Chapter five hundred and twentieth [Isn't this hippo's pants? 】
The Lakers attacked, Kobe passed the ball after pick-and-roll, Odom's jump shot in the middle was interfered with and missed by Marion, and Sir Jr. grabbed the rebound.
The Suns fought back again, Guo Xu changed direction and broke through Esley's pass. Sir received the ball and forced a basketball shot against Odom.
The Heat in the summer made a trick on the Lakers. While the Lakers were in exchange for two potential players, they also received a bad contract.
Brian Grant, nicknamed "Iron Blood Braid", was once one of the best power forwards in the NBA. He has a tough style of playing, excellent defense, can shoot mid-range and selfless style, and has a peak of 15.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists. However, during the summer trading, Grant's condition has declined significantly, and he has serious injuries.
To make matters worse, Heats president Pat Riley gave Grant a seven-year, $86 million high-paying contract in 2000 and claimed it was a puzzle for the Heats to win the championship, and his contract will not expire until 2007.
Now Grant has become slow due to a knee injury and is only 206cm tall. He loses his tough defense and cannot be considered an efficient role player. Because of his existence, the Lakers' salary space has been locked and cannot be signed. This season, his salary is second only to Kobe, which is higher than Odom, reaching 13.23 million.
In Guo Xu's previous life, it was not until the league issued the "amnesty clause" in 2006 that the Lakers got rid of this big burden, cut off Grant, and saved nearly $30 million in luxury taxes.
D'Antoni replaced Nene with a break in 5 minutes, replaced Joe Johnson to enhance his attack, Marion topped the No. 4 position, with better control of pick-and-roll, and he could also tangle Grant in single defense and would not be eaten by force.
On the offensive end, Marion plays Grant as a misplaced position. He can get rid of the opponent by taking two quick attack steps, creating a situation where more fights less.
The Suns have a huge advantage, leading 35 to 17 in the first quarter.
Guo Xu scored 5 points, 8 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, and only made two shots; Stadameier made 6 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 15 points and 4 rebounds.
After two seasons of training, Xiao Si is getting better and better at leveraging his physical advantages. His playing style is very simple. Most players can't get the speed of starting the first step of the face frame. His jumping speed is amazing, and the defender can't keep up with it when he jumps slowly.
Not to mention veterans like Grant in a downward period, Duncan and Garnett are difficult to defend against Sir. Guo Xu only needs to play a pick-and-roll with him.
The inside was drawn away, and Xiao Si cut the empty shot to the basket, and the inside followed him, and Guo Xu could play on the weak side again. If the opponent double-teamed Guo Xu, he could still jump shot. Xiao Si did not have a holiday this year. He practiced his shooting for a while, and his mid-range shooting ability ranked in the top five in the inside. He can occasionally shoot at one point in the middle.
In his previous life, Sir Xiao scored peak data in the 2005-06 season, averaging 26 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.6 blocks in 36.1 minutes, and his shooting percentage was as high as 55.9%. Unfortunately, he had minimally invasive surgery after suffering from knee injury. Although his scoring efficiency was still very high, his playing time was shortened and his playing style was not so strong, and he never scored better data.
Currently, Sby is only strong and not weak in his previous life, because he has more singles opportunities, and Guo Xu's ability to attract double teams is stronger than Nash. As long as Guo Xu passes more, Sby will play for about 38 minutes and average 30+ per game.
On the Lakers side, Kobe made 4 of 8 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 10 points and 2 assists; Butler made 2 of 4 shots, 1 of 2 of 3-pointers, scoring 5 points; Odom scored 2 points, and no one else scored.
The Lakers have almost no tactics, just singles. After Kobe went to play at a low post, he didn't have a stable three-point shooting point. Substitute forwards Jumein Jones and Brian Cook can make three-pointers, and they will be a little worse when they come on the court. Devin George is injured and can't play today.
At least three people were still leading the starter, and the Lakers couldn't stand the match in the second quarter.
The Suns' substitutes are too luxurious, Payton, Joe Johnson, Josh Howard, Haslem, Nene.
The Lakers are Smarsh Parker, Butler, Jumeiin, Cook, and Rivers.
Lakers players were all defended one-on-one, and Howard was not at a loss against Butler. They were all people with strong athletic ability.
Parker had no choice when he met Haslem on the pick-and-roll, and he couldn't make a breakthrough, and he was not sure if he made a strong shot.
As for Hesheng Town, this guy shouldn't have played. He has rough low-post skills and basically no shooting. He can't make any effort outside the penalty area. He can't score in the penalty area. Although Nene wants to laugh when he sees his face and can't defend well, his teammates don't pass the ball to him and attack hard.
This guy is not only slow in offense, but also the Lakers' black hole on the defensive end.
Nene and Payton played pick-and-roll, and Hashengzhen was so stupid that he didn't know what to do. He didn't change to defender, and Payton dribbled the ball and broke through three steps, and replaced Nene's empty cut to hit the basket. He finally followed him once, Nene easily shook the space and shot with his footsteps, and scored a 2+1.
When Guo Xu came back from rest, the score difference had widened to 30 points. Hesheng Town had been replaced long ago. If he had misplaced against Guo Xu, he would definitely be suspected of his life.
Hesheng Town only played for 4 minutes and lost both face and inside.
He knew that this was a live broadcast game across the United States, and Korean radio stations would definitely broadcast it. Everyone was waiting to watch him abuse Xiao S. Nene, two inconsistent insiders, became the new inside leader of the Lakers... The more he thought about it, he became more and more depressed, and he was a little embarrassed to see people, and covered his head with a towel.
The camera was given to the sidelines. Of course he was so big that he couldn't hide it. A black commentator smiled and turned into a cat face: "Hey? Isn't this hippo's pants?"
Hesheng Town: "I'm not a hippo..."
Kobe was also replaced, with a strong expression. He was greeted by Howard, Bale, and Marion.
The Suns took the lead with a big score in the first half. Guo Xu played for a while in the second half. He was replaced 5 minutes later. The team led by 44 points and he couldn't continue to play.
In the third quarter, Kobe scored 5 shots in a row, and the Suns hit a 13-0 counterattack, turning the game into garbage time.
Guo Xu played for 23 minutes, scoring 14 points, 15 assists and 2 steals, and no rebounds. He made 5 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 100% shooting percentage. He passed when someone defended in front of him. He made easy shots after getting rid of the defense.
Zhang Heli said regretfully: "This is how Guo Xu's debut in the new season is. He may not have sweated, and the fans are not satisfied with it."
Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "I think except for Xiao Si and inside and outside, the Suns are not sweating either. The Lakers' inside defense is too poor, and the two of them can solve the battle."
Shuai Tang also replaced Kobe and Odom. The team played like this in the first game and he was lost.
In the last quarter, Payton, Howard, James Jones, Kukoc and Diop brought substitutes. This is the Suns' marginal lineup, which made the Lakers substitute so much that they beat the Lakers.
Blake, Valejo and Ariza were not on the roster today. The coaching staff did not expect to play like this. It was time to send new players to practice.
Diop defended the penalty area, allowing Lakers players to shoot from mid to long distance, but their substitutes generally lacked range, and there was no advantage in one-on-one single challenge, and the defenders could not pass. The Lakers' marginal point guard was Terry Brown who entered the NBA in a non-draft draft, and he had no special skills.
Howard was the perfect match against Rush. The two were not at the same level at all. He scored 10 points in a single quarter. Jones and Kukoc were able to pull out and shoot three-pointers, Payton and Kukoc were responsible for the organization, and the offense was smooth.
At the end of the game, 136 to 74, the Suns team scored 8 players in double digits, winning 62 points.
