extremely difficult. Because Kato, who can only play center, starts at the 4th position, has almost no attack power. If the opponent pulls out, he can empty him. Just have someone to follow him at the low post. Only when the opponent doubles the defender, Kato has the possibility of getting a bargain.

What kind of waste is this? The American media actually have many people who blew up Kato, saying that he is very tough and that his role in the Rockets cannot be reflected by data. He protected Yao Ming well.

Protect your claws. Yao Ming and Kato competed one-on-one during training in the team. The guy who is defensively covered wants to die. Just look at the ability to prevent the penalty area, Yao Ming is much stronger than Kato. What the Rockets lack is the power forward who can defend against pick-and-roll, have strong mobility, and can also pull out to shoot.

Van Gundy made the two heavy inside teams quite imaginative, which was simply a blessing for the opponent. Now many Chinese fans who support the Rockets don’t want to watch the Rockets play against the Suns, and hope that the two teams will meet later.

Before appearing, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson emphasized the triangular offense, allowing O'Neal and Payton to play more. He also talked to Kobe alone and told him to pass more and have the opportunity to shoot three-pointers on the outside, but try not to force the attack against others.

Last season, Kobe's outside shots increased, with his three-point shooting percentage reaching 38.3% of his career peak. In January, he made 12 three-pointers, tying Guo Xu's single-game three-point record, but this does not mean that Kobe can score three-pointers with Guo Xu. He is very unstable outside the three-point line, killing the opponent when his hands are hot and the Lakers when his hands are cold.

On the Suns, D'Antoni's offensive tactics arranged are very simple, which is to try to run, bomb and counterattack, and use speed to drag down the two major stars of the Lakers inside.

Five Suns: Guo Xu, Lagabel, Marion, Stardameier, Diop.

Five Lakers: Payton, Kobe, Devin George, Malone, O'Neal.

As soon as Diop appeared, O'Neal knew that Guo Xu had not fooled him. This big man could indeed fight him. He was tall and weight here. Although his arms were not too thick, his shoulders were very wide.

When people discuss a player's physical condition, few people pay attention to shoulder width. In fact, the shoulder width of an inside player is very important because the position, position, and blocking people and grabbing the board. Shoulder width means that the player can occupy a larger area and be more handy. O'Neal, Duncan, Malone, Brand and others are good at positioning, regardless of their height, and their ability to block positions is related to shoulder width.

On the contrary, if a big player only has an arm span and has a very narrow shoulder, then he may be better off taking Durant's path, blocking, and defending, and it will be difficult to become an excellent inside player.

Zhang Heli commented: "The Suns didn't start the small lineup today, and they attached the same importance to defense and sent them to the blue-collar workers as they did when they played against the Spurs."

Xu Jicheng said: "Johnson continued to be substitute. It's not that he is not as good as Bale in his personal ability, but that playing in this way can make the Suns' rotation lineup more powerful and have a backbone when attacking."

When playing against the Cavaliers, Joe Johnson did not play in the first half of the second quarter. It was a bit messy to rely on rookie Blake to organize the Suns' offense. D'Antoni would not make such a mistake in using people today. Each lineup must be led by someone who is good at playing with the ball.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game began.

Payton's ball control organization, Guo Xu stepped forward to defend closely, "gloves" are not the kind of players who can just take two steps.

Last season, Payton averaged 20.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, shooting percentage of 45.4%, and a three-point difference of only 29.7%, and a free throw percentage of 71%.

Payton played pick-and-roll with Karl Malone in the middle, got rid of Guo Xu and attracted Xiao Si to switch defense and then passed the ball to the middle. Malone took the ball and cut it in the air. Even if he was old, his bodybuilder-like muscles were not something Guo Xu could withstand.

Malone entered the basket and was resisted by Diop, but he was not a player who could only play for force. He averaged 4 assists per game in many seasons in his career. At the age of 36, he could still win the regular season MVP.

He leaned on Diop and passed the ball from his side to the basket on the right with one hand. Diop didn't even see how he passed, so he naturally wouldn't turn around to defend. O'Neal received the ball and dunked the ball with both hands. 0 to 2.

The Suns attacked, the players pulled away. Diop stood at the low post on the left to attract defense. Guo Xu and Smith played pick-and-roll in the middle. The Lakers were even more uncomfortable with the same tactics. Payton is now 35 years old and has been 36 after playing this season. The most powerful decline in his decline is speed.

Guo Xu changed direction and got out of the right side. This side was Bale with only the bottom corner on the weak side. Malone changed his defense to block his breakthrough route. Payton chased and formed a double-team. Guo Xu hit the ball in the gap between the two and passed it to Xiao Si in the middle.

Sir Xiao was unguarded at a high position, and his mid-range shot was steadily hit. 2 to 2.

When returning to defense, Xiao Si clapped Guo Xu. If the attack this time last season was 80% defensive, because Xiao Si was not accurate in mid-range shots and cut in the air, O'Neal would wait for him near the penalty area. Xiao Si's ability to attract the ball after retrieving the defense is relatively poor, and he rarely transfers it to teammates who have the chance in time.

At present, Sir's ability to support is still ordinary, but after he practices his mid-range shot, he doesn't have to rush into the basket to challenge O'Neal. He personally realizes the benefits of jump shots, which is simple and labor-saving, and can help Guo Xu create one-on-one opportunities.

The Lakers attacked, and Payton played pick-and-roll again. This time, Guo Xu paid great attention to the side movements, retreated first, and then bypassed Malone, successfully chased and defended within the three-point line, blocking Payton without any misalignment.

The defender is fast, and the defensive end can play a certain role. When Guo Xu is active in defense, it is not easy for the opponent's point guard to get rid of it.

Payton relied on his height advantage to the lob of O'Neal who was on the right. O'Neal squeezed Diop twice, turned to the bottom line and threw the ball to the board. 2-4.

Although O'Neal scored the goal, Diop lost his position without being squeezed and kept disturbing in front of him. With him, the Suns did not need to double-team, and the Sharks could not easily hit the basket and dunk.

The Suns coaching staff’s defensive plan is to defend against the stars alone, strictly prevent the Lakers’ three-pointers from the outside, and then compete for offensive efficiency. The key lies in Guo Xu’s performance. (https:)
