Chapter 496 [Beyond promotion, 50+ in three games]

How sensational was it for Guo Xu to score 67 points in a single game? Almost all media around the world reported it, and basketball fans were discussing this matter.

Both sides were off-season for one day. Those who had previously expressed disapproval of Guo Xu hid and refused to accept interviews again. Especially Jordan and Pippen, they both found that they could not stimulate Guo Xu, and they burst out as soon as they were stimulated.

Pippen opened the Golden Mouth twice, and Guo Xu broke Jordan's record of highest score in a single game in the regular season and playoffs.

Some people can't escape, such as Kobe. He stood up and said that he was not optimistic about his good friend's support for the Timberwolves, which caused some controversy and made some people disgusted.

Some fans asked in confusion: "Hasn't Jason been Kobe's best man? Where did he offend Kobe?"

"After leaving the Lakers, Jason is still a good friend with O'Neal, but his relationship with Kobe has faded and he has become a nod. I don't believe this is Jason's problem."

"I think this is naked jealousy."

Of course, Guo Xu did not offend Kobe. If he hadn't suggested that Vanessa go to Eagle County with him, Kobe would have had a lawsuit for one year, and their second daughter would have had a miscarriage, but Kobe had no idea what kind of disaster he had avoided, and would not thank Guo Xu.

If you meet less and over time, your friends will gradually become distant from you.

After reading the news, even NBA president David Stern was moved and flew to Minneapolis to watch the fourth battle between the two sides in person.

As a result, Guo Xu played the whole game again, his playing style was exactly the same as when he was on the court. He kept running without the ball to look for opportunities to shoot and break through. His physical strength seemed to be endless, and continued his touch of playing, and his shooting percentage was only slightly lower.

The Suns beat the Timberwolves again 105-91 in the final game, and the total score was 2-2.

Winning is a trivial matter, the key is that Guo Xu scored another 50+, made 7 three-pointers, scored 51 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

Kassel could not find his goal in this game, making 6 of 15 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 14 points and 6 assists.

All the fans who supported the Timberwolves were stunned. The Suns regained their home advantage and had obvious advantages. The Timberwolves seemed to be in danger.

In the last two minutes of this game, many Timberwolves fans were disappointed and chose to leave early. The points were about the same, but the Suns were always in control of the situation.

After the game, basketball "experts" changed their words and said they were optimistic that the Suns would reverse the Timberwolves to advance to the finals.

The "Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain" started in Phoenix City, and Guo Xu played the whole game again, combining no ball and ball.

Joe Johnson is in charge of the organization, and Nene and Sir form the double towers is also the key to the Suns' winning goal. This Timberwolves cannot break this move.

Hassel and Spreville are both swinging people who are 196cm tall and have better anti-face frames. Joe Johnson is 201cm tall and currently weighs 105kg. He is a strong man who can protect the ball.

Guo Xu ran out of the position, and Joe Johnson passed it to him. If Garnett replaced the defense, he could directly lob the ball to the low post, allowing Sir Nene to hit the basket.

Sir Little is too strong. Except for Garnett, the Timberwolves' other inside players have no choice. If he does not strengthen his defense against the penalty area, he will have the ability to score 30 points in a single game. Nene is slightly inferior and has a weak desire to attack, but he is outstanding in health and can score points and grab rebounds.

Garnett was in the main defense zone, and Guo Xu played easily on the outside.

The final game was 114 to 89, and the Suns won 25 points. Even if Guo Xu was ahead of the big score, he did not rest. He played for 48 minutes in three consecutive games, scored 50 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, and the third consecutive game was 50+.

He created another historical record, surpassing Jordan. Even if there was suspicion of data swiping, the media and fans were all excited, and the sports circle was full of news about Guo Xu for a while.

No matter how you go down to earth in the regular season, you can't prove that you are a superstar if you don't perform well in the playoffs.

For example, the basketball emperor Chamberlain has extremely dazzling regular season data, but he loses to Russell, the Lord of the Rings every finals. This is the main reason why Jordan becomes the God of Basketball.

Jordan scored 50+ in the playoffs in a total of 8 times in his career, with the highest score of 63 points. Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in a single game and averaged 50.4 points per game, only had 4 playoffs in his career, and two more times were exactly 50 points.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe, a strong player, scored 25 games in the regular season, but only 1 game in the playoffs. In the 2005-06 season, Kobe scored 50 points alone, including 12 of the team's 13 points in overtime, but he still lost to the Suns.

50+ in a single playoff game is already so rare. Only Jordan has done it before. He scored 50+ points and 55 points in the first two games of the series against the Cavaliers, and the Bulls also led by 2-0. Guo Xu has now completed the overtake, with three consecutive games of 50+ and even broke the record in the first game.

Even if Guo Xu can't win the championship this year, he can still play with such data for the rest of his life.

On the contrary, in just one week, the Timberwolves completed a leap from heaven to hell, from the top favorite to the first tragic background board in NBA history. The pressure on the players is unimaginable at all.

In the fifth game, the mentality of the Timberwolves players was obviously collapsed. They couldn't afford to lose, and they were even more afraid that Guo Xu would get high scores. The more they wanted to win, the more they wouldn't be able to win, especially Kassel, who became a blacksmith.

The sixth game was held at the Timberwolves' home court. Before the game, the coaching staff held a meeting and racked their brains to stop Guo Xu from getting high scores.

If Guo Xu cuts down 50+ more, the coaching staff members can commit suicide by separating themselves, and the boss who does not cut off the separatum will also want to cut them to death.

Guo Xu suddenly turned out to be normal, passing the ball and assisting his teammates, but at the beginning he turned away, and caught the Timberwolves off guard.

The Timberwolves guessed wrongly. Guo Xu gave up on the pursuit of 50+ in four consecutive games. He had already completed it in a very difficult situation. He played three consecutive games and had a very high ball possession rate. This is a great test for the players' tenacity.

After getting the match point, Guo Xu's nerves have relaxed, and it is difficult to achieve good results after continuing to take more actions.

As a result, the Timberwolves' preparation was in vain. Guo Xu did not attack hard and passed the ball when he encountered double teams, which attracted Garnett to switch defense and pass the ball.

Xiao Si attacked the basket and scored continuously by misaligning mid-range shots. His playing style is simple and effective, which is to give full play to his physical advantages.

As long as Garnett is not at the basket and lets Stan receive the ball in the penalty area, the opponent can only pray that he will not feel good in the shooting. Because his shooting point is very high, he jumps fast, and it is difficult to block. If you have time, it will be worse for him to rush, and he will directly slash and dunk.

The final game was 125-94, and the Suns won 31 points away, thus completing the reversal with a total score of 4-2 and advancing to the finals first.

Guo Xu played for 48 minutes, made 8 of 14 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring a large double-double with 22 points and 20 assists.

Si played for 38 minutes, made 16 of 22 shots, 6 of 8 free throws, scored 38 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, which made Garnett lose in terms of data.

Marion, Joe Johnson and Nene also scored in double digits, while the Suns had only 8 players in rotation, killing the Timberwolves by starting.

At the post-match press conference, Guo Xu became low-key compared with the previous games, and did not say new jokes or comment on his opponents. He said so much before for psychological warfare to undermine the opponent's morale. Now he has advanced, so there is no need for him to be unable to get along with the Timberwolves.

The reporter asked about the finals: "Which team do you think of the Eastern Conference advancement?"

"Pistols, to be precise, I hope the Pistons will enter the finals." Guo Xu smiled.

Another reporter asked: "Why? Are there any players you want to face off?"

"No, because I think the piston is easier to fight."
